We’ve got an emotionally impactful show this month, centered around Joe’s request for listeners to send us pieces of VGM that hit them right in the feels. They sent in some very heartfelt testimonials, and we share them all along with samples of the music!
Beyond that, we talk a bit about control schemes in games and whether simple or complex gets the job done best, and finish up the show with a look at “The E3 That Wasn’t,” focusing on the robust Nintendo Direct and its many fun announcements.
A huge thank you to Indira J (The Misadventures of Buddy and Friend, Sacrimony) for the amazing VGMbassy artwork and design, and to Jason Letourneau for the podcast theme song!
