This week on RetroNots, an episode hosted by the legally distinct podcaster, MobBacky.

Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of RetroNots. I'm your host for this one, Bob Macky.

Today we're talking about AsaTourney, all of the games you didn't cover in our last episode about AsaTourney,

because back in 394 we covered the origins of the series in the first three games, and now we're back two years later to cover the rest of the vast, vast AsaTourney library.

And this podcast is actually coinciding with the recent announcement of the Apollo Justice AsaTourney trilogy coming to all major platforms in 2024.

Before I continue, who is here with me today in coming in from Japan? Who is here today?

Hi, it's Maddie Cop and it's pretty cool. They still let me podcast from death row.

And who else do we have? I'm the one on the jury who's definitely a witch. It's me Nina Matzimoto.

Nina will be burned alive after this podcast.

She'll be dropped from her age into an incinerator. Now Nina, you were just on a podcast, but Maddie, it's been a few years since you've been on RetroNots.

And in that short amount of time, you have become not only the greatest Metal Gear Solid fan to ever walk the earth, but you are also recently probably best known on video forever preserved as bad girl.

Yeah, yeah, it's been a couple crazy years. I also moved to Japan. And yeah, I seem to have gained some kind of notoriety for Metal Gear Solid comics, as well as quite a few Resident Evil ones.

And yeah, and also I work at Grasshopper and I am now bad girl officially officially.

And actually Nina and recently you just had some great Metal Gear merch come out through a fan game or speaking of Metal Gear.

Yeah, now I design merchandise for Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid and have I done anything for Resident Evil?

I guess not. Sorry, there's things I've done that were not approved by them. So I can't remember if I've done anything for Resident Evil that has actually come out, but I don't think so.

You might have pitched things that didn't get accepted. Yeah, it happens.

So I want to let listeners know that, of course, you definitely want to go back to episode 394 if you want to hear us talk about the origins of the series and the first three games.

But in this episode, we're going to avoid the big spoilers and limit our discussion to the development of the games, the mechanics, the characters, the reception to the games and so on.

Basically, because it's hard for all of us to remember the essentially 25 novels worth of text that is found within the nine games are going to be talking about today. So it's going to be the broad strokes, but I think we're going to give you a very good overview of where the series went after the initial trilogy.

So we have not all played all these games that we're going to talk about today. That's true. I am still I still have to play one of them and one and a half I haven't played so I have one and a half as well.

So we're all we're all lacking, but we can each fill in the gaps that we are have probably missing like the same one.
