  6. Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship with William Morgan (The Geek Gauntlet Podcast)

    Every kid who ever begged a parent for money to hit GameStop on release day understands the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship series in their bones: it’s the same card game, sold back to you once a year, wearing a slightly fancier hat each time. Konami ran this bit from 2003 to 2006 with the discipline of a Swiss watchmaker and the restraint of absolutely nobody when it came to naming the things. Four games! Four years! Somehow four completely different amounts of the word “World Championship” crammed into each title!

    And somewhere in that run, things got weird. By the last entry, Konami had apparently decided Yugi, Kaiba, and the rest of the cast had done enough work, and quietly let you duel the actual monster cards instead, like the whole show got replaced by its own trading cards in some kind of legal dispute. There’s also a tiny RPG town nobody asked for, a cartridge somehow refereeing six languages at once, and just enough real cardboard cards taped inside the box that there’s a real argument the packaging outsold the game.

    Grabbing a seat at the table to help me sort genuine dueling nostalgia from pure cardboard-fueled compulsion is William Morgan, host of The Geek Gauntlet Podcast, self-billed as the fastest hour in podcasting, a claim that tracks given how fast he and the crew burn through a week’s worth of comics, movies, anime, and gaming news.

    So keep an eye on your Life Points, don’t forget your face-downs, and let’s find out if the World Championship series was Konami’s finest run of Game Boy dueling, or just years of very well-packaged déjà vu.

    Learn such things as:

    • Why do I think this is so weird but yearly sports games aren’t?
    • How far back into a game’s ruleset can you go if you weren’t there when it was current?
    • Who bought the game for the game, and who bought it just for the included card?
    • And so much more!

    You can find William on The Geek Gauntlet Podcast.

    If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

  14. I'm currently exploring the weirder corners of the DS library. The heck is this? Pokemon Go before it was cool?

    Best as I can tell, it's a game where you walk around collecting 2.4 GHz wifi signals. Gotta cache them all! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure

  17. So, I was talking #Castlevania with a friend of mine, and telling her about how cool Shanoa is.

    I'll admit, Order of Ecclesia is my favourite game in the franchise.

    But I can't believe I had totally forgotten about this absolute gem of a line from the game.
    10/10. Absolute bad-ass.

    Perhaps it does help that it is a clear reference to Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, another one of my all-time favourite Castlevania games.

  20. #Disneyfriends for #Nintendods is surprisingly addictive comparble to #socialmedia. Or #tomagatchi games. This surprised me for an offline title when I randomly picked the game up physically out of curiosity.

    For a few reasons this game seemed addictive. It wasn't that it was addictive but it had curious modern smartphone or live service game- like features.

    1. Daily challenges you can do once per day. For certain Disney friends such as #stitch or Simba. Such as taking specific snapshots of varying scenarios daily.

    2. There are events that you get notified to attend usually based on a specific date on the ds.

    3. You are encouraged to pet, feed, "chat' with and other actions to earn guardianpoints to increase your guardian rank. You can only rank up so much a day but you can rank up more points per day when you unlock more Disney friends.

    4. There are even certain challenges that you can do at anytime but you'll actually be forced to wait a few hours before you can replay it again. Such as the Simba bug eating race challenge. Some again you can only do once a day.

  23. @COMPU73E @irgndsondepp Neat screenshots like these are one of the benefits of CFW. And I can just open a hotspot from my phone, FTP into the 3DS and transfer the screenshots. It's a fun rabbit hole - the homebrew community is wild - fan translations and modded Pokemon games, Jellyfin and Youtube clients and all kinds of interesting apps.

  26. "Did he homebrew this?" 🤔 SMT Devil Survivor inspired me to finally mod my 3DS :trainer:

    I don't know how this got past Nintendo, but the game literally begins with a protagonist handing out consoles - that absolutely look like Nintendo 3DS consoles - with custom firmware and another person hacking the encryption 😂

  35. About every five years or so, usually when I'm cleaning up, I find my copy of this cursed game. Its single solitary upside is that, back in the day, I got paid to review it.

    I should have held out for more money on reflection. The PTSD is real.
