This week the guys record one last podcast for the year. They talk Nintendo Smash Direct, Kojima officially done at Konami, Rocket League, Fallout 4 and Shawn Goff stops by with his hands on report form the PlayStation Experience.

The Yakuza series has always had a strong cult following. Originally released in Japan in 2005 by Sega from director Toshihiro Nagoshi, telling the story of Kazuma Kiryu of the Tojo Clan. Every time Japan would get a new game in the series, the West would beg and plead for Sega to localize it. With most of the main games of the series released in the west, minus Kenzan!, Ishin!, and the two PSP spin-offs, Yakuza 5 seemed that it would not be heading to the West anytime soon. Originally released in Japan in 2012, Sega said they could not afford to localize 5, that they did not have the manpower or money. But, thanks to Sony’s #BuildingTheList campaign, they announced in December 2014 that they would be partnering with Sega to release the game digitally on PSN in the west. Now almost one year to the date of that announcement, the game has been released. How does the three year old game hold up in the tail end of the PS3 lifecycle? Read on to find out!

This week its just Erik and Nathanael talking about Minecraft, Rocket League, Fallout 4. Playstation wins Black Friday, Minecraft on Wii U, Rocket League on XB1,TellTales Batman game and more!

Back in September we announced the release of MaxLander The worlds first NFC backup for Skylanders. Now those same folks have just announced NaMiiO, a USB backup device for you Amiibo. What sets this one apart from N2Elite (formally Amiiqo) is that it is PC compatible, no phone needed, and the software has a fully built in cheat system to instantly max out your Amiibo.

Rodea the Sky Soldier is one of those games I have been looking forward to for a long time. Originally, the game was to be released on the Wii in 2010 and a few years later it was announced for the 3DS. Now after 5 years, all three versions of the game are released at the same time (The Wii version bundled with first print copies of the Wii U version). Has the game been worth the wait after all this time?

At first look, most people would say that Freedom Planet is nothing more than a Sonic knock off. Well, they are maybe about 25% right. Freedom Planet by GalaxyTrail Games was originally a fan-created Sonic the Hedgehog game. Inspired by the 16-bit era Sonic, it was meant to pay homage to that fine series, but with original characters and a darker story than most classic Sonic games. In the end, Freedom Planet is a well-polished, 2D platformer that incorporates the best elements from the Sonic and other classic platformer games.

Disney Infinity 3.0 is the 3rd game in the toys-to-life genre to come out in as many years. While 2.0's The Avengers play set that was included in the starter set was a disappointment, there was hope that with 3.0's addition of Star Wars would not repeat the mistakes of 2.0. Is the Force strong with this game or has it turned to the Dark Side? Check out our review and find out how you can win our Disney Infinity 3.0 prize pack.

To say Skylanders is a hit for Activision is like saying that fish like water. As of February 2015, the Skylanders franchise has had over $3 billion in sales and sold over 250 million toys. This fall the fifth installment of the game will be released, Skylanders: Superchargers and along with the game, a whole new collection of toys and accessories. For some, they have to collect them all, others only new characters, but what if there was a way to have your entire collection at the touch of a button? Well, thanks to MaxLander there is.

I love the Sega Genesis. There are so many great games for that system. Phantasy Star, Shinobi, Golden Axe, the list goes on and on. But my favorite series was Streets of Rage. I am a huge fan of beat-em-ups. When M2 released 3D Streets of Rage on the 3DS I played it over and over for weeks. Now M2 has released 3D Streets of Rage 2 and as expected, it is as great as the original. 

The gang is back an this week they talk about Destiny, Shenmue Undub, Life Is Strange, Minecraft, Rocket League, Last of Us, the new console from China, Nintendo release dates, Maxlander, Rainbow Six delayed and more!

It is safe to say that Nintendo has scored big with the Amiibo's. Most are very hard to find, some are impossible. Flippers have really cashed in by taking advantage of the short supply and high demand, selling certain figures upwards of 10x their MSRP. Let's not forget about multi-child households having to buy multiples of each figure so each child can have their own figure. What if there was a way to not have to buy two of every figure, but also have all of them at your fingertips, their stats and data on one convenient device that works on your 3DS and Wii U? Enter the Amiiqo.
