Beyond the NES with Syncoplay (Joe Bourrie)

"Rediscovering 8-Bit on the Japanese Famicom," per the subtitle, in this interview with the author of Beyond the NES, Joe Bourrie aka Syncoplay. We discuss what inspired him to dig into the Famicom library (King Kong 2), what he learned (Chrono Trigger wasn't the first "dream team" project), and where to start (check out Cocoron and Summer Carnival '92: Recca). While there's "no crying till the end" of legendary games like MOTHER/EarthBound Beginnings, even so-called "kusoge" such as Bokosuka Wars are worth another look.
