B.B. Action drops in to help answer a few emails.

This week's show gets an unusual start, as Billy jumps in for the first half-hour or so, Gui shows up a bit late due to technical problems, and for no reason in particular, we shuffle the order and do Listener Mail first. The first couple of questions are perfect softballs for Billy's rants on how to enjoy Wii U (Monster Hunter) and the cancellation of Nintendo's E3 press conference (he is opposed). The rest of the gang is also quite verbose on these topics, describing our current outlook on the console, picking apart recent development news from EA and such, and looking ahead to how Nintendo can make the upcoming convention work for them in a year when most of the general attention will be focused elsewhere. Then Billy has to drop out so he can support the NWR Community Night (next chance to play with him and other NWR peeps is Monday night, May 20), and the rest of us soldier on with another question about the next 3DS revision and some fan mail for James.
It definitely felt weird to do New Business after the break, but there's no hit to the quality of the games we played or what we have to say about them. Jon is first with Nano Assault EX, the 3DS eShop version of a game that some of us loved in other forms -- yet he struggles to find the appeal. Gui checks out a recent big digital release, Mario and DK: Minis on the Move, which increasingly sounds like a game we should all buy. James has a follow-up on Darksiders 2, which he powered through despite severe technical glitches (that will never be fixed, thanks to THQ's demise). Jonny concludes both this episode and another game on his priority list with Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, a charming but flawed revival for the franchise.
E3 is fast approaching, so we'll have our show predictions soon and would also enjoy seeing your own thoughts, expectations, and questions about the biggest event in video games.
Don't ever change, James! I love your humor.... Though I am the same guy who loves Jim Sterling's humor on Podtoid. I believe good ol' Jim went on a 50 minute rant on rubber dildos on last week's episode. It was amazing. And yeah, the game talk was cool, too. Never change. One other thing: opinions!

I was happy with this post...then it went to a place I don't feel great about being compared to...
...it wasn't Jim Sterling part...more his topic of conversation
and Jon well lets be honest Jon is old. :D
Are we going to regurgitate the same complaints about the Wii U launch until the games come out? Because if that's the case, then this podcast is going to become very repetitive until August.
Making the same complaints over and over and over again is not going to make these games come out any sooner. "Give us these games. Give us these games." Give you what games? Games that aren't finished? Look, it's a sucky situation, it has been for a while. But you guys act like Nintendo is sitting around doing nothing, rather than what they are actually doing. They're busy making these games that you all want to play.
As much as it sucks, the time for complaining about this issue has passed. They know the complaints. They've heard the complaints. They've blatantly told us that they're working to fix things (whether via Directs or other means). The time for waiting has arrived. I don't like it any more than you do, but your complaints are falling on deaf ears, because they're not listening to you, because they're already working hard to fix the things you're complaining about.
It's getting kind of annoying listening to the same complaints over and over, so find something new to complain about please.
James Jones is a pretty great wide receiver on the Green Bay Packers. He's seemingly cured his issue with dropping balls that he had during the Super Bowl run, and with Jennings and Driver gone, he could totally step up and be the number one.
Keep up the good work, James!
