| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a very special episode of the Nintendo Powercast. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm your host, N64, Josh. |
| 0:21.2 | And I'm joined by none other than the legendary Rob McCallum. |
| 0:25.3 | How are you, my friend? |
| 0:26.7 | Very good. |
| 0:27.5 | It's always like strange deja vu when you and I record, because we've done this so many times. |
| 0:33.2 | It just feels like home, though. |
| 0:34.8 | It's a good feeling. |
| 0:35.9 | Yeah, it is. |
| 0:36.8 | It is. |
| 0:37.3 | You were one of my very first podcast guests, and, uh, you will forever razz me for |
| 0:45.1 | starting one of my shows where I was like, the lute cast starts now. |
| 0:50.7 | And so, so many messages like, hey, we should do a podcast when it starts. |
| 0:57.8 | No, like it's just, it's the best. It's, it's so good. But we go, we go way back. Our very first |

| 1:22.3 | pitch. Tell us about what Nintendo Quest was. Yeah, happy to. Well, Nintendo Quest was a film, |
| 1:27.3 | a documentary feature my first |

| 1:33.6 | 678 North American retail released, NES games, and 30 days with no online purchases. So we had to |
| 1:41.5 | hunt down a complete set in person, face-to-face, friends, collectors, stores, whatever he had to do. And he had that ticking clock working against them. And he wanted to do this because it had always been his dream to have a complete set. Walk in that room, be able to pick any game from that library and be able to enjoy. And I said, well, if this is your dream, I want to know how far you're willing to go. What will you let get in your way? So we hit the road, drove over 10,000 miles in the ultimate 8-bit road trip. And it was fun to see what obstacles cropped up to try to prevent him and get in his way. And what allies as well came to his aid at different times, the stuff that you couldn't write. |
