123: Shooters Jul 24, 2015

Show notes

Vinnk was never really one for shooters. But that's before he played Splatoon.
Vinnk and Sean discuss the history of shooters, how Nintendo was able to put its own spin on a genre, and then make that previously uninteresting entire genre more appealing. (At least to Vinnk.) Oh, and Sean tries to convince Vinnk to play Mass Effect again, if shooters are his thing now.

122: Please Understand Jul 17, 2015

Show notes

Satoru Iwata, President and CEO of Nintendo Co. Ltd., died last Saturday at the age of 55. We recorded this mere hours after hearing the news, and it shows. Please understand.
Sean and Vinnk grapple with the news of Mr. Iwata's untimely passing, how he made Nintendo what it is today for good or for ill, and what this means for the company's future.

Denshimail 121: Stuff Vinnk Sent Me Jul 10, 2015

Show notes

After our Stuff Vinnk Sent Me video about showing off an A/V mod of a Famicom, we got a lot of feedback for why the quality isn't better, and renewed calls to try RGB mods. Also, despite that the Winter Dojo is over, we have a new spike in viewership, and a tremendous amount of new subscribers thanks to (inadvertently) the Angry Video Game Nerd and his review of the Famicom version of The Legend of Zelda.

121: Everything We Weren't Right About (E3 2015) Jul 03, 2015

Show notes

What do we do now? Every game since Duke Nukem Forever that we were sure would never come out is now coming out. Mother? Shenmue III? Final Fantasy VII Remake? The Last Guardian? Check, check, check, and check. Plus, if you want to play your Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One, Microsoft is going to start allowing that with 100 titles this fall.
Vinnk and Sean weren't right about anything predicted ahead of E3, and -- honestly -- we couldn't be happier. We talk about these games that were "never" going to come out, plus a whole lot more about what happened at this year's E3.

Denshimail 120: Text Adventures // Mother 3 // Time Paradoxes Jun 12, 2015

Show notes

We take your questions from our Facebook page, and find some surprisingly deep answers! Yeah, even for the kind of silly ones. Somehow. We just hope we don't change our minds later, and go back in time to undo it, blowing a hole in the universe the size of the Small Magellanic Cloud.

120: Don't Let it End Jun 05, 2015

Show notes

The Wii U was and continues to be a great system. Unfortunately, third parties don't seem to see it that way, and even more unfortunately that's backed by sales numbers. Console gaming in general is in a decline, but the Wii U's decline may already be underway. Not for lack of great titles, but in ovrall volume.
Sean and Vinnk talk about their favorite Nintendo system since the Super NES, and how it will all end. Sean wonders if he will ever game again, and Vinnk tries to bring him back onboard with Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.

Denshimail 119: The End of Winter Dojo May 29, 2015

Show notes

We answer questions asked during the 11 weeks of Winter Dojo 2015, track down some promising leads for new videos, talk about our behind-the-scenes experiences, and tease what's coming up later this year on our YouTube channel.

119: Konami Kollapse May 22, 2015

Show notes

It's a strange thing that's been happening at Konami, not least of which is the public, ugly divorce between the company and Hideo Kojima. But what is happening to them can happen to any AAA publisher -- and more specifically their development studios. What will the gaming landscape look like when the titans of the industry have perished, and will it be better for consumers?
Vinnk and Sean talk about what this means for digital-only gaming artifacts such as PT, bemoan the state of Hudson Soft, revel in the glory of Sega Saturn Bomberman, and review Broken Age Act 2 by Double Fine. Also, it's the last week of the Winter Dojo, so make sure you've watched all 11 videos! After you're done listening to the podcast, of course.

Denshimail 118: No Brand Con 2015 May 01, 2015

Show notes

Sean (in person) and Vinnk (via Skype) crash the ball pit of the No Mercy Room at No Brand Con to answer your burning questions, and meet up with old college friends. Maybe more of the latter.

118: Misakocast Apr 24, 2015

Show notes

Sean is gone this week, but Vinnk found someone even better to step in and talk video games: his wife!
Vinnk and Misako discuss her gamer past, and -- in a stunning reversal of what usually happens on Famicom Dojo -- Vinnk explains the Nintendo Entertainment System and North American gaming to someone who grew up only knowing the Famicom.
