Love the podcast. I used episodes to help inform my last trip to tokyo. Great host and guests. Highly recommend
Love the podcast. Been binging it as i can. You like Nintendo and japan. This is the podcast for you
This is only the second podcast I’ve found that dives into gaming culture based in Japan (8-4 is another good one). Really excellent cross section of my interests. Would love to see a dive into more obscure Japanese gaming (similar to the WonderSwan episode).
This podcast is like the perfect cross-section of my interests. The host is well-spoken and thoughtfully curates a show that gives us a slice of Japanese culture and mixes in the fun of Nintendo. Good production quality and the episodes are the perfect length. Highly recommend — and an excellent social media follow as well!
