Last time on Nintendo

Free Radio, Western 3DSs still had one analog, Telltale was the only

company doing episodic adventure, and Persona 5 had no gameplay footage.

Thankfully, all of those things have changed. For New Business, Stephen played a game we don't have a clean joke for

in PSN flash sale victim Monster Monpiece,

then threw on Strike Suit Zero in an

attempt to cleanse himself. Donald went Western indie in more ways than one

with Gunman Clive 2 which marked the

last game he played on the 2DS, as the New 3DS arrived and there was much

rejoicing (as well as Codename STEAM

demo and brief Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

demo discussion). To wrap his segment, Donald gives good news about a good

Nintendo system's games being playable on Wii U as he grabbed the download of Super Mario Galaxy 2 and returned to the

sweet embrace of EAD Tokyo. Austen has been wasting his Wii U on a system that

clearly can't stack up, but has the very void-infused Vita platformer Nihilumbra, and the clearly moneyhatted

adventure game Life is Strange to fill in good game content.

After a round of Now

Posted on motorcycles (you have got to be ****ting me - Ed), a brief round

of Whatcha Watchin' ensues. You

won't like Stephen when he's angry, but you may like Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Austen has an update on Log Horizon and extended impressions of Thundercats (2011), while Donald shows

that when you need legal advice, you Better

Call Saul.

The Feature this

time 'round is a super-charged Lightning Round originally codenamed

"Twenty Minutes of Hell". Topics include PAX South, JRPG Week,

Nintendo's multimedia endeavors and somehow turning Marble Madness into a MOBA

(as Mark Cerny cries out in agony). The Mushrooms

include two sad farewells, a host pulling a Jeffersons and Nintendo's horrible precedents.

you would like a nice followup to the Wizard talk from Episode 50, the good Dr

Metts recently broke down the musical career of former child star Jenny Lewis

on Discover Music Project (http://www.crosstawk.com/newbusiness/2015/2/14/discover-music-project-episode-65.html) so plug in for an

hour and a half of great music discussion.
