Topic: Episode 902: Japanese Tom Hardy

[NWR_Lindy]

This remake has hit a snag.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/69280/episode-902-japanese-tom-hardy

This week, we expand on our 1-900-103-4RFN offers with a deep dive on Death Wish 4 (00:00:26). This was nominally part of the introduction, but RFN will always RFN.

After a remarkable amount of time spent on a segment that exists only to let new listeners establish our voices/names and inform the other listeners if Jon is out (likely), we roll into NEW BUSNESS! Greg has a short update on Mario & Luigi: Brothership and then leads a conversation on new NSO offering: Donkey Kong Land (00:13:38). James is back on his... considerate behavior with the newly-released KUUKYOMI 4: Consider It (00:31:04). It's getting hard to talk about these things, they're all the same but they're still stupid fun. Guillaume has some final thoughts about Trials of Mana (00:39:54), and it turns out its a really good game. It's also part of the Nintendo Black Friday sale. He's significantly less positive on the Amazon series Like a Dragon: Yakuza (00:45:43). Jon bought Skyrim, again (01:05:01). This time it's on PS5 and he's actually playing it. He and James also crack strategy on buying vouchers for the eShop and Xbox Live - it's almost game time for these two.

After a break, the crew pull together a list of eight Nintendo DS games, two each, to deliberate over selecting our game for The Nintendo DS 20th Anniversary Retroactive (01:15:27). What did we pick? Listen and find out.

Feed the beast!

Great list of games, Layton is a good choice, very iconic DS series.

With so many unique DS games, everyone will probably have their own faves that you did not mention, but how TWEWY did not get at least a passing mention is baffling! (Maybe you already did a retroactive on it)

It is the most DS-ass DS game ever made, bar none.

Touch screen combat, dual screen combat with plus pad where both screens matter as you pass a light puck, yelling into the mic, using sleep mode to evolve pins, setting up a STREET PASS shop, giant dual screen ultimate attacks with a banging soundtrack and cute tattoo style art.

That would be my pick, but I do vaguely recall you have talked about it before.

Looking forward to Layton discussion!
