Description

We gather here today to pay respect to the game series of yore, that thrilled, entertained and moved us, and to shout at the top of our lungs, "I WANT MORE."

That's right, Button Boys is back, and this week it's all about the series we want to see return, from cult-classic cartoons to mega movie tie-ins, the Boys lament the games that never were.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.
