The Tanooki’s Daily Recap – July 16, 2007

Did you like our podcast from Saturday? Want to subscribe to them? Well, now you can! Click Here to subscribe to our podcasts via iTunes. The picture hasn’t shown up yet and it’s not searchable because it was just approved, and we’re waiting on it to be listed. But it’s there if you want to check it out. We’re still working on getting our podcast on Yahoo! and Odeo, among others, and we’ll put up a podcast page with all those links once we have them.

Aside from that, not a bad day for news today. We’re out of E3 and I’m almost done posting the game info I collected and thought was worth posting. We’re back into the weekly and daily news, but it feels a whole lot fresher now. We don’t have as many “unknowns” the rest of the year, especially regarding release dates, and we know what Nintendo’s next big thing is in Wii Fit. The rest of the year will likely be hyping up the fall and holiday lineups, but with so many conferences and expos in the coming months, we should be able to get a look at what’s really going to continue to drain our wallets as we head into 2008.
