Hey guys, it's time again for the annual NintendoWorldReport.com Charity Podcast Telethon! This will be the 4th iteration of this fun event and it's all for the kids.
Last year's event was a rousing success, and NWR hopes to repeat or even exceed that. The current donation goal is set at $4000, but if $5000 are raised, a very special (and assuredly hilarious) segment will air at 9pm. See details below.
UPDATE: All segments were unlocked barely 2 hours in! HOLY CRAP! :O
UPDATE2: two additional "stretch goals" have been added to the lineup. they will be recorded at a later date, if unlocked.
UPDATE3: all stretch goals have been unlocked
