Episode 922: Monkey Mouthful Mode – Radio Free Nintendo
Will it be more horrifying to see the image I create or read the title I give it?
This week, Nintendo is “refreshing” the eShop and this attempt at professionalism cannot be allowed to stand (00:00:31)! Then James spends entirely too long talking about Xenoblade Chronicles X (00:07:26) before finally ceding the floor to Greg and Jon to do the same (00:48:11). Guillaume has wrapped up Final Fantasy V (01:10:21), and moved onto Playdate, the handheld with a crank (01:17:08)!
After the break, we have the necessary and unpleasant conversation about the tariff question (01:31:41). It’s a bit rambling, and despite James’ pledge that he “doesn’t want to get political” it does a bit. It’s unavoidable. It’s also stupid and irresponsible. The events, not the conversation. Unwilling to end the show on such a downer, we do take on a single Listener Mail question: condemning someone to life inside the Monkey Ball (02:17:07). You can sign-up for a prison of eternal motion sickness by sending us an email.
As of now, the plan is to do our RetroActive for Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap next week. I know it’s been a bit harried around here the last few weeks, so we’ve been under-advertising it. Get your comments in either via email or the NWR Discord.
