Famicom Dojo Video Game Podcast

Have you noticed that retro games cartridges are becoming more expensive, while digital versions on various platform are becoming more prolific? What makes a popular game go up in price, while rarer games end up in the trash? Vinnk and Sean try to figure out of it's supply or demand pushing retro prices higher, and what the value of our non-phyiscal collections will retain in the future -- especially those tied to specific consoles or accounts. Pile of Shame deals with this directly on the"Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

Everyone who survived 2016 is happy it's gone, gone, gone, so we look forward to the new year with predictions of what's to come (mostly for the Nintendo Switch) in this episode that was TOTALLY recorded in 2017! Sean and Vinnk make their best guesses at what the next 12 months will bring, once again in bingo card format, and review the criticism of Super Mario Run for iOS, as well as the game itself!

When Vinnk visited the US recently, he encouraged Sean to buy an Atari 2600... perhaps for less than altruistic reasons. Sean and Vinnk discuss the capabilities of the Atari 2600, how it stacks up to the third generation, and how it's possible that Sean could have gone so long without owning one. Future Retro continues the Atari love with the new Conjoined video game from Joe Grisaffi's comedy horror film of the same name, and Sean admits there's another Atari contemporary console that he's never really played...

The Nintendo NX is officially the Nintendo Switch! Will the console/handheld hybrid be revolutionary, or another good idea with poor execution? Vinnk and Sean delve into the hard news and speculation about what we still don't know about the Switch. Both manage to talk about different aspects of the same game in Pile of Shame. And both try, really try, to use their powers for good. "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

We're back after the Summer Dojo! Vinnk and Sean review Miitomo, and Future Retro is about a 3DS game you can't buy any more, and a Famicom game that you still can! Probably...

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! "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

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.

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. "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

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.

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.

Rhythm in video games has been around since before there was even the technical capabilities for decent music. The last decade saw a surge in this genre, followed by a precipitous crash. Sean and Vinnk talk about their respective introductions to the rhythm game genre, where it's lead them, and what they've been playing lately despite the digger the genre has since taken.
