This week we're back in the normal routine with a full-sized episode. To kick off the show we have a massive news discussion covering recent events regarding Nintendo's localization, tons of leaked information from Splatoon, why Nintendo decided not to buy Rareware, and Sakurai's undying dedication to making people happy. After the break, we return with another Mystery House discussion, where we take questions from listeners like you. This week we answered questions about overrated Nintendo games, a Wario and Waluigi cartoon series, and why EarthBound is so great. Of course there's a mountain more content, so tune in! This week's break music is Dark Horizons, and the outro music is Twoson Hits the Road.

NW 024: Our Most-Wanted Newcomers for the Future of Smash
Wednesday Aug 05, 2015
Wednesday Aug 05, 2015
This week is all about the discussion, seeing as last week's late episode left us covering about half a week of news that we would have otherwise discussed for today. The subject this week is which characters we personally want to see joining the case of the Super Smash Bros. series at any time in the future—we talk about some of our favorite choices, what kinds of playstyles they would bring to the roster, and why they'd make great additions (although there are surely a few odd ones out).
