Hi Beautiful Patrons!
Today it's time for Topic Zone #2. It's slightly later than planned because of the surprise stream from NG2B and NG4 I had to jump on yesterday, but I think this is a really fun episode.
Today's topics are:
1. Best NES Game? [Vrenna - Gentry]
2. Beat Em' Up Fundamentals [SegFault - Gentry]
3. My Most Desired Arcade Port [Fisken - Gentry]
4. The Role of Story in Game Design (Visual Motif) [Mister Mama Mia - Illuminati]
5. How to Innovate in an Established Genre [JBRPG - Illuminati]
6. Slow Paced Arcade Design, Game Tempo and Density [The Febo - Homie]
And just a reminder on how Topic Zone works for the new patrons, each teir gets a number of slots (Gentry = 3, Illuminati = 2, Homies = 1) and the topics are chosen by literal RNG (random number generator) and then all of the Patron tiers get to listen to the ep :-) This RNG format is fun because I think it nicely compliments the voting system of the Patreon Video Vote and it means that if you want a topic covered, re-submitting it each month is a viable way to get the odds to work out :-)
Thank you so much everyone for supporting the channel, without the Patreon support there would be no Electric Underground.
Sincerely,
Mark

I recently got back into the NES. I grew up with the NES. I recently picked up an NT Mini Noir and have been really enjoying collecting Famicom games. My favorite NES/Famicom games of all time would be a tie between Crisis Force, Gyruss, and Ninja Gaiden. I’m not the biggest Mario fan. I also really enjoy Zelda 2, Final Fantasy, and Dragon Warrior.

Damn, Mario 3 is the one I have the least fun replaying on NES (Favorite is Lost Levels), don't like the auto-scrollers and weird "puzzle" levels.
