Focus: PC Genjin

Season 2, Ep. 2

For our first Focus episode, we pick up from where we left off with GB Genjin/Bonks Adventure on the Gameboy and expand our focus to the entire PC Genjin/Bonk oeuvre. From his debut titles on the PC Engine to his cancelled titles for the 7th generation of console hardware, we look back at the little mascot who almost could.

  • 12. Focus Extra: Street Fighter IV - The ties that bind

    01:38:56
    Five week month bonus episode! It's time to look at the official prequel to Street Fighter IV, which doesn't contain much in the way of streets, fighting, or indeed any useful correlation to the plot. Ken is a Salaryman, Ryu is the bestest boy, and Seth is taking time off from Emmerdale. Cliff watched the English dub, Ash watched the Japanese sub, and it didn't make a bit of difference to their experience. Judge for yourself and listen to their suffering.Watch the English dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AOr5RkAVFAWatch the original sub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jlIfFyshZYJoin the conversation on Discord!Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com

  • 8. Video Power - Wrestlemania Challenge Day 1

    01:45:36
    Ash has lured Luke back to the the main timeline with the promise of 90s nostalgia, wrestling and white guy rapping! Who could resist?We have awkward kids on TV, lots of shouting, improbable levels of product placement, challenges that don't make any sense, and more Dutch angles than a Geometry Convention in the Netherlands.
