Topic: Nintendo Pirate Radio: RetroActive Fridge Raid

[Pryopizm]

We now interrupt your regularly scheduled RFN for this randomized tour through the Wii Shop Channel.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/34336

This episode is a major departure from the usual format, as the show is hijacked by the original gaming podcast pirates, Karl and Stan, as co-creator Mike Sklens and innocent bystander Jon Rind look on. Jonny is there too, compelled to host or else walk the plank right out of his own window.

The first main topic is an overview of Wii U from the perspective of three guys who are playing it for the first time this week -- in ideal conditions, no less. Impressions are strong, and despite some reservations about the current lineup, there is considerable hope for the unveiling to come at E3 in just a couple more weeks.

The second half of this episode is spent recounting our exploitation of Jonny's SD Card in Wii Mode, which is chock full of obscure Virtual Console games (from nearly every platform supported) and even more obscure WiiWare exclusives. It's an all-you-can-play buffet, and the list of games is just too long to recreate here, but you can follow the related game links on the right sidebar for more information about most of them.

The normal RFN crew will be back next week, with highly (or morbidly?) anticipated E3 predictions, plus all the actual new games they've been enjoying over a week off from the show.

Haha awesome. Pirate Radio is back!

[Retro Deckades]

What a coincidence! I just happened to begin listening to all of the old "Nintendo Pirate Radio" episodes a little over a week ago.

[Sarail]

NPR! Brilliant surprise! Haha...listening now!

[Shaymin]

Y'arr, there had better be Sweet Pete or ye be walkin' the plank.

[Pixelated Pixies]

Pulseman has been done a great disservice.

[Damaba]

looking forward to the predictions. Seems like after the Xbox one reveal, people have begun warming up to WiiU.

[Traveller]

Mario Kart could of been amazing on the Wii if they had used the pointer and flicking motions for control instead of steering..

[ClexYoshi]

should have gotten James to host this.

[Traveller]

should have gotten James to host this. :

Haha yes! They could of reviewed Cocoto Kart Racer.

[Pandareus]

Cybernator, not Cybertron.

I've been re-listening to some old RFN episodes. I put this Pirate Radio episode in the queue and thought it was the next one that started. When the next episode began, I heard Jonny and Karl and thought this is going to be good, then Jonny introduced Greg, Jon and James. I thought "Greg's on the show? Wait, Greg's in Colorado with Jonny? Hold on..." it was episode 122. :p
 
Great little show and good discussion. Ya'll seemed to be having a good time. I've seen various Twitter pics and it seems like the gang got to see some good sights.
 
As for NPR... imagine Morning Edition hosted by Sweet Pete and Blue Balls.

It's heart-warming to see that there are people who remember Sweet Pete and Blue Balls.  Karl and I guessed there were maybe 6 people who remembered and 4 of them were at the table recording this episode.

Couldn't one of the admins tell you? Surely both are stored on the server. The password if nothing else.
