NDX Waiting Room

@Doomed said:

Is anyone else counting down to the emergency transmission around the Wii U launch day?

I can't tell you how happy I would be if the WiiU marked the return of the NDX and those amazing descriptions. Even if Jeff made it a subscriber only feature. That would be the thing to bring me over the edge.

I would gladly pay $50 a year just to hear Jeff read terrible Nintendo download descriptions.

This is a game that apparently exists on the eShop. I only know of its existence because I StreetPassed someone who played the demo.

THE "DENPA" MEN: They Came By Wave
From Genius Sorority; $9.99.
Radio waves are all around you. However, what you might not know is that, at any and all times, mysterious little creatures float around near these waves. They're called "Denpa" Men. You can't see them normally, but you can find them and catch them with your Nintendo 3DS.
This is a role-playing game in which you collect Denpa Men to form a party, and use this party to explore dungeons.
Each radio wave territory has its own completely unique Denpa Men, and no two of them are ever the same! Their faces, bodies, and personalities are all differentm and some of them even have special skills and strong points. There's a practically infinite number of variations! Sometimes you'll even find Denpa Men who are exceptionally strong.
Try searching in lots of different places to form your own team of these wonderful tiny critters, and take them on an adventure to rescue a certain special someone from the clutches of the King of Evil!

If only there was a podcast out there to tell us about all these new and interesting eShop releases, so I didn't have to rely on creeps in Gamestops for my eShop information...

@iAmJohn: the world isn't ready for the return of the nintendownload x-press

So much waiting in this room.

Yeah, it's been really hard for me to figure out what the hottest new downloadable releases for Nintendo products are, lately. Without paragraph-long descriptions detailing the latest and greatest downloadable titles, it can be really difficult to follow.

Endurance Run of all eShop titles to date?

I have been waiting for the train for a loong time...

Choo choo motherfuckers.....

No emergency transmission for the Wii U. ;_;

Someone tell Jeff that if he did a charity drive for a new NDX episode, he'd solve world hunger.

Someone lock this fucking thread.

Remember the ep that Ryan hosted? That was awesome

You people are crazy for bumping this thread every so often.

Until the heavens fall, and the night sky is filled with blackness, when the all hope fades and bonds of fellowship are broken, I'll be here, waiting, for you, Nintendo Download Xpress!

Anyone has a link to the bombcast where the idea for the NDX was born? I remember Alex being there and Jeff describing what that would be and how fucking terrible it would be.

One damn day this thread will be the harbinger of the best news this side of the Eshop, but for now, we wait.

The wheels of the express churn with the drums of war; the time is near.

:(

It's a sticky. Who cares? If they didn't want it to be bumped they wouldn't sticky it.

It's in one of the "best of" compilations that that one guy does.

@Doomed: Then it should probably be unstuck. This thread has served its purpose and the NDX ran its course. It's in the past. The diehards that think hearing Jeff read descriptions of downloadable games is somehow still entertaining are crazy.

Unbreak my heart.

Say you'll NDX me again.

I'm pretty sure it was the 01-18-2011 one. Though, I believe Jeff actually briefly joked about it once before, in one of the final regular 2010 podcasts when Ryan first started talking about cutting the segment.

RIP NDX. :(

Man, NDX is so great you guys.

Choo Choo!

@Hailinel said:

Ah, but the NDX was so much more. By the end of it, Jeff had discovered the existence of non-Nintendo related download services, and was still trying to figure out what possible appeal these strange things could have. I can wait for him to explain how wonderful the Wii U eShop is... or maybe he turns out to be a WiiWare traditionalist. Maybe he thinks Nintedo sold out, abandoning its core principles to ape the cool new thing. The possibilities are endless...

Yes that's the one, thanks!

So this happened.

Dude, not cool. This is exclusive subscriber content.

DUDE, SO COOL. NDX 5 LIFE

@Winternet: After a tough week at work, this is the best possible thing I could come home to.

Everyone needs to know the awesomeness that is to be a subscriber.

@Winternet: This certainly more than makes up for the lack of Premium content recently!

NDX IS BACK BITCH

That's probably the last NDX that ever will be.

paulwolfenden asked:

I noticed on the redesign there is a link to the NintenDownload X-Press on the podcast tab. Does this mean that the NDX train will keep on rolling?

No, but the original episodes will finally be archived on the site where they belong.

The real reason why there is no more NDX is that the train has become that weird hover train from the end of Back to the Future Part 3 and Jeff's talking about Nintendo downloads to the Mayans thousands of years ago. The train's gotta keep on chugging, even in time periods where there were no trains. How else, do you think, people got the idea for trains? Jeff Gerstmann. Time Traveller.

Berman Braun have just purchased a new niche NDX website.

Man using two versions of Giant Bomb really fucks with my head.

Uh! Yeah! Uh! Uh! What? Uh! Yo!

Uh!

the start of a new era of the NDX?!

I really didn't think Jeff was the least bit serious when he said he was recording his rap mix tape.

Holy shit.

He should feature v-pain.

@Winternet said:

YES. They need to know.

I need NDX straight in the vein.

The truth of the RAP Man's NDX posting on Beta is revealed.

NDX is my world.

Guys?

We need to get the NDX back on the site, who's with me?

Never forget.

Just give me another episode detailing the exploits of Mr Rick "The Ricker" Petersen.

Whenever I'm having a crappy day, I can always take comfort in this thread.

I'm down.
