Famicast XIII
The first part of this 3+ hour show starts off with some (virtual) violence towards animals as Minoru talks about two completely weird and wacky "animal action" games he's been playing, Tokyo Jungle and Cubivore. Yes, that bizarre GameCube game that was originally developed for the Nintendo 64DD. This leads nicely into some GON talk from JC. If you don't know who GON is, or what his theme song sounds like, you will by the end of this show! After that, we pick Daan's brains on the E3 games he played (twice), but we try to not retread the same games you may have heard talked about on the other NWR podcasts. Even if you're sick of E3 wrap-up shows, there could be something of interest! With the new business out the way, we run down the whole Nintendo Direct presentation with focus on the Japanese one of course, something that seems to be becoming a Famicast tradition! After discussing Mario DLC, Animal Crossing and the 3DS LL we take a break and come back with....
Famicast XIII-2
Yes, this episode was so long we had to take a 24 hour break and come back with a different crew! Matt Walker joins the fray and helps us run down all the latest Nintendo news from Japan, including a VC release that brings out the fighting game fan in him. Life in Japan is a really special one this episode. We take you on a Nintendo history lesson, using TV commercials going as far back as the Famicom Disk System! If that wasn't enough already, we still find time to answer some listener mail and look back on our E3 hopes and dreams (and how they fared against reality).
So grab the biggest drink legally available to you, curl up with your favourite pet and a bowl of nicely seasoned rice, and enjoy the longest episode of the Famicast ever made!
Thanks for the episode guys. It's always fascinating to hear from people who actually live in Japan.
special praise to Minoru from bringing that extra perspective on the Land of the rising sun.
Great to have that Capcom guy back on the show again.
Superb song choices particularly DKC Boss music.
Not a major concern really, but given the choice I'd rather shorter episodes that appeared more frequently but I don't want to sound ungrateful.
Oh, and more DQ X talk please!
Thanks again guys, already looking forward to the next one.
I guessed exactly one song right. I'm slipping!Then go play Cubivore instead ;)
Anyways, great episode as always, guys. It's always pleasant to find another episode on the feed, and it was doubly nice to have one this length. Glad the entire crew got in on the action this time, even if not all at once. Next month's episode is going to be so odd without James, though...
Also, Minoru's description of Tokyo Jungle was epic. I'm torn between wanting to play it, and wanting to destroy every copy ever made...
I guessed exactly one song right. I'm slipping!There were 2 or 3 semi-easy songs in there, but most of the others were quite hard. Also don't feel bad for not getting the dubstep ones!

That's why Danny should go with Boy Bands. Do a BIG send off.I guessed exactly one song right. I'm slipping!There were 2 or 3 semi-easy songs in there, but most of the others were quite hard. Also don't feel bad for not getting the dubstep ones!

I think Minoru's Tokyo Jungle bit was one of the best parts of any episode we've ever done! ;D
I think Danny's a bit nervous about hosting the next episode, but that could be because I said if he messes it up he's never allowed back on ever again. :P:
Then go play Cubivore instead ;)

Wait, are you telling me you don't wake up to a world made of Cubes...Then go play Cubivore instead ;)
But Cubivore doesn't have the ...best?... parts about Tokyo Jungle!
I'm talking about the realistic setting, of course
