5 stars for Christmas!
Great podcast i’ve been listening to for years now. Lots of Japanese game talks and related culture talk.
Listen up!
Awesome Japanese videogame insights
The best Japanese and Destiny focused podcast on the internet with mark Gaming Jesus McDonald.
An entertaining biweekly 8-4 bump of (mostly Japanese) gaming news
This podcast is a recommendation to anyone who enjoys to listen to opinionated enthusiasts about videogames. The podcast crew is based in Japan and works in various fields of video games, most notably translation. Due to the roots some of the podcast members have in the enthusiastic press (EGM, 1UP), the podcasts have a usually well informed view on things.
The podcast also features regular guests from the video game industry or media, and sometimes even does specials on Japanese focused video game consoles or game series, such as the SNES, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.
The crew has humor and the editing of some of the episodes can sometimes be hilarious due to inserted audio clips and episode-specific intro and outro music.
All in all the best biweekly (gaming) podcast on iTunes.
