A long time ago in a Skype chat far far away, we recorded this episode of Connectivity. Actually, we did it this week, so I guess that's not really very long ago, but you get the point. On this episode, we're kicking off a three week series on the Pikmin franchise, with a discussion of the original Pikmin for the GameCube. Some people say it is the best. Are any of those people on this episode? You'll have to listen to find out. Following that, Neal, with some help from Patrick, interviews owner and director of Renegade Kid, Jools Watsham. They talk about basically every game Renegade Kid has released on the eShop. Spoilers: there are a lot of them. After the show proper ends, stay awhile and listen to Scott, James Dawson, and Nate talk shop about Diablo III. Please accept our apologies for the less than perfect audio on the interview segment. There's only so much post-production can fix. We love you, especially when you write to us. Please send your listener mail questions to connectivity@nintendoworldreport

There certainly wasn't a huge announcement to talk about on this weeks show, but there was still plenty to discuss. Patrick and J.P. got together to discuss mainly 3DS news. After going through all of the Nintendo downloads the two discussed a Heroes of Ruin demo as well as Bravely Default: Flying Fairy's release date. Finishing up the show the 3DS Circle Pad Pro was discussed as well as all the news that came out of Nintendo's annual shareholder's meeting. If you ever have anything you want to tell us, feel free to write in.

Remember when everyone was mad about the Nintendo E3 press conference? Well, what a swift turn of events, as palpable rage has acquiesced into quiet befuddlement. Here to break down the events of Nintendo's, what, like third press conference this week, are Scott, Andy, and Grant. The gents go over what was revealed (or not so revealed, in any case) at the 3DS-centric event. Enjoy the show. This will probably be the last podcast until next week, but who knows, we might just all find something else we want to complain about. In the meantime, click here to send us some listener mail!

The Nintendo E3 Media Briefing has come and gone, for better or worse. While you were scouring the rest of the site for all those sweet juicy news bites, the Connectables sat down and talked for a bit about our reaction to Nintendo's big media event. From Pikmin 3 to LEGO City Undercover to ZombiU, we talk about the announcements that were dropped during the press conference. What did we think? You'll have to listen to find out! And hey, while you're at it you should send us an email telling us what you thought of the show. We'll be doing a listener mail segment in the near future with your thoughts on the big show.

(The lights dim in the tightly packed theater. The crowd cheers emphatically as the Connectivity logo appears on the screen at center stage. Loud techno and dubstep tracks test the fortitude of the theater speakers while some of Connectivity's greatest moments play out on the screen. After a few minutes, the sizzle reel ends and the lights come up. The speakers crack as the announcer's voice bellows "and now, please welcome to the stage, Director of Nintendo World Report and host of Connectivity, Neal "Baby Face" Ronaghan!") Thank you, it is a pleasure to be here. It's been a great year for Connectivity, and we are excited today to talk about the future. To talk about things to come. But first, we must talk about the past, for everything has one. Even the future. I'd like to welcome to the stage Zach "Long, Latin Name for a Dinosaur" Miller and Andy "Where the Hell is Pikmin 3?" Goergen. Now, let's talk about the past. Specifically, E3 2002. (Lights dim again) (Later...) Now, the moment you've been waiting fo

We've made it. A bit later than usual (please accept our apologies) but Connectivity is here once again to fill your ears with lovely little bits of audio, hand crafted in our artisanal podcast studio. This week we have a few wonder little segments for your listening enjoyment. First off, Neal, Scott, Zach, and myself tackle some listener mail including the topic of the show's namesake: the GameCube Connectvity fad. After that, Carmine interviews independent game developer Jason Rohrer about his upcoming title, Diamond Trust of London. And finally, we close out the show with a good old fashioned round of Connectivity Jeopardy, which includes some trivia of E3s past, as well as a time capsule of classic Planet GameCube Trivia Night questions from 2002! Now that our mailbag is running on empty, why not help us out by submitting your questions to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Please also rate and review us on iTunes.

James Dawson makes his News Digest debut as he joins Neal to talk about Ubisoft and why he doesn't care too much for them. Also, we journey down the rabbid hole to muse about Rayman, Assassin's Creed III, Killer Freaks from Outer Space, and Kingdom Hearts. We sojourn over to Layton Land and talk about the "well duh" reveal of a trademarked Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask for 3DS. Then, the pair talks about this week's downloads, which is highlighted by a Game Boy Color game and an update to WayForward's MIghty Switch Force. Then Neal goes all crystal-ball-y and is just like "Man, Nintendo's presser is gonna be cray."

It's time for the NWR team to cover the latest news, and boy is there alot of interesting news to talk about. Patrick and Pedro get together to discuss all of the juicy rumors, including a Wii U tablet redesign, a Metroid and Starfox crossover, and a new Castlevania game.

I'm not afraid to say it: this week's episode is real, real good. Starting things off, Neal and Patrick sit down with the winners of our Kid Icarus tournament, Team IcarusGAF, to talk about the tournament and its controversy.

Welcome to the next edition of Connectibites News Digest. In today's episode Neal is once again joined by Patrick to cover all the latest news. First up is a ton of news about Nintendo's downloadable services. We quickly discuss this weeks Nintendo Downloads as well as the possibility of Rayman Origins being distributed digitally. After all the downloadable news is over the Wii U becomes the topic of interest. We run down the rumored Wii U launch lineup, despite it looking very false, and the list of Ubisoft's Wii U games in development. As always, if you have any comments, questions, or just suggestions, feel free to write in.

Neal and Patrick sleuth it up in this latest issue of Connectibites News Digest (yes, we have a name courtesy of The Famicast's James Charlton) as they try to figure out the case of the missing Capcom 3DS and Wii U games at E3. Next, they try to get to the bottom of Pikmin 2's June release in North America, while wrestling with the demons of Xenoblade's unreported North American sales numbers. After they solve the mystery of Order Up's North American delay to eShop, they talk about Jason Rohrer's Kickstarter and posit how trite LEGO Lord of the Rings sounds. Neal brings up the Nintendo-published Wii U and 3DS title LEGO City Stories in the eleventh hour, leading to a possible E3 sequel where the boys find out where the game has been since being announced during Nintendo's press conference last year. If you have any other crimes that need solving (or any comments/critiques/questions), feel free to write in. We love to hear from you.

Hello, please have a seat. A pleasure to see you all once again! Welcome to episode 34 of Connectivity. This week's show is svelte, featuring two segments. First up, Scott, Mike, Andy and Zach talk about weird endings to old 90's sitcoms about dinosaurs... then they read listener mail! So, something for everyone. The gang tackles issues of digital download trepidation and how Smash Brothers can learn a thing or two from the old WCW wrestling games on the N64. First thing: the ability to make characters' faces bleed. After that, Carmine and Pedro join Scott and Zach to talk about Wii U hype, or lack thereof. The guys also talk about the system that had them freaking out in the past. How stoked are you, the fair listeners, for Wii U? Let us know! That'll do it for this week.

On today's episode of the News Digest, Neal and Patrick get together to discuss all the latest news in the world of Nintendo. We cover the Wii U controller and price rumors that were buzzing around the web tonight (excite!). Next are Nintendo downloads (boo!), as well as news that the 3DS Virtual Console is actually receiving a new game next week (yay!). Avengers and Killer Freaks Wii U news almost closes out the discussion, but we finish strong with some very brief impressions on Mario Tennis Open.

The second week of News Digest kicks off with Neal and our Euro Bro Daan Koopman talking about the Retro Studios and Star Fox Wii U rumor. Then we slide into some more rumor bait with a possible new Resident Evil 3DS game and Blockbuster UK's totally fake list of Wii U games. Neal impersonates Miyamoto and talks about how the Vita has no games, and then we finish it all up with a dose of XSEED and Shin'en. We welcome your questions/comments/critiques. We want to make News Digest as good as possible, and we only know it's quality if you speak up. Of course we're all going to tell each other it's good. We at Connectivity love patting each other on the back.
