CNJ GameCast

With the Ataribox getting delayed, the gang had to cancel all plans for episodes 30, 31, and 32 since the focus was primarily on this future retro masterpiece.  With no time for preparation, we dabble in some discussion about Mega Man 11, Death Stranding, and the new Star Wars.

———————————————————-

Music for episode 30:

Cybernator

Super Nintendo

1993

Masanao Akahori

And it doesn’t end there:  Destiny fans are sad again,  EA tries to make things better with Battlefront 2 by not really making anything better at all, GameStop’s Power Pass rental service was so promising that they decided to can the whole thing, and Jamie bought his first AAA PC game in a decade.  It’s episode 29 on the CNJ GameCast.

Kinuyo Yamashita (original)

…to his home!  And a big hello to a new pad that he plans to clutter with 30+ years of video game junk that will drive his wife into insanity!  Don’t worry, we talk about games too.

Jamie gets 1000/1000 Gamerscore on Cuphead.  Game journalists lose any credibility they had left with Last of Us 2’s new trailer uproar.  And a bunch more…  It’s topic-city this week on The CMJ GameCast – “And we got Marty here, replacing Nick!”

Music in Episode 27:

Shoot ’em Up

Jee Kree

Unreleased

Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi

Sega Genesis

Nick’s got a bad case of the sicky ickies, so Chris and Jamie keep the show alive and on fire.  So much, that this week’s show carried itself right in from episode 25.  Listen to C&J quickly catch up with their personal lives and then get angry about all the things being said today about video game history.

We are hitting episode 25 here, and what better way to celebrate than to introduce a new member to our show – Fake Nick.  Nick out, Fake Nick in!  Get ready to boogie oogie oogie on The CFNJ GameCast.

 

It can’t always be peaches and cream here at The CNJ GameCast.  On today’s episode, CNJ gets an earful from our only sponsor, Toy Vault.  Mr. Sarantino gives Jamie some questionable ads for his store.  Nick and Chris play Cuphead.  Voicemails and Redbull…  Interesting show this week.  It’s episode 24 on The CNJ GameCast.

Pauly Sarantino, owner and founder of Toy Vault, is back on The CNJ GameCast; but this time the gang is a bit skeptical with what he has to say.  Is Pauly a true video game enthusiast?  Or just an attention seeker looking to cash-in by flooding The CNJ GameCast’s podcast, website, and YouTube channel with Toy Vault ads?  We find out on episode 22 of The CNJ GameCast.

This week The CNJ GameCast breaks down Magical Game Factory’s last minute delay of Paprium.  Dean Takahashi (video game journalist of 18 years) upsets the game community with a video of him playing the anticipated XBOX One exclusive, Cuphead; the CNJ gang gives their take.  It’s episode 21 on The CNJ GameCast.
