Episode notes

There is a manual that is not entirely in english. Tis mandatory for understanding the mechanics of the game, and it is fully baked into the game. You only find specific pages, kind of as you need them. In the end, the pages of the manual and the game itself are in this fictional language. So i men when you see the word there, my guess is you could actually crack the language. I imagine it's more like a code than it is like a language. Well, eac want you to crack it? Yes. And ah, yeso. But ye, play the game for more than a minute, you're going to experience this.

This week, The Resties share their growing love of Tunic, an adventure game heavily inspired by the early entries of The Legend of Zelda. Without getting into spoilers, they also explain the game's similarities to indie hit Fez. In the second half, Frushtick and Plante run through Nintendo's mega-busy 2022 release calendar. Will we release get Breath of the Wild 2 this year AND another Pokemon? Our recommendations of the week: Paprika and The French Dispatch.
