This week, we’re keeping things brief!
Greg’s diving into the Switch version of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (time stamp: 00:02:06). Meanwhile, James is venting his frustration with Nintendo for tossing more questionable titles like Super Ninja Boy onto Nintendo Switch Online (time stamp: 00:33:13). On a brighter note, Guillaume has triumphed over the classic, beating the first Final Fantasy in its Pixel Remaster form (time stamp: 00:58:13). He’s also revving up with Ridge Racer 64 (time stamp: 01:13:32) on NSO, and can’t seem to stay away from a few less-than-stellar arcade games (time stamp: 01:18:16).
After a quick break, we dive into Listener Mail: a debate between Tactics Ogre and Unicorn Overlord takes center stage (time stamp: 01:27:04). We also try our hand at guessing some more C-Words (time stamp: 01:44:43), and take a nostalgic trip down memory lane as we reminisce about Super Mario Bros. in the lead-up to its anniversary (time stamp: 01:49:03). Don’t be a stranger, drop me an email – it’s been too long.
This episode was skillfully edited by Guillaume Veillette. Our “Men of Leisure” theme, crafted just for Radio Free Nintendo, comes from the talented Perry Burkum. Check out more of his work on SoundCloud. The Radio Free Nintendo logo was designed by Connor Strickland, and you can explore more of his projects on his website.
Wrapping things up, the episode’s closing tune is “Star Wolf” from Star Fox: Assault, thoughtfully chosen by Greg. All rights to the song are reserved by Nintendo Co., Ltd.
