Aging Geekfully Podcast: Top 5 Video Game Systems - Part 3/5
Reminisce about video game systems past with our geek trio, in part three of a five part series. Hear Jon’s Secret Shame, and Neil’s Shameless Brand Loyalty. Also, Brandon begrudgingly supports his sworn enemy.

I blame the fact that Koji Kondo is more of a supervisor nowadays. In the vintage era of the NES and SNES he composed just about every musical theme in Nintendo made games.
That, and perhaps there's an over-reliance on nostalgia to sell contemporary products. There are some great reworkings of classic songs, but I miss the days where every musical number was an amazing, toe-tapping experience.
