Haha, Nomura's line about his burning rage being behind Kingdom Hearts was a "what?" kind of moment.

Mobile gaming will NEVER be enough. Famitsu is FULL of 3DS and retail games, whoever is speaking is not giving the entire story.

Kinda getting the same vibe as him from Shadow of Mordor. I need to put in some more time over this weekend and see how it opens up midway through.

The game's name is Super Smash Brothers for [four/4] 3DS.
It's Super Smash Brothers 4, being the fourth game in the series. It's a clever play on words. Why don't people think critically or abstractly instead of jumping on an internet complaint bandwagon.
Since Brawl, online depends on the connections of both players. If one side has a bad connection, the whole thing is ruined.

Also, I never listen to this.

Even if that was intentional (and I'm not wholly convinced it is, to be honest), I still don't think it's a good title. Just because it's a pun doesn't make it clever, and from a marketing standpoint, it's a confusing mess.

The good news is that it seems like a pretty good game, and will probably sell just fine regardless of its choice of naming convention.

it sounds like someone is clicking away on their computer nonstop through this episode. the last one i listened to had a ton of slurping. you guys might not notice when you're recording it, but it definitely comes across when you give it a listen.

Don't listen to the Jameson hate, it's good stuff. And springing for a bottle of the older stuff doesn't mean as much with Irish whiskey in general as it does with Scotch, as there's already a smoother flavor profile in general. Would-be snobs should apply under a different category of spirits, no openings here.

Which I'm not even sure is intentional (it's not like it was ever highlighted in any form of marketing or commentary from Nintendo). If it is intentional, it's super lame.
