Episode 902: The Japanese Tom Hardy – Radio Free Nintendo

This week, we’re diving deep into our 1-900-103-4RFN offers, with an extensive look at Death Wish 4 right from the get-go (00:00:26). Although it was supposed to be just an introduction, you know how RFN gets.

We start off with a segment designed to help newcomers get familiar with our voices and inform everyone if Jon is unexpectedly absent (which happens often). Then, it’s time for NEW BUSINESS! Greg kicks things off with a quick update on Mario & Luigi: Brothership and shifts the conversation to the latest NSO addition: Donkey Kong Land (00:13:38). James joins the chat, bringing his thoughtful perspective on the latest release of KUUKYOMI 4: Consider It (00:31:04). Discussing these games is challenging since they’re similar, yet continue to be wildly entertaining. Guillaume shares his final thoughts on Trials of Mana (00:39:54), confirming it’s a fantastic game and coincidentally, part of the Nintendo Black Friday sale. He’s less thrilled about the Amazon series Like a Dragon: Yakuza (00:45:43). Meanwhile, Jon’s back to Skyrim, once again (01:05:01). This time, he’s playing on PS5 and genuinely enjoying it. Jon and James also delve into strategies for buying eShop and Xbox Live vouchers—seems like it’s almost time to play.

After a brief intermission, we regroup to compile a shortlist of eight Nintendo DS games—two each—to guide our choice for The Nintendo DS 20th Anniversary Retroactive (01:15:27). Curious about our pick? Tune in to find out.

Keep the momentum going!

As for the behind-the-scenes credits, this episode was finely edited by Guillaume Veillette. The catchy “Men of Leisure” theme song was specially crafted for Radio Free Nintendo by Perry Burkum.
