Articles in substack On Topic Retro - Mario Galaxy The Price Is Retro If this is your first time playing Price Is Retro, here’s how we play. I’m going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list. At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the robot Deus Guess Machina! He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess Dinosaur - Leonard - adds up original costs, retail value Ghost - Polterguest - always guesses 300 RetroLogic Ep150 Shannon’s List Sam’s list John’s List Flightsy’s Live List Show Topic - What We’re Playing-New Games, Old Games, New hardware? Sam- Shannon- John- Community Couch Savannah the Hyena Queen — 6/28/2026 1:17 PM Been playing Mario Galaxy for the challenge, but after that I’ve gotta get back to the backlog: Mario Galaxy 2, Mario & Luigi Brothership, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, Persona 3 Portable, Omori, Sea of Stars, etc etc etc. I’m a busy gal Add Deltarune chapter 5 to the list as well, though hopefully that won’t take too long Games with Coffee — 6/28/2026 1:40 PM Working on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but took a break to play Star Fox. After Rebirth, I'm gonna switch to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, followed by Mina the Hollower and then Hades and Chained Echoes OctoRock_1982 — 6/28/2026 2:51 PM I finally got to dig into Mina The Hollower. I’m about 15 hours in and having the time of my life. The game scratches such a specific type of itch for me, and I’m sure would do the same for veteran gamers of a certain era. It somehow feels authentically retro and yet wholly unique at the same time. As much as the game is touted as a top down Zelda-like, it borrows just as much DNA from the likes of NES games like Dragon Warrior, StarTropics, Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden. So, as you might expect, I’m in heaven playing this game. Trey — 6/28/2026 3:02 PM I bounced onto starfox and castlevania harmony of dissonance since getting the gba castlevania double pack last week. It’s my first castlevania and my first starfox 64 playthrough! I hope to return to Mina the hollower after but rhythm heaven is coming soon! BeerBierCerveza [nDAD], — 6/28/2026 3:58 PM I've been playing through the games in the Resident Evil bundle. Finished Requiem, then played through biohazard, and I just rolled credits on village this weekend. All of these games were amazing! I was certain at least one of the games in the bundle was going to be a dud, but I was wrong. Requiem is definitely a contender for GOTY! Drex1981 [ARC], — 6/28/2026 4:39 PM I’ve been playing the New Star Fox remake which has been really good. Also Marathon, Dispatch, Mario Kart world, and Final Fantasy 6 for my snes. And also Street Fighter 6 I’ve been competing in Tournaments Your Wallet's Ambassador — 6/28/2026 6:46 PM I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy, trying to get to 242 stars as quickly as possible for Retro Rewind. I've also been playing an Archipelago run with some college friends, where I'm playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. My backlog includes Deltarune Chapter 5, Rhythm Heaven Groove, The rest of the M&L games after Bowser's Inside Story, and kinda every game I own... Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!
