Episode 209: Poochy Pups And Sad Skunks Sep 11, 2016

Show notes

Hello and welcome to episode 209 of Connectivity. Nick's internet was still out as of the recording date, so Daan assumes the host's chair again. He is joined by Bryan and a relocated Adam. The first segment is an extended What We've Been Playing segment. Adam has been concentrating on Pokemon matters with a Go update as well as a look at Pokemon Omega Ruby and the many misadventures that ensued. Bryan is currently waist-deep in Metal Slimes, as he received Dragon Quest VII for review just before the show, and escaped with the Epoch in Chrono Trigger (DS version). Daan has been subjecting himself to some of Skunk Software's finest, because someone had to. Thankfully, the new StreetPass Mii Plaza games prove there is some quality left in this industry. Following that, it's a look back at the September 1 Nintendo Direct. Though upstaged by recent mobile news, the Direct did provide 3DS owners with fun and a bit of mystery going into 2017.

Show notes

Hello and welcome to episode 207 of Connectivity. This week's show is hosted by Daan, Bryan and Carmine. In non-Pokemon Go games, Bryan has been playing Super Mario RPG, but since we'll probably talk about that later he tries his hand at becoming the next Dana White in World of Mixed Martial Arts 4 on the PC. Carmine is giving away some amiibo (rules can be found on the website) but also has plunged into the quirky eShop titles The Battle Cats POP! and Unholy Heights (along with nonTendo mobile game Tiny Tower). Daan has been fighting off blocks in Tumblestone and dealing with the number one threat to Europe and Australia in Teddy Together while dealing with other larger threats in Monster Hunter Generations. For the main discussion, it's all Pokemon Go. We look at the game's launch and what can be done to improve it, as well as curse the abundance of various wild Pokemon and examine what the runaway success of Go means for the Pokemon franchise in general.
