But Austin, what am I about to watch!?
You are about to watch the third gaming session of myself and Aysha, put together during a painful (seriously) 8 hour editing and troubleshooting session that lasted well into the wee hours of the morning!
Basically we play Pokemon Stadium 2 for a bit, edit all the good parts together, and give you a bite-sized “Let’s Play” to sink your teeth into.
One episode for every episode of one season of 24!
This episode was totally normal, with the exception that we did a mix list/discussion about why people are saying the Wii U’s 2013 looks awful when we all think it looks really awesome. I’m just as dumbfounded as Nintendo that people are being so negative about the situation!

Iwata: GamePad idea was before iPad release, expanding gaming population
Update: More quotes added.
About a week ago, Japanese publication Nikkei published an interview with Satoru Iwata. The Nintendo president had lots to say about Animal Crossing: New Leaf and other titles in the series.
Nikkei is back with another round of quotes from Iwata. Below you’ll find translated comments regarding Wii U sales, the GamePad’s origins, his desire to continue expanding the gaming population, and tons more that couldn’t possibly fit within this post’s title.
YouTube user “Paul LastLevelTech” was able to successfully connected his Wii U to a SEGA Game Gear. Paul says he took on the project “to show off the handheld LCD differences in technology from the 90’s and now.”
Yes, this is completely random. But hey, it works.

In a fact sheet sent out during E3 2012, Nintendo listed LEGO City: Undercover as a game that can be experienced by up to two people. Thus far the company hasn’t shared any sort of information regarding multiplayer elements.
Based on Traveler’s Tales’ past work in the LEGO genre, one would expect Undercover to deliver a co-op experience. We’ll have to continue speculating for now though, as both Nintendo and Warner Bros. are keeping quiet about the possibility. When Game Informer asked co-op, the two provided the uninformative comment: “Nothing has been announced.”
Consumers can pre-order Fire Emblem: Awakening from Fry’s for $30, along with another $3 for shipping. In total you’ll be saving $7 compared to the standard $40 price tag.
You can place a pre-order on Fry’s online site here.
