Nindies Showcase Summer 2017 - Friend Code
Added 2017-09-12 16:07:13 +0000 UTCBosman and Brad join Damiani to dissect the numerous indie game announcements from the recent Nindies Showcase Summer 2017 presentation, get the fact straight about Travis Strikes Again, the No More Heroes spin-off that isn't a spin-off but also isn't No More Heroes 3, share their thoughts in a post-mortem of Mario + Rabbids, and debate whether achievements coming to Switch is a good idea or not.
Note: Apologies, but we completely skip over Kentucky Route Zero TV Edition. This was my fault as I jumped over it in my notes by accident, hence we don't discuss it in the episode.

Sad that there's not much love for the Wii U :( I'll just say that I think it's great and that the gamepad is one of the comfiest controllers to hold. Also there's a lot of personality in its interfaces that I fear Nintendo won't carry on with the Switch. I know many prefer Switch's snappiness, but I'll miss WaraWara Plaza and small touches like the eShop roulette. I can only pray that the Switch's eShop will eventually have music! >_< Hopefully given some time the Wii U will find a fond place in gaming history (like being the launching pad for Amiibo maybe?)
2017-09-16 01:48:26 +0000 UTCThere was a lot of third party support. Only EA and Squaresoft weren't on board. The are multiple of reasons why the Dreamcast failed. One of them being Sega low on money after 3 failed projects in a row (CDI, Saturn, 32X). Also piracy and the launch of the PS2 didn't help. The final blow must have been the Xbox, a 4th player in a competition Sega was losing. A player with a unlimited amount of money.
2017-09-14 07:40:21 +0000 UTCYou're asking for a move from Nintendo to make Shovel Knight special : There's already a Shovel Knight amiibo !

2017-09-13 13:00:12 +0000 UTCMy feelings on achievements can be summed up with what you get if you waste your time finding all 900 korok seeds in Breath if the Wild: a big piece of poo.
2017-09-13 10:39:22 +0000 UTCTwo days ago I finished Rabbids 100% and I gotta say that it was one of my favourite experiences of the year. If Breath of the Wild wasn't this year, if Mario and Xenoblade weren't coming this might be game of the year for me. Luigi, I think wasn't OP, mainly because his low health became a liability in matches that lasted for 2-3 rounds. My final boss team ended being Yoshi/Mario/Rabbid Luigi.
2017-09-13 10:31:36 +0000 UTC3D World is a real mainline Mario game. I have my qualms with the game too, but it's silly to pretend it isn't. It's not a reskin like Super Mario Bros. 2. It's not completely different gameplay focused on another character like Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It's not a handheld game. It's not New Super series filler.

2017-09-13 02:59:32 +0000 UTCDue to scheduling conflicts last week, we had to shoot Friend Code Sunday evening. It was also the longest episode yet. Sorry, it went up as fast as I could get it up, I'm still a beginner at editing and it takes me much longer than Jones/Ian/Don to cut stuff. We'll do our best to make sure this doesn't happen again though.

2017-09-13 00:15:06 +0000 UTCyou guys do know why the Dreamcast failed right ? Dreamcast failed because it came waaaaayy to soon after the Saturn, 3th party was pissed, because they just learned Saturn, alot of Dev's where still working on Saturn games, so they said, F-you Sega

2017-09-12 20:17:13 +0000 UTCWel..., Kyle clearly does not read all corrections for the podcast. I pointed out to Kyle which fonts both logos are, and thus, they are not the same..... that hurts my feelings man !
