Thanks to Adrian for the tip.
I hope you guys like EarthBound…
EarthBound dominates the latter half of this week’s podcast, but we also talk a bit about Pikmin 3, DuckTales Remastered, and whether or not voice acting is always better than no voice acting. Enjoy the discussions, the listener mail, and the book club!

Update 3: Added in the live-stream below. Austin provided some lovely commentary!
Update 2: Game Night is now over!
Update: If you plan on playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Wii U, please send a friend request to “NE_austin”. If you plan on playing Mario Kart 7, please join the NintendoEverything MK7 community! Community code is 22-5271-0357-0675
Game Night will begin at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT. Most of the friend code exchanging will take place around a half hour prior (10 minutes).
Two items are attached to this page. First, above, is our official Twitch account. Any Wii U games played during Game Night will be streamed, and will eventually be posted to our official YouTube channel.
Below is what we’ll use to communicate with each other. You don’t need to sign up with any sort of service to join, and you don’t have to be playing to chat with us. Just enter any name you desire and we’ll be good to go.
As mentioned last night, Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be the game of choice on Wii U, which Austin will be handling. I’ll mainly be in charge of Mario Kart 7 sessions.
We’ll see how well this goes. I imagine things will improve over the next few weeks!
What is Game Night? You can find details right here.
