For us.

Download in MP3 Format

Writing a short article this week because we have a lot of stuff to get through!

This week we have a ton of New Business. James wrapped up Part 2 of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and is taking a break before digging back into another route with Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve. Jon, "The Platinum Man," has no idea how to spend his Platinum Points and "finds a way." Guillaume gives us an update on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 8-player local experience. He also has some more thoughts on Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Greg closes out New Business with Kururin Paradise, new to the NSO Expansion Pack.

After a break we tackle one email. It asks if Nintendo will move away from "Open World" design. This goes places, but most of those places are "our entire time budget for Listener Mail."

Hey, did we tell you about Episode 1000 this week? We did! It's in a few weeks: Saturday, November 14 at 10 PM UTC. The plans are almost done and I'll be posting them on Monday, so stay tuned.

I was going to do them today, but they're not done and I'm tired. Sue me.
