Negative World Podcast 032 - I'm Buying Freedom

Hey hey, NWP fans! DrFinkelstein hosts an all new episode and brings along some friends, Ninsage and Davoid. Ninsage lets us know what it's like having a Dreamcast in 2012 and Davoid talks a bit about Etrian and the game club. DrFink has been sinking his teeth into a double-whammy of Xenoblade and Rhythm Heaven Fever.

When the Doc asks, 'What Do You Fink?', the guys discuss Community's 'video-game' episode, the upcoming Kirby Compilation Disc, and the 'hardest platformer ever'.

After the break they continue on to the main topics and chat about Nintendo entering the realm of full digital downloads, the evolution of the 'casual' market, and what they're looking forward to most with E3 2012 just around the corner.

As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The music throughout the podcast is taken from The Lion King on the SNES. Stick around after the end credits to hear a super secret, but totally awesome, tip.
