Mario Kart 64 was one of our earliest experiences in multiplayer gaming. It’s fast paced and sometimes frustratingly punishing, but mostly, it's just a lot of fun. In this episode, Jake and Cameron will take a kart drive down memory lane and discuss characters, race tracks, and our favorite experiences.

Hello and welcome to the very first episode of Region Unlocked! There's a lot of podcasts out there, especially about video games, but how many of them have one host in the states and the other in Japan?! Just us, (I hope)!

What you can expect: Cameron and Jake are separated by thousands of miles, but we stay connected by talking about the good ol days. The show begins with the N64, the birth of our nerd-stalgia. We have facts you didn't know, amazing stories to tell, and a lot of Jake's bad puns!

Like many starting podcasts, we are at our weakest here at the beginning as we try to overcome our growing pains. Audio isn't the best until Cameron gets a new mic by episode 3 and Jake at episode 8. Please bear with us as we continue to improve and become highly successful!

Do you want to send us some constructive feedback or give us a good idea? Well, you can! Email us at [email protected]!

Hello friends, we are Cameron and Jake, and welcome to Region Unlocked! This podcast was started back in December of 2019 when Jake moved to Japan! We thought this would be a great way to stay connected every week while being so far apart!

As we grew up together, video games were probably the biggest thing we had in common, so it has been really fun to look back at the beginning and bond all over again with the games we so love!

This intro was recorded in June of 2021. We are very proud of what we've made here, but we will say that season one is a little rough. But we've learned a lot and continue to get better. We hope you enjoy!
