The Godfather Part II of podcasts is here! In this episode, we fire through every major Nintendo series and compile a longlist of games to populate our top 50 first-party list.

Tune in next week for the third and final part – The Godfather Part III of podcasts, perhaps, where we’ll arrange the top 50 on air. Does this mean that Sofia Coppola is Wario? Possibly.

This week’s music is from the Last Window: The Secret of Cape West soundtrack by Satoshi Okubo.
