So here’s another one! This time actually on time, and I have to admit: Despite it starting really slowly, the discussion we had at the end about how old various Nintendo characters are was definitely my favorite discussion we’ve had so far!
If you want to join in on the fun, listen to the podcast and then decide for yourself: How old are all of the following Nintendo characters?
Mario, Toad, Peach, Wario, Waluigi, Grampa Toad, Windwaker Link, Tetra, Gramma Link, Malo, Spirit Track’s Link, Happy Mask Salesman, Fox, Falco, Peppy, Slippy, Krystal, Samus, Ash’s Mom, Pit, Tom Nook, Captain Olimar, Captain Falcon, Snake from MGS4, Kirby, Dr. Kawashima
We’ve received word on Square Enix’s Tokyo Game Show 2012 lineup. Nintendo fans can look forward to the first details on the Wii U version of Dragon Quest X.
It seems that only three games will be playable. Most of Square Enix’s lineup consists of software that will be appearing in trailer form.
For Square Enix’s full lineup, read on below.

Gearbox Software previously confirmed that Cpl. Christopher Winters would be included in Aliens: Colonial Marines as one of the game’s playable co-op characters. At PAX Prime 2012 today, the other three characters were revealed.
Pvt. Demarcus Short, Pvt. Jennifer Redding Quintaro and Pvt. Guillermo Quintaro will be available in the co-op mode. Concept art of the characters can be found above.
DoubleFine’s multiplatform digital download title The Cave has been announced for Wii U. Greg Rice, a representative for the company, noted that a version is in the works for the upcoming console. It will be released on the Wii U eShop – presumably at the same time as the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/PC release.
The Cave features platforming and adventure gameplay. It comes from Ron Gilbert, who spent his early years with LucasArts and made classics such as Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island.
You can find some recently released screenshots here.
The latest video additions to the eShop are as follows:

In the third episode (fifth if you count the one I didn’t put up and the one I accidentally didn’t record!) of ‘Here’s a Podcast’, the people sitting around the iPad talk about New Super Mario Bros 2’s bad 3D, the Miiverse’s potential for success (or failure), potential new Smash Bros. characters, and much more! It’s four people this week instead of three.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This weeks’ Top Ten List: Five characters we’d eliminate from Smash Bros. and five characters we’d add in. Hit the break for each of our lists, and listen to the full podcast for the complete discussion among a lot of nonsense.
