Nintendo’s library contains a wealth of classics.
With Nintendo’s refusal to show the NX at E3 2016 and their delay of the new Zelda title until 2017, and with PSN itself now more profitable than Nintendo’s entire business operation, SiliconNooB and Lusipurr once again despair for the fate of the Big N.
]]>Good luck!
Imitanis joins the podcast panel once again in search of Diablo III, SiliconNooB brings forth the bad–and the good–news about Final Fantasy XV, and Lusipurr wrestles with the schizophrenic controls of StarFox Zilch.
]]>Lancelot was at the forefront of the fight against Fort Mayne.
As Lancelot carries Arthur’s fight against Fort Mayne to every corner of Old England, Lusipurr and SiliconNooB wish that they had access to the Gramarye of those legendary days.
]]>Look, mom! In the game world, there are no interfering parents to stop me killing myself!
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB consider Nintendo’s changing audience demographics and unchanging business attitude, the decision to make Final Fantasy XV the first car-boot-based JRPG in history, and the shocking arrogance of the Final Fantasy VII Remake devs.
]]>Now YOU TOO can look grimly emo and depressed.
With the advent of Nomura’s long-awaited desire (turning Final Fantasy from a video game franchise into a fashion line), and Nintendo’s release of Miitomo (a content-free microtransaction-fuelled puerility zone), Lusipurr deploys scorn in great abundance.
]]>There is no linear correlation between money invested and game development success.
With Nintendo at variance with Nikkei over whether the Wii U will cease production in 2016, SiliconNooB and Lusipurr weigh in on the fate of an industry heavy-weight, and on lessons that the game developers should learn about focus and circumspection.
]]>Le Chevalier Mal Fet
Because Australians have not yet invented the concept of time, the switch to Daylight Savings Time completely befuddles SiliconNooB, leaving Lusipurr in the lurch. Blitzmage quickly steps into the breach with a dizzying array of non-Cricket news.
]]>Another book comes to an end.
LIONHEAD STUDIOS IS CLOSED. FABLE LEGENDS IS CANCELLED. ALL IS WELL.
]]>METAPHOR AGAIN.
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB expose all of the Project NX rumours in a podcast chock-full of literature and culture. Twilight Princess HD comes in for some criticism, and the announcement of SNES games on New 3DS causes some Australian discontent.
]]>Red or Blue?
The twentieth anniversary of Pokemon arrives, with Lusipurr and SiliconNooB choosing opposite sides of the issue: will it be Red or Blue as the superior option? Or will Blitzmage’s outside choice of Yellow prove Super Effective?
]]>“Come on in, little boys and girls.”
When Nintendo replaces the Fire Emblem: Fates script with the output from a meme generator, SiliconNooB demands that Treehouse be destroyed. Lusipurr, always more circumspect, suggests a political solution: the formation of a true Lusipurrean Empire.
]]>Some amiibo are created more equal than others.
When Nintendo makes significant portions of full-priced in-game content dependent upon access to exclusive special edition amiibo figurines, SiliconNooB boxes up his Wii U and Lusipurr breaks out the megaphone-o-ranting to lay bare Nintendo’s greed.
Update:
In the podcast we discussed entries in the summer fundraiser and I could not quite decide between $10 and $5 entries. We have figured out a way to do both. If the requested game is connected to the amiibo entrant purchased, the price will only be $5. If the game is not related to the amiibo purchased, the price will be $10.
Example:
Buy KIRBY and request UNLIMITED SAGA: $10
Buy KIRBY and request KIRBY’S ADVENTURE: $5
Stay tuned: Final, official rules and entry instructions are coming in May.
]]>The glory that is Poke-Bup. Bup-emon. Whatever.
After SiliconNooB forgets his evening tipple, sobreity rears its ugly head and renders him unfit for service. Bup bestirs himself long enough to ruin the podcast in SiliconNooB’s stead, despite Lusipurr’s best efforts to keep everyone focused on Pokemon.
]]>Valkyria Chronicles is a fantastic game.
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB try to discuss the Spring game selection, but end up talking about anime instead. Mighty No. 9 is delayed, and the history of the Saxons, Gaels, Picts, and Normans is detailed on the back of an England victory in South Africa!
]]>The Wild Arms 20th anniverary is almost upon us.
Whilst Merlin and Arthur discuss justice on the battlements, Lusipurr and SiliconNooB discuss underboob in the basement. South Africa rebounds in the Cricket, anime Star Trains are compared, and Final Fantasy XV gains the mechanics of Animal Crossing.
]]>Queen Morgause, wife to King Lot of Orkney
Dire portents reappear in the form of a crow with a stolen arrow in its beak, and strange happenings abound: Anime news dominates, England beat South Africa in South Africa, amiibos are weaponised against gamers, and Sony tries to copyright Let’s Plays.
]]>King Pellinore, in a moment of lucidity.
A sword, an anvil, and a stone feature prominently, as do board games, Cricket, virtual reality, and Star Trek, when SiliconNooB and Lusipurr put their feet up on the velvet ottoman of industry, and set about discussing the first developments of 2016.
]]>The resemblance to Santa Claus is no coincidence!
Steam fumbles the Christmas rush, the opposition crumbles in both(!) Boxing Day tests, SiliconNooB humbles his brother’s bumbled gift, and Lusipurr grumbles about irrational gamer consumerism in the first Lusipurr.com podcast of the year A.D. 2016.
]]>Happy Christmas from Lusipurr and SiliconNooB!
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB put their feet up in front of the fire and open a bottle of excellent cognac as they deliver the site’s annual worst-of-the-year awards, with a twist: for the first time ever, they inject some positivity into the equation.
]]>Happy Christmas from Lusipurr.com!
Having forgotten fans like Lusipurr and SiliconNooB, Square Enix is overcome by fear: will Persona 5 harm sales of Final Fantasy XV? Will people turn from the gilded baubles of CGI and hold-square-to-win gameplay? ‘Twould be a merry Christmas, indeed!
]]>Two Divided by Zero Equals Zero
When SiliconNooB brings to the podcast dire news of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Lusipurr nearly explodes with rage. In his incandescent fury, he pledges to use the site to destroy the business of Square Enix if the Australian’s prophecies come to pass.
]]>Midgar is an excellent metaphor for the Final Fantasy VII remake.
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB record a podcast which is suddenly interrupted not by fireworks but by the debut of a new Final Fantasy VII remake trailer, complete with the expected-and-deplored Kingdom Hearts-style battle system, prompting Lusipurrean fury.
]]>We have been here before.
When the efforts of censorious outrage-peddlers result in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 not being shipped for sale outside of Japan, gamer favourite Play-Asia steps into the breach to ensure that Western gamers will have access to extreme Beach Volleyball.
]]>Valkyria Chronicles is back in HD, with a sequel.
In a surprising development, Sega announces a high-definition remake of Valkyria Chronicles, and a long-awaited sequel for the PlayStation 4. Also, Mitchell Johnson hangs up his bowling shoes, England win an ODI series, and Project Setsuna looks glorious.
]]>More Pokemon–always a Lusipurr.com favourite.
Lusipurr and SiliconNooB record late into the night on the information overload resulting from the resumption of Nintendo Direct, whilst the XBox One goes backwards compatible, and Cricket comes to America in a trio of truly legendary All-Star matches.
