We're playing the last round of generic party games, and we're looking at arguably the high point and the low point of the genre on Wii U. Of course, it's not a proper party without Dan Reese, and he joins us as we sort through some inscrutable minigame collections. First up, it's the bafflingly-titled, hilariously cheap collection FAMILY PARTY 30 GREAT GAMES OBSTACLE ARCADE SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM; then, we're playing the Nintendo-sanctioned version WII PARTY U, featuring much more competent gameplay and the terror that is Party Phil.

This time, instead of discussing a particular game, we're diving deep into amiibo, Nintendo's answer to the toys-to-life craze! Unlike SKYLANDERS, amiibos are more free-floating, working with several games rather than having one platform built around them, and this has helped them endure longer than the competition. We look deep into the history of the figures, discuss their collectible value, and try to pinpoint the lasting appeal of the slickly-designed figures.

Next episode: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist 

]]> Wonder-eyes, Red! This week, we're playing THE WONDERFUL 101, a weirdo cult artifact and one of the Wii U's most notable exclusive releases! PlatinumGames' hyperactive action game puts you in control of up to 100 masked superheroes who can join together into elaborate shapes to help fight an alien invasion! It's all super creative, but is it any fun? 

Happy holidays to everyone! We'll be taking a slight break through the end of the year but Wii Universe will be back January 1!

One of the best-selling ZELDA games of all time makes the leap to the Wii U with a stellar visual upgrade, but do the clearer visuals cast the game's flaws into relief?

The game offers some of the coolest dungeons and items in the series' history, but does the languid pace and too much backtracking weigh the game down?

]]> We're pulling on our driving gloves once again to play yet another round of racing games! This time, we're covering the weirdly prolific TOP GEAR series, which offers four very different racing experiences, all of which are somehow completely unrelated to the popular TV show. Whether it's hyperactive motorcycles or cars with teeth, we've got you covered! Plus, some amazing discussion questions from listeners!

Of course, this means plenty of fascinating history, no small amount of PUNCH-OUT talk, and everyone's favorite: a Michael Buffer minigame.
