http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/sitenews/41550/6th-annual-nwr-live-podcast-telethon-for-childs-play

It's time again for the Nintendo World Report live podcast in support of Child's Play. This year we've set taller goals, have a more ambitious schedule, and are planning more twists than ever before. This all-day marathon serves one purpose: to help kids in pediatric hospitals by providing them the toys and games we all enjoy. We hope you can join us for the best thing NWR does all year.

We have all 14 hours of the show, and we will be releasing them throughout the week, in four, three hour, chunks. If you don't subscribe to Radio Free Nintendo, you should, but if you did you would automatically get each episode delivered to the player of your choice.

Part One (MP3) (Enhanced AAC) - Introduction and Live Now Playing, RFN and the Third Dimension, The Future of the Nindies, Amiibo SuperChargers

Part Two (MP3) (Enhanced AAC) - J&J Dream Factory LLC, Games We Love to Hate, A Different Kind of Sonic Adventure

Part Three (MP3) (Enhanced AAC) - LIVE! Radio Trivia Non-Podcast Edition!, Famicast Live with John Davis and Cheesemeister, Connectivity: Mario Sunshine Retrospective

Part Four (MP3) (Enhanced AAC) - NNR: The Future of Nintendo, NFR: Garage Banding, Dinosaur Chat, RFN Hot Takes

This is our sixth time doing this, but if you never got to see one yourself you can go check out the shows from years past: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and  2014

Amount does not include $1,970.13 being matched by Nintendo of America! Thanks for their support

WHAT: An epic Nintendo/gaming-themed live audio "podcast"telethon
WHY: For Child's Play, a charitythat provides toys and games to sick kids
WHO: Nintendo World Report staff, special guests, andyou!
WHEN: Saturday, December 5, 2015 from 11:30am Eastern (8:30am Pacific, 4:30pm GMT) until...?
WHERE: Right here, so bookmark this page!Check back soon for the audio stream, live chat, and donation link.
HOW:Magic of the Internet

Here atNintendo World Report,we've long been supporters of Child's Play, the fantastic charity thatprovides toys and games to hospitalized kids. If you're not familiarwith Child's Play, check out the official website and listen to Jonny'sRFN Special interview with Mike Krahulik, co-founder of the charity(and Penny Arcade), way back in 2007. So, when our old friend KarlCastaneda brought us an idea for doing a special, live-streaming podcast to support Child's Play, we got excited. Not only can wedo things live that don't make sense in a recorded show, likereal-time listener interaction, but the lack of editing means there arefewer constraints on how long the show can run. Then we thought... whynot do it telethon-style, all day long? It's been a great success so far, and this year we're hoping to raise more money than ever for this excellent charity!

***If you are new to NWR podcasts, please be advisedthat the show contains explicitlanguage. We're doin' it for the kids, but the show itselfis for grown-ups.***

I'll see what I can scrape together over the next couple of weeks here, given that I'm one of the NEETest individuals out there. Still, I try to throw in what little I can when I can.

Radio Trivia got pushed deep into the lineup this year! here's hoping we make it there!

if we end up needing a crazy stretch goal, can we get the future promise on a BOP of DOOM or The Wizard?

[Disco Stu]

Radio Trivia got pushed deep into the lineup this year! here's hoping we make it there!

Right? The live Radio Trivia is easily the highlight of the telethon every year for me.  So now we have to get to AT LEAST $3000.

[Crimm]

I'm sorry about that. Scheduling is hard

[TOPHATANT123]

Disney Infinity?
Paging Cellsai

[fred13]

How much did you guys make last year?

[Disco Stu]

I'm sorry about that. Scheduling is hard

Oh I definitely wasn't complaining.  Hopefully it's extra motivation to reach the goal, putting a beloved segment later in the schedule.  We can make it!

[Crimm]

Last year we collected $6205, but previously we have collected over $7000

[TheYoungerPlumber]

Thanks for the kind words on Radio Trivia. I'm confident we'll make that goal!

[Shaymin]

Hmm, a doubleheader for me this year.

#bringit

[KisakiProject]

I may actually be able to listen live for once.  Looking forward to it.  Donated early.

[TOPHATANT123]

The hot take segment sneak preview is amazing, and I have a few hot takes of my own regarding Metroid Prime. Schedule permitting I look forward to sharing them.

[Wah]

when you say child's play i ALWAYS think the movie series.

[rlse9]

Where's the stretch goal that involves James Jones playing Sonic: Rise of Lyric from beginning to end?  That would bring in the big money.

[Crimm]

I'm open to it. Under protest. But open to considering it.

[Wah]

Where's the stretch goal that involves James Jones playing Sonic: Rise of Lyric from beginning to end?  That would bring in the big money.

without the knuckles glitch or any skipping.

[KeyBilly]

Is Sonic: Rise of Lyric the dunk tank of games?

[doug]

GMT start time should presumably say 4.30, rather than 5.00.

[Crimm]

RIGHT! Thanks doug!

[MASB]

I'm probably going to have to miss the first half of the day. Already donated a bit and will probably do more when I get back. Unusual request, but can anyone make a log of the NWR chat room for the day? That's one of my favorite parts of the day, following the insanity of the chat!

[rlse9]

Awesome that Nintendo is matching donations this hour.  Can't listen live but looking forward to listening to the podcast over the next couple weeks.  Hope the telethon goes well.

[Caterkiller]

What's happening monday? Something big!?!?


Is Ridley finally getting announced playable for Smash?!

[ClexYoshi]

I think the things that will stick with me through this one is Rodger Goodall 2 for the NES and Gui's half-awake bitterness that Nintendo survived the console wars.

[TOPHATANT123]

I'm inclined to believe megaton monday is actually Minecraft Monday. From what I remember the conversation sort of went like...


Daan: So Damon now that we are reaching the end of the segment what can you tell us about what fans have to look forward to in 2016 and 2017?

Damon: Well I can't actually remember what we have announced and what we don't (chuckles) so let's see, in the immediate future we have Hyrule Warriors Legends and Final Fantasy Explorers, in terms of indies there's Rive...

Daan: Oh my gosh I love Rive, at E3 I sat down with the developers and played it for like an hour.

Damon: Next week we have Fast Racing Neo and Steamworld Heist. Also look forward to Monday.


Neal: What's Monday?


Damon: Just look forward to it.


Neal: What time?

Damon: Ummm, (can't remember might of been like 2 or 5 pm)o'clock.

Neal: Which timezone?

Damon: Hmm, that would be your timezone Daan.


Where does Daan live you ask? Well in the Netherlands on the CET time zone. You know what else is on the CET timezone? Sweden. Which is where Mojang (aka Minecraft) is located. Unless my memory is mistaken (or Damon Baker was mistaken) it was to be Minecraft Wii U.
