The Four Horsemen themselves dissect the latest 3DS Nintendo Direct.

Conquest, Famine, Pestilence, Death. Lindemann, Veillette, Jones, Leahy. These and more parallels are drawn in this week's episode, in which the RFN riders are harbingers of doom tasked with the delivery of their thoughts on today's 3DS-focused Nintendo Direct. We keep it short and sweet, discussing Super Mario Maker for 3DS, Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World, Pikmin, and everything else announced. We also take an intriguing look at what was shown in the Japanese version of the event, which fans of horse racing and baseball will surely find to be a...revelation.
In between death knells we find the time to announce the games for our next RetroActive, which are:

Oh hell! Thanks for the catch. It is the Wii version we're going to play. This is what happens when you record, edit, and publish in one night.
I hope Lego City wins. I love that game and I don't think I ever heard anyone on the podcast talked about it in any detail. It's honestly one of my top 10 Wii U games quite easily and very high on my game of of the generation list if I were to make one. It hits all the right notes at the right amounts.
I could be talking out my ass here, but I believe that was the case.
wait, Lemonade and lolmonade are not the same person? :Q :Q :Q
... but I would have been more interested to discuss with others Hulk: Ultimate Destruction ...

As someone who is a huge fan of the game, I don't want Ultimate Destruction to win the poll. Everyone should play it if given the chance because the controls are solid and it "just feels right" for a superhero game that empowers you with (mostly) smooth movement and incredible strength... but I really don't feel like there is a lot of good discussion to come out of that game.
The combo system is pretty deep, so maybe you could do a deep dive on playing strategy - but that's not really podcast fodder. Maybe you'd compare it to other superhero games, or try to dissect the movement controls and verticality that make it feel so good when playing?
It really is a great game, just not one I have a lot to say about.
Conversely, the reason why I DON'T want Lego City: Undercover is because to me, the retroactives are the best opportunity to spur discussion about games that have had enough time passed to where it's a good revisit

No, Lemonade is an imposter, I'm OG.

Yeah, I think I would agree with that. But I also think it is such a good game that it should be talked about anyway.wait, Lemonade and lolmonade are not the same person? :Q :Q :Q

Its a coincidence. I didnt notice your very similar username until I had already joined.
Usually I use the name Lvaneede, but I think Lemonade is less confusing of a name.
Normally, LEGO City is too new to qualify, but it received by FAR the most nominations. With its relatively recent promotion to Nintendo Selects we were willing to allow it.It's older then TWEWY was when it got nominated.
