Did you like this episode's game selections? Let your fellow listeners know in TalkBack! Think you've got a better choice? Then send it my way and your request might be on the next episode of Radio Trivia: Podcast Edition!  Heck, throw in a question and specific songs if you want.  Just remember, it has to be a game found on a Nintendo system in North America (unless we say otherwise)!

Great episode!
 
I correctly identified games 1, 4 & 5.
 
Game 5 was probably the quickest I've ever been with an answer. I literally got it within 2 seconds of hearing the first song. I have to disagree with what was said on the episode though. I loved that game's soundtrack.
 
Game 4 was also one of my favourite games as a kid so I was quite quick on the button with that one too.
 
Nice choices people.

I always feel old when TYP talks about the consoles of his past.   :-\

I didn't recognize any of the games, as usual, but I always enjoy listening!

Great show, guys.   ;D


I guessed just two of the games correctly.  Very easy on the ears while I do errands.

Another fun episode; Happy new year TYP!


I could only identify Game 1; I love that game.


I was surprised to find out the game for the music on Game 2. I may have to check it out


I knew I had heard the music for Game 4 before, but I couldn't remember what game it was. I owned that game for a while back in the day.


I really want to play Game 5, it's been on my wish list for a while.

I owned game 3 for a while, and the gameplay was mostly serviceable, but describing it as anything more than that would be too generous.  I was a little surprised to hear reaction to the game's music, because the music was my favorite part of that game as well as it's parent.  :)    The Final Fantasy XII music is also one of my favorite parts of Theatrhythym.




I absolutely love game 5, and I only gave the game a chance because it was discussed at length on RFN a couple of times.  Fortunately, they also had a demo of it available on iOS, and I was able to try it out before getting it on the DS.  Back when I downloaded it, it allowed you to play through the first two major areas of the game.   I thought the implementation of the game worked really well (and looked more beautiful on my iPod/iPad.  I'd recommend downloading the demo if you've ever been curious about it, but haven't wanted to pay money for it outright before trying.  I did actually end up asking for the game on DS in a Christmas in the past.  Loved every minute of it.

I've been racking my brain to piece together what happened with me and the SNES since I edited the episode. I think what happened was that I got the SNES in summer of 1993, because I'm pretty sure I got Game 1 when it came out, and yet am also fairly confident that I got SNES games as presents in December of that year.

I didn't say I disliked the music. Merely that to me it doesn't come off as particularly distinct, compared with other games in the genre that I have used on this podcast but have not played.

I'm glad to hear it's on iOS, because it is probably hard to track down in the DS format. I see the first chapters are still free on iOS, and you can buy all of the chapters for $8. Not shabby at all.

I also bought Game 5 based purely on RFN's glowing recommendation, and it's probably one of my favourite games of [insert relevant generation here].

Incidentally, I also (finally) first played Phoenix Wright by Capcom on iOS.  I believe that it's only $5, and it also works very well on the platform.  I only wish the other titles in the series were also available, if only because they are getting more rare and expensive as DS titles now.
