NWR Connectivity

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 [email protected]. See you next week!

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 [email protected]. Enjoy this extra special episode, and we'll see you next week!

Hello and welcome to episode 127 of Connectivity! We have three segments for you this week.

Kicking the show off, Daan sits down to interview Lewis Pugh about his upcoming Wii U eShop title, Twisted Fusion. Lewis describes the open world action platformer, his experience developing for the Wii U, and the game's upcoming Kickstarter campaign. To keep up with all the latest news about Twisted Fusion, be sure to follow Lewis on Twitter at @leuvsion.

After that, Scott joins Daan to discuss Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. The brain-busting crossover just released in Europe and Australia, with a US release to follow later this year. Daan breaks down how well the two worlds combine and how long-time fans of both series will receive the game.

Finally, Scott, Alex, and Addison host one final, postmortem discussion of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The boys talk about expectations and how the 2-D platformer ultimately stacks up against the giant ape's other notable adventures. What did you think about Tropical Freeze? Let us know!

That's hit for this week's show. Be sure to send your listener mail to [email protected] We'll see you next week!

Welcome to Episode 126 of Connectivity! Have a seat, here's a menu. May I suggest segment one: The State of the Wii U. It's very analytic. Oh, not your style? OK then, then how about segment two: Listener Mail. It's full of your very own questions. What? You hate other people? Then our third segment is for you: What We've Been Playing. It's a classic.

Serioulsy though, that listener mail segment was kinda short. Only you have the solution to that problem, dear listener. SEND US MORE to [email protected]. Also please rate and review the show on iTunes.

Finally, please take a moment to visit http://fundanything.com/patenttroll to learn about how you can help the podcast patent troll legal defense fund. Please consider contributing a few bucks to keep your favorite podcasts on the air.

Here we go again on our own, going down that only road we've ever known. The road in question is Connectivity, of course. We have a banger of a show for you this week, with three full segments. Let me just tell you about it.

First up: It's the Alex and Zach show. Two of your favorite Connectibites get their synergy going by discussing the latest news and then breaking into the listener mail bag. You're going to love it, or your money back.

Secondly, there's a big, fascinating interview with the creator of the forthcoming Wii U indie game: I've Got to Run, Syrenne McNulty. This one-woman developer spills the beans on her creation to Scott and Neal. Check the game out when it launches next quarter, and be sure to listen close to this segment for a special announcement.

And finally, Neal and Donald from NFR break down the NWR Madness competition that's going on RIGHT FREAKING NOW.

Thanks again for sending us listener mail guys. Please send more to [email protected]. Also, please rate and review the show on iTunes.

And finally, on a more serious note, a word about patent trolls. These companies buy up patents, and then use them to sue small businesses that cannot afford a legal battle in order to make a profit. These trolls are currently threatening the podcasting industry, but we are fighting back! Please take a moment to visit http://fundanything.com/patenttroll to learn more and please consider contributing a few bucks to the legal defense fund, to keep your favorite podcasts on the air.

Hi again folks. We're back with yet another episode of Connectivity for you to listen to while ignoring your girlfriend! Well good, because that's exactly what I have for you right here.

First up, we've got a double-header of a segment. We start with a rundown of what we've been playing lately, and boy have we been playing alot. After that, we flow into some listern mail. In our second segment, we focus in on Yoshi's New Island for the 3DS.

We actually have so much that we couldn't cover it all in this episode, which is awesome! We intend to answer more questions in a future episode, so be sure to keep sending your questions in to [email protected]. Please also rate and review our little show on iTunes!

Welcome to episode 123 of Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week.

Kicking things off, Alex joins retired Nintendo World Report staffer Tyler Ohlew to discuss Inazuma Eleven, the Level-5-developed soccer RPG that just hit the eShop in North America and Europe a few weeks ago. The guys talk about the quirky game as well as their surprise that it has been released in America. Oh, and for everyone else in the world, you get to cringe every time they say "soccer" instead of "football." Hooray!

In the second half of the show, Daan hosts another game show, this time all about the months of January and February. Scott returns to compete against NWR-newcomer Addison Webb as the duo answers questions about recent news stories, music from platformers, and Mario history.

Next week we are doing another listener mail segment, so be sure to send us your questions! You can send it to [email protected]. We will see you next week!

Hello and welcome to episode 122 of Connectivity! We have three segments for you this week.

Kicking things off, Alex, Neal, Scott and Zach talk about games they've been playing this week, including Bravely Default, Assassin's Creed IV, and the Pokémon Transfer and Bank apps. There is also a little Vita discussion and a super serious deconstruction of slavery.

After that, the boys answer some listener mail. Topics include Nintendo licensing out its properties, the Smash Bros. hype train, competitive gaming, and championing the black sheep of different video game series.

Closing out the show, Daan and Andy discuss Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, a game they both recently reviewed for Nintendo World Report. The boys talk generalities for the majority of the segment before veering into light spoilers at the end (but don't worry, they give a fair warning when they do!)

Keep sending us that listener mail! You can send it to [email protected]. Let us know what you think about Donkey Kong so far. We'll see you next week!

There sure has been a lot of news for the middle of February, hasn't there? As a result, this week's episode of Connectivity is loaded with current events.

In the first segment, Neal, Zach, and Alex go over the latest Nintendo Direct, including the announcement of the addition of the Koopalings to Mario Kart 8.

Secondly, Scott talks with Neal after his return from an eShop event in New York City where he played a whole ton of upcoming indie games.

We have a listener mail segment in the can for next week, but if you want to get in on a future episode you should send your listener mail to us at [email protected]. You should also rate and review the show on iTunes, just because.

And so another Saturday is upon us, and it is time for yet another episode of your favorite video game podcast named "Connectivity", it's Connectivity! Being that this is the last episode to air before Valentine's Day, we felt it would be appropriate to discuss all the things we truly love about Nintendo. There won't be any negativity here folks, so prepare for some gushing from Scott, Daan, and host Alex.

Continuing on with our theme of love, it's the seemingly final installment of a segment that I know at least I love to pieces. It's Name That… Pokémon with your host Josh and contestants Kim and Becky. I hope you sure like awkwardness and pineapple juice, because this segment has plenty of both!

We didn't get any listener mail last week, you guys! And you had been so damn good about it up until then. Let's fix this. Send us listener mail to [email protected], and when you're done go ahead and rate and review the show on iTunes.

Love,

Mike
