TinyCast

Wrap up the decade with a rambling, introspective chat. Plus Game Awards! Plus a new cinematic universe?

Over the weekend, we attended the first-ever TinyCon, a small gathering organized by Club Tiny members! So there's a lot of party game talk and a lot of quacking, plus news about Ring Fit Adventure.

Here on the eve of a new Nintendo Direct, we made sure to bring all the important news about Lunchables. Show notes! 5:30 Pumpkinheads 8:00 Pocketoid 131 14:00 Dragon Quest XI S 16:00 Obakeidoro Nintendo Lunchables 40m Books: How to Write an Autobiographical Novel, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, Exhalation

A Playdate special! Of course! How are you going to announce a new handheld without a Tinycast? Plus, a more successful attempt at gratitude and a Groundhog Update!

A super long episode! So you know we're going in depth on the important topics of the day. You know it. So here it is: a lot about Arby's coupons and Reggie's new  chair.  Plus: a moment of gratitude.   

Two things that have nothing to do with one another: Reggie Fils-Aime's career ends and a weird confluence of retro stuff. They're united by the thread of us talking about them, I guess.

Noted fashion experts Eric and JC cover the most important details from the Pokemon Nintendo Direct.

Says here that we... "had to do it to 'em." Link's Remakening, Dragon Quest XI, Daemon X Machina, and the Tetris Renaissance. Tetris Renaissance is on, y'all!

We're back to catch up with each other and you, with a lot of real life plus Wargroove and Octahedron.

Since no other podcast out there exists to cover classic games, Eric and JC take it upon themselves to discuss all the old-ass games Nintendo, Sega, and Sony are spitting back out.

For this not-work-safe-at-all episode, we broke kayfabe to beg all the Waluigi fans out there to let Masahiro Sakurai live in peace. We also covered recent developments in Switch hacking and a new kind of energy sweeping the internet. We really earned the Explicit tag with this one.

Come for the convos about video game collections (recorded before Sega Ages' reveal!) and virtual console's absence, stay for us chopping it up about Yakuza relatability, what we're buying from Uniqlo, and recent ramen trips.

We're celebrating this landmark episode with TinyCast founding member Fran! How did we record so many of these? After going over recent announcements, we catch up with our old friend, looking back at our favorite TinyCast memories and ahead at our lasagna future.

TinyCast 99.5! While you wait for our 100th episode, enjoy this extra tiny portion of the podcast reacting to the Nintendo Labo announcement, gloating about out awesome community/discord, and expressing our excitement over all these indie Switch ports.

Come listen to JC and Eric work out their dissatisfactions with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, call out fake friends, read Chrissy Teigen tweets, and predict the future of Amiibo foods.

We spend this episode walking JC through his potluck dilemmas, and we also chat about our recent vacations to Jamaica, fears of missing out on food, growing your own herbs and vegetables, and the versatility of Pickapeppa Sauce. These non-handheld gaming episodes are typically exclusive to our Club Tiny members ($3+ Patreon pledge gets you access to the GroceryCast and our Discord chat), but we're giving everyone a preview of what they're missing out on!

TinyCast 98! What if the Famicom's awful game Bird Week became a long-running series? JC and Eric are here to answer that question! They also discussed Analogue's Super Nt, the Switch's major firmware update, and Club Tiny's relaunch with new rewards!

JC goes solo to talk about too many new eShop releases on the Switch this week!

What started off as a Nintendo Direct recap turned into a discussion about the lucrative opportunities Mario's nipples pointed us toward, and the sense of dread JC must feel whenever he gets bombarded with notifications from our Twitter account.

We had to put another one down for the summer! The latest episode goes over our favorite games from this week's Nindies Showcase, our history of terrible headlines, and an exciting Fire Emblem collaboration now in the works. Please don't miss this!

We tried our damnedest to stay on topic with the SNES Classic and Splatoon 2, and we pulled it off for about 18 minutes, but then we ventured into manhood and patriotism tests, the #UFO50 illuminati, and neighborhood Facebook groups.

We almost recorded a GroceryCast here, but instead we talked about Splatoon 2 news, what to steal from Spencer Gifts, River City: Knights of Justice impressions, and low-sugar strats. We shouted out Classico pasta sauce a bunch, too, but the low-sugar brand I highly recommend is actually Cucina Antica.

Join us for our E3 recap as we talk about our favorite moments and games from the show, moral questions raised by Super Mario Odyssey, Samus' return, and a new genre of fetish videos.

This episode is full of nicknames -- we hit you with aliases for ourselves, residents of the Mushroom Kingdom (which includes the Rabbids now, somehow), and our latest fixation, Arms commentator Biff.

I don't know why we went wild here, but things were definitely poppin' in this episode. Topics this time around: the New Nintendo 2DS XL, Zelda DLC, TumbleSeed, and Puyo Puyo Tetris. 

If you want to hear speculation about why Nintendo discontinued the NES Classic Edition, or a run-down of the recent Direct presentation, we've got an episode for you! And shake recipes too!

Our shared love for the Switch and Zelda brought us back for another TinyCast finally! We also chatted about eShop releases and why we should delete this episode someday.

JC and Eric needed an excuse, any excuse, to get together and record a short podcast, and that excuse was the release of a very silly Wii U eShop game. We apologize for making this.

Who cares if it's for smartphones -- JC and Eric linked up to discuss Miitomo anyway, because it's fun and not shady as far as free-to-play stuff goes. The episode goes off the rails in the second half, covering 80s sitcom theme songs and tiny recipes!

JC and Eric get together for an afternoon podcast about SNES games on the 3DS Virtual Console, last week's Nintendo Direct news, and 13-year-old Achewood comics.

If you need a preview of 2016 handheld RPGs and a rant on Trails in the Sky, we have you covered! In between that, our latest episode also offers new layers of Bravely D, Shiren 5 husbandos, the consequences of curry, and Fire Emblem Fates impressions.

After a long hiatus, the TinyCast gang is back to talk about what we've been up to, Detective Pikachu, Downton Abbey amiibo, and caring for your pets.

The gang got together last week for this episode to talk about all the PS Vita titles at the PlayStation Experience event, Xenoblade Chronicles, Pokemon Picross, and the nature free-to-play game design.

We have lots of thoughts to share with you on recent releases, including Rodea, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and Yo-Kai Watch. Plus tangents on forgettable RPGs and overpriced games.

Going over last week's Nintendo Direct, our super late TinyCast group recounted the highs and lows of the presentation, from fulfilled Dragon Quest predictions to Mega Man gold amiibo saltiness.

No Eric this week, but the rest of the crew discusses their Halloween adventures past and present.

It's a very Grezzo episode this week! We managed to share our impressions on Tri Force Heroes and The Legend of Legacy, despite the interruptions of a cat chewing on Gundam models.

Tune in for 650 calories of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer impressions, The Legend of Legacy demo thoughts, and Arby's nonsense. We also discuss the finality of Shin Megami Tensei IV's follow-up.

Heidi Kemps joins JC and (briefly) Fran for a chat about two recent music games: Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX and Persona 4 Dancing All Night.

Come listen to us talk about Super Mario Maker! We also chatted about Nintendo's new president, recent PS Vita announcements, and curly fries.

We blazed through this week's news -- the New 3DS coming Stateside, Ace Attorney 6, etc -- so we could get to what's important: Danganronpa husbandos. Join us for a discussion on the PS Vita's big release for 2015, Danganronpa: Another Episode!

Before talking about what makes Little Battlers eXperience and Level-5 games in general so comforting, we discuss the Nintendo Direct's worth of news and amiibo (despite the lack of an actual Nintendo Direct) from the past week.

Come listen to us reminisce about our first portable gaming experiences, and hear us develop a new handheld obsession in real time (along with a new creepypasta).

New game announcements in hand, we recapped all the Dragon Quest news from the past week, discussing the series' chances of returning to the West, the NX, and belt situations.

This is a shorter, more somber episode than usual -- we spent this get-together eulogizing our friend, Nintendo's recently departed president and CEO Satoru Iwata.

We tried to talk about how excited we are for a follow-up to 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, but there was zero escape from Goku's grip, and Extreme Butoden bullied its way into every topic.

Come listen to adults react to E3 -- we managed to go over all the notable 3DS and Wii U items from last week's big expo, while also sharing a few disappointments. There's lots of raving over Super Mario Maker too!

Ahead of E3, we threw together an episode predicting (or making up) what we'll see at the show. And for the 68th time, we also talked too much about Dragon Ball Z.

What a weird episode! We spent most of this one giggling and reviewing news from the past week's Nintendo Directs, from Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer to micro Bill Trinen.

It's our Splatoon episode! Along with sharing what we love about the Wii U shooter, we talked about the Humble Nindie Bundle, Affordable Space Adventures, and local multiplayer games we've played lately.

Following last week's Bloodstained announcement, we spend this episode talking about Igavanias/Metroidvanias, primarily Symphony of the Night along with all of the GBA and Nintendo DS releases.
