Episode 1203: "Pokemon LEs Have Left The Building!"

Pokémon (Premium/LE) shipping; Turner Pinball criticized for opaque 2+ year wait; Cirqus Voltaire remaster anticipated.

Synopsis

Kaneda discusses Pokémon (Premium/LE) shipments beginning (all 750 units leaving Stern's facility), praises Stern's manufacturing efficiency, critiques packaging decisions vs. cheaper Star Wars boxes, and highlights production timeline issues at Turner Pinball (Yukon taking 24-28 months for 500 units). Major concerns raised about transparency in pre-order expectations, Cirqus Voltaire remaster potential, and the quality/viability of newer indie games like Three Musketeers.
