TYP joins James and Greg to discuss Ambassadorships, soundtracks, and the Python-esque destruction of civilization, plus a ton of your Listener Mail.

As was foretold during our last episode, Jonny couldn't join the RFN crew this week, but what we didn't see coming was the after-effects of Hurricane Irene leaving us another man down, as Jon was still without internet access at the time of recording. Nevertheless, James and Greg persevere with the assistance of Radio Trivia host Michael Cole, and there's no shortage of Nintendo discussion to be had with the rollout of the Ambassador Program and a bumper batch of Listener Mail waiting to be answered.
New Business begins with our experiences of downloading and playing our ten free NES games on 3DS, with the latter component being a lot more fun and intuitive than the former. Next, TYP and Greg keep us stuck in the past by discussing Gargoyle's Quest and Final Fantasy III/VI, before James closes out the segment with Rock of Ages, a surreal Atlus XBLA game that combines mythology, history, tower defense, bowling, and Monty Python. Spoilers: James thinks it's awesome.
After the break, we take a collective deep breath as we embark on a (relatively) high-speed Listener Mail odyssey, beginning with a trio of tales regarding new 3DS owners. We then look at the chances of Wii U reversing the decline of the home console market in Japan, the correlation between game length and value, and much more before our journey of listener interaction ends with a subject near and dear to all of our hearts: soundtracks. An aspiring composer asks us what we like to hear in our video game music--will our feedback set him on the path towards greatness? Stay tuned for the next few decades or so to find out!
Big plans...

There are so many things wrong with this video.
It's worth it if only for the women. They can't resist.lol but their are a lot of cute girls in orchestra.
That's a lie.

Yeah, I didn't know you wore glasses.
BTW, when will anyone on the podcast get Xenoblade? I guess Greg isn't interested but I know the rest of you probably ordered it.
I'm kicking myself for not pre-ordering when I had the chance. Just have to wait for NoE to put out another shipment. That is if they even do so.

To be fair that seems to be only an issue with online stores, you can find plenty of copies in brick and mortar stores.
The nearest branch of GAME to me only has the £50 Red CC Pro bundle version of Xenoblade in stock at the moment, which for someone with two CCs already in his possession is a bit too much to pay right now (my online order for the game on its own comes to a little more than half the price).

Aren't there other stores that sell games near you?
The NGP name didn't technically change because Sony made it clear that Next Generation Portable was just the codename and was NOT gonna be the final name. I think the Wii U name is fine and don't understand the hate and confusion over it.
Do whatever it takes to make playing the game fun.
I used a Action Replay to play Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and I had no problem doing so. I had fun playing the game.
