Nintendo Pulse #022 – Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure

dasme — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:00:16 +0000

Welcome to the Skylanders gush episode of the Nintendo Pulse podcast! I picked up a copy of Skylanders this past weekend for my kids, and enjoyed it so much that I grabbed a copy of the 3DS version for myself! Besides the fun I had with Skylanders, we talk about some great news items. Enjoy the show!

We had some technical difficulties with Edgars connection this week, so please excuse the high pitch whine and audio dropouts. Will try to have this fixed for future episodes.

Nintendo Pulse E3 2011 Special Edition

dasme — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 03:58:19 +0000

Some say that Nintendo won E3 again this year, listen in to see what WE say! It’s no doubt that Nintendo was firing on all cylinders. The hype coming into theis presser revolving around their new console was crazy, but Nintendo showed off more than just the Wii U (yeah….). Loads of 3DS games were also hilighted giving us gamers hope that their $250 handheld would again be used. Listen in to see what Edgar and I have to say about all of this, and Nintendo’s new console the Wii U.

This is also the first VGPodcasts episode that we also recorded in video form! Unfortunately until Youtube allows me to post videos greater then 15 mins, it’s broken up into 4 chunks. If you would like to assist us in fixing this, please watch the video on youtube, like and comment on the show. It will also help if you subscribe to the VGPodcast channel on youtube. All of that will help to list this limitation making these videos better in the future.

Nintendo Pulse #012 – E3 Cometh

dasme — Thu, 26 May 2011 03:28:08 +0000

Pre-E3 Mania has hit the VGPodcasts crew! Hear our thoughts on what is going to be announced at E3 this year. Iwata confirms that Steel Diver was meant initially as a download game, and more in this pre-E3 episode on the Nintendo Pulse! We won’t be publishing a show next week as Edgar is going insane with work leading up to the big show, but stay tuned for our thoughts on the Nintendo press conference shortly after it happens… maybe even with Video! Woo!

UPDATE: It looks like this episode never made it to the RSS feed due to some misconfiguration on my end, so you are probably hearing this AFTER E3, unless you were one of the first couple hundred that were able to download this before the server went boom. Sorry guys
