Punching Up, Episode 25 | Emulators on iPhone: Nintendo’s Nightmare?
🕑 Added 2024-04-17 16:00:12 +0000 UTCWelcome back to Punching Up! Apple has changed its App Store policy to allow emulators on iOS devices. With that, we can only assume that the App Store will soon be flooded with NES, SNES, and Game Boy emulators. Given Nintendo's history and recent legal action against Yuzu, the company surely isn't pleased with the decision. However, the biggest question is: will they attempt to make a move against them, even if they have shaky legal ground to do so? In other news, an ex-PlayStation executive has joined Nintendo, and it's been announced that the company will be skipping Gamescom this summer.

Gene, I have seen dragon quest 5 at a couple nerd stores here in Helsinki. They cost around 170€ and If you want a copy, I could be your middleman. :)

Jonathan Nolan did Person of Interest, which was great beyond its first season and in fact great through to the end. The show had decent ratings at the time but is and was criminally overlooked in the zeitgeist, so I’m not surprised Gene didn’t mention it.

Funny enough I've also been contemplating jumping into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 after playing the last one last year and loving it. Let's go, Micah!

Loved this episode! As a Japanese myself, even Japanese people themselves think their laws are too draconian sometimes. If you guys think the 5 year prison time is insane, I do recommend looking up the Kyoto Pokémon incident. A woman was raided by Japanese SWAT and sent to trail over drawing Pokémon hentai.

You did al that in only 38 hours? I beat it in around 50 hours and I wasn't anywhere close to 100% everything.

I bought Unicorn Overlord because of Micah and 38 hours later - I got the 100%. Amazing game

That goddess of victory ad is wild. Recommend you do your own research.

I love Gene, but also as someone who’s had a friend killed by a drunk driver, it sucks to hear him say checking in and using footage to make sure he wasn’t drunk driving was “total bullshit”. Drunk driving is one of the dumbest things you can do and I’m glad they made sure he couldn’t keep doing it.

I didn't have Dustin absolutely butchering the pronunciation of BBL on my BINGO card. It's said how it's spelled, B-B-L
