Nwr Connectivity

Sit right back and let me tell you all about this week's episode of Connectivity. It's episode 145 to be exact, and it's quite enjoyable. We have four freakin' segments for you this week. First up, Zach and Neal answer a quick listener mail question and go over the results of our recent "Kongtest". Then, they dig deep into Guacamelee: Super Tournament Championship Edition! Then in our third segment, Andrew and Daan preview the upcoming Hyrule Warriors. And finally, Neal and Zach return with a bonus segment at the end of the episode to gush over Marvel's new Guardians of the Galaxy film. I know we keep asking for listener mail, but that's only because we love to get it. Send some in to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Also, please rate and review the show on iTunes! Oh, and check out the fundraising campaign for RFN Episode 400 at https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/blog/38251/rfn-400-the-campaign.

Welcome to the club that's made for you and me: Connectivity! You sure are in for a treat this week. We've got three segments for you. First up, Neal and Zach discuss Donkey Kong Country 3D Returns as this episode's Game of the Week! It just became available as a Club Nintendo Platinum reward, but is it good enough to claim? Hopefully we can help you come to a solid conclusion. Then, Aaron chimes in with an interview with David D'Angelo and Ian Flood of Yacht Club Games about the supremely awesome Shovel Knight! It's only the best game ever, so this is sort of a big deal. Finally, Daan is back with another installment of his quiz show. I hope your brain is ready for this. Please send in your listener mail questions, you know we love them. You can submit them to us at connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Also, please take a moment to rate and review the show on iTunes. It really helps!

Hello and welcome to Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week. Kicking the show off, Scott, Alex, Danny and Addison answer a bunch of great listener mail. Is Splatoon a MOBA? What do we think of GameStop preorder bonuses? What the hell is all this stuff about Diddy Kong Racing 2? Can you be vegan in a video game? We answer these questions and a whole lot more. After that, Neal and Zach return with their "Game of the Week" segment, this time focused on Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Originally released for the Wii, Muramasa has since been ported to the Vita in, as it turns out, a much more definitive version. The boys break down what makes this gorgeous 2-D game so special, regardless of platform. Be sure to send your listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com for the next mail segment. We'll see you next week!

Hello, and welcome to Connectivity! After last week's show posted late, we figured we could make it up to you by posting this one early. How nice of us! We have two segments this week. Starting things off, Scott and Alex break down this week's exciting news. Smash Bros. character reveals, NPD numbers and lackluster Club Nintendo rewards; no stone is left unturned. After that, Zach, Neal and Curtis do a retrospective on Tomodachi Life now that the game has been out for a couple of months. See what the guys think about the quirky life sim now that they've sunk in nearly 60 hours or so. And, be sure to stick around for exciting, relevant discussion about Twilight Princess! Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We are definitely doing a mail segment next week, so why not send your questions in? We'll see you then!

America's birthday has come and gone, and Connectivity is back running at full-steam despite the intrusion of Bastille Day. This week, we have two regular segments and one bonus for you to enjoy. First up, Scott, Alex, and Josh talk about what they've been playing. Turns out, the answer for most of them is anime games! They're great, but also not so great, and that's OK. After that, the three of them move into answering some recently received listener mail. Don't forget to submit your questions to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com Finally, if you're into giant monsters, you can stick around and listen to Zach and Jonny talk all about Godzilla, the King of All Monsters. You can see the listener mail link above, so please submit some! Also, if you have a moment we'd love some more ratings and reviews on iTunes.

Happy birthday America! You're another year wiser. To celebrate, we got you this episode of Connectivity, featuring two wonderful segments. First up is a roundtable discussion on the new Wii U indie game Armillo. It's a enjoyable segment, as is the game itself. Then, Scott and Zack K catch up with each other's PC gaming habits and go deep on the games they've bought in the recent Steam sales. They also ponder a future where Nintendo offers similar deals. We'll see you again next week. In the meanwhile, why not full our mailbox by submitting your questions and/or comments to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Please also rate and review the show on iTunes!

Hello and welcome to episode 139 of Connectivity! Don't tell the other episodes, but I really love this one. Kicking the show off, Alex, Zach and Scott answer your listener mail. The guys answer questions about the future of E3, their favorite Game Boys, multiplayer-focused games and a whole lot more. After that, Zach, Andy, Neal and Alex discuss Shovel Knight, the Kickstarter-backed indie game from Yacht Club Games. This retro-inspired platformer has quickly become a critical darling, and the gang goes over what makes Shovel Knight so unique. Best of all, this segment is spoiler-free up until the last 10 minutes or so, and plenty of warning is given before veering into spoiler territory. After the show, Scott and Jonny return with a new space bonus segment. This week, Jonny discusses his secret favorite space-related topic: space suits! Jonny discusses the history and evolution of space suits while reminding us that being able to survive out in space is equally amazing and terrifying. Be sure to send you

Hello and welcome to Connectivity! We're still recovering from E3 around here, but we do have a packed show for you. First, Scott and Neal talk about the just-released Pushmo World. The guys go over how the 3DS standout makes the jump to Wii U and whether Pushmo-experts should take the plunge. Also, if you are playing the game and making your own puzzles, send the QR codes to us! We'll play them and talk about them on another episode. Extra marks if you make a Connectivity puzzle. After that, Addison and Alex return to E3 with a look at the non-tendo conferences. Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA; they go through each conference and discuss what impressed them. Then they do a little Nintendo reflection, too. Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We got a lot of great reaction mail that we're going to read next week, so be sure to get your thoughts in, too! See you then!

Do you smell it in their air? That certain stench of body oder and Doritos that signals the passing of this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. We've already give you our thoughts on this year's show, so this week we have something a little bit different. Rather than talk E3 2014 to death, we're going back in time. Join Neal as he sits down with Mike and Jonny to discuss the events of the now decade-old E3 2004. It was an awesome year for the show, and now you can relive it just like you did back then. After that, stay awhile and listen to Zack and Zach talk about game collecting. The older will pass knowledge down to the younger, who will eventually grow strong enough to strike down his master and claim the role of Zack-prime. It just won't happen on this week's show. We're gearing up for a big listener mail segment, but we need your help! E3 is the perfect time to submit your questions and comments. I promise we'll answer them on the show. You can submit them to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com And

Welcome to this special episode of Connectivity! Today, we are discussing our reactions to the pretty much insane Nintendo Digital Event. Mike, Scott, Alex and Zach discuss Yoshi's Woolly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda, Smash Bros., Splatoon and everything else that was announce and talked about. Be sure to let us know what you thought about the event in the comments! We'll see you later this week with more coverage.

Like a rocket from the crypt, it's episode 136 of Connectivity! We are in the final count down to the 2014 Electronics Entertainment Expo, or "E3" as the kids call it. Seeing as no real news is ever released at this time of year, we're going to give you pseudo-baseless speculation! We've got some fresh off the dome predictions on what's going to happen with the Nintendo Figurine Platform, Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS, the next entry into the Legend of Zelda series, the new mystery 3DS game, Yarn Yoshi, Metroid, and more! And if you're into that Nontendo thing, we have a brief segment from Alex about Watch_Dogs. Maybe the Wii U version will eventually be released... maybe not. Speaking of E3, with the big show on the horizon, now is the perfect time to submit us your questions and comments to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We'd also really appreciate it if you would take the time to rate and review our show on iTunes.

Man, these delays are becoming a regular things huh? Sorry about that! There were a few technical issues this week, but we've gotten it all sorted out. We have two segments and one bonus segment for you this week. Kicking the show off, Scott and Alex sit down to discuss the biggest news stories of the past couple weeks. The boys go over Nintendo's E3 plans, the end of Nintendo WiFi, the upcoming Smash Bros. tournament, and more! After that, Daan, Addison, and Alex talk about a whole mess of games they've been playing. The God of War Collection, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Denpa Men 3, Ittle Dew, Mario Kart 8, Inazuma Eleven Go, and current GOTY contender Fit Music. Closing out the show, Zach and Neal are back with another movie bonus segment, this time all about Godzilla. What did the guys think about the latest attempt at reviving the monster, now with 100% less Puff Daddy on the soundtrack? Listen to find out! Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Next episode has our E3 p

Hello! Sorry about the delay, we had a little technical difficulty this week. We have three segments for you. First, Scott sits down with Neal to discuss his Mario Kart 8 review that shook the world. Neal explains why Mario Kart 8 is beautiful and fun, but perhaps not all that great if you plan to play alone. Comment below to leave him disparaging remarks! After that, Daan is back with another game show, this focused on sports games. Addison and Scott trained for weeks, and are now prepared to duke it out for the world championship title. Who gets the W? Listen and see! Lastly, we have a bonus segment all about Amazing Spider-Man 2 with Neal and Zach. How did the boys like the webhead's latest movie outing? Well let's just say it'll be a lot less controversial than Mario Kart 8. Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We haven't done a mail segment in a while, so why not send us some mail now and we'll do one soon? Deal? Deal. See you next week!

Welcome to this very special episode of Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week. The first segment is a new game of NWR Jeopardy, written and hosted by Syrenne McNulty. Syrenne backed Nintendo Force on Kickstarter, earning the reward of hosting a segment of Connectivity. She decided she wanted to torture us all by hosting a game of Jeopardy entirely about WiiWare. Neal co-hosts with her while Guillaume, Alex, and Zach do their best to remember the mess that was WiiWare. Between rounds one and two of Jeopardy, Alex comes on to provide a quick reaction to the announcement of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Have some thoughts about the ill-fated WiiWare? Share them below! See you next week.

Hello, and welcome to this bonus segment of Connectivity! Scott, J.P., and Donald returned to record a hockey bonus segment last week, but due to some technical difficulties, it couldn't be included in this week's show. However, it is now complete and ready to go. Wanting to avoid having it be irrelevant by posting it with this Saturday's show, we decided to post it now in the middle of the week. Enjoy as the boys break down the results of the first round and make predictions for the now on-going round two. See you Saturday with a regular episode!

Please stand clear of the doors and keep all children seated as we begin episode 132 of Connectivity. This week we have one big topic to cover: Nintendo's plans for the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014. Do they think the Fils-A-Mech will crush his lowly competitors? Or will his robot body not be ready? Well, you'll obviously have to listen to find out. And then we'll need to actually see our predictions come true when the show actually starts. So it's going to be awhile. Just remain seated and think happy thoughts, and we'll arrive before you know it. Unfortunately, the Curse of Corrupt Audio Files struck this week's second segment, leaving it with only two-thirds of an actual conversation. We're really sorry about that. If the missing audio can be recovered, we'll be sure to add the segment to a future episode. If you have a moment, please send us your questions and comments to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We love to hear them, and will answer them on the show! Also, please rate and review th

Ahoy there kiddos, and welcome to episode 131 of Connectivity! This week, we have three segments for you. Up first is a discussion of Mario Golf and NES Remix 2. Are they awesome? How awesome are they? Oh, that's good to hear. After that we have a real special treat for you: an interview with two of the voice actors from the original Pokémon cartoon. Yeah, it's also awesome. And finally, our third segment is a bonus for you: Scott gives Zack some PC gaming mentorship. Please do send us some listener mail. It'll make us ever so happy. You can get it to us at connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And please rate and review the show on iTunes to help us grow.

It's the PAX East episode! First off, sorry it took so long to get this episode out. It's gigantically long and on top of that we had Easter the weekend after the show. Now, on with the show notes. This week's episode is a little different. At the end of each day of the show, the gang recorded a segment to discuss the day. So what you're getting is those wrap-up segments. After all three of those, there's this year's "pirate panel" version of Who Wants to be a Nintendoaire. That's right, we didn't get an official panel for the first time ever at the show, so we just did our own. Damn the man! Now that we're back from PAX East, we'll be returning to our regular schedule, so expect a new episode this coming weekend. We're running kind of low on listener mail, so please send some in to us at connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And if you have a chance, please rate and review the show on iTunes.

Hello and welcome to Episode 129 of Connectivity! We have one super-sized segment for you this week. Daan, Addison, and special guest Syrenne McNulty come together to talk about games they've been playing and this week's surprisingly dense amount of news. The gang discusses Link Between Worlds, Mario Kart 8, Lego The Hobbit, Disney Magical World, Conception II, NES Remix 2, Tomodachi Life, and a whole lot more. That's it for this week's show! Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. See you next week!

Hello and welcome to Connectivity! We have an extra special episode this week, with three regular segments and an always fun bonus segment. Kicking things off, Neal and Scott sit down with Renegade Kid's Jools Watsham for an in-depth interview about their recently announced Kickstarter for Cult Country. Jools discusses the first-person, survival horror game at length while also veering off to talk about Mutant Mudds, Moon Chronicles and...Iggy's Reckin' Balls?! It's true! All this and much more. After the interview, Alex leads a one-man segment in which he makes wild and bold predictions for next week's Nintendo Direct all about the upcoming Smash Bros. games. Agree or disagree with Alex? Have some predictions of your own? Let us know below before Tuesday, so we can all see how wrong we are! Closing out the regular show, Neal and Scott discuss Pokémon Battle Trozei, the recent eShop match-3 puzzler. How does it stack up (snicker) against other Pokémon puzzle games and spin-offs? We'll let you know! And the
