Third podcast's a charm?

As of about 14 hours ago, the audio for the third episode of The Nichiest Podcast Ever is in the can.

What did Anne (@apricotsushi on twitter), shidoshi (@pikoeri) and I chat about this time?

Well, we began by shooting the spit about the recent Tokyo Game Show (which shidoshi attended in person, the lucky devil) and the heap of niche-y games--3DS and Vita ones, especially--that were announced during the multi-day event.

We also discussed the just-announced Animal Crossing-themed 3DS LL (it'll hit the streets of Japan on Nov. 8) and the just-released (on Sept. 27) "PINK x WHITE" 3DS LL that I wrote about earlier today.


 Oh, and we touched on Bayonetta 2, Dead or Alive 5, THE "DENPA" MEN, HarmoKnight, Tokyo Jungle, and a few other games I can't mention here because they were part of the do-you-know-this-game segment of the podcast that's called "The Nichiest of Them All," too.

As always, I'll let you know when this episode is available for listening. In the meantime, why not check out episodes one and two?

Melody: You know, I don't think you and I are alone in wanting the Animal Crossing-themed 3DS LL. Hopefully NOJ will make loads of them! And, of course, I hope Nintendo's American and European arms will release them in their respective territories, too -- although I'm not going to bet on it :|

I'm quite sure it wont come to NA or Europe...
Just like the Pikachu-3DS LL:

or those "Love Plus"-3DSes:

Yes, you're very likely right, Melody. Honestly, I have no idea why Nintendo refuses to release such Limited Edition systems outside of Japan. Surely they'd sell all they could produce/ship?

Melody (Lizzi) said...

I have no idea either...
I'm pretty sure Nintendo is rich enough to produce more of these editions but they wouldnt be so "special" anymore if you could buy them everywhere right?
I mean it would be smarter to produce more of them because ppl like us who already have a 3DS but would buy ALSO a 3DS LL to get those cute editions would bring them some more money because of that.
I would never buy a 3DS LL if it's not such a cute edition.
This is lost money.

Bryan Ochalla said...

Well, yes, I agree that I wouldn't want to produce too many of any of these "special edition" XL/LL systems for any one region, but it would be nice if they'd produce at least a *few* for us non-Japanese gamers. Like you said, it's lost money. Sadly, I don't think Nintendo of Europe, Nintendo of America, etc., are going to change course any time soon :(

I'm way excited to hear the podcast, Bryan! You guys get better with every episode!

Bryan Ochalla said...

Thanks, Justin! I hate to say that this one is likely to be a bit longer than the last, so hopefully that won't annoy too many people. Also, hopefully we'll be able to rope things in a bit during the next one, which should be recorded around this time next month...

Viewtiful_Justin said...

Oh, I don't mind the length (that's what he said...) because I listen in little segments every day.

Bryan Ochalla said...

Ha! I love that you included the "that's what he said" in there :)

Also, I'm glad the length doesn't bug you too much. Still, I think keeping them to an hour to an hour-and-a-half would be best!
