The Nerd Fortress Podcast: Episode 7

The Nerd Fortress Podcast: Episode 7

NOTE: This episode of the podcast took longer than usual to edit because I was grieving over the loss of Justin Carmical a.k.a. JewWario and I also had to work around my co-host's constant stumbling and stuttering issues again so please forgive me for how much longer than usual it took to edit this episode!

On this edition of the Nerd Fortress podcast, we start the episode off with some very sad news with the death of Justin Carmical, better known as JewWario, then talk about the latest news with Nintendo as well as have some exclusive news from the Nintendo financial results meeting, then find out that the Assassin's Creed series doesn't have an actual ending after all, go back to Nintendo for a little bit by explaining the situation with the Wii U's gamepad, as well as go over Nintendo's lifetime hardware and software sales from the Famicom/NES up to now excluding the Wii U, and I vent out my anger and rage with the recent news about a live action Ghost in the Shell movie that's just gotten off the ground and much more on this edition of the Nerd Fortress podcast!

The Nerd Fortress Podcast: Episode 4

After an unexpected hiatus, the Nerd Fortress podcast is back with another new episode!

On this final episode for the year of 2013, we talk about the last generation of consoles since the PS4 and the Xbox One have been released to the general public. We talk about the good, the bad, and the somewhat ridiculous stupidity from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo!

We then talk about the latest news such as the latest with Metal Gear Solid 5, Shigeru Miyamoto's continued withdrawal from the Mario franchise, new info on the Xbox One, the most recent firmware update for the PlayStation Vita, the latest editions to the roster for the new Super Smash Bros. game for the 3DS and the Wii U, some news about Steam Machines and Steam OS, and much more on this last episode of the Nerd Fortress podcast of 2013.

NOTE: Just found out that the Power Rangers Legacy Collection has been delayed because of an unexpected production delay with the Red Ranger helmet, so please disregard what I say about the December 3rd release!

Another update on what's happening

Nerd Fortress Podcast Update

Listeners may be wondering "Why hasn't there been a new episode?" for more than quite a while now. Truth is that going back and re-watching Kamen Rider Wizard is going to take some additional time so I decided to hold off on it as a topic for the podcast for now.

The other main reason is that Devin and myself have been doing other things lately and have decided to talk about the previous generation of gaming consoles since the next generation of consoles are coming out in the next 2 weeks starting with the Playstation 4 on November 15th here in North America and then the X Box One on November 22nd in Europe and North America. Also, we are going to try and get this episode recorded before the holidays start here in North America which means that would be our last show of 2013!

And the 3rd reason is that I've been mostly busy playing Batman: Arkham Origins and Kamen Rider: Battride War on the PS3 which have really taken a lot of hours to get through as far as the main storyline goes for both games, but I will go into more detail about both games on the next episode.

We will definitely keep you guys posted!

The Nerd Fortress Podcast: Episode 2

After a week of editing, the 2nd episode of The Nerd Fortress podcast is finally here!

This time, we talk about the Toei Channel as well as how the fansubbers feel about it, talk about some of the games that we saw featured at the Sony press conference before Tokyo Game Show kicked off, give a minor update on Mighty No. 9, then talk about Japanese import games as well as Chroma Squad and Ultraman's long overdue induction into the Guinness Book of World Records and introduce a new segment giving our anime, gaming and toku recommendations as well as much more!

This episode was recorded on Friday the 13th, and we weren't really at our best. And you will definitely hear that while listening to this episode. So please forgive us for not being as focused as well as knowledgeable, and organized during this episode! Hopefully, we should be back 100% next week.

Newest info on the PS4 and XBox One

If any of you have been living under a rock, or don't have excellent internet connections and still prefer actual gaming magazines for you to get you're latest gaming news, the Playstation 4 and the XBox One have both been announced. Microsoft had originally intended the Xbox One to be a console version of Valve's Steam platform on the PC, but it was so badly explained as well as marketed that tons of 360 fanboys and fangirls switched to the PS4 because of Microsoft's security concerns and because of this whole public relations nightmare, Don Mattrick resigned from his post as the President of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft and became the new CEO of Zynga, who's best known for social media games like Farmville and Mafia Wars.

Microsoft has also been doing a lot of back-peddling to try and repair the damage done earlier this year when the Xbox One was announced and the PR nightmare that followed soon after while Sony Computer Entertainment divisions in both America and Japan have unveiled the Playstation 4 as well as announced the price which makes it $100 cheaper than the $500 MSRP that Microsoft is charging for the Xbox One! Fast forward to the present where just recently Sony finally announced the release date for the PS4 at the Gamescom trade fair in Cologne, Germany.

The Playstation 4 will be available to everyone in North America on November 15th and will be released in Europe on November 29th which will also be when the console will be released in Australia and will be available in 32 countries! Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn't released an announce date for the Xbox One, and the release of the console will be delayed in the European countries. A list of launch titles for both consoles have recently been released for both consoles which will be released during the first 3 months of both respected console's release dates.

Both consoles will have Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, and Call of Duty: Ghosts released on them as well as the latest entries in the Madden and NBA franchises. Also, keep in mind that a lot of the games coming for this holiday season will also be coming out for the PS3 as well as the 360 since both Microsoft and Sony will still be supporting these consoles for a few more years. The only real difference that you will see will be the graphics and the visuals because the graphics and visuals are supposed to look much better on these next generation consoles, but as to how much better remains to be seen.

For a full list of launch games that will be available on day one as well as within the launch window, please check out: List of PS4 launch titles and List of XBox One launch titles and take a look at the comparison chart located here at: Playstation 4 Vs. Xbox One Comparison Chart before making you're decision!
