NWR Connectivity

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 [email protected]. 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!

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.

Do you know where we're going? Well, where we're going, we don't need roads. First off, Zach and Neal take a quick sojourn down the rabbit hole of Bioshock Infinite. But don't get comfortable! Because the past versions of Tyler, Trick, and Neal intervene in a previously unreleased episode of the Planet GameCube Newscast. The trio talks about the Square Enix merger, Resident Evil's GameCube exclusivity, NHL Hitz Pro, and more. After that, Trick and Neal become a pair of sea-faring heroes as they discuss their feelings on Wind Waker on a lost segment from Planet GameCube Connectivity. Don't worry. Next week, we will be back in the right universe. You wouldn't want to stay in the one from this episode. It's the darkest universe. I mean, Scott has one arm and Mike is dead. It kind of sucks.

How y'all doin' this fine Saturday afternoon? We're doing just dandy here at Connectivity. This week, we've got one big segment for you, old school style. You'll hear Neal, Scott, 'Trick, and Tyler talk about upcoming Wii U and 3DS games as well as what they've been playing currently (hint: lots of Bioshock Infinite). Send us some mail! Send it now! Send it to [email protected]! We'll treat your questions right and take them out for a nice steak dinner before we get all nasty on them in our next listener mail segment. You should also rate and review the show on iTunes.

Hello, and welcome to Episode 79, our PAX East recap! Kicking things off, we have a segment recorded from the hotel room after day 2 featuring just about everyone who was at PAX East. We make a lot of dumb jokes, and talk about the variety of games we saw, including Deus Ex, Shovel Knight, Toki Tori 2, DuckTales, and more! Also, there was lots of beer involved. After that, you'll find the entirety of our live game of Who Wants to be a Nintendoaire? Listen along as contestants from the audience fight tooth and nail for one of our illustrious prizes. Also, hear the audience groan audibly at least three (3!) of the questions written by Zach Miller! Thanks to everyone who came to Nintendoaire or just said hi over the weekend.

Welcome to Episode 78 of Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week. Starting the show off is a "What We've Been Playing" segment with Alex, Neal, and Andy. The trio talks about a bunch of current and upcoming games, including Lego City: Undercover, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. After that, Carmine, Scott, Kim, and Zack discuss the first video in the Tropes vs Women in Video Games series. The gang covers the initial controversy surrounding the Kickstarter campaign, the content of the first video, and the overall place for a discussion about women in video games. Guaranteed to be divisive or your money back! That's it for this week. Have some constructive thoughts about the Tropes series? Click here to send 'em in.

Episode 77 of Connectivity is live, and we have three great segments for you this week. Kicking the show off, Mike, Scott, and Zach first answer a question about our take on the recent SimCity debacle and the idea of changing reviews to reflect launch problems for games. After that, the trio talks about the recent games they've been playing, including StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, The Cave, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate and more. Next up, Zack, Tyler, and Josh discuss their feelings about retail and digital games. Are they ready to acquiesce to the ominous cloud and abandon all physical possession? As it turns out; no, they aren't. Rounding out the show is a more thorough conversation about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, featuring Neal, Nate, and Zach. Nate talks about his sterling 8.5 review of the game and whether or not the change in style should ward away fans of the classic Symphony of the Night. So that does it. As always, you can click here to send us some listener mail. Oh, and don't forget, we are hosting a live game of "Who Wants to be a Nintendoaire?" at PAX East next week. If you are going to be in Boston for the event, come say hi and compete for some pretty cool prizes!

Hello and welcome to episode 74 of Connectivity! We have two segments for you this week. Kicking the show off, Scott, Neal, Nicholas, and Tyler celebrate Star Fox's 20th anniversary with a series retrospective. The guys discuss the highlights and lowlights of the space-bound vulpes' career. Also, the segment was recorded the night of 1UP's closure, so some time is spent openly weeping on mic. After that, Neal, Patrick, Zach, and new staff member Curtis Bonds talk about what games they've been playing recently, such as Brain Age, Ni No Kuni, Pokémon Black and White Version 2, Dead Space 3, and more! Zach also announces that he thinks Back to the Future 3 is the best of the Back to the Future movies. Please tell him he is wrong. Please.
