Episode 898: Tender-Hearted Guillaume Steers Clear of Risqué Topics – Radio Free Nintendo

Just a couple of episodes shy of the ominous 900th, the team presents us with a pretty standard show. James, acting as the sole source of structure, offers a real backbone to this well-organized and significant episode. Honestly, it’s the kind of stuff Peabody Awards are made of.

Kicking off New Business, James dives into the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection (00:10:53). These games are anything but forgiving. Guillaume, on the other hand, is in the mood for some Street Fighter IV, aiming to experience all the extras. However, scoring a used copy along with the DLC doesn’t quite deliver the full package (00:34:37). He also snagged a true classic: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (00:45:00). Meanwhile, Greg shares a quick update on F-Zero Climax. He waited until he wrapped up all the fresh F-Zero 99 content before fully diving in (00:52:21). Most of Greg’s New Business time is dedicated to a retro-inspired remake: Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn (00:54:44).

This week, they tackle two emails: one prompting the creation of a Nintendo-themed Broadway production (01:21:55), and another challenging them to identify a fake Pac-Man ghost (01:43:22). Remember, folks, email is crucial. Email is life.

This episode was skillfully edited by James Jones. The unique “Men of Leisure” theme song was crafted especially for Radio Free Nintendo by Perry Burkum. You can explore more of his work on SoundCloud. The Radio Free Nintendo logo was designed by Connor Strickland—check out his latest projects on his website.

To wrap up the episode, they played “Library Piano” from Luigi’s Mansion 2, a request from Regmcfly. All trademarks belong to Nintendo Co., Ltd.
