8-4 Play: EPISODE LXI: A NEW HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL 11-2-12

Let's be honest: You don't give a crap what we write here, you just want the list of what we talked about on the podcast, right? Fine then: Crashmo, Punch Quest, Paper Mario: Sticker Star (a bit), Dark Souls (a bit more), Dragon Quest X (John bought a house!), Nintendo sales projections (down!), Nintendo Wii U projections (up!), Dragon Quest VII for 3DS, Retro Studios Zelda (?), and a bunch more news. There, you happy?!

Every other week, tune into 8-4 Play for talk about video games, Japan, and Japanese video games, straight from the 8-4 offices in beautiful downtown Tokyo. Hosted by 1UP Japan's own Mark MacDonald, John Ricciardi, and Hiroko Minamoto.

I already listened to this episode twice (thanks Neogaf thread!) because I was listening while trying to beat the Rooftop City boss in Pid which took 2 hours.

The Doritos Geoff Keighley pics are hilarious.

Your podcast description makes me feel like I'm just using you 8-4. I'm so sorry.

Just got an order today with Ys Celceta and Bravely Default. Not going to crack open BD yet since I haven't yet cleared the demo and earned all the carryover bonuses but Ys is fucking SWEET. It's been too long since I sampled that series.

13-2 hit $20 so fast that it has to be the "unnamed" game.

I just looked at Amazon -- $15 now. That's 'please buy this and clear our stock' price.

I remember that episode of GI Joe! Shipwreck was married to the gill girl (from a previous episode) and they gas him in a car wash and then everyone starts melting!

Good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.
