If The Undertaker were to wrestle a bunch of space rocks, who would win? How many pages does the 3DS notebook feature let you work with at any given moment? These are the big questions of our time. And questions like these are why the NintenDownload X-press! continues to exist, friends. Join us this week as we give you a "first listen" of the new Nintendo 3DS and discuss its digital software capabilities. We also talk about the essential new releases for WiiWare and DSiWare. As always, your e-mails are also represented.

Your conductor, as always, is the uncharmingly burpy Jeff Gerstmann!

Ways to listen:

iTunes: HERE (be sure to subscribe, because I might stop posting stories every time this goes up!)
RSS: HERE
MP3: HERE

And remember: There's probably nothing essential about Arcade Essentials.

I believe your reading for Virtual Console may be the pinochle of human achievement.

#23 Posted by MrKlorox (11079 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

"It's 8 O'clock! I just ate a co----ld slice of pizza"

Fucking hilarious already. You made me think it was gonna rhyme.

Jeff sounds considerably less worn out this week, compared to last. Glad dude got some rest.

#27 Posted by bassman2112 (681 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Haha, what was the song right after the WiiWare releases?

I'm glad the train's 'a pullin' in again - forever buying tickets for it!

P.S. WTF ONE HOUR

#32 Edited by Crunchman (295 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

WHOO WHOO, MOTHERFUCKERS! I'm fucking excited about this Nintendo 3DS coverage. I'm all about this fucking stereoscopic audio.

#33 Posted by LiquidSwords (2741 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

The Nu Metal break music! Had me in tears!

#34 Edited by Brackynews (3316 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Bootleg Q-Bert is just called "Kubert".
Then there's a pan-Asian knockoff of the bootleg called "Kubrick".
Disappointingly not full of stars, I might add. For that you need the bootleg "Halsteroids". Every time you press the daverspace button there's just text on the screen "Can't let you do that." and you get shot by the asteroids. There wasn't enough memory in the bootleg boards for the UFOs, so the space rocks shoot instead. It's that kind of ingenuity that spurs the industry to evolve.

Nobody can stop the train!

#42 Edited by DizzyMedal (358 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Jeff, please don't make me choose between the train and the Undertaker.

But other than that slight blemish, another great NDX

#43 Posted by SileoNex (66 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Jeff's Macho Man is pretty good.

#44 Posted by HonoredSamurai (105 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I <3 this joint. May the train roll on 4eva

#45 Edited by Sanj (1976 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

THAT SONG IS NUTS!

#46 Posted by Octavion (3 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I like the way this is becoming less about Nintendo's great line-up of digital products and more about Jeff's music.

You know if you go to Nordcurrents website it runs a faux malware scan? I closed before I could see if it was an ad or not, but it really sucks regardless of whether its a harmless ad or not.

#48 Posted by Brendan (6738 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I think the highlight of this ride was actually the Jeff nu-metal music in the intermission.

#49 Posted by TurboMan (5475 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

NEVER STOPS

#50 Posted by cximran (52 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Listening to Cop Knife for the first time was a wonderful experience.
