Hello and welcome to episode 127 of Connectivity! We have three segments for you this week. Kicking the show off, Daan sits down to interview Lewis Pugh about his upcoming Wii U eShop title, Twisted Fusion. Lewis describes the open world action platformer, his experience developing for the Wii U, and the game's upcoming Kickstarter campaign. To keep up with all the latest news about Twisted Fusion, be sure to follow Lewis on Twitter at @leuvsion. After that, Scott joins Daan to discuss Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. The brain-busting crossover just released in Europe and Australia, with a US release to follow later this year. Daan breaks down how well the two worlds combine and how long-time fans of both series will receive the game. Finally, Scott, Alex, and Addison host one final, postmortem discussion of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The boys talk about expectations and how the 2-D platformer ultimately stacks up against the giant ape's other notable adventures. What did you think about Tro

Welcome to Episode 126 of Connectivity! Have a seat, here's a menu. May I suggest segment one: The State of the Wii U. It's very analytic. Oh, not your style? OK then, then how about segment two: Listener Mail. It's full of your very own questions. What? You hate other people? Then our third segment is for you: What We've Been Playing. It's a classic. Serioulsy though, that listener mail segment was kinda short. Only you have the solution to that problem, dear listener. SEND US MORE to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com.

Here we go again on our own, going down that only road we've ever known. The road in question is Connectivity, of course. We have a banger of a show for you this week, with three full segments. Let me just tell you about it. First up: It's the Alex and Zach show. Two of your favorite Connectibites get their synergy going by discussing the latest news and then breaking into the listener mail bag. You're going to love it, or your money back. Secondly, there's a big, fascinating interview with the creator of the forthcoming Wii U indie game: I've Got to Run, Syrenne McNulty. This one-woman developer spills the beans on her creation to Scott and Neal. Check the game out when it launches next quarter, and be sure to listen close to this segment for a special announcement. And finally, Neal and Donald from NFR break down the NWR Madness competition that's going on RIGHT FREAKING NOW. Thanks again for sending us listener mail guys. Please send more to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Also, please rate and r

Hi again folks. We're back with yet another episode of Connectivity for you to listen to while ignoring your girlfriend! Well good, because that's exactly what I have for you right here. First up, we've got a double-header of a segment. We start with a rundown of what we've been playing lately, and boy have we been playing alot. After that, we flow into some listern mail. In our second segment, we focus in on Yoshi's New Island for the 3DS. We actually have so much that we couldn't cover it all in this episode, which is awesome! We intend to answer more questions in a future episode, so be sure to keep sending your questions in to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Please also rate and review our little show on iTunes!

Welcome to episode 123 of Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week. Kicking things off, Alex joins retired Nintendo World Report staffer Tyler Ohlew to discuss Inazuma Eleven, the Level-5-developed soccer RPG that just hit the eShop in North America and Europe a few weeks ago. The guys talk about the quirky game as well as their surprise that it has been released in America. Oh, and for everyone else in the world, you get to cringe every time they say "soccer" instead of "football." Hooray! In the second half of the show, Daan hosts another game show, this time all about the months of January and February. Scott returns to compete against NWR-newcomer Addison Webb as the duo answers questions about recent news stories, music from platformers, and Mario history. Next week we are doing another listener mail segment, so be sure to send us your questions! You can send it to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We will see you next week!

Hello and welcome to episode 122 of Connectivity! We have three segments for you this week. Kicking things off, Alex, Neal, Scott and Zach talk about games they've been playing this week, including Bravely Default, Assassin's Creed IV, and the Pokémon Transfer and Bank apps. There is also a little Vita discussion and a super serious deconstruction of slavery. After that, the boys answer some listener mail. Topics include Nintendo licensing out its properties, the Smash Bros. hype train, competitive gaming, and championing the black sheep of different video game series. Closing out the show, Daan and Andy discuss Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, a game they both recently reviewed for Nintendo World Report. The boys talk generalities for the majority of the segment before veering into light spoilers at the end (but don't worry, they give a fair warning when they do!) Keep sending us that listener mail! You can send it to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Let us know what you think about Donkey Kong

There sure has been a lot of news for the middle of February, hasn't there? As a result, this week's episode of Connectivity is loaded with current events. In the first segment, Neal, Zach, and Alex go over the latest Nintendo Direct, including the announcement of the addition of the Koopalings to Mario Kart 8. Secondly, Scott talks with Neal after his return from an eShop event in New York City where he played a whole ton of upcoming indie games. We have a listener mail segment in the can for next week, but if you want to get in on a future episode you should send your listener mail to us at connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. You should also rate and review the show on iTunes, just because.

And so another Saturday is upon us, and it is time for yet another episode of your favorite video game podcast named "Connectivity", it's Connectivity! Being that this is the last episode to air before Valentine's Day, we felt it would be appropriate to discuss all the things we truly love about Nintendo. There won't be any negativity here folks, so prepare for some gushing from Scott, Daan, and host Alex. Continuing on with our theme of love, it's the seemingly final installment of a segment that I know at least I love to pieces. It's Name That… Pokémon with your host Josh and contestants Kim and Becky. I hope you sure like awkwardness and pineapple juice, because this segment has plenty of both! We didn't get any listener mail last week, you guys! And you had been so damn good about it up until then. Let's fix this. Send us listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com, and when you're done go ahead and rate and review the show on iTunes. Love, Mike

Welcome to episode 119 of Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week. Kicking things off, Alex, Scott, and Zach break down the huge news from this week's earnings report. The future of the GamePad, the implementation of near field communication, DS games on Wii U, Nintendo and smartphones, and plenty more! What did you think about the reveals, and do they make you any more or less confident in the Wii U? After that, the guys read a ton of great listener mail. Where have all the Kremlings gone? How does Nintendo World Report handle review copies of games? How does someone join the great staff here? What's the future of 3D for Nintendo? These and plenty more questions are answered! Thank you for all the excellent listener mail. How about sending some more? You can send your mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Be sure to let us know what you thought about this week's big news. See you next time!

Hello and welcome to Connectivity! This week, we have two segments for you. Opening the show, Alex, Mike, and Zach answer some listener mail. Specifically, what does the future hold for Iwata if he is fired as president of Nintendo? After that, the boys discuss what they've been playing lately, including Pushmo, Epic Mickey 2, SteamWorld Dig, EarthBound, and NES Remix. After that, Daan joins Scott to preview the first half of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Don't worry, there aren't any real spoilers here. Instead, Daan breaks down the differences between Returns and Tropical Freeze, illustrates how each of the Kongs is used in levels, and applauds the excellent music. We like answering listener mail, so why not send us some more? You can send it to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com! Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next week!

Back again, like the prodigal son that it is, it's a brand new episode of Connectivity! I bet you didn't expect that, did you? Oh, you did? Well here's a gold star for you. Good job. Anyway, we've got two segments on this week's show. Daan has been working on this original gameshow idea, our first segment, for a few weeks now. I'm sure you'll agree that it was well worth the wait you didn't know you were going through. After that, Zach and Scott sit down to discuss the games that truly defined the Wii, and not just the good ones. We'd really like some listener mail. I swear we love reading it, but that's not possible when you don't send it in. Please send us some words to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And if you've got a moment, please rate and review the show on iTunes.

Here we are with yet another brand spanking new episode of Connectivity. Your second for the year 2014, in fact. We are re-ringing in the new year with two fantastic segments. First up, we gaze into the future and preview all of the major games announced for the year so far. Will there be good ones? What about bad ones? Is Bayonetta 2 ever going to be released? Find out all these things and more! After that, everybody's favorite segment returns. Josh stumbles back into that abandoned studio to once again find Kim and Becky. The three of them do their thing and play yet another round of Name That Pokémon. Just remember, Josh is always right. Do you have a favorite Pokémon? Or maybe just a question you'd like us to answer? We could really use some of those. Make it your new year's resolution to send us listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And you should rate and review the show on iTunes too!

What better way to kick off the start of 2014 than with a look back at 2013? On our first segment this week, Scott, Neal, Alex, and Zach discuss their favorite games of the year. Each host has picked his three favorite games to appear on a Nintendo platform and one non-tendo game and, surprisingly, there isn't very much overlap. Super Mario 3D World, a Link Between Worlds, Pikmin 3, Luigi's Mansion; who picks them and where do they place? You'll just have to listen to find out! Be sure to comment and tell us your favorite games of the year, too. After the outro, Scott, Nicholas, and Amanda return for another Doctor Who bonus segment, centered this time around the Christmas special and Matt Smith's final episode. From plot holes to the future of Doctor Who, the gang leaves no stone unturned. As always, you can send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. What has you excited about Nintendo in 2014? Let us know!

Hello and welcome to the penultimate episode of 2013! We've got two segments and one bonus segment this week. Kicking the show off, Alex joins Danny and Josh to discuss--no, not Pokémon--the future of the Wii U in light of last week's dismal sales numbers. The guys break down what's gone wrong and how they think things could be improved. Maybe just throw Pokémon at it? Speaking of Pokémon, in the next segment, the wacky game show "Name That Pokémon" returns! The increasingly insane Josh guides Kim and Becky through another round, bending the rules as he goes and threatening bodily harm throughout. A great segment for the family! After the outro, Scott, J.P. and Donald get together for a long overdue NHL segment. The group goes over the season so far before reviewing the first episode of HBO's 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic. Spoiler: it was kind of bad. Sad face. As always, you can send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Be sure to join us next week for the very last episode of 2

Hear ye, hear ye, good listeners of Connectivity. I bring unto you the one hundred thirteenth episode of your beloved Nintendo focused audio programme. This delightful episode begins with a dour discussion of Nintendo's recent sales trends. Our second, and far more jubilant segment, finds your hosts discussing the games they've been playing most recently. If you crave more content, a bonus segment on dinosaurs follows the regular show. Send us some listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And please rate and review our show on iTunes.

I hope you aren't still asleep from Thanksgiving, because over here at Connectivity we are finally awake and back in action. First up on this week's episode, Scott, Daan, and Zach break down their favorite games from the first year of the Wii U's life. You may be surprised at their choices. You may not be. I really don't know much about you so it's hard to guess. Then, Josh stumbles back into the studio for a second round of Name That Pokémon with Becky and Kim. Who will win? Who will lose? Will Josh explode from drinking too much Red Bull Zero? You'll have to listen to find out. Pro Tip: DO NOT QUESTION JOSH. Finally, Connectivity's Whovian contingent reassembles to discuss the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special. I swear we love listener mail, but we never answer it because you never send it in! Change that up, and send your questions and comments to us at connctivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Also, please rate and review the show on iTunes.

Welcome to our second special podcast for this week! Today, we have a special postmortem interview with Image and Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson conducted by our own Daan Koopman. The duo discusses the development and social media-fueled marketing of the game, its surprise success, and what is next for Image and Form as well as SteamWorld Dig.

Welcome to another Connectibite, this week focused on Super Mario 3D World. Neal, Andrew, Justin, and Daan have each played and reviewed the plumber's upcoming Wii U foray, and they sit down and discuss the game in intricate detail here. But fear not, unlike in the Nintendo Direct, the boys give a clear spoiler warning halfway through when they begin to cover specific levels and bosses. Enjoy this Super Mario 3D World review companion piece, and we'll see you next week!

Other consoles? What other consoles? Let's talk Nintendo, baby! In our first segment, Mike, Danny, Zach, and Alex breakdown this week's Nintendo Direct. From the surprising announcement of Miiverse and Nintendo Network ID support on the 3DS to the groan-inducing Super Mario 3D World spoilers, the group covers it all. Plus, it turns out two of the four have never played Super Mario Galaxy 2, and at that realization, they were summarily executed. To avoid execution, those guys could have used a great lawyer, which brings us to our next segment. James and Alex return for the second half of their Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies discussion. The boys don't hold back this time though, and the segment explores the game with full spoilers. So, if you haven't finished yet, you may want to beware. However, if you've bested the eShop exclusive, be sure to enjoy. That's it for this week. As always, you can send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Oh, and next week we won't have a r

Welcome to the podcast kingdom of the world, Connectivity! We have realms of content waiting to be explored. Come on in. On this week's episode, we have three segments for you.

In our second segment, Daan joins the Twins for a breakdown of the recently released slate of Wii U sports games including Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club Tennis and Bowling, and Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games. Finally, RFN's James Jones joins Alex for a rousing spoiler-free discussion on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies. Next week, they'll go full spoiler.
