Quick update

I beat Final Fantasy IV the other day, so I’ll be able to discuss it on the next podcast. I also started Final Fantasy V, so I may talk about that a bit as well.

What really excites me is that I was able to find a new copy of MegaMan Powered Up for the PSP the other day. I’ve been looking for this remake of the original MegaMan for ages, but it has eluded for almost a year. Now it is mine, and soon I will enjoy it’s robust level editor and destroy the two new robot master.

I’ve also been playing more of the Call of Duty 4 beta, which Ajguy wasn’t able to get into. He called me to cry about his lack of fortune, but I had to hang up on him. Shooting down those enemy helicopters requires concentration.

Neutopia

As mentioned in this week’s show, one of the Virtual Console releases on the Wii is a Turbo Graphics 16 game called Neutopia. Based on the description of the game, we found it to sound suspiciously like a certain famous Nintendo IP that features a young elf dressed in green. According to the Neutopia Wikipedia article, we’re right.
