Podcast Discussion / Re: Episode 7: More Expensive Because We Care

« on: November 05, 2011, 06:50:32 PM »

I ended up sending my thoughts about the pricing in as an e-mail, so I'll say that the expansion port discussion was a great way to nerd out and I'm cursing my brokeness preventing me from grabbing Return to Dreamland RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW.

At least I can redirect the part of my brain that gave a crap about Cave Story 3D, dood.

It's also a fairer reflection of the Xbox's target market.

They're pricing it like a Wii game, so I'll do like I do for most hyped 3rd party Wii games and wait for reviews and a price drop if necessary.

Much more details are on the way, but for now, please mark your calendar for Saturday, November 19th at Noon Eastern.

Key words; For now. They may have to push it back to allow for, among other things, Skyward Sword discussion (Neal's looking for people reviewing the game for other outlets to come on for an hour).

If you'd like to subscribe to NWR Connectivity, you can do so by visiting the iTunes music store. And while you're there, why not spend $1.99 (cheap!) on the NWR Connectivity App,* which will give you one-touch communications with us via the voicemails, the emails, the Twitters, and the what haves you. And HEY Android cell phone telephone users...

*There is no app. Currently.

Funny, because the Android users are boned. It's not even on Amazon.

Winning Pokemon gets released on wi-fi in February. Ditto's ability is auto-Transform and it MAY allow for other abilities to be unlocked.

If not, at least vote for Arceus lest you end up in hell.

For most companies, these are the things they plop out for the profit to make their new stuff. Capcom is especially guilty of this.

or Nintendo should have NST make a shooter, Metroid Hunters wasn't bad, but they should just make something with a Sci-fi theme, but no fucking ghosts.

If they were doing that they probably wouldn't announce it at the LA Auto Show...

I'm predicting there's going to be a massive Mario 3D Kart tournament announced with the winner getting a full sized go-kart with Mario livery.

For some psychotic reason, Oblivion is that guy's GOTF. Also, I heard him on a podcast around the time of Skyrim's announcement, and I believe he reached orgasm.

This isn't really stunning.

The only home version of SSF2 Turbo that released was for the friggin' 3DO, and I'm not sure if it would fit in the VC Arcade size limit.

Sony recently reported that PSN sales were up 14% in the months following the PSN hack (and Sony's had a good retail software year).

If that's true that is unfortunate, because heaven knows they don't deserve it after the **** they pulled.

It's going to be up 15% after I get done with it at Christmas. Of course, I'm using a disposable e-mail, and a prepaid credit card or PSN cards. Do I win?

Would integrating Paypal into the eShop be a good idea? All I would have to do i deposit my money and buy all th suff that I want.

Paypal is NEVER a good idea.

This makes me wonder if Nintendo might actually give in and release Operation Rainfall titles?

The exchange rate is probably the main reason we haven't gotten them yet, quite frankly. I don't see that changing.

But yeah, a lot of that is beyond NCL's control - the US dollar's in the tank and they'll need to fellate the Stonecutters to get anything done about the British pound.
