8-4 Play: 8-4 Play 6/14/2024: VANIA MANIA

Sure, we’ll talk about the heaps of new games shown at State of Play, Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase, and Day of the Devs – but first let us ruminate on Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood, more PC-FX stuff you’ve never heard of, and Alan Wake’s new Night Springs DLC. What is a man, you ask? Tune in to find out!

Every other week, tune into 8-4 Play for talk about video games, Japan, and Japanese video games, straight from the 8-4 offices in beautiful downtown Tokyo. Hosted by 1UP Japan's own Mark MacDonald, John Ricciardi, and Hiroko Minamoto.
