The NintenDownload X-press! Returns...

by on

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


No Caption Provided
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.

Man Jeff, I really wanted to listen to the whole thing, but I found myself shutting it off about half way through.  You might need to hang it up sir.

LOL, can't believe that they fell for that dupe & grabbing one of my favorites on Bombcast/video guests (only because he's not on too many of them) ... DAVE :) 
  
On the email topic  I'd like to see on the new 3d DS I'd like to see 3d versions of Pacman Championship DX  along with something like that done with Mappy, adding more tension with a first person mode (think it'd be fun to view pacman sees when eating 50+ ghosts in that game)

Plus Black Tiger WOOT, great game from the arcades.

It's all the better listening to this podcast knowing they tried to stop Jeff recording it and iTunes rejected it. You can't stop the X-Press train!

Thank god there are other people there to join in and comment on the releases.  That first installment was just uncomfortable and painful.
 
Looks like Ryan is the hold out that keeps this amazing section out of the main podcast.  Figures.
 
Man up Ryan, admit your mistake and let's move on.

You obviously didn't listen to the whole thing. This one is even more depressing than the first one.

I wanna hear Jeff say the downloads with enthusiasm, and preferably a guest to bounce off of.  If your guys' idea of entertainment is Jeff being depressed for 20 min then I want out.  The guest stuff was hilarious but after that it just became sad.

So great!!!! Thanks Jeff
 
Bummed it was cut from the Bombcast but this may end up being better! (Who am I kidding it already is)
 
Speaking of Bombcast cuts, I always find it so weird when people complain about the length of the show.. If it's too long, turn it off!  I say they take a break halfway through and push that baby to 3 hours
