As promised, the Topical Resort returns for a special episode covering the rise and demise of the Switch's SEGA AGES line now that Herzog Zwei has capped off the series! All your favourite old segments are here in the new decade, so come and join us as we look back on SEGA's now deceased premium range of ports and remakes.

It's Something Nostalgic I Guess, and it aired as a part of our Mega Drive Mini Marathon! Witness the one night only (and we really mean it this time) return of the Resort to discuss what is technically SEGA's newest console, because we all know that this show is about technicalities...

One last happy memory before we say goodbye. Just originally advertised as the season finale, this episode of the Resort sees the permanent closure of its doors, and we hope it's in the best way possible: with some extremely sentimental to Viper. Thanks to you guys for 104 episodes of topicality, and thanks to SEGA for making the Master System, it's pretty cool.

The final fan request of the series hits your ears tonight or whenever you choose to download this, and it's a contender for the most interesting topic in either series... at least in the opinion of the chat and Viper. This episode tells the tale of one of the pioneers of digital storefronts in gaming, it's different regional varients (including one extremely close to home to our host!) and its quite literal fall from grace... or space.

You guys had the choice for Episode 100, so Episode 50 of Season 2 goes to Viper, and this time he also picks a composer, one of his favourites in-fact. Industry legend Hideki Naganuma is on the chopping block tonight, as are many of his great soundtracks including Jet Set Radio Future, Sonic Rush, Super Monkey Ball 3D, Black Panther: New Yakuza Chronicles and many more! If you're a fan of the man, you'll want to tune in to hear the random trivia and chronological history of his work. If you're not a fan, isn't now the time to jump in?

No Jamie, that doesn't say IceCap........ It was E3 this week, and we're go full anti-cynical Brit mode against these cliche gamers and their whole enjoying games shtick by moaning about games! Almost makes you wonder why we pretend to like them... PSO2 is cool though, that's a good takeaway from tonight!

Brit wouldn't stop asking for it, so we should probably deliver. Arguably one of the most requested episodes EVER is selected to occupy the special 100th slot, and of course we spend more time talking things that aren't Tee Lopes than we do talking about the man himself. But there's music! The chatter's okay too...

The final episode of May sees us Off-Topic... well, one final time this series. There's small amounts of TSR and Monkey Ball talk, but mainly a lot of nattering and great music. Oh, and it all comes from an overslept Viper who's extatic over being hired. As extatic as he gets that is...

That one TSR game came out a while back, we should probably play some music from it and other Sumo games. Outside of that, we've got the two other Sonic Racing games, lots of Virtua Tennis, Tennis with more likable characters and that one OutRun game they won't port. Oh, and this all takes place during RS' testing season! NOTE: To listen to the HQ version of this podcast, please visit: https://mega.nz/#!vRF1nYiQ!6ZOacHuLTB3V_j2n1E6fBOVFyKxRquV44aoR6NpDI6U
