Reiwa Gaming Podcast ReiwaGamingPodcast

2020 is turning out to be a year full of surprises and new things, mostly bad unfortunately, but luckily the Reiwa Gaming Podcast is still here. Join us this episode as we talk about some of the games we’ve been playing recently and make some light-hearted predictions for Sony’s big PlayStation 5 reveal event. 
It’s also week 3 of our (Game)Shark Tank miniseries. Who could be the next host to pitch his game idea? Will it be Mike? Aaron? A special guest host? Will it be a sequel to Matt’s Fresh Prince of Bel Air RPG? Stick around to find out! Stay safe everyone!

This week‘s games played section starts off innocently enough, but quickly evolves into the “Persona 5 Appreciation Awards” when the hosts can’t stop gushing about it. We also briefly touch on the current state of VR and Nick discusses his recent play though of Pixel Ripped 1995. In the news, we give our take on the Xbox Series X event fiasco and what our interpretation of the phrase “Actual Gameplay” really means.

We also enter the second week of our (Game)Shark Tank mini series that tasks each host to pitch a game idea that they would love to be made. This week Matt is up, and if you‘ve learned anything about Matt so far, you know to never under estimate his ability to surprise you. Will his pitch go off without a hitch? Will he be able to declare “I am Legend!” when it’s done because his pitch was a home run? Will he be a bad boy and pitch another anime dating sim? Strap in, it’s gonna be a wild ride for sure! Thanks for listening! Stay safe everyone!

We’re back!!! It’s been a month and we’re sorry for the delay. But we’re here and ready to talk about some stuff, and boy, do we talk in this one.  Japan isn't currently on a strict lockdown, but many of us here are trying to stay home as much as possible and its giving us all a bit of cabin fever. This weeks episode is a weird one. Weird and funny. And a little long. The best combo for trying times like these. Especially when your stuck inside. We start out as usual talking about what we’ve been playing since the last episode, mainly Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Then we talk about the news just a bit. And finally we get to our new host segment, which is a mini series this time called.......(Game)Shark Tank™. Each week in this new mini series, a different host will need to pitch an original game idea that they came up with to the rest of the hosts, field questions about it, and try to secure fake internet funding to produce the game. The first week kicks off with Nick‘s game pitch, and while starting off serious, very rapidly devolves in to chaos.  We hope you enjoy the show and as always, thanks for listening! Stay safe everyone! 14:00 Animal Crossing 50:15 Final Fantasy VII Remake 83:21 News 95:00 (Game)Shark Tank Week 1 - Nick Ending Theme: Zelda’s Lullaby - Freestyle, Emunator (OC Remix)

*Disclaimer* We had some trouble with our recording bot this week (damn you Craig!) so the editing was extra tricky. If the audio or conversations don’t match up exactly sometimes don’t worry, we aren’t losing our minds. The recording bot was adding in blank space no reason. It’s probably fine, but just in case, Sorry!!!

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining us! It’s not like you have anywhere to be anyways since most people are stuck in their houses... This week we are down to three hosts. Nick unfortunately had to be a responsible adult and take care of his sons and wasn’t able to make it to the recording session. Hooray parenthood.... But fear not, Mike, Matt and Aaron keep the ship sailing and this episode is good one with a variety of different topics, a whole lot of games discussion, and a little bit of news. Stay tuned as we are still trying to record a few special episodes in the coming weeks in addition to our normal episodes! As always, thanks so much for listening and we hope everyone stays safe!

Hey everyone. We reached our 10th regular episode. How does it feel? It feels pretty good!

This episode we dive into a bunch of news. The coronavirus is really messing things up all over the world and the games industry isn’t immune to it either.  This week‘s host segment is brought to you by Nick and he poses the question, “What decisions would you make this year if you were the Chairman of the Board for one of the major game companies. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft? What may have have been an easy question 3 months ago may not be so easy now.

As always thanks for listening. We appreciate all of you out there! Stay tuned because next week we are starting a new special series! ”The game-shark tank“ (tentative title...)
