This week, we’re back with Yakuza…sort of? Jared and I watched the Like a Dragon live action film, and boy howdy is it a hot mess. We talk about the weird story, all of the original content thrown in for some inexplicable reason, and how everything about Majima is wrong.

This week, Jared and I are going to put on our detective hats and solve a couple of mysteries! Nintendo recently released the Famicom Detective Club games: The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind for the Switch, marking the first time these games have officially been translated and released in the west. We discuss the back stories of these games, let a teenage boy look at a lot of dead bodies, break down the stories themselves, and talk about how surprisingly dark one game is.

This week, we’re continuing our trek through the Yakuza series with Yakuza 4. We talk about all the new characters since this was the first game to feature multiple protagonists, how the story intertwines, and how Jared and I think this ranks among the series as a whole. It’s gonna rain money!

Two weeks ago, we talked about the live action Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series, and this week, we’re here to talk about the anime OVAs that recently had an overseas release on Netflix. We talk about the similarities and differences of the one episode that overlaps with the live action, we chat about the plots of the other three episodes, the dub voice cast, swol Yu Narukami, which episodes are the strongest, and why Josuke can’t talk.

This week, we’re gonna get a little casual and throw on our Hawaiian shirts with Kiryu in Yakuza 3. This is also the first one of the series that Jared has not experienced its entirety. We chat about the changes to the remastered version, the story, and the mighty power of the Dad Squat.

This week, we’re getting a little bizarre again. We’re back in the JoJo universe with the live action adaptation of Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe. We chat about all three episodes, how they make this feel unique from other adaptations of this material and JJBA Part 4 generally, and ultimately what we think about the mini series.

This week, Jared and I chat about the PlayStation Vita, an amazing system despite Sony’s complete and utter lack of support. We chat about the history of it, why it died, what we liked, how some games got a second life on the Vita, and which games were our favorites.

Jared and I are solving mysteries this week! First, we chat about Sony shutting down the PS3, PSP, and Vita digital store servers later this year and what that means for game preservation. After that, we talk about Root Film, the fun story, our theories when we were playing, and how we think it is compared to the spiritual predecessor Root Letter.

This week, Jared and I played a home version of an arcade version of a rhythm game with a hell of a title, as well as a cooperative game where our characters are getting a divorce. The Love Live! games leaves a lot to be desired despite some neat features, and we chat about what the problems with it are. Finally, we played It Takes Two, which has some fantastic moments and gameplay, but the story of it leaves a lot to be desired. I did get to fight a squirrel who tried to Hadouken me though.

This week, Jared and I get to talk about a sleeper hit from last year, Vanillaware’s 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Since we’d be here for days if we went beat by beat on the story, we chat about the general overview of the story, our favorite moments and characters, and we read through Jared’s notes he took to try and keep everything straight in his head.
