Episode Five: 3 Daft Situations

The chat on this week's show is 100% more informed as Chris recounts his hands on time with the 3DS at an exclusive Nintendo event last Sunday. Including a live Street Fighter roleplay and a Zombie attack along with the details on the finalised UK launch line up, it's a story and a half!

This week's question: have you pre-ordered a 3DS and if so, where did you get it and for what prices. Seen any devious deals?

As usual, thanks for listening and have a good week. Make sure you check out next week's episode for more hands on impressions, including Splinter Cell 3D and Super Monkey Ball 3D.

Episode Four: 3 Dumbfounding (Press) Summits

We've all watched about as many bad press as we've spent time wondering what the bottom of an avatar's shoe looks like but BAM did the 3DS "Preview Event" fall flat. Having emerged from nearly 2 hours of epic powerpoint presentations without so much as a clue to the UK launch line up, never mind how the presenter fared in their last experience snowboarding, the Dedede S Cast is hear to set it all straight for you. Yeah right.

Our question of the week! Is the little we know about the launch line up enough to convince you to pick up a 3DS day one? If so, what colour do you hope to get and which game whets your whistle?

Episode Three: 3 Damned Shadows

Strangely enough, it seems all our news this week is topical in more ways than one. From n-Space's discussion of a sequel to what was dubbed Nintendo's "Halo killer" just a week after Reach's launch to Suda 51's involvement in 3DS development mere days after the announcement of his latest project "Shadows of the Damned", it all fits nicely on episode three. A bit to nicely if you ask me...

Bad omens aside, we have another question for you this week: Which developers who have generally stayed away from Nintendo consoles would you like to see working on 3DS projects and what's the likelihood of them actually doing so? Any franchises by these developers you'd like to see on the small screens?

Episode Two: 3 Dashing Stallions

Feast your ears on the second episode of the Dedede S Cast in which we discuss the effects of finding a £20 note on one's karma, messing with unsuspecting Nintendo representatives and, you know, stuff about that 3DS thing.

And to commemorate the achievement of making it to the notorious second episode, we have two question for you this week:

1. Do you think the 3DS will suffer from the lack of a second analogue stick and/or is there anything else you'd change about the system?

2. Would you be interested in a 3DS XL?

Episode One: 3 Dudes Speaking

Being the inaugural episode, we begin this podcast by introducing ourselves and doing little catch up on the 3DS situation so far before jumping into the more recent news. We also discuss our favourite portable games and just what goes into making a great hand held game.

So what are your favourite portable games? Anything other elements a DS game must contain to be considered truly great?

Oh, and this is the swanky DSi of Lewis' we were talking about:
