8-4 Play: 1/11/2019: ALL YOU CAN EAT SMASHBROWNS

We catch up after the New Year, look forward to 2019, and get a little retro. Or…more than usual anyway.

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.
