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 love Jeff's commitment to things that are terrible. First Game Room quick looks, now Wiiware and DSiware.

Look out Terry Gross, we're coming for you! You might have insightful interviews that cover everything from television to politics to science, but do you have Wii-Ware games? Do you? DO YOU?

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. "

I thought that 'season 4' might be coming soon, though they just might not want to change the awesome art.

@Cramsy:
Thought so!

It's been a long road, but I've been here since the first NDX podcast, and I'll keep listening to every cast the day it comes out as long as it stays alive! I can't wait for the 3DS e-store stuff!

" boom well...poo How is this podcast? Worth a listen? "

Honestly, the solo reading of the titles is kind of depressing, but the jokes about this underground podcast make it worth listening. I don't know dude. I go for the bombcast over this easily, but this is still rather funny. Hasn't lost the stupidity yet, but once it does this thing will probably die.
