It's funny, it's not-at-all fanboyish (all the cast have other systems too, and talk about those games at least once per episode), and the Retroactive's are AWESOME. Download the Super Metroid one in particular; I'm sure it'll make you want to listen to more. |
I've been listening to them for the past few months. They are pretty good discussion wise and in terms of jokes. They actually talk about the games they are playing, the good and bad about them instead of how they wish Nintendo was doing this and that. They play other systems and even talk about those games as well but never to bash the Wii or Nintendo. It's as if they accepted the differences between the systems and it isn't an issue for them. They still enjoy the games because they are good games not because they aren't on the same level as the 360 or PS3 games. It's nice to see them go from talking about Zelda: Spirit Tracks to talking about Mass Effect without any problems at all. Not comparing them either just talking about them based on their own merit. They had a good discussion about Sin and Punishment 2 a few episodes ago. Their talk about it, one of the overseas host picked up the Japanese version, made me actually interested in the game. The entire tone is different from IGN even on their good days in the past as well. It's relaxed but at the same time far more professional and mature then IGN's Nintendo podcast.
TheWiire.com's podcast is decent as well. Faster paced and they more or less talk about the various things they've blogged over the past week or two but still there is a nice discussion that takes place between the host.
