Koopa Kast

Hey Koopa Kast listeners. It’s time for the 48th rendition of the Koopa Kast. It’s been a slower couple of weeks than most, so we have less topics than usual, but more people!

We’ll be talking things like the latest Smash Bros Reveal, what Nintendo’s presence in SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) could mean for the future, and James’s “Transformers: Rise of Dark Spark” review.

Koopa Kast Episode 47

This week’s Koopa Kast get’s a little more business-y as Matt, Justin, J-Money, and Trevor talk about:

– Miyamoto saying Duel Gamepad Gameplay is not a priority for Nintendo Right now     – Philips has won a lawsuit case against Nintendo over two patents in the UK court.  Why does this particular case matter. –  EA’s kerfufule with releasing FIFA 15 to the Wii but not Wii U –  Nintendo’s new building for development in Minami-Ku, Kyoto.  This is interesting, since Nintendo of Europe just closed down one of their buildings in Germany (don’t ask me to pronounce the name). – News and excitement is still swirling about the upcoming Zelda for Wii U, so I want to know what you want out of the next Zelda (first professionally, then personally)

If you have any questions for us, you can e-mail [email protected] or you can wait for the podcast, and ask in-app (I think that term makes sense).

This issue of the Koopa Kast we talk about all things E3 2014. Get inside scoop from games on the show floor and a ton more.

This is our last Koopa Kast (before E3). Before we make our way to LA, let’s sit down to talk about Nintendo. This week, Matt is joined by James Higginbotham and Justin J-Money Hinton.

Here is what we plan to talk about: – What to expect at E3 this year? – What does Nintendo need to do at E3 to really wow the crowd? – A lot of news has come out about Hyrule Warriors as of late     – do the latest screens have anyone excited to purchase the game     – anyone hoping to see the limited-edition versions come over to the states? – NFC and Smash Bros. What do you think? Does this move make sense for the company? – NIntendo’s upcoming Youtube affiliate program.

Koopa Kast Episode 43

Koopa Kast Episode 42

Watch Dogs for the Wii U now has a definite release window, and we can breathe a little bit easier. Let’s talk about features we hope Ubisoft Montreal utilized for this edition.

In Mario Kart 8, we learned that there will be at least 30 different characters to choose from. Is there a limit to how many characters Nintendo should put in Mario Kart? What about Smash Bros?

Now, I know all of us have seen that Tomodachi Life trailer Nintendo tried to sneak by us right after the Smash Direct. Let’s talk a bit about that? Did you find it bizarre? Really bizarre? Was Iwata right to ask out Samus Aran right after Bill Trinen finally worked up the guts?

After that, we’ll take a look at any reader questions we may have gotten, and talk about what games we have been playing.
