It’s an absolute punch-up as Timmy Williams from The Whitest Kids U’ Know joins Mike and Jaymo as they play the all-time classic Ninja Gaiden (NES, 1988) and the not-so-classic Kung Fu Heroes (NES, 1989) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog!

In this episode, we explore how the Whitest Kids can be used as teaching tools,, learn why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weren’t allowed in Europe, behold the return of Nuts & Milk, and see how Ninja Gaiden squares up against 80s and 90s ninja movies (Surf Ninjas forever).

Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy new theme song! Subscribe to The Old SwitchAroo to get more retro goodness delivered straight to your feed! You can also join the fun on ⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoldswitcharoo.com⁠⁠⁠, where you'll find access to our Discord, voicemail, and so much more!

Game on, everyone.
