vudu, if you'll notice, while Mike and I both doubted that Smash Bros. would have four player online (though I distinctly remember predicting that it would have 2 player online), we were still hopeful about being wrong. As was Windy. You know, the guy who's apparently the only one who knows what he's talking about? He and Jonny are great additions to the show, but seriously, if they're the only ones you're interested in hearing, then maybe you should stop listening to episodes that they're not featured in.

Mike and I comment and make predictions to the best of our ability, and when we're in the wrong, we're the first ones to say so, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop saying what's on our minds. If that doesn't appeal to you, then maybe RFN isn't right for you.

I noticed you didn't say anything about it having garbage game design, hehe.

To be honest, I've got no qualms with Mother. I just like getting you guys riled up.

In all fifty-something episodes I've been in, this is, without a doubt, the most epic of the bunch.

Back in the early days of Radio Free Nintendo, the show had a strict PG-13 rating to adhere to. No cursing, no suggestive themes, and if we cracked during recording, it was edited out. We wanted to be seen as professionals, and as such, this had to be the way things were done.    


But that's just so boring.    


If you're a long-time listener, this show will either be the best you've ever heard, or the worst you've ever heard. Crass language, oh-so-suggestive subject matter, and then there's Hermione Granger... Yeesh.    


Discussed within, besides all of the M-rated stuff, is the confirmation that Smash Bros. is online, the new Virtual Console releases, and a feature on a couple of gaming-related movies that we've recently seen. It's a tour de force that you simply CANNOT miss.

Well, keep in mind that, up until a few years ago, the only department at Sony that was making any money was its video game division. These days their HDTV line is doing a lot better, but since the PS3 is sagging, it's still about even. Needless to say, Sony's a company with many, many problems.

Grasshopper Manufacture's console, non-cel-shaded games include Flower, Sun, and Rain and Michigan. If you count the Playstation 1, then this list also includes The Silver Case. It's also unknown if their tentative PS3 game, Kurayami, will be cel-shaded.

NWR Feedback / RE: How does NWR fund its VC game purchases?
« on: September 22, 2007, 01:26:11 AM »
Actually, ShyGuy, it's site policy to never use a non-VC version for review, since you never know how the emulation will turn out.

As for how we pay for the games, it's for the most part out of our pockets.

Jonny had a prior engagement this week, and as such, he had to pull out of recording RFN. It was looking like it'd just be Mike and I when Player One Podcast pundit, frequent contributor to 1Up, and fellow 'Nole Dan Dormer jumped in to save the show. Together we discuss the August NPD sales data, the inclusion of the PC-Engine CD-ROM games on the Virtual Console, and why Guitar Hero on DS is such a horrible idea.    


Be sure to stick around for the feature segment, where we go to town on Tokyo Game Show, going through the list of important titles and speculating on what kind of big surprises to expect. Remember to check back next week to see how right/wrong we were!    


And with that, folks, see ya next time!

TalkBack / North American Publisher Revealed for No More Heroes
« on: September 20, 2007, 03:47:40 AM »
Grasshopper Manufacture's stylish Wii game is finally on its way stateside.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14437

 Speaking to IGN on Wednesday, Ubisoft revealed that it would be localizing Grasshopper Manufacture's No More Heroes on Wii. Saying that, "Ubisoft is excited to be bringing Suda 51's latest adventure to gamers in North America," VP of Publishing Jay Cohen assured fans that the United States would be able to play the game in February.    


Purists can also rest easy, since Cohen also remarked that, "The game Ubisoft publishes in North America will have all of the content that its Japanese counterpart does. We wanted to make sure that gamers here would not miss out on any of the action or storyline details created by the talented development team in Japan."    


You can read the whole story, as well as view the all-new trailer, at IGN Wii.

Well, yes, but unlike the others, when he came on the show, he wasn't on the staff. Dan and Stan were both Content Editor and Sports Editor, respectively, for their appearances.

After a couple of rough patches in the last couple of episodes, we're back in full form for an effortlessly crafted RFN. Both Mike Sklens and myself jump back in the game, and it seems like it was just in time, too, since this week was host to a ton of news, including the new information surrounding the Wii Zapper, Iwata's vow that Nintendo won't become arrogant, and that Harvey Birdman is going to rock the Wii.    


There's a heck of a lot more, though. Mike and Jonny debate on whether or not Metroid Prime 3 is really as good as everyone says, and for the feature segment, we take war games to task on their historical and moral value.    


Once you're done listening, be sure to shoot us an email, whether it's for Mike's Crazy Mailbag or a regular question. You may just hear your email on-air! Also feel free to subscribe to and review us on iTunes, and if you're still feeling jolly after all that, a digg via the link above would sure be appreciated.    


And with that, see you next week!
