The Famicast

The rainy season has struck Japan, but the guys are staying dry and playing some cool games to boot. To kick off the show with New Business, the crew discuss Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Guilty Gear Strive’s latest update, Pictonico and more. After a quick break, it’s time for the JAPANews where boys talk about the latest Nintendo Music update, the next N64 Classic game coming to NSO and the upcoming Call of Duty, now with a legal obligation to appear on a Nintendo console. From there, it’s time for feedback before closing out the show.
