From the First World Problems Department, there were WAY too many games in February 2014!
DownloadEditors Note: This is the first of two recent NFR episodes that have been stuck in the editing backlog. The other should be out within the next week or so.We're warning you up front: There's a lot of games up in this here episode, and the oldest one we cover is a little over six months old. Stephen opens the bidding in
New Business with Level 5's rhythm comedy 3DS game
Weapon De Omasse Shop, which will no doubt be on sale in an eShop near you shortly, then blasts away our expectations for
Killzone Mercenary and finishes by Russian into the PS4 version of
Strider. Although nobody asked for Donald's list, he takes
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (WiiU) for a spin before tackling
Bravely Default and recommending one character in particular for a good booting. To finish, Donald goes ape over Retro's greatest game ever [citation needed],
Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropcial Freeze. Austen gets his inner vampire on with
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, revisits his old friend Elle in
The Last of Us: Left Behind, and takes Donald to trial for not playing enough
Danganronpa.
After a brisk visit to the forums for
Now Posted, the group calls an audible to try and finish the show quickly so Stephen blasts through a considerable
Whatcha Watchin' list that includes the following: The incredibly redundant
Legend of Legendary Heroes,
Kenchi:
Mightiest Disciple,
Kaze no Stigma,
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,
House of Cards (S2),
The Lego Movie and an Olympic update. Donald shows off a wrestling show you DON'T want to end up on with
Botchamania, and plays the role of Oracle of Delphox as a critical eye is cast upon the Mankeys in
Twitch Plays Pokemon. Austen has a brief stop at Steins;Gate sequel
Robotics;Notes, in which you can apparently build a walking mecha for US$10,000. Find out how on this podcast.
Listener Mail had to be reduced for time considerations, but the crew does present advice to a listener in Germany who lacks console experience and wants to try Chrono Trigger, as well as looks at their history with PC gaming. Finally, the
Mushrooms call out Nintendo, Spike Chunsoft, Sony and Namco and we dare you to guess which one ends up with the 1up from that group.
We still want to hear from you, so send any feature ideas, feedback and fun to
nintendofreeradio@gmail.com or leave it in the comments below. Also, Donald didn't completely ruin a recent episode of Radio Free Nintendo (
