Connectivity Cookie Catastrophe Nintendo Direct Reaction Mar 29, 2025

Show notes

After a fissure in space time opened in Chicago, multiple eras of Connectivity hosts were pulled together into an Air B and B. Then completely unrelated Nintendo decided to have a Nintendo Direct so we quickly and poorly recorded a podcast with whatever we had sitting around.

Episode 399: ReCore Connectivity Game Club Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

John Rairdin arrives with his pick for the Game Club and let's just say it doesn't go over quite as well as Outer Wilds did. Join us as we look back at what should have been an incredible spiritual sequel to Metroid Prime, but was instead a budget title developed in an afternoon.

Announcing the Connectivity Game Club Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

While John and Neal take a break from weekly Connectivity episodes, we've decided to pivot to a new format inspired by our popular Game Club episodes. Starting in July we'll be posting monthly (hopefully) episodes of a brand new Game Club. But this time, rather than basing games around a specific franchise, each member of the cast will choose a game to make everyone else play through. We'll be recording our first episode based on Melanie's pick, Outer Wilds in mid July. Pick up the game on your platform of Choice and play along with us!

Episode 397: Nintendo is Releasing Something This Fall Mar 15, 2024

Show notes

John and Neal return after a month off with a new, somehow even less structured, podcast format. Nintendo has announced release dates for all of their confirmed 2024 games and they cut off in June. Nintendo has something unanounced happening this fall. Could it be Metroid? Mario Party? Hyrule Warriors?

Episode 396: Xbox Does Exactly What They Said They Would and Everyone is Scared Feb 16, 2024

Show notes

John and Neal provide the NWR podcast update on the Xbox Business Update. Ultimately it's pretty much all exactly in line with what Xbox (and John and Neal) have been saying they would do for the past decade.

Episode 395: The Best of Classic Literature on NES Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

A bit of listener mail sends John and Alex down a winding path of replaying games they've already finished. Alex is drawn in by the siren song of Earthbound. John decides to see if he can beat Star Fox Zero without motion controls (for science). Then the fellas turn their attention to listing off their most replayed games and things get oddly literary.

Episode 394: Games Take a While to Make Jan 26, 2024

Show notes

Some listener mail leads us down a discussion of the development of Metroid Prime 4 before turning our attention to some recent Microsoft news (We recorded this before they laid off 1.9k staff). Finally Neal revisits a classic Pokemon game and John expresses his thoughts on the recent Palworld controversy (We recorded this before the Pokemon Company put out a statement).

Show notes

Alex joins John for a short episode as we enjoy the calm before the storm. 2024 gets off on the right foot with Prince of Persia. The NSO adds two games we hope we like as much as we remember. And finally Ace Combat is apparently making its way to Switch. Connectivity has joined Twitter, so be sure to follow @ConnectivityNWR to be up to date on any announcements.
