The brothers praise the game for its uniqueness and good humor but had some issues with the outdated inventory management and menus.One of Ant's favorite parts of the game is the same part hated by Pete and Tom. Pete reveals some cool tidbits about the game's localization and rarest items; and brings to light how music from the game has been immortalized through an internet meme.Let us know what you thought of Earthbound by leaving a comment on any of our social platforms!Follow us onX @BrosBossBattlesInstagram @BrosBossBattleshttps://brothersandbossbattles.com/

It was a long week when our fearless leader EstoBro came down with a cold, and it was even worse that it happened over his birthday (2:00), which he does not necessarily wish anyone experiences at all. His co-host TV had all the sympathy for him, but their shared birthday celebration could only mean one thing: that summer is here and the Gents are ready to party! One thing EstoBro was fortunate to enjoy for his birthday celebrations was the release of the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (9:00), the latest installment of the popular Nintendo RPG series. The celebrated sequel of Breath of the Wild has taken the video game world by storm and has already sealed itself as an automatic phenomenon in the mystical adventure. After acknowledging the hectic weekend of the Electric Daisy Carnival, the Gents are only weeks away from EstoBro's bachelor party with going to Bonnaroo (28:30), and they can barely contain their excitement. The Gents were also shocked to see that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was upset by Fast X (37:00), the recent release of the Fast and Furious franchise; and it is safe to assume that they're not finished with that franchise anytime soon. With the small focus turned to sports, TV is hyped to celebrate that the Miami Heat are very close to returning to the NBA Finals (44:30), and gives the tip of the hat to Michael Block being an amateur at the PGA Championship that hit a hole-in-one. Finally, EstoBro wants to celebrate this year's issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition which features Martha Stewart on the cover (60:00). Who knew that America's favorite homemaker would turn into America's favorite GILF? Be sure to have a safe Memorial Day weekend and for all of our Florida listeners, start preparing your hurricane season safety plans because that follows right after the holiday.

We are joined this week by the birthday boy Symphonic313 and let me make sure I get this right RED_FOXX15 Streaming News Can the Dr Disrespect Rogue Company skin risk Twitch bans? Yesterday, Dr Disrespect tweeted out a reveal video for his new skin in Rogue Company. The collaboration included a Dr Disrespect skin for Dallas, that reflects his likeness to an almost life-like degree. Furthermore, a map called The Arena is also available for everyone to play. Now that the skin is available for everyone to purchase at $20, there's really no telling how many players will be running around Rogue Company as Dr Disrespect. That is great news for Doc and his fans. However, it can make things complicated for Twitch, and Shroud believes it could lead to bans. There has been no official confirmation on the Dr Disrespect skin and how it might affect Twitch streams. As far as anyone knows, it isn't against the rules to use that skin on a stream, but it's also a permanently banned streamer being promoted on Twitch's platform. It's possible that Twitch could even add in some new rules for this specific Dr Disrespect situation, which has happened before, when Nadeshot and Crimsix were forced to stream with Doc and didn't mute him. Foxx- How do you see this playing out from Twitch? Twitch Studio adds chat overlay and countdown timer tools Twitch has updated its livestreaming software with more features, which will give streamers more ways to make their broadcasts pop. With Twitch Studio, you can now copy and paste or duplicate layers or scenes so that you can make your stream's visual style more consistent. Let's say you usually place your webcam feed in the corner of the screen during your stream. If you want to position it in the bottom center for some games (i.e. to cover up the game code during an Among Us session), you can more easily create a scene with that single tweak and switch to it quickly mid-broadcast. There's also an option to add a chat overlay, so that messages from your community appear on-screen during your stream. Within the next few weeks, you'll be able to adjust the software's interface to your liking, simply by dragging panels from one place to another. A new timer and some tools to make it easier for console users to get up and running. Symphonic - This seems like a step in the direction but for a company that seems to neglect its affiliates why make tools for new streamers?THE GO LIVE SEGMENT Pokemon GO streamer has phone & car stolen while live on Twitch Pokemon GO took the world by storm in 2016, as players from all over ventured outside of their homes to catch their favorite monsters. The mobile title developed by Niantic brought the beloved Nintendo RPG to real life for millions. Unfortunately, because the game takes place in the real world, unexpected things can happen – from fans assaulting each other over Gyms, to even murder. On October 8, a streamer's broadcast quickly turned violent after they were mugged, much to the horror of their audience. Anthony ‘xDeezzNutzx' was broadcasting live on October 8 when his Twitch stream was abruptly brought to a halt. The player was trying to catch a Croagunk when a stranger attacked him. The thief can be heard telling the Pokemon fan “The f**k wrong with you?!” after they tried to resist the theft. The GO stream then cut off after the criminal stole the player's phone. They also made off with his car. Stump - Once again someone is mugged during an irl stream. Is going out in public worth it?Gaming News https://www.tableoc.com/2020/10/15/does-the-ps5-ui-live-up-to-the-next-gen-console-hype/ PlayStation has finally revealed what they call a “pre-production” UI; as it might undergo minor changes when the console finally releases. One important thing to note is that the new PlayStation UI was built for 4k tv's from the ground up and thus the UI will be in 4k HDR at all times if your monitor can support 4k and HDR of course. One of the new features that you are greeted with in the start of the video is the control center. It has a very clean look and allows you to access anything on the PS5 without having to exit your game, making it easy to check whether or not your friends are online simply, without the need to minimize the game. Interactive notifications are also new and these allow you to interact with a notification such as a voice channel request by simply tapping the PlayStation button. This removes the need to minimize games and having to scroll to the voice channel section, also if you didn't know the Dual sense controllers feature a built in mic and mute button making it even easier than ever to talk to your friends. Foxx - Playstation has seemingly made some great quality of life changes for their players. How are you leaning in the console war? PS5 Does Not Record Your Voice Chats, Sony Confirms The recent 8.0.0 update for the PS4 introduced new functionality for voice chats in parties that will go live when the PS5 launches, and pop-ups alerted players can these chats "may be recorded." People naturally became concerned about this, and specifically regarding conspiracy theories about how Sony might be listening in. That isn't the case, however. The Ask PlayStation UK account said on Twitter, "We do not record party chats." The purpose of the recording functionality is to give people the ability to record chats and submit them for a moderation review. The feature is only available on PS5, but the pop-up notification that is appearing now is alerting PS4 users that when they are in a chat with a PS5 player, those recordings can be sent to Sony for moderation review. Symphonic - Are you buying this? What implications might this have for 2 party consent states? Video gaming as a child related to improvements in memory In a new study, which features in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, researchers from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya in Barcelona trained volunteers to play “Super Mario 64” — a game that researchers have previously shown to induce structural changes in parts of the brain associated with executive function and spatial memory. The new study found that people who played video games as children showed greater improvements in their working memory than those who did not, suggesting that video games can have long lasting benefits for cognition. Stump - As 90s kids I feel like we should be rubbing this in a lot of parents faces.Entertainment News Dexter fans have mixed feelings on Showtime limited series revival As any fan of Dexter can attest to, the show has had many ups and downs. Despite starting off strong, its final season was universally hated by critics, and its lumberjack ending was mocked online for years. On October 14, Showtime surprised viewers when it announced that actor Michael C. Hall would be returning to play the serial killer once again in a new limited time series. Fans, however, are torn on the franchise getting a second chance. Many fans reacted to the news negatively, citing its final season and poor writing, such as a Twitter user that exclaimed, “hopefully he kills whoever wrote the last season.” Another fan agreed and criticized the show's previous showrunner: “If Scott Buck is involved, I won't be watching, frankly.” Red - Yet another series revival is upon us. How will this play out now that the fans seems to be turning on it from the get go? Reports claim Netflix's subscription prices could increase again soon While Netflix has some fantastic content, the company is also known for raising their prices every few years. What once was an simple, flat $8 subscription fee here in the United States can now range anywhere from $9 for the most basic membership to $16 for a premium membership. Because of this, it's unreasonable to assume the company would stop raising prices now, especially when Netflix is as popular as ever – and, just like always, consumers will more than likely be ok with it. Now, it seems like we might be on the cusp of yet another increase, according to one analyst and Deadline. Alex Giaimo says that he thinks the price jump will most likely hit Europe and will be an increase of $1 to $2 a month. That being said, an increase in America is not out of the question either, and it's currently unclear if there's a possibility of both areas of the world being affected. The one unknown in all of this is the timing. While Giaimo says that the increase will probably happen in the “near to midterm,” it's unknown exactly what that means. Could we be seeing an announcement within the next few weeks or the next few months? It's all up in the air. Symphonic - It feels to me like it's been awhile since a price increase and we have gotten a lot of quality originals. How do you feel about a possible increase? John Cena got married! John Cena and girlfriend Shay Shariatzadeh secretly tied the knot on Mon., Oct. 12. In a great moment for dirt sheets everywhere, the story was first reported by PWInsider, but quickly confirmed by the likes of TMZ and E! The couple, who started dating in 2019 after Cena's headline-grabbing split with Nikki Bella, had a private ceremony in Tampa. It's the second marriage for the 43 year old WWE legend, and the first for his 31 year old Canadian bride. Shariatzadeh hails from Vancouver; the tech exec met Cena while he was in British Columbia filming Playing With Fire. Stump - Do you think people chanted cena sucks at his wedding?BOLD PREDICTIONS Dr. Strange wont have a part 3.Netflix will improve their series renewal record to above 25% next year from their single digit numbers.

The accusation that we three cents are just a bunch of Nintendo fanboys is usually unfounded! Especially given Chris’ notorious love of all things Mega Drive, and Jonathan’s salacious affair with the Sega Saturn library! But in an episode that touches on the three big Nintendo RPG series, it’s hard to argue that we don’t absolutely flipping love Nin-ruddy-tendo! Swords, shields, monsters and incest - the main pillars of many games, are all present here! We also take some time to discuss the ongoing questing of Minty and his dragons whilst he attempts to escape rooms on his phone; Jonathan having a wonderful time venturing into the blind forest with Ori, and Chris’ tremendous disappointment with poorly ported retro games! It’s all good fun!

At this rate, it'll take ya 100 more podcasts to catch me! Welcome back to NOCLIP! This week we're going to be talking about Super Mario RPG, Square's take on the Mario franchise and the first RPG to carry Mario's name. Square handling a Nintendo RPG seems like a natural fit, and their touch is noticeable here. However, Nintendo's influence can be seen as well, and a lot of the "Mario" elements are the things that make the game feel unique. We're going to talk about the evolution of the RPG, tedium in combat and Wario's secret identity! Thanks for listening to NOCLIP again this week, and join us next time when we talk about Ori and the Blind Forest!

It was a wild and woolly Saturday evening as Nintendo World Report raised over $4,000 for Child's Play and we got to work with our friends at RPGamer - Chris and Anna Marie Privitere - to determine the best Nintendo system for RPGs ever. This recording is the result. There were laughs, tears and the birth of a new, probably offensive analogy. A grand time was had by all. And yes, we worked a little blue as well. Special thanks to James Jones for running the audio recording for this and keeping it straight for thirteen and a half hours. If you haven't chipped in yet, the donation box will be open until Saturday.
No updates required to enjoy our WiiU day 1 impressions, and it comes with a free Halbred! Step right up and enjoy the latest gaming goodness from the Nintendo Free Radio crew. Stephen gets the now-traditional music game out of the way early in New Business by touching on the Ubisoft creation app Jam Sessions, which draws comparisons to Windows 3.1, before getting stuck with Austen on the latest Nintendo RPG/platformer hybrid Paper Mario Sticker Star. Donald accepts his WiiU-less fate by going ungodly old school with Donkey Kong: Original Edition (it's a CEMENT factory, thankyouverymuch) and shockingly doesn't want to punch himself out after partaking in Urban Champion (3D Classics), before wrapping with an extended and spirited discussion of the demo for Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. Austen brings us to the break with a wrap-up of Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation, proof that one can play Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 without having to deal with the average internet user, and unleashes holy hell (and man beams) in El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron. After the break, a wild Halbred appears as the crew ropes in Nintendo World Report features editor Zach Miller for a heavy round of Whatcha Been Watchin' that travels from the sewers of New York in TMNT 2012 to the local arcade for Wreck-It Ralph and wraps in London with Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century, Goldeneye, QI, and Where On Earth is Carmen Sandiego? Also included: The finals of the "Weirdest Anime Ever" contest, between FLCL and Hellsing Ultimate. Since this show was taped on November 18th, of course the feature discussion is Wii U: Day 1. Zach and Stephen both got their systems day 1, and despite the best efforts of upgrade servers manage to touch on the Wii transfer process, the eShop, and Stephen's early impressions of Nintendoland. An extra helping of Mushrooms takes us out with love for This Year Collection (http://www.thisyearcollection.org) and free dumping, hatred of Alaskan rocks, and a host falling on his sword (but recovering to help unlock Red Velvet). We will return in a couple of weeks, but you can leave feedback for the show here or by sending an email to nintendofreeradio@gmail.com. Also, be sure to check out the Movember page of Ryan MacNeil (Donald's roommate) at http://mobro.co/ryanmacneil1 and hear Zach regularly on NWR's Connectivity and the Frozen North Dinnercast at Crosstawk (http://www.crosstawk.com/newbusiness/category/the-frozen-north-dinnercast).
