Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly
video game show here at geek Firs. I'm your host
Till Muss, and I have with me. The adventure is
out there. Travis Snoll, How you doing tonight, my friend?
Speaker 2: I am doing well. It's good to be back on
side Quest. I had to run there for a bit
and then a little break, but I am back. So, uh, yeah,
I'm excited. We've got some fun stuff. Got this cast,
got Darren al tomorrow, got Mario next week. So there's
some some fun like fort or nine ten days of
stuff coming, you know. So I'm excited, yeah, very much.
Speaker 1: So it should be a fun run of stuff here.
And I feel like we're on the prespice for gaming stuff.
I feel like we're on the prespist like of a
bunch of announcements, Like I feel like there's a Nintendo
Direct right around the corner. I feel like Mabe Inintendo
was waiting for the movie to come out, and the
Mario movie that is, and then they're gonna drop something
here with some updates I want, like the summer games
and things like that. I feel like we're almost there.
Speaker 2: And I think it was some dev of Wolverine, but
they did reinforce that they do plan to do an
update in springtime about that, because they said that originally
about like a direct because I guess they said they
want to get one not direct showcase. They said they
want to do one more before pre orders and stuff
for out.
Speaker 1: And it was the first day of spring, like three
days ago.
Speaker 2: Right think, So I'll give them some breathing room. But
still we got that look forward to so and I
appreciate that. I'll see like they're gonna make the money
no matter up. But I like them to be like, yeah,
let's do one more before the pre orders go up,
just to kind of maybe reinforce like, hey, we got
we got the goods over here. And I'm hoping that
means if it's a girthy showcase, which I can't wait
for us to cover, that means that they that date's staying.
You know. Yeah, That's what I'm kind of hoping.
Speaker 1: So feels good, feels good, and that kind of thing happens. So, yeah,
today's episode, we're gonna be talking about some Switch stuff,
talking about some maybe dream sequels, whether that's like a
follow up too a Switch one game or just Nintendo
games that we want to see on the this console.
That's like approaching a year old, which feels crazy to
say because I feel like I haven't even actually sharned
my in like a couple of months personally, but yeah,
that's kind of crazy. And then just some of the
games we've been playing. And then before that, the one
news topic of today is Marvel to Con, which is
of course coming out now in August. Got a new
character announcement just last week, which is funny. They've done
this in a very strange way, right where they had
various trailers, various betas where they just like had their
original eight characters that they announced and weren't announced it anymore,
and people saw in the subreddit going crazy like where
are these character announcements? Every day? It's like when do
you think we'll see the next announcement? And then they
just came out of nowhere and announced like three X
men and like one trailer and now we just got
like a blog post into like a quick trailer drop
of a new character. And I don't know, we'll see
what they do with the rest of these, but yeah,
they showed off that Penny Parker is a joining the
roster here, and this character is specifically rounding out the
Amazing Guardians team. You know, we saw that with the
X Men announcement whenever that was a month or two ago,
that they're kind of chunking these these teams of four.
You know, you can obviously switch it up, you can
use an X Men and Spider Man and Iron Man
whatever you want, but they're kind of set up as
a team of four. So we actually actually like X
Mens pretty straightforward. Didn't really know where like star Lord
is gonna fit in, where Kamala is gonna fit in.
But it turns out we got the Amazing Guardians, which
is Spider Man, that's Penny Parker, of course, Miss Marvel,
and star Lord. So it's kind of a ragged head crew.
And then along with this that, we also showed the
Nowhere map, like nowhere from the Guardians of the Galaxy
and stuff. So, you know, what did you think of
a Penny Parker? What do you think of this like team?
Does this make sense to you or is it kind
of just like ah, I guess they just found a
way that they could chunk these four together.
Speaker 2: Ah, Like it makes sense, yes, and no, it doesn't
make sense. On the basis of all these people together. No,
But at the same time, comic books do that all
the time, right where it's like, oh, we got this, this, this,
let's give a storyline, right, like that's how Peter Quill
and Kitty Pride got married one time, you know, so
that's the thing. Like, yeah, I that's fine. I think
I think with the do you want to tell the
actual trailer now? And Penny Parker, Yeah, go for it, Okay,
I don't. I am Penny Parker is a phenomenal choice.
I wish there was more weirdos, like they have weirdos
in there. But I feel like you and me when
we first got the reveal of the initial fighters, thought, oh,
they're making some unique picks here. I think we're gonna
get a lot of different characters, and then it kind
of felt like, you know, we.
Speaker 1: Got Danger and Danger is a weird, deep cut, strange character.
But then other than that, it's like pretty part for
the course, like popular Marvel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess where I guess
where I'm confused or complicated on or just maybe disappointed
was I think you and I both thought the roster
would be bigger, so it's not that Penny Parker's not
a weird character and Danger's not weird character. Those are
great and they think I think they work very well
for this game. I think it was just that we
were thinking, Okay, there'll be a big roster, and maybe
it's gonna be like sixty percent your regular hero has
been like forty percent weirdos, and you know what, the
numbers might still work out that way. I'm not sure
if we looked at the weirdos and the normals and
we did a percentage, so maybe it does work out
that way. I I guess I just thought there'd be
more of a listen. But I think Penny Parker is
phenomenal choice. I think there's tons of fun things, Like
she's actually somebody that I if I boot up with game,
she'd probably be the first or second play through her character.
I would try to get my hands because again, like,
I'm sure is she in Marvel Snap? Is she there?
Speaker 1: Man? Not when I retired from the game, but I'm
sure she must be in there now.
Speaker 2: Like I'll do a quick search. But like I don't
know what game like characters like or.
Speaker 1: What Marvel rivals. I don't even know Penny.
Speaker 2: Parker, I don't think, so let me see Penny Parker.
I think okay, really, okay, let's go. She kind of
making a.
Speaker 1: Marvel Rivals, has a lot of the freak freak picks.
Speaker 2: So I have it here that she was in Puzzle Quest,
Dual Snap and Strike Force.
Speaker 1: What does she doing Marvel Snap?
Speaker 2: And a playable character in Contest of Champions. So again,
she's definitely rise And I can't even remember when she's
like debut. Let me look at her comic book debut here,
but I think that's a let's say she debuted in
twenty fourteen, so she's just a twelve year old character.
And like, I know, people, I know it sounds dumb
to say, like I'm not trying to make anyone sound done,
but in comic books, that is a very young character.
Like usually it takes a long time unless they pop
right away to appear in things. That's why even Kamala
kN when she was popping up in video games and
the movies or the shows, it's like, oh, I guess
you did have a movie, right, shit. The Marvels is
like wow, these characters some usually take a little while
to just state and cook with the GA, So that's
cool for her. Obviously she'll be back for the third one.
So she's definitely a character that I hope plays very uniquely.
And I think that's a great choice and I wanted
more of that as we got along, and again there
could be more characters added, but Penny Parker, I was like, Oh,
that's a that's a home run pick right there. That's
exactly what we talked about that I would have never
ever predicted Penny Parker be in this game. And you
mean talk about those type of characters, Kay, who is
gonna be that weird that when we booted up my
Marvel Fighting collection of like, man, they really liked Iron
Are Black Harden here right like these games like why
who knows? But I think this is a great choice,
asthetic work. So yeah, I'm I'm I think a good
decision by them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I think this pick makes a lot
of sense. You know, we talked about when we did
that prediction kind of it kind of is a dream
roster slash prediction that we did for this game a
few months ago that you know, even looking at the
team's last game and like Guilty Gear, they have some
really strange characters in there, and one of them is
quite literally just like a fucking tank, like a like
an actual like military tank, huge, right, and it's like
five times bigger than like any other character. And I
like when fighting games have weird off the wall picks
like that, like Iron Giant in multi versus that tank
character and Guilty Er is so weird, but like they
still work with the the mechanicals of the game. They're different.
They're usually a lot more tanky. You're not gonna comble
them in the same way. They're not gonna comble you
in the same way, but they make it just have
a lot more flavor to it, and it kind of
a different archetype than even just like a tanky character,
you know, a fighting game. It's like a total, totally
different thing in general. So I really like that she's
kind of embodying that it is strange, and I've I
feel like in terms of how much more weird characters
are we going to get? Because at this point we
know what the five base game teams are, right, we
got the X Men one, we got the Spider Guardian
Amazing Guardians. I guess I was about to say Spider Friends.
It's not that we have an Avengers team, so that
one's gonna be based, like that's gonna be like thor
and like maybe Wasp is like the weirdest pick you'd
see there, and then we have like a Midnight Suns
and then whatever Doctor Doom's like evil team is. And
so I feel like that's maybe the realm, especially the
ghost Rider team, that is maybe where we could get
some more strange off the wall. So hopefully we get
at least a couple more weird ones, ones we didn't
expect because Penny. I went back to our our draft
thing we did and yeah, Penny Parker was nowhere in
my notes, like we didn't even mention her once once,
I don't think, And that's great like Danger either, right,
that's awesome that we're going for deep cuts, weird characters
and even we didn't even consider those two. So I
think it's a really cool pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's funny because Danger would it just like
if you would have asked me Crystal Ball, someone says, say, hey,
who are getting Penny Parker? Dan obviously getting both, but
I thought, oh, for sure, Penny Parker, she's in movie,
She's get more father Danger. There are some rumors that
characters gonna be in Dead Pull Wolverine, but that's a
very I would say niche character, Like I have to
go back and see. I'm sure in one of the shows,
but I don't think it's ever gone like a massive
arc in the animated stuff. I've watched it, but it
has and I've forgotten about. But it's not like a
Mister Sinister Apocalypse where all the whole season was based
around danger. Right, They're probably gonna episode or episode two,
So that to me and I love because that's probably
someone that she is looking at characters and has an
a fascination with danger, and that's what we want because
bring new characters. Right, So yeah, I'm curious how it goes.
Speaker 1: So absolutely yeah. So I don't know. I feel like
the rollout because what is August? I guess that's still
five months away. But I feel like the rollout is
gonna be pretty consistent here. I feel like we'll maybe
get it. Seems like they might just be doing this
now like here drop one character, or they might do that.
I don't I guess they've done both ways now drop
one character time, or they've dropped like a full team
at once. So we'll see how they choose to roll
out the rest of these, But yeah, it's gonna be
a fun ramp up to because I don't think they're
having a hidden ones, right, They're gonna have announce them all
before launch.
Speaker 2: So I wish they had some ones. But I guess
if there's no unlocked system then not. I'm always the
Smash the.
Speaker 1: Age we're in that just doesn't Those things don't get
kept secret anyway. Like the game comes out day one,
everyone already knows the whole roster, people that data mind
the game and stuff like that. I don't know. I
wish it would happen more, but yeah, I feel like
it's just unrealistic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I guess it's just the kid me And
that's that was the fun thing when we first played
Smash with the girls, when it was that unlock and
they have no idea these characters are and there's just
such a fun novelty to that. But you're probably right
for all of us, it's just everything's out there and
we're spoiled.
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely cool. And then we'll just move along
to games we've been playing. I'm boring again. All I've
been playing lately is just a bunch of Blood on
the clock Tower and Rocket League. That's like the only
things I've been playing, if you consider Blood of the
clock Tower video game, but those are really the only
things I've been gaming the last few weeks, other than
of course my my weekend long Resident Evil Journey. But
other than that, it's those two games. So you take
it away because you have some more interesting things going on.
What have you been up to?
Speaker 2: Yeahs Rocket League? Still been pound around with Sarrus in
that one or some.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me and Sarahs in the duos, which is which
is very fun. I feel like we're both getting better.
We've actually been playing really consistently and so we've noticing
some improvement there. But it's just it's a crazy game,
and I'm still learning new things. I've started because Travis,
do you know, if you like, if you boost really fast,
you go and you start going like super Sonic and
you smash someone else, they blow up their car. I
saw this thing on YouTube and I was like, Oh,
I just want to do this. Now We're all do
that to someone. I'll I'll get the get the kl
the kaboom on them. But then you always spawn in
one of two spots after you get killed, and so
I'll kill someone and then I'll immediately go for the
spawn kill exactly where they spawn and get the double kill.
And it is so BM and it makes people so salty.
They go in the chat and they're like so pissed
at me. And then sometimes there's been some games where
you can just see in their play that they're not
even paying attention to like the game anymore. In the
ball and scoring, they're just pissed at me and trying
to kill me. A couple of times it's led to
our demise because I've pissed these people off, But other
times they're so distracted and so filled with hatred that
we get the win win because they're just not paying
attention as much anymore. So, uh, yeah, you know, I
might be it might be a little bit of a
BM kind of strategy, but I'm having fun trying to
just get better at bonking into players and kabooming them.
It's just it's a different kind of meta than I've
used until recent.
Speaker 2: Things I would be I that would piss me off too,
I'm not. Yeah, that would be super annoying. So no,
it's a fun little journey because we had that little
narrative when you guys did the uh the ga face
off with you and Hadalgo versus Yeah, Tyler and Taylor.
So and that was weird talking about that a little bit.
Oh it's even stuff. So maybe maybe this year again
it will pop up again. I would like the kids
mega le but and I don't want to verse any
of you guys in it, So hopefully that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: But if I do it to Versu, I will go
for the kaboom strategy just to piss you off because
I live on camera of raging at me.
Speaker 2: I know. Now I'm gonna tell my partner, hey, don't
let Dian get to the spot. Don't like I'm like,
don't let happen. So, uh no, that's fun. Rocket League
has some great history in our also that was not
a great history. You guys just screamed Tyler and Taylor.
Speaker 1: But me and Dollgo were a damn good team. We
just we were locked in.
Speaker 2: I always love those It's just like how Kirkland uh
and Tyler they never actually won the team titles in Gatland,
but they just had such a good chemistry going on.
Because I think it was one tournament where they randly
got paired together and they I think they it was
the Conquest. I think when it was, Oh, I think it, yeah,
I think it was Amber and Taylor were together and
that was a legendary match. But then Kirkland and Tyler
just became like really good chemistry and it was never
even thought of it. And then me and you guys
can find on YouTube as well, we did two matches,
me and Tay versus Kirkland and Tyler, and we had
some legendary Mario party matches that came down to the
y Or for the Tag Championships. So it was a
good time. But uh yeah no. So obviously I've been
tunus for weeks months, maybe in the year this was
supposed to be It's my bad of like maybe Tom
Crimson Dez's episode. I couldn't take the plunge down. I
went back and forth, and because I had said this
on the cast where I said, Hey, if it's eighties,
I'm for sure. If it's seventy eight, seventy eight, medi great, green,
I'm good. And it kept bouncing between seventy eight and
seventy seven. Now here's the where I really stopped, And
this is where they're still it's been getting better. But
the hole back and forth was for me was that
was the PC score, and everybody had said how much
worse is played on a base PS five, which I have.
I've like, maybe in the future get PS five pro.
But I'm the type of guy that's like, I will
get it if mine breaks. I don't need I love
obviously updates and graphics, but I'm not the graphical guy, right,
I'm not like, oh, I need the priest think because
I think that's all PC stuff. So if my PS
five breaks, which you know, knock on wood, I don't
want it to. I'm fine to wait till the PS six.
But I've heard that PS five fine, and the PS
five or PS five pro stories fine, and then PS five.
I've seen a lot of you know, oh do these
settings what? And I've still been falling Crimson Desert quite
a bit the news, but I just couldn't take the
plunge ladies and gentlemen at that, at the price and
at the very much, and especially too I've been talking
with because Norman Rea's feetus, he's been somebody that's like, uh,
he got it, and he looking our discord. He posted
like a Steam review, and he's really enjoying, he said,
to the point where he was like kind of itching
to get back to right whenever he had to do
real life stuff. So that was good to hear, but
I it is so I'm happy for him. But it
is that case that ever since the games come out,
every day they post a tweet and it's a it's
always a wall of text and it's all this stuff.
And they've already done which I know a bunch of
games do, but they've already done like two patches where
it's like, oh, we're changing the control scheme, this and that.
So I don't think it's to the exem because I
was talking with you know, uh god, what was his
old name now called lont he's sixty nine. I'm gonna
sloop out this guy's real name, but norm Ria's fetus.
I was talking with him, and I agree with him
where I don't think it's ever gonna be like Noman
Sky or Cyberpunk per Se, where they changed lots of
big things about the game, but already lots of things
have been changed, like the fact. To me, it's I
guess it's a good thing, but I'd almost be a
little annoyed if I got that game and I was
going pedal Metal for side quest, and then day three
they're like, oh yeah, we changed the controls, this, this, this,
so after more stuff has happened.
Speaker 1: That's like almost every game these days. It's like you
are you are playing a better version of the game
if you just wait three months, which you know sucks
for the sake of like dwanting support developers and by games,
which is why I love the conversation and stuff, But
like it's just it is the case, especially for big
open world games that have a million variables and probably
have bugs that they didn't couldn't foresee until millions of
players hide it in their hands, right.
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm back to more like what we
did for Recreem, where it's like, okay, it's not the
big open world. It's a single solo. You know, there's
a little open world, but it's point A to point B, right,
Like this is the game. It's not all this could happen.
This could happen. So I think eventually at some point
this year we'll talk about it. It's been interesting the scores.
I will probably get it on a sale, but also
it's a big game, so but no, my algorims code
that way have been following it obviously. Then on Monday
they had like an AI controversy. So it's always like
it's like one thing I'm happy to like sit back
and wait. I don't think it's as bad ascause I
did that with Cyberpunk, and I remember that that weekend
was bad because people's games were crashing this and that.
So I did the same thing. I went with the gut.
I'm like, okay, I got that. And as I said
to Dylan, it's like, if Bond and Batman were weren't
on the way, then I probably would just took the
lead because I've been very excited for it. But like, okay,
but because that's already.
Speaker 1: And one of the moved the day, right, so not
the same day.
Speaker 2: It's a week ahead now. Yeah, so I'm gonna be
doing both. So I'm very happy about that. So that
gives me enough time because Batman is not like going
to be I think, like, it looks like a big game,
but it's not gonna be like like it's it's doable,
you know, like it's something.
Speaker 1: That's one you can ship away at for the rest of.
Speaker 2: The year, Yeah exactly, and Bond well who knows. But no,
I'm excited for those and because we just Didrequim, so
I decide to not get it, so I was disappointed.
There's definitely been some Fomo Dilm even today. At one point,
because I've been seeing some of the patches and stuff,
I almost thought of a buying it. I was like, Oh,
it's still there, but I'm like, no, I'm gonna sit
back wait because I've told Dylan I think my next
stuff is probably gonna be al in Wake too, because
I wanted to finally finish that, and because the Reds
play through kind of got in the middle of that,
so I might do that. And then, as I talked
about in the Resident Evil Cast, I got play PlayStation Premium.
I have that till June. I was talking about this
with the off cast, but the sign Hill to remake
is on Premium, which I didn't even know but just
I just stumbled into it. So and I've heard great
things and I've never been able to talk this another episode,
but that's a series franchise. I've just never, like I said,
I was a res kid, didn't go there. So yeah,
that's kind of my plan for the next little bit
and then May, obviousely's gonna be packed with Batman and Bond.
I'm excited for that. So I guess, like an update
on I guess this is a small one me because uh,
Emily's still off for her maternity leave, so she's off,
I got a week off from work, the kids are off.
But at nighttime, we've been playing The Quarry Finally, I
think you and Taylor talked about this like a year
or so ago and whatnot, so I'll keep it briefing.
And we've only done like, I think an hour forty three.
So it's fun because I kind of told her what
the game was, but she's not a big horror person,
so I kind of left out some of those details
about how scary or not scary it is. And so
far it's a it's a fun time. A little annoyances
every once in a while where it's like pick option A,
option B. Didn't pick option A. It's just kind of
a variation maybe what B would be right?
Speaker 1: So, but did she play like until dawn in other
games with you?
Speaker 2: She watched me play on until Dawn. So when I
said all these the people made until don she's like, Okay,
got it. And it's been fun because some people, you know,
some really good acting for it. Some people it's a
little iffy with those games. But yeah, so far only
hour forty three. It was fun because she picked her four.
I picked my four. We haven't got to any point
of like anyone dying or anything big happening yet. There's
a lot of like searching. It's funny that we did
all the Resident Evil playthroughs and there's a lot of
this game that's like fixed Campbell camera angle. So it's
funny when I talked about, oh, now I'm playing these remakes,
aren't like that, and then going this game like, oh,
this is like a modern day version of that. So yeah,
so we're gonna do that because I've read somewhere it's
only like eight to nine hours, so I think we're
gonna finish that during spring break. So I'll update you
in the future. But we'll do that because we haven't.
We haven't played too many games again because we used
to do all all like always or obviously we all
used to do COD but CAD I actually had to
delete cod Don't finally off my console to install yeah,
and to install the new WB game. So it's gone.
So maybe maybe it's I'm pointing a bood back up,
but it's like near three hundred gigabytes, you know.
Speaker 1: That was Yeah, I can't. I wonder when the last
time we played was, Like, it's probably approaching a year
ago or something.
Speaker 2: I think, so I think maybe at some point after
the Twins. I think I played with you guys a
little bit, but I don't think too much. So yeah,
I know we're we're gonna have to find something to
I still like to get back in the Hell Diversities.
I haven't played that in a while too.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's more Outlast. There's definitely so many multiplayer games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see. So, yeah, we're doing that. So
it's been fun. And then yeah, I talked about a
little bit already, but yeah, we did the gmode stream
two weeks ago and then I've been playing WW two
K twenty six. I will update and this is what
is interesting. So I think I told you this set
down the the AI. They've introduced AI just being like
the game intelligence is not the actual AI for the game.
They've introduced an immortal mode, which is like people that
were like myself wanting harder GM mode stuff, and I
can say don't for the first time, and I don't
know how long I actually got beat by the NPC,
which is yeah.
Speaker 1: So is it because they have like crazy cheets or
because it's like smart smart play.
Speaker 2: There it's smart play and it definitely I don't think
it's like full AI where it definitely adapts to how
you play, but it's not as predictable because if what
my problem was that with the old one, because let's
just say there was extreme and immortal. It felt like
a stream you would assign it a show, a general manager.
It felt like eventually you could learn that algorithm how
to beat that GM, and then it got no fun.
So I'd have to do stuff of Okay, I'm not
gonna use these power cards or use this advantage, like
I'd almost have to Buffet's always harder for myself. So
in this one, I played my first play through with
a whole set. It's my old set as far as
my show and my GM, and then I did six
seasons of that and beat it every time, so I thought, okay,
and it was. It was tough at the beginning. There
was times where it's like, okay, this is this is
getting very tricky. So then I did a new play through.
I started over with the new GM and the new show,
and I was doing that won the first season, but
it was really close. Okay, in the second season. What
I started to do because I thought, okay, I've played
now seven seasons already, they haven't beat me. Maybe it's
not as hard as I thought it was gonna be.
So I stopped doing the thing where I'd use certain
cards and whatnot. And that's where it's not even like
it would beat me. It just creamed me. So that's
where before when I would use these power cards or
some advantages you earn, i'd feel and that's one thing.
I'll give them a lot of credit. And so far
we did our just our first five weeks on the
GM mode stream. But I think they've done a good
job of making sure the fans because if people don't
know each general manager books a show and you get
fans based upon that. So it's like, if I had
an a show, maybe I'm gott a hundred fans of
deal book to b Sho, he's getting like fifty fans. Right.
It felt like in the old seasons you could get
very far away from the other gms, and it's it's
to the point where they can't even catch up. So
I'll say the good thing is where it feels like
the fan retention is very close to the bo shows.
But I've never had it before where the CPU would
go super far. I've had it where they've beat me
or like get further than me. But this was like,
and this is a lot for people that don't unerstand
like them being one hundred grand plus or more fans
of me, that's like a lot of room to make up.
So now I found this thing because before I'd get
these power cards, but I don't want to use these
because it just becomes unfair and I just destroy the CPU,
where now it's like, okay, I actually have to use these.
So once I did that, yeah, I like rushed to
a third play through because when it beat me, I
was I was shook. Don I was shook. And even
the third play through, I only beat it by fourteen
thousand fans, which is not a lot. At the end,
I did find some stuff, and then the fourth season,
I just creamed the CPU. I was like going, I
was like overperformed, like I was going really hard. So
I'm going to be playing this for a little bit
of all spin.
Speaker 1: Well did you solve it now? It sounds like you
kind of solved it now.
Speaker 2: Well maybe I don't know for sure, because I want
to see what it does, how it responds to me
creaming it now, because I have before it's been close.
What it was, it was close and then it creamed me,
and then it was really close, and then I creamed it.
So I just want to see same thing as like,
did I figure it out? Because that's what I thought
Dan when I played the six seasons and beat it
every time. I okay, it definitely was harder, don't get
me wrong. It was harder than last game, but I
was still winning. But I was like, Okay, I think
I figured this out. And then when I lost and
then got really close to lose and said, okay, maybe not.
So I want to see did I figure out or
is it the same thing where Okay, I overcompensated one year.
Now it's gonna come in hard and overcompensate for me.
So no, it's been fun that way. I've actually played
a lot more of the wrestling stuff too, because this
is a big controversy thing they have like a battle
pass now for the Dlcason stuff Dylan, so they've adopted that.
I only got the first one because I pre ordered it.
I'm not gonna get anymore. And I was playing some
of the wrestling, and it was actually fun because the
girls like to watch me play the wrestling stuff. I
think there's a mode, whether I have you guys play
it or we just watch a bunch of CPUs. They've
there's a mode called the Backstage Brawl. But these sets
that they have added to these brawls are ridiculous. There's
one where you're pretty much just fighting an amusement park
and people are jumping off stuff. It is some wild
so the girls were having like a heyday with this.
There's certain things if you build up enough stamina you
can do like a Spiderman jump and jump like ten
stories up to get someone. That's completely like it's wrestling game,
but it's like completely like fictional stuff. So I've been playing.
I was playing more of that. I don't know, I'm
gonna get into it, but I was playing us just
some actual more of the wrestling because I actually really
barely play any of that, so I did to do that.
I did that because for the GMO that our first stream,
we had our classic where we're gonna play five matches
and that determines the winner. I was very happy I
didn't finish last this year. Dylan s Pub's actually finished last,
so it was David, myself and then s Pub So
that was the ranking of who picked the shows and whatnot.
So yeah, I got the first win. There's some really
good close ones. I gotta make a highlight reel soon.
But no, I've been very happy. As I've said before,
I'm very curious what they do next year because I
think I'm about ninety to ninety percent of the stuff
that I wanted from the passes in there, so now
we just have to be a new stuff being added.
But everything I talked about I think a couple of
weeks ago on some of the announcements was I'm very
happy about bigger rosters, more match type. So it definitely
is still like a comfort food game and I'm very
looking everybody to keep playing now to see like, okay,
what does this GM do? And like I said, what
does this Mortal stuff do? So I'm having a good
time with that. So it still is a good purchase there.
Speaker 1: What does it still have the same like character creator
that the all we had. Ok, yeah, there was some
the better, the same pretty much as last year.
Speaker 2: It's pretty much the same now. Don't get me wrong.
I'm sure there's somebody in the Call community. That's what's
called Dylan is the creator wrestler community, So call there
you go. There is lots of controversies. There's lots of
stuff early that they had to patch that they were missing.
But for that community, they were also very happy because
they are allowed two hundred slots now before it was
only one hundred slots. Nice. Yeah, so you can you can, Yeah,
you can. Obviously a lot they're believe me or not.
There's actually people that have a Patreon, like multiple patreons
going of this, like if you want this certain created thing,
you have to subscribe their patreon to get that thing,
to get the code. So yeah, there's a lot of
that type of stuff. But uh no, it's still very vast.
We were looking through it. The girls watched a match
of these. It was fully like a mod of like
no model, but like created a Mario. It was like
an eight ten man battle Royal of like to Donkey
Kong and Bass, but these were like really good ones,
not the freaks I kind of gave you guys. These
were like, these people have spent their effort, like yeah,
day and night to make this, so yeah, it's still there.
And that's why I don't. I won't buy those battle
passes because there's even a guy coming in the battle
pass in a couple of months from now. He's people
have just made them online, So I do like the
scummy thing for that company is to salt people from
doing that, but I hope they don't because I just
I will never pay for that type of stuff. I
can always wait. But no, the Kreira communities fantastic, and
that was my second play through. I downloaded a bunch
of guys again. The servers week one little iffy. We
only had two crashes this time with Gamal, which is
great because when we did the first stream of it,
when we did the when you draft the roster, if
you remember doing that where you picked the superstars, it
crashed like three or four times last year on so
this year only once and we were good. And then
another time it crashed but saved all our progress, So
we had a pretty good It's pretty both of us
to try to do like the gmode servers like a
week ind but we just want to get going. And no,
it was good. David said he's been he was practicing
a little bit, so he didn't want to get completely creamed.
And yeah, we had a good stream where for a
couple of weeks David was first for a couple weeks,
Spell was the first, and then I ended up first.
So it's that's why it's and that's why I say again,
overall a big hit on is I feel like they've
done a good job of making their not nobody can
fall below too far and get ahead so far. So
even when I say I creamed that, you know the CPU,
it's not like the old days where before it's like
you get to a point where it's untouchable. Just felt
like uh creaming, you know, lacking a better word for that.
Speaker 1: Say you used the word cream a lot less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why. I feel like I'm a
bowllying the a they're gonna cream this guy. But no,
it's it's it's still a good time. And yeah, check
all those streams when we do when we do them
once a month, so I don't know when April one is,
but it'll be coming and then I played a little
bit more. I haven't completely finished it, but I was started.
I told them this Resident Evil to play through with
Claire right now. Uh, just because stuff that happens in
the game people know, and just with the code Veronica mumblings,
I was like, I just I just want to go
back and play that, and I'm I think I'm pretty
I do want to do Islake two, but my hand
is definitely itching to go to Resident Evil four too.
I think I'm gonna finish and when I'll transition to
I'm gonna finish my in Sandy play on Resident Evil nine.
But two was just It's been great to go back
there already. I'm definitely still I'm not in the hangover
yet the post more of metal, I'm still in the
Resident Evil vibe. Maybe it's because we're still everyone so
all watching a movie. I'm still like in that mindset.
But and then yeah, we talked both on the rec
Room review, which thanks for everyone checking that out. That
was a did good for us. I'm doing Resident Evil
on Sandy mode now a little bit of cheat though,
because I did finish my speed run play through. I
finished at I think it was three hours and twenty
one minutes or something like that there, or maybe it
was forty one minutes actually I think it, Yeah, I
think it was forty one minutes. I was really worried
near the back half because there was one time I
was looking through Reddick at reddits and someone said, hey,
I'm here right now, what happens and that person just
said you're cooked, like meaning like you're not gonna finish
it in time. But then someone down below is like,
know if you do this and this, I just found
myself at the uh start just killing too many zombies
because it was on easy though, but still you just say, oh,
kill them, but it is just bare like just a
run by them, don't even you know, just ignore them
everything like that. So I did that. That got me
enough of that, like in game XP to buy Infinite Ammo.
So I went in with Infinite Ammo on Insanity and
it's been fun. Right now. I got to just where
Grace is in the basements, that's where you know, with
those gates and stuff. So I did everything else. So man,
it has been great to have the rec oring gun
and Infinite bull. It's like it's because like I used
in all my playthroughs that gun so sparingly because I
was like, I don't know what's gonna ever come around
that corner, right, even with the speed rounds, like, oh,
I want to keep this just to blow away a guy. Right,
So that's been great, and it is It was a
lot hard because I thought, Okay, I'm gonna go in
there inmin ammo easily gonna win. I the first time
I play is Leon, I died in those streets. Don't
I die in those streets? Because it feels like for
every when you bumped into the zombie the first time,
forever one there's probably three, so maybe yeah, it kind
of doubles it somewhere there. And then yeah, the if
people haven't played this game, there's these ones called the
blister Heads, and they kind of have like just these
two big blisters on their left and right, and they're
a bit more durable, they're faster, they make weird movements,
they can attack you and just do a lot more damage. Yeah,
those are in the streets the first mission is Leon,
they're already there. So in the Resident Evil for like
when you just play it kind of in the regular mode,
it's just kind of walk through a lee on your
in the streets taking out a couple of zombies. Nothing
too tough. This throws you in it right away, and
so I was not expecting clickers, And yeah, I died
right away because you're durability. Even though I have like
the full health and everything like that doesn't matter. You
get to take it out. And then I think I
died again when you go to the memorial center of
the care center, and I died in the like the
chainsaw one. So I was like, Okay, I gotta like,
I gotta work this out and have it because at
least with Grace, a lot of those are it's still stealthy,
so you can walk up with a rec room and
pop one where the leon missions are a lot of
things running at right, So those were actually hard. Of
this playthrough, it's been fun. I think what I will
do is I don't know when I'm gonna do it,
but I think I'm gonna do probably a fourth playthrough
of do Insanity, but with no infinite AMMO, because now
there gets to a point where it is I'm just
having a fun time now right of I'm gonna worry
about this. These are crazy, but that's so I think
we're gonna do is do this as a prepper and
then okay, now play it when you got to get
the bullets, get the hurt.
Speaker 1: The resource gathering.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly, use the like because I think
I also have one of the unlocks too, where I
can just use unlimited save ribbons now and stuff. Oh yeah,
so I think I'm gonna do this. This is just
like the pure fun playthrough because I played it for
the review and the story, and then I played the
speed run, which I'm not a speed runner. Man, I
don't like it. I get I get nervous, I got anxious.
I also just I don't enjoy games that way of
like just going through all the beats, but I want
to do it, and then now I'm doing kind of
the fun play through. But yeah, I definitely think that
the the the insanity. I think any mode with infinite
AMMO there is a fun too, but I would never
recommend it that way because even as Grace, you just
feel like you're in godmall right. Just to have the
rec room and you can do whatever, it kind of
takes that fun out of it, right, So That's why
I'm always I think I did the right thing of
playing whenever standard the very first time. And now this
is like for different reviews because I don't think too
hard obviously for the view on to be done, but
no one, Sandy, if you ever get back into it,
then I highly recommend it. It definitely is still more challenging
and it has like a already. That's why I've loved that.
I feel like each time I've played a different you know, difficulty,
and it's given me a different version of that. So
that's been just been more kind of sprinkled throughout. Obviously
Gmode came out a couple of weeks ago, so I
played that a lot, but then Rez they played last week,
so I mean that's more gonna be like, hey, if
I have a little time bump with some resident evil,
you know, way to get a typewriter and go for there.
I'm in a rush now I'm enjoying it because the
speed run I did a rush and uh yeah, I
know still still loved it, having a great time. So
I'm excited to keep playing that until we get DLC
or yeah whatever, which you know, there's lots of hot
and heavy rumors out there about stuff going on, so yeah,
it Sandi Mode very fun even to Ammo just again
to have the rec room, just to pop off. I'm
very excited. Dyl knows a portion I'm talking about. There's
a portion of the game that I praise about in
the review. Very excited to get there with Infinite Ammo
because I'm ready to wreck shop. I'm ready to have
a good time. We're in the care center. I don't
really want to wreck shop, you know, like it feels
weird going in there, just being completely buffed up ready
to go. I don't have I didn't buy the unlimited
RPG one. That's a step too far from me. I
don't want to walk around with the RPG the whole
game and just blow things away. So maybe one day
I'll do that when I have nothing else to do.
But yes, that's that's what I've been doing right now,
just kind of a little bit of a some old games,
some new games. Like I said, the cors I guess
i'd never mentioned I'd never played before. I bought last
year like five bucks, and I've been wanting to play
it so which the Quarry sorry that one. Yeah, I
never even played alone because I just bought with the
intention of me and Emily playing it. So yeah, I
think I'm just gonna dabble that. I'll probably try and
get one play through of Wake. I thinking Wake before
we get to May. But as right now, I'm just
gonna be kind of relaxing a little bit in the game.
So I want to get back to some editing and
some writing because some of that stuff kind of took
a little bit of a break for the res playthroughs,
because I want to get that done. So I've thought
about go dipping my toes in five because I got Premium,
but I'm not sure because there's those rumors remake, so
I might wait. I think I'll dip my toes maybe
when I come up to Vancouver with you, and I
think that'll be. Yeah, I think that's a right toe dipping,
but I'll wait for the full game. So yeah, just
a bunch of just a buffet of stuff going on
over here, doing for games, you know, and Mario Kart
almost every week. The kids are loving that, Wary aware,
so we've been playing lots of Mario Kart the past
a little bit. That's been their go to so but
tomorrow we are because Emily has a work meaning we're
doing a smash. They're gonnaverse me one B three. They
want to take me on one B three, So I'm
I'll take it easy on, but I'm still gonna win. Done.
I'm not gonna Yeah, I'm still no, I'm gonna I'm
gonna win. I just mean like, I'm not gonna just
give them a win. I'm not gonna. I'll give them
a couple of stalks maybe if need be.
Speaker 1: But you know, do you little back against them or
do you switch it up? I guess in one be
three steting egacy is you kind of just go back
and forth and smash again.
Speaker 2: I think little for me, little Mac will always come
down to it's just a stage. I don't even think
it's a setting. I don't care if it's teams a
free for all, one v one. If I got the
right stage, I'm not saying you, but I think there's
definitely times in history where I have been able to
like squeak out a win against you, right, I can,
depending on what it is, I can figure out where
there's been times. Look at the last Colin Kyle was
all concerned about, oh, I'm gonna be the last one out,
and I was because I just kept one sweet and
I'm gone. You guys know what to do with me.
You guys know it hit me a couple times aside,
and that's it for the lu maack right. So I
think it's very stage depended. But when I've been I
haven't played a much against them yet, but when I'm
played against them or with them, it's definitely been me
trying out different characters and having a good time, which
I found like really damed Sonic for some reason, which
I never had before, but I was I was vibe
with Sonic the last couple of months here. So there
was another one too, I can't remember. There's another like
odd Ward ones like I would have never thought of
liking this person, so I'll have to think about that. Oh,
I think it was Mew two.
Speaker 1: Actually, you two is super fun. I love you. Yeah,
and Ouly's surprising enough for a Pokemon hater.
Speaker 2: Everyone knows Pokemon hater. But I think I was just
trying different. I think it was on random one time
with the girls, so I got MEW two. I's like,
you know what, I like this, So I think I'll
be prepared next year when we do the Smash Invitational
that little Mac will be chosen. Wisely, I think like
I just, I just And also I had not played
Smash in a while, like competitively. But I think next
time I will brush up, get a few more characters,
and if it's a good stage, then sure Little Mac
come more. But I'm not gonna just spam them, because
you know, to be honest everybody, I did think Kyle
was gonna finish last. I was being nice. I didn't
throw it. Don't get me wrong, he fully won. I
threw a different thing with Kyle. I didn't throw that,
but I thought for sure Kyle rarely plays that he's
gonna finish last. Even I wasn't even looking to win them,
like he's gonna finish last. So I also got a
little cocky there too, so that I won't I won't
discount that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, little Mac obviously very fast and
very surprising and just like how much damage you can deal.
But you know, if you play in a few matches,
you kind of get used to it and then it's
like and just you know, strike out his weaknesses. But
I feel like, yeah, if you were like in a
best of five against like a Saras or something like that,
and you wait, it's the final game, game five, you
whip up the Little Mac. Then I think that would have,
you know, really high payoff something like that, if it
was a surprise factor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where if I could get yet other
characters going, that'd be good, even the free Fralls, right,
because it'd be like, oh wystrets not doing this, and
then Little Mac you kind of forget about how he plays.
But Little Max is always my guy, you know. I
when you guys were at the height of that. I
remember I pulled at geek Mania two, pulled the win
off on Amber. I was surprised, Oh god, who was
who's your friend? That he would triple or nothing? He
bet me money. What was the night? It was a
custard home night he had the classes, Well.
Speaker 1: It would have been Clinton probably.
Speaker 2: No Clinton, No, I'd been Clinton before. No, it was.
Speaker 1: Nothing.
Speaker 2: He was he was a big tank talk where he
was bron Maybe it was Bronzon. Yeah, because we were
playing and I just beat him and then he he
was very surprised, so he bet me mind's okay, sure,
and they did it all double nothing, tripling. I made
fifty bucks at night because he just that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Very good at Melee, Yeah, I don't think very good
at Ultimate, but he probably feels like, oh, there's enough crossover.
I can take this guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But also that's when I was like that, swimming
a little macro one, like I could take on the world.
Speaker 1: They fused at that point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even Rubin, who's also very good smash player. I like, Okay,
I could go to till I could get a game
off him. If I can get a game off someone,
I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 1: So I like to you describe Bronson as a big
tank top guy, which is very accurate.
Speaker 2: But I remember, yeah, he had good set of shoulders
and he's always in a tank top, which I appreciate it.
I'm a tank top guy, so very good.
Speaker 1: Right on, Okay, let's jump to our first ad break.
We're gonna thank our wonderful Patreon producers who are up
here air Bid in April Darkness, Jack Grant, Super Bad,
Mike t g G, L M six nine AKA and
r F Hidelgo, Lenny Kravitz, Cocktail, Clay John with No Age,
Sam Green, and John m Thank you all for keeping
the lights on. Travis was just talking about Resident Evil.
There's all sorts of Resident Evil retros up there, but
Patron really us the best place to go to get
episodes early ad free exclusive. You get voting power, which
you had a lot of that recently. Might not be
as much voted in the next couple months here, but
always comes around depending on what the season is.
Speaker 2: What's our GVDA is only in like August is five
months away, so you guys can to decide our golden
geeks that we do. We got to do that earlier, remember,
so we can watch that stuff. So there will be
some stuff coming up in the near future for some
voting capabilities.
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, and other than that, just make sure
again to join the discord if you're not in there already. Again,
Taylor really revamped it recently, so it's looking good. It's
fresh and fun, so make sure to join that. And yeah,
with that, will jump to a quick ad break and
we'll be right back. Oh right, we are back, and
it's time for our main topic. So I yeah, today
I kind of chucked a handful of topics at you
and you narrowed down to this one. And I'm glad
you did pick this one because I feel like I
haven't really talked or thought a whole lot about Nintendo
or the Switch recently. I haven't turned mine on and
a little bit here, probably since like Anuary when I
was playing a lot of Kirby Air Riders, still partly
probably had a lot of people over lately to do
like multiplayer stuff or whatever. But yeah, I just haven't
really been too engulfed in a lot of Nintendo stuff lately.
But I do feel like there is i mean, fire
emblems coming out probably in the summer, so I'm excited
for that. We don't have a ton of announcements, though,
I feel like we are, as I said, kind of
waiting for that direct to come out, yeah and show
off some things. So yeah, I think we just wanted
to kind of talk about the Switch to do some
kind of I guess pitching Switch to sequels games specifically
for this console doesn't have to be a Switch one
game that's getting a sequel on the Switch too. I
have kind of a mix of some older things, a
couple of things that were from the Switch era. And
I think part of this too that I wanted this
was like a separate topic, and I thought we could
fuse them here because I didn't know if I had
enough juice for it to be full thing. But you know,
one of the big features, or at least one of
the I don't know if i'd call it a big feature,
but one of the features with the switch too is
that the joy Collens have like a mouse controls. It
is like mouse, you can use it as a mouse.
And I mentioned this to Trevs today, is like, can
you remind me of what that is? Which is not good?
That that's like a new feature of a console that
you have purchased and used and you don't even you
don't even really remember what this feature is because it
just isn't really used. Like Metroid dread or sorry, Metroid
Prime four had it for you know, first person aiming.
There's like Mario Paint you can play, which is like
an NES game, but you can use the most for that,
the Donkey Kong Bonanza, like sculpture mode. I think you
can use it for that, I assume, but it's just
like an extremely underutilized thing. And it's strange, right, it
feels like why would you put all you know, probably
R and D the tech The money investment to get
tech like that working must be huge and to not
really use it. I mean Bonanza, that one makes sense
because that wasn't originally planned as a Switch to Launch title.
It just kind of happened to be the case because
you know, it wasn't working to all on the Switch one.
I think with the performance and stuff, it feels like
they wouldn't have done all that just for Metroid Prime
Beyond because that game does you know, runs on the
Switch one as well, which doesn't have the most controls.
So at this point, it's like, well, what was the
point of it?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do with this this new thing?
And I feel like the third party developers aren't really
interested in using it yet or they haven't a whole
lot yet. Maybe we could do it with other games
in the future. But that was another factor in this.
I had a couple of games here, a couple of
pitches that I think could utilize this feature of this
console that seems kind of under utilized so far. But yeah,
just we'll go back and forth. Pitch a game, we
can talk about it, describe as much or as little
details you have. It might just be a title, you
might have a whole layout of what the story looks like.
I don't know how you've done this, Travis. I kind
of a mix of things as well. But when you
kick it off first, what is your first switch to
sequel what you would like to see?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got six, so I'm trying to decide what
is the one to bump. I had other ones that
were like adjacent, but I kind of got ridden there.
Speaker 1: I have a list of like honorable mentions. We can
always just spam some of the endfuon.
Speaker 2: Okay, then I'm gonna put that to honorable mentions there.
I think, Yeah, I'm gonna say and this is going
in the what I want to most want. So I'm
going from a like an ascending order, so I will
get way to my number one, but my own number
one it is like what I want the most. I
think I'll put this in the fifth lot. I'll put
and I think you could find something to do with
the mouse feature. Not sure if it's the defense or offense,
but we've talked about many time Mario sluggers more just
for the meme of it. We've gone a lot of
offsely tennis. They eventually did shrikers. They they didn't do Olympics,
But didn't they do something like Olympics or didn't they
do some sort.
Speaker 1: Of variation And when did we get you know, the
last Olympics, was I it might have been in the
Switch era, actually I.
Speaker 2: Thought it was. But and then also we got Switched Sports,
so we've and that's not Maria, but still we've gotten
these kind.
Speaker 1: Of everything except for in the Switch era we got
everything except for Hoops and Sluggers and like if you
count the party like the sports mixed games that have
like five games in there. But in terms of like
the just in the decade ones, just Hoops and Sluggers
haven't got a sequel in that era.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is definitely for the meme pick. People can
look back at history, meaning Kurkul had a very history
with this. And one of my big things is that
control wise, sometimes this game is awful. So I'd love
to play. I think some of the gimmicks, some of
the power ups, the attacks, I think we all like
it's a fun game. But I think also in the
mouse aspect, I would love it if you could use
that in a way to kind of make it to
throw your own custom curveball, you know, none just like
a whole like whole being it does this hole that
like if you were to like and also you can
make it away where hey, if you go too crazy,
it's gonna be a foul, right. You can't just make
it where you're just making something unhittable. But that would
be my mouse feature where you put that in there,
because I feel like you could do that. I don't
know anything on the hating aspect what you could do there.
I think that's gone there and there's nothing really else.
That's where I thought, Okay, if you're a pitcher, you're
playing that, maybe a jaw, a little circle X Y
and then boom, you can do that. But I think
it's I think it's time. Baseball still very big sport.
I think they're always looking for different type of EPs
and what they're gonna do. I still think that Mario
should And I'm not just saying this because I am
a football guy. It's like the NFL is the most
popular ip in the world right now. Well, how they've
not done any Mario football to me is kind of crazy,
you know, like, that's to me an easy cat for
a lot of people, and I think they could do
tons of fun if you have in that kind of
striker's vein. But Sluggers, baseball, MLB World Series still very popular.
I think I think it's gonna happen at some point.
I don't have a win for it, and I think
it's more just because I want that to happen and
I want to play on stream, and I very much
like that first match got be me and Kurkcle even
if worth nothing. It's like, I would love to play that,
but I think that that's a problem where we won.
Even there's been times where I think it was on
the stream just people are having fun with it. But
with it being on the Wii, it is a pain setup. Right,
There's consoles that we've talked about before, like hey, when
we do the twenty four our stream, like, let's avoid
this one because it's given us hassles before and the
Wei's always been one of those, right, So I would
love an update version you got completely tons of people
can add to the roster, right like way updated ones,
and yeah, that would be my most feature. So yeah,
Sluggers with a fresh coat of paint. Paint kind of
a meme pick, but still it's it feels like it's
kind of a part of GV gaming history for us,
So I feel like it's something if we were watching
a direct, we would pop for that and we would
be excited for that where it's like Tennis, Okay, we've
we've been there, done that before. I get it. It
probably sells well. Sluggers that or sorry, Strikers, that was
our big moment at least now. I don't think we
were found about the online. But we had great fun
with the golf and like with it last year and everything,
So Strikers I'm happy with. If they were to say, hey,
we're doing a third Strikers, then great, but I'm not
like dying for because it still works very well on
the switch right now right or switch to obviously, like
he doesn't feel like it's anywhere near an old game
where we're like, okay, I'm it's by the time. Even
the original Striker still plays pretty well, right. So they
do a good job with these sports games. And that's
why with Tennis, I was surprised they went to another
one so soon. So yeah, I'm pitching Sluggers That's what
I'm going with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it feels like it feels like Tennis and
golf are the two the two sports Mario sports games
that get released every single console at this point, Like
I think they both had one of the three DS.
Both had one on the Switch one. I don't know
if they had one of the w U, but I
feel like, you know, Nintendo pulled the cord on that
one pretty quick going back to the week, going back
to the game Cube, like they just kind of always
feature them there, even on like the handheld consoles as well,
and then the other ones are a lot more eclectic.
But yeah, it's like it was. The Wii was the
last one for the Sluggers, right, So it's been a
long time and I don't even think it's been featuring
like the Sports Mix games or the or the three
DS like Sports Pack. I don't even know what those
games are called. But yeah, it feels like what's going
on here? That one feels like it should happen, especially because,
like you know, we got in Switch one, we had
Nintend to Switch Sports, but that didn't have Baseball in it. It
had a few other games in the mix. Uh, So yeah,
it feels like it's been a while since we've had
like a Nintendo Baseball game in general. So I agree
with you. I think that would be maybe my next
request other than like getting some weird like off the
wall thing that we haven't had before. But I feel
like that would be the next one i'd like to see.
Speaker 2: Do you have an awful unless that's in your list,
do you have an awful like sports suggestion?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think hockey would be really cool. I
think it's like that's been in the Sports Mix game technically,
but I would love to see like a fully fledged
Mario hockey Like that would be super cool.
Speaker 2: One that'd be great. Okay, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1: Mario lacrosse. I don't know anything about lacrosse that could
be cool. I don't know, like just something fresh, something different,
you know, wait.
Speaker 2: For Mario wrestling. You know, that's what I'm waiting for.
Speaker 1: Give me, that's Smash pros.
Speaker 2: That's just Smashros. Yeah, you're right, so cool.
Speaker 1: I'll keep it in the Mario train of things here.
My next one is a series that started on the
WU and three ds, got a sequel on the Switch,
and I'm ready for the third game in the series,
and that is gonna be Mario Maker. And my pitch
here for the sequel is to go Mario Maker three D.
The three D Mario Maker game. Give us the tools
to create I'll say, like Mario sixty four size levels.
You know, like not doesn't have to be huge, but
just give us all sorts of different platforms. Ideally you
throw the ability to like make a Galaxy type level.
You get the base SIM sixty four type levels, and
then you know, ramp it up from there. At maybe
you could even throw the flood in there as people
could just implement a flood mechanic into their level if
they want, just some of the just iconic features from
the different games, even like adding like the cat suit
back that they had in like three D World, things
like that. But yeah, I don't know, Like I I
guess they could just do like another Mario another two
D Mario Maker put it on the switch too, But
I don't know if that would be as exciting anymore.
I feel like we've been there, done that, We've had
two games. You can still buy that one on your
switch to.
Speaker 2: I wonder if they would do like some sort of
I don't know how close was Mario Maker one not
in time, just like as far as a game Mario
Maker one and two, Like how close was it? I
was wondering if you just saw like a new kind
of bundle game that I'll just put it?
Speaker 1: Could I mean, I think there was features that were
removed from the first to the second that people are
always pissed about. I think one of the big things
with the second one is that I think you could
change like the uh, I think you had more options
in terms of like the visual style of it, like
which era of two D Mario were represented. So, yeah,
you're right, even if they did one like it could
implement all this stuff from Wonder because they added a
ton of stuff in Wonder with the wonderflowers and yeah,
other mechanics and Flowey and all these weird characters. So
there's definitely room they could do more stuff like that,
we just got that or we're just getting I forget
if it's already out the DLC add on for Mario Wonder,
So I wonder if that even kicks out, like getting
another two D Mario out down that like even further
down the road. Yeah, I know. It is also that
the timing on this might not be great in the
sense that it seems like we're kind of ready for
another just regular three D Mario as well. So would
they want to do the both of those so quickly
one after another? Maybe not. But I think within the
switch two is lifespan. I could see them doing both
of these. I think the switch to you know, obviously
a big part of this and the pushing of it
here is that the Switch two is a lot more
powerful than the Switch one was, and maybe that would
not work as well on a Switch one, but you
could push the power a little bit more, obviously seeing
what we could do with Donkey Kong and whatnot. But
then I actually do think that a Maker style game,
a creation tool, that kind of stuff that is massively
helped by having a mouse, uh just being able to
customize things, put things more precisely, move, move all sorts
of things around, and so I think that could be
a huge game changer for a Mario Mate, even if
it's just two D Mario Maker. Again, having mouse controls
is gonna help a lot. I mean, I'm sure you
can use like the joy content is pretty accurate with
its motion sensor, but I'm sure that could be even
better with the full on most controls. So I feel like,
to me, that seems like it would be a perfect recipe.
And you know, I think you know, people were wondering
after they did Mario Maker. I don't think we got
another two D Mario and then we got Mario Maker two.
A few years we didn't get another two D Mario,
but then they did drop Wonder. So it's not like they're, oh,
we made the Maker, we don't need to make our
own games anymore. They can still do a million unique things.
It can still be a new entry in the series,
have new features, and so I don't feel like there's
a fear from Nintendo to be like, if we make
a three D Mario Maker thing, like our people are
going to buy the next three D Mario. The answer
is yes, people will, and you'll probably still sell thirty
million copies or something crazy, right, they both would I
think the three D Mario like, because I you know,
by the time Mario Maker two came out, is like, eyeah,
I'm fine, Like I don't have my WIU anymore, Like
I don't know if I need this, but I would
definitely buy day one a three D Mario Maker, So
I would. I would love to see something like that.
Speaker 2: I would love to too. I'm I'm the type of
person that would purchase that game, but not to I
would create and dabble in a little bit, but I
would definitely be more so just to play what people
are working on, you know, especially too, because we talk
about that with Mario Maker, not the people that are
just making like the hell scape, like oh man, this
level it's so hard to be not that like the
people actually make that level that flows if like, oh,
this is great Mario level, right, So like when I
talked about a couple weeks ago dreams with the banjo
thing right where it's like, oh, this feels like a
banjo kazuoi game, That's what I would like. So I
hope I just wonder, Yeah, I wonder how complex they
would like to how complex they would make it and
go if they would actually do that, a lean to
where we would probably just get a super Mario Maker
three and that's just them putting together. I'm not saying
it's impossible. I don't see it in the horizon, but
I would love them to do and I think it
would be And I.
Speaker 1: Think, what do you think the likelihood is of just
like a two D Mario another a three D a
Mario Maker just with two D again, like do you
think we'll get one in this generation? Like guarantee or
is like yeah, they've kind of been there, done that,
and they'll come back and like maybe in the next
generation with like when they have a lot more they
could do with it.
Speaker 2: I guess it depends how long the switch to generation
goes on for right, That's been the biggest tough thing
with all these game consoles, between the Steam machine and
Xbox PlayStation. Switch is like Nintendo, like, when are we
when's the transfer happening? Right where? Obviously the switch just
switch shoes just came up last year, right, So, like
we just talked about so mm hmm, I think I'm
aout a sixty five percent don't of us getting one
of the two D in the in the switch?
Speaker 1: That number feels right to me intuitively something maybe it's near.
Speaker 2: The back half of the switch, you know, life cycle,
But yeah, I I could see because that's that is
one where. And don't get wrong, it's not like hard
Work's not putting that game. Of course, it's still a
video game, but it does feel like a buffer rough. Hey,
we don't have a three D one, we don't have
a two D platform or anything like that. Like, let's
put out a maker game. Let's let's get that going,
you know. So again, I'm surprised one's not out this year.
Because this is the second time in a row where
Mario movies come out and there's not a single just
Mario proper game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't even be paid attention. What is their
big marketing thing right now? For what are they selling
on the switch? I haven't been on the shopping a bit.
I wonder there must be something Mario that's stapled on
the top of right now. But I don't even know
what they're pushing. I don't know Mario cart World still,
but I wonder even on that switch one, like what
are they pushing on that right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, no, I don't know. I haven't been on
the shop, so I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your next one?
Speaker 2: My next one? Let's see they want to go? Okay,
when do I go? Because I know you have it?
You know, I know i'd have it. I mean, I'll
go here because it is a love one. But this
is when we couple percentages. I think it's a probably
below twenty percent that's actually happening. But you know it's
time dcon racing Mario Kart. Now here's the thing that's right,
This is the Wish Dreamless, right, that's wy I'd want
it I want some of those characters back, or I
would just love it if they did like a Mario
Kart World DLC and they just called it Diddycon Racing
and they brought a bunch of those masks, great vehicles, characters,
like a massive expand even know, if an expansion, we're like, hey,
you gotta pay thirty, like forty bucks for this, Like
I think that's more likely than a Diddycon Racing game
is Hey, we're gonna give you a bunch of you know, skins,
you know, quotations, something that, like things to make you
feel like it's that game, But we're not gonna go
sell that game because like diddy Con is not as
big as the characters down the ninety.
Speaker 1: I means Bonanza had the homage level. So it's certainly
top of mind for Nintendo right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's one of those two because didn't that
happen in Luigi's mentioned three where there's like a painting
of strikers, right and then later on they announced that,
So you never know, there's always a chance where it
isn't the back of their mind. But at the same time,
I could see them going, hey, like Mario's a racing game,
like we're not gonna do diddycon Racing, like to give
that whole he fo. I guess maybe it's something that
if you're ask me same thing like Mario Maker. Maybe
it come out near the end of this console, because
then we switched three. Let's just say they could do that.
That's when the next Mario Kart would come, right maybe
and it's like, okay, we'll give you this as like
a little buffer racing game. So I don't think this
is very likely this is an N sixty four game.
It's not like we even got a GameCube sequel. I
don't even know if like what a review was, because
there's even one game that was looking at today where
even read at lots of people are trash and I'm like, man,
I loved this game, like the stuff you grow up with,
you don't even know, right, So I don't even know
back in the day when you were a critic an adult,
when you bought diddycon Racing, where you're just like, oh,
this is like a discount Mario Kart. But even that
it's so funny, like look at Mario Kart World, they
had that free roam. Didcon Racing have that back in
the sixty four are of you free roaming around the
maps and everything, right, So that's what I would love,
or that's why I'd just say it pitches at least
a DLC for that. Yeah, that's definitely one we talked
about again on Patreon go back and listen to the originals.
We told a flashbackupsode where we talked about our third
episode weever recorded. There's a big diddycon Racing inside joke
me and Dalan had for a little bit, we'll spoil
that's you cold checkle that eups. So it was fun
and to see what we regretted maybe talking about that
and how it didn't work. It was our fetch, but
still I stand by it. So yeah, dcon Racing, that
would be a that would be hype, not Striker's level hype,
but it would be just under below that because there's
a special place in my heart. I I'm one of
those weird kids that I did play more dcon Racing
than sixty four, like Mariocart sixty four.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean the last time we had a
didcon racing game was on the first Nintendo console that
had three D capability, right, so you know, even if
it wasn't a great game, or even if we have
rose tinted goggles on it a little bit, it's like, yeah, well,
that was the first console that had three D movement
or anything, three D cameras, all that stuff, Like the
tech was so fresh and new then, so it come
so far. I mean, it's the same same thing with
Donkey Kong sixty four right now, like at Bonanza, which
is an amazing game that people loved and reviewed really
well and by all accounts is unique and interesting and
not just the same old thing and something fresh and different.
So I feel like they could definitely do that. I
mean I had on my list. I wrote that down.
I also wrote F zero just like I want another
racing game. I do feel like it's gonna be at
least a couple of years before we get anything, because
we just in the launcher obviously had Mario Kart World,
and then we had Kirby Air Riders. Air Riders admittedly
is a very weird, different kind of racing game, but
still like their launch, you already had like two first
party racing game, big budget racing games in it. So
I think we might not get anything in the near future.
The next couple of years, but I do think there's
a chance we do get an V zero this generation.
Didycon Racing feels, as you mentioned, less than twenty percent chance.
I would agree with that that assessment, but I would
love to see it. Hey, who knows. Maybe John Compananza
it was a big success. It's putting Donkey Kong, you know,
face the console again. Maybe that's for the time for
Diddy Kong to swoop in and and make make it happen.
Maybe maybe the name is big enough again and you
know the movie for that, right, it's gonna happen. So
maybe maybe.
Speaker 2: Don't buy Button Hands of two by Diddy Kon Racing.
Speaker 1: You know, what do you think of did Kong Racing two?
Like I almost feel like they would rebrand it and
make it like Donkey Kong and did Dy Kong Racing
or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or literally just called Donkey Kong Racing like which.
Speaker 1: Right was the canceled GameCube game, right that was the
plan originally was to make that a sequel.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like, I think they would do that, and
then it's a spirit I guess you could.
Speaker 1: And they would make it more like characters you recognize
and not like the weirdos that were in diddycong Racing.
We're like, who are these people?
Speaker 2: What would you put on the percentage of what I
pitched of a big Mario Kart World expansion.
Speaker 1: I think my assessment of Mario Kart World DLC is
that I don't we might not get it for like
four or five years. That's crazy because that's pretty much like,
that's kind of what they did with Mario Kart eight.
Like they they they they I guess they had that
one DLC in the WEU generation, but then it was
like years and years and years down the road that
they're like, oh, the Booster Pass and all these courses, yeah,
and kept that game, give it, gave it that longevity.
So we might not get DLC for that game for
a while. I do think that with the way that
Open World is set up right, you can't just make
new courses and slap them nowhere, because the whole premise
of the games that everything is attached. And so I
do think when, when, or if or whatever that we
do get DLCs for that game, it will be in
the form of we're dropping an island here and it's
got four. Maybe maybe they'll do eight or something like
I don't know, you know, four or eight new courses
on this island, and so it's kind of this other
sanctioned off world. And that's where I could see that
being like Donkey Kong Island, dk Isle, Diddy Kong Land, whatever,
and you get like a bunch of theme courses around that,
you get a bunch of more Donkey Kong characters in
that one DLC and I could see them doing that
for like a high Rule Little High Rull Island whatever.
So I definitely think that's how the DLC for that
game will happen, but I don't think it's going to
be any time soon, would be my assessment.
Speaker 2: And probably not didon you know, be great, but probably not.
Speaker 1: But maybe there's some weird right because he's not in
the game, right, did Hey Kong at all? He's not
in the base game, But I could see him being
a DLC character. He was a DLC character for eight,
so there's precedent for that. He was a DLC character. Strikers,
he's he's he'd be dlcing it up. He should be
base game, but at least he makes it in there
some some way or another. I think he's based game
in tennis, the new Mario Tennis that just came out.
I think, yeah, so good for him, good for him. Yeah,
my next one, where am I gonna go next? I'm
gonna go for one that Uh yeah, I'm gonna go
for I'm gonna go for Pickman five. I feel like
Pickman four was it took like ten years or whatever
for that game to come out or something crazy like that,
and it finally didn't come out and people loved it.
It's uh, it's sold the best in the series, which
is true for many many games that came out on
the Switch era. I actually haven't Pickman four. I haven't
booted it up yet. I got it just recently and
I'm planning to download it, boot it up, and play
it when I'm on my my trip to the Yukon
in May. That's gonna be my my airplane airport game,
so I'm very excited for that. But I am kind
of saving it for that for that trip. But yeah,
I feel like I would love if we got to
a point where Pickman was just a series that is
getting an entry every console. I picked up the one
and two re release that they had on the Switch right,
and yeah, really really I love the first one. The
second one didn't quite wow me as much. But I
really like that series. It's very unique, it's very different,
even just visually gameplay wise, all that kind of stuff.
I feel like it is a very fresh thing for Nintendo.
They just released that random, like animated short film essentially
for Pickman that was like, really, like, this is a
trailer for a new game, and it was like, no,
this is just an animation for fun essentially, but it
shows me that they are interested in keeping the Pickman
ip alive.
Speaker 2: So and it's confirmed a Pickman is in Mario movie.
At least they did a whole They did a teaser
and they showed a bunch of characters. It's like a
flash of like a bunch of characters and they show
a Pickman.
Speaker 1: I did not see that, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: They could also obviously just be some character in the
background not even have a role, because they were showing
like a bunch of chang chomp everybody. But there is
a picture of Yeah. Last week, we I mean, the
girls watch a breakdown of like, oh, here's all the
eighty three characters and lots of galaxy like Olvios because
it's moral galaxy. But honestly, like tons of there's multiple
boss battles from the Galaxy games that are in there.
But yeah, the PI and are they're in there. So
we got Robin there, we got Pickman there. They're definitely
starting to lay the groundworking.
Speaker 1: And a lot of that I see it here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like Rob and him or them like we're
gonna We're in some Nintendo classics in there. So I
like that, we're you know, get that roster going. So
for Smash Bros. We can we can get that pop
and so. But yeah, I think you're I think you're
hund percent right, this kind of blind spot. I think
I played the GameCube one I remember rented from Block
but so they enjoyed it. I should go back at
some point.
Speaker 1: Is a really really good game? I got it was
it was super super good.
Speaker 2: Was the was one the one on the game okay?
Speaker 1: N three was on the I guess, so the it
was We You and then it got like the switch version,
I guess. Okay, so the whole series is available on Switch,
which is great. The entire catalog is there, Okay.
Speaker 2: The one I remember playing was the cover was like
like rock Mountain and it's like the ship and it's
like the Pickman walking to the ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah one or two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I think this is a I think
this is long. This is like a I'll say, I
think it's like one hundred percent. I really do. I
think between like this from the Switch era, like Swisshoo era.
I think you're you're good to go on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would like to see the series get
to that point. And then I also do think that
one I mean it being a pretty much like a
Nintendo's RTS series right again, most controls could work really
well with that in terms of like more fine control
of your your legion of Pickman and all that kind
of fun stuff. So I actually do think it could
work really well. I mean, they would want to make
it just like Twin Stick as well, but it could definitely.
I could see that having a most control feature in
that making the gameplay even better because you can just
more finally control a bunch of things at the same time.
So yeah, I think that would fit perfectly on this
this console.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, no, I agree. Okay, so my third one,
you know what I think you're talking about timely stuff
with Donkey Kong and everything like that. Well. One thing
we keep seeing in these Mario trailers is Baby Mario. Baby,
it's signed for a proper Yoshi Island sequel or a
full on like remake remaster, because I know there's Yoshi's
story and Yosha's wooly world, but like I'm talking about
the nests where it's like yacht, Baby, Mario on your back,
you get hit, baby Mario's crying. I think that's where
you could do some with the mouse when Baby.
Speaker 1: I'm just just checking. Do you remember that Mario and
the Mysterious or Yoshi in the Mysterious Book is a
game that's coming out in the near future. Yeah, but
I we have multiple that is different. It's what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we have multiple Marigans. And my thing is like,
it looks like there's a whole segment in that film
where it is doing the Yoshi Island thing where it's Yoshi.
So that's where I feel Yoshi comes out the movie happens.
People are love Yoshi. Hey, how can we capitalize what's
another thing we can do? Well? People really love the
movie obviously, and then we have a game back in
the day that was all like people of that segment
of the babies and now especially too, like baby Mario
on his back was like a little small pixel a
thing now right or back then? Now you make a
three D gorgeous cue to ever sell merch like yeah,
and for me, I was a big Yoshi Island guy.
I love the esthetic, I love the art style, I
love the world, love seeing the Yo different Yoshi's. I
love the enemy types of like that one big blue
guy that had the hair on them. Like I. It
reminds me a lot of what we talked about didcon racing,
where it feels like it's this slice of Nintendo or
Mario or like for that case, Donkey Kong, but for
this was a slice of Mario that you don't see
too often. It really felt like Yoshi Island was a
bunch of different characters because you easily could have just said, Okay,
let's do similar maps and enemies of the Mario games.
But it's Yoshi, right, that's the nostalagia. But no, let's
do a full on what is what are some of
these areas that these dinosaurs are around? And yeah, my
pitch for the mouse would be something that when Mario
gets hit and he's in that bubble maybe to reach them,
grab them, whatever it may be, that's what you could do.
But yeah, we've never really got like a proper, proper
If we got a Yoshi Island too, I don't think
it was anything. I think there's maybe one like on
the game Boy or something like that, but I'm talking
about it. And even if they did say, hey, we're
just gonna remake like Yoshi's Island, then sure do that,
but you'd add some Austin new esthetics and new control.
So I'm waiting. I love it that that sound of
Mario crying has burned in my brain and that's just
like great anxiety driven of you know, I think people
can latch on. That's yeah, Yoshi's Island. That's what I'm pitching.
I actually think I'm like a like a a fifty
five forty five minutes of it actually happened. I just
feel like they're gonna want to capitalize on Yoshi even more,
and they've shown that they have. They're not like Sony
an Xbox, but they have or remade some games before, right,
so they're not allergic to it. So that's I think
maybe when they start getting a bunch of money from Yosha. Okay,
what else can we do with this green guy in
Yoshi's Island sitting right there, you know, baby Mario Luigi
sitting right there. They're in cart keep going, keep going.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Yeah. I like that. I like that. That's
I feel like I haven't heard that exact pitch before,
so I'm into that. I like that one a lot.
Let's see, let me jump into my third one here,
and I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with the
Advanced Wars, which is a series that you know, it's
a strategy tactics series that dates all the way back
to the nes. It was called the uh, it was
called like any s I'm trying to think what The
first one was called SNE S Wars, n E s Wars.
Originally they were just named after the console they were on.
And then with the Advance, with the Game Boy Advance
and they're getting like two or three Advanced Wars games,
then the series kind of just took on the name
Advance Wars. Then they just stuck with that, so even
when it was like later consoles and stuff, they just
called them that.
Speaker 2: The first one was technically fam Con Wars Great Fama
com Wars family Japanese name, and then game Boy Wars
and then yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: And then they switched up from the GameCube. There was
one it was kind of different. It was called Battalion Wars.
So's it's a weird series. Yeah. And then in the
and then recently in the Switch era we got Advanced
Wars one plus two reboot camp, so it was kind
of like a remake essentially the first two games bundled together,
which was really good, and I've been I still boot
that up. Everyone's do a couple of us because it's
a lot of game because it's two tactics games in one,
and so I think what I want to see here
is like, well, hopefully, I guess they oftentimes they do
those reboot rebake things to gauge what the sales are like,
see what their interests like is in the series, and
then go from there. I don't know how well it did,
but it was really well done. I thought it was.
It was really fun. We've seen a lot of there's
so many games that are like made in homage to that,
so there is still a lot of there's still a
big audience for games like that, and so I kind
of want to see a fresh take on this. And
you know, part of this for me is FIREMBLM is
like a pretty big series now for Nintendo and every
console we're going to get a new Fire Emblem game,
and that's great and I'm liking that. But I do
think that Fire Emblem is changing from what it was
back in the day, and it's to me focusing less
on some of the tactics strategy mechanics and focusing more
on story and characters and the kind of flip flop
depending on which game it is in the series. But
I do feel like now with Fire Emblem moving to
one side of that spectrum, there has opened up space
on the other side for more of the tactics heavy,
strategy heavy gameplay, and I I do think that's where
Advanced Wars could slot right in there nicely. I don't know.
I do feel like I also want this game to
be perhaps a bit of an evolution. I think the
Advanced Wars name is good. You could stick with that,
but they could go back to that OG style and
call it Switch Wars or something if they want, and
go right into that. And I feel like that maybe
it should be a element here where like, you know,
you're in the overworld, you're controlling your troops, but maybe
rather than it just like simulating the battle between them,
maybe the evolution here could be that almost like you know,
this happens in Kirkland's favorite Total war Warhammer, right, you
have like troops on the map in the overworld, but
then when they like touch each other, and then you
like zoom into like an actual battle view and you
can do these individual fights. And I feel like maybe
that's the evolution for Advanced Wars, or my rather my
pitch for switch Wars, where not only are you doing
the tactics, but it's not just like, oh, this guy
has eight pegs of damage and this guy's five pegs
of damage and knocks him down to three. Maybe now
you actually zoom into the battles, or you can choose
to and have like these little battles going on there too. Again,
with the most controls, I feel like, you know, especially
in one plus two reboot camp, you could make maps,
create levels, share them online, which is really cool, and
so I feel like something like that, you know, having
a the community allowed to create levels with a mouse
feature is a nice thing as added on as well,
So Yeah, I really like this this series. I've been
jumping more into it recently, and I hope it continues
to exist. I'd love if it got a sequel here
in some way and kind of is revitalized and you
want I would love this. It's one and people have
always wanted Unadvanced Wars rep in Smash, and I don't
know if, like I guess, I think it could happen
that there's like a cist trophies and stuff for it
in the game. Yeah, but I would love to see
an Advanced Wars game on the Switch to and then
you get Andy, who's like the protagonist of the series
or someone else, throw them in there and smashes a
playable character could be really fun as well. So i'd
like to see a little one two punch. I don't
have Switch. I don't have Smash on my list. By
the way, of course, that's a sequel. It's gonna happen.
I want it, But that that's a podcast for another day.
We're gonna do a full probably multiple episodes on just
what the next Smash is going to be. But yeah,
I would love to see Advance Wars.
Speaker 2: No, I I agree. I don't Smash there either, and no,
I was looking into it. The games that they did
actually in nineteen o nine announce a sixty four Wars,
which just for the title would have been great, But
the problem was it got canceled there. It was showed
at a showcase, and this is like lost media, so
there's like two to three minutes. There's other videos too
on red and stuff of what it was looking like,
but just that name sixty four Wars, Like, oh, this stalls.
I don't even play the series, but that that hit me,
like sixty four Wars. But yeah, this is like I
guess some of the stuff they ripped from that showcase.
But then yeah, they eventually canceled it. They'd I guess
say it was supposed I think it was supposed to
come out November.
Speaker 1: I mean, this does not look like an n sixty
four game, so that makes sense. Maybe it just didn't
fit into the kind of vibes they were It doesn't
fit into like them selling like the third dimension for
video games.
Speaker 2: Like that, that sixty four War.
Speaker 1: They have it on the title screen, but that's the
only place where there's any three D element.
Speaker 2: That's all. Yeah, So I know it was funny. It
was come out November nineteen nine nine, and then they
delayed it and then they just canceled it. But yeah,
so that's uh, that's what happened to sixty four Wars.
So it's out there though there's lost me so fine. Yeah,
that'd be.
Speaker 1: The Wars would not have been a good name, though,
glad they I'm glad they didn't do that. GameCube boards
would have been a great name. I don't know why
they called the Battalion Wars.
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, much worse. Yeah. Okay, so this one, I
don't think it's I think it will be obvious once
I say it, but not obvious to everybody because we
have talked about this game review before, we have done
a review for it. Because just like I mentioned before,
Nintendo not afraid to do remakes. I'm pitching on my
RPG two.
Speaker 1: Nice. I'm glad you have this. I had it on
my list, but I didn't fully have it realized. So
I'm glad you're bringing it to life.
Speaker 2: It's tough something that I think there is something you
could do with the mouse. I think it'd be very
simple though, like almost like what we've talked about, like
the other one so far, like nothing revolutionary, So this
one was more I think actually for my number one
is like a dream game, but I have like an
actual what you can do at the mouse this one,
they can figure that out. I just I don't know
how it's sold. I think we toub before sold like
decent to like softly. I don't think it like blew
the world off any things. So again, it's kind of
like we're talking about before with Diddy Khon and Yoshi's Island.
It's a slice of the Nintendo world that we've talked about.
Some of those weird characters I've never popped up in
Kart and Smash anywhere. And again I had tons of
nostallergs grown up for it, so then when they remade it,
I absolutely love playing that. I've actually that's been another
game too that I've been recently been wanting to tinker
and go back and play again. I've been very close.
I do want to finish Allen Wake too, so I
might not, but it's also a game that I could
pick up and go, so I'm very close to boot
that up. But I think that was great. Where Okay,
we're gonna take the old game and give it the
new look, new look, new feel, but kind of the
same trick. Right, You're gonna have your character, similar story,
similar powers. It's just gonna play better and you can
actually boot this up on a switch and not be
kind of a you know, graphical disaster and everything. I
would love it now to take that team. Now you're
gonna take that engine, take some of those ideas, but
you know, I'm sure they change some things, but you're
not beholden to what RPG was. I still want in
that name, but now go do your own thing, and again,
do your own thing in a weird way. I don't
want to have to be, oh, you're gonna tie into
this story and that story, some mainline thing like no, no, no,
do whatever you were like they were doing back then.
And that's what I loved, And that's why that game
stuck out. Not only was it like one of the
first RPGs I ever played, it just stuck out because
it felt and probably again like Yoshi's Island. It just
felt so different than all the other Nintendo stuff I had,
like aesthetically, story wise, offse gameplay style, it just felt
so different and so unique and so new. So I
would love them to give it another crack and this
time be like, hey, you're gonna You're gonna do your
own thing. So maybe not some of those all those
characters and those games came back, but you know, obviously
Maria Luigi bowser to. Sure, you can have them, but
do something that will stand out. And even then, whether
it is a new game, feature, something new with an engine,
like something where it's like, okay, we're gonna do my
RPG was just about kind of you know, getting feeble
to fall back in love with that game and giving
you a fresh coat of paint. Now create a don't
give a fresh code paint, like create a whole new
store with it. You know. So that's why I very
much love I think this is like like a thirty
percent chances happened something like that, because I think we
looked at was like, I don't think it was a disaster.
May I look into it, but I just, uh, I
think it is for maybe like a niche group of people,
but I would you know, they make other games that
are like, yeah.
Speaker 1: The Mario and Luigi series, They have the Paper Mario series,
which are the RPG which are Mario RPG games. But
you're right, there is something. There is something left behind
from this, uh, this game, this one specific game that
is not tackled with those other two series, so I
feel like there is room for it to thrive and
be different. And yeah, I mean when I played it
for the first time with the remake, I just loved
how weird it was. And I love that it was
like a short RPG. I love that it was challenging
at times but not too overwhelming. I just love the weird,
different environments you're in, the strange characters. So yeah, I
would love to see this get a fresh game. That
would be super cool.
Speaker 2: So for the Switch Era, it was the forty fifth
biggest game of the Switch Era, and as of March
thirty first two other for it sold three point three
million copies.
Speaker 1: So again, right, but I don't think Nintendo reports digital sales,
so that's just physical. So yeah, you know, probably double
that at whatever.
Speaker 2: It is tough though, right when you look at these
like Mario Kart seventy and I'm crossing forty nine, like
you get it's like what we talk about with tennis
and what was the other golf, right, they just they
just sell those numbers, right, So it's like I guaranteed,
like why we spend more money, just get three million
where we do another Mario party? Right? Even Spartoon three
almost twelve million, you know, so it's tough, but that's
why I would hope, baby, and who knows they haven't.
Can you just outright by that on the switch Mario?
Because of the switch game, I mectualed you just buy
on the switch now, right, or do they have to
make on the switch to version?
Speaker 1: Okay, so the list of games that you don't work
on the switch to from the switch one is very small,
and I don't think it's any of the first party games.
I think it's all weird weird side stuff or like
we uh ring fit adventure things that have like peripherals
and things like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, no, definitely. The last to here are
the dream picks of the If Travis had Nintano sits
me down and say, hey, what would you want us
to make Carte blancheble? You're gonna do whatever you want.
This This is more than like the Diddy Coon Race warts. Okay,
I still got a good racing game that's just like Massage, right,
same thing, Yoshi Island. I could still play that on
like the switch whatever emulator thing this though. I would
love a fall up and my first one will do
that as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, cool, I love that pitch. Let's take our
last ad break and we'll be right back. Okay, we
are back. I have two Well, I have a list here,
but I'll do two more that I'll focus on here.
One I don't know if you're gonna have it on
your list. Well, see if this comes up, i'll see.
I'll say what you do first before I make my decision.
But one I'm gonna shout out here is definitely Kirby
and the Forgotten Land, which was kind of a I mean,
Kirby has done three D before. There was, of course
Kirby and the Crystal Shards or whatever on the sixty four,
but that was still more of a two D game.
I just had like three D graphics to it. There's
been other three D games. Of course, Air is a
three D game. It was back on the GameCube as well,
but in terms of it just like a three platformer.
Kirby in the Forgotten Land was very fresh for the series.
For me, it's probably the best Kirby game, and I've
played a good amount of them. It introduced the mouthful mode,
which is actually really fun and adds a lot of
dynamic it's very silly, adds something fresh and new. That
game is great. It was a super duper fun game.
I really loved it. There's so much to it, so
much to unlock as well. It had co op in there,
which was a really fun time to play through all
of that. And I just hope that we get more
Kirby games like this, more three D platformers, level based stuff.
And yeah, so I really hope we get a sequel
to this game, whether it is just Curby in the
Forgotten Land two or if they just changed it up
and it's Kirby in the Blank and it's just the
next three D game that's kind of following as like
a direct sequel to that one. I want to see it.
Of course, we did get when the Switch to I
guess last summer, like just after the Switch two came out.
We did get like a DLC for this game that
came out with like the Switch to addition, and it
added like a new realm which I didn't pick up
that DLC actually, But so I don't know if that's
a sign that like, Okay, well we're kind of getting
where they're double dipping that way and they're not really
interested in making another one right now. I'm not sure.
I feel like maybe you could wait two or three
years or something like that. I don't know which team
at Nintendo worked on this, but you know, when you
look at something like Princess Peach Showtime, which was like, yeah,
it seemed like it was a fine game, but nothing special,
this was like Nintendo taking a swing with one of
their franchises and nailing it, And so I really want
them to continue doing that, and Kirby deserves it. And
I'm Kirby's already had a strong start to the console
with Kirby air Riders, which is a really fun, weird,
strange game. So yeah, I would love to see a
Forgotten Land sequel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think you're I think it's like
a I'll give you like a sixty forty on happening.
I think I think Kirby just I feel like what
titles come and go? I never have a good gauge
on so it just feels like, oh, you remember this game.
Speaker 1: So many games it's it's crazy, but yeah, not all
of them have love and care like this one actually did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, oh that was your official number two, because
you said at a fewst isn't sure what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll rifle off some mentions at the end here,
all right.
Speaker 2: My number one is this is a game I've talked
about many times. I have a lot of love for
this game. It is literally not one of a kind
of fart as far as the game, the type of
game it is, but it is for this character in
this franchise. Still might know where I'm going, but this
is a guy. He needs some TLC. He needs some revival.
And honestly, the last time of the game came out,
big kerfuffle, big Wolf. You can't just go back to basics, right, Nankiah,
we'll do another game like that. Now you gotta do
something new, just like they did in the game get
just like they did. Oh damn, I close the tab.
I meant to get the year. Hang on, I'll get
the year. When was it? It was just like they
did in two thousand and two September twenty Third Star
Adventures too or continues or begins again, whatever you want
to call it. For me, I was, which is so
funny because in the Red I saw a lot of
people being like, oh, why people consider it's a bad
Star Fucks game or why is that then Medacret eighty two.
You know, I'm like, you know, I feel justified again.
There's some haters out there for me, this was one.
It's probably yeah, I think it's for my uh my
game cube games and Smash Luigi's mentioned this for my
top three, like my Mount I don't know. I'd have
to think what my Mount Rushmore fourth would be on there. Yeah,
that'd be that'd be a good brand by one or
Mount Rushmore of certain consoles. You know, if we only
pick the four games, yeah, four games that's defined like
an Xbox three, sixty, this and that, because those three
I have locked. But if you're like, okay, what's your
Mount Rushmore, it's like, well, the fourth, I think I
gotta have some time their Sunshine. That's a good contender,
but I have to think about it. So but Starfucks Adventures, ma'am,
this hit at the perfect time. I was God, I
was nine when this game came out, but it is Yeah,
you're using kind of like a or arena of time
sort of basis as far as it's a dungeon crawler
but with Star Fucks. But It was one of those things.
I just seeing the chain and be like star Fox
is gonna get it out of a ship and it's
it's so funny, Like the game feels a little bit
like Avatar with the nobby and the people and everything
like that. But I love this game. And I know
a lot of people didn't like I think his name
is Tricky or whatever. There was like a rhinos Rhinoces,
this sort of dinosaur guy that people hated, but I
loved it getting he actually use star Fox's gun mostly
he does use it and you're mostly using swords. But
it's great where star Fox crashes and it's like, okay,
he doesn't have his he loses gun. Like I said, eventually,
I think you get it back, but he has all's
gadgets gone this and is that, and you have to
like build your way back up and get all the things.
It was great to see star fucks in this world.
And I love because like OsO got Maral Galaxy. But
if you think about Metroid was a different type of space.
You know, there's like kind of like a horse space light.
Mario was very you know, greens blues. Uh. I'm trying
to think about Donkey Kong with that had its aesthetic
kind of having this like little kind of like what
Zelda would be, but in space and with different like
with Dinosaur Wars with lasers. There's something really cool about that.
And that's where I go okay with how that would
be my pitch. If I'm in the room of the
last Star Fux came out just a thud, right, and
I feel like you need something new. I just don't
know if you can just come back, like maybe you
can come back and it's just it's star Fauks and
you're on the funck what do they call that? When
the base of the game, when you're just going forward
is the rail, right, I think the gaming genre, Yeah, Like,
I just don't know if you can come out with
that and just oh, we've made a great version of
it has to be like a great version.
Speaker 1: Like indie dev's can do cool stuff with that these days.
But yeah, I don't think. I don't think that's happening
in like the Triple A space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's why my pitch is And what I'd
say with the mouse is what you would do as
many times in the Star Fucks Adventure though you'd either
via flashbacks or there's other characters and ships you would
play in betweens if you still on the ship doing
some of those missions. That's what I'd say is Okay,
we're gonna have we're gonna make the best on the
rail star fucks ever, but they're still only gonna be
like in between. I'm almost pitching like what we just
got with Resnai and Dylan, where it's like maybe not half,
but maybe like forty percent of that game is on
the rails, and it's some great stuff and that's where
he used the mouse to control the ship to stuff,
but majority of it is still the seventy percent is
still star fucks or whoever, and maybe make it like
a and this, yeah, here's I got the story to Dylan.
I hate these type of things, but you know what,
make it an origin of star fucks. Make it it's
like he's a rookie his first time out. Maybe he
makes a mistake while he's flying, he gets shot down
and him having to get back up to the air
and he's built and the ship, oh I got it down,
I got it. The ship parts have scattered all throughout
this planet. He has to go and get them to
rebuild a ship. Come on, Nintendo, I'll write this movie.
Please give me. Just give me my year's salary or
write this movie. Like I feel like there's an easy
pattern that would be a great way where it's like, Okay,
you get a little bit of both of the Ship
action and the Starfucks Ventures, and you can, like they're
doing with Donkey Kong, reintroduce this character and kind of
make him cool, because I feel like with Metroid that
kind of show where that game similar has I feel
like the old games, but didn't feel like it was
new enough. And we've talked about before where there's no buzz.
We talked about a couple weeks ago in the discard.
I think it was Mike as like is that game
out or like that's the thing where just for the
game that we waited for so long was nothing so
just because and even then that reviewed relatively well, even
to make a good to great Star Fucks game, I
don't think that's what you need. You need your Donkey
Kong Bananza, you need your you know, the classic God
of War. And that's where I think Star Fox Adventures is. Okay,
we've done this before, but only once as a fresh
code paid for the Star Fox character. We don't got
really anything going on with space right now, like galax
is dead. So and that is my full on dream one.
Like I love that game. It's a little it's a
little clunky, so like when I've played it again before,
it's like, oh, this could be great if you had
a refresh on it. Maybe they do just do a remake. Sure,
but that's a game too that everyone's while I think about,
like booting up, I'm waiting for them to throw it
on the store.
Speaker 1: Yeah did they was it assault or was there just
no game? I forget if they announced one of them
is coming to the I think.
Speaker 2: Salt sounds familiar, but yeah, not Adventures, which is the
one I want.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, and I've never played that game. That's a
speaking of a top of we are maybe gonna do
today White Whale game for me, I really really want
to play that game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's my pitch. I would love it, as
you heard, I like, and that was just on the spot,
think about what people, hopefully smart me could come up
with it. But like, I think you do some great
stuff with Star Fox Adventures. So that's my most want.
Like Nintendo game now we got it was always Strikers
in the Mansion two once we got those star Fuckers adventures. Man,
you know, mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that pick. And you know, let me
kind of maybe match you with one that's that's kind
of been in obscurity for a while. I'm gonna go
with a series that I've not played a whole lot of,
but I think now it would be a good time
for it to come back, and the fans definitely want this,
although there may be like a smaller niche, but I'm
gonna I'm asking for a new Golden Sun game, Travis,
Do you know much about Golden Sun?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Golden Sun is a series that started on the Game
Boy Advance and then it got two games or and
then actually I think I got a third game on
the DS, but essentially there was two games on the
Game Boy Advance. It's pretty much one game, but from
what I understand, the game was like two big, so
they pretty much had to split it and like put
it on two separate cartridges, so they like split the
like that the first game ends with like no ending whatsoever,
because it's literally just like the middle of the game
pretty much, they had to like chop it out, so yeah,
there's the two games there, and then I think there's
one on DS, but from what I understand, we don't
talk about the one on the DS, okay, and that
one was not good and we just kind of ignore it.
But yeah, it's like a classic kind of JRPG, very
final fantasy in terms of you got like a four
man party, yet your pick, do you attack, do you
use your item, or do you flee? You know, it's
very classic turn based kind of combat system, very colorful
art style, very bright and cheery, all the vibes, the
vibes that the story is pretty dark and intense at times,
and yeah, check it out. And then and then there's
a you know, Isaac, who's like the Protectonist of the game,
has been a and the Sist trophy and Smash since
like the Wei era. I think, so he's got like
a three D model from that, but never from like
an actual game himself. And people he's always been like
a highly requested character people avoid, like I feel like
it's a little more niche, but like people always want
Geno from Mario RPG, people always want Isaac. Some people
always want some of these characters added into Smash. I
could see them doing that without even a new game.
The series did get both those games put on the
Game Boy Advance Library on the Switch Online Future, so
they have been brought a little bit more into the
limelight again. But I don't know. I don't know what
it is about this series. And I played the first
game a couple of years ago, and I actually didn't
really like it that much, to be honest, it was
not my cup of tea. But there is a lot
of nuggets in there that I do really like. I
like the powers, I really I like the art style
a lot. I liked the world. It was just some
of the design and things like that helped me back.
And it's a pretty clunky game, pretty sluggish, which a
lot of you know, going back to old grpgs, that
is often the case. Just traveling around the map can
be quite slow. But had very iconic boss bits, had
fun characters. The story was extremely dark, honestly, which kind
of surprised me. But to me, I feel like it
it could maybe fit into an RPG niche that is
not quite catered to, where you have your paper Marios,
your Maria Luigi's, which are quite kiddy, I would say,
or then you have your like Xeno Blade chronicles, which
are very intense and they're like one hundred hour long games.
But I feel like Golden Sun for me is like
this is like a twenty to maybe thirty hour RPG.
You obviously go full three D for this. Here you're
exploring a world, You're introducing some of these characters, probably
the same characters Isaac and Crewe and bringing them back,
but you obviously do a bunch of new stuff in there.
And I just feel like there is maybe a space
where they could play with something here and and and
you know almost like take some of the like the
powers that you have in Zelda, like the Breath of
the Wild and here's the Kingdom. Those feel like what
the powers were like in Goldens in Golden Sun back
in the day, but that were like on a you know,
two D top down perspective and like way more limited
in terms of like you can you have a big
hand that you can push things on a grid. But
it's like now you would just do that in a
three D space and it'd be very fun and free
farm and movement and all that sort of stuff. So
I feel like it could take a lot of cues
from my Breath of Wild, but like would be a
bit more smaller scale, but be more focused on the
RPG mechanics, more focused on the story, a little bit
more linear, not a huge, full open world like that.
And so I feel like there is room for this
and maybe it's time for Golden Sun to come back.
I feel like this one in terms of the likelihood
very very low. Is it a pipe dream? And I'm
not even like a huge fan of the series. I
just you know, I think I think it is cool,
think it is unique. So I would like to see
Golden Sun kind of come back into the limelight once more.
Feels like maybe maybe it's the time for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be fun. It's it's interesting too because like
you were talking about people requesting for Smash and even
the Assist trophy. What and you might know this more
than me, is what other just purely game boyd answer,
like just handheld games have that for Smash bros.
Speaker 1: Oh dude. There's so many deep cuts with the assist trophies,
is there?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, so then I'm not on that. It's
just it's funny where there's you.
Speaker 1: Got like the nintend Dogs or Assist Trophy, you got
like the brain age stuff going on there. I mean,
Advance Wars is in there as an assist trophy you have.
Speaker 2: At least that was but at least that was on
but that was on a console proper still though, right,
it is what I'm saying, like this has only been
it's never like been on like obviously now the switch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's only Game of Advance in DS.
Speaker 2: That yeah, before, but it's never like, oh there was
a console version of Golden Sun, you know, so yeah,
I wonder I agree with you where it's probably the
chance of the likeliness is very low because you could
almost argue like, oh, well, we will put some of
that stuff in.
Speaker 1: A I believe he also does have a me costume
in Smash Ultimate.
Speaker 2: Actually oh really that's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think I have like a me of him,
so it's like it's close and he has a sword
fighters and he has like magic power, so you can
you can do it that way. So it's seem.
Speaker 2: Like enough to like it's still like enough of stuff
where it's like they're keep the they're not completely let
it die, right, And.
Speaker 1: He said it's one that even if it doesn't get
a new game, it was. It's not one that would
shock me if if Zachary put him in the next
Smash game as a playbook character, because he just fits
the mold for that kind of thing. They already have
the three D model. He's been in like the series
since the Wii. Technically, if you count Assays trophies, I
think it was what the Wii was the first time
he was in there. So yeah, I mean, it's it's
it would it would not shock me because they always
do a couple of weird deep cuts like that, and
this is like again, it has become relevant because they
just put it on the ten to switch online. So
it's not like some forgotten series that was only in
Japan and has like never been seen in western audience
or something like that. Like it is, it is known ish,
It's just you know, it hasn't had a new series
in probably twenty years at this point.
Speaker 2: And really if you look at it in a way,
right where so the last on the DS one which
you said apparently not to touch, But the reviews are
actually not too They're not too bad. Metacritic is seventy
nine percent. Like I'm seeing a B ten neurogame.
Speaker 1: What year was that?
Speaker 2: Was that like twenty ten.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's actually yeah, twenty ten.
Speaker 2: So that's what I was gonna bring.
Speaker 1: It's actually not that old. That's a S game in
twenty ten. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: That's my thing of like, okay, so if you're still
getting little small stuff in a smash game, right, this
is twenty ten, and then to the in twenty four,
it's okay, we're gonna put these games on the switch system.
It's like, okay, it's almost like every ten years with
some are updates. So it's like it's not out of
the realm of possibility because it's just trying.
Speaker 1: To It's like my recently like F zero getting like
a full fledged gap something.
Speaker 2: And that's what I was trying to think, like, Okay,
what are the in the last ten maybe fifteen years,
I'm saying more ten years from the podcast era, what
are like the new ips that Nintendo proper has tried
to do? Obviously the one one Wonderful one hundred and one,
remember that you're doing, great game, and then.
Speaker 1: Platoons is a huge one. They had Arms. I don't
know if we're going to get in Arms two on
the Switch to and that might be a one and
done series.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. But even like s Platoon of Arms, like
kind of not sports game, but have like a sports
type of focus to it, right, and then Wonderful one hundred.
Obviously that didn't go anywhere, So I just feel like
they haven't. I am kind of It's tough because these
I think all these companies right now, right in every
kind of entertainment facet, you're going with the stuff that's
trying true because you can spend most money but then
make the most money, right, So it's like, are you
gonna get some big triple A Nintendo goal? Probably not,
But at the same time, it would be nice, Like
I'm it would be nice for Nintendo come up like, hey,
this is a new IP and not like ah, a
new IP with Toad or like a new IP where
it's like this is a new character were doing. Even
if it was Golden Sun, that would still be like
I think I think I would count that as a
new because it's like even on the console, like for
a whole generation, you just introduced me once. So watch
the trailer, Like, Okay, I think I've seen images of
this game, but I feel like Nintendo and the lacking
of new stuff like that is a big deal. But
again money wise, money speaks, they'd rather just probably make
Mario Golf fifty eight, right, But I don't think it's impossible.
I think I'm like in like the negative twenty you're
not negative twice, sorry the twenty or under, But it's
not impossible with the like small little updates you've gone
over the years, So why not let's.
Speaker 1: I would I would say it's honestly more likely for
them to add Isaac as a fighter and smash than
to get a new game. Weird, Yeah, but what.
Speaker 2: If that what if that's the reverse and if you
Adam and then maybe that gets the talks of new
game going.
Speaker 1: You know, people could be that could have happened. Yeah, yeah,
Uh did you have any other honorable mentions that you
wanted to rifle off here?
Speaker 2: Uh? Punch out?
Speaker 1: I just know I wonder if you know, obviously the
Little maclove, I didn't know if that was.
Speaker 2: Coming around Little Mac. I think there's some stuff you
could do with the mouse. I think you could do
a whole revolution on that game. I think that that's
something where for some reason it's tough because you did arms.
So I don't think any time, but I think maybe
like another decade, so maybe maybe I'll say the end
of switch to I feel like what you could have
done with arms is you could have done something fun
with a punch out like that using those characters. It's
tough because boxing is not as big as it used
to be. So back in the day it was Mike
Tyson's punch out, right, and they sold a lot on him.
There's no like puncher or fighter or boxer that I
would say like you could market it with nowadays to
have that type of gimmick. So I'm not sure, but
that's why I put it on the armole mentions and
not the list. And then I saw you have it
in the thumbnails, like I guess, but I didn't have
Luigi's Mansion, I cause I think, unlike you a smash.
Speaker 1: It will happened like it sold four? Wait? Three? Three? Right?
Speaker 2: Three?
Speaker 1: Is the last one?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It sold super well, so I think we will hunter
get one. What what's your because obviously the first game
was a one mansion, the second game was like several mansions,
and the third game was a hotel. What's the setting
you'd want to see for the fourth game?
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Dylan is I mean, it's in the title mansion, but
I don't know. I feel like they are going to
switch it up again. Maybe I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I think so. So if I'm trying to think of
a location, put it in a hospital. I think there's
some creepy stuff you can do in the hospital, you know.
I think that'd be good. But that's the thing where
it's almost because one I know organic, and two like
I'm not that anticipating it right now, Dylan. I you know,
as we talked about very famous review, me and Taylor
are both quite disappointed when we got three, and we're
both very excited for it. So I think that's the
thing where I just if none, that's bad. I enjoyed it,
But if four is just more three, it's like, Okay,
this is another fun adventure, you know it. And obviously
a lot that has to do with I was a kid,
I was a young and but there's other things that
are movie, TV or games that have come out when
I was young and then when I'm an adult and
recapture that magic and like Resident Evil nine right in
a way where it's like, okay, they've expand upon that,
or the remakes right, So I think there's ways that
you can still do that. So if it could, if
I get any semblance that, okay, it is similar in
the vain the first one, then I could get excited.
But right now I'm just it's sad that I'm not
even like super excited. I'd be excited to play it
with my kids and then watch them doing stuff, but
for traps the game would say, you know, girls on
vacations just me. I'm not like Jones and right now
from Mansion four, you know, and I should be, you know,
like it's weird. I have the same thing with Don
com Bananza Biden more be more excited by Bonanza two
cause to see like what they could do with that
game and what they could open up where Mansion, I
just feel like they might just get in the sense
of a rinse and repeat, like I just do this
again a couple new ghosts, and it did, you know,
feel a little pgified. It didn't feel as scary as grotesque,
So I don't I don't have it on there. I'd'll
honestly be fine if they didn't make one, but they will,
and I will buy it like a sucker. But if
Mansion four is also like kind of a heartbreak for me.
That might be the be it for the franchise that
I can. I'll wait for a sale in fifty years,
you know. So yeah, that's why I didn't make.
Speaker 1: It my quick shout outs here. I mean, of course,
Ultimate Alliance that was a Switch one exclusively. Yeah, but
I actually I don't want the next game to be
a Switch exclusive, you know. I want a fucking PS
five pro ass Ultimate Lions game. I mean, I'm sure
the switch to version or switch to game would look
a lot better, you know, but hopefully would have sixty
frames per second. I love that game. I played like
two hundred hours of that one on the Switch. But
still I kind of I don't think I want the
next game to be a follow up to that necessarily.
I want it to be something different and have a
bit more fidelity to it. I think Top Downs Elda,
I really liked the Links Awakening to remake that they
did in the Switch era, and I really liked Echoes
of Wisdom. I would love to see like an Echoes
of Wisdom sequel, and like keeping the Top Downs Elder
stuff alive and well, and you know, you can go
to the Links Awakening maybe go back to the Dungeon
Maker thing they had in there as the mini game.
So that's something I'd like to see.
Speaker 2: I got something on that. Why do you think they've
never made like another win Wakers art style type of
Zelda game.
Speaker 1: Well they did. They did on the they did Phantom
hour Glass, they did uh what the fuck is they
called Mirror Track? Uh Zelda and the Spirit tracks Spirit
Tracks and Phantom Hourglass on the DS and and the
We You and then they even had for is kind
of like that too, right, four swords on the game.
He wasn't that kind of ult.
Speaker 2: Say, looking good though, Dylan, Let's let's let's let's be
all here like a Phantom Glass here, like, look at
what I'm looking at right now?
Speaker 1: This is well it's the DS game.
Speaker 2: I guess. Okay, it's like this is a WEI game
where that's that's fair. I'll give you. It released on
the You though, so that's why.
Speaker 1: I was okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And what was the other one you think?
Speaker 1: Uh? Spirit Tracks is also on the.
Speaker 2: Day tracks spelled Spirit wrong, big time Spirit tracks on it.
But so these are just handheld games though, right.
Speaker 1: Also on the DS this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm just saying because I thought too that
was one of those things that the we you I
swear the win Waker HD sold very well, so I was.
Speaker 1: Just always surprised they still have not put that on
the switch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just that's what I guess. I'll curtail and say,
I'm surprised there's never been a main console follow up
with the arts because I think that has a very
select There's a group of people like Emily is not
a Zelda person, but she's a win Waker person. And
I think I've met a lot of those people over
my life that that came at a certain time when
they were a kid. I think that was also a
game that came with a lot of game cubes too,
And I just feel like that art sounds especially now
like looking at it, like I feel like I'm surprised
I've never gone back to tinker with it again, you know,
even if it's a smaller game.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel like Zelda they do like to
have that evolution and we entered into this whatever you
want to describe the painterly aesthetic perhaps that the Breath
of Wild Tears of the Kingdom series have And I
feel like maybe with the next entry of the three
D Zelda. Maybe we'll have a new art style. But yeah,
I don't think it would be going back to that.
I think it would be going to something else that
we haven't thought of yet. Would be my my prediction.
Speaker 2: Perhaps, Yeah, okay, and then what was the other one?
There's one more. I thought you mentioned something. Oh, when
you mentioned Marvel Alliance, I had to look into this.
We've talked about as many times. It was mostly on Nintendo,
eventual went to other consoles. But Sarge's Heroes, you know,
that's again not I think the later titles. Eventually I
found out that Take two actually bought it and owns
the rights to it. I don't think they're doing anything
or are going to do anything with it, but that
was my like, you know, Marvel Alliance sort of like
I want some Star Heroes, but I still got to
buy Hypercharged on box. It's on my it's on my list.
I'm gonna get there at some point.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, my last two Metroid dread I'd like
to see, you know, another two D Metroid in this era,
keep the Metroid stuff going. We'll see what happens there.
And then the last one that I kind of waffled
if I was gonna pick Golden Sun or earth Bound
as kind of bringing back an old RPG series that
is kind of kept relevant through Smash obviously with Nas
and Lucas being in there. You know, if it weren't
for those characters, I don't think anyone would even think
about Earthbound anymore. Obviously, those games are on the Switch
online now, so you can play some of them there. People,
I think, more than anything, just want like a re
release or a localized version of Mother three. That's kind
of what people want for the series, And I think
I struggled to picture what a new Earthbound would look like. Truly.
I feel like what the series does need is just
that that Mother three re release and fans will be happy.
And so I kind of went with Golden Sun, which
to me, I could picture Golden Sun in my head
when I think of what a new Golden Sun would
look like. Couldn't do that as much for Earthbound, even
though I think it's a series that is even more
beloved than Golden Sun. Kind of exists in that same
niche pocket. So yeah, that was a little shout out there,
But yeah, I'm I I feel like some of our
stuff are pretty realistic here, and that's kind of exciting
at least a little bit. I'm sure Nintendo we'll have
a whole bunch of surises for us. I'm sure we'll
get a direct probably in the next month or two,
which will show off a bunch of fresh things, hopefully
some things that are exciting to us. But this is
a really fun topic, is fun to think about, some
Nintendo stuff, some nostalgion here as well. So Travis, thank
you for joining me. We'll be back next week of course,
as we always are, and we'll see you again next time.
Bye bye.
