Hey guys! Scott here, and the abstract up there is correct: this is the last episode of Connectivity I'll be producing and appearing on regularly. I'll still be here at Nintendo World Report writing and publishing video, but my time at the helm of this show has come to an end. Nicholas Bray will be taking over my duties and is currently working with Neal to reboot the show, so be on the look out for that in a few weeks. For now, let's get to this week's super-sized show. I decided to go out with a bang, so this episode features some of my favorite segments from the past four years. First up, I'm joined by Donald and J.P. to break down the first round of the NHL playoffs. That's right; it's my last show, so we're starting with hockey! The guys review the 2014-15 season that was and share their predictions for each first-round match up. After that, I crack open some listener mail with Neal, Nick and Zach. You wanted to know how we'd run Nintendo if we were given the keys, what we think about gaming in Brazil, what the deal is with Rosalina's name in Japan, and a whole lot more. Plus, in this segment, we meet a valuable member of team Nintendo: Steve the Intern! #SteveTheIntern needs to trend, you guys. In our next bonus segment, Alex, Zach and I discuss the first few hours of Bloodborne, the PS4 exclusive from the masterminds behind Dark Souls. The guys discuss what makes Bloodborne different from its predecessors (for better or worse) and how it's positioned to be a monster hit for Sony (pun intended). Pants and shirts are optional for this one. Next up, another bonus segment! Here, Amanda, Nick and I reflect on the reboot of Doctor Who, which just celebrated the 10th anniversary of its launch. How did we all get hooked on the story of a 1,000-year-old alien traveling through time with young and unsuspecting Brits? We'll tell you! Also, more theories about who the Master is. Closing the show out, Jeopardy returns! Zach and I host the game, while Neal, Andy and Nathan compete for ultimate glory. See who comes out on top in this Newscast reunion. That pretty much does it. Stay tuned for what Nick has in store for the show. And on a personal note, I just want to thank everyone who has been involved with the show, from the staff and special guests to the listeners. Connectivity flourished in a way I could have never imagined, and because of it I've made so many incredible friends. Thank you for listening every week and making this such a fun four years.
FEATURING: We have loads of fresh Nintendo games in New Business. James is up first with the surprise dump of Mega Man Xtreme on 3DS Virtual Console. Jonny follows that with effusive praise for NES Remix 2, the one that gets it right. He also piggybacks onto Guillaume's impressions for Child of Light, the new Canadian Role-Playing Game (CRPG) available on your Wii U and other platforms. Finally, Jon catches up with the Mario Golf: World Tour demo on 3DS as we try to figure out whether any of us is excited by another Mario sports game, regardless of its quality.In the latter half of the show, we do make good on RetroActive, with considerable help from our friend Nicholas Bray (the NWR Powered Off mastermind).
FEATURING: It's a three man crew this week, with Jon still on extended leave and James being replaced by NWR's Aussie correspondent Nicholas Bray. New Business tackles the Mutant Mudds free DLC stages, eShop game 2 Fast 4 Gnomz, the new XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Final Fantasy V Advance,Mario Party 9 and the eShop version of Shinen's Art of Balance TOUCH! Listener mail deals with the future of eShop VC releases, Internet trolls putting down Nintendo and its fans, and a discussion of the game makers' original artistic vision in these days of patches and focus groups. The show concludes with hype for the imminent live show!
Prepare to blast off with episode 49 of Connectivity! First, we travel to a far and distant place called Australia, where Nicholas Bray and Andrew Brown probe the patrons of the Manifest anime convention to see how excited they are for Wii U. Unfortunately, Nick and Andrew's immune systems weren't used to the disgusting atmosphere of a convention, so both were defeated by the common cold. After that, Neal, Zach, and Scott receive cryptic messages from outer space in the form of listener mail. The signal seems to inquire about Nintendo picking up more western second party developers, what GBA and DS games a newcomer should play, and how more games can utilize asynchronous multiplayer. More importantly than all of that, though; the signal appears to be coming closer... Next, Nicholas Bray emerges from the TARDIS, fully regenerated and ready to host another one of his N-Focus segments, focusing this week on GoldenEye 007. 15 years after the game's release, Nick talks about the legacy of the game and shares some of his and other staffers' memories. He can't stay long, though, because the Daleks are afoot. After the outro, please stick around for a bonus segment all about space with Dr. Jonathan Metts. He answers a number of your questions, from the benefits of privatizing space flight to the effects of weightlessness on the body, before sharing an absolutely DELICIOUS recipe for his world (and beyond) famous moon cheese spread. The secret ingredient? Sage! That's it for this week's show. Click here to send us listener mail. Oh, and not to spoil anything, but next week's episode is number 50, and you can expect a lot of fun things then. So be sure not to voyage into deep space and accidentally stumble upon a portal to Hell before then. Toodles!
