Everyone is Jeremy, before we jump into the episode proper I wanted to indulge in a tiny bit of self-promotion.

RetroNots has teamed up with fangamer and engineer Mike Choi to create something for fans of classic gaming and Nintendo's Switch.

Flip grip. Flip grip is the missing piece in Nintendo Switch. It's a simple plastic controller grip that allows you to play the system sideways in handheld mode.

A lot of old arcade games ran on what is known as Tatae mode, where their screens and their cabinets were rotated sideways to be taller than a wide.

Lots of games on Switch offer vertical display options, which the system can take unique advantage of thanks to the way the entire console consists of a portable screen with detachable controllers, but until now you need to set the screen on a desk stand in order to play Tatae mode games.

Flip grip allows you to rotate your Switch and use it as a portable by securing the screens in the detachable joy-cons together in your hands.

More than 20 games currently take advantage of vertical play on Switch, including timeless masterpieces like Gallagher, Donkey Kong, and Pac-Man, hard-court shoot-em-ups like Igorugo, Gunbird, and Strikers 1945.

And even a few modern games like Pinball FX3 and Mutant Muds. There are more on the way too, like Sega's Game Ground, SNK's Akari Warriors, and Bullet Hell Shooter's Cylaria Delta.

Flip grip is available for pre-order now on Kickstarter. Unlike other Kickstarter projects, this one's risk-free.

We've prototyped the Flip grip extensively and it's ready for manufacture. We just need the cash to pay for it and haven't produced and distributed.

In fact, since the Kickstarter has already blown past its goal, we've already set the production wheels in motion so the Flip grip will be in your hands this fall.

Flip grip is just $12 plus shipping. So if you love classic gaming on Nintendo Switch, head over to Kickstarter before July 9th and check out Flip grip.

This weekend return-outs, once we finish the final battle, it's time for the inverted castle.

Hi everyone and welcome to this our final Metroidvania episode. I hope it's me Jerry Parrish and I am in the studio by which I mean my guest room with such Illuminous personalities as Ben Jedward and Chris Sims.

We've done like 20 or 30 episodes about the history of Metroidvania games. There's been some semantic dickering. There's been some preposterous claims that certain games are Metroidvania's when they clearly are not.

We're bringing this all home. This was supposed to be the last episode was supposed to be our final episode of Metroidvania games, but that so didn't happen.

And therefore this is going to be the end. This is it. We're wrapping it up.

I don't know why you're so eager to be done with. I enjoy the time that we spend together.

I was like, yeah, but what if we spend our time together talking about different things? Why would we do that?

New subjects. This is the most important subject after all.

Yeah, this is like why would we do that when we have Dracula to talk about?

I know that two out of three of us, this is our favorite game genre. I'm pretty sure.
