Sun of a Podcast #35 Man Down | Steven's got his priorities right and is spending some quality time with his woman, so Martin and Kyle take the reigns for Episode 35. Schools might be coming to the end of the semester but that doesn't mean we have more free time to play videos games, quite the opposite in fact. Next week is looking rather tasty with Kid Icarus and Ninja Gaiden 3 on the menu, but will we bite? Check out Episode 35 to find out. | 3/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #33 A New Challenger | Welcome to Episode 33 of the RedSunGamer podcast. We introduce our newest member of the show, "Kyle". Steven has mad technical issues throughout the recording, not to mention a slight speech impediment. Martin goes on a bit of a Vita memory card rant.

Sun of a Podcast #32 Vita | Yes, we're back! Again! It took a several weeks for Steve to snap Martin and Mehdi out of their catatonic stupor after they livestreamed the Vita on launch day on December 17th for 17 hours! The show must go on. Red Sun Gamer is back! So, sick of hearing other gaming podcasts spewing disinformation about Vita from their yuck mouths? Then you've come to the right place. First join us for our 2 hours discussion based on first hand experiences with the Vita. Then we have 30 minutes on Ni no Kuni (revived with smelling salts from a podcast that never saw the day of light) and 30 minutes of stuff that nobody remembers cause it was close to 3a.m. when we finished. Enjoy! | 1/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #31 Super Mario 3D Land | Babies, moving, no internet and a broken foot is to blame for our latest hiatus. Join Martin, Steve and our new podcasting member Medhi as we talk about Mario's latest adventure on the 3DS, Steve's secret love for maid cafes, and Medhi explains why Kojima trolled us all. | 11/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #30 TGS 2011 | It has been one year since our last podcast....about TGS! That means we are almost right on time! In episode 30, we are joined by two special guests, our good friends Mehdi_eff and zippypatrick who also attended this year's TGS. No freight-train length discussions here about the 3DS versus Vita, just a straight up 'round Skype' stream of consciousness talk about the games that made a lasting impression on us. | 9/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #29 In a Spin | It's a bird, it's a plane... no it's another Red Sun Gamer podcast, back from yet another hiatus! Life somehow got in the way with new jobs, moving, illness and a baby. We start off this podcast with a round of applause for Steve on becoming an official video games translator! Martin had a camera up his nose and down in his stomach, fun times! Martin also received an early gift from his wife - a baby boy, 10 days early! Martin also does his best impression of Jack Bauer - check out the YouTube video. We talk about the following games: Rhythm Heaven, Groove Coaster, Toriko, Basara, Xevious, Donkey Kong and StarFox 3D. For Zasshi Time we head into Famitsu 360 for run down on Rise of Nightmares Kinect control scheme. TGS is around the corner so we're asking "What do you wanna see and hear about?". Let us know! This podcast is enhanced so you should see all the sections of the podcast plus pictures and links to videos. | 8/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #28 Bleach, CoE, SotD | Finally able to take a hiatus from our podcast hiatus (translation: hectic video production schedule), Steve and Martin are extremely happy to deliver you Sun of a Podcast Episode 28. In our show, we adroitly avoid belaboring you with belated impressions of E3 and instead zero in on the parade of games we have been wading through: Bio Hazard The Revelations (3DS), Zelda Ocarina of Time (3DS), Yakuza 5 Of the End (PS3), Shadows of the Damned (PS3/Xbox360), Mizuguchi's Child of Eden (Xbox360), and Bleach: Soul Ignition (Soul Resurreccion) (PS3). In Zasshi Time, Steve slashes us through Ninja Gaiden 3's blade bone-severing concept, Itagaki's recent Devil's Third progress update, and his promise not to let fans down at the upcoming TGS. Follow us into the wee hours of the night (again!) where we conclude the show with an extended talk about the temporary 3DS sales spike due to the release of Zelda. | 7/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #27 Pandora’s Tower | Was it pure happenstance that we decided to play horror survival games, Ikenie no Yoru (Night of the Sacrifice) on Friday the 13th, and Corpse Party on the Eve of Rapture, or was it a dim foreshadowing of our sinister fate? Fortunately, there was no Second Coming of a hockey mask-wearing Jason. We are alive and well, so much that we have another 2-hour plus podcast just for you! After our playthrough discussion of Night of the Sacrifice and our failed attempt to play through Corpse Party, we share with you the joys of procuring flesh from fresh beastly cadavers to feed a cursed maiden in Pandora's Tower, and the very brief joys of being a toilet-swiveling submarine commander in Steel Diver. Afterwards, we try to figure out why Microsoft seems so intent on scuttling any hopes of Kinect success in Japan. Then, we finish up with recent sales figures, talk of PSP remastering and NGP name branding (VITA). Enjoy! | 5/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #26 El Shaddai | What happens when Martin and Steve chew the fat about their separate playthroughs of El Shaddai? They blabber about Nephilim blubber n' stuff for a nigh an hour! 4 gaming thumbs up! Afterwards, we make quick work through our midway play reports of Layton(3DS), Jubeat (iPad), Gachitora (PSP). For Famistu Zasshi Time, Steve's painstakingly sifted through the 17 page blowout on Nagoshi's Sci-Fi Dramatic 3rd Person Shooter Binary Domain. Elsewhere in the Famitsu news we cover info on Zelda 3DS, the Tohoku Earthquakes effect on the Japanese gaming industry, ECO TGS and refreshingly low cross-review scores | 5/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #24 Delays | During a week of video game delays and potential nuclear melt downs Martin and Steven tell stories of family and friends directly involved in the earthquake which hit Japan on March 11th. We actually got a little bit of gaming in with games such as Defiant, Layton 3DS and Zettai Zetsumei 3 on the PSP. Sensei Steven takes us into class with an extended Lingo lab then we cover the Irem announcement of Zettai Zetsumei 4 being canned, which brings around a nice conversation of delays delays delays. Then we head-on over to Zasshi Time for some Dead or Alive and Gundam cross review talk, with a sprinkle of Famitsu's 3DS tips. Just before we wrap up the show Steven gets his man-crush on with Hino-San from Level5. We wrap up the show with the sounds of Super Mario Brothers being played live from Nintendo world in January 2011. | 3/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #23 Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Nuclear Meltdowns & Video Games | Especially to those living overseas, consider this very unusual podcast our clumsy way of letting you know that we (Steve and Martin) are very much alive and well in the wake of the Tohoku Pacific Offshore Earthquake, and the subsequent tsunamis that hit Northeastern Japan on March 11th. Maybe unfortunately for you, in this podcast our minds and hearts weigh heavier on these recent events than the Japanese games we love so dearly. So without further ado, welcome to our first near zero-prep podcast! First, a retelling of our first-hand experiences in Nagoya as the earthquake unfolded some 400 miles away. Then, we revive Lingo Lab with some serious smelling salts! Thereafter, we recap our lasting impressions on our recent Thursday streaming of the Mortal Kombat demo for the PS3. Yes, a you-geemu (western game) yo we know! Next, we take very shallow dip in Famitsu's latest info on Steel Diver to prime you for our next live-streaming of the full game on March 17th, 7:00p.m. The time stamps remind me that we also quibble about Of the End, Child of Eden control scheme improvements, the delayed Disaster Report 4 (that got canned after our recording) and the new Yakuza Twitter App. | 3/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #22 7 Days Later | Woah... 2 weeks on the bounce and you're treated to another episode of the RedSunGamer podcast. Hosts Martin and Steven come to you live (sort of) and direct from Nagoya, Japan, to share their first week experiences with their shiny new 3DSs as well as some first-hand accounts of other people's reactions to the 3DS. Catherine is once again on the menu with the US release date being announced. Then we get into the Yakuza 5 demo which was released on March 3rd, unbeknownst to Martin who got sidetracked by the Catherine and a 3DS-induced RSG gaming frenzy. After escaping the jaws of a crazy zombie attack in Kamurocho we're swallowed whole by a hungry monster a la Innerspace, where we digest our dinners and talk about Pixel Junk's new game, Shooter2. Strap yourselves in, as Episode 22 is about to take off. | 3/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #21 Nintendo 3DS & Catherine | After a two month hiatus RedSunGamer is back, back just in time to cover the 3DS launch here in Japan.

Sun of a Podcast #20 Two Guys No Agenda | Join Brian and Martin as they enter a land with no agenda. Episode 20 was recorded on the 23rd of December 2010. Steven had already flown to Chicago to be with his family for Christmas and lashing of home-made food. Shane was too busy with his new lady friend, so it was left to Brian and Martin to steer the ship. Video Games, Police and biker gangs included. How did we do? Well, that's for you to decide. | 1/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #19 Take 3 | Introducing a friend of the show, please welcome Brain. Shane's off doing what he does best, chasing women and DJ'ing. Steve opens up with a long-winded account of a recent Japanese Bounenkai (End-of-the-year Party) and business trip with Kamurocho-esque hostesses. Then the conversation rolls into a discussion of Kaz's magnum opus, Gran Turismo 5. Afterwards, Steve cracks open the 352 page behemoth Magic Master that comes with Ni no Kuni for the DS and recites some Astrum language deciphered into Japanese and translated into English. Martin and Brian try their best to protect themselves from the deranged otaku. The mood turns celebratory as Martin recounts how he got his wife to finally play and even enjoy a video game using the Kinect, cue Lady GaGa. Then the discussion turns to Kinect and whether it is suitable for Japanese dwellings. | 12/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #18 Bimbou Hima Nashi HD | Shane finds out that golden headphones attract the strangest people. Martin goes overboard with Bimbou Hima Nashi (No Money No Time) and Steven introduces us to some very useful software that will benefit anybody who's trying to learn Japanese — and the best thing is, it's free. Japan shows us how not to advertise a western shooter, Microsoft demands GalGun changes, and we finally get a solid GT5 release date. | 11/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #17 Kinect Stalkers | Shane's back from dropping mushrooms with Mario at last weekend's Halloween party in Nagoya. We discuss Kinect and whether or not it's going to fit in an average Japanese home, and we get into the buy-out of Shinji Mikami's Tango Gameworks studio by Bethseda/Zenimax in his most recent interview in the latest issue of Famitsu, issue 1144. | 11/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sun of a Podcast #16 Halloween Gangster Luigi | While Shane is out having fun at a Halloween party, Steven and Martin having both just finished Vanquish, share and compare their separate experiences through this amazingly stylistic 3rd person shooter. Then we move over to the Japanese PSN title Malicious, which did a remarkable job at making us green in the face, due to its terrible targeting camera. We did however have loads of fun playing 3 Big Gun Shoot (Japanese title) using the Move controllers, with Deadstorm Pirates being the stand-out title of the 3 games available on the disc. Steven then recounts how he took a time out from his beloved Halos for a naughty one-nighter with the Killzone 3 multiplayer alpha build. Then he talks briefly about the charming demo, Majin the Forsaken Kingdom, available for both the PS3 and 360. Midnight is certainly not the time I want to be stuck in class for Steven's Lingo Lab. Afterwards, I sleepwalk over to Zasshi Time so Steve can cover an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto about the Super Mario 25th Anniversary, which appears in the 200th issue of Nintendo Dream, and share new info on El Shaddai and Child of Eden from the latest Famitsu Weekly. | 11/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

We look into the wonderful and enchanting Keito no Kirby, AKA Kirby’s Epic Yarn, then we’re off to school for another one of Steven’s Lingo Lab classes. In this week’s Famitsu there’s a prominent theme; surveys. Yes, this week’s Famitsu is filled cover to cover with surveys of Nintendo’s up-and-coming 3DS and a post-TGS survey. | 10/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast all the way from "The Land of the Rising Sun".
The very first episode got me hooked. They talk about Yakuza 4 and Fist of the North Star. This is a great addition to the list of podcast I listen to at work to help me keep my day shorter. Keep up the good work guys and more power to you!

Best podcast about Japanese games
This is an absolutely wonderful podcast about Japanese gaming. Anyone who is a fan of import Japanese games MUST subscribe; you won't regret it! Thanks guys for a great podcast!
Great Stuff!
This podcast is really nice. You can tell these guys are doing this podcast just because they're real fans of gaming. They cover the important details of why you could to take interest in the games the talk about. I enjoy the mix of accents as well. It may sound odd, but it actually makes the conversations easier to follow because of this. I really hope they continue to release podcasts as it's been a few weeks. Keep it going guys!
