Culdcept Central founder Andyman joins me to chat about the mostly Japan-only franchise Culdcept. A mix of Magic the Gathering and Monopoly, this long running series carved out an interesting niche in the Japanese gaming sphere. We chat about the history of the franchise, the ambitious Culdcept Revolt, which Culdcept character should be in Smash and more. I also share thoughts on the memorable Kirby 64 and the coop chaos of the Overcooked series. Plus the latest Nintendo news and whether or not you should believe Yuji Naka.
