Wait, Austen's playing WHAT???(Time: 2'38"46) (

A historic episode of Nintendo Free Radio awaits your ears this week, in more ways than one. Donald Galactic Punts
New Business to start off, as he actually finished
Persona 4 Golden, but finds the Golden-added content to be slightly tarnishing. Needing a break from all that, he dives headlong into the 2014 Club Nintendo Platinum reward
Game and Wario, which spirals off into a discussion of the Platinum and Gold selections - and if you're still waiting for the last minute to decide, that minute's coming. Austen picks up from there with
Kirby Triple Deluxe and finds...
...wait...
*rubs eyes*
...no, that's not a typo. Austen played a Kirby game. In order to maintain his cred, he also played Vita indie rougelike
Rogue Legacy and finds it to be far better than Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, though we damn with faint praise. For reasons that will be clear in the Mushrooms, Stephen has had other things to deal with, so he leads the whole crew including the dry Donald into an extended look at the
Destiny "beta".
After
Now Posted's full, glorious return
Whatcha Watchin' takes another turn for the weird. Donald cautions the group that
Sharknado 2 is barely worth a New York minute, while Stephen's possessed Netflix queue landed on harem (
Tenchi Muyo GXP), space (
Knights of Sidonia) and classic (Death Note). Austen also took a trip to space with
Star Trek: TNG (Season 3) and is better for the experience after the Blu-Ray transfer.
After an extended
Listener Mail (which you can read in full
here), the crew looks at some recent gaming controversies - though really, is there any other kind of news in gaming - touching on things like games as a service, preorder DLC, adblockers and the apparent Kotaku<->Polygon personality swap. A heavy set of
Mushrooms wraps as Stephen and Austen take different tracks to discussing tough life situations, while Donald just wants some damn folders.
With Gamescom coming, there's bound to be some things to talk about, so why not drop us an email at nintendofreeradio at gmail dot com if something catches your eye?
