Bonus Segment: NHL Stanley Cup Final Jun 14, 2013

Show notes

Hey hey. There isn't a regular show this week with all the insanity that was E3, but Scott, JP, and Donald couldn't wait until next week to break down the Stanley Cup Final, so here is a Bonus Segment all on its lonesome. If you are looking for gaming podcasts for your ears this weekend, though, be sure to check out the recordings live from L.A., as well as our own Nintendo Direct impressions and the return of Greg Leahy. We'll see you next week for our regular show!

Connectibite: E3 Nintendo Direct Reaction Jun 11, 2013

Show notes

After a bevy of buffering issues, Nintendo's E3 Direct came and went, and in its wake was no shortage of emotion, both positive and negative. Tonight, JP, Zach, Scott, and Patrick reflect on the Direct and do their best to approach the whole thing in a measured and thoughtful way.

Episode 89: Scooby Clue Jun 08, 2013

Show notes

You can smell it in the air, can't you? It's that special, magical time of year known as the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Maybe it's just the vapors, but we've gone overboard on Connectivity this week with a double-shot of E3 discussion for you on this week's show. In our first segment, we look back into the past with a retrospective on E3 2003. Neal talks with Jonny and Mike, who were actually there, and their reminiscing reveals a surprising number of parallels to Nintendo today. Don't pee your pants. After that, Neal sits down with Scott and Zach to make some predictions for what's going to happen at E3 2013. What's going to happen? It's anybody's guess, but you get to listen to ours. We're in dire need of more listener mail, so please hit us up by sending to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. If you've got a moment, please also rate and review the show on iTunes.

Episode 88: Bells' Hook Jun 01, 2013

Show notes

Episode 88 of Connectivity is here, but we can't simply give it away for nothing. So while you enjoy this week's episode, be sure to run some errands around town for us. Also, buy stuff from us with the money we pay you. Kicking the show off, Andy, Daan, and Justin sit down to talk about Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The trio discuss the new responsibilities of being mayor and where the series can go in the future. To hear the full segment, you'll need to go collect some seashells for us. After that, we have our first ever round of NWR Jeopardy featuring three listeners! Scott and Zach host an epic match between listeners BJ, Daniel, and Chris, who fight tooth and nail for the crown of "best Connectivity listener." Zach is losing his touch, though, as there are zero questions about Primal Rage. Zero! After the show, stick around for another NHL playoffs bonus segment, featuring Scott and Donald. The duo glosses over the boring Eastern Conference series and sink their teeth in to the much more compelling Western Conference. That's it for this week. Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. How about some predictions for E3? We'll read them next week when we preview the upcoming event. Until then!

Episode 87: Time and Space May 25, 2013

Show notes

Welcome to episode 87 of Connectivity, or as we are calling it, "Episode One." Hope there is no confusion with the actual episode one from two years ago, but this is the true "Episode One." Because it's the only "One" you'll need! That is, until it is obsolete and we move on to the next iteration. Then it is "One" for the dump or the back of your closet somewhere. If you hadn't guessed, our main segment this week deals with the announcement of the Xbox One as well as last week's Nintendo Direct. Scott, Neal, and special guest Donald Theriault (from Nintendo Free Radio!) break down both events and look ahead to E3 and more dog gifs. After that, we have two bonus segments for you. First up is the return of The Dr. Jonathan Metts' Crazy Fun Time Space Show! This week, in lieu of answering questions from you fine listeners, Dr. Metts has me take a quiz about rockets he wrote years ago for a sophomore college class he was teaching. If you'd like to play along at home and see just how much YOU know about rockets, the quiz can be found here: https://docs.google.com/a/nintendoworldreport.com/document/d/1zgiQeTPpWFNq0u5xqRSNih9y9U2uEchEcSlOl3t0Fi4/pub Bonus segment number two is all about the season finale of Doctor Who. Patrick, Scott, Nicholas, and Amanda return to discuss the wacky Doctor's latest exploits and postulate about what the final few minutes mean for the future of Who. SPOILER WARNING!!! Also, be sure to check out Amanda's portfolio for plenty of excellent Doctor Who inspired art (http://supinternets.com) AND check out Nicholas' excellent Doctor Who shorts he recorded with some friends (http://youtu.be/xAyw4g0X98s). He's the best Doctor of them all. That's it for this week! Send us your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. What did you think about the Xbox One announcement? What it does it mean for the future of the Wii U? Tell us what you think! See you next week for Episode 88, or "Episode 2"!

Episode 86: Shall We Talk About Batman Now? May 18, 2013

Show notes

Listen up super friends, you're in for quite a show this week. This week on Connectivity we're talking all about super hero games. Neal, Justin, and Scott go in depth into the genre and discuss their favorite games starring men in tights. After we're done talking super heroes, all you hockey fans can stay tuned for a bonus segment featuring Scott, JP, and Donald. They talk all about the NHL Playoffs. Who will win Lord Stanley's Cup? Well, we don't know yet but there are some pretty good educated guesses in here. Don't forget to send your listener mail questions to us at aconnectivity@nintendoworldreport.com.

Episode 85: Make Your Legs Shake May 11, 2013

Show notes

Gather 'round kids and let me tell you a story. This is a story about a little podcast called Connectivity. On this week's episode, we've got three segments for you. First up, Neal and 'Trick go over two newly released games, Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. How do they stack up to their counterparts, and are they worth your time? Listen up and find out! In our second segment, Neal, Lauren, Scott, and Zach grade the Wii U after its first six months on the market. Something tells me somebody is getting a "see me after class" note to take home for their parents to sign. Finally, we've got a bonus segment at the end of the episode focusing on the Playstation Vita. Don't forget to send in your listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And please rate and review the show on iTunes.

Episode 84: Reminds Me of Me May 04, 2013

Show notes

After last week's 3DS blowout and news-a-palooza, this week's episode is a little svelte. Kicking things off, Scott, Mike and Patrick discuss the Rayman Legends Challenges App. The free download is meant to appease fans over the inexplicable delay of Rayman Legends. Does it do that job? Yeah, it kind of does! After that, Scott, Zach and Neal dive deep into Injustice: Gods Among Us, the DC fighter from the people who brought you Mortal Kombat. The trio has much to say about the impressive array of game modes, the simple and intuitive combat, and more! Long story short, if you are a fighting game fan or a DC fan, Injustice is for you. After the outro, stick around for a bonus segment all about the ongoing NHL playoffs with Scott, JP, and special guest Donald Theriault (who you may know as Shaymin). The crew breaks down each match-up, makes some tame predictions, and generally hates on the Canucks. As always, you can send your listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com; which you should totally do. Until next week!

Episode 83: We All Hate Danny Apr 27, 2013

Show notes

Have we got a show for you! Kicking things off, Carmine, Daan, and Aaron talk about a smattering of just-announced 3DS games they got a chance to play, including the sequel to A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Mario and Luigi Dream Team. This is a must listen! After that, Scott, Tyler, Zach, and Danny break down the week in news before discussing their impressions of the newly launched Wii U Virtual Console. One of us is much happier about the line-up than the others. Can you guess who? After the outro, you'll find another Doctor Who bonus segment with Scott, Patrick, and special guest Amanda Albert. The crew reviews the first half of season 7B and shares a good number of crack pot theories along the way. You'll never guess who is really a TARDIS! That's it for this week. As always, you can send us your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. Be sure to let us know what you think about the recent Iwata and E3 news, as well as what games you think the Virtual Console absolutely needs. See you next week!

Episode 82: Paddy O'Furniture Apr 20, 2013

Show notes

We're doin' it live this week on Connectivity. By that I mean you're hearing Neal, Trick, and Tyler's running commentary on the most recent Nintendo Direct. If you haven't seen it yet, things might be a bit confusing. There's also some bonus talk after the commentary ends. In segment number two, Zack, Kim, and Andrew go all roundtable and look back on the history LucasArts has had on Nintendo platforms, and some potential futures for Star Wars games as licensed properties. Don't forget to send your listener mail to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. And please rate and review the show on iTunes.
