Hello everyone, here’s another podcast! All of your votes have been tallied on to put together the definitive list of the top ten game soundtracks (on Nintendo platforms) from 2014. In this almost two-hour podcast you can expect to hear excerpts from all of the soundtracks that made the list with commentary from myself and those who sent in their thoughts. Thank you to everyone who helped make this feature possible and sorry about the delay.

Unlike last year’s show, it’s now available in video podcast form on Youtube (note: podcast may not contain moving images):

If you want the audio version to stick on your MP3 player or whatever, you can download it here. And if you really want to spoil yourself, the results and and a full track list (with timestamps!) can be found over the break:

Over the past few months, it’s been made clear that the localization team behind Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate had a fairly notable impact on the game’s release. Little suggestions were proposed here and there to improve the overall experience.

Capcom detailed some of these in a new localization blog post today. Thanks to suggestions proposed from the overseas side of the company, we get to see things like the “Instant” text speed, the ability to toggle your partner’s Palico conversation on and off during multiplayer, and the option to turn off a portion of the tutorial messages.

Before we start talking about monsters, I want to write about a couple of nifty features that were introduced into the Japanese version of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and of course, are intact for the Western version. The first is an option to change the dialogue text speed from Normal to Instant. If you’ve played a Monster Hunter game before, you know that the text displays one letter at a time and while some players are okay with this, some players are pretty quick readers, so switching the option to Instant will display the dialogue all at once, allowing you to get through the conversation quickly.

Head past the break due to Twitch auto-play!

A new 3DS firmware update is now available for download. By grabbing the latest firmware, your system will be brought up to version 9.5.0-22.

It appears that today’s update is on the simpler side of things, as it’s mostly about stability. Nintendo says of the firmware: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”. That’s it!
