Topic: Nintendo Week!

I don't really watch it, but it taught me a couple things about SMG2.

I haven't missed an episode yet! I like that show

At least they like BIT.TRIP.

I quite like the show. I generally skip over some stuff I don't care about, but I always make sure to watch it every week.

She looks even better this week with her hair straightened.

I think I'm going to stop watching Nintendo "3DS" Week.

@Splat Yeah, it's all about the 3DS now. But what else could Gary and Alison possibly cover? The only game coming out for the Wii anytime soon is WWE All Stars, and that will probably turn out to be another cruddy PS2 port with tacked on motion controls. We didn't even get one new game for the VC or WiiWare this week.

They could do some more Conduit 2 coverage.

Ever since Nintendo Week had Alison lick a 3DS, I feel like the show has been running out of ideas.

It's a funny show, but it has been running out of steam lately. I like it when they turn the Cheese Factor up to 11, but lately it's been pretty low. Kind of boring. It also hasn't been streaming well recently. I watch Netflix all the time on my Wii and it works perfectly, but the Nintendo Channel videos have been streaming poorly. Why is it that a 3rd Party can optimize their streaming on the Wii better than Nintendo?

I tried... I tried... After the stupid cardboard robot dog, I lost all interest in the show, dismissing it as a two year-olds show, like Barney.

The latest episode of Nintendo Week featured the first StreetPass NYC meetup, and I was there!

They used footage they captured of me showing them my Mii welcoming others at the Plaza Gate around 3:10.

If you pay attention to that image before you press play, I'm the guy there holding up his blue 3DS in the front right row, in a grey hoodie and hat.

Oh my gosh! Alison won't be on Nintendo Week anymore!!

That's sad to hear. But I stopped watching the show long ago because it streams so poorly. As someone else said above, Netflix works great but video streaming on the Nintendo Channel is just terrible. Nintendo is going to have to drastically improve their server bandwidth before releasing the Wii U otherwise it's going to be an embarrassing laughing stock.

Sometimes is streams badly but sometimes it streams perfectly to me. Could be it depends on the time of day, but when it does, I watch all the videos and it's wonderful. It's not that different from a regular PC, internet and trying to watch youtube episodes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Nothing to do with Nintendo bandwidth, it's just fine.

I've watched every episode, as far as I know, and would have to agree that it has gone down hill. Personally I think it started some time after D.I.Y. was featured, when they stopped featuring crazy guests like Wizard, Zeus, and Zombie. I still go back and re-watch the first season occasionally, though the streaming keeps it from being as great as it could be. It's pretty sad that Alison won't be coming back anymore, as I can't really see anyone else being a good counterpart to Gary, and a Gary/Dark Gary show wouldn't be as entertaining.

BTW, am I the only one who would be interested in the first one or two seasons of this show being released as DVD's on Club Nintendo?

I love Nintendo Week even though its cheesy, Ive been noticing though that its gone from weekly to every other week. I miss weekly and I'll miss Alison.

i have never seen the one lol! i mean i see every one but i guess not that one and if i did i probably say a cheesy qoute to myslef "Like a Girahim" lol

I watch and enjoy every episode, but let's face it: There's nothing to discuss on a weekly basis any more. It's pretty much tips for Skyward Sword, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 every week. I get the feeling that every ounce of every Nintendo employee's effort is being dedicated to Wii U.

I've been trying to watch the latest episode and it streams for about a minute and then starts stuttering and eventually stops entirely (with the little spinning thing in the upper left corner still spinning). After a minute or so it puts up an error and gives me a button to click which throws me back out to the Wii menu.

It is not our wireless. I can stream Netflix on this Wii for hours without a single glitch. But I do wonder if perhaps our ISP (Comcast) is deliberately choking the bandwidth to try to extort money from Nintendo. Anyone else out there have Comcast? Can you watch Nintendo Week without terrible streaming problems?

We can download large files from companies with fast servers at 2 MBytes/second (sustained) and stream HD content from Netflix and iTunes (on an AppleTV). So we've got good bandwidth for most things. But we've got terrible bandwidth for Nintendo Week. It's really sad.
