Club Nintendo is shutting down! Only the New 3DS XL is coming to North America! Flipnote 3D took forever to come out to the West! Blame it all on Waluigi.

Come listen to us praise our favorite tiny cartridges of 2014! We also chat about a classic coming-of-age film, Italian school culture, and traumatic French class memories. Can you guess which one of us was the biggest troublemaker in high school?

Just a cute and super-short episode this time, mostly so JC and Eric could wish you all happy holidays. Please enjoy this story produced by SungWon Cho!

Fran and Christian are joined by noted JRPG fan, Kotaku's Jason Schreier, to discuss the Suikoden franchise -- notably the first two games in the series, the latter of which is a true classic and recently came to the PlayStation Vita in North America!

We have more memories and obscure games to talk about from the Nintendo DS! Christian and Fran also recount their Las Vegas trip, where they checked out the Game Awards and the PlayStation Experience event.

We celebrated the Nintendo DS's 10th anniversary by remembering obscure games the system enjoyed -- 45 minutes of this is pretty much just a stream of us naming oft-forgotten games. We also talked about Etrian Mystery Dungeon and why we love Shiren!

We get into a serious discussion about homebrew coming to the 3DS and its implications in this episode. Before going into our piracy fears, though, we talked about the new Etrian Odyssey games, Persona Q, and donuts.

Christian and Fran sat out this episode, but we brought in special guest Heidi Kemps from Gaming.moe to talk to us about Amiibos, Rodea: The Sky Soldier, Sega 3D Classics, Tales of Hearts R, and her work covering obscure games at her awesome site.

After we go through the latest Nintendo Direct's news -- Majora's Mask 3D, Code Name STEAM, Amiibos, and Atelier Rorona -- Christian and Fran share their impressions of Freedom Wars. We also discuss last week's Nintendo investors meeting.

After the group shares their impressions on Fantasy Life, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Pokemon Art Academy, and the new Shantae, Eric tries to coax some spooky stories out of the gang for Halloween.
