Pikmin 3, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, and Game & Watch on this week's show!
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/connectivity/31060
Connectivity returns this week with episode 42, featuring the past, present, and future of Nintendo-related content.
Kicking things off is the final installment in our Pikmin series, focusing this week on Pikmin 3. Join JP, Andy, and Carmine as they discuss what we know and what they hope is on the horizon for the Wii U launch title. If you can believe it, they even flirt with the idea of Pikmin 4, too.
After that, Nicholas returns with another entry in his award winning* N-Focus series. This week's segment is all about the history of Game & Watch.
Lastly, Neal, Scott, Danny, and Nate sit down to talk about their latest obsession - Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. If you are on the fence about this game, this segment should definitely win you over. And if you already have the game, well, you probably aren't listening to this because you are too busy playing.
As always, you can click here to send us listener mail. Let us know what you thought about the three week long Pikmin series. If a big hit, we may just start doing more of those. Oh, and on a personal note, I (Scott) have now officially been with Nintendo World Report for one year. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who listened, commented, emailed, tweeted me, and everything else. I can't put into words how amazing it is to be doing this show for such an excellent audience. Thanks for everything. See you next week.

To the question of what other games could be given the Theatrhythm treatment, I would kill for a Zelda version. This game sounds cool, but I've never really played any of the games, except FF1.If you like Rythm games and Orchestrated music. Then get the game. People are putting to much emphasis on the Final Fantasy aspect. Its a draw for some people but if it didn't have it this would still be a good game.
How about a Pokemon Theatrhythm game? That would be awesome. You have to play the battle song well to capture Pokemon. The higher the level or rarer the Pokemon, the harder the difficulty is. Using a Pokemon that is super effective will increase damage and ease the difficulty.Except Pokemon Stadium 1 still has some of the best rendition of Pokemon Music. It could definetly work. Shoot you could still do Event, Field, and Battle. Still have a party structure. Still have items and abilities. I wouldn't require much tweaking at all to fit.
Excuse my boner.

As someone who doesn't have much nostalgia for the Final Fantasy series I will never buy Theatrhythm, so I can't wait for more of the staff to get Rhythm Thief. It's a great game well worth discussing.
