Topic Zone 2! Best NES Game | Beat Em' Up Fundies | Desired Arcade Port | Video Game Story | Established Innovation | Game Tempo and Density

Hi Beautiful Patrons!

Today it's time for Topic Zone #2. It's slightly later than planned because of the surprise stream from NG2B and NG4 I had to jump on yesterday, but I think this is a really fun episode.

Today's topics are:

1. Best NES Game? [Vrenna - Gentry]

2. Beat Em' Up Fundamentals [SegFault - Gentry]

3. My Most Desired Arcade Port [Fisken - Gentry]

4. The Role of Story in Game Design (Visual Motif) [Mister Mama Mia - Illuminati]

5. How to Innovate in an Established Genre [JBRPG - Illuminati]

6. Slow Paced Arcade Design, Game Tempo and Density [The Febo - Homie]

And just a reminder on how Topic Zone works for the new patrons, each teir gets a number of slots (Gentry = 3, Illuminati = 2, Homies = 1) and the topics are chosen by literal RNG (random number generator) and then all of the Patron tiers get to listen to the ep :-) This RNG format is fun because I think it nicely compliments the voting system of the Patreon Video Vote and it means that if you want a topic covered, re-submitting it each month is a viable way to get the odds to work out :-)

Thank you so much everyone for supporting the channel, without the Patreon support there would be no Electric Underground.

Sincerely,

Mark
