We're back after the Summer Dojo!

137: March to 2017 Jun 03, 2016

Show notes

There will be no Nintendo NX at E3 2016, but they will be showing up the new Zelda Wii U game. Which will now also be an NX game.
Sean and Vinnk wonder what this means for the release of the next installment of the Zelda series, if the full NX system will launch in March, or just one component of the rumored handheld/console hybrid. Also, more Zelda in Pile of Shame, and a decidedly non-Zelda game is Vinnk's Future Retro!

136: PS4K May 13, 2016

Show notes

Could consoles ever be like smart phones? Smart phones cost more, but are subsidized, and people use them all day every day. Could that work for dedicated gaming hardware?
Sean and Vinnk explore the possibilities that a 4K iteration of the PS4 could offer, and respond to rumors about the Xbox One following suit. Vinnk shares a Future Retro on the Famicom with a framerate better than a PS4 running at full HD resolution, and Sean laments the number of games languishing on his PS4 hard drive.

135: Fanservice (with Satoshi Matrix) Apr 15, 2016

Show notes

Aside from the obvious genre implications, there are all kinds of references and in-jokes that developers make tweak the noses of their customers, and get them fired up for their games.
Vinnk and Sean invite Satoshi Matrix to talk about fanservice (both kinds), and some of the most fanservce-y Future Retro (again, both kinds) we can think of. And somehow Vinnk combines Future Retro and Pile of Shame.

134: Rumors Apr 01, 2016

Show notes

With not one but two Nintendo NX hoaxes just before April Fools' Day, several Nintendo hoaxes of years past come to mind.
Sean and Vinnk reminisce about tricks played on the video game community, popular rumors, common misconceptions, and a few wild stories that actually (and/or eventually) turned out to be true.

133: Never Complete (with Joe Grisaffi) Mar 11, 2016

Show notes

Forty years after Atari helped rocket home video gaming into the stratosphere (and nearly 35 years after they helped to almost completely crater it), hobbyists have banded together across the globe to solve the niggling quality problems that plagued the original developers, making games so good that perhaps the video game crash may never have happened.
Vinnk and Sean welcome Call of Doodie director Joe Grisaffi to talk about his homebrew Atari games based (loosely?) on several of his films, and why completionists can never truly have everything.
