Looks like we're going to have a two man show this weekend! Actually, I should say a one man, one woman show. I'll be teaming up with Mom Brain to crank out episode 451. We'd love it if you came back to this post around 3:15 PM East Coast time to watch live. We'd love it even more if you joined our IRC and talked it up with fellower viewers and us as well! Hope to see you here later!

Post will be updated with video embed as we get closer to start time.

Nintendo, you can come on out and tell us you're localizing the game. It's okay, pretty much everyone knows by now!

The following comes from an ONM interview with Hisashi Koinuma, vice president of Tecmo Koei.

"I think our success comes from considering what is best for every (Dynasty Warriors) title, and from never giving up on advancing. There are parts of the source material and also of the Warriors franchise to which we have to remain faithful. We think about the parts that are valuable to each. What is important is that the end result is very good for both properties." - Koinuma

A portion of a Nintendo Life review...

The amount of content accessible without spending any money is unfortunately limited, but it's easy enough to haggle Rusty down to a buck or two for each of his titles. At the very least, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball is worth downloading. You can decide for yourself how much money you want to spend on it.

Super Mario Land:

– Development was handled by a team consisting of eight R&D1 members; noone from the Super Mario Bros. development team – not even Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto – was involved.
– The core development team – producer Gunpei Yokoi, director Satoru Okada and designer Hirofumi Matsuoka – had worked together with Intelligent Systems on Famicom Wars before Super Mario Land. Famicom Wars was released in August 1988. That means that development of Super Mario Land started around August 1988 and did take approximately six to nine months.
– Compared to Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, the development time was short. Also, the development team did not have experience developing a Mario game. These two points caused the game to be glitchy, short and a bit weird.
– Yokoi and Okada were also the main engineers working on the Game Boy. Super Mario Land might have started as a kind of intern tech demo.

Super Mario Bros.:

– It is often claimed that the development team of the original Super Mario Bros. consisted of the following six people: Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka (designers), Koji Kondo (composer) and Toshihiko Nakago, Kazuaki Morita and Yasunari Nishida (programming).
– While there are sources proving that Miyamoto, Tezuka, Kondo, Nakago and Morita were involved in the project (e.g. Iwata asks), there is now such proof for Nishida.
– The operator of the website Kyoto-Report.wikidot.com that deals with the history of Nintendo confirmed to us that Nishida was in fact not part of the development team.
– We believe that this misconception derives from a misinterpretation: The pseudonym "Yachan" which is listed as a programmer in the credits of The Legend of Zelda was interpreted as "Yasunari Nishida", but in fact the Nintendo programmer Yasunari Soejima was behind that pseudonym.
– Because of that, the development team of Super Mario Bros. only consisted of five developers, and Yasunari Nishida was not one of them.
