So I Heard You Wanted A Nintendo Downloads Podcast...

OK. Let's do it.

If you've been following along on the Giant Bombcast, then you know that the rest of those jerks made a command decision to totally cut the WiiWare and DSiWare portions of the program. This is the same portion that was nominated for an award last year. Last time I checked, "Vinny saying curse words' didn't get nominated for jack nothing! "Brad spoiling games?" Nada! Zip! And don't even get me started on the "Ryan mispronouncing game names" portion of the show.

But I'm not going to complain. I'm going to do something about it. And so, it's my great pleasure to introduce you to the rogue operation I've spent upwards of 35 minutes putting together:

If you'd like to subscribe to this obviously superior podcast, the RSS feed for it is RIGHT HERE. THROW DOWN THE SHACKLES OF YOUR OPPRESSORS AND LET FREEDROM REIGN!

Next week I'm hoping to get a special guest on the show, but I don't want to spoil it! Stay tuned, WiiWare and DSiWare faithful! Stay tuned.

(Oh, and if you're not into the whole RSS thing, this week's installment can be downloaded by right-clicking on this link: THIS LINK!)

OMG YES! I was hoping something like this would happen! Jeff is the best for doing this on his own.

Nintendo would sell so many more -ware games if they used this in the download stores.

I'm glad the nintendo downloads will live on, but its just not the same without the other guys commenting on the games.

To me, this means Jeff likes describing less-than-decent games in an overly-dramatic tone. And I totally love that.

They said that there would never be a gaming podcast better than the bombcast.
What are they to say now?

Jesus Jeff, I didn't think you had it in you but way to fight the powers of oppression. I want this to spiral into a huge thing and have it be a major part of the weekly Giant Bomb experience.

Make it happen.

I don't know how Giant Bomb always turns things around like this for me. Read Nintendo downloads on the Bombcast? I hate it. Make an entirely separate podcast for the same purpose? Could not be more on board. I just can't resist absurdity...

Honestly. Thank you Jeff, but I do really wish that the crew would be apart of this experiment. Personally, I really enjoy the reactions from the rest of the podcasters. Shame, but I absolutely admire your desire to please your audience. It shows how much you care. Thanks once more.
