I always have fun doing the podcast, and I think the rest of the crew does as well. With that said, I really had a blast this time! We also had a lot of interesting things to talk about. Listen in for discussion of Fragile Dreams, WarioWare DIY, Monster Hunter 3, Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, and even Majora’s Mask! Download the show here (says Professor Domo!)

I just got done chatting with Tyrone Rodriguez of Nicalis fame, and he dropped a little bit of information on me. If you’ve been wondering just how much Cave Story is going to cost you come Monday, get ready to spend 1,200 Nintendo Points. I know a lot of you have been wondering about the price, and now you finally have your answer! $12 for one of the best 2d games I’ve ever played. That sounds like a fair deal to me!

Cave Story to cost 1200 Nintendo Points
Today seemed like one of those days that just dragged on. I usually think the week goes by rather quickly, but this one is taking its time. I guess I just really want the weekend to be here! Well, I guess the faster I get to bed, the quicker that will happen! I’ll see you guys in a few, short hours. For those that follow the game industry, you’ve come to know multiple developers by name. There was a time when even the most diehard gamer didn’t even know who Miyamoto was. In today’s day and age, names like Miyamoto/Wright/Kojima are synonymous with the business. Those are the developer names that almost every gamer knows. That doesn’t make them any better/worse than any other devs, it just goes to show how far we’ve come when dealing with development recognition. With our heads full of hundreds of developer names, there are most likely a few that always rise to the top of your brain. These are the devs that really strike a chord with you, and somehow always manage to speak to you through their games. The experiences you have while playing through their titles are extremely memorable, causing you to learn every little bit about the guy/girl that you can. Just like authors and directors leave their marks, so do great game devs. Personally, I absolutely love Suda51’s approach to game development. His titles are far from perfect, but you can tell that he and his development team pour their hearts into these games. While the experiences might be a little bit lop-sided, I think the personal touches more than make up for that. Killer 7 and No More Heroes aren’t the best games you’ll ever play, but the unique approach and design elements that Suda sprinkles throughout these games matters much more to me. Do you have a favor developer? If so, leave a comment and let us know who it is. Of course, fill us in on why you love them as well!

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Do you have a favorite developer?
Yeah, when you actually slow it down and say it out loud, it does sound like this title is just a bunch of thrown-together words. You have to wonder if each game company has a dart board filled with words that they use to determine game names. Feature here

This week is going by pretty fast, don’t you think? I hope it’s all going well for you guys, as things have been pretty smooth over here. I can’t wait until the weekend…I have plenty of games I need to get some time with! Let’s just hope that Thursday goes off without a hitch. I’ll see you guys in a few, short hours. Have a great morning, all! Our friends at Nintendo are so nice to us…so very, very nice. They’ve decided to bestow upon us the first, North American reveal of the Johto region for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver! I can’t even tell you how excited I am to bring this to you guys and gals. Sure, some of you have seen this info from following the Japanese coverage a few months back, but now you get to see what it’ll be like when you pick up your copy! What exactly do we have for you? How about a map of the Johto region, a look at Team Rocket, and some artwork for the Pokeathlon! I think these are all things you’ll thoroughly enjoy. Enough yapping from me…get to the goodies below! Thanks again to our friends at Nintendo for providing us with these assets. We all truly appreciate it! · Johto Region - Your journey begins in New Bark Town, a small town that also happens to be the home of Professor Elm. When Professor Elm asks you to carry out an important task for him, little do you know that it’s the start of an amazing adventure that will take you to all corners of Johto! You’ll encounter experienced Gym Leaders, incredible locales, scores of Pokémon, and, of course, Team Rocket along the way! · Team Rocket - The nefarious Team Rocket is back! Three years after causing all kinds of trouble in Kanto in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions, the unruly organization has moved to the Johto region to continue their criminal ways! It’s evident that Team Rocket is treating Pokémon terribly and using Pokémon to help carry out their illegal deeds. But what is their ultimate goal? You’ll discover their true secrets as you play Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions! · Pokéathlon -The all-new Pokéathlon gives you yet another way for your Pokémon to compete!
