Radio Free Nintendo has reached Episode 999, described by the hosts as a relatively normal installment ahead of the show's milestone Episode 1000. They said they are taking the following week off to finish preparations for Episode 1000, which they plan to record on November 14, with further details available in a companion article.
The hosts noted that a RetroActive segment on 9 Persons would have been appropriate for the episode, but said there is no easy way to play it on Nintendo systems, so the show proceeded with its usual format. Guillaume Veillette handled most of the New Business segment. He shared impressions of Scott Pilgrim EX, which he described as a brand new game rather than a deluxe version of the Scott Pilgrim beat 'em up released more than a decade earlier. He also discussed Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage and provided updates on Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.
Jon assisted with New Business by giving an update on Final Fantasy Resonance, while Greg and James offered short updates on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Rhythm Heaven Groove. After a break, the hosts answered Listener Mail questions. One discussion focused on Nintendo shareholders demanding PC ports and how the hosts would maliciously comply, while another explored the Switch 2 launch date and whether it was a matter of providence. The episode also included a last call for Episode 1000 Listener Mail, and the hosts said they hope to see listeners in two weeks for the live show.
Episode 999 was edited by Guillaume Veillette. The "Men of Leisure" theme song was produced for Radio Free Nintendo by Perry Burkum, and the show's logo was produced by Connor Strickland. The ending music was "Morphogenetic Sorrow" from 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, composed by Shinji Hosoe, requested by Rob and selected by James, with rights held by Spike Co., Ltd.
