The NintenDownload X-press! Returns...

Episode 2 of the world's greatest podcast about Nintendo's weekly downloads is ready for... download.

They said it couldn't be done. No, seriously, they tried to stop me from recording this. Internal comments have ranged from "what?" to "shouldn't you be using your time to do something that isn't completely useless?" But this week I'm joined by a trio of special guests, like Dave Snider, Vinny Caravella, and Brad Shoemaker, all of whom were more than happy to join me for a thrilling ride on the rails of the NintenDownload X-press!

If you want to subscribe to this, the best and greatest podcast I've ever been a part of, you should use THIS LINK to the RSS feed. iTunes rejected it. So... it's not available there. You'll have to subscribe by adding this link to your RSS reader or "podcatcher." You can do that in iTunes by entering the above link on the "Advanced >> Subscribe to Podcast" menu! Easy!

If you'd rather not commit to subscribing to something so amazing, you can right click on THIS LINK to download this week's show as an mp3 file.

If you're confused by all of this, perhaps you should check out what I wrote last week, when the world's greatest podcast about Nintendo's weekly downloads debuted.

Oh, also this week's show sounds kind of screwed up. I think Ryan sabotaged the audio equipment. Sorry.

With the addition of special guests, this podcast is just as good, if not better, then the original podcast. Well done!

Vinny's quite the actor, eh? Even though I'm pretty sure it's all staged, I'm 100% on board with this silliness.

I listen for the metafiction. But how long can the drama keep its momentum?

GOLD.

Mr. Gerstmann, sir, I sit here in awe. I tip my imaginary hat to thee, as you have forever changed the "podcast" concept for the better. NAY, you have changed the INTERNET ITSELF for the better!

As much as I loved this section of the podcast I just don't think it works without other people to hear their reactions to what you read :\

Next time Jeff's invited to the Bonus Round, I just want him to talk about the eShop. Pachter and Keighley will be like "WTF?".

Actually, fuck the anticipation the e-shop bit was hilarious. I would love to see the guy who does animated bombcast sections do an animated version of that whole section.

You should have different guest readers every week. Some of my favourite Bombcast moments are when the guests have been given the dubious honor of reading the Nintendo downloads copy...

Vinny and Brad were like "what?"
Pure gold, I wonder if they'll get into it on the bomb cast later.
