Y2Gamers
Welcome to the Y2Gamers Podcast, a place where two long time friends and gaming rivals co-op and talk about a golden age of gaming, anime, and geek culture at the turn of the millennium. Each week, across the Pacific Ocean, we explore a fun new topic through our unique and wacky vantage points and share plenty of laughs along the way! About the hosts: Ming is a long-time gaming enthusiast with a special love for fighting, racing, and role-playing games. He also loves anime, sci-fi, and all things Japanese language and culture. He currently works and lives in Beijing, China...where he misses driving and unfettered internet access a lot! On the US east coast, Nick is an active member of the North Carolina gaming community with a specialty in fighting games and impossibly hard bullet-hell shooters. He is also an avid runner and eats marathons for breakfast!

This week on Y2Gamers, Nick and I punch, kick, and piledrive our way through the rough, crime-filled streets of Metro City in Capcom's Final Fight. For the game that was intended to be Street Fighter's direct sequel, Capcom pulled out all the stops to ultimately craft a masterpiece that would literally define a new category of arcade brawlers for generations to come.
Join us as we explore the revolutionary gameplay mechanics of the time, dish on our favorite baddies, and poke fun at the trash-diving hilarity of it all in this week's can't-miss episode!
