Sakurai steps up to the podium, looking troubled. He's not his confident self this time around — and it's doubly weird that he's making this announcement live and in person instead of through some kind of Nintendo Direct. There's even regular press here, not just games media people. "We are removing Matthew McConaughey as Mud from Super Smash Bros. We are aware of rumors circulating regarding a licensing agreement lapsing or some kind of issue with having a real person present in the video game, but this is all just speculation. The truth is that we are removing Mud because he is overpowered, and in all of our internal testing there was no way to reign in his power while staying true to the character. Mud is just too good." Discussed: Mario Tennis Fever, the Mario sports games, Baby Waluigi, Reanimal, various appeals of co-op play, weird stuff, Danganronpa, gamifying visual novels, games with a sense of place, Paranormasight the mermaids curse, underwater game music, Pokemon Black and White anniversary Jake Steinberg's Mario Tennis Fever Review Bowl of Lentils YouTube Channel Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineBuy some merch, if you'd like: https://shop.intothecast.onlineJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecast---Follow Stephen Hilger: https://bsky.app/profile/stephenhilger.bsky.socialFollow Brendon Bigley: https://bsky.app/profile/bb.wavelengths.onlineProduced by AJ Fillari: https://bsky.app/profile/ajfillari.bsky.social---Season 8 cover art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/Theme song by Will LaPorte: https://ghostdown.online/---Timecodes: (00:00) - Intro (00:27) - Mario Tennis Fever | We have the fever (33:06) - Tiding from Kyle and Jenn to Joel K.!

Welcome to the eighth season of Into the Aether! For this season premiere, we will be discussing our favorite games for the Sony PlayStation Portable. The PSP was a very special console and is still a joy to play. Some might say it's the "Walkman of the 21st Century."  As always, thank you all so much for listening to and supporting the show. Whether this is your first time joining us or you've been here since 2018, we're so happy you decided to give us a listen. Here's to friendship, summer, portability, and the rest of season eight!

Hey everyone! We have some big changes coming to Into the Aether in the near future and we wanted to talk through them a bit. To avoid burying the lede here: We’re leaving the Pickaxe podcast network and returning to complete independence. This has actually been in the works for a little while, but we wanted to only share the news when all of the boxes were checked. This is not a decision we made lightly, but we’re confident it is the right decision for us and for all of you. To be clear, we have no ill-will with Pickaxe and there are no hard feelings either way. This was entirely our decision. As breezy as the process of joining was, the process of offboarding has been equally breezy. We want to extend a huge thanks to the team over there for taking a chance on us and being so cool over the last few months. It’s not often you’re given as much creative control as we were in situations like this. Immediate Changes: 1) No more programmatic ads  The first and most obvious change will be the removal of programmatic advertising in the podcast. We hugely appreciate the feedback from you all regarding the inclusion of these ads. While we’re happy to have tried this method out — it clearly didn’t work for us, the vibe of the show, or the values of Aether as an entity. This change will affect the entire backlog of the podcast as well, so all episodes will return to being ad-free – with the exception of our host-read ads from before the Pickaxe era. We’ll share more about our plans for returning to host-read ads at a later date, but for now: If you’re currently backing the show at the $10 tier, we completely understand if you’d like to downgrade or cancel your membership for the time being. While we will be returning to an advertising model that feels better to us and focuses on lifting up bands and games and projects we can get behind, the reality is that those ads won’t be present in the show until August at the earliest. We hope to have you back, but also understand if you need to pull your support for the time being.  2) Chapters are back! Another welcome change (cue the applause sfx) is that chapter markers are back on the menu. The move to Pickaxe unfortunately wiped the chapter markers from all episodes of the show, meaning you all needed to rely on the written timecodes in the episode descriptions. While this wasn’t the end of the world, it also wasn’t intentional or desirable on our part.  We’re happy to say that chapter markers should be working in the entire backlog, including the episodes which were produced during the Pickaxe era. The Future: We have some other big changes and ideas in the works that we’ll be announcing on the PSP retrospective episode (which we will be recording on August 2nd). These changes are all positive and double down on our desire to keep the show independent for the foreseeable future. We’re excited to share them with you! We’re immensely proud of what Into the Aether has become over the past seven years (!!) and want to make sure its future is sustainable and bright as an indie show on TWG. The reason we are able to try all the things we do and push ourselves further is entirely due to all of your support. So just another huge thank you to everyone for listening and giving us the confidence to try and make this show in our own way. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here in Discord or email us at [email protected]. Thanks again, BB + SH ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

To celebrate hitting 1 million downloads of the show a few months ago (!!), we're proud to present our one-hundred favorite games of the decade from the years 2000 to 2009! A sincere thank you to everyone who has ever listened to, shared, or backed the show. We couldn't have done this without you, for real. We thought there was no better way to share our gratitude than by following up the fan-favorite GOTD episode we did in 2019. And for those of you who DO back the show, make sure to head over to our Patreon to hear ANOTHER episode in which we chop the initial list down from 200+ to the 100 that made it here.

Todd Andrew Howard was born in 1970 in Lower Macungie Township, Pennsylvania, to Ronald (Ron) and Priscilla Howard. His elder brother, Jeffrey Mark (Jeff) Howard, was later the director of creative affairs for Disney, where he oversaw the production of Bambi II. He developed an interest in computers, particularly video games, at a very young age. Howard considers the 1980s role-playing video games Wizardry and Ultima III: Exodus to be inspirations for his future games. Bethesda Softworks eventually recruited Howard in 1994 as a producer. His first game development credit for Bethesda was as the producer and designer of The Terminator: Future Shock (1995), followed by work as a designer on Skynet and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, both released in 1996. He was project leader for the first time on The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, released in 1998.

Tetris and Katamari Damacy represent two similar but opposing approaches to video game design that emphasize different aspects of gameplay and aesthetics. By scrutinizing where a game falls on this spectrum, we may garner insights into its design and mechanics, as well as its potential impact on players. In this edition of the Into the Aether Audio Experience, we shall delve into this Tetris-to-Katamari spectrum and its implications for game design and player experience, and unravel the mysteries that lie within.

Oh man, as a huge fan of Tingle, let me tell you about Tingle Kiwami - it's a game that puts our favorite little green freak right smack in the middle of the Yakuza universe! And let me tell you, it's incredible! The world is super colorful and whimsical, and Tingle's unique personality and magical powers make the game feel like a fresh take on classic Yakuza gameplay. I had a blast using Tingle's dance moves to make friends, solve puzzles, and take down bad guys. Plus, the story is full of bloody twists and turns that kept me hooked, and the graphics and sound are totally on point.  Discussed: Metroid Prime Remastered, Game Boy & Game Boy Advance, Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, Sea of Stars, Octopath Traveler II--- Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecast---Follow on Mastodon: https://theaether.space/@intothecastFollow on Tumblr: https://intothecast.tumblr.com--- Follow Stephen Hilger: https://stephenhilgerart.com/ Follow Brendon Bigley: https://theaether.space/@bb Produced by AJ Fillari: https://theaether.space/@aj---Season 5 Cover Art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/ ---Timecodes: (00:00) - Intro (01:01) - The spectre of the episode (02:02) - The crux of the episode // Last week's Nintento Direct (11:54) - Wii Punch out (12:14) - Jumping in! // Metroid Prime: Remastered (17:54) - Conceding to rumors (22:39) - Getting into this // GBC and GBA Virtual Consoles (38:03) - Dude, The Beetles?

The latest trend in fashion and aesthetic is a revival and revisiting of the arguable hit 2006 Dreamworks film Over the Hedge. With its whimsical characters, witty humor, and heartwarming storyline, people are starting to rediscover the charms of this animated classic. The film's aesthetic has become increasingly popular as people seek comfort in nostalgia and a return to simpler times. "Over the Hedge" is a charming and relatable film that seemingly has timeless appeal, and its reemergence as a cultural touchstone as "Hedge-Core" will continue to be a major trend in the coming months.
