On this episode Matt & Geoff are joined by Brian Riggsbee of Retro Game Books to discuss video game maps. Physical pack-in maps, HUD mini maps, and all the little points of interest. A map can help you know where to go next in your quest, what you could find along the way, or dream about where your journey may take you. Maps in video games have been doing this since games were more than one screen. You can check out the Video Game Maps series and other great game books on Retro Game Books.

Released in 2011, the Nintendo 3DS was the last dedicated handheld put out by Nintendo. Sporting two screens, glasses-free 3D, and a host of other hardware features; it also boasted a games library full of memories. Even if more than a few of those games are locked behind a defunct eShop. Matt & Geoff are joined by Jared from Play Along Podcast to discuss Streetpass, the first 3D Pokémon, and how little we actually used the 3D slider. Enjoyed this console retrospective?
