Yeah! - 06 - Elite Beat Agents - September.mp3

Talking to Women about Videogames

January is a great time to talk about "September," so with that in mind we chased away the clouds of winter with a chat about Elite Beat Agents for the Nintendo DS. We talk about where rhythm games were at in 2006, the origins of this game that should have had more releases in America, why the game never really caught on Stateside, and how weird it was. Jonathan also spends about a minute in the middle talking about the GI Joe cartoon for some reason.
