In this first Season 5 episode of RFN, James tries to get comfortable in the host's chair and everyone pretends nothing has happened. New Business begins with Greg Leahy's thoughts on the newest Smash Bros DLC and Tournament mode, and then leads the rest of the gang to talk about Splatoon with his fresh impressions. Guillaume talks about his brief but fun time playing the co-op Wii U game Never Alone, and James finishes with his impressions of Uncharted... Waters on the Wii U VC. Listener Mail tackles the rampant speculation about the NX, Nintendo's Quality of Life initiative, why we don't open up the podast to all consoles/systems, and Nintendo's tight PR leash on its employees.

Jonny may have hosted the show for over 7 years, but we don't let his departure get in the way of our traditional New Business. Jonny starts of us with Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and then extolls the virtues of Rare Replay for the Xbox One. Guillaume follows that up with his impressions of a copy of Mario Kart: Double Dash he found in someone's underwear drawer, plus his take on Dragon Fantasy. Then James regales us with his account of his time playing Doshin the Giant, and Jon gets philosophical with his Journey impressions. The second segment is all about one of Jonny's favorite games of all time, Blaster Master for the NES. We postponed it for as long as we could, but eventually the show has to end. You will laugh, you will cry in this hour-long farewell to Dr Metts, rocket scientist, experienced writer, avid concert-goer, Magic the Gatherer, and passionate Nintendo fan.

Guillaume's still away and with no guest to replace him, it's a three man podcast this week. New Business touches on Samba de Amigo for Wii, Destiny, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Ori and the Blind Forest. Recent news get discussed in the second segment: among other things, the Smash and Splatoon updates, the Red Ash Kickstarter, and Dragon Quest XI for multiple platforms including the 3DS. Stick around until the end for a special announcement you don't want to miss.
