The Famicast

The holiday game season has officially kicked off and the Famicrew are a man down, but they’re still here to talk about some of the best releases of October. To kick things off in New Business, the guys talk Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on the Switch 2, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Marvel: Cosmic Invasion and more. After a short break, it’s time for the JAPANews with some discussion on the Game Boy Advance additions to Nintendo Classics for October, the discontinuation of one of the first video services on the Switch and a whole can of worms on differences in opinion regionally about a rom-hack of an old fighting game. After some Anime Trash abounds with Ty the boys close out the show.
