Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

The SNES has turned 35 years old as of August 23, 2026. This console probably had the biggest impact on me over all others. So many classics were born here, and we have yet to see such a generation grace us again since that time. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I truly believe when one talks about a golden age in gaming, this was the generation that represents that, and the SNES is a very huge part of that. So many of the games from this platform have stood the test of time and are frequently revisited and reiterated on time and time again to this day. The influence and the innovation of the SNES continues to echo past its time in the sun, and continues to be felt quite keenly. Tune in to find out what made this platform so special, and why people of my generation often fawn over this console.
