Episode 136: I Don't See Kerfuffle May 31, 2014

Show notes

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.

Episode 135: Staples May 27, 2014

Show notes

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 predictions segment, and we'd love to read some of your predictions, too, so send them in! We'll see you then!

Episode 134: Kart Attack May 20, 2014

Show notes

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!

Episode 133: Let's Go With Primal Rage May 10, 2014

Show notes

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.

Bonus Segment: NHL Playoffs 2014 May 06, 2014

Show notes

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!

Episode 132: I Send A Robot May 03, 2014

Show notes

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 the show on iTunes to help us grow.

Episode 131: A Sweet Nice Family Game Apr 26, 2014

Show notes

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.

Episode 130: PAX East 2014 Apr 19, 2014

Show notes

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.

Episode 129: How Babies Are Made Apr 12, 2014

Show notes

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!

Episode 128: Cult Connectivity Apr 05, 2014

Show notes

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 there might just be something else in this segment, too... After the show proper, stick around for a bonus segment all about the finale of How I Met Your Mother with Neal and Zach. What is the Smoke Monster? How does Walt get back to New Mexico to exact his revenge? What happens to Rachel and Ross? The boys explain it all! That does it for this week's show. Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Enjoy this extra special episode, and we'll see you next week!
