No surprise that they missed the Kojima news, but that'll make the next episode. Woo 8-4!

@amyggen: It wouldn't be an 8-4 podcast without some missed major news.

That Adam Sandler is pretty good. Keep doing that voice. I couldn't stop laughing at the Donkey Kong bit.

People are fat everywhere when you compare it to Japan. America gets a bad wrap but other countries, like Britain, are right up there especially with trends.

But whatever, I cannot wait for Bloodborne.

This is my favorite podcast right now. I totally recommend you go back and listen to the early episodes (even just the first 10). The guests are great: http://8-4.jp/blog/?cat=8&paged=13

Great stuff.

I wonder if the Kojima news broke after they finished recording, so as a way of acknowledging it they included "The Best Is Yet To Come".

Mark needs to be back for the Kojima discussion. I'm looking forward to an impassioned monologue. The 8-4 play Xbox One DRM debacle is one of the all-time greats.

Haha, yeah, Sarah has more energy than every male intern they've had combined.

Also, for those of you listening to the podcast who aren't familiar with the song they keep referencing from Fossil Fighters, let me help you:

Loading Video...

It's pretty 80s/90s cartoon.

You're right. I was surprised to find out that she's an intern she contributed some great stuff to this.

Wooo I always get excited when someone talks about being from &/or going to Wisconsin! And everything bad people say about the state and its people is, sadly, true. \/\/ <--- that's a cool "W" for Wisconsin. That's about all we have here....

Feels like these guys are describing the Vita and Playstation TV exactly in terms of what Nintendo is doing with the NX. Neither of those is setting the world on fire (especially outside of Japan). Boy do I hope they're wrong about that. Haven't we learned yet that people don't want console games on handhelds and vice versa? Both Sony's portable consoles tried to do this and failed pretty miserably.

@sammo21: Trends?

Anyway, best reporting/dialog I have heard about the Nintendo DeNA & NX news. Most people are pretty misinformed on the matter from what I have been listening to.
