Friend Code: FIFA 18 Sales Debacle and SNES Classic Launch

Can someone provide some clarity on that Chrono Trigger DS legal debacle? All of my searches are just turning up news articles about S-E threatening legal action against fan projects so I can't find any details on what Damiani was talking about.

Great episode! Damiani is doing a great job hosting this show, makes it such a fun podcast to listen to....and he totally stole that Zelda game ;)

Damiani ConsoleGate: Did he steal it?

I'm still waiting on my Amazon pre-order with no new updates or any new information, I'm pretty disappointed about it.

Can we retroactively ground Damiani for being a thief? :p

Thanks for the callout, Damiani! For the record, I was (and still am!) pro-Wind Waker! :)

My question turned out pretty well, haha! Awesome episode!

Indie games are fantastic on the switch. I play on PS4, PC and Switch and if a game is on the Switch I will get it on that. SteamWorld Dig 2, Stardew Valley, Binding of Isaac, all amazing to just take on the go. All the games on the Switch please.

Great episode, Damiani! Your discussion about Amazon vs. Best Buy in regards to better value on purchasing games was very passionate and I loved it! I must say, I've been a Prime member for a long time and I definitely agree with you guys about Gamers Club Unlocked being a better deal for buying video games. I used to have it during my lapse of not having Prime. But I started going back to school, so I signed up for Amazon Student for $49, which I think is a great deal for me. It's pretty much the same benefits as the $99 Prime membership, so that's great. Plus, I get a free Twitch subscription every month and that goes exclusively to you guys every month because you're the only streamers I watch when I do have the time to do so. All in all, if I did not have Prime Student I would totally be all over GCU because like you all said, Amazon's service has definitely diminished in quality over the years. But for now it will have to do for me. -Noel (No-el)

Man, I really freakin' love this podcast.

i find it funny that Kyle would like some more discovery on the SNES Classic, yet every time they mention Kirby's Dreamcourse, they do it just to say they'd dump it. At least try the damn thing! It's one of my favourite SNES games, and I was quite happy to see it on there, even though I'm never going to get a SNES Classic

The Pikablu craze was the best.

Shades of Omar's SNES with Damiani... ;) ( <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp9UqcfYZHM&amp;t=19m25s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp9UqcfYZHM&amp;t=19m25s</a> )

EDIT: I commented earlier, but it looks like a link to a picture might have marked my comment as spam, so I'm going to try to retype that comment from memory. Apologies if I'm wrong and the original comment shows up again. ~~~~~ Thanks for the great episode, and talk about a small world! I'm actually the kid in the cardboard Gameboy sled picture! I have some more pictures, but it looks like when I tried to link one last time it marked the comment as spam. The funny thing is, the only reason I decided on a Gameboy sled at the time was because my dad didn't want to work on a sled that involved any painting. Since he found some cheap brown duct tape around the same time, and the original Gameboy was more or less rectangular and tan, he figured it would be super easy to make (the buttons are either regular duct tape or permanent marker). That said, I didn't win any awards at the competition... lol But at least the sled actually went down the slope and stayed in one piece! After the derby we cut handles into the inside of the sled and turned it into a giant walking Gameboy costume. The thing is currently being stored in my parents' basement in Pennsylvania (no way it was coming with me, as I currently live in Tokyo). Almost every year I have to convince my dad not to throw it out because it takes so much space and is completely useless. Earlier today I sent him a link to this episode marked at the point when you guys talk about it. No explanation or anything, just the video. I got this response: "I guess I need to keep the sled. Haha" Thanks again, guys! L&amp;R

Excellent episode !! Much L&amp;R from France :)

That Amazon hate had me laughing, I feel the exact same way about them right now. I got the GCU and wont be looking back. For alot of games you can get them for not only the 20% off, but you also get $10 credit. Besides Amazon not wanting to compete, Ni No Kuni 2 CE getting the discount is probably what made me jump ship $40 off is awesome. I think Amazon has been taking notice that digital has surpassed physical, and the appeal of the offer is not really there.
