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!!!!

Does anyone else get psyched when Jeff mentions "Taeyeon" Games?

No? Okay, I'll sit down then.

In 1997, Larry Page and Sergey Brin created Google.
In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook.
In 2011, Jeff Gerstmann said "Fuck those guys" and created The NintenDownload X-Press.
And the world changed...FOREVER

The opening theme music for this podcast is awesome to listen to. Someone should get on remixing that.

Keep fighting the Good Fight. Three Dog would be proud.

It's refreshing to see that things like NDX and Jeff's "Points!" videos on Gamespot see success. The internet is stupid in the best way sometimes.

Yeah, the current Bombcast theme was funny as a gag cop-show-type theme to go with the new art, but it's gotten a bit stale.

The people that just blindly listen to the most popular podcasts must be confused as shit right now.

By the way: Jeff, this is literally the best thing ever.

I'm not sure what it is that makes me keep listening to these. Maybe it's the music, or the degree of effort to get guests, as mostly futile as it has been so far (I have faith though). It could just be my desire to support the underdog/fight the power. Hell, maybe it's all of those things. All I know for sure is, if I had a DSi and not just a regular DS, I could be keeping a diary on it.

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....
