26th June 2026 marks 30 years since the Nintendo 64 launched in Japan, and Alex went so mad with the pod format for one of his seminal console that we've had to cut the pod into two parts!

We're taking you on a journey through every year of the console's life cycle (including some bonus prerequisite pre-release chat) from 1996-2001, with the key developments and news, plus our thoughts on the key games.

We'll culminate the pod in the very near future with the same for 2000-2001, and finish everything off with our own personal top 10 games lists. Tune in for that in a few weeks.

Tell us your favourite N64 games on BlueSky @winnerisyou, and check out what we're up to on RankOne - SuperSmillie and Thrillex.

The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Geoff Keighley has ended its sixth year, and we are here to pick its bones dry. Bones we didn't always enjoy, but that's because we're grumpy old gits.

We talk about the highs and the many, many lows of Summer Game Fest 2026, capping it off with our individual top games announced (or shown again) over the course of the week - taking in anything from State of Play, Xbox Showcase, SGF itself, and Nintendo Direct.

Say hi to us on X @winnerisyoupod, on BlueSky @winnerisyou, and check out what we're up to on rankone.global: SuperSmillie and Thrillex

For Castlevania's 40th anniversary year, we simply had to cover some 'Vania games, and what better than two of the series' best - Aria and Dawn of Sorrow on the GBA and DS respectively.

These two classics get as close in quality to the inimitable Symphony of the Night as any other game has, but do either of them top that masterpiece? Better listen to find out.

Say hi to us on BlueSky @winnerisyou, and check us out on RankOne to see what we're currently playing. David is SuperSmillie, Alex is THRILLEX, and the pod is AWinnerIsYou. This pod is also on YouTube if you'd rather watch things - just search A Winner is You Podcast and we'll show up.
