Episode 185: Eight is Enough (The Final Episode)

It’s the final episode of SMYN. Also, maybe some Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain? But mostly, things get emotional, as guests from Show Me Your News’ past stop by to thank Peter “Youko” Spezia and wish him well in future endeavors.

Stay up to date with what Peter does next: @smynyouko

SMYN: Interview with Xander Mobus

You know him as the announcer in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS – voice actor Xander Mobus joins us for an insightful half-hour chat! What was it like to record all of those lines for the latest Smash Bros. game? How difficult was it to properly pronounce “Duck Hunt”? Was Masahiro Sakurai in the recording studio for direction? What was the process like for recording the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza? Youko, Solharath, Eevee, and CyberLink420 leave no stone unturned in this discussion with the man behind the voice that Smash fans now know well!

VOTE FOR FINALISTS starting November 24 in the SMYN Game of the Year Awards!
