60: This Famicom Life Podcast
September 11, 2015 07:00Originally Broadcast 2012/08/31: It's topical for today's anniversary. Promise. Rerun 2014/07/11: Since episode 100 will follow this format, we're re-running our original This Famicom Life podcast. This week we bring you a story about video games in four acts: ACT 1: Pachinko ACT 2: A look back on the GameCube launch, and being in Japan during September 11, 2001. ACT 3: The full Japanese version of the Imari Tones song RPG ACT 4: Vending Machines Vinnk goes it alone this week, in a tr...
125: Play Old Games
August 21, 2015 06:00 - 34.2 MBWe really can't say this enough or more clearly: play old games. Don't be discouraged because they might look funny, or require text inputs, or don't have voice acting. Play old games. There's an artistry to old games. Which isn't to say modern games aren't art, because clearly that's nonsense, but there is something to be appreciated in a title that made the most of the technology available. Except maybe N64 games. Those haven't aged well. Vinnk and Sean rail against the idea that ol...
Denshimail 124: Smells Like the Nineties
August 14, 2015 06:00 - 18.4 MBDid you know that we're old? You will after we answer these questions about our favorite anime. But we also talk about our latest video previewing the Kunio-kun series.

124: Retro VGS
August 07, 2015 06:00 - 41.6 MBWhat if a video game system didn't need to connect to the internet for constant software and firmware updates? What if there was no hard drive, and the games were on cartridges? That might sound like a blast from the past, but it's what the aptly-named Retro VGS promises for the future. Sean and Vinnk welcome Mike Kennedy to talk about the Retro's evolution from a throwback 16-bit system to an infinitely configurable all-in-one platform for modern and vintage gaming. "Famicom Thrash" an...
Denshimail 123: Eight Years of Famicom Dojo
July 31, 2015 06:00 - 31.7 MBHas it already been eight years? Doesn't feel like a day past five! We answer your questions from Twitter and Facebook about the Famicom Modem, virtual reality, the e-Reader, and more! Vinnk and SeanOrange pixel art by Louis Lloyd-Judson: https://louistrations.co.uk.

123: Shooters
July 24, 2015 06:00 - 29.1 MBVinnk was never really one for shooters. But that's before he played Splatoon. Vinnk and Sean discuss the history of shooters, how Nintendo was able to put its own spin on a genre, and then make that previously uninteresting entire genre more appealing. (At least to Vinnk.) Oh, and Sean tries to convince Vinnk to play Mass Effect again, if shooters are his thing now. "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

122: Please Understand
July 17, 2015 06:00 - 17.7 MBSatoru Iwata, President and CEO of Nintendo Co. Ltd., died last Saturday at the age of 55. We recorded this mere hours after hearing the news, and it shows. Please understand. Sean and Vinnk grapple with the news of Mr. Iwata's untimely passing, how he made Nintendo what it is today for good or for ill, and what this means for the company's future.

Denshimail 121: Stuff Vinnk Sent Me
July 10, 2015 06:00 - 15.2 MBAfter our Stuff Vinnk Sent Me video about showing off an A/V mod of a Famicom, we got a lot of feedback for why the quality isn't better, and renewed calls to try RGB mods. Also, despite that the Winter Dojo is over, we have a new spike in viewership, and a tremendous amount of new subscribers thanks to (inadvertently) the Angry Video Game Nerd and his review of the Famicom version of The Legend of Zelda.

121: Everything We Weren't Right About (E3 2015)
July 03, 2015 06:00 - 39.8 MBWhat do we do now? Every game since Duke Nukem Forever that we were sure would never come out is now coming out. Mother? Shenmue III? Final Fantasy VII Remake? The Last Guardian? Check, check, check, and check. Plus, if you want to play your Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One, Microsoft is going to start allowing that with 100 titles this fall. Vinnk and Sean weren't right about anything predicted ahead of E3, and -- honestly -- we couldn't be happier. We talk about these games that we...
Denshimail 120: Text Adventures // Mother 3 // Time Paradoxes
June 12, 2015 06:00 - 24.8 MBWe take your questions from our Facebook page, and find some surprisingly deep answers! Yeah, even for the kind of silly ones. Somehow. We just hope we don't change our minds later, and go back in time to undo it, blowing a hole in the universe the size of the Small Magellanic Cloud.

120: Don't Let it End
June 05, 2015 06:00 - 32.4 MBThe Wii U was and continues to be a great system. Unfortunately, third parties don't seem to see it that way, and even more unfortunately that's backed by sales numbers. Console gaming in general is in a decline, but the Wii U's decline may already be underway. Not for lack of great titles, but in ovrall volume. Sean and Vinnk talk about their favorite Nintendo system since the Super NES, and how it will all end. Sean wonders if he will ever game again, and Vinnk tries to bring him back...
Denshimail 119: The End of Winter Dojo
May 29, 2015 06:00 - 24.6 MBWe answer questions asked during the 11 weeks of Winter Dojo 2015, track down some promising leads for new videos, talk about our behind-the-scenes experiences, and tease what's coming up later this year on our YouTube channel.

119: Konami Kollapse
May 22, 2015 06:00 - 34.1 MBIt's a strange thing that's been happening at Konami, not least of which is the public, ugly divorce between the company and Hideo Kojima. But what is happening to them can happen to any AAA publisher -- and more specifically their development studios. What will the gaming landscape look like when the titans of the industry have perished, and will it be better for consumers? Vinnk and Sean talk about what this means for digital-only gaming artifacts such as PT, bemoan the state of Hudson ...

May 15, 2015 07:00Now that Sean has revealed his massive pile of PC Engine shame, Vinnk rattles off his favorite games that Sean (and everyone) should get.

May 01, 2015 06:00 - 10.4 MBSean (in person) and Vinnk (via Skype) crash the ball pit of the No Mercy Room at No Brand Con to answer your burning questions, and meet up with old college friends.

118: Misakocast
April 24, 2015 06:00 - 22.3 MBSean is gone this week, but Vinnk found someone even better to step in and talk video games: his wife! Vinnk and Misako discuss her gamer past, and -- in a stunning reversal of what usually happens on Famicom Dojo -- Vinnk explains the Nintendo Entertainment System and North American gaming to someone who grew up only knowing the Famicom.

117: Game Boy is Awesome
April 10, 2015 06:00 - 27.8 MBIt may be difficult to explain, because Game Boy wasn't the best from a technical standpoint, and not all of the games were the best, but somehow the Game Boy was just the best. Sean and Vinnk fondly remember 25 years of handheld gaming with Nintendo's little gray dot matrix box that could. For Future Retro Vinnk shares his stories of Quarth, and Sean jumps to the iOS ship to talk about Framed. "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net.

116: Nintendo NeXt
March 27, 2015 06:00 - 25.9 MBNintendo announced a historic deal with Japanese mobile developer DeNA to create a new device-agnostic ecosystem for its unified account system, an ecosystem that will now also include mobile games. Nintendoes what Sega also does, and is going to develop new software on third party hardware for the first time since Atari. Oh, and then there's something about a new Nintendo NX console too. Vinnk and Sean wonder if this move is savvy or desperate, meant to appease stockholders, or if they p...
Denshimail 115: Gaming Holy Grail // User Engagement // Media Entropy
March 20, 2015 06:00 - 15.7 MBSean and Vinnk share their holy grails of gaming, why retro consoles and their media have been skyrocketing in price (related to the first topic), and have... a proposal for you.

115: Sega is Dead, Long Live Sega
March 13, 2015 06:00 - 23.7 MBSega will go where no Nintendo has gone before, and only release games on mobile from now on. How is it possible a once-great power in the gaming industry has fallen so far (without being responsible for its near-totall collapse, that is)? Sean and Vinnk lament the passing of this once-great developer, Vinnk discovers a Super Famicom game he'd never heard of before made by HAL, and Sean... well, there's a lot to be said for digital downloads instead of insisting on physical media. "Famic...
Denshimail 114: Konami Code // Winter Dojo // Picross

114: The PC Engine That Could
February 27, 2015 07:00 - 28.9 MBThe PC Engine was big in Japan, but not so big in the US as the TurboGrafx-16. In the years since the demise of Hudson Soft, the love for one of the smallest consoles on the market is still going strong. Why didn't it get tracking abroad, and why do people love it now? Vinnk and Sean opine about the most overlooked console of the 16-bit generation, and go through Sean's massive Pile of PC Engine Shame on both HuCards and CD-ROMs. Vinnk reveals he still hasn't really used one of his Chris...

February 20, 2015 07:00 - 28.2 MBFor our first new Denshimail installment, we answer questions about whether AV modding an original Famicom is sacrilege, what we've been doing since we last released regular videos in 2013, and we chat about the history of Vinnk-Con and its latest installment for 2015!

113: We Just Want Nice Things
February 13, 2015 07:00 - 30.4 MBGameCube Adapters and Amiibo are still sold out everywhere. Club Nintendo in North America, whose physical rewards never equaled those of other territories, is about to shut down worldwide. The New 3DS is finally coming to North America, but XL only -- and without a charger -- and region locking keeps alternative inaccessible. If you don't get your 3DS or games new, they're probably out of print (but you can still download them from the eShop). Please tell us, Nintendo of America: why ca...

112: The Osborne Effect (Live at DaishoCon 2014)
November 29, 2014 07:00 - 18.6 MBThere are problems with announcing new hardware that's not available everywhere, such as the New 3DS coming out in Japan but not the US, including features that the regular 3DS does not have, yet Nintendo claims that because the North American market hasn't peaked yet with the old hardware that it will hold off releasing it. Instead, we're getting a line of special 3DS designs (never minding that a feature of the New 3DS is removable faceplates). Vinnk and Sean (well, mostly just Sean) hea...
Powetcast 155: Powet Reunion 2014
November 21, 2014 07:00No, you're not going crazy. This is still the Famicom Dojo Podcast feed, but we wanted to share this one-off Powetcast reunion. (Although, warning: this episode is explicit.) Sean gathers (most of) the old Powet.TV crew to discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the next-gen video game systems we're playing, 30 years of Transformers, 50 years of Doctor Who, and which comics are still worth reading. Details about the podcast, links to related articles, and supplemental audio/video are avail...
111: First World Problems
November 14, 2014 07:00 - 32.9 MBProblems with video games are already something of a first-world issue, but some of the specifics can be so much worse. Which controller to get for Smash Bros. Wii U? GameCube or a GameCube-like HORI pad? Buy a PS4 on Black Friday, or do it some other time so we don't feel icky? How are we supposed to organize our video game collections when the labels don't wrap all the way around? Sean and Vinnk assert their privilege this week. We move yet another game from Pile of Shame to Future R...
110: RETRO Magazine
November 04, 2014 07:00 - 30.9 MBMagazines have themselves become a retro medium, but what if someone could use that to their advantage in a dying industry? Double-win if you can tie it to retro video games. That's exactly what we have with our guests this week! Vinnk and Sean welcome co-founders Mike Kennedy and Mark Kaminski of Retro Magazine to talk about their Year 2 Kickstarter, and their favorite retro games. They also stick around for Future Retro and Pile of Shame to share some really interesting games we (or at ...
109: The Horror
October 31, 2014 06:00 - 43.4 MBWhat are your favorite scary games? How about just ones that remind you of Halloween, or are about traditional "scary" critters, but are just too darn cute to be scary themselves? Or, depending on what actually scares you, extreme isolation? Sean and Vinnk invite Sindra and David back to the podcast for this special Halloween episode! And we may or may not discuss the P.T. Silent Hills demo... JUMP SCARE!! "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: http://imaritones.net...
108: 10 Minutes About Your Favorite Video Game
October 17, 2014 06:00 - 30.9 MBRob Matsushita is a Madison, WI based filmmaker and playright. More importantly for our purposes he is also host of the 10 Minutes About Your Favorite Movie podcast on the Little Podcast Network. We're big fans of his show, and thought that the best way to get Dojo Disciples to become fans to is to show him how awesome it is through the lens of video games. Fortunately, Rob plays them too. Vinnk, Sean, and Rob give each other their top five favorite games, and chose one to talk about for...
107: Shelf Life
October 10, 2014 06:00 - 31.5 MBSome of our favorite Famicom and NES games are nearing the end of their respective lifespans. Famicom Disk System games degrade, no matter how well you take care of them. Cartridge games with battery backups will eventually lose power, along with your data, and never be able to save again. Even the batteries that help consoles like the PS2 and Dreamcase keep time are fizzling out. Is there anything we can do to stop it. Sean and Vinnk ponder the move to digital media as a way to preserv...
106: Denshimailbag
October 03, 2014 06:00 - 32.9 MBWay back when we ended Season 1 of the video series, we announced our new Denshimail segment. While we've answered many of your questions in video forms, we've only been getting more and more of them in the years since. While we'd love to answer many of the in video format, we have a lot of catching up to do! Vinnk and Sean answer a backlog of voicemails, and a selection of listener and viewer questions asked on Facebook, YouTube, and our email. We'll also try to answer one question per ...
105: Tokyo Game Show 2014
September 26, 2014 06:00 - 28.2 MBWe haven't been to Tokyo Game Show in person, but that doesn't mean we haven't been to Tokyo Game Show! Famicom Dojo has had an official presence covering the show in 2013 and 2014. This year we got Mr. Presence on the show to discuss what he saw on the floor this year. Sean and Vinnk welcome David to the podcast for the first time to talk about how the console market is going, bemoan Square-Enix's risk-averse library, and the difficulty of coming down with Sonic Boom. "Famicom Thrash" and...
104: Den of Shame
September 19, 2014 06:00 - 31.7 MBIs it wonderful or worrying that two grown men need a place to store all of their stuff from a childhood that in some ways never ended? Or is doing a podcast and video series about classic video games excuse enough? Vinnk and Sean have both moved into new houses, and new places to keep all of their cool stuff. Sean rediscovers Punch Out for Wii in Future Retro, and Vinnk tells the harrowing tale of his missing Retron 5 in Pile of Shame. "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari...
103: 3DS The Third
September 12, 2014 06:00It's a bit later than expected, but the 3DS has finally gotten the second stick (well, a nub really), and enough buttons to make it nearly feature complete with a Wii U GamePad. A herald of things to come for Nintendo, or sheer coincidence? Sean and Vinnk wonder if this is the next logical step for the 3DS, or merely a placeholder for what's really coming next. Vinnks Zonks out with Future Retro, and Sean tries out a Nintendo classic finally coming to the US on 3DS Virtual Console. Vinnk ...
102: Play It Again, Samus
September 05, 2014 06:00 - 25.5 MBAfter the y cant metroid crawl meme sprang into being upon the release of Super Metroid on the Wii U Virtual Console, Sean recorded a bunch of footage performing tricks in the game, but it's been over a year and we haven't made it into a proper video yet. Sean put out the raw footage on another YouTube channel at the same time Phil was working through the GBA Metroid games. So we decided to talk to Phil about his experience playing through (quote-unquote) old 2D Metroid again! Sean and Phil...
101: Take Your Knight and Shovel It
August 29, 2014 06:00 - 33.3 MBShovel Knight is more than a retro-styled game made to make you wistful of a bygone era -- it makes you wish that era had never ended, and gives a glimpse of what it may have been like if it hadn't. From emulating an actual Famicom sound chip to sticking almost entirely within the capabilities of the NES hardware, Shovel Knight is nothing less than a work of art. It's also pretty fun to play! And it learns lessons from the last three decades that its proper 8-bit brethren never had time t...
100: Growing Up Gamer
August 15, 2014 06:00 - 35.8 MBWhen we were kids, someone introduced each of us to the world of video games. Maybe it was a parent, or a friend who had the latest and greatest. Or maybe that love developed in arcades and translated into the home. This week, we revisit the formative years that made us gamers. And we have other stories that listeners like you sent in to celebrate our 100th episode. Sean and Vinnk interview their families, play user submissions, and give their own individual stories about what it meant ...
Vinnk to the Past: Mario and Me
July 25, 2014 07:00Vinnk's very first podcast segment for 4cr fits in nicely with the theme of our 100th episode "Growing Up Gamer", and with one of the stories very specificallly. We only included all-new material in that episode, but we thought that we'd add this one as an audio bonus because of how well it rounds out our stories. (This story was originally released on the 4 Color Rebellion Podcast under Vinnk's "Rebel in Japan" segment, and subsequently became an audio bonus for Episode 100 of this podcast...
Audio Bonus 99: Pile of More Shameful
July 04, 2014 07:00We edit stuff out of the podcast for a variety of resons, but when we edit for time despite how interesting the content is, it always hurts. But that's precisely why we have audio bonuses! Once again breaking the rule that these are only available through the website, we've added this sixteen minute supplemental to Episode 99: PapaCast and Ferb. Some of it would have stayed on the cutting room floor, but the rest we wish we could have kept. Now you get all of it in its Pile of Shameful gl...
99: PapaCast and Ferb
June 27, 2014 06:00 - 29.4 MBThe thing about being a gainfully-employed adult and parent is that time becomes your most precious commodity. So any time you use for games can only be used on the good ones -- if you can figure out which ones those are. Vinnk and Sean reveal how they balance their real lives with gaming life, how the Wii U is great for that, and get all excited over Future Retro that's really just a quasi-remake of a 20 year old game.

98: Nintendo Wins E3 (2014)
June 18, 2014 06:00 - 38 MBIt's amazing how things looked a year ago, with Nintendo all but left for dead by the gaming press. Now, with a much-needed lift by Mario Kart 8 and a killer showing at E3, Nintendo looks like it might earn the title of number one console (in Japan) -- and not just because the PS4 is selling so poorly there. And perhaps do better in America too. Whatever works. Sean and Vinnk skip Future Retro and Pile of Shame to dedicate the entire episode to E3 reactions. And maybe pepper that stuff t...
97: Nintendo Adapts
June 06, 2014 06:00 - 26.2 MBNintendo appeases the hardcore Super Smash Bros. tournament crowd with a wired adapter for GameCube controls, playable at the Smash Bros Invitational. The newest Mario Kart was released last week, selling out Pro Controllers everywhere, crashing the Club Nintendo website, and increasing sales of the Wii U in the UK alone by 666%. In less than a week, Mario Kart 8 has sold 1.2 million copies worldwide. YouTube announced a monetization scheme for users uploading Nintendo videos. Is Ninten...

96: DisKinect
May 23, 2014 06:00 - 28.2 MBWe've long been wary of digital services on consoles at Famicom Dojo, because every time one shuts down there's the inevitable pain that follows, and features that can never be recaptured. This is what is happening with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection going dark this week, which takes with it all online multiplayer (and related features) for not only Wii and DS titles, but anything that relied on GameSpy for online connectivity. Similarly, Microsoft has continued its Xbox One backpedaling an...
95: The Price of DLC
May 16, 2014 06:00 - 26.7 MBPhysical game releases, and increasingly their digital versions as well, often get a hefty price cut as the game ages, but the price of the DLC never goes down. Should it? Vinnk and Sean backtrack on some earlier positions to talk about DLC they like, grapple with their feelings on DLC in general, and what alternatives publishers can pursue without giving up a revenue stream that helps to increase the software development tail of a game and its engine. "Famicom Thrash" and "RPG" theme son...
