Easy Allies Podcast #95 - January 17th 2018

Gal*Gun Double Peace have NOTHING from the title anywhere on its back cover. Conception 2: Children of the Seven Stars has the word "Children" and "Star" but you can't see the actual title anywhere. Conception is nowhere to be found. They use the world "classmating" instead. Moe Chronicles back cover don't have any of the words on the back cover. But it has "Rub, poke and squeeze! Over the top NUDE `<3 FLASH". It's such a perfect back cover. Have fun reading those boxes back cover guys. :P

The logo totally counts!

The SNK conversation was great.

Gan Khef

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (Switch) only has The Legend of Zelda. Super Mario Odyssey only has Mario on the back. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is nowhere on the back.

The SNK game sounds terrible to me, it comes across as boring, cliched, and forgettable without strong characterization. I agree with Damiani, a game that seems to feature women in bikinis will struggle to be taken seriously by Western audiences.

BLOODBORNE is nowhere to he found on the back of the box, I want them Damiani Kuddos.

Eric Estrada

Killzone 2 steel book edition only have small killzone trademark on the back.

CORRECTION for Kyle: We're not getting episode 2 of Detective Pikachu in Japan; we'll be getting the same package as the West that contains both the original game and the newly added content (available digitally and physically). The DL version will be 1,500 yen cheaper if you purchased the original game back in the day. However, this is still annoying as someone who played the original game at launch because I'll need to replay through the first game again to see the new story.

Chris Orr

did i just hear say huber say that he had a friend named Tien that had a magical Dragonball (game) that he Dragonball'd with and that point got zero attention Tien getting snubbed, even a 'Yamcha' would've earned a double take there

Andrew Silverman

Do you guys have access to a rooftop? You could play Mario Tennis up there.

Derrick DesRoches

INTERESTING CORRECTION: Tom Hanks didn't have to audition for Toy story, rather the creators wanted him specifically for the roll. They approached him with an animated cowboy clip that had Tom Hank's audio lifted from Turner and Hooch. <a href="https://www.bustle.com/articles/129240-toy-story-at-20-explains-how-tom-hanks-tim-allen-came-to-be-woody" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.bustle.com/articles/129240-toy-story-at-20-explains-how-tom-hanks-tim-allen-came-to-be-woody</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihTsIb76mcg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihTsIb76mcg</a>

Not sure how common this is, but last year and just this week I imported Gundam Breakers 3 and Gintama Rumble. Neither received worldwide releases, but both were released to South East Asian countries with English subtitles, which is pretty rad. Play-Asia is a great website for importing stuff, so Kyle, if you've ever wanted to play Summer Lesson with English subtitles you can do so via Play-Asia.

Paladin Butters the Merciful :D

Hotel Mario only has the logo on the back of the box, it does not mention "Hotel Mario" anymore than that ! In the screenshot, you see it on the sides, but those are the sides of the jewel case and not the back of the box ! <a href="https://images.launchbox-app.com/699440d7-41d6-4388-ac7d-ee6e60badda8.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://images.launchbox-app.com/699440d7-41d6-4388-ac7d-ee6e60badda8.jpg</a>

Episode 100 Spectacular, get Don in the panel.

César Villa

Crazy suggestion for episode 100. Run the news as usual with the 4 person panel. Then after podcast halftime enter into a special set of love and respect where all of the podcast allies come out and play with team based l&amp;r games. I am not good with the games but I am sure this amazing community can come up with some. Do the common pairings like bosman and Brandon / Damiani and Huber/ etc. have don host the questions. Great way to celebrate 100 and all of the allies that have been on the podcast It is crazy to me that y’all have surpassed GT Time. I came in around after the year of dreams freak out but stayed for the GT Time for the next 7 months. It was when y’all came back that I subbed because I needed that gt Time goodness.

Dale Payne

Wow, that 100 episode question got DEEP into GT history. Didn't expect that, but it was fun to listen to. Guess I'll have to wait for 5 more podcasts to find out for sure. ☺

Matt Brookbank

Correction: Japan is not hyper sexual, its you in the States and to a lesser degree in the UK and Australia who are scaringly desexualized. Also guys you really need to remove those sticks from your behinds, you will be able to sit much much more comfrotably without them :)

erni

CORRECTION: The game store associated with Blockbuster was called "GameRush"

Larry DuPreez III

So, I went and searched for that Ted Price interview. Who is this person?! Feels like it's an alternate reality. o_O <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9mvOoPKBuk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9mvOoPKBuk</a>

I can't wait for that special Huber Syndrome!

MistahShowtime

That gorgeous gorillas victory call is gonna be like getting 52 gifts from Brad this year.

Raven Perez

I thought about this one: wallscover.com/images/wild-arms-5-6.jpg It does say "Wild Arms" in the legal text, but never "Wild Arms 5", not even on the spine. And I'm a little sad you left out Hyrule Warriors and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

I may have an idea for the 100th podcast. Invite some of the guys from the old GT days. Ryan, Marcus, Elyse, Shane, Pachter, etc. And do some segment where you talk about the past and future of videogames and good old memories. Celebrating where EZA came from and where it is now. L&amp;R Stefan

Stefan Vlemmix

Loved the import discussion. I imported almost ever gaming console/game I had, up-to the current gen. Was an extremely expensive habit, but necessary in the days before global releases. Paid over £900 for my japanese PS2, a bit less for my Japanese Gamecube and over a £1000 for a US XBOX, all to get them months before they were due to come out over here. Kinda glad that the game companies have stopped all this staggered release nonsense. My wallet is considerably heavier these days :)
