NEP 032: E3 Wishlists, Pokemon Sword Shield Direct Discussion Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

Hello my beautiful Sobbles, Grookeys and Scorbunnies! More bonus time on NEP with another double length episode!

E3 got us lit up and we can't help but BS about the recent game leaks and announcements all over the place. Particularly, we dive real deep on the Pokemon Sword and Shield details we got from the Direct. The tea is particularly good this week.

Following that, we have a fun chat about E3 wishlists, both realistic and idealistic, and then answer some awesome listener mail we got this week. You all really pulled through on this one!

To celebrate E3, we're doing double content all month long! We hope you're enjoying! The best way to support our show is to recommend the podcast to others, and rate us 5 stars on iTunes!

Thank you so much for listening!

NEP 031: Pokemon Special Feature, No Friends In Mario Maker Jun 02, 2019

Show notes

Hello my HMs & TMs! It's bonus time on NEP- you get a double length episode! Oni and Galen kick things off by discussing Nights of Azure 2 on Switch, Smash Ultimate's Labo VR update and the weird amiibo implementation along with it. The gang then covers more details on Super Mario Maker 2 including the bizarre lack of playing with friends online, the Nintendo Switch Online Vouchers for discount digital games, and how Nintendo games in general hold their value. Oni and Galen then go through all the awesome announcements from the Pokemon Press Conference this week, and muse on the potential of Pokemon Home, in particular. By this time, Oni starts to become weak with hunger and all reasoning goes out the window… Check below the break for more details!

We hope you enjoy the extra content this week! We'd greatly appreciate if you could recommend the podcast to a friend, and also rate us 5 stars on iTunes! It helps us to get discovered, which is the best way you can support us.

Thank you for listening!

Timestamps:

09:48 – Adventure Log: Dragon's Dogma end game, Nights of Azure 2: Boobies of the New Moon and Smash Ultimate's VR update and horrible amiibo fights where your amibo are your children. Nintendo won't fool us into buying amiibo!
33:13 – Super Mario Maker 2 won't let you play with friends online- only random players. Galen and Oni offer solutions to Nintendo's problem, and suggestions for fans to take action! Also accidental discussion of omega labyrinth life and social issues in Japanese culture and real life. Also general discussion of more fleshed out features we learned recently, such as no amiibo support. Nintendo Online Voucher discussion, too. Backwards way of doing things? Y/N? Oni and Galen are also curious if this kind of deal is worth it in your country with the way sales and pricing work. Write in to our email below and let us know. General discussion of how Nintendo games hold their value and don't go on sale often.
1:02:12 – Cadence of Hyrule releasing in June. E3 shadowdrop? Also, Harvest Moon Mad Dash announced for Switch. Oni going hands-on at E3.
1:04:37 – Pokemon Press Conference! It was actually really exciting. Let's talk the potential of what they announced: Pokemon full force into China, full force into films, Pokemon Center Tokyo in Shibuya. Galen and Oni reveal they're going to Tokyo later this fall. Stay tuned for antics. Pokemon Home has us very excited for different reasons, and Pokemon Sleep is smart marketing. And Pokemon Shirts, for the working pikachus.
1:42:50 – Additional DLC and movie talk. Cinema-going experience is awful.
1:49:54 – Listener Mail: phrases we live by.

Additional DLC:

"Epic History X-Men" by ComicBookGirl19 https://bit.ly/2WfizpU

NEP 029: Mario Maker Direct and Shadows of Adam (feat. Something Classic) May 19, 2019

Show notes

Hello, my angry suns! In this episode of NEP, we've got two special guests joining Oni and Galen: Tim and Tyler from Something Classic Games with the occasional woof from Tyler's dog, Jackson. Something Classic recently debuted their stylish, modern take on SNES-era JRPGs, "Shadows of Adam", on Nintendo Switch!

Join the four of us as we talk all about our reactions to the Super Mario Maker 2 direct and what we think of the unannounced new game style(s), too! We start things off with a casual interview of sorts where Tim and Tyler fill us in on their history in the games and music industries, tales of development, inspiring stories, RPG Maker back in the day, the roots of Shadows of Adam, and what transformations took place over the years. We also end up just chatting about general gaming habits, Pokemon GO, houses full of musicians, cats and dogs, memes...

If you're a fan of classic SNES JRPGs, you don't want to miss out on this episode and you definitely don't want to miss out on Shadows of Adam. So, come have a chill time with us and get to know two of the devs from Something Classic Games.

NEP 027: Sonic Pre-Alpha, Epic Sells Your Info To China! May 05, 2019

Show notes

What's up, hedgehogs and werehogs! That's right, it's time to talk about Sonic... but first we kick things off with info on our giveaway for Hob: The Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch!

In this episode of NEP, we dish out our opinions on the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, and the director's response that it's going to be fixed in such a short amount of time. This leads us to talk about industry crunch, along with CG artists' and 3D animators' responses to this situation. We then talk all the weekly news, including Forza Street, Bloodstained and more. We finish things off with talking about Epic Games purchasing Psyonix, creators of Rocket League, and general discussions of the Epic Store and what the controversy is there. Oni learned something, so we hope you do, too! Galen then has an existential crisis for good measure as we go over our listener mail!

Suda51 hosting another panel at Momocon, teases an announcement. A new game getting a remaster? Speculate! Oni accidentally gets existential. Bloodstained coming to Switch on June 25th! Oni loves the trailer's humor and Galen hasn't properly prepared for the podcast. Also, why's it coming one week later to the Switch? So strange.

NEP 025: Switch Mini, Unsavory Smash Stages & China Apr 21, 2019

Show notes

Hello, Team Hare and Team Tortoise! This week on NEP, Galen kicks the show off with his EXCELLENT Banjo Kazooie impression. That sets the mood for the laughing/crying fit we have right after as we joke about how depressing Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon gets in the late game, including some high-level Final Fantasy lore jokes. We then take a deep dive into Smash 3.0 where Galen gives some thorough impressions and we discuss all of the custom stages Nintendo's cracking down on; Galen tells his horror story. Afterward, we have some chill Marvel talk because we just got a street date for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3! Then we get serious as we talk rumors from Nikkei about a Switch Mini releasing this autumn, and Oni talks the importance of accurate translations so as not to spread misinformation. And we tidy things up by discussing the growing likelihood of Switch releasing in mainland China, who Tencent is, and international business culture.
