We've got games and games and games on this week's Connectivity.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/connectivity/33770

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 (including some mostly no/light-spoiler Bioshock Infinite talk.)

Send us some mail! Send it now! Send it here. 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.

Dark Souls is fair Shut Up!!


haha, so I just got the point in toki tori 2 where you learn how to fast travel, and with that part they should have at least shown the player which waypoint to go to next. That's the one genuine flaw I've found with the game. Other than that, it's great

I won't be listening to this but if someone is saying that Dark Souls isn't fair they, quite frankly, suck at the game. The game is unforgiving, but completely and utterly fair.

Toki Tori 2 definitely feels like Metroid 1, great comparison. Just instead of run and gun action pieces it dispenses puzzles in a non-linear way. And sometimes you have to repeat them again just to traverse to certain point which might get tiring.

Still love the game. And MiiVerse community for this game is just great, it feels like it was made for this kinda of games.

no spoilers, but the issues of racism in bioshock are never ever addressed at all. so don't look forward to that. [/spoilers]

I think Neal sold me on Injustice, a feat since I was with Tyler on this one: I suck at fighting games so they suck.

LEGO Batman 2 is very interesting. I had never played a LEGO game before Undercover and loved it, and I know the girlfriend loves them. I just don't know if she's interested in this particular license.

Holy crap, Tyler sold me on Most Wanted. The hell am I gonna do with all those open-world games?

I found that Bioshock went pretty heavy handed with the Nazi allusions very quickly. They even have a big sign saying "Strength through Leisure" on Battleship Bay, a direct riff on the Nazi project "Kraft durch Freude" (Strength through happiness) that included things like Volkswagen. Because of that I deliberately tried to land as many executions as possible shortly after getting the melee weapon.

Makes sure you're getting Wii U/Xbox/PS3 version of LEGO Batman 2 cause hadheld version lose open world aspect.

On Injustice -- i think i will be getting this game, just not day one, probably a few months in after price will go down a bit and depending on support.
