Sometimes we record a podcast and sort of forget to release it. Even if it's really really good. And then we don't release it after a little while because it's no longer topical. But it's really good. And we have Patreon supporters who want to hear it anyway. So here it is!

Vinnk and Sean discuss the Pokemon-related announcements from Nintendo in June 2018, try to figure out if the Pokeball Plus is worth buying. And just what the heck IS Pokemon Let's Go anyway?

Nintendo's online service for the Switch was free for longer than they said it would be, but the paywall still took us a bit by surprise. Had Nintendo earned the money?

Sean and Vinnk share their experiences so far with the paid version of the Nintendo Switch Online service, tease how to get the channel for Famicom games on US Switches, and somehow let the newest physical version of Night Trap onto our respective Piles of Shame..."One More Continue" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

Forty years after Atari helped rocket home video gaming into the stratosphere (and nearly 35 years after they helped to almost completely crater it), hobbyists have banded together across the globe to solve the niggling quality problems that plagued the original developers, making games so good that perhaps the video game crash may never have happened.

Vinnk and Sean welcome Call of Doodie director Joe Grisaffi to talk about his homebrew Atari games based (loosely?) on several of his films, and why completionists can never truly have everything.

Rob Matsushita is a (former) Madison, WI based filmmaker and playright. More importantly for our purposes he is also host of the 10 Minutes About Your Favorite Movie podcast on the Little Podcast Network. We're big fans of his show, and thought that the best way to get Dojo Disciples to become fans too is to show them how awesome it is through the lens of video games. Fortunately, Rob plays video games too. Sometimes.

Vinnk, Sean, and Rob give each other their top five favorite games, and chose one to talk about for ten minutes. (Er, apiece.) This is Ten Minutes About Your Favorite Video Game! Times three.

Even if you own multiples, everyone has a favorite console for each generation. But how does one choose which to support, when multi-platform releases are a certainty? And can you choose poorly, or otherwise be surprised?

Vinnk and Sean are joined by Game Dave of RetroWare as they journey through 40 years of game console history, and where they fell at each point along the way, plus pile on the shame with the games that they may never play as newer generations replace the current ones.

It's not every game, and not every company, but every once in a while a title will come out that is so badly tested, has a day one patch for a game-breaking bug, or isn't even on the disc or cartridge at all, that the box on the shelf is little more than eye candy.

Sean and Vinnk discuss the phenomenon of game publishers using their paying customers as beta testers, when having an "incomplete" game is acceptable, and what resale value -- if any -- that these games will have in the long te"One More Continue" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.
