NDX 03/07/2011

Let's noodle around for a bit with your e-mails, the latest news, and of course, the finest Nintendo downloads that the week has to offer.


            FLAVORED IN A BEEFESQUE FASHION
      FLAVORED IN A BEEFESQUE FASHION
We're not going to let a little legal trouble stop this unstoppable engine of hot death! This week we cover the 3DS eShop news out of the 2011 Game Developers Conference, listen to some of your e-mails, and talk about the biggest and brightest that Nintendo's digital offerings have to... offer. Last week's sponsor has hit the bricks, so to speak, so it's just one man, a microphone, and as much glory as you can fit into 50 minutes.
   
Your conductor, as always, is the freshly cut Jeff Gerstmann

Ways to listen: 

iTunes: HERE (be sure to subscribe, don't be a fool!) 
RSS: HERE
MP3: HERE
 
And remember: Sodium kills!

Out of all three Bomberman games I played on N64, Bomberman Hero was my favorite. There were slugs that you had to kill with Salt Bombs. But the bombs didn't hurt anything else but slugs! That's ridiculous.
 
And the music was fantastic.

Please contact my office and speak to my secretary "Terry" to discuss all your legal options.  
 
Thank you. 
 
Yours truly,

It's pretty clear that Jeff is setting things up to end the NDX, what with all the references to him being unable to pay bills.

I feel like the train had so much steam last week that it just can't get any better. The conductor should just pull this train into the station for good. It just isn't the sam.....gassioushdbsej CHOOOOOOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Do me one favor, Mr Conductor, and Turn up the gain on the PA system. It gets hard to hear you on the train ride home, even with noise canceling headphones.

Jeff you should have actually listened to Iwata's speech. The first and last third of it was Iwata giving an actual keynote that praised other developers and hardware manufacturers for their accomplishments (including praising Xbox Live and COD), talking about how the industry and social gaming have grown and where it's going next, and even admitting that Nintendo had completely mishandled WiiWare and DSiWare.
 
The problem was a spot in the middle third where Reggie came out and did his salesman thing, and that was sleazy. That's also where most of the announcements came from.

The Train runs on coal. The conductor however needs his Whiskey.
