Konichiwa, beyotches! It's time for another edition of PixlTalk, Tri-Force style! It's all about Japan this week, as your intrepid trio takes a look at the Japanese industry and talk about how concerned we are about the future of gaming over there. Your cup will runneth over with podcasty goodness as we argue about the merits of Mario for the hardcore gamer, discuss the sexuality of Bayonetta, casual racism in Resident Evil 5 (among other games), and mention some of our favorite Japanese games from this generation. We talk in some detail about Metal Gear Solid 4, Vanquish, Demon's Souls, and then Patrick makes sweet, sweet love to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. So sit back, pour some sake, and listen to a podcast so meaty you'll need to hold it with both hands.
