We've got reactions to Zelda's huge world, a follow-up on Wii U's health, and lots of new games!

We are four this week, and Jon starts the show with a bang for a long discussion of the newest Legend of Zelda for Wii U footage. New Business begins in earnest with Jonny's first impressions of Xeodrifter for 3DS, plus a catch-up with Puppeteer, Sony's mouthy 2.5D platformer. Guillaume tries a demo for Shapes of Gray, coming later to Wii U, and he also gains a belated appreciation for Mario Kart 8. Before the break, James takes just a few minutes to report on the game he just couldn't resist, Phoenix Wright Trilogy.
We have a true feature segment for you this week, as a piece of pre-emptive Listener Mail and the timely release of NPD sales data for November provide the perfect opportunity to revisit one of our most famous episodes on its first anniversary. We're brutally honest about the situation, as always, but things really do look better these days. There will be more variety next time, so please write an email about any old thing!
BTW I don't know why the Now Playing at NWR segment features only Jon and James these days, but I mostly approve. I feel that James and Jon's relationship has only deepened, if you will, as a result of making these segments a duo. Kind of an ebony and ivory thing going on, where does one end and the other begin, who knows? You could tell last week that James missed Jon in the segment. Jonny did his best, but lack of practice didn't leave him with his A game. Whereas even lower quality audio didn't prevent Jon from getting back in the groove smoothly. The Bear Jones seemed to approve and so do I.
