Orange Lounge Radio

The much anticipated plan for Nintendo's online service has been announced this week, and we get into quite a debate at the top of our show about wether we think they have approached the classics correctly, or not.

However, why do we have so many surprises in the gaming industry anyway? We discuss with our LIVE listeners.

Some very classic games, Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X, are being re-released on cartridges soon. Does something like this appeal to our video game collector senses? Or is there just no beating the real thing, the classics? We discuss this interesting new trend in game collecting, and then dive into the weeks news which includes new books coming for Nintendo products. It's not the first time they've made books out of video games though as we take a trip down memory lane.

Also in the news:

* Video Game Hall of Fame Selections

Is Battle Royale fever taking over the industry? It sure looks like the next E3 might be full of Battle Royale modes in games, if the direction two big series are heading in is any indication. However, our hosts might be a whole lot happier with the Battle Royale trend if one internet meme were to turn out to actually be true. We discuss all this and more including the recent message put out by Bioware that does not sit well with our hosts. It's a rough but real start to another episode of Orange Lounge Radio!

 

Also in the news:

Then we get to the news, which includes the development of the stripping of Billy Mitchell's titles as record holder in Donkey Kong. What do we think of this situation and Billy's follow-up message?
