This year, Nintendo is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Wii…and if you’re old enough to remember the release, you might want to go get your cholesterol checked out. Despite this, XVGM Radio is ushering in a new era for its 8th year of existence. As always, NikoTengoku joins us for the January episode, and much to Janine’s dismay, Mike and Justin have brought back Ed Wilson from TheVGMbassy/PixelTunes Radio. This is our first official episode as a quartet hosted podcast! Every January going forward, Mike, Justin, Niko and Ed will be bringing you the tunes, composer info, game discussion and laughs! Starting off with the Wii’s redbook audio tracks, the boys explored multiple levels of genres, kicking things off right with the Wii Shop theme! Stay tuned to hear stories about everyone’s launch day experience, chill songs, Castlevania-themed musical treks, and of course, discussions on Tunas flying through the sky! All on this brand new XVGM Radio episode!
