Hey Allies, With two Pikmins and one Metroid Prime remade in HD, it seems like Gamecube classics are making a comeback in style. So: if the trend continues, what Gamecube game would you like to see come next? L&R, levelcapybara

2023-06-21 23:22:52 +0000 UTCHello Allies! It's a bit late, but in honor of Metal Gear Delta's announcement, let's play a game! A Konami Quiz. Easy question first: What is the Konami Code? (using OG NES Contra for button reference) Answer: Up, up, down down, left, right, left, right, B, A (Start) Which game's "under-performing" sales had Konami remove the original series creator of Castlevania, Hitoshi Akamatsu, from a leadership position? Answer: Dracula's Curse What is the real name of Silent Hill 3's main protagonist? Answer: Cheryl Mason What Konami game did the name Meryl Silverburgh first appear? Answer: Policenauts What physical merchandise line passed the 1 trillion yen mark for Konami in 2021? (From when they first started selling it to that point, for clarity) Answer: The Yugioh Trading Card game, which had sold over 35 billion cards by that point. (this was over 20 years worth of sales data) Before SOTN, Koji Igarashi was well respected by the higher ups in the company for his work in a specific genre. Which genre of game did they want him to keep making games for because of this? Answer: Dating Sim (The game was Tokimeki Memorial) There are four main Business Segments (or divisions) that Konami has. Of the four, which brings in the least amount of revenue? The four are: Digital Entertainment, Amusements (Pachinko), Gaming & Systems (slot machines and the like for the overseas market) and Sports (Fitness Clubs) Answer: Amusements (Pachinko), which barely accounts for 6% of the company's total revenue (which has been a consistent number for the past three fiscal years). Gaming & Systems was last at 12%, Sports was at 14%, and Digital Entertainment was at roughly 67 percent (the numbers are rounded down for simplicity) Which Castlevania game needs to come to Switch more than any other? Answer: Symphony of the Night. Like, c'mon Konami.

2023-06-21 19:00:40 +0000 UTCHey Allies! Years ago I used to get Xbox magazine just for the demo disk that came with it. Xbox demo disk 30 and 22 had Breakdown and Otogi: Myth of demons which ended up being some of my all time favorites. Most recently Final Fantasy XVI blew me away with it’s demo and it got me thinking, what are your favorite demos? Did any really stick out and convert to you buying the game? What makes a good demo?

2023-06-21 14:46:23 +0000 UTCL&R Question: Do you have a favorite type of protagonist to play as in a video game? With silent protagonists falling out of fashion, and quips becoming an option to disable, I'm curious what playable characters you've enjoyed spending time as, and if there are any blind spots that you'd like to see more of.

2023-06-21 06:55:40 +0000 UTCHello Allies, I wanted to start off with saying that it was a great to meet everyone at the Mario Movie meetup and chatting with Blood about Meet Your Maker. Anyways, I am back with a game which I have brought before, and you all seemed to enjoy so I thought I would do it again. In honor of Fiasconauts, I have listed several Fiasconaut characters played by the Allies and friends, and you have to match the character to the person. Bonus points if you can identify the episode. Like before, Isla must answer last. P.S. Loved to see Fiasconauts brought back for the EZX milestone!!! Sam Ocean (Fiasco in the Federal Bureau of Control) – Huber Liz La Croix (Zombie Apocalypse at CostCo) - Jessica Mitch Cummings (Fiasco in Gangster London) - Huber Martin Soloman-Fitzsimmons (The Lodge) – Isla Kylie Jenner (Home Invasion Fiasco) - Jason Gomen Malfunct (Tournamnet Arc) – Damiani Jon Gater (King of the Ring) – Brad Snora (A T.O.S.S. Up On Tusk!) – Jessica Talk5loud54ysNothing (Translation: Talks Loud Says Nothing) (Fiasco on Flight 1180!) - Isla Sneakstrike (Superheroic Fiasco) - Jones

2023-06-20 09:27:18 +0000 UTCGreetings, Allies! Will 2023 be the most hotly contested game of the year debate ever? And will the Game Awards have the most at stake since its inception? I can think of at least seven games that could win GOTY in a different year. Love and respect from Denver

2023-06-20 05:19:09 +0000 UTCHi Blood, It's almost a year that Ben is out. I think you can read a letter on the podcast from an ally named Ben on the anniversary (June 30). It can be for patreons only if you think its may be not too appropriate but I think we the listeners deserve a letter from him. I'm writing this message early so you can prepare. I hope you're well.
