Tomorrow on Retronauts: Street Fighter II is 20

People keep calling in for our live Retronauts podcast recording sessions, and that's great. In fact, more people call in than we actually have time to include in the shows! Your patience in listening to busy signals is commendable, though, and to shake things up a little -- hopefully allowing people to get through a little more easily -- we're moving this week's recording session from its usual Friday afternoon slot toTuesdayafternoon. That's tomorrow! Less than 24 hours from now, in fact.

Our topic this week? Why, nothing less than the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter II. Do you have Street Fighter memories or questions? We're willing to bet you do! That game was a danged juggernaut. Everyone played it, whether in the arcade or at home on Super NES, Genesis, or TurboGrafx-16. If you were young enough 20 years ago, maybe you played it first on Game Boy. (If so, we're sorry.) The Street Fighter series is still going strong, even if Capcom's sluggish arithmetic skills mean that two decades later we're still only up to Street Fighter IV. But that's cool. It's all the more opportunity to reminiscence on the most influential fighting game ever.

So call us415-547-8778tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29) between4 to 4:30 p.m.Pacific time (which is, as always,7 to 7:30 p.m.Eastern). We will talk to you about Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and even Sheng Long, if you want. Just don't challenge us to a Street Fighter II throwdown, because it would be unsporting to pick on people whose fighting skills are as atrophied as ours.

Special Bonus Feature:If you prefer more passive entertainment rather than taking an active role,last week's Retronauts episode (feat. the 10th anniversary of the Game Boy Advance) is now online to pleasure your ears. Except in a less naughty way than that particular turn of phrase makes it sound.
