Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse #1 – Let’s Get This Party Started September 3, 2008

Last week, we did Podcast Zero of The Wii-kly Fuse, which is WiiNintendo’s podcast. Everything went well and so we decided to post it on the main site for all of you to listen to. We got your feedback and have now begun the podcast. Last night, we recorded podcast #1 of The Wii-kly Fuse, entitled “Let’s Get This Party Started”. You would think that Podcast Zero, our test podcast, would give us hints to any future issues, but apparently not. Podcast Zero went well, but we encountered a few issues this time around. Despite that, we kept on trekking through. The crew consisted of me, MOMZ, Charmy, queenzelda, and mazer. Throughout the night, mazer and Charmy kept dropping out of the podcast, and eventually mazer gave up and left for the night. Charmy also was breaking up every now and then, so he couldn’t speak much. All in all, it wasn’t as we had hoped.
BUT, we made the best of the night. The podcast was still fun to record and after listening to some of it again, it seems like it’ll be fun to listen to as well. We implemented some of your feedback already (like reader questions) and hope to implement more in the future. I hope you enjoy this installment of The Wii-kly Fuse. It’s pretty long, but has some very interesting discussions (and a nice, heated debate). Here’s a glimpse at what we talked about in this week’s podcast:
- MOMZ is introduced and future plans for podcasts are discussed
- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- Discuss Disaster, the DS Motion Pack, The Conduit, and more
- We give our thoughts on the Brawl tier list, The Force Unleashed, and the quality of recent Sonic titles on Nintendo systems
- Reader questions are answered, and FlamingSquirrel’s question provides a very long and heated debate.
- Guest appearance by my roommates at the end
This podcast is much longer than last week’s podcast, mainly due to a big debate we had. This time around, it clocks in at 1 hr, 41 minutes, and 10 seconds. I hope it’s interesting for all of you to listen to. We had fun recording it, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as well, despite any technical difficulties we may have had. If you would like to listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 92.6 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on itunes, you can do so at the bottom of this post.
And PLEASE give us your feedback and any suggestions you may have for future podcasts. The whole point of these podcasts is for all of you to have a great listening experience and for us to enjoy recording the podcasts. We have included some of your suggestions already and plan to include more int he future. If you have anything more you want to suggest or to submit a question for the podcast crew (which we’ll play in an upcoming podcast), you can do one of three things: You can post a comment on this post, you can email me at DarkWish@WiiNintendo.net, or you can post it in the Submission/Suggestion Thread on the WiiFuse forums. I look forward to hearing from you!

lol DDR mario mix music. Also a lot of tags =P
p.s. Why did your roommate yell “boobies” at the beginning.

@Potatoman: Mickey chose those tags for the last podcast, so I picked the same ones this time around.
And no one yelled “boobies”… I don’t know what you’re listening to lol.

Well I heard something in the background in between 1:30-2:00 minutes… It might have been movies.

Regarding my question at the end~ I think the Cell shaded games will stay on DS (Like QZ said) and maybe another Zelda game that looks like Twilight Princess will go on Wii.
