Topic: Nintendo Free Radio 63: Everybody's Gone To The Bafmadads

[Shaymin]

There hasn't been this much Rare since the last vampire steak buffet.

Time: 3'13"00 (Download)

Regular service has almost resumed at Nintendo Free Radio, as the end of the editing backlog appears to be in sight. But first, we have some New Business to attend to, as Stephen and Donald took on respective Wii U 3D platformers in the form of Super Mario 3D World and The Legend of Kay Anniversary. Donald follows up the roll of cat puns with some retro brawling goodness in Streets of Rage 2... then Austen takes the wheel on the left side of the road and steers the crew through 30 years of googly eyes with Rare Replay. Everything from the good (Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts) to the bad (Grabbed By The Ghoulies, Snake Rattle 'n Roll, BATTLETOADS) gets looked at as Austen pretty much blasted through the collection in a few days. When not getting his British up, Austen didn't want to see the PS4 get Left Behind so he took a walk on the morbid side with Everybody's Gone To The Rapture (semi-functional run button included).

Whatcha Watchin' has returned from summer hiatus: Donald teases the next show and also talks Vision of Escaflowne, Stephen gets praise from at least one of our fans with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the impossible to search K, and an Orange is the New Black update. Austen is satisfied with a Soul Eater spinoff... NOT.

Following a rather emotional Listener Mail from our Canadian friend Jason, the crew looks at recent as-of-recording news with Gamescom, payola, MercurySteam x Metroid and the Mario Maker unlock kerfuffle on the docket. Finally, the Mushrooms cover Donald's employment woes with a bonus #ThanksHarper, Stephen's trouble with process, and virtual reality. Apologies for the downer ending.

We'll be caught up with shows before we record another one - the editor would like to thank Labor Day - and we want to hear from you. Email (nintendofreeradio at gmail), tweet or comment below, if you please.

Umm...I have to take issue with that as well, since I said Nuts and Bolts was terrible on the show, game that actively mocks you for trying  to play it like a Banjo game.  The games that I said were GOOD were Jet Force Gemini and Viva Pinata.

[Shaymin]

I never said you called it good.

your're on the podcast broodwars?

....................................yes, and have been since the beginning. Why are people always surprised by that, especially since I feel my forum discourse has somewhat mellowed since we started this? I've posted a good number of the episodes, actively commented about the editing status on some of them, and give my forum name/twitter handle at the end of every show.  .

Well, if you're new to the show, welcome aboard! That brings our total listener count up to...4! Making progress!

True, but given that we had him executed due to random draw (it was in the Danganronpa 1 spoilercast IIRC), it wasn't the most flattering of moments.
