Boku No Natsuyasumi Series with OngakuGamer, Kirby's Dream Buffet, Kirby's Super Star Stacker

Japanese video game collector OngakuGamer joins me to chat about the Boku No Natsuyasumi series, a uniquely Japanese franchise about a child experiencing summer vacation in 1970s Japan. We dig deep into the history of the franchise and its first western release with Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation. I also look at three Kirby titles on Switch: Kirby’s Dream Buffet, Kirby’s Super Star Stacker, and Kirby’s Avalanche. Plus, new Pokemon, new Switch games, and new reasons to play Fortnite.
