Join us this week when we make our own E3 predictions, and be sure to join us next week when we distance ourselves from said predictions.

My "out-there" prediction: A good Wii game from Ubisoft!

Jonny continues to spurn his listeners and fellow RFN cast members, so the rotating hosting duties finally land in the lap of Nintendo World Report European Correspondent, Greg "Sexy Pipes" Leahy.

With the gear-up to E3, this very special RFN focuses on what we know will be at E3 and what our intrepid panelists: Greg, Jon, and James expect to see there. A short segment is devoted to speculation on theoretical DS titles, but the majority of the time is given to the Wii.

This week also features 11 instances of Ubisoft hate, and is unusually bereft of Jonny jokes.

I'm not buying Unnamed for the DS until Crimm gives me his review.

Gamerankings couldn't help me with this Unnamed game either - it thought I wanted some Peter Jackson 360 project...

It got a 7.

Well...it will... when I write it.

Saying negative things about Pikmin 2 makes you guys my enemies for life, but otherwise it was a great show. I'm surprised that there was no mention of a possible appearance of the Wii Kirby game seeing as the last time I checked it was still listed for 2008 release in Japan.

Crimm · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:10:17 PM »

That totally slipped my mind. I can't believe Kirby Wii didn't come up... even after we talked about the DS game.

Hey James, it keeps slipping Nintendo's mind considering they've had it listed as a 2008 game since late 2006, so it's only natural.

I'm going to open up a contest for anyone who can guess the person of questionable sanity that we were discussing during the beginning of the stinger.
Clue 1: He owns an NFL team.

Has it really been listed as 2008 for that long? Kirby in 3D has so much potential that I really want to see it and see it done well. As for the contest, the only owner I can think of right now is Art Rooney. I'd question his sanity, or the sanity of anyone who wanted to have anything to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:46:32 PM »

This is one of the first references to Kirby Wii on a release schedule (scroll all the way to the bottom of the long list) back in September 2006:

http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732678p1.html

It's listed there last as TBA, whereas most everything else towards the bottom is listed as TBA 2007, so I remember taking that to mean it would probably be an '08 game.

And no Art Rooney is not the correct answer, sorry.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:50:08 PM »

I was pretty sure he wasn't, I just wanted to take advantage of an opportunity to take a shot at the Steelers and have it be somewhat on-topic.

This poor thread

D_Average · « **Reply #12 on:** July 14, 2008, 12:29:51 AM »

Great show guys! And in all seriousness, Greg you did fabulous job moderating!

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2008, 01:00:30 AM »

Yeah, Greg did a great job as host, that was the most on-topic episdode I've ever heard.

And thus Greg was never allowed to host again.

Crimm was full of spit and vinegar wasn't he? I will testify at his upcoming trial.

For some reason, RFN episodes 22 and 27 just showed up in the RSS feed as if they were new episodes.

Back to people we know and love, Evan is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, meaning Stan, Jonny, and Karl, but not necessarily in that order. They discuss:

* Pre-Wii-Ordering = Stupid

Still hilarious after all these years!

P.S. One day if I have a whole lot of time on my hands, I'd really like to make a compilation reel of Crimm's greatest hits.

All the Perrin Kaplan talk reminded me of this thread. FYI, Kairon loves Perrin Kaplan.

Also, I disagree with James' Pikmin 2 assessment. It fixed alot of the flaws with the first Pikmin. More Pikmin types, no day limit, more exploration focus; essentially all of the problems I had with the first. I think it introduced one flaw which were the dungeons you dove into. They grew tiresome over time and could've been done more tactfully. Pikmin 3 will hopefully introduce new concepts when/if it comes out.

I enjoyed all the ::ding:: sounds... Crimm, you should work silly sound effects like that into every episode...

Whenever Jonny mentions Magic the Gathering...
Whenever Lindy gets harassed for late reviews...

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2008, 03:34:29 PM »

I still think a Factor 5-made Star Fox game would be fantastic. Just make it like Rogue Squadron but with Star Fox.

Like Crimm said, they can't do games with walking...well, Star Fox doesn't have to have walking

ShyGuy · « **Reply #20 on:** July 14, 2008, 03:42:04 PM »

So Kairon ~~told~~ promised me a new podcast tonight, with E3 coverage. I waiting to tune in.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #21 on:** July 14, 2008, 05:06:55 PM »

Supposedly. All I can tell you is that me, Greg, and James have the night off, which means we'll sit around on Skype sipping expensive scotch and talking about our investments while smoking cigars.

Crimm · « **Reply #22 on:** July 14, 2008, 05:17:44 PM »

My smoking jacket is just back from the cleaners.

Something about hearing that "1, 2, 3, Clap" sync technique really disturbs me... it's like listening in on some sort of pitiful drum circle.

I would pay money for a Silks Yoshidious and Crimm alterna-podcast this week.
