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!!!!

I know i'm a bit late to the party, but i don't listen to every bombcast, so why was it decided to not include these downloads anymore?
They have brought us some of the funniest moments in recent bombcast history.

Even more so, people who downloaded the NDX podcast just because it was #1 on the videogames list, but they don't really know the site. Some dude whose a semi-casual gamer with sometime to burn on a drive or something. DL's it to find out what's new in video games and BAM, NDX RIGHT IN THE FACE!

Because these games are all pretty much terrible shovel ware, and talking about them in funny ways is hilarious. It is also a huge waste of time for a profitable business, talking about games that no one plays. We listen pretty much just to listen to Jeff.

If there's one things Canadians love more than hockey, it's joke podcasts that were created as a spiteful jab/inside joke for coworkers.

This show is great and I don't even have a DS that is capable of playing any of these games!
I love the fact that this is also a conduit for Jeff's music and his growing isolationism.
also scented dwarfs.

The ND Xpress rolled over Car Talk to # 2 on the itunes games/hobbies podcast charts. "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" you better watch your back.... cause the train is coming for you next.

Humble Suggestion: Crank up the Dsi and Wii store Music.
