Rushing Beat X finally untangles thirty years of confusing localizations. What North America knew as Rival Turf, Brawl Brothers, and The Peace Keepers was actually a connected Japanese trilogy with completely different storylines. This revival weaves those authentic narratives back together—zombies, soldiers, and bizarre frog creatures included.

Rick Norton and Douglas Bild are back investigating the Zeekus virus outbreak in Neo-Cisco. The combat feels right most of the time, though those oversized weight weapons get loose and jumping attacks still whiff more than they should. Classic brawler positioning issues persist, but the enemy variety makes up for it. Six playable fighters, each with distinct movesets. The Tough Enough Kitchen cooking system between stages. A soundtrack we'd actually listen to outside the game.

We cycled through several characters during our multi-hour session. Rick Norton remains the most balanced pick. Wendy's wrestling moves hit that sweet spot between speed and power. Kazan gets a proper run next time—curious how that character stacks against the rest.

The game doesn't sand off the harder edges of its 90s inspiration. Street weapons, tutorial overload, and all. Sometimes that works against it. Mostly it gives the revival genuine personality.

Rushing Beat X Hands-On: 30 Years Later, Still Weird and Worth It

Steve and Christina from Epic Adventure Podcast are back with their take on Ion Heart Multiplayer, and spoiler alert, they're giving it five fusion cores out of five.

Parable Games didn't just slap multiplayer onto their acclaimed solo mech RPG. They rebuilt the system around dice pools, expanded the pilot-mech bond sync into "Team Fusion" mechanics, and shifted the timeline to a more conflict-heavy period that better suits group play. The result? A hope-punk TTRPG that balances excitement with accessibility.

Best part: this might be the perfect gateway drug for getting family and non-combat-focused friends into tabletop RPGs. In a genre dominated by grimdark settings, Ion Heart's hopeful tone stands out. The Backerkit campaign is live now, and if you missed their 45-minute interview with creator Ben Alexander, it's worth tracking down on their podcast.

Is the Ion Heart Multiplayer RPG Even Better Than the Solo TTRPG?

In this 36-second short, the world's most self-impressed broccoli alien pulls off what he thinks is a perfect prank on Trixie, turning her head into a balloon. It does not go the way he planned.

This is a classic sight gag in the tradition of Tom and Jerry. Enjoy this quick dose of wholesome animated fun, and let us know in the comments what prank you think Broku should try next!

Cat vs Broccoli: Up, Up, and Broku

Eileen sits down to play Allison of Astra, a homebrew NES game currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, and it is not what you'd expect. You're playing as a six-year-old dimension-hopper named Allison, and each of the seven episodes throws you into a completely different world with completely different gameplay. One minute it's a robot uprising. The next, you're platforming alongside a living shoe named Booty.

The whole thing runs on original Nintendo hardware, built with NESMaker and the rare Mapper 28 circuit board, packed into 256kb episodes without cutting a single thing. Six years of development from PopGeeks contributor Peter Paltridge.

We play through most of Episode 1, Allison's Doodle Quest, here, and there's a free browser demo linked below if you want to try it yourself before the Kickstarter closes. Backing options start at $30 for a digital ROM all the way up to a red cartridge collector's edition with a certificate of authenticity.

If you've ever loved retro gaming, wondered how homebrew actually gets made, or just want to watch something genuinely surprising, this one's for you.

Make sure to follow the Kickstarter for behind the scenes updates on Peter's process in making the indie game.
