Negative World Podcast 057 - The Koopa with the Pink Sunglasses

Happy New Year's Eve! It's been over a month since the last podcast despite we recorded this in early December. Between a very busy week immediately after recording and then the holidays, I apologize but I hope this episode finds you well. Today is the last day of 2013 and I made a promise to you and the myself that this would release before the year's end.

DrFinkelstein and Ninsage are joined by an old friend, Roykoopa64, the Koopa with the pink sunglasses.

The show starts and ends with a special tribute to the late Danny Wells so please stay tuned throughout! As for what's inside... you'll find the guys talk about Super Mario 3D World, Pokemon X&Y, as well as The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. After a shorter round of Box Art Trivia, they dive in to a lengthy discussion of the games they've played this past year.

A big thanks to Negative World's creator, Zero for the theme music. This episode showcases some great tracks from Super Mario 3D World in the interludes.

Negative World Podcast 056 - Pokemon N&W

The Negative World crew goes Poke-crazy in this Pokemon-centric episode. Clocking in at over two and a half hours, there's enough podcast to fill a Snorlax's belly!

DrFinkelstein and Ninsage invite two of Negative World's finest, Super_Conzo and Deathly_Hallows.

The thing is, they're both new to the Pokemon series with Pokemon X&Y. At first we get a glimpse into what their current Pokemon rosters look like. Considering everybody starts off in the same place, there is surprising diversity between everyone. Then the gang dives into the nitty gritty of Pokemon and specifically Pokemon X&Y. From the graphics to the Pokemon typing, and even an interesting look at the true potential of the Mega Evolution concept, this podcast has something for everyone.

A big thanks to Negative World's creator, Zero for the theme music. This episode lacks interlude music because there's just so much content, I couldn't bare to pad it further with music. Though I highly recommend to check out the various Pokemon soundtracks. They're quite stellar.

Negative World Podcast 055 - Tadpole in the Family

Episode 55 is a special episode indeed, and not just for repeating numbers...

DrFinkelstein and Ninsage sit down with Negative World's own TriforceBun (Matthew Taranto) in an extended interview.

For the first half, the trio discusses Matthew's webcomic, Brawl In The Family... which as of this podcast publishing contains 525 comics! The second half of the show is an in-depth look at the heart and soul of Matthew's new game, Tadpole Treble. He just launched a Kickstarter and so far it's going strong. Will you support Matthew and Tadpole Treble? You can do so at the Tadpole Treble Kickstarter Page. Listen to find out what makes this music-rhythm game unique and why it isn't quite a prequel to Blaster Master... despite the hopes and dreams of Ninsage.

A big thanks to Negative World's creator, Zero for the theme music. This episode lacks interlude music, but the special inclusion you hear at the start is actually a piece of Matthew's The History of Nintendo, a special animated webcomic he did for the 400th comic milestone.

Negative World Podcast 054 - Wind Woken

"As wide as the world is, I am the only boat upon it who can speak the words of men."
- King of Red Lions

This episode brings you a uniquely formatted change of pace, somewhat. First off you'll hear DrFinkelstein, Ninsage and another newcomer, Hero_Of_Hyrule. That's the third new guest in a row! Awesome!

This time around, instead of doing a Now Playing series of discussions the guys tackle a Group Review-like-like discussion of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker considering the HD Remake released just in the past handful of weeks. Then with that wrapped up, the gang hits upon some key topics from the Nintendo Direct held on October 1st.

A big thanks to Negative World's creator, Zero for the intro and outro themes. The interlude music is from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker of course!

Negative World Podcast 053 - Zetroidvania

See that can? Episode 53 is in it!

In this episode you'll find, DrFinkelstein, Ninsage and newcomer, TheOldManFromZelda discussing all sorts of topics!

The guys go through the games they're playing which includes Pikmin 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Earthbound, and more. There's also a small discussion regarding the late Hiroshi Yamauchi, Nintendo's former President. The gang discusses what Wii Fit U and Wii Sports Club means to them and finally dives into the interesting topic of whether or not changing a genre within a franchise can freshen things up. Do the guys think it's a good idea or a stinky one? Listen to find out. Plus, there's a couple unique game ideas that are a must-listen... /oversell?

As per usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner, Zero. The interlude music is from Super Smash Brothers Brawl but specifically the Earthbound tunes in honor of that being a game TheOldManFromZelda has been tackling!
