Good show, I liked the witty reparte in this one.

Oh and if you want to improve your Japanese quickly, Cheapy, then have your wife talk to you exclusively in Japanese.

You will either be forced to learn the language, or you'll end up giving up and completely ignoring everything she has to say. A win-win!

While the Wii Channels might not appeal to us, "teh true gamerz," it might appeal to the non-gamer demographic that Nintendo is really going after. I mean the controller is a fucking remote for Ganon's sake! Remote, Channels, genius!

If those features allow the Wii to be more "family friendly" and entice more people to buy one as a convergence device, I see it as a good move.

Definitely the best show in recent memory. You guys were in fine form. Maybe it was because Cheapy had a vacation. Maybe it was because Wombat cheered up. Maybe it was because Zelda got an enema. But whatever it was, keep doing it (except the last one).

You guys had some interesting points on the Wii. Wombat's take on the upside of the controller pricing was interesting. I had never thought about it quite that way. And given the evidence above, I think he's already being proven right. When that Star Wars game inevitably comes, I think we'll see an (optional) lightsaber peripheral into which you can insert the remote. Then just sit back and watch the Lightsaber Kid videos roll out on YouTube.

I'm less concerned about the SD card details. Why would they go to the trouble of using a non-proprietary media and then hamstring the ways it can be used? But I think eventually we'll see a USB hard drive anyway.

I enjoyed the Sierra moment. I loved me some Sierra adventure games back in the day. I dug the big franchises, but I have especially fond memories of the more obscure ones like Manhunter 1 and 2 and Gold Rush. So many late night calls to the Sierra Hint Line ("If the rats and bats keep eating your face, press 3...") and then taking the heat from the parents when the phone bill came.

That said, I think LucasArts adventures in their prime had it all over Sierra.

It was three inches, you racist.

I have a question: If we post multiple times in the show threads, should we include our contest qualifying thingy in every post or just the first one? I assume you're picking winners by choosing a reply number at random, and I'd hate to be disqualified if only because I included my secret thing in my first post and not subsequent posts.

Just in case:

Skylander7
09-20-2006, 01:46 PM
Uhhh.. k or something.

I say leave the Best Buy parody up. I know that the political potential of "good faith and favors" is there, but Best Buy is engaging in deceptive marketing practices. Gamespot should take responsibility and state that Best Buy cannot make the 360 Core magically backwards compatible, and it is solely up to Microsoft's discretion what will be playable on the 360.

On the downside of this, the typical strategy of corporate entities vs. privately operated websites (whether it be retail stores or a music distributor, etc.) is to throw enough money at the problem until the "little guy" can no longer pay his/her court costs.

You'd think that since the webmaster of the site (CheapyD) resides in Japan, and likely manages the site from Japan (although I'm willing to bet the server space is in the U.S., so this theory wouldn't apply), that international regulation/intellectual property ownership law would be applied (I doubt Best Buy has copyrighted their logo internationally). I'm unsure of this, especially if the server space is domestic (as that is usually the determining factor in situations like this), if Best Buy could legally pursue a lawsuit. It may be worth some research.

However, it attests to Gamespot's ethics in journalism if they are going to affiliate themselves with "fixed" questions aimed at Best Buy, with answers that would deceive the consumer and point to Best Buy as having "all the answers" to their 360 needs when it comes to issues involving the hardware manufacturer (Microsoft). Gamespot should be primarily concerned with concrete and trustworthy entertainment journalism that is sustained through advertising revenue, and not allowing a corporate retail chain to post vague articles that only serve the goals of marketing for their own individual retail operation through supposed partnership.

Nice CAGcast again, but I think Wombat is letting Nintendo off easy on the price of their controllers. The argument of other controllers that you plug into the remote being cheaper is bunk. You still have to pay $$ to get the extras, and we don't have any proof that they will be cheaper.

I bought the Kameo holiday skins. In my defense, I was playing with my daughters and they got a huge kick out of them. They were actually remarkably well done. One of the elementals became a snowman, one was a Christmas tree, etc. They weren't simply costume changes.

I feel so dirty.

Great show except for your "news." You really got screwed on that one.
As for you getting really pizaid on the Wii pre-orders if they come through I think a "CheapyD pays for your Wii" sweepstakes would rule. People who pre-ordered would just forward their fully paid for email order form to your email address and then you'd randomly select one and send the winner $250.00 .

As for the Best Buy thing, tell them you'll take it down if they put CAG back on the affiliate program. Then it is win, win, win.

P.S. The purple dragon is named Figment.

Good 'cast!

The controversy is pretty non-controversial. Either way, it just shows what dinguses Best Buy's suits are. Don't they know that the damage is done? They're just making it worse on themselves by reviving publicity about the piece and pitting themselves against a beloved (well, um... liked at least) figure in the gaming community. Getting sued would be the best thing that could ever happen to this site! Think of the great publicity and the CheapieD Legal Defense Fund. :lol:

To participate in the Wii discussion--I am on the fence. Wombat brings up a good point when asking: What can you do with a 2GB SD card in your Wii? I just got one for $30 after MIR at outpost.com, and use it to watch compressed video on my cell phone. Will I be able to do that on my Wii? What kind of media player will it have? Can I subscribe to video podcasts through the channel system?

I think Nintendo is SMART to stay out of having physical hard drives in their systems. That causes a lot of returns in other consumer electronics--expect a minimum of 5% returns (1 in 20) in the PS3 for this reason. That's 20k in the batch of 400k arriving in the US next money. Cheapie next time you're on Squawk Box talking to some boob, tell them to sell Sony short! The Japanese market will not like such 'shoddy' merchandise. Perhaps that's another reason why they're only releasing 100k in Japan at launch. They want to get the quality up before a wider release.

Otsukaresamadeshita, Cheapie! Keep up the good work.

A sign of a good show is when you always look forward to the next one. I always look for your commentaries on recent events and as always you guys deliver.

Wombat I still feel the Wii controller is way too overpriced and Wii Sports will support 4 players so even if you only get 3 extra wiimotes without nunchucks (since the nunchuck is not required for Wii Sports) that's still close to $400 just to have 4 player Wii Sports sessions, too much in my eyes. You make a valid point on the future peripherals but that's speculating, the here and now indicates Nintendo got too greedy pricing the Wiimote.

CheapyD good luck with the Japanese course. How any westerners are able to grasp such a distinct language from ours is amazing.

Plenty of games "announced" are going to support 4 players, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Final Fantasy CC, and others. And Wii sports is a PACK-IN, and it supports 4 players. :roll:

But otherwise great podcast. Love it! :O :applause:

Wombat, as for Marvel Ultime Alliance. Don't get your hopes up, they only have a year to make it and a bunch of guys quit. T__t;;

NIce Cagcast.
It wasn't great but it wasnt terrible like the "jimmy the icon" and "chris from kotaku" podcasts.
I was really eager to here your impressions on the Wii but I thought you guys really dropped the bal on in depth wii coverage.
I really thought you were going to go back and forth with the merits of the price and the remotes.
What about the weak ass launch lineup?
Seems like the best you had was the fact that the peripherals will plug into the usb remote which "may" cause the peripherals to be cheap.
EHHH...I was hoping for more intriguing stuff.
Like what games would you buy with the wii? Rayman, Zelda, Is there anything else really worth cags hard earned money?

On another note, Wombat plays oblivion more than anyone I know. There so many games out here I just think that at some point the enjoyment would start to wain.

Good show. Wombat seemed to forget about Wii Sports Tennis and just from a quick scan of the official Wii game site, there's Wario Ware (http://wii.nintendo.com/software_warioware.html)(up to 5 people), Mario Strikers 2 (http://wii.nintendo.com/software_strikers.html), Marvel Ultimate Alliance (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/rpg/marvelultimatealliance/index.html), Madden 07 (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/madden07/index.html), Super Monkey Ball (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/supermonkeyballbananablitz/index.html), and probably numerous others unless I'm missing some context or limitation on what he meant. Otherwise, it seemed like Cheapy was tired and a little out of it at times throughout the show.

Holy crap, I didn't realize how much the Wii controllers will cost. Sure, it's not really much more expensive than the Xbox 360 wireless ones, but I thought those were too damn much too.

Oh well, I probably won't get one until next year anyways.

Thank you for making my drive to school not suck. I do disagree that Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is a "baby game". While it isn't a traditional DQ RPG, it is fun in it's own right and should be at least rented before passing judgement. Granted I was stoked about being a slime from the get go, but still. Poor Zelda's furry ass. Can't wait for the next show.

I think Cheapy should definitely wait in line for the PS3. Record some interviews (with people who speak English) and your observations while you wait. Edit it together into "The CAGCast PS3 Japanese Regional Release Spectacular Special".

Although this would be a lot of work and boredom, Cheapy would get a PS3 (hopefully) and there would be a noteworthy Cagcast that might garner links from other gaming sites. Maybe.

Just do it. It's like a Morning Zoo stunt only longer, more work, and probably less funny.

"Best Buy Research Department"--What is that, anyway? I can just see a guy from the geek squad sitting in front of a blank Google search page doing "research."

Wii-mote cost... way over priced (at least for a "new" generation console :roll:). If your going to play a classic four player game like TMNT from Konami or Golden Eye for the N64 then you would have to buy:

4 Wii-motes $120
4 Wii classic controllers $80
Total - $200.00

Q: Why buy 3 more Wii-motes?
A: If this is going to be the "family freindly" game console, Mom, Dad, Nanna, and G-pops all have to have a controller. Imagine a 4 player quiz show for the Wii with only 2 wii-mote. yeah right.


PS3... Unessasary hardware?! As an influental web personality I expected better but seeing how the cag cast recently has a heavy lean toward the X360 I'm chalking the "system war" talk into the "mindless chatter" bin.

Great show guys! Always loved the 1, 2 punch combo of Cheapy and Wombat. Seemed like Wombat was more aggressive in this show than any other one thus far. Whatever happened to "Wombat's Burrow?" Anyway, keep it up guys.

Great podcast but I do have a few suggestions. First, I would like to hear more from our "man in japan." Maybe you could talk about weird ass tv shows or something. Second, stop talking about Oblivion. If I hear one more thing about that damn game I'm going to fly to New York to kick that Nutrisystem-eatin' Wombat in the gonads. Third, please make sure to speak with a consistent volume. Sometimes both of your voices trail off and its kind of hard to hear.

Question for Cheapy to the D: Do you watch mixed martial arts events like Pride and K-1 Heroes?

I had to give my dog a chewable pill once and that was an epic struggle.

I can't imagine the difficulty Wombat had. At least we could hide our dog's medicine inside of some lunchmeat. Somehow I doubt that approach would work with Zelda.

Prove me wrong, Wombat... Prove me wrong.

I think it's funny you guys set out to do an "abbreviated" episode and it turned out to be just as long and high quality as your other episodes. Well done. And, Zelda was quite prominent in this one...you could hear the pitter patter of her feet and her squeak toy at one point.

Good show. You almost got me sold on the Sierra adventure collection re-releases, but the one I was most looking forward to, Leisure Suit Larry Collection, actually has LESS stuff than the previous collections. It doesn't even have LSL7, the only one anyone is really interested in in the first place. Lame.
