In episode 52 we welcome back Anthony as we talk about two new collections packed full of retro goodness.  First up we have the Cowabunga collection, consisting of 13 classic Arcade and console Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games.  This collection includes the arcade classic, the excellent SNES Turtles in Time and the Mega Drive masterpiece Hyperstone Heist.

The second collection is yet another Wonder Boy collection – The Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection.  In this expanded collection you will get six Wonder Boy adventures, as well as a total of 21 variations across the selection.  Played the Mega Drive version of Monster World, but always wanted to know how the Master System version compared?  Here you can play both!

We also discuss Nintendo taking down Steam Deck videos, as well as the importance of preserving video game and emulation.  PiePacker announces 10 SNK titles coming to the online streaming service, and Nintendo delay Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp indefinitely.
