Famicom Dojo Video Game Podcast

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.

This is Vinnk's favorite Famicom video game of all time, and he was very excited for Sean to try it out. So what does this clueless gaijin with no frame of reference think about this game over 30 years later?

When we were kids, someone introduced each of us to the world of video games. Maybe it was a parent, or a friend who had the latest and greatest. Or maybe that love developed in arcades and translated into the home. This week, we revisit the formative years that made us gamers. And we have other stories that listeners like you sent in to celebrate our 100th episode.

Sean and Vinnk interview their families, play user submissions, and give their own individual stories about what it meant Growing Up Gamer.

It's been a whirlwind year for the Switch as Nintendo struggles to keep up with higher-than-expected demand, and publishers scramble to find titles to release. Meanwhile, indie developers are enjoying the power vacuum left by the AAA players, and really getting a chance to shine on this funny little charcoal gray box.

Vinnk and Sean look back at how the Nintendo Switch has changed their gaming habits over the past year, which games and consoles they DIDN'T play because the Switch existed, and recap how launch day didn't go at all like anyone expected it would. In Future Retro, we discuss the limited edition of Bayonetta 2, and the slow demise of the Nintendo 3DS with what is likely its swan song: Metroid: Samus Returns.

When the adventure game genre died off, fans though we'd never see its like again. In an era where action games dominated and AAA titles push the boundaries of budgets and the senses, who would want a calm, puzzle-solving (but also maddening) ADVENTURE?

Lots of people, it turns out.

By the end of March 2018, Wii owners will no longer be able to add Wii Points to the Wii Shop. By the end of January 2019, no new purchases, or downloads of existing purchases, will no longer be possible. Everyone's Wii will be no different than a Wii Mini.

Vinnk and Sean try to figure out their final Wii purchases, as the very thing we worried about when this podcast first started will finally overtake Nintendo's first online-aware console: the death of gaming services.

Nintendo dominated 2017 with the launch of the Switch console. What will this mean for 2018? How will third parties respond? Will competition heat up with Sony and Microsoft?

Sean and Vinnk lay out their predictions for the gaming world in 2018, and if their track record is any indication, well...
