[nicktheduderino]

haha true, thanks for watching!

[TledgEs]

i wish they would translate the descriptions on those japanese games though

[nicktheduderino]

be careful what you wish for

It's worth noting that the 50MB cap was also in place for the 200 point games under the previous pricing system. It's nothing new.

[TokikoNyuu]

@SakuraMaxx he totally should 'cause I want to play touhou game on something other than the for once or maybe a fan should make a touhou indie game because ZUN it's really hard to tell if he would ever do that or not

[BigRookGames]

great video, planning on any new ones?? keep it up if so, awesome

[SakuraMaxx]

Yeah they were referring to Touhou, but at least that one's good lol.

[SakuraMaxx]

Maybe ZUN should make something for Xbox 360 Indie Games.

[knucklez2]

Were you guys talking about Touhou Project?

[Jareccc]

Holy sheyt. This new format is awesome!

I like seeing just more than a talking head.

I like the podcasty overall aspect ALOT.

Great job! ++

[dbmountain1]

so does that mean it's possible for games like miner dug deep to possibly get some updates?

[D636A6D]

Oh alright thanks for clearing that up^^

[matthewdoucette]

i don't think so. we can program in our own "achievements" (similar to mega man 9's built-in "challenges") but we are not allowed to use the term "achievement" as they do not append to your gamerscore.  same thing applies with "leaderboards".

[D636A6D]

Hey Nick, during the Skwug review you mentioned achievements? Does that mean that indie games now support achievements?
