NO! Ryan would travel back in time and stop the weekly talk of Nintendo Downloads!  
I wrote out an elaborate time travel plot where the existence of the NDX causes world peace and ends hunger, but then I thought "Man, this is stupid." So... Nevermind.

Vinny made it pretty clear that it's a members thing too. Can't wait for the shit storm to follow after they reveal whatever it is they are doing. Remember though, if it means more subscribers, then we can get more potential stupidly awesome stuff like this.

I want twenty minute to half hour videos of them saying funny things while playing SNES games. That sounds just fine.

That and as many esoteric games they can get their hands on, like maybe Maniac Mansion on a real FM TOWNS Marty. In Japanese.

I posted a topic but I think they should use retro quick looks with a voting system to create a "giant bomb community classics" nomination system within the wiki.

Too bad they didn't mention the brand and model of the converter, I've been looking for something that can handle old consoles for a while.

Ryan did travel back in time. That's why NDX doesn't exist anymore and the Allies won WW2.
