Retro gaming is a hobby that has become increasingly popular over the last several years. New Game Plus - A Retro Gaming Podcast celebrates video games from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. It explores classics from Sony and Nintendo. The show includes games in both English and Japanese. Such a wide-reaching scope allows both the hosts and listeners to be nostalgic with video games.

The premise of the podcast is a simple but fun one. The three hosts spend a week playing a retro video game. This allows them time to get familiar with the game and fully formulate their thoughts about it. Afterward, they reconvene to discuss the game on-air.

Dustin, Kenny, and Nolan are the hosts of the podcast. The three have been friends for several years and share a strong love of retro gaming. Dustin is a huge fan of Final Fantasy VII and prefers the PS2 as his retro gaming console of choice. Kenny is a bit older, which is why he favors StarCraft and the original NES when it comes to retro games. Nolan is a Mega Man 2 fan who is particularly partial to the N64 system when he wants to play older games.

The variety of games the hosts have managed to explore on this podcast is very impressive. Some titles might be familiar to most listeners. These include the original Half-Life and Kingdom Hearts. Many are obscure, such as Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, which is from the Sonic series. The fact that the show gives games from different consoles and countries a chance keeps the podcast fresh and fun. New episodes of New Game Plus - A Retro Gaming Podcast arrive on Mondays.
