Summary: We discuss Assassin's Creed: Unity, PlayStation Experience, No Man's Sky, Drawn to Death, OCRemix turning 15 (happy birthday OCRemix!), and threshold of game cost to length and story it delivers. Chiptune by Absolute Horizon - $wag & Spell, an excellent piece that blew our minds. Check him out at https://soundcloud.com/absolutehorizon! Episode 11 Notes Episode Music Diddy Kong Racing - Everfrost Peak Composed by David Wise A sequel to Diddy Kong Racing called Donkey Kong Racing was announced at E3 in 2001, with a trailer and a press release being the only pieces of the game that came to light as Rare was acquired by Microsoft in 2002, which forfeit the rights to Donkey Kong before the game completed. Elebits - To the Amusement Park! Composed by Naoyuki Sato and Michiru Yamane Elebits was called Eledees in the PAL territories, which started development almost immediately after the Wii’s hardware was demonstrated to Konami employees, the producer Shingo Mukaitoge wanting to take advantage of the pointing and motion capabilities of the Wii Remote. Fun fact: Robbie the Rabbit, from the Silent Hill series, can be found in the Amusement Park; his item description says, “He loves ketchup. (That’s not blood!)” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles: The Arcade Game - Sidewalk Composed by Mutsuhiko Izumi and Miki Higashino In the game’s data are four different types of pizza, where only one made the final cut, which restores health. The other types of pizza were “speedy,” “whirly,” and “sappy” - each pizza’s color corresponded to one of the four turtles.
