It's been a week since Franklin and Conor left behind the Wii, and they're feeling depressed about it. Listen as their depression turns into bitterness, and they attack the Playstation 3. Did you know all the units' batteries are going to explore on you, and Sony's going out of business? You heard it here first. When we're not indulging in our fanboyism, we're debating games' place alongside other mediums, whether or not we actually play games, or if it matters, and naming our Virtual Console games.

The 11th podcast, on the 11th day of the 11th month? Spooky. That's not the only special thing about the latest N-Europe Show: it's our first podcast without Skype, and it's our first time playing the Wii. Conor, Franklin and Mark head to the Wii roadshow in Dublin, grab some space away from the din of the hall, and report on Zelda, Wii Sports and a bunch of other titles. How do they play? Are we satisfied with the level of gameplay? Have Nintendo sold us on their philosophy? No frills, no distractions, an unedited hour of hands-on Wii talk lies ahead!

Enough of that Gamecube tat of last week, it's Wii time as the show hits double figures! We run down the entire European launch list, giving our verdict on what's worth buying and what's not (clue: avoid THQ). Is it a formidable lineup? Anything interesting in the Virtual Console list? We discuss! Also, Nik's back from his trip to Nintendo and we grill him on the latest builds of Wii first-party titles. Is Twilight Princess really easier to get used to? Is WarioWare still fun? And just what exactly is Wii Play anyway? All these answers, and more, are just a click away! (to download, right click and Save As)Contributors - Conor Smyth, Franklin Hughes and Nik Wouters.

The Wii is coming, but what about our faithful Gamecube? Slow news week this week, so we take the Gamecube's legacy to task. Where did it succeed? Where did it fall down? What were the defining titles? (hint: we like Metroid Prime) The little console that tried so hard, like a sort of Disney cartoon character. It's the last word on the console... until we get bored and write some articles before the Wii launch. Also: obligatory complaining about Sony, and this week's (pretty sub-par) releases.

Holy late podcast Batman! Sorry for the delay, but we're back anyway. A sparse attendance forces Conor and Franklin to take the podcast: NE's own dynamite duo discuss games' respectability (or lack thereof) in mainstream society, game violence and games as films (how about a Zelda movie?). Our Gamecube reminiscing continues, as the different hardware innovations get our thumbs up and down, and we preview some first-party Wii action. Little bit of volume trouble, but we hope you can forgive us. (to download, right click and Save As)Contributors - Conor Smyth and Franklin Hughes. Editor - Nik Wouters.

Audio problems mar an otherwise good podcast this week (weekly - we made it!), as staffers, prompted by the latest addition to the website, discuss the merits of games blogging, and the relationship between blogs and conventional sites. Mark calls by to chat about his latest feature, and we wonder if his assertion of a shift in the console war is justified. Also: third party highlights on Gamecube, "exciting" new releases this week, and a host very pleased at reclaiming his spot. It's good to be back.

It's a change of the guard for this edition of the show. Conor's technical problems force him to vacate the host seat for former sidekick Franklin, and Mike finally gets an appearance. This time, we air the game character impressions left on our Skype, announce the winner, and tackle some heavy (cough) issues. Can Nintendo make market leader? Has videogaming got anything to do with obesity? How did the Gamecube's first party titles compare to their predecessors? And why on earth doesn't Iun like Mario 64? Answers lie ahead.

No, we've not gone away! It took us six and a half hours (do you people have any idea how much we sacrifice for you!?), but number five is in the bag. The N-Europe Show returns with an action-packed slice of audio recording, as the usual podcast team (we're getting shirts made) chats about the recent Wii revelations. It's not that expensive folks! But the controller costs are absurd - us complaining is but a click away. Also: Sony mocking, fanboy self-examinations, and letters. Yes, we have letters! Six and a half hours was worth it after all.

A new era begins with N-Europe, and we've a renamed podcast to boot. Join us as we tempt the gaming gods, and wedge five staffers in one Skype discussion. Slight audio problems aside, it's a resounding success all around! The new website name has forced a wave of nostalgia over us, so we indulge ourselves with origin stories and memories from our time at the forefront of shoddy Nintendo writing. Also: Leipzig, Edinburgh, upcoming Wii software, wizards, monkeys and a guest appearance by Charles Martinet!

When does it take seven hours to do a ninety minute podcast? When you're Revo-Europe of course. We surmount technical hurdles for yet another extraordinary slice of audio recording. Nik joins us to talk about his time at E3 (the last extravaganza), and we put Wii questions to him. The man has actually played it with his fleshy sweaty hands! Envy! Also: where does E3 go from here? Can we possibly have got some mail? And who won that copy of Mario Kart DS? The answers lie within.

Let no-one say we're one-hit wonders, the RE podcast returns! This fortnight, we discuss the reliability of recent Wii launch speculation, the status of games in mass society, and whether games can convey anything above simple entertainment. Listen as Franklin relates Tales of Symphonia to absolutely everything, and Jordan disintegrates into near insanity by the end. Remind us never to invite him on the podcast again.

RE Podcast #1 - 06/07/06 - 75 min
The technological gods threw tempests and plagues in our way, but we did it. After failed recordings, numerous computer meltdowns, frantic phone calls, dodgy microphones and recording programs that cackled to the heavens while we languished in misery...we did it. By this time, we don't really care if you like it or not. Listen to musings on the DS Lite's impact, the success of non-games, the future of handhelds, 'visual masterbation', and why we care so much about our little fansite. Plus... free stuff!
