NDX 01/31/2011

It's time to talk about this week's most important video game releases for DSi and WiiWare.

Well, the response speaks for itself. The NintenDownload X-press! is a hit, chugging its way to the top spot on the iTunes video game podcast charts. But we're not letting all that success go to our head!

This week, your host, Jeff Gerstmann, rides the rails all by his lonesome due to an untimely accident on the part of his regularly scheduled guest, but let's not let that get in the way! There's still over 30 minutes of AMAZING DISCUSSION contained in this week's epistallment.

If you'd like to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, you can find it right HERE! If you're using a non-iTunes program to catch your podcasts, the RSS feed for subscribing it right HERE!

If you'd like to skip all of this easy and automatic downloading and get right to business, download the MP3 of this week's show right HERE.

Keep those cards and letters coming, folks! Choo-choo!!!!

Who do I e-mail to become a paid sponsor of this NDX? I think I have a profitable business proposition for Mr.Gerstmann.

I never really thought about that, but you're completely right. Now I just have this image of people downloading it expecting something entirely different, only to get Jeff sounding extremely disappointed and confused.... "

Which only furthers my belief that this is indeed the best thing ever. =P

This is so good. I feel like the regular bombcast isn't as fun because the guys just aren't as interested.

They all turn down your invites now, but soon they will be crying for you to invite them on! Ice T will be on the Xpress before he's on the bombcast!!

@king0fprussia: A website that takes quotes from Community (the greatest show ever made) and applies them to 'hipster bullshit'. This is my favorite.

@Jeff: It would be great for me and the other five people who use Zune software could subscribe too, unless I'm too dumb to find it.
Please don't forget about us poor Zune users!

@OwnlyUzinWonHan: As one of those 5 other zune users, you can subscribe to the RSS feed through zune. Just go to the podcast part of your collection and under the podcasts hit the "Add Podcast" button, put in the RSS url into the prompt it shows and you'll be subscribed to it.

I wrote you a review to the Finnish iTunes (you are number 7 podcast there):

Satirical podcast like no other. Fueled by insanity and spite Jeff Gerstmann from Giantbomb is making an absurd joke about the staff of Giantbomb who refused his right to make fun of the gaming world plague that is the WiiWare and DSiWare. Join the revolution!

It's a great idea, but it needs other people in the same room to work. Hopefully this episode will make me happy?
