This week we celebrate those that sail the seas looking for adventure, and those who hide in the shadows looking for … um, shurikens? Ninjas and pirates have been popular themes for video games since the beginning of video games! So why not take a look at the music from both! We also talk a bunch about Super Metroid at the beginning, so look out for that 😀
Joining us on the show is a Rhythm and Pixels all-star: Carlos! Carlos is an artist, gamer, music lover, and co-host of the Heroes Three podcast! Carlos is also an expert on both ninjas and pirates, holding degrees in both fields of study. Meaning, he’s played a lot of video games with pirates and ninjas!
