With the help of some Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut Down Ale and Carlson from Mad-Gear.com, we usher in the long dormant “Drunken John Demon”. By the end of the show, he’s no longer the man you recognize and the start of a much longer post-podcast night begins. But before all that, we manage to talk about The Dishwasher, New Adventure Island and a bunch of Sony news. Join us!

Takahashi Meijin and a Master Higgins shirt.

Being a devout Turbografx fanboy, I am naturally an admirer of Hudson’s Takahashi Meijin. The inspiration for Adventure Island’s protagonist Master Higgins, Takahashi is somewhat of a legend in Japanese gaming, famous not only for Adventure Island, but also for his uncanny gamings skill. In addition to being Hudson’s spokesperson, Takahashi is known for his ability to press a controller button sixteen times in one second. That’s right: 16 times.

What, that doesn’t impress you? You think you can do better? Well, chump, prove it with Hudson’s Shooting Watch.

Available from NCSX.com for just over $20, this little controller-like device will measure your shooting speed, allowing you to compare yourself to the master. After opening the package, I was eager to see how I stacked up. (more…)

Alien Crush was one of the first games I ever played for the TurboGrafx-16, and since then it has set the bar for video pinball games. With the great success Hudson has had releasing old Turbo titles on the Virtual Console, it’s great that they’re now not only re-releasing, but also reinventing these classics. This week we get Alien Crush Returns on Nintendo’s WiiWare service.

ALIEN CRUSH RETURNS™ (Hudson Entertainment, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone – Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): ALIEN CRUSH RETURNS is the ultimate incarnation of the popular TurboGrafx pinball classic, Alien Crush. Boasting innovative game and control features, this is one Wii experience that you don’t want to miss. With all the ball-blazing simplicity and flipper action thrills of standard pinball, ALIEN CRUSH RETURNS has all the visual and digital elements that you’ve come to expect in a video game, including grotesque, eye-stunning playfields as well as unique Action Ball gimmicks that redefine the fun and excitement of pinball. You can even nudge the machine with your Wii Remote controller. What’s more, you can connect via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection to enjoy a variety of features such as four-player head-to-head action, high score competitions and Extra Stage downloads.

We’ll be discussing Alien Crush Returns on next week’s episode of Drunken Gamers Radio. If you pick up the game in the meantime, be sure to let us know how it is in the comments section below.
