Thanks to nearly an hour and a half of technical difficulties, we're bringing you a Nintendo Week Micro this week, with a segment that's a sort of hybrid between the Lightning Round and the News Block. If all goes well, we'll be back in full next week with all the great segments we originally had in store for you today! This week's outro music is Thunderstruck, by Big Giant Circles.

NW 049: Mini-Episode Mayhem

This week, our hosts discuss a ton of news coming from Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma. We're also joined by special guest, YouTuber ArtsyOmni, to discuss the leak heard 'round the world... wide web: Rayman in Super Smash Bros. After the break, we sit down tot talk about our experiences with the New Nintendo 3DS and figure out exactly what Nintendo's strategy is with this odd new console.

This week, we discuss Nintendo's latest financial briefing, which characters Japan would like to see as Smash Bros. DLC, and of course, Captain Toad ("GOTY 2014" — Ben Lamoreux). After the break, we talk about Amiibo: where the brand is headed in the near future, and what it means for us and Nintendo in the long term!
