158: Super NES and Super Famicom Online

10/25/19 • 48 min

Nintendo buried the lede in its latest Nintendo Direct with the announcement of its 16-bit offerings on the anniversary of its Nintendo Switch Online service. North America got Super NES, and the Japan eShop got Super Famicom.
Vinnk and Sean discuss how to download Famicom and Super Famicom Online (even if you don't have a Japanese Switch!), review Night Trap and Fire Emblem: The Three Houses in Future Retro, and share an announcement on future Famicom Dojo videos.

157: The First Import Game You Beat

When we asked our Patreon supporters what they wanted us to podcast about, the answer was pretty unilaterally a topic about our first import games we beat. So, for helping us meet our first Patreon goal, we have obliged!
Vinnk and Sean discuss their history with import gaming, the first games they beat and one which consoles, and debate what "import" actually means for Vinnk now that he lives in Japan. We continue with Future Retro and Pile of Shame, but also welcome back the Denshimail segment, where we took questions from the live chat, as well as our new "denshimail-questions" Discord topic!

159: Twenty-ish Years of Sega Dreamcast

Usually console anniversaries are celebrated events, but when the Dreamcast turned 20 years old it seemed like an afterthought -- assuming anyone thought about it at all. What happened?
Sean and Vinnk discuss their Dreamcast memories, and speculate why the 20th wasn't as big as the 10th or even the 15th. Vinnk's Future Retro is Grandia II, his favorite Dreamcast game. And Sean talks about playing lots of... chess??
