Download Episode 92: “Quintet with Todd” here!

Perhaps most well-known in North America for the ActRaiser and Soul Blazer series, the little development house known as Quintet went on to release some very unique titles in Japan long after we’d forgotten all about them.  In this episode, Todd (a huge fan of the Soul Blazer series himself) joins Ed and Mike to explore Quintet’s catalog and soundtracks.
