Honestly, we should just call this episode, "The Jonathan Holmes Show" because that's really what it is. Listening to Holmes' passion for all things Capcom pretty much struck me dumb as he consistently managed to ask every question I could think of before I'd even really thought about it. It's a good interview and will no doubt sate much of the lust for everyone's favorite Wii fan that we've been hearing about.
Lots of really great stuff in here. Marvel at how Capcom managed to go through all sorts of licensing issues to bring you a new fighting game (see what I did there?). And listen as bonus guest Topher Cantler repeatedly makes the case for Rival Schools.
The episode is available for your downloading right now. Just click. Full show notes reside after the break.

You could get Quicktime or RealPlayer (hahah, yeah right, Real)
*ahem*
"It's good... It's good to be back now where we belong. The knifing and forking. And spooning. Instead of--No more of the summer vacation. No more of this beach cabana happy fun-time. It's time for forking. Back to forking!"
So starting to listen! Woo!
And yeah, Topher is the balls. Can't wait to have him on the show again!
Looking forward to the next episode. :3
Actually, a new demon's quest game would be awesome, even if it's under a different name. it had a great metroidvania feel to it.
I don't mean to sound like a dick but pointing out Fate Unlimited Code, a LICENSED game, as a new IP isn't really a new IP. You don't see Namco claiming ownershp of Naruto or Star Wars.
