RetroBytes Neo has found its groove as a monthly hangout for gamers and pop-culture fans alike. Each month, Joe and Brian pull up a chair for an unscripted conversation that can go just about anywhere—from industry trends and gaming history to personal stories and the occasional completely unexpected tangent.For the September 2026 edition of RetroBytes Neo, we welcome Super Dave from the Anime Field Guide for a lively discussion about the fascinating relationship between anime and video games. Together, they explore how anime has influenced gaming, how video games have inspired anime adaptations, and why the two mediums have become so closely connected. From iconic franchises and beloved adaptations to games that feel like playable anime, they look at what makes the crossover work—and what happens when it doesn't. It's an entertaining conversation about fandom, nostalgia, and the unique way anime and video games continue to influence each other.You can join in on the fun FOR FREE over at patreon.com/retrotopia where you can get this show 15 DAYS EARLY with a video bonus exclusive to Patreon.There, you can participate in the 9-Bit Banter Box, comment on the Game of the week, take part in polls, and listen to the Patreon exclusive Quick Play or get RetroBytes 15 days early with an exclusive Patreon topic.
