ANSWERED podcast questions

[Sidescroller64]

Whats up Podcast Crew. I have a couple of questions for you.

First off, with the truckload of info about WiiU's online offerings, it sounds like Nintendo is trying to finally become competitive in the online space. However, Nintendo said that they would do things that the competition has explored with their systems, so I was thinking that a cool way for WiiU to set itself apart from the pack would it be if a fully featured version of Animal Crossing was designed on board the WiiU hardware. Your friends list could be people who live in the same town as you, or neigboring towns and you could send hand written notes to one another similar to the 3DS's SwapNote on the tablet controller. As far as the achievement system, you could earn set amount of play coins for accomplishing feats in other games that could then be redeemed for rare goodies in Animal Crossing that would either be updated by Nintendo or cycled in and out. Animal Crossing has always beena game that tries to emphasis the importance of communication, and this would seem to be both a logical fit for the platform, but also a truely rewarding achievmet system outside of the realm of merely showing off the numbers. What are your thoughts?


Secondly, as far as digital goods are concerned, would't digital Pre Orders be an excellent way of differentiating Nintendo from the others? You could pay for a product and have it download automatically on it's respective release date. For 3DS, this could happen during SpotPass, and for WiiU, this could be a way of having the ill fated Wii Connect 24 actually mean something.

Thanks for reading-- Sidescroller64

Hello Podcast Crew! A simple questom for you. Hey that rhymed.

Anywho, do you agree with Michael Pachter when he says that Nintendo will never make a standalone gaming tablet
like Razor's? Personaly, I believed The Big N will never do something another "competetor" has already done.







Yours Truthefully,

Good Morrow Podcast Crew,

Your Delectable Overlord KingBroly here to once again throw a spear directly in your face to stop you for a short survey about the daily activities of yours and others. Don't worry, these questions don't involve, Beans, George Went or going to the movies and eating beans with George Went.

Questioneth Del Uno
- What Nintendo Franchise or Franchises do you think should step away from the retail space to go for a more permanent home on the download side of things and why? I personally think Star Fox is a ripe choice here due to the overall short nature of "True" Star Fox games, whereas Adventure titles would be better suited for new IP's/universes.

Questioneth Los Dos
- If Mega Man were in the next Smash Bros., which version would he be? I would personally prefer 8-bit Mega Man, not Classic. I mean the literal sprite, even though it wouldn't fit the character roster at all.


That's enough for now, you can keep the spear, for I have many in my newly stocked armory of goods. War has changed.

[WowItzMike]

Hey there Podcast Crew! Wow, It's Mike here! Just here to ask a couple of scrumplediddlyumpchyumptious questiumz.

I'm currently sick as I'm writing this question, but since you probably won't get to this question for a while, I probably have had several grandchildren by the time you're reading this.

1. I know RMC stays up late at night. So I must ask - what is your (and the other podcasters) go-to midnight snack? Perhaps a fast food joint that operates 24 hours a day? I love me a JJ BLT from Jimmy John's.

2. You are on death row. The day has come for you to be executed. You eat your last meal, which is your answer to the last question, except covered in Paula Deen's signature banana bacon butter sawse. Which video game character would you pick to send you to your maker? Would you have Pikachu electrocute you? Or Travis Touchdown slice you in two lengthwise? Maybe you'd have Wario hang you?

I personally would have Reggie crush my head between his big, soft, muscular... EYEBROWS!

That is all. WowItzMike OUT!

[Rhyno15]

Good News, Podcast Crew!

Everyone's favorite Rhyno here with more questiom-y goodness.

Let's be real here. We all love RMC's chiptune singing skills. When can we expect to see an album release of Rawmeat's Greatest Beep-Boop Hits? If your answer is anything other than "THIS MUST HAPPEN NOW." then you're wrong.

On a less serious note, let's talk Nintendo. With titles like Pushmo, Sakura Samurai, and Dillon's Rolling Western, Nintendo seems to be using the eShop as a gateway for new types of games. If you could see Nintendo taking one of their own eShop games and expanding it into a retail sequel, which would tickle your fancy the most, and why?

Thanks again for being so pod-tastic.

In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

As you were,

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeywassuphowareyouthatsgreatokayshutup!
Some questions that you can answer if you'd like, y'know, if you can be arsed.

1. An obvious one both in its asking and answering. What was your favourite game of 2011? I get the feeling the answer will be either Skyward Sword or Skyrim because you guys just love alliteration. Personally that accolade would go to Dead Space 2 because I'm different and hip like that. Also if you'd like, your favourite film would also interest me, mine was Drive.

2. Have you ever played a game that you really wish'd had more attention than it did? I'm talking stuff like Hotel Dusk, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, both awesome experiences that have gone mostly unloved. And Call of Duty, god knows that game needs more love dammit!

Sexually yours, keep up the good work.

[hakkai]

Hey podcasters I'm back and so is NickyHill YAYY!!! Anywho, I have 2 questions this time...

1. What are some gaming mysteries that were never explained and still bug you til today? For example, RMC, you know how in KH2, if you use a Drive too much you turn into Heartless Sora. But they never explain why he turned into a heartless in the 1st place or ever mentioned it in the game...

2. What is one of the most soul crushing experiences you've ever had as a gamer? For example, when I was a kid, I played Poke'mon Gold. It was the 1st game I put serious time into. Well, this was post game and I was training my team to fight Red, (the real final boss, for those who don't know). It was the day of the fight and I had woke up early for the battle. And when I had turned on my gameboy, my save data was gone..All 200+ hours gone in a flash. I was devastated. Not only was all my time spent was gone, this was to be the game with my very 1st natural level 100 pokemon, Typhlosion. I feel to my knees and started crying. Not for the fact that my data was gone, but my comrades, that I raised from tiny little lv 2 and 3s were dead, forever...

I don't want to leave you on a sad note so I got a quote

Woman: ''During this conversation, I could have killed you 3 times.''
Man:"Not to mention, during this conversation, I could have groped you at least 5 times... Ok, so let's say maybe 4 times." (Demon eye and Vash, Trigun)

Later podcasters, until next time, JACK OUT MEGAMAN!!

[Battlestriker123]

Heya guys! Battlestriker123 here with a couple of questions for you guyyyyysssssss......

1. QUICK! EVERYONE! IF YOU WERE A POKEMON, WHAT WOULD YOU BE!

2. Nintendo has announced that they are working on a new 2D Mario game. My question is, what do you guys want in a new Mario sidescroller? Do you want a new game in the style of New Super Mario Bros. (ewww) or do you want something entirely new and fresh? I, personally, want a 2D Mario experience that would utilize Mario's moves in his 3D games (i.e. backflip, dive), something similar to (and I've mentioned this to many others before) the popular flash game "Super Mario 63" (you guys should really check it out). And maybe a story other than "the Princess was kidnapped by Bowser again". Unfortunately, I don't think that any of those are going to happen any time soon

Thanks for the awesome podcasting, guys. You guys really spice up my weekends Have an amazingly wonderful day.

[PatrickTheHuman]

Why hello thar podcasters! Anyways I'm a long time site goer and have recently started listening to your podcasts, since 300. I would like to know why RMC doesn't seem to like Sonic music, constantly calling it cheesy. I also inquire as to who you all prefer, Mario or Sonic, let the flames begin!

[TheKeeseEffect]

Hello Dop Tacs Wrec! A couple quick questoms here... maybe.

First off, have any of you watch an anime called "Case Closed", Or maybe your more familiar with the direct Japanese translation of "Detective Conan"?

My second questom is more directed to the group of casters that does not include you RMC, because of the subject matter, but on to the questom! have any of you played a Dragon Quest game? if so what do think of the series in general? My favourite DQ, and also favourite game of all time, is Dragon Quest VIII!




Anyway, thanks for the Graet Pod.

[aaroNiGHTS]

Hi Podcast Team,

With the increasingly strange game 'If I Were in A Sealed Room With a Girl...' coming up for release in Japan on the 3DS, I was going to ask what would YOU do if you were in a Sealed Room With a Girl, but I think the better question is this: What Would DEUX do if he was in a Sealed Room With a Girl? Hope you can give it lots of thought.

Also, be nicer to MomBrain. Just because all you men are ugly. You don't need to take it out on her!

[KingBroly]

Good Morrow Podcast Crew,

Your Deliciously Delectable Tyrannical Moderator is here once again to clean the sponges that are known as your minds for a small bit of information that you will not get back until after Labor Day. For evil purposes, these strains of information will be turned into white pants so you'll look out of style. Onto the question.


If RawMeatCowboy's beard was a monster, and Pit defeated it, what would his catchphrase be for vanquishing it? I would personally guess "Beardelicious."


Thanks again. Delicious, delicious brains.

[Cerberiga]

Hey Gonintendo Podcast crew!

First off, I just want to celebrate the upcoming three year anniversary of when Sprite Rippers Vol. 3 was slated to be released, April 26th, 2009. I swear I won't mention this again until the next anniversary.

Resident Evil 6 is fast approaching and like you guys, I'm a bit apprehensive about the series' transition from Survival-Horror to Survival-Action to Action-Action. The thing is, I was exposed to Resident Evil through 4 and 5 and I only played the earlier style games afterwards. As a result, my viewpoint of the series is a bit different from that of someone who has been with the series throughout its evolution. What I want to know is, what direction do you guys want the Resident Evil series to go in? In particular, I'm interested in Deux's opinion because it doesn't seem like he's been too keen on any of the recent ones. If he's not there, please make up an answer for him, possibly in the form of a crude imitation that includes the phase, "that crap".

Finally, congratulations on 350 podcasts! I don't know how you've managed to give us a podcast every week for such a long time, but I can't thank guys enough!

[Rhyno15]

Good news, Podcast Crew!

Your friendly neighborhood Rhyno is back for more questiom time.

This one is simple:
4DS. Smell technology or motion technology that lets you feel what's going on in the game?

I'd have to go with the second option, as long as there's a new Kirby's Epic Yarn game so we could all have the sensation that the grass feels like pants.

You'll have all the Slurm you can drink when you're partying with Slurms McKenzie!

As you were,

Rhyno

[hakkai]

JACK IN MEGAMAN!! Hey Podcasters, let's get to some burning questions...

1. I'm pretty sure RMC is the only one playing Xenoblade right now if he started yet. Rawmeat, shame everyone at the table who isn't playing it or doesn't own it right now and if they try to come up with some lame excuse, slap the Pachter out of them. Anywho, I wanna know what is your favorite location so far and at what time of day? My favorites are the Guar plains in the afternoon and my recent favorite is the Satori Marsh at night. Some times I just stop playing and marvel at the beautiful world Monolith amazingly created on the Wii no less. I can't wait to see what they do on the WiiU. I just hope we don't have to fight so hard next time to get it...

2.The 2nd one is more of an update on your progress in my little section. So far you have gotten 3 right answers in my anime quiz out of 10. Now don't go being too hard on yourselves because it's not 100% your fault. MomB and Deux are kinda ruining your chances when they speed through the questions and tell you the answers before you get to guess anything. They've been doing that with a lot of questions as of late. Why?

And to spike your percentage up a little I have 2 quotes for you this week RMC and Kirby. I'll even make the1st one easy...and the return of subs...

1. Lube: "Oh, me and NickyHill are already in that kind of relationship"
RMC and Deux: "Relationship? How do you mean?!!"
Lube: "MOUTH TO MOUTH!!" (Haruko, from FLCL)

2."Tell me, ___, from the moment you were born, has there ever been a point where you actually told the truth?"
(L, Death Note)

Well, that's all I got. Until next time see you guys JACK OUT MEGAMAN!!

[boywec]

Yo Go Nintendo Go-ers!!

Have you heard that Michael Pacther had a POSITIVE thing to say about Nintendo and the Wii U?!! I was was completely surprised to hear him say "Nintendo will do just fine with the Wii U."

What do you guys think happened to cause this sudden change of heart? Did the Nintendo Ninja's get to him, or was it just Reggie?

You guys have a great one, and keep up the good work.

[Fluffernutter]

Oh my gosh...it's not locked. Well, I haven't asked a podcast question since before I was Fluffernutter, so forgive me if I'm a bit rusty.
First off congrats RMC on your deal with Intergi! Secondly, I thought there was supposed to be some video-chronicling of your exploits with Xenoblade...um, Chronicles. Didn't mean to overdose on chronicle there. Anyway, are you still planning on doing this?
Finally, I think Rawmeat finally overcame his monumental struggle with this word, but I would like to hear it again: peripheral.
Thanks, you guys are AWESOME!!!

[jose]

Have you noticed that there is a lot of talent on this site?! I don't visit other game sites much so I may be judging with a bias here.

I mean a lot of what I've seen here has been content from fans of the site with all kinds of talent's. Then we got a talented beardman pounding it thru almost non-stop!

not to start a flamewar but here is my question.. might you guys agree that nintendo fans are typically more creative, ala-outside the box thinkers? I mean just look at nintendo itself, the company is consistently on the forefront of pushing for new ideas!

p.s. Transformers of the Caribbean! - w00t!!

[SuperGamerMan]

Hey guys ...and gal,

This is SUPERgamerMAN (I really don't care how you guys say it, I'm sure I'll get a kick out of it), and this is my first time submitting a podcast question for you guys. I've been listening for about half a year or so so I'm relitivly new.

My question ...if you wanna call it that, is:
I've noticed that Mom Brain said a few podcasts back that she doesn't play RPGs and also said that she would need alot of help playing that game via a guide book, writing notes, or by playing with someone helping her ("me" to whomever is reading this).

Well what is Pokemon for GB, GBA, DS? It doesn't get any more RPGer than that! ha!
Did Mombrain not play red or blue?

Anyway great show guys, keep those coming!

[Jet_Jaguar]

Hello there crew,

Have any of you ever been unfortunate enough to accidentally break a game cartridge or disc? When I was young I used to bring my NES games to school with me in my backpack in the hope of playing it with a friend at his place when school got out. I must have been rough with my backpack because one of my favorite games ended up getting smashed. Needless to say, there were tears.

Focus all attacks on me,
Jet Jaguar

[Battlestriker123]

Herro Poshcasht Crew! I have several questions for you guys so hang on to your seats!

1) QUICK! If you were a minion of Bowser, what would you be? A goomba? A koopa? Someone else?

2) What is your dream game? Like if you were to pitch a game idea to any game company in the world, what would it be? I personally would like Nintendo to do a massive 3D Mario game with open-world exploration across ONE GIGANTIC LEVEL in search of power stars! That would be super awesome!

Thanks for the time guys. Love the podcast and keep up with the great work!

[TheKeeseEffect]

Howdy Pods, a total of three - count 'em - three... questions...

First off, a question for the man of raw himself!
I want to know what sites are apart if your daily rotation for video game news?

2. Have you heard of a thing called "Let's Playing"?
If not, I tell you, it's essentially a walkthrough for a game with commentary over it.

3. I've been thinking of picking up a Dreamcast I saw on the interwebs for $30.00.
What games do you recommend I get for it?

[Irritating Stick]

Hey Podcast denizens!

Irritating Stick back again with more parables of paradox to perfectly pleasure people's personal peripheral places!

If you could change, add, or remove one thing about the Wii U, what would it be and why?

One thing I've been doing for a while is keeping a handwritten log of the games I've started and beaten along with the dates for the two. Do any of you guys do that as well? (Backloggery or otherwise.)

Lastly, how are you guys doing? Hopefully you are doing well or better!

Thanks for the laughs, and have decadent day of desirable delight!

Irritating Stick.

[hakkai]

JACK IN MEGAMAN!!. Hey guys, I'm back with more questions to wet my inquisitive appetite. So let's go...

1. Is there a way you can add a function to the site that shows when games are coming out for the next few months? Like the one IGN has that shows all the games coming out in the next like 3 months. I don't want to make more work for Cort or T-Duck, but I think that would be a good feature and so I don't have to continue to go to that...other site....

2. Anime Update!!. What anime are everybody watching right now? If any of you aren't watching some kind of anime, RMC you know what to do, slap the Pachter out of them, oh and slap the Pachter out yourself for not starting Xenoblade yet from last week. If anyone is having trouble looking for new good one to watch, I recommend Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Season 1 and 2. I think RMC would really like this one. It's very funny and weird with a side of action. And Black Rock Shooter: the tv animation. Very Action packed and weird. Both are subbed on Anime Fushigi.

3. And finally have you checked out any abridged series yet? You seem to be confusing abridge shows with the normal ones. If you haven't, go to Team four star.com or Yugioh Abridged.com. What's really weird is once before I sent in a Nintendo thing from Yugioh abridged as a story. You said you really liked it, but then you never posted it and then on the podcast you couldn't guess it when I sent in a quote from the same story. What gives? You made me sad. Now I make poopy face...

No anime quotes this week. Sorry if I disappoint, but I couldn't think of any. And I always feel my questions are too long...

Well I hope my questions don't get talked over this week. I've had bad luck for the last few questions, but I don't blame you guys, that's just the insane nature of the show.

Well until next time guys, JACK OUT MEGAMAN!!...

[Cerberiga]

Hey Gonintendo Podcast crew!

So this past week, I've finally started doing something that I've been meaning to do for five years now. I've finally started to check out the two years worth of Gonintendo Podcast that came before my time and man is it a trip. Remember when RMC didn't recognize Zach Galifianakis OR Barack Obama, or when Mark Rein was on such friendly terms with Gonintendo that he even had an account? Anyway, you guys ever check out old podcasts? I would recommend it. It's fairly choice.

Castlevania: Mirror of Fate! What do you guys want from it? What do you guys think of MercurySteam doing it? Etc.? I really hope they include Harmony of Despair style co-op. Maybe one screen is your main playing view, the other is a map, indicating the other players' locations? Awesome.

On some podcasts long ago, I think it was mentioned that some podcasters were fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, especially Deux. Just curious if anyone had checked out the HBO show Game of Thrones and if so, what do you all think?

It takes a tough crew to make a tender podcast, so thank you all and keep f-ing that chicken,

Cerberiga
