Just when you thought it was safe to surf you some internets, the Bionic Commando podcast strikes:
In a change to our scheduled programming, IGN’s Anoop Gantayat and Destructoid’s Brad Rice join us on the podcast after taking part in our Three Days of the Commando multiplayer event. We talk Japan with these Oriental experts, as well as answering a small mountain of reader mail and playing the Bionic 1980s Game. It’s a special leg warmers and chest hair Top Secret!
The boys of Bionic Commando have also enabled comments on their blog posts. Check it out and take the opportunity to tell them about all of your exciting credit card offers and male enhancement opportunities.
I don’t understand you kids today, with your podcasts and vblogging and Twittering. In my day, we read message boards and sometimes talked on the phone. Stay offa my lawn!
The 1up crew dropped us a note today to let us know that they discussed Capcom’s Digital Day in depth on their EGM Live! podcast from 3/17.
You can pick up the 1up podcast from iTunes or directly from 1up right here.
Highlight of the podcast: Shoe realizing during the podcast that we called Digital Day “Digital Day” because we focused on our digital titles. This is all the sweeter after Shoe’s recent announcement that he’s leaving EGM/1up for a much deserved break. Hope that Mega Man StarForce 2 didn’t crush his spirits!
Top Secret File 012: Christian Svensson, VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Capcom USA
Christian Svensson joins us from across the Pacific to talk about the rebirth of Okami on the Wii, as well as the challenges of bringing Japanese games to the West, and the future of Capcom. Christian also talks about Capcom’s other downloadable titles, including Super Street Fighter II HD Remix!
And in case you’re wondering, yes, we have switched our blog format over to the increasingly popular “All Svensson, All the Time!” format. Featuring Svensson updates at 15, 20, and 40 past the hour, we are your #1 source for the most in-depth Svensson reportage you’ll find this side of the Mississippi.
We’ll stop talking to him when he runs out of interesting things to say. So far, no luck, so click here to hear him dish.
This week the crew stirs up headlines by taking cheap shots at the voice acting in revered classic, Resident Evil 1. Featuring Voice Director Kris Zimmerman and Voiceover Manager (what’s that?) Chip Beaman.
The Top Secret podcast goes on location at the voice recording session of Bionic Commando in Hollywood, California, as we talk to Soundelux VO manager Chip Beaman, and the Voice Director of Bionic Commando, Kris Zimmerman. We find out what it takes to make a game sound great, and explore the mixed past of Capcom voiceovers.

While there’s nothing as exciting as playing Street Fighter IV, I think we can all agree that listening to my nasal monotone narrating a slide show of SFIV stills is a very close second.
As such, please enjoy this little overview of Abel’s specials moves, how they work, and a few of the horrible things you can do with them to the people you love. If you are too good for youtube, a more easily ipodified link can be found here.
I was lying about the turntables, but the microphone was for reals. The Bionic Commando podcasting crew is back again, and they seem to have tricked the sublime Minae Matsukawa into appearing on their show. Please note: I was planning to spare you yet another “Objection!” joke, but I see the temptation was too much for our podcasting crew to resist. Here’s the lowdown on this week’s show!
There can be no objections to this week’s special guest - the producer of the Ace Attorney series, Minae Matsukawa! To coincide with the release of Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice, Matsukawa-san will be talking about the development of the popular handheld series, being a female producer in Japan, and the future of the series. She’ll also be deciding which lucky listener will win signed AA goods taken straight from the evidence locker.
As if Matsukawa-san herself weren’t enough, they’re also giving stuff away for the best listener-submitted question. Check it out:
1st Prize - A Gyakuten Saiban 4 (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney) t-shirt, signed by Matsukawa-san, with a signed Gyakuten album!
2nd Prize - A Gyakuten album signed by Matsukawa-san, as well as a limited edition promotional DVD for Gyakuten Saiban 4
3rd Prize - A limited edition promotional DVD for Gyakuten Saiban 4
Listen to the show here. Do it for extreme justice.
The Bionic Command podcast is back, bringing you more of the best in games-y gaijin to wash up on Japan’s shores:
It’s two gaming media veterans for the price of one: podcast legend and “Gaming Jesus” Mark MacDonald, and the founder of localization company 8-4 and longtime Japan resident John Riccardi, join us on the show, discussing the games industry in Japan and abroad. We’ll also be talking about the Alpha version of Bionic Commando, and debating the price point for Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Incidentally I ran into Mark last week in Tokyo, and as far as I could see none of that stuff is true–in fact I thought he smelled delightful.
The team also has a poll asking whether people would prefer to pay 10$ or 15$ for Bionic Commando Rearmed. While I’m guessing the results will be incredibly close, I’m personally voting 15$ because a) the game is that good b) I dislike others and want them to suffer.
