8-4 Play 9/30/2010: WAIT FOR SPACEWORLD

Fresh from Nintendo's big 3DS (re-)unveiling in Tokyo, the 8-4 crew is ready to drop all kinds of knowledge on the upcoming portable picked up at and after the show. Opinions on the price and date? You got it. Breakdown of all the new hardware features? Natch. Analysis of games and other announcements? Sure. List of questions used to point out show highlights? Done.

I like this podcast from the first couple of episodes. Nice to hear people focus on japanese games for a change. A man can only endure so many hours of listening to people talk about Halo.
 
Yeah, seriously. Have to agree with the weekly sentiment in the thread, it's clear people want to hear it weekly, and it's clear you guys want to do it weekly, so just go ahead. Go on. Gooooo oooooon.
 
Man what a treat, thanks 8-4! I will be happily listening to my new favorite podcast at work tomorrow! Love the show, keep up the weekly segments, no reason not to because we love it so far!

They skipped Kirby :(.
I didn't see that they announced Kirby till we finished recording. Though in all honesty there isn't much to talk about yet.

You sound a lot like me, and I really started liking Warning! A Huge Podcast done by old Gamefan writers/Japanese localizers. It's really great stuff.

Hah. Like we said in the latest ep, we don't want to promise more than biweekly - but we're not opposed to occasionally (possibly even regularly) sneaking one inbetween. Not sure if we'll have one this week or not, but we'll definitely have one on 10/14 either way. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd demo hits the day before, and we might have a guest in town that week (no promises tho - depends on their schedule!).
 
Very nice episode, even though there were no hand-on impressions for the 3ds games.

btw. Hiroko should talk more if possible, maybe you guys should give her more space...

Monster Hunter talk? I'm in!

Oh and you guys should encourage Hiroko to talk more. She seems to be holding back.
 
I'm pretty sure Hiroko will talk more as the show goes on - she's just a little mic-shy. :) It doesn't help that I talk like 200 mph. I'll try and slow it down!

you're perfectly fine the way you are.
 
Good podcast, but it might be a bit too much Marc (not necessarily a bad thing), he needs someone to balance him out heh.
 
I wish I shared the taste of any of the people on the podcast, but I can hardly complain given the dearth of insightful Japanese-game-conversation this generation. I know they don't have much free time, so I can resist rolling my eyes about excitement for "real games" (Resident Evil?) being a primary 3DS thrill. I don't think any other podcast MENTIONED Konami and Harmonix settling, which is, you know, a big deal (I found out by randomly visiting Bemani Style). Great job, guys!

Request: Inazuma 11 segment. It's slowly gained currency among certain NeoGAF people and 1-Up, but it's not nearly enough for what's, in my opinion, the best new property of this generation (and I don't care for Level-5's other games at all). Educating people about a fairly innovative smash would be a nice salve for the, "Japan is DYING," lamentations. It sounds like you've played at least 1 of them.

Probably because he was the only guy at the event.....
 
Another great cast, guys! Can't wait to see how one your actual 'proper' episodes play out.

By the way you guys didn't mention(and I haven't been able to find out for sure anywhere) whether Street FighterIV 3DS is a port of SSIV straight up or if it's the new Arcade Edition. i.e. were Yun and Yang in it?

I feel bad for garnet but this is also how I feel

Why feel bad for Garnett? If anything we need more high quality podcasts. 8-4 and Weekend Confirmed are both excellent.
 
Fantastic episode. Had a lot of fun listening to it.
I'm just wondering, what's the best way to reach you guys if I have questions or comments or whatever? I know you've got Twitter, but 140 characters aren't enough.
