The Music of 2013 – Here’s Another Podcast!
Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in Features, Podcast, Reader Poll | 2 Comments
The results are in! Sorry for the wait; I’ve been busy with that whole “taking a holiday” thing, but I’m finally back with the Internet’s latest 2013 retrospective. On this two-hour long podcast I’m counting down the top ten game soundtracks of 2013 (on Nintendo platforms) as voted by Nintendo Everything readers. The colossal playlist of quality tracks is broken up by me reading out your comments and various synonyms for the word “song”. I was testing out a new microphone, so my apologies if you can’t understand a word I’m saying.
You can find the podcast right here!
edit: Seems Google Drive wasn’t too happy about the massive influx of traffic so I’ve also uploaded the podcast here.
If you want to know what soundtrack took the coveted #1 spot you should probably just listen to the podcast, but I’ve included the results over the break anyway.

Random Thoughts: Brian’s top 3 games of 2013
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, Videos | 1 Comment
Wanted to take a few minutes to talk about my top 3 games of 2013. You can also find this in written form at the link below:
http://nintendoeverything.com/feature-nintendoeverythings-2013-game-of-the-year-picks/
Hopefully this video will tide you over while I work on/finish up the next true “Random Thoughts” entry. Finally decided on something worthwhile to talk about!
Apologies for any awkwardness and/or me sounding too boring. This video stuff is still new to me, so hopefully I’ll improve as I go along!

[Feature] Nintendo Everything’s 2013 Game of the Year Picks
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, Features, Wii U | 5 Comments
To make an argument against the thesis that 2013 was one of the all-time best years in gaming would be a foolhardy activity. The year saw the release of instant-classics like The Last of Us and Super Mario 3D World, as well as world-stoppers like Grand Theft Auto V and Pokémon X and Y— Zelda made a big comeback on 3DS alongside Fire Emblem, and after years of no news we finally saw the release of Pikmin 3 on Wii U. An intro paragraph like this– no matter how densely packed– could never do justice the year we’ve had, so let’s let the staff of NintendoEverything do it instead.
After the break, you’ll hear from Brian (site admin and boss man), Austin (podcast man and writer guy), Jack (podcast man and writer guy), Spencer (writer guy), Patrick (writer guy) and Scott (video guy) about what they all found to be their absolute favorite games of 2013. Consider this list primarily subjective.

The Music of 2013 – Have Your Say!
Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in Features, Reader Poll, Reader Poll | 1 Comment
Hey everyone, it’s Patrick here. I might not be part of the usual podcast crew, but this year I’m trying to put together a podcast showcasing the very best of game music from throughout the year.
While there’s plenty of music from this year that I personally love, I want to know what everyone’s favourite soundtracks are so I’ve put a short poll together. OK, so it’s not really that short, but hopefully people won’t be wondering why their favourite game wasn’t included on the poll. I’ll leave it to you decide what constitutes a game from 2013 – I’ve included some games like Bravely Default on the list, even though it will technically be released three years in a row. Of course, it’s also limited to Nintendo consoles, partly because of the name of the site and partly because no-one wants to edit a 10-hour podcast.
Let your voice heard through this handy dandy voting form and I might just read your comments out on the podcast.
Update: Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll. I’m tabulating the results now so I won’t be counting any new votes. Merry Christmas!

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 71!
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 0 comments
ON THIS EPISODE: Parks and Recreation is a good– but not great– show (or is it?). Proteus has more to it than meets the eye. The Wii U is still selling pretty poorly, which isn’t great.
PLUS: Listener mail about gaming difficulty and its effects on the medium’s merits, how long it takes us to judge a game after playing it, and more!
