(Almost) right on time, another episode of The Nichiest Podcast Ever appears

Those of you who enjoy listening to shidoshi, Anne and I wax poetic on anything and everything related to niche-y games and systems may recall that I ended my last blog post about The Nichiest Podcast Ever with an announcement that we're aiming to make this sucker a monthly thing from here on out. (Or from here until whenever we quit doing it, I guess.)

Although we didn't quite meet that goal this month, we got pretty darn close. We're only a week late, after all.


Anyway, this episode, take, whatever you want to call it touches on a ton of niche-y titles, including the Brandish PSP remake that's supposedly coming to North America (via PSN) by the end of the year, Etrian Mystery Dungeon (3DS), Hatoful Boyfriend's second-quarter 2015 release for PS4 and Vita, Keita Takahashi’s (Katamari Damacy) new game, Rodea The Sky Soldier (3DS and Wii U), Suikoden II's long-awaited appearance on PSN, Theatrhythm Dragon Quest (3DS) and Yakuza 5's just-announced localization.

During the much-loved "Cheerleading" segment, Anne discusses Monster Monpiece (Vita), I blather on about a curious Japanese 3DS eShop title known as Pinch 50 and shidoshi attests to the quality of Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth.


Oh, and before I forget: the three of us also spend a good amount of time at the start of this podcast chatting about the 10th anniversary of the DS' North American release and the 20th anniversary of the original PlayStation's Japanese launch. (Sadly, we completely forgot to acknowledge the 10th anniversary of the PSP's emergence. Maybe we can belatedly cover that in our January "take"?)

Should all, or at least some, of the above sound like something you'd like to hear me, Anne and shidoshi talk about, head over to radio.morningproject.com at your convenience.

Yay! Hopefully you're not the only person excited about this news ;) Any, yes, we're trying to stick to a schedule now, so the next one should be out this time next month--if not a few days before!

And thank you again, Justin! It's so cool to be able to make positive connections like this on line. Also, here's hoping I can send sometime your way soon rather than later :)

Glad to see another episode has been released. Interested to hear what you guys think of the Yakuza 5 news. :)

Hey there, Adam! Sadly, I can't remember what we said about it. Just to warn you: it may not have been much! I think shidoshi said the most about it, as Anne and I aren't exactly well versed when it comes to this series!

What a sweetheart! That reminds me that I still haven't completed my copy, which I imported from Japan back when it came out... At least I did play a few hours!

Yeah, it's definitely sweet. I'm looking forward to digging into this one myself early on in January :)
