NWR Connectivity

Hello and welcome to episode 166 of Connectivity! We only have one segment for you this week, but it's a doozy.

This week, the original Newcast gang (the show that eventually spawned Connectivity) reunites for a special super-sized show. Neal, Zach, Andy and Nathan discuss recent Nintendo news and a whole bunch of games they've been playing, including Smash Bros., Picross 3D, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mario Kart 8, Far Cry 3, Fantasy Life, Monster Hunter and more. Plus, the crew goes all "old man" and laments the good ol' GameCube days.

We'll be recording our favorite winter/snow/ice level music soon, so be sure to send your submissions to [email protected]. We'll see you next week!

Howdy neighbor, come on in and sit down with a nice cool episode of Connectivity. On this week's episode, we're answering your questions. Well maybe not YOUR questions, but questions submitted by people like you. But maybe actually you, if you're lucky. Questions include: How improved is the New 3DS over the OG 3DS, what games to play with your significant other, and a whole bunch of questions about the end of Club Nintendo.

Plus, we have a bonus segment for you! JP, Donald, and Scott meet up to talk about the NHL season as we're about halfway through the season.

Now that we're out of listener mail, we need more! Send them in to us at [email protected]. Also if you have a moment, please give us a nice review on iTunes as it really helps spread the word about the show.

With thanks to Nintendo for giving us so much to talk about, here's episode 164 of Connectivity. If you could't guess, there was a Nintendo Direct recently, and we're going to break it down all nice for you. Don't forget you can catch these news breakdowns as we record them live during Nintendo News Report.

Please keep sending in your listener mail to us at [email protected]. We love it ever so much. Also, please help spread the word by giving us a 5-star rating and review on iTunes.

Hello, and welcome to episode 163 of Connectivity. We have two segments for you this week.

Kicking the show off, Scott, Alex and Addison share their top 3 Nontendo games from 2014. That's right, forsaking all things Nintendo, the guys discuss a wide variety of 2014's best PC, PS4, Xbox One and Vita releases. I'd list some of them here, but I don't want to ruin the surprise (or horror).

After that, Neal joins special guest and Nintendo Force backer Nick Oehlberg to discuss local StreetPass communities, including StreetPass Princeton. While online play is great, Neal and Nick share stories that illustrate how rewarding it can be to meet in real space with a group of like-minded gamers.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, that being when this week's episode of Connectivity is released. I'm not gonna lie, it's been hard to get everybody together to record lately, but here we are again, with two segments to share. First up is a discussion of the new Legend of Zelda Wii U footgae that was shown off at the Video Game Awards. After that, we break down the news, but not like you're used to. You'll be listening to the first episode of Nintendo News Report, our new weekly live-streaming news segment.

Smash Bros. has some amazing music, and we'll be talking about it on an upcoming episode. But we need your help. Please submit your favorite Smash Bros music tracks to us at [email protected]. We'll feature your picks, along with some of our own, on an upcoming episode. You can send any other sort of listener mail there too.

Hello! We are back from our Thanksgiving break and have a great, super-packed show for you this week.

After that, Alex, Bryan and special guest Joe Merrick of Serebii.net go in-depth with Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. These Pokémaniacs discuss how the re-imagined games compare to the originals, analyze how modern elements are implemented, and talk about what generation deserves the next revisit.

Hello and welcome to this week's Connectivity! So happy you could take a break from Smashing and Pokémoning to join us. We have two segments for you this week.
