Newb alert! Our intrepid Japan Correspondent, James Charlton, joins the show for the first time to review his game impressions and other stories from the Tokyo Games Show. Unfortunately, Greg couldn't be on this episode, but you'll still get a dose of the Queen's English, as James C. also hails from those parts. With two Jameses on the show, we had to resort to initials to keep them straight!
After an update of our New Business and DLC Mondays segments, "J.C." pulls out a list of games from TGS and schools us on everything from Monster Hunter 3 to Let's Tap and Gardening Mama. He even recounts his meetings with various gaming celebrities from other podcasts, throwing Jonny into at least one fit of jealousy.
Next week, Greg returns along with Karl for a Listener Mail renaissance and a feature segment on gaming hype.

As for LBP, I probably didn't get it across very well. LBP is like New Super Mario Bros. With a foreground, middle ground, and background. It's a little awkward to move between the different planes, but it's really fun. The editor is really powerful, but it can be intimidating.

Lindy hasn't said anything that has made me mad in the podcasts for at LEAST two episodes. AMAZING
Don't listen to 120.

Ah, so THAT's what that achievement is about. I didn't think it was actually a Rockstar developer; it was just some dude.

Yeah, the whole foreground-middle-background thing was what made me not want it as much anymore. And since you mentioned it, Crimm, when can we expect 120? We're still more than a week behind.

Was it something I said? Oh, wait...yes it was. TWO-PODCAST STREAK BROKEN

No idea if that's what you talk about on 120, though. I guess I'll have to wait and see!

"Thomas Jefferson is okay I guess, but the Declaration of Independence isn't all that."
"Tiger woods is overrated as a golfer. Their are tons of people who are better."

He may not have directed a game in a while but he has been pretty hands-on with games since then, a good example being Super Mario Galaxy.
Is that actual fact, or just the outside perception? I haven't read all the "Iwata Asks" features, but Galaxy was developed halfway across the country from Miyamoto. And what does "pretty hands-on" really mean? That he plays the game every week and makes some comments and suggestions? Spielberg probably did that much on Boom Blox. Shaun White probably did that much on his snowboarding game. I would vastly prefer Miyamoto's input over theirs, but if all he is providing is input, I wouldn't consider that a very hands-on approach. Like I said, maybe his involvement went deeper than that and I'm just not aware of it.

The Iwata asks parts also suggest Miyamoto played a greater role than usual (for these days) on the development approach, as well as things like music direction. The asks article has an interesting discussion with the primary composer of Galaxy, who wrestled with Kondo and Miyamoto when settling on the game's musical feel. Unsurprisingly, Miyamoto sided with Kondo on the epic, non-cutesy style, but the new guy succeeded with his pro-orchestrated agenda!
