What starts as a chaotic debate about Yakuza-style tattoos, zodiac animals, and Patrick Star wielding katanas turns into one of the most heartfelt gaming conversations the Boss Rush Gamescast crew has ever had. Pat Klein, Stoy Jovic, Stephanie Klimov, and Just Taylor dive into everything from retro gaming nostalgia, arcade memories, JRPG obsessions, and hidden indie gems to modern gaming burnout and the growing toxicity surrounding online gaming culture. They also discuss games like Alabaster Dawn, Trails in the Sky, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Metroid Prime, Final Fantasy XIII, Pokémon Black & White, The Last of Us Part II, and more while reflecting on why gaming matters to them personally.

Dans Multijoueurs, Melinda Davan-Soulas reçoit Daniel Andreyev, journaliste et membre de Sumimasen Turbo, et Bastien Péan, fondateur de FFRing.com. Ils s'interrogent sur l'impact de “Dragon Quest”, le jeu créé par Enix qui fête cette année ses 40 ans. Longtemps cantonné au marché japonais où il est un monument du jeu vidéo, avec Akira Toriyama aux dessins, le jeu de rôle a inspiré bon nombre de franchises mondialement connues, de Final Fantasy à Pokémon en passant par NiER. Il aura fallu 20 ans pour que la France finisse par se laisser séduire.

THE PERSONA 6 IS REAL! THE PERSONA 6 IS REAL! We TALK ABOUT PERSONA 6! Final Fantasy VII the last part of this remake trilgoy is looking GLORIOUS. And a new Stellar Blade looks great and of course comes with controversy.
Sorry for the lack of episodes as of late! But we will be going strong until the end of the year! Dragon Quest XII is looking great but those character designs... Persona 6 got leaked designs and the price of EVERYTHING is going up. Including my beloved Steam Deck.
Nuevo episodio de Rejugando dedicado por completo al Summer Game Fest 2026 y al Xbox Showcase 2026, dos eventos que para Raffa, Mario Rey, Marcos, Eva, José Anya y Graffic han dejado una de las semanas más fuertes del videojuego en muchísimo tiempo. El programa se convierte en un repaso enorme a anuncios, sorpresas, debates y primeras impresiones de una avalancha de juegos que ha dejado cientos de titulares. Uno de los grandes protagonistas del episodio es Resident Evil Verónica, el inesperado regreso de Capcom que abre el Summer Game Fest y que provoca buena parte del debate del programa. Hablamos de la situación actual de Capcom, del legado de Resident Evil Code Veronica, y de cómo la saga sigue viviendo uno de los momentos más fuertes de toda su historia. El Xbox Showcase también deja varios pesos pesados sobre la mesa. Analizamos extensamente Fable y su nuevo material mostrado, el futuro de Gears of War: E-Day, las sensaciones que deja Clockwork Revolution y la conversación alrededor de Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 y el rumbo actual de Xbox. También hay tiempo para hablar de Game Pass, del cambio de estrategia de Microsoft y de cómo se está construyendo el catálogo para los próximos años. El programa dedica además un bloque importante a Persona 4 Revival, uno de los anuncios más celebrados entre los aficionados al JRPG. Se compara con Persona 3 Reload y con Persona 5, y se debate el momento que vive Atlus tras el éxito de Metaphor: ReFantazio. La locura continúa con nombres enormes apareciendo durante las conferencias y durante los rumores alrededor de ellas: Final Fantasy VII Revelation, la tercera parte del Remake es uno de los platos principales También hay espacio para algunas de las sorpresas que más llaman la atención del equipo como Valor Mortis, comparaciones con Lies of P y Steelrising, el impacto visual de algunas nuevas IP y el enorme número de videojuegos presentes durante el verano. Entre Summer Game Fest y Xbox Showcase el programa transmite una sensación constante: pocos años recientes recuerdan a una concentración tan grande de anuncios, regresos y proyectos capaces de dominar la conversación durante meses. Un episodio de Rejugando para quienes quieran ponerse al día con todo lo importante del Summer Game Fest y Xbox Showcase, descubrir qué juegos han generado más ilusión y escuchar un análisis tranquilo de Resident Evil Verónica, Fable, Persona 4 Revival, Gears of War: E-Day, Final Fantasy VII Remake Parte III, Persona 6 y muchos más. como Resident Evil: Veronica, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, Persona 6, Fable, Gears of War: E-Day, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Alien: Isolation 2, gen ATLAS, Stranger Than Heaven, Mortal Shell II, Chronicles: Medieval, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, , End of Abyss, Mouse: P.I. for Hire, , Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, ARC Raiders, Dune: Awakening, Chrono Odyssey, Mio: Memories in Orbit, Out of Words, TMNT: The Last Ronin, The Wolf Among Us 2, Star Wars: Zero Company, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, Control Resonant, God of War: Laufey, Marvel's Wolverine, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Grounded 2.

According to a former Square-Enix exec, the company is worried about how OLD the average Final Fantasy and JRPG fan is. Most Americans who bought Final Fantasy VII Rebirth were over 35. What they're not taking into consideration is that that audience has MONEY to spend. See also the Final Fantasy Magic: The Gathering sales. So will Square-Enix drop the middle aged men to chase Gen Z? Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

What are the best RPGs for someone who has never played a JRPG before? Which games teach the foundations of the genre without overwhelming new players? And which games can genuinely turn a casual player into a lifelong fan? We break down why games like Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Pokémon Yellow, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Persona 5, Golden Sun, EarthBound, Suikoden II, Super Mario RPG, and Final Fantasy IV remain some of the most approachable and emotionally resonant entry points into the genre. Along the way, we talk about: Why turn-based combat is NOT outdated, the hidden brilliance of abstraction in classic JRPG design, why Pokémon “hacks into the childhood psyche”, how JRPGs teach players complex systems intuitively, why nostalgia is actually a good thing, and the games we'd introduce to our own children. Whether you're trying to introduce a friend, spouse, or child to JRPGs for the first time, or you're just reflecting on the games that shaped you, this was one of our favorite conversations in a long time. #JRPG #ChronoTrigger #FinalFantasy #Pokemon #Persona5 #EarthBound #Suikoden #GoldenSun #Nintendo #RetroGaming #VideoGames #ResonantArc Time Codes: 1.

Final Fantasy 7 is on pretty much every list of top video games of all time. As the first JRPG on the Playstation, it had a huge role in popularizing that entire genre. It's a classic that stands the test of time. It's had sequels, and prequels, and remakes and rebirths. But does its story hold up to the type of scrutiny that we're known for? Can someone who's never played a videogame before understand it? Do any of the characters make sense? Does the world? Why are they called weapons if they don't look like axes? And who leaves so much magic just lying around on the floor? There's much to discuss in this week's episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast!

Dragon Quest has had 11 mainline games, tons of spinoffs and ports galore. It's a franchise known for ushering in the foundation of the Japanese Role Playing Game, or the JRPG. Originating on the Famicom in the mid 1980s, the game saw not one but FOUR games release on Nintendo's first console. In this episode, we've decided to focus on the first three, known as the Erdrick Trilogy. With good friends and patrons of the show on board, Ryan and Cam, we were in good hands as Mike and Justin know very little. Now we're blessed by two pros joining us to share their knowledge and music choices in this classic trilogy of games.

This week: Fatal Fury gets Wolfgang Kruiser in City of the Wolves, Punk declares Invincible Vs "one of the worst fighting games ever made" after the open beta, and MenaRD vs. Daigo goes down April 29th—first-to-10, no excuses. Meanwhile, Tekken 8's Season 3 patch got review-bombed so hard Bandai Namco dropped an emergency hotfix, Harada's out, and the community is treating the Discord feedback portal like group therapy.On the brighter side: Jam's back in Guilty Gear Strive 2.0, Akali hit 2XKO, and Avatar Legends launches July 2nd with rollback and crossplay for $29—finally, a licensed fighter that gets it. But the real chaos? Max put a $10K bounty on UMVC3 rollback and the internet told him to add another zero. Oh, and Capcom Cup 13 has no LCQ, four spots already locked for Japan, and we're all pretending this is fine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week: Pickmon's pivoting their marketing—hopefully to something that makes sense—while PlayStation hunts for their "biggest fans" to scan their faces into Gran Turismo 7. Nothing says "we value the community" like turning your most loyal players into digital NPCs. Meanwhile, Take-Two laid off their AI team right after Nexon called Arc Raiders a "Trojan Horse" for proving controversial AI tools can build triple-A hits with smaller teams. The irony is so thick you could spread it on toast.In other chaos: Stop Killing Games had their day in the European Parliament and apparently crushed it, leaked GTA Online revenue data sent Take-Two's stock soaring, and the new Xbox CEO reportedly admitted in a leaked memo that Game Pass "has become too expensive for players." It's been a week of leaks, layoffs, and corporate face-scanning. Standard operating procedure, really. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Read transcriptSome magical girl stories are content with sparkly transformations and heartfelt speeches. This is not one of those stories. This time on Play Comics we're warping through the glitter-strewn chaos of Sailor Moon: Another Story, the Super Famicom RPG that took the 90s manga and anime vibes, mashed them with branching timelines and turn-based redemption arcs, and asked, “What if destiny needed a save state?” It's console combat where emotional baggage weighs more than your inventory, and every villain monologue comes with a friendship discount. Chris isn't battling cosmic paradoxes solo though. Cass Proffitt from Distant Echoes jumps into the senshi squad to help unpack how this game balances moon crystal lore with JRPG grind, and whether it's a radiant tribute to Sailor Moon or just the sparkliest timeline meltdown in gaming history. Together they're digging into what survived the trip from Naoko Takeuchi's pages to console controllers, complete with overdramatic plot twists and Jupiter's undefeated punch stat. Dust off your brooch, queue the theme song, and prepare for senshi squad analysis laced with villain rehab debates and moon prism power-ups that hit different on pixelated screens. Learn such things as: Why Another Story might actually be canon. Sort of. Maybe. How localization shaped the Western Sailor Moon fandom. What the point of it all is if you don't even have a cat to help guide you along the way. And so much more! You can find Cass on their podcast Distant Echoes.

You can read the full thoughts from CountZeroOr here: Why we never got them? Well, I'd probably say it's a combination of a couple factors: First, for much of the 16-bit console generation (and the 8-bit console generation before that), there was still a very considerable anti-Japan bias in terms of marketing of console games, based on the idea that American audiences wouldn't buy anything actively presented as being Japanese, so Anime presentations were out (this is part of the reason why the first Ranma 1/2 fighting game was changed into “Street Combat”) – the Golgo 13 games were viewed as something of an outlier. While some later titles in the 90s would take chances on presenting themselves as being more anime (i.e. Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle), they were also titles for properties generally marketed to guys, as also around this time video game marketing was increasingly getting more gendered, something that would continue throughout the 90s and into the 2000s and beyond. As a property targeted for girls, Sailor Moon didn't fit in the gender essentialist marketing plans of the video game industry. The fact that, since it's a RPG, it also has a ton of text to localize and translate (versus to the Sailor Moon beat-em-ups), certainly didn't help. The next episode is going to be Uncanny X-Men. That's right, we're taking another look at the NES game. What are your experiences with this one? If they remade it today what characters would you want included that weren't in the original?

In this episode Gino, Em, and Pete play their first Yakuza game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon! We cover the game's bonkers story, classic JRPG combat, and rediculous characters. We also cover the game's ability to highlight marginalized people while also making violence the answer to almost every problem. Like a Dragon is a game of contrasts. Unfortunately, Em's two hour explanation of the rules of Mahjong had to be cut for time. However, I assure you it was riveting.

We start the show talking about the new food at Fenway and which disease you're going to get while eating food that will bankrupt you. Monster Hunter Stories 3 is a very fun JRPG set in the Monster Hunter universe. Another live service game is dead as The Cube, Save Us is shutting down in about three weeks.

I miss you so much."The Lisa series returns to Pixel Project Radio as we discuss Lisa the Joyful, the Kickstarter goal-turned-sequel to Austin Jorgen's cult hit Lisa the Painful. Joyful picks up as Buddy, Olathe's last living woman/girl. After the wake of Brad's self-satisfying redemptive warpath, she finally knows autonomy. Aaron (Super Pod Network) joins to discuss whether Joyful is able to ask the uncomfortable, meaningful questions that Painful asked of the players...or whether it lives meekly in the shadow of its older sibling. This, a brief look at the insane music, discussions on character depiction, and more. Hope you love the show today.

These chaps are action PACKED!!! (Chaps means “chapters” of course). Guts and crew are in perfect sync as a classic fantasy JRPG party, fulfilling their roles perfectly as they battle hundreds of the Kushan's “daka” soldiers, more enchanted tigers, and a dozen or so of the elephant snouted “Makara” from previous chapters. But…when the going gets really tough, will Schierke be able to bring Guts back from the brink of Berserking on everyone in the Berserk-verse when his Berserker Armor takes over his mind and makes him even more Berserk-ee than his normall Berserk levels???!!!!
