A Winner Is You

KDB returns to fight the good fight for the highest-scoring video games from 1996 as we get drafting once again.

It's an absolutely stellar year, but the threat of steals and kills of draft picks hangs heavy over our intrepid drafters. Will David's lead at the top of the league become insurmountable or will KDB finally get another win?

As a bonus, there's also the 2026 draft, where we each pick five upcoming games (one can be dropped at any time before release) to see who'll have a bonus league point by the end of the year.

Six more games on the Nintendo Switch Online service - three from the SNES and three from the Mega Drive - were randomly drawn back in episode 118, and now they've come to collect.

We played through Gunstar Heroes, MUSHA and Virtua Fighter 2 on the Mega Drive/Genesis, and Operation Logic Bomb, Spanky's Quest and Star Fox 2 on the SNES. Now we're here to discuss them and stick them in our tier list.

For info, the tier list before this episode was:

S - Wild Guns (SNES)

A - Shinobi III (MD), F-Zero (SNES), Earthworm Jim (MD)

B - Kirby's Dreamland 3 (SNES)

C - Comix Zone (MD), Battle Toads (SNES), Psycho Dream (SNES), Strider (MD)

D - Target Earth (MD), Claymates (SNES), Space Harrier 2 (MD)

Join us for a three-hour extravaganza to celebrate and denigrate the best and worst of video games in 2025.

It's a little bit different, and more traditional, this year, as we're talking almost entirely about games that came out in the year, rather than just sticking to what we covered on the pod.

Categories are:

• Best pickup (a little bit of bragging about whatever random tat we bought last year)
• Best Story
• Best Gameplay
• Best Surprise
• 7/10-est 7/10
• Best Old Game
• Best Game We Didn't Finish
• Biggest Disappointment
• Best Podcast Game
• Most Mid
• Best Game
• Most Aniticpated 2026 Game

Enjoy! Lets us know your best game of 2025 over on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyou and we'll see you in the next episode for SNES/Mega Drive Roulette part 3!
