A super-sized episode featuring talks about New York Comic Con and the EB Games Expo.

Boy oh boy, do we have quite an episode of Connectivity for you this week! Kicking things off, Nicholas and Andrew discuss what they saw and played at the recent EB Games Expo that made its way to Australia, including a handful of Nintendo's biggest upcoming games.

After that, Neal is joined by Pedro, J.P., and James as they talk about Super Mario Land 2, which just recently became available on the 3DS eShop. Is the quirky platformer worth your four bucks? These fine gentlemen will let you know!

Next up, Danny joins Scott to share his experience at the Legend of Zelda concert in Japan, which he was lucky enough to secure a ticket to. Listen in as Danny talks about the performance as well as the steps he took in creating his Tingle costume for the event.

But wait, there's more! Neal, J.P., and James return once more to talk about the latest 3D Classic, TwinBee! This segment meets the standards of most of the games in the 3D Classics series, meaning that it is a thing that exists. Instant classic.

Lastly, Neal joins up with Jared and Josh to go over Nintendo's showings at this year's New York Comic Con.

As always, you can go here to send us some email. Thanks for listening!

i guess you guys recorded before Friday's press conference. It's all good

That's what the next episode is for.

This is the best episode yet, I really enjoyed all of it. The only thing I would suggest is a way to end it better. The podcast seems to run out of gas and not have a proper ending

[oksoda]

Thanks, Adolf. You're absolutely right, the news all came out on Friday, and we had recorded earlier in the week. I'd look forward to some chat about the news next week.

And I agree about ending the show. We kind of wanted the appearance of each segment to be that the staff is just having a conversation rather than talking directly to the listeners, so we opted out of a lot of addressing them. But I suppose a nice outro, like the intro, wrapping things up would help the flow.

Er, Adolph. Whoops.

Might I suggest:

<With Wrestler Flair> Connectivity. *Guitar Smash* WOOOHoooo *Explosion*
Generic Mic Producer: And that's a wrap People.

I second Ceric's notion!

Now that I think on it more.  Have a different "Off Mike" comment at the end of what I said.  Like:
"Now lets get a burger."
"How many time do they say Nintendo?"

The quality of the audio is bad this time.  At least on my machine.  Sounds like someone put it all through one of those "Sound like a Transformer" Voice Boxes with White Noise addition.  I tried both the AAC and MP3 Download.  Is it just my system?

Sounded relatively fine when I was editing it this week. The only tracks that were a little tinny were J.P.'s on his two segments, but otherwise I thought everyone sounded good. But I could be biased.

[NWR_pap64]

Yeah, I only notice the change in quality when JP was on. Heck, I thought I was going to be the worst sounding of them all due to me using a headset, but the sound surprisingly came out great on my end

My first listen to the new format, and I like. Nice work on the editing, Mr. Thompson. Question: What's the music the introduces the NYCC segment? It's driving me crazy (in that I can't think of it even though it's awesome and on the tip of my tongue). Thanks.

Thanks! It's none other than Gang-Plank Galleon from Donkey Kong Country. It plays during the final battle with K. Rool. It's always been one of my favorites.

Glad to see you guys are thinking ahead of me. The lack of an outro has been my biggest complaint about the new format. The segments are good, but the show as a whole just kind of ends. It makes the whole experience a little less enjoyable.
