Yay, computer issues. Don’t you just love those? College life is also making me pretty busy, which is why this podcast is late. I’m very sorry for the delay. That’s also why tonight is the first podcast that queenzelda will lead so that way they can be put up on time since I’m too busy. Anyways, as this title suggests, this podcast is all about Wii. There was simply so much to discuss about Wii and so there’s plenty of interesting discussions. The podcast crew this time around included me, MOMZ, queenzelda, and hattrick (joins us later in the podcast). We also had our first guest in the podcast, and that’s JumpingGiraffe who is a member of the WiiFuse Forums. And you can even hear MOMZ try and ruin the podcast after the ending music, so enjoy that. Check out an outline of the podcast below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- We discuss upcoming WiiWare titles and the future My Pokemon Ranch update
- Is Rock Band 2 coming this year or not?
- We explore the DS/Mii Channel connectivity
- We talk about the “Play on Wii” DK Jungle Beat and Pikmin titles
- A bunch of Wii and DS trademarks were found and we give our thoughts on them
- The Opera Browser 2.0 update is discussed and we discuss what Wii Speak could possibly be used for in it
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support. Look for more on this campaign soon.

We had plenty to talk about, so it’s definitely worth a listen. As usual, had a lot of fun recording the podcast. This podcast clocks in at 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 40 seconds. As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 61.0 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes all at the bottom of this post. If you have trouble finding it on iTunes, it is under the name wiiklyfuse. I subscribed to it on my iPod Touch and it’s fun to go back and listen to the previous shows, so I recommend you do so as well.

Remember to join us on WiiNintendo when we record our next podcast tonight (December 9th) between 9:15 and 9:45 pm eastern time for a live stream of the podcast. Please send us your feedback and any suggestions you may have for future podcasts. We want you to enjoy these podcasts, so please let us know what you want us to discuss. If you have anything more you want to suggest or want to join us for the 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!

Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse Podcast #10 - A Revolutionary Anniversary November 23, 2008

Filed under: Exclusive, Fanboy, News, Nintendo DS, Podcast, Rants/Opinions, Rumors, Virtual Console, WiiWare — DarkWish @ 2:43 am

I’m not even going to begin to list the very long list of things that delayed this podcast simply because it would put you all to sleep since it’s so long. I’m VERY sorry for the delay, but better late than never I always say. While the title of this podcast may make you think we discuss the Wii and DS’s anniversaries, the title actually refers to it being the 10th podcast for us (the anniversary discussion comes two podcasts later). The podcast crew this time around included me, MOMZ, queenzelda, Charmy, hattrick, and SirVenom (joined us later in the podcast). You also get to enjoy some bloopers and behind the scenes moments if you stick around after the ending music. Check out an outline of the podcast below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- We discuss Sega confirming that they’re publishing The Conduit, the Animal Crossing: City Folk/Wii Speak bundle, and more
- You know those “Play on Wii” titles? Well, they’re confirmed for the US and we give our thoughts on them
- Guitar Hero time! Want to know what songs are in On Tour: Decades? Want some impressions on World Tour? Then listen to the podcast!
- For the FIRST time in one of our podcasts, we did a LIVE stream of the podcast and got feedback and discussion topics from those listening in.
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support. Look for more on this campaign soon.

We had plenty to talk about, especially on Guitar Hero: World Tour. It’s a fun-filled podcast, and since we had so much fun, it went on for quite a while. The podcast clocks in at 1 hour, 26 minutes, and 12 seconds. As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 78.9 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes all at the bottom of this post. If you have trouble finding it on iTunes, it is under the name wiiklyfuse. I subscribed to it on my iPod Touch and it’s fun to go back and listen to the previous shows, so I recommend you do so as well.

Remember to join us on WiiNintendo when we record our next podcast on Tuesday, November 25th between 9:30 and 10 pm eastern time for a live stream of the podcast. Please send us your feedback and any suggestions you may have for future podcasts. We want you to enjoy these podcasts, so please let us know what you want us to discuss. If you have anything more you want to suggest or want to join us for the 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!

Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse #9 - Rock Out Loud October 29, 2008

Filed under: Exclusive, Fanboy, News, Nintendo DS, Podcast, Rants/Opinions, Rumors, Virtual Console, WiiWare — DarkWish @ 3:26 pm

This week, the podcast is on time and better than ever! Not only did we record our podcast last night, but we had our biggest podcast crew there to date. The crew consisted of me, queenzelda, Charmy, hey_suburbia (though we just called him Mickey the whole time), SirVenom, hattrick, and even MOMZ dropped by at the end. It seems the only person missing was mazer, who should be returning in a few weeks time hopefully. Anyways, we discussed a bunch of different topics and it was great to get various thoughts on them. And if you stick around for the end of the podcast, you’ll get to hear some especially good discussion, as well as MOMZ trying Wii Music for the first time. Check out a taste of what you can expect to hear below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- SirVenom and hattrick make their podcast debut! Now our final podcast crew is set (and mazer shall join us once again in a few weeks time)
- We talk about the latest on E3 and E for All, the new firmware update, the “Let’s Play on Wii” games coming to the US, and more
- Don’t you just love leaks? Looks like Sega may be The Conduit’s publisher
- Is the excitement for the Nintendo DSi in Japan low? Should we be worried?
- We discuss what we’ve heard about Guitar Hero: World Tour, as well as the upcoming spin-off titles. Are they ruining the series with all these titles or is more Guitar Hero a good thing?
- Wii Music is finally out and we give our thoughts on just how fun this title is
- We hang out in a chat on WiiNintendo (which you can read here) and get the opinions of everyone in the chat on the topics we are discussing in the podcast
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support. Look for more on this campaign soon.

There was plenty to discuss and plenty of people in the podcast to voice their opinions. So, it’s expected that this podcast would go over an hour, and it does. The podcast clocks in at 1 hour, 19 minutes, and 47 seconds. As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 73.0 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes all at the bottom of this post. If you have trouble finding it on iTunes, it is under the name wiiklyfuse. I recently subscribed to it since I bought an iPod Touch and it’s fun to go back and listen to the previous shows, so I recommend you do so as well.

Remember to join us in a chat on WiiNintendo when we record our next podcast on Wednesday, November 5th (usually it’s on Tuesday, but that’s election day) between 9:30 and 10 pm eastern time. Please send us your feedback and any suggestions you may have for future podcasts. We want you to enjoy these podcasts, so please let us know what you want us to discuss. 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!

Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse #8 - Set Free Your Inner Maestro October 27, 2008

Filed under: Exclusive, Fanboy, News, Nintendo DS, Podcast, Rants/Opinions, Rumors, Virtual Console, WiiWare — DarkWish @ 5:38 pm

null

Once again, I’m very sorry for the huge delay in posting the podcast. I had a bunch of exams last week, and then I went home for the weekend for my Uncle’s wedding so I was super busy. Well, better late than never I suppose, so here’s podcast #8, entitled “Set Free Your Inner Maestro” in honor of Wii Music. And to go along with that theme, I decided to use parts of some arrangements I created in Wii Music for the opening and ending. They’re not the best, but give me a break, it’s only my second day with the game. The podcast crew this time around was just me and queenzelda, while Charmy chatted with us because he couldn’t get any sound out of his computer. We tried our best to make it fun to listen to though, and here’s an outline of what you can expect from this podcast:

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- What DSSCAN could be? We give our ideas
- Hmm… a mystery title from Nintendo… what could it be?
- How likely is the rumored GBA-compatible Nintendo DSi?
- We discuss various games, like Wii Music, and more
- Wii Weigh In: Will we ever have a one console future?
- We hang out in a chat on WiiNintendo (which you can read here) and get the opinions of everyone in the chat on the topics we are discussing in the podcast
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support. Look for more on this campaign soon.

We have many different topics that we discussed, including the first time we do our Wii Weigh In segment. Wii Weigh In is when we, the staff of WiiNintendo and WiiFuse, give our thoughts on something going on in the video game industry. Look for more of those topics in the future. This time around, the podcast clocks in at 51 minutes and 37 seconds. As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 47.2 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes all at the bottom of this post. If you have trouble finding it on iTunes, it is under the name wiiklyfuse. I recently subscribed to it since I bought an iPod Touch and it’s fun to go back and listen to the previous shows, so I recommend you do so as well.

Remember to join us in a chat on WiiNintendo when we record our next podcast tomorrow night (Tuesday, October 28th) between 9:30 and 10 pm eastern time. Please send us your feedback and any suggestions you may have for future podcasts. We want you to enjoy these podcasts, so please let us know what you want us to discuss. 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!

Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse #7 - Hardcore, Casual, Wii Discuss It All October 20, 2008

Filed under: Exclusive, Fanboy, News, Nintendo DS, Podcast, Rants/Opinions, Rumors, Virtual Console, WiiWare — DarkWish @ 11:20 pm

null

Yes, I know. We recorded the podcast a week ago and it’s just now going up. I’m VERY sorry! I went home for a few days and for various reasons, I just wasn’t able to do things as usual. For those that are registered on the WiiFuse Forums, I posted a download link on Sunday, so there are benefits to registering there. Anyways, here it is now for your listening pleasure. Like the last podcast, it’s just me, MOMZ, and Charmy again, but it was fun to record the podcast. As the title implies, we discussed all types of games from hardcore to casual, so there’s something for everyone in this podcast. Check out an outline of the podcast below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- We discuss the Mother 3 fan translation
- We give our thoughts on the Everyone’s Theater Channel for Wii
- We discuss various games, like No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, Let’s Tap, Sonic Unleashed, Wii Music, and more
- We hang out in a chat on WiiNintendo (which you can read here) and get the opinions of everyone in the chat on the topics we are discussing in the podcast
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support.

I believe this may be our shortest podcast yet, which is quite surprising. This time around, the podcast went for 54 minutes and 33 seconds. As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 49.9 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes all at the bottom of this post. If you have trouble finding it on iTunes, it is under the name wiiklyfuse. I recently subscribed to it since I bought an iPod Touch and it’s fun to go back and listen to the previous shows.

Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse #6 - Nintendo Conference October 8, 2008

Filed under: Exclusive, Fanboy, News, Nintendo DS, Podcast, Rants/Opinions, Rumors, Virtual Console, WiiWare — DarkWish @ 7:05 pm

null

It’s that time of week again… it’s WiiNintendo’s podcast, The Wii-kly Fuse! As you all know, the Nintendo conferences were last week, so it makes perfect sense that our podcast focused on all of the announcements that were made. We had a small podcast crew that consisted of me, MOMZ, and Charmy, but it was definitely the most fun I’ve had in a podcast so far. There was plenty to discuss and we had a great time doing so. Check out an outline of the podcast below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- We discuss The Conduit, including Wii MotionPlus use, its publisher, and a possible sequel
- We discuss the big announcements at the Nintendo conferences, including the Nintendo DSi (including the Nintendo DSi Shop), Upcoming games (Punch-Out!!, Sin & Punishment 2, Mario & Luigi RPG 3, and lots more), Let’s Play on Wii Selection, Wii Speak Channel, the storage solution, Club Nintendo, and more
- We hang out in a chat on WiiNintendo (which you can read here) and get the opinions of everyone in the chat on the topics we are discussing in the podcast
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support.

Yea, I know, I said I would keep the podcast at about an hour… I lied. We had so much fun recording this podcast that I let it slide this time. This time, the podcast lasts 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 49 seconds. As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 81.3 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes all at the bottom of this post. If you have trouble finding it on iTunes, it is under the name wiiklyfuse. I recently subscribed to it since I bought an iPod Touch and it’s fun to go back and listen to the previous shows.

Remember to join us in a chat on WiiNintendo when we record our next podcast on Tuesday between 9:30 and 10 pm eastern time.

Choo choo! All aboard the hype train! Nintendo’s conference in Japan is tonight and their US conference starts tomorrow, so it’s time for the hype train to come. The big question is… will it be a good ride or will it end up crashing brutally? We give our thoughts on what we expect to be at the conferences, as well as talk about a few other things. This time around, we only had a three person crew for most of the podcast. Queenzelda, MOMZ, and I were there for most of the podcast, and Charmy joined us for the end. Check out an outline of the podcast below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, the Nintendo Channel updates for the week, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- We discuss Mega Man 9, the Nintendo Pedometer, and more
- We discuss the Nintendo conference and give our opinions on what we think will happen
- We hang out in a chat (which you can read here) and get the opinions of everyone in the chat on the topics we are discussing in the podcast
- We mention our campaign to help disaster victims, known as “WiiNintendo.net 1UPing Disasters”, and talk about how the Red Cross contacted us showing their support.

Like last week, this podcast runs at a little over an hour (this time it’s 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 12 seconds). As always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 60.6 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on itunes all at the bottom of this post.

Podcast: The Wii-kly Fuse #4 - MOMZ LOLZ NO MORE September 24, 2008

Filed under: Exclusive, News, Nintendo DS, Podcast, Rants/Opinions, Rumors, Virtual Console, WiiWare — DarkWish @ 5:18 pm

null

To anyone that has listened to the podcasts, you’ll know that one of the members of our podcast crew, MOMZ, loves to make outrageous claims about games and then laugh about it. In the past week, MOMZ and I have agreed to stop our debating (since it frequently got out of control), and thus the podcast was named “MOMZ LOLZ NO MORE”. It’s our fourth podcast and it’s our shortest podcast with a smaller crew than usual. This podcast has me, MOMZ, Charmy, and queenzelda. Unfortunately, mazer and hey_suburbia couldn’t make it this time, but they hope to join us next time, along with one or two others possibly. Check out an outline of the podcast below.

- Go over this week’s Wii, DS, and Wii Shop Channel releases, as well as what we’ve been playing on Wii and DS
- We discuss how the Xbox 360 didn’t outsell Wii in Japan, how Animal Crossing: City Folk does have motion controls, and more
- We give our thoughts on how we feel about Nintendo, as well as our thoughts on some upcoming titles, like Wii Music
- We answer reader questions, as well as get questions from the WiiFuse Chat that we are in while recording
- We ask for suggestions on more fundraisers for Hurricane Ike victims to go along with our “Ike’ll Get No Sympathy From Us” campaign

After having issues uploading podcasts due to their length, I made sure to not go that long this time. This podcast clock in at 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 59 seconds, and as always, you can listen to the podcast, download it (file size is 59.4 MB), subscribe to the RSS feed, or subscribe to the podcast on itunes all at the bottom of this post.

Remember to joins us in the WiiFuse Chat when we record our next podcast on Tuesday at 9:30 pm eastern time. And please send us your feedback and any suggestions you may have for future podcasts. We want you to enjoy these podcasts, so please let us know what you want us to discuss.

I look forward to hearing from you!
