On this edition of the Sound Test, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System with a selection of remixes of classic NES themes. Mega Man, Castlevania, Gradius, Bionic Commando, Mario and more go beyond their humble chiptune origins in this episode.

Frank gets lost in space but still manages to deliver the latest on Mr. Driller, NBA Jam, and PlayStation Move.

Ray, Matt, Justin and Alice hit the ground running in this uncharacterist morning taping of In This Thread. Impressions of Rock Band 3 lead the show, along with a bittersweet judgment on Sonic the Hedgehog 4. In News, it's the officially-official retail release of NBA Jam on the HD consoles, Mega Man Legends 3, Grashopper's new hires, OutRun's upcoming disappearance from XBLA, DOTA 2, and a few more bits. Then it's back into games with Alice's views on Kirby's Epic Yarn, and another round of post-release thoughts on Sengoku Basara. Rousing, you might say. And... you may be right.

We put the wraps on the Retronauts podcast the only way we know how: with a disorganized discussion of video game endings riddled with failed jokes, platform bias, and gross factual inaccuracies.

Frank joins Tina in a discussion on the latest GT5 delay, a new Halo Reach map pack, Haden Blackman's new studio, NYCC, and a fire drill.

The demo for Monster Hunter Portable 3rd has hit Japan, and who better to discuss it with than Naughty Dog Community Strategist Arne Meyer? ...Well, just about anyone, actually. But Mr. Meyer does have plenty of interesting things to say about helping launch the Xbox and Xbox 360, working in the studio that brought us Uncharted 2, and more. Also: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and what Japanese gamers have to say about TGS and the 3DS.

On today's Daily 1UPdate 10/13/10, Ray and Justin discuss Sonic 4, DotA 2, Retronauts, NES Anniversary.

WJade's back! And she's got some NYCC tales to tell, but not before the crew talk have some crackers and talk about the new 1UP. Alan calls just in time for all the Comic Con talk, and Zombie Action News is back. And we close out with Final Notes and three movie recommendations from Jade.

Tina and Matt talk about a Yakuza TV show, Pokemon Gold & Silver's anniversary, our Medal of Honor review, and the new Call Of Duty Black Ops trailer.

Sharkey and Tina close out the week with a chat on Fox News's NBA Jam inquiry, Duke Nukem Forever's preorders, StarCraft 2's follow-up, X-Men: Destiny, and LOTRO's success.

In this special one-off edition of In This Thread, we talk to Eric Chahi and Guillame Brunier about From Dust, their upcoming simulation game on the way from Ubisoft. Chahi was also the creator of the groundbreaking action-adventure Another World (Out of This World), as well as the 1998 platformer Heart of Darkness. We discuss those early days with Chahi, as well.

Ray gets Matt, Justin and Scooter in the studio on a rare Hump Day recording, and things start with post-release discussion of EA's NBA Jam (and its price), playing Black Ops in 3D, a little more of Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Ubisoft's Kinect fighting game. In news, it's the weirdness surrounding Medal of Honor, an introduction to Panasonic's "Jungle" handheld, commentary on games from Guillermo del Toro, and the value of Hollywood partnerships with Ken Levine. Plus, Justin teaches Matt how to pronounce Japanese words.

Tina and Sharkey chat about new PSP2 evidence, Will Wright's TV Show, Catherine's strange promotion, and our Gears of War 3 coverage.

Former Nintendo, Sega, EA, Zombie, Irem, Boss, and Enix superstar Jake Kazdal (now of indie newcomer Haunted Temple Studios) joins the 8-4-some to talk about his experiences working his way up the game industry ladder, from having the dream job of being a Nintendo game counselor in the 80's to...having the dream job of working on Space Channel 5 and Rez with Tetsuya Mizuguchi in Tokyo.
