SHOWNOTES: Halloween may be over, but we have some post-holiday content for you on Collateral Gaming: Bonus Round! On this special episode, Ash and Beau review SquareSoft's 1998 survival horror RPG Parasite Eve, an oft-overlooked title from a golden era of the developer/publisher. This PS1 game has one of the most unique combat systems that was frankly ahead of its time, and there's not anything quite like it even today. If you enjoy this episode, check out our Amnesia: The Dark Descent Halloween Special with Collateral Let's Play! on YouTube, and stay tuned for Part 2 of our Season Premiere on Doom (2016), as well as more late spooky content, such as an upcoming two-part episode on the Silent Hill 2 remake!

Title: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (ゼルダの伝説 知恵のかりもの, Zeruda no Densetsu: Chie no Karimono) [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Developers: Nintendo EPD, Grezzo
Publisher: Nintendo
Designers: Satoshi Terada, Tomomi Sano (directors); Eiji Aonuma (producer)
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release date: September 26, 2024
PROMO: Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (@CCinemaPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: We've been hyped as all hell to discuss the latest Legend of Zelda title, and that moment is finally here! In our latest Game Launch review, Zach and Ash reveal our spoiler-free thoughts on Nintendo and Grezzo's new adventure featuring—for the first time in any official Zelda entry—the titular character as the playable protagonist! The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a blend of traditional series gameplay with elements of the more recent open world formula, with an innovative gimmick giving Princess Zelda the ability to copy and paste monsters and other game world elements to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and traverse the overworld and dungeons. So how well do co-developers Nintendo and Grezzo implement these ideas, and where does this title stack amongst the franchise? Find out now, and stay tuned for the Collateral Gaming Season Seven Premiere and spooky season content very soon!
