Topic: PODCAST: Radio Free Nintendo: Episode 108

[NWR_Lindy]

No, you're not.  But I'm not wrong for voicing my opinion, either.

[ShyGuy]

Nintendo to NWR HARDITIONAL Staff: "we don't care what you want"
NWR Harditional staff to RFN Listeners: "we don't care what you want"
RFN Listeners to pets/loved ones: "abusive relationships roll downhill, I'm gonna throw things at your head."

[DAaaMan64]

No, you're not.  But I'm not wrong for voicing my opinion, either.

Jeez you have to say that a lot lately don't you. See my first post again:

I mean bring EVERYTHING back to some negative about Nintendo gets a little irritating.  James does it too, but at least it's witty and discussion focuses less on "Nintendo sucks" and more on the solution or something. I actually pretty interesting when Johnny, Greg, and James get talking about how stupid Nintendo is sometimes, but it's much less of a bitch fest than this was.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Well here are my quick thoughts after hearing the show:

First off I want to plead the 5th on talking about your guest. With that said this has to be one of the most negative anti-Nintendo shows I've heard from you guys. What depressed me the most is Greg getting shoved in the corner, and I could not help but notice displeasure in Greg's voice by the show being dominated by 360/PS3. I really hope this will not be common because if the unthinkable happens and Greg becomes disenchanted by the show and takes a lesser role I will be leaving it as well, and I am sure many will follow. It is no secret Greg is the most popular member of your team and to distance him in episodes like this is sickening to be honest. Hopefully it is just a one time thing.

In regards to Lindy's tastes. That is great you have a opinion but at least share them on Wii games whether they are positive or not, it is called discussion and no one is saying you have to agree just that it would be nice to hear more talk on games that Wii owners will be interested in. Like I said the professional thing to do is whether you personally are excited for something at least discuss it.

P.S. Apologies to Johnny it is still evident you still support Wii, though I still disagree with how the show was handled today.

[NWR_Lindy]

Yeah, this was a bitchfest, but that's because it was about E3 (again) and Billy and I have nothing positive to say about that.

Since that's done, you won't hear the absurd level of bitching going forward.

Edit: And yes GP, the talk will be more Nintendo-centric from now on.  Why?  Because now that E3 is over, Wii games are actually getting announced.  Ha!

[Kairon]

The idea of Kairon being a loony Nintendo hater is so hilarious.  He's a fanboy if I've ever seen one.

Somehow I don't think that was a compliment...

[NWR_DrewMG]

I have to say that I enjoyed this show, as always, because the hosts echo my frustrations with Nintendo.  The frustration they voice is the frustration I've felt as a traditional Nintendo fan for the last 3 years, so it's nice to know that it's not just me being frustrated like this - even one of the best Nintendo sites out there is frustrated.

So yeah.  Don't be afraid to voice your opinions just because the people in the forums want to hear about how awesome Nintendo is.  Keep up the great work.

[DAaaMan64]

ERK, It's different if you peruse the forums more and it's ALL JON TALKS ABOUT, ALL THE TIME. With nothing NEW TO SAY ABOUT IT AT ALL.

But provided nothing further is said, I'll shut up now. All points covered.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Yeah that is what we want. ::rolls eyes::

[Djunknown]

Good to hear from Grand Master Billy again. Candid, uncut, and uncensored. Though I wonder why he's no longer with GI...

I think Heavy Rain/Mirror's edge is going to be a preview of the challenge of the next console cycle: Conquering the Uncanny Valley. Though in Nintendo's case, we'll be lucky if they'll output 720p. 

5 people was a bit much. Its hard to get everyone's two cents (sixpence in Mr.Leahy's case?) equally, Greg got tuned out for a good chunk.

Having e3 open to the public is a great idea. The Lepzeig system would insure that A)Those watching at home get to see the glitz and glamour B) Journalists can get their hands on impressions, interviews and previews up on their respective sites in a timely manner.

Or Deadly Creatures, Wario Land, SPRay, Dragon Quest, Sonic Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia sequels, Fragile, Chrono Trigger, Clone Wars, Tecmo Bowl (shame on you Lindy for not including a game you've even admitted to being excited for), Mushroom Men, Force Unleashed, Sim City, Samba, other multiplatform games that are actually looking promising (Oh like GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR or EA's sports games), and then those oh so dreaded casual games. Yeah I guess there is nothing to talk about.

Sounds like someone has enough material to make their own podcast. The Anti-RFN....report if you will. 

[Nick DiMola]

I think part of the the problem with this episode was that only 2 of the featured panelists had attended E3. It makes it quite hard to really open the floor to everyone when talking about the show floor. Overall I liked it, I own all the systems so I don't mind hearing the impressions of Jonny/Billy. I wouldn't doubt that the next episode will be chock-full of Wii luvin.

If the crew needs a hand, I'd be glad to lend my voice as I have been playing quite a few Wii games as of late after finishing up Assassin's Creed.

We talked about many of those games during the E3 shows... didn't you listen?  You can't complain about us not discussing games that we discussed.  As for Force Unleashed, you probably don't want to hear what I think of it because it will make you sad and reinforce the illusion that I don't like Wii games.

I will say this again: We had to get E3 out of our systems.  I didn't even want to talk about it much on 108, but Billy was already confirmed for the show and it only made sense to let him talk about the event.  E3 is completely behind us now, a footnote in history.

Get Revenge by posting this RockBand 2 video.

Also, Powder? hahahahaha

[D_Average]

I for one thought the show was great!  If it is blind Ninty fan optimism you crave, then listen to The Wiire.

[DAaaMan64]

Dude you so have no idea if you think thats what I'm asking for.

Don't bother, it is fun to create straw men.

That was more of a response to Lindy who acted like there was nothing else to talk about in regards to his game list.

You obviously missed the part where I said. I'd still like to hear your impressions on the Force Unleashed.

P.S. Apologies to Johnny it is still evident you still support Wii, though I still disagree with how the show was handled today.

Is the feed gonna update... someday?

[Smakian]

This is one I don't mind waiting a few days to listen to, I'm just now catching up on the rush of E3 podcasts. Looking forward to it though.

[NWR_Lindy]

The only thing I'm excited for right now is Blast Works for 10 American dollars at Best Buy!  Wahoo, picking it up tonight!

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8835353&type=product&id=1209165388672&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=8835353

(They are sold out online, but the price is the same in store)

BTW, I picked this up today, Nick.  Good call on alerting me to it, I hadn't checked CheapAssGamer today.

[AV]

 i'm getting more and more frustrated my mailbag isn't answered. Almost every week i send a new question and for the most part you guys say them and they make great conversations. So no ego boost for me = meh episode.

how many times have my questions been read on the show? it's almost every other episode so far this year.

Also no LORDS OF THUNDER mention so boooooooooo to not including that.

I went just now and picked it up too.

It's updated now.  Stupid feed.

[NWR_insanolord]

Was the problem that the podcast was dated 6/23/2018? I noticed that yesterday but I didn't mention it because I try to try not to go into the talkback of a podcast until I've listened to it.

[Crimm]

Wait, what?  WTF iTunes?

If this were my show we'd drop iTunes support...

Anyway, you'll all be happy that we had an all Nintendo show today, despite my near orgasmic experiences with Ace Combat 6.  It's a behemoth, clocking in somewhere in the area of 2 hours 10 minutes.
