Jon continues his half-hearted support of the show by being late again, so we cover New Business without him. James is honoring WiiWare by taking a look at Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord. This literal tower defense game spurs a deeper reflection on the fate of the Crystal Chronicles franchise. Greg gives us a quick update on his navigation of the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 following the most recent update. He then joins James looking into the WiiWare abyss, looking at demos of Fluidity and Jett Rocket. Gui rented the Switch version of L.A. Noire. He's unimpressed by Cole's unique skill at yelling at people. He also greatly enjoyed twin-stick shooter Tesla vs Lovecraft.
After the break, Jon joins us for Listener Mail. We start with a quick look at the "Nindie" event. Just to be clear, the use of quotation marks is meant to reflect derision at such a horrific marking buzzword. We then answer a trio of emails: which Atlus 3DS RPG to buy, getting Wii Points from Larry The Cable Guy, and why London doesn't have a larger retro scene. You can join our movement to reject Nintendo's weirdly paternalistic term for indie games by sending us an email.
I threw a final $20 on the Wii shop channel, which makes my final balance to spend at 2300 points. In browsing the shop, I really don't know if there's any Wiiware that really compels me to buy beyond maybe the Final Fantasy ones mentioned in the podcast, and I need to do my homework a bit before I bite on one of those. I forgot how awful it was to enter credit card info to add points, how you couldn't add exactly the number of points you needed to make a purchase, and how little internal space there is on the Wii.
I'm playing My Life as a king right now and that game has some real framerate issues as well. Specifically when there are a bunch of NPCs around when you build a building.I threw a final $20 on the Wii shop channel, which makes my final balance to spend at 2300 points.

That's actually exactly enough to get My Life as a King and the 3 races DLC and My Life as a King is a really good game and the 3 races DLC is the one I most highly recommend.
