Most of the RFN crew is traveling this weekend, leaving James to edit, so we recorded early and made it a one-segment quickie all about E3 2014. The annual pageant for video games is always an exciting time for Nintendo fans, as we often know very little of the year's remaining game releases until the show begins. We've been futilely predicting E3 announcements for years on Radio Free Nintendo, so why stop now? It turns into a robust discussion about the upcoming event and several recent topics and rumors that may factor into what Nintendo brings to E3 -- including Hyrule Warriors, Retro Studios, Miyamoto's secret project, and interactive figurines.
Next week is the perfect time to read some E3-related emails, so please send in your own to help make it even better! You can also check out Jonny's latest guest appearance on the excellent Radio Trivia: Podcast Edition by our friend and frequent guest, Michael Cole. This is also a good time of year to be listening to Jonny and other ex-RFN dudes over on the Box Office Poison podcast.
Doesn't Next Level Games make the Mario Strikers games? I would really like to see an HD Strikers.
NFC figurines: they're not for us until they start putting them in games made for us...Are you saying you want them in smash Bros? I got it you want them in X? Oh I see you want a Tingle figure to go with your copy of Zelda U
NFC figurines: they're not for us until they start putting them in games made for us...No they aren't for us *period* and if Nintendo tries to force them on us with smash I will tie Satoru Iwata to a tree and repeatedly slap him until one of us is dead,
Don't get all crazy. You still have know idea what their plan consists of. I'm hoping they use NFC characters to sell virtual console games. I'd love to buy Link at Walmart with all the days in it to install the original smash Bros on my Wii U. Then I get a game and a fun toy and Nintendo gets to keep retailers happy and market the virtual consoleNFC figurines: they're not for us until they start putting them in games made for us...No they aren't for us *period* and if Nintendo tries to force them on us with smash I will tie Satoru Iwata to a tree and repeatedly slap him until one of us is dead,
