This week we cover the news with a super-sized Nick & Nick show before passing it off to Vinnk for a very heartfelt and touching Rebel In Japan about the launch of the Gamecube. Then we get a little silly in the Roundtable and talk about all those annoying video game characters that we don’t like. Finally, DSgamer21 wraps it up with a Duck Tales tune. Enjoy!
Don’t forget to send us voicemail questions and just general voicemails. We’d love to hear what you guys think, not only of the podcast in general, but more importantly, the topics we cover. Agree or disagree, we want to know.

Vinnk, that was awesome. I feel your pain. Yea, the delfino guys piss me off so much even in the delfino track in kart ds.
buddha1227 - 12.19.05 2:20 pm
Good stuff everyone! and Vinnk, best yet.

Hilarious podcast, I loved it, especially all of the Mega Man 2 music. “I have a Sonic keychain because it makes my car go faster,” priceless.
My vote for most hated character: Crash Bandicoot. Followed by the horrible Cream the Rabbit and Big the Cat in the Sonic series and Raiden from MGS2. As far as Nintendo characters go, I’ll join the anti-toadette crowd.
Greg - 12.19.05 6:45 pm
The only hated person in the list I agree with is Tom Nook. Also, who said they made Waluigi without Miyamoto’s permission, why not say the same thing about Wario? He appeared in Super Mario Land 2, and, quote www.kisland.net, “He is the brainchild of the late Gunpei Yokoi and a fellow named Hiroji Kiyotake, who also made some robot thing called Samus or something.”. They(/he? My friend said Yokoi but Hiroji had to do with Wario too) asked Miyamoto if they could create a new character in the Mario series and he said yes and poof. It’s likely a simular case with Waluigi, who’s name, if I remember, is also a parody of the japanese word for evil or somesuch. I can’t think of what else to say because, well, I’m listening to it still, I love the podcasts, but I just have to say for the most part I disagree with your hate list.
Matthew - 12.19.05 8:12 pm
That’s the thing with love and hate. It’s all a matter of opinion…
As for Waluigi (waruigi), yeah it is pretty funny in Japanese because of what it sounds like. Warui wmeans “a bad thing”. The same with Wario. It’s too bad that dosn’t translate very well.
Vinnk - 12.19.05 8:38 pm
lol, raiden….
anyway dsgamer; can you play the sonic theme? you know the one that goes do-do-do-do dooooo dooooo….
radman - 12.19.05 10:34 pm
Yeah, nice job on the RIJ, Vinnk. It’s always a pleasure.
mitch - 12.19.05 10:38 pm
Love the original music, this duck tales piece especially.
Are requests being taken? I would L O V E to hear the main theme to either Actraiser or the opening title music for the Sim City (SNES version)
right? right!?
ryan - 12.19.05 11:34 pm
Hah as soon as you guys mentioned “characters you hate” I thought of Bubsy. Man I HATED that character and game. Then people starting saying he was Nintendo’s new mascot which enraged me to a point I can’t even describe
Steven - 12.20.05 1:23 am
Vinnk: While Wario derive from the word Warui, I’m pretty sure Waluigi derives from another form of the same word; Ijiwaru.
If you re-arrange the syllables a bit you get Waruiji, or Waluigi that is pronounced in much the same way.
A_Lee_N - 12.20.05 1:42 am
each podcast i listen to i think this is the best podcast ever.. but then the next one is better
great work guys, cant wait till the next one
TakaM - 12.20.05 2:09 am
A_LEE_N, So, “Ijiwaru” as in “Vicious, mean, spiteful”. Wow, that’s even funnier. I never though about it too much. I think you are right on that one though, it would fit well.
Vinnk - 12.20.05 2:35 am
Yeah, you guys out did yourselves once again this time around. I personally like Waluigi, the first time I heard about him I thought the name was hillarious. I never got attached to Sonic, either. Anyway, great episode, look forward to the next.
robotplague - 12.20.05 4:40 am
eesh.. this is painful.. my Net connection has been down for 3 weeks now and it looks like it won’t be back up before the New Year, so I’m missing out on my favourite Podcast..
Happy Holidays to all the 4CR gang and catch up with you next year!

“can you play the sonic theme?”
“I would L O V E to hear the main theme to either Actraiser or the opening title music for the Sim City (SNES version)”
I shall do my best.
dsgamer21 - 12.20.05 8:14 am
hey you guys were mentioning old school nintendo music being done by dsgamer21 (great stuff) and i couldn’t help but think of the music from the original NES Metroid game. has dsgamer21 taken any of that on? i know the group the minibosses http://minibosses.com/ did a remake of some Metroid music, but i’d love to see dsgamer21 take it on. does he take requests?
thanks for an awesome podcast!
jaime - 12.20.05 4:34 pm
Would people be interested in a section dedicated to the musical offering of the 4CR community (ie. dsgamer21)?

dsgamer21 - 12.21.05 9:15 am
Wow, you guys continue to do an awesome job with these podcasts. I give you a lot of credit and a big thanks for keeping it entertaining. You do Nintendo fans good justice; Happy Holidays.

Paul Gale - 12.21.05 4:12 pm
dsgamer21 - yeah that looks like one of the many tunes from metroid…
jaime - 12.22.05 1:45 am
Just got around to listening to the podcast. Just want to comment on Rebel in Japan in particular. A very poignant and reflective piece. The sincerity, emotion and vulnerability in your voice imbued the piece with an indescribable quality.
Many thanks for allowing a glimpse into who Vinnk is.
Eddie - 12.22.05 10:48 am
holy crap. That was a really good podcast, great topic and round table. Where is it being recorded? Just wondering…
NPC - 12.24.05 9:17 pm
Is it just me, or does the podcast cut off at 52 minutes when you get it from the iTunes Music Store. Still good for those first 52, but I want the last 11!
