A delayed podcast eventually releases. A bad podcast is bad forever. (Original recording date: May 18. Not kidding.)DownloadYes, we readily admit this episode took a loooooooooong time to edit. But we hope the content is worth the several months of baking this nearly-lost episode had. Donald's
New Business begins with one of the ten best games of 2014 in
Kirby Triple Deluxe, in which you can almost hear Austen considering the game. After that, Donald hits the links and finds
Mario Golf World Tour to be... par for the course. Finally, Donald provides proof that yes, he did in fact play a freaking otome game in the form of
Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsegumi. Stephen was heavy with the roleplaying as he got into the mix with
Atelier Totori Plus, but saves most of his praise for the game that would have been his Game of the Year if it had come out a few months later,
Tales of Xillia. Austen brings it to the break with the final wrapup of
Final Fantasy X HD - yes, lightning was dodged - and the only old game he'd play all year that counts,
Captain America: Super Soldier. Also,
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is there for some reason.
In
Whatcha Watchin', Donald wound his way through the byzantine requirements to bring you word of the early days of the
WWE Network, while Stephen clocked in a little
Adventure Time. Austen's group of shows is superheroic, as you might expect, with the BluRay releases of
Spectacular Spider-Man and
Green Lantern: The Animated Series.
At the time of the recording, friend of the show Neal Ronaghan was getting a lot of heat for his Mario Kart 8 review - if only that would be the stupidest threat of the year. Anyway, since the plan was to have this out around the time of Mario Kart 8's release, the
Feature is a look at the Mario Kart series.
The Mushrooms contain change recommendations for a multi-billion dollar franchise, dancing on the grave of motion gaming... and vinyl siding? Also, a rather important medical update.
In case you missed it on the GOTY show, we're talking The Wizard soon. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the movie or anything connected to it, so tweet it to us @nfrpodcast, email it to
nintendofreeradio@gmail.com or leave it below!
