We've all got those games we've been meaning to play for years, and this week on BoxTrick, we're finally tackling some of our gaming backlogs!

In Episode 125, we're diving into two legendary franchises with fresh perspectives.

First up, we're talking Metroid, as Matt experiences the original NES game for the very first time. How well does Nintendo's 1986 classic hold up today? We discuss its exploration, difficulty, and the mechanics that helped establish one of gaming's most influential franchises.

We also get into Metroid: Zero Mission, the Game Boy Advance remake that completely reimagined the original adventure. And after finally playing it, Matt has nothing but praise for what might be one of the best ways to experience the original Metroid.

Meanwhile, we're heading into the world of Kingdom Hearts, as we get another first-time perspective on Square Enix and Disney's beloved action RPG. From its unusual crossover concept to its gameplay and characters, we're discussing what it's like jumping into Kingdom Hearts without years of nostalgia attached.

Sometimes the best games to play aren't the newest releases. They're the classics we've somehow missed along the way.
