And no James, the videographer isn't dead. Just fainted.

Time for another scintillating round of "Who's That Pokemon".

A new video has dropped purporting to be lost footage of the Hisui region as in Pokemon Legends Arceus.

All good things must come to an end.

With people waiting for the Switch OLED, one of Nintendo's most impressive streaks finally came to an end in September according to the sales survey released by the NPD Group.

Are we going to have to haul this week before the Senate before it gets assassinated?

Unlike the last couple of weeks, we don't have a consensus GOTY here - sure, Dying Light is an old game but it's not really one that blew up in the higher consciousness the same way Tetris Effect or Disco Elysium did. Meanwhile, we'll have a review up shortly for The Caligula Effect 2 - which is good,... Read more...

This is a link for the radio feed, but it isn't live yet. However, we'll also be recording in the RFN Discord - hopefully. I'm going to try to get that to work but expect nonsense!

2/22 being a Tuesday... wonder how many other publishers will want to take advantage of that.

The NIS America published "new school" JRPG Monark has staked out its release date.

The horror RPG, which is due for Japanese release this coming Thursday, will land in North America on February 22 (2/22/22) with European release to follow on the 25th. A demo for the game is available in Japan, but has no release date for the rest of the world.

The first full week of downloads in this post-OLED world kicks off with another old GOTY with the arrival of the heavily philosophical RPG Disco Elysium, as rumored for months and then made official a couple of weeks ago in the Direct.

"Political activist" being the politest way to describe him.

One of Japan's most infamous composers and a pillar of the Dragon Quest series has died.

A statement from Square Enix announced that Koichi Sugiyama, who composed the music and sound effects for the Dragon Quest series dating back to the 1986 original, died on September 30, 2021. The cause of death was septic shock, a sudden loss of blood pressure following an infection.
