Those dairs, man. Ganondorf is brutal; still garbage that he's a Captain Falcon clone, but he's at least great fun to play as.

Forget videos, podcasts are where the real work needs to be done. Searching through the bombcast archives on their site is a pain in the ass.
That's actually a good request. I wanted a Jeff series for a while.
edit: Weirdly, they don't have a "use the wiki for information" item on their list, I actually do that a lot.

Anyone have a link/source for this Ryan picture on the set? Really dig it. Did a search just now but not finding it among the tons and tons of art people have done.

Jeff would leave in the first minute.
Damn, it doesn't appear to have been archived on Twitch. Would have liked to see that.
I don't think Bowser Jr. and Villager are off the wall choices.
Drew called; he wants his puns back.

Bowser Jr. is disputable - though his moveset is undeniably creative, as is the idea to make the Koopalings his alt colours - but Villager, for as massive as Animal Crossing is, is a pretty fucking weird character to end up in a fighting game.
That's Phoenix Wright levels of "shit, how does this guy fight exactly?".
lol I forgot about that
I bet drew came up with it first though, in the office before they shot the quicklook, and those nasty co-workers of his stole it.

Drew? Rob from gamespot is my hero now.
Hope you're preloading that GW3.
Why are you posting this video in the middle of a GBEast production hiatus. That's cruel, man.
Remember when Drew and Kessler ate Surströmming on "UPF"?
"Wait Kessler's the intern we can make him do it."
"oh sshhi-"

I just realized while watching the Smash Bros quick look that Nintendo released a hardware adapter for fucking Gamecube controllers and never bothered to allow more than one gamepad to play on Wii U.
It's baffling. The *only* think they had going for them was local multiplayer, then they make a system that inherently makes local multiplayer a lesser experience for all but one player, and then on top of that none of their games support the thing in any interesting ways.
What the fuck, Nintendo? Seriously.

I'd suspect there's some limitation in sending images/ineractivity to multiple screens.

Thank you.
I'm sure it's a technical limitation, but it's their own fault. They designed the thing around the idea that only one player would want the second screen and that would somehow be sufficient. The Wii U is such a trainwreck. They've made some great games for it because that's what Nintendo does, but they need somebody to slap them in the damned mouth every time they come up with an idea as stupid as "Let's design the console for multiplayer games around flawed unsatisfying multiplayer" and didn't have any sort of online infrastructure in place to make up for their terrible local play.
What are you even talking about? WiiU is perfect for local multiplayer, the games that support the Gamepad are designed around the asymmetry. The ones that aren't don't offer an unfair advantage to the Gamepad user.
Just reminded about how stupid the whole gamepad idea was from watching the Quick Look, that's all. It never should have gotten beyond the planning stages. They should have realized that at the price they wanted to offer they couldn't actually make the screen offer a compelling experience, that they couldn't use two would be a significant issue, and that they never would make use of the damn thing in the first place.
Imagine a kid who owns a Wii U with a friend who does also--I know, I'm getting into insane fantasy logic that doesn't apply to the real world already--and wants to play a multiplayer game. He can't just bring his Wii U controller. One of the two needs to own another controller, either the pro controller or whatever it's called this time around which is as expensive as another primary controller or a game for any other system, or they have to use the worst controller ever known to mankind in the Wii controller. That's bad design. Nintendo should have known better.
Or if you have two kids, well I'm sure that goes over well. Children never bicker and get jealous over who gets to use the better controller, so having only one screen would never be a problem there.
I guess in the end what I'm talking about is that Nintendo deserves every bit of failure they get with the Wii U. It's all self-inflicted wounds.

You sound like a maniac.
Only when I'm confronted with overwhelming stupidity like the Nintendo Wii U. It's impossible to understand where they were coming from with this thing.
The Wii U is a pile of insignificant issues that add up to make a worse experience than the competition offers. And the only reason that it's not a more significant issue is because nobody makes use of the gamepad in any way that is at all interesting, so nobody actually cares.
If you've seen Dan's heel turn, you're safe to go watch/do something else.

How is the account system on the wii u these days?

In what capacity? Adding friends is pretty easy (no codes, by name, which covers them between games), I haven't had any issues with it these days.

Owning games I presume it is still stored on the system not account based?
Also King Kong is on tv.
I miss three person quick looks.

Pretty much, that has to be one of the best Giant bomb's moments of 2014. It's the way Dan gleefully enjoyed his deception that made it so fucking good, you can tell in his face that he was so happy, Dan is so great. I hope we get more of that in the future.

The Duder of the year is hands down Dan Ryckert.
Mario Party and MGS might just be my favorite series of videos on Giantbomb ever.
