Episode 65: Let's All Play Picross!
« on: August 13, 2011, 10:16:57 AM »

The eShop dominates this week's Newscast. Oh, and Neal raps.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newscast/27446

With Neal back this week, the show opens with a discussion of a few of his favorite N64 games. If you thought to yourself after listening to last to week's episode, "Yeah, but what about Buck Bumble and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball?" then you are in luck! We also discover that Donkey Kong 64 wasn't the only game that played a rap upon being booted up. This one is actually kind of good, too.

After that, we jump straight to the 3DS. First, we remind you, in a timely manner I might add, to make sure you get online for the Ambassador program if you haven't already, as enrollment just ended a few days ago. If you didn't already get online and you are short a TARDIS, we apologize. 

From there, it's games new and old, with a little complaining about navigating the eShop sprinkled in for good measure. Call of Duty, Let's Golf 3D, and Antipole make up the bulk of the conversation before we all shift focus to the glory of Mario's Picross. Learn surefire ways to lose your job during this informative segment!

You might know Angel Studios (the Ken Griffey N64 makers) better under their current name... Rockstar San Diego.

Yes, they did Red Dead Redemption.

*jaw on floor* Holy crap!

Man, it's a damn shame they've been able to reach the greatness of Griffey 64... :P

Mike was talking about how Picross was great for playing feverishly during his breaks, and he's right. But if he, or anyone else, needs another e-Shop game to fill in that void, I heartily recommend the Game & Watch Gallery. Only $3 for eight different games, all of which are fine twitch titles, especially on the hardest setting.

Basically, I haven't heard near enough talk for one of the best Gameboy games ever, so I'm taking this chance to push it.  ;D
