Episode 918: Reflecting on Manifesto-Writing – Radio Free Nintendo

Every week, it seems like Jon Lindemann might accuse me of crafting a manifesto, and if he didn’t fear I’d respond with “Alright then, you handle it!” he’d probably take the plunge. This time, however, we actually kick off with a genuine Xenoblade manifesto, disguised as the “UNOFFICIAL Xenoblade Chronicles X review guide.” We force James to clarify that, surprisingly, it wasn’t his doing (00:02:04). Next up, we delve into those game elements that are so impeccably done, they often fly under our radar (00:40:32), and then tread into Listener Mail territory with musings on the Nintendo Music app (01:03:50).

After a breather, we shift gears to New Business, where Greg shares his thoughts on Ninja Five-O, also known as Ninja Cop, and offers some unique insights (01:34:20). Before wrapping things up, we unveil our next RetroActive, which is none other than Wonder Boy and the Dragon’s Trap, coming to the Switch.

Feel free to drop us an email if you have any thoughts or just want to say hi!

On a closing note, Guillaume Veillette took care of editing this episode, ensuring all our ramblings sound top-notch. The catchy theme, “Men of Leisure,” was specially crafted for Radio Free Nintendo by Perry Burkum – check out his other creations on SoundCloud. And the Radio Free Nintendo visual flair? That’s courtesy of Connor Strickland, whose creative ventures you can explore on his site.

Wrapping it all up, the ending tune for this episode is the dynamic piece “Uncontrollable” from Xenoblade Chronicles X, composed by the talented Hiroyuki Sawano, a request from Cesar. Thanks to Nintendo for keeping such gems alive.
