Speaker 3: and in app you know, caught in four K on
Speaker 3: my iPhone, She's being like, oh I left, there's my door,
Speaker 3: And I'm like, now, you fucking yeah.
Speaker 1: It's it's typically before brother, like they say they delivered
Speaker 1: it and then it will still then show up a
Speaker 1: couple days later.
Speaker 2: What is I wonder what happens there?
Speaker 3: Like I'm doing to counteract that, I've started immediately requesting
Speaker 3: a replacement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good call, as soon as if.
Speaker 3: It's not there the time they say it and I
Speaker 3: don't care about that. It will show up in a
Speaker 3: couple of days. I'm like, no, I need this, NOUG
Speaker 3: send me a replacement. Then I have two of the item.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: I am actively defrauding Jeff Bezos, which makes me a
Speaker 3: good person, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know he's defrauded, defrauding you, right.
Speaker 1: They just said it was delivering and it hasn't been.
Speaker 3: He can't get his package to me, but he can
Speaker 3: send a bunch of annoying ladies into space.
Speaker 2: And he can do that.
Speaker 3: You're doing, Why does care your parent need to be
Speaker 3: up there, Tam.
Speaker 1: I'm refusing to keep up with this. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: don't show up there. I don't know. I I it
Speaker 1: seems to be like a publicity stunt. And that's as
Speaker 1: much as I know about it. And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't are you getting out of Katy Perry?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to have an opinion on this one.
Speaker 1: I want to just go away.
Speaker 3: She's been washed, dried, and re washed. Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 3: You know what of all the times I wouldn't have
Speaker 3: minded it if like some sort of horrible alien space
Speaker 3: kind of like situation unfolded, that's the movie we should
Speaker 3: write and make jan this is how we get our
Speaker 3: Was it an Emmy or an Oscar?
Speaker 2: You wanted?
Speaker 3: We want the gat you I'm going for an Oscar. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's time for annoying celebrities go to space and then
Speaker 3: alien happens. Isn't that just fantastic for no, because the
Speaker 3: fantastic for America's first family.
Speaker 2: They okay, they're not annoying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it has to be like Katy Perry and
Speaker 3: a bunch of equivalents, you know, not actually Kate Perry.
Speaker 3: You know someone who's like Kate Katy Perry, and you
Speaker 3: know who's who else is annoying. I can't think of
Speaker 3: any annoying The only annoying person that is only one
Speaker 3: annoying celebrity. It's Katy Perry. Ship Katy Perry. Riff Raff
Speaker 3: can go up there as well.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, yeah.
Speaker 3: Hulk Hogan, you'll constantly be like coming in like tearing
Speaker 3: his shirt off, and same brother, and he'll be the
Speaker 3: first to die whatever the xenimal is in our thing.
Speaker 3: I think what would happen is he would be these
Speaker 3: animal equivalent would kill him and then in the next
Speaker 3: scene reappair wearing his bandanna, and then for the rest
Speaker 3: of the movie he's wearing that bandanna and it's just like,
Speaker 3: oh damn, they killed.
Speaker 1: Killed thenomorpho Mania, it's gonna run wild on you, brother, Yeah, okay, and.
Speaker 3: This animal will specifically be like your a racist. IM
Speaker 3: killing you for that reason only.
Speaker 1: Like it just says that in perfect like English to
Speaker 1: everyone understands you are a racist, that I'm killing you.
Speaker 4: You are a racist, that I am gonna eat your
Speaker 4: ass if I make it play the spaghetti I'm coming
Speaker 4: for your family. Yeah, all right, well I want to
Speaker 4: watch this. Sounds delightful. It's what we need right now.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Also, speaking of racist wrestlers, every wrestler is just saying
Speaker 1: dumb stuff, and more so than usual, they're having a week.
Speaker 1: John Cena is like, I don't you know, I get
Speaker 1: the allegations, but I love I love Vince McMahon.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, one, you don't have to say that,
Speaker 2: just lie.
Speaker 3: Listen, right, Who amongst us genuinely believed that John Cena
Speaker 3: is a good dude?
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I mean listen, I know what it takes
Speaker 1: to be like in that role at w w E,
Speaker 1: especially at that time. And yes, uh, I believe he's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a psychopath, like a low key one.
Speaker 3: He's a likable dude, which is the difference between him
Speaker 3: and like a hog Hogan. He's he's more charismatic. There's
Speaker 3: no way that goes a person who goes that America
Speaker 3: during his act is like a normal human being. Isn't
Speaker 3: he the one who like appeared and was like, ladies
Speaker 3: and gentlemen, we have permanently, we have compromised somebody discontinued
Speaker 3: Osama bin Laden.
Speaker 2: Someone has been compromised to a permanent And.
Speaker 4: The look at his eyes when he says that that's
Speaker 4: not a normal human being.
Speaker 3: Okay, no, no, okay, that's not a whole movie. I
Speaker 3: would have preferred if he did that message delivery instead
Speaker 3: of doing his like I'm an American Patriot mode, if
Speaker 3: he was in his Yukon see me, I'm a white
Speaker 3: wrapper mode. Yeah, that would have been way funnier. That
Speaker 3: would have been so much better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, professor of a Seal Team six anomics, I think
Speaker 1: is what his character was at the time. All right,
Speaker 1: let's explain ourselves most weekdays, IGFR, I will help peace
Speaker 1: your gaming life back together. That includes breaking news and
Speaker 1: maybe even some of our own original reporting. For all
Speaker 1: these topics, I'll get the input of a bona fide
Speaker 1: expert who will make me look smart. If you were
Speaker 1: watching live on twitch, welcome. You can always listen to
Speaker 1: the show later on podcast feeds by searching for game
Speaker 1: breaking news, or find the RSS on giant bomb dot com.
Speaker 1: You can also catch the show later on YouTube. Hello YouTube.
Speaker 1: All right, we have a lot to get into, so
Speaker 1: let's start the show with Nintendo maintains Nintendo switch To
Speaker 1: pricing retail preorders to begin on April twenty fourth in
Speaker 1: the United States. This does come directly from Nintendo retail
Speaker 1: preorder I know, right, I mean, but that's that's where
Speaker 1: they have us, right. They're like, yeah, they're giving us
Speaker 1: the price that we were already complaining about. It's not
Speaker 1: going up, and we're excited as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And everyone thinks to heroes because they didn't change.
Speaker 1: The price exactly, you nailed it. Retail pre orders for
Speaker 1: Nintendo switch To will begin on April twenty fourth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: At launch.
Speaker 1: The price for Nintendo switch To in the United States
Speaker 1: will remain and as announced on April second, at four
Speaker 1: to four as it was announced on April second, excuse
Speaker 1: me at four hundred and fifty dollars, and the Nintendo
Speaker 1: Switch To Plus Mario Kart World Bundle will remain as
Speaker 1: announced at five hundred dollars. Pricing for both physical and
Speaker 1: digital versions of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza
Speaker 1: will remain unchanged as well. They are eighty dollars and
Speaker 1: seventy dollars respectively. However, Nintendo Switch To accessories will experience
Speaker 1: price adjustments from those announced on April second due to
Speaker 1: changes in market conditions. Other adjustments to the price of
Speaker 1: any Nintendo products are also possible in the future, depending
Speaker 1: on market conditions.
Speaker 2: So Tam, you know we'll get into.
Speaker 1: The prices, have the right to rob you at any moment, right,
Speaker 1: Except that's true, right first of all, like they are
Speaker 1: going to be able to get away with this price,
Speaker 1: I think to themselves by saying, well, we've got a
Speaker 1: ton of switches already in the country, will sell those
Speaker 1: and if things go sideways, we could always raise the
Speaker 1: price later on the new imports. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think by raising the prices on the accessories, that's their
Speaker 1: way of being like let's put a nerd tax on this,
Speaker 1: the one the people who are most likely to spend
Speaker 1: the most amount of money on our stuff, like the
Speaker 1: ones that are the most down bad, the ones that
Speaker 1: like are just gonna buy the stuff no matter what
Speaker 1: we price it at. They're the ones that will be
Speaker 1: disproportionately hit by the accessory pricing because they're the ones
Speaker 1: most likely to buy five accessories with their switch to
Speaker 1: because they're so excited, and so we'll have them sort
Speaker 1: of supplement the cost of everything else going up in
Speaker 1: terms of our costs. I think that's the move here.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not the worst case scenario, but it
Speaker 1: still stinks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're either you're taxing the nerds who are gonna
Speaker 3: people like us who are gonna buy that stuff anyway.
Speaker 3: That's right, Listen, I am, I am A I think
Speaker 3: I'm reasonably intelligent, right, I think I can make you
Speaker 3: think you're very decently good decisions. I'm gonna buy that
Speaker 3: busted ass camera the moment I get an opportunity, I
Speaker 3: know that thing is gonna be for AEP and just
Speaker 3: be the dog shit. It's on like a giant telescopic stand.
Speaker 3: It looks awful I'm having that. I need that. I
Speaker 3: need that thing, and you know, when you plug in
Speaker 3: a normal camera into that switch, is gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 3: I don't know what this is. This isn't a normal camera.
Speaker 3: We need our special camera, which is annoying as hell
Speaker 3: because I've got like one hundred USB.
Speaker 2: Well I think those USB cameras might work. That's the thing. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's okay.
Speaker 3: Now now I feel even more stupid when I buy
Speaker 3: that thing and I'm like.
Speaker 1: That's right, you know, I know that too, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm still probably gonna get that camera.
Speaker 2: What the hell?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah exactly. So those are the people are going
Speaker 3: to get punished, and the other people are going to
Speaker 3: get punished are the people who are like parents or
Speaker 3: like buying this switch thing because they watched the Ordly
Speaker 3: Market and are like, oh, I can get my I
Speaker 3: can play this with my family members or friends. Right, Oh,
Speaker 3: these control is two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: What well, let's let's get into that.
Speaker 1: So the switch to four fifty, the bundle with Mario
Speaker 1: Kart World five hundred, Mario Kart World eight or yeah,
Speaker 1: eighty dollars, Donkey Kung Bonanza seventy dollars. All those are
Speaker 1: the prices that were announced on April. Second, let's get
Speaker 1: into all the things that have now gone up in price.
Speaker 1: Nintendo switch to Pro controller eighty five dollars, JOYCN two
Speaker 1: like you know, the Joycon two pair is what they
Speaker 1: call it here, but it's just basically a new set
Speaker 1: of Joycon ninety five dollars, the charging grip forty dollars,
Speaker 1: the strap fourteen dollars, JOYCN two wheel set like the
Speaker 1: thing that I think you put the controller in for
Speaker 1: Mario Kart twenty five dollars. The switch to camera is
Speaker 1: fifty five dollars. Now, the dock set so I guess
Speaker 1: this is a separate doc one hundred and twenty dollars.
Speaker 1: Nintendo switch to carrying case and screen protector forty dollars,
Speaker 1: the all in one carrying case eighty five dollars. The
Speaker 1: switch to AC adapter is now thirty five dollars. That
Speaker 1: is actually not the worst price. I thought that, honestly,
Speaker 1: I feel like they would have charged more for that.
Speaker 1: And then the Samsung Micro US the express card two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six gigabytes for Nintendo switch to is
Speaker 1: sixty dollars TAM's holding up a yes, the eight bit
Speaker 1: dough all, it's just the year two fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: Yep, this is the brand new one. I mean it's
Speaker 3: a work I imagine on your whatever, your switches, your new switches.
Speaker 3: I surely unless they actively block Bluetooth devices from working,
Speaker 3: that work one. Just make sure if normal controllers work
Speaker 3: on it. Just buy something else, man like and then
Speaker 3: also don't buy that stupid shit like the wheel. I
Speaker 3: have like nightmares about that plastic wheel from the Wei
Speaker 3: era that people bought for Mario car It is the
Speaker 3: dumbest thing I have. I looked at it and I
Speaker 3: was like, I cannot believe people are buying this for
Speaker 3: like it was like thirty dollars or something like that.
Speaker 3: It was unreal. I was like, this is just a awful,
Speaker 3: gross plastic. It's pure white. The moment your hands touch it,
Speaker 3: every bit of grime you're bustard ass has been collecting
Speaker 3: on your hand is going to be visible. Like, just
Speaker 3: don't do it, man, just you don't need most of
Speaker 3: this stuff. Like, let's obviously I'm a Nintendo enjoyer. I'll
Speaker 3: never be pro corporation. But like sometimes you go to
Speaker 3: vote with your money, man, and it might be time
Speaker 3: like this is there's more egregious things that could you
Speaker 3: could be worrying about in terms of money. But like
Speaker 3: I'm of the opinion I was one of those people
Speaker 3: who when work in retail, people be like I want
Speaker 3: the plastic wheel thing, and I'd be like, no, you don't, man,
Speaker 3: No you don't. Like, well, why I want? My kid?
Speaker 3: I was like, you could buy this for thirty dollars,
Speaker 3: or you could buy another game about that, and the
Speaker 3: kid will be like, I want the extra game, and
Speaker 3: I'd be like, this is why you're a kid, You're dumb.
Speaker 3: Get out, yeah, and why I'm this is why I'm
Speaker 3: earning minimum wage and you're.
Speaker 2: A child exactly. That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I am with you where it's like I
Speaker 1: probably will just not get one of the successories that
Speaker 1: I might have otherwise. You know, the prices have gone
Speaker 1: up here. It's not like they're going up commiserates the
Speaker 1: right word. With the tariffs, they're going up like five
Speaker 1: dollars each. The switched Juo pro controller was eighty bucks.
Speaker 1: Now it's it's eighty five. The joy Con two set
Speaker 1: they were ninety dollars now it's ninety five, so it's
Speaker 1: you know, not some steep.
Speaker 2: Increase, but any increase is going to hurt.
Speaker 1: And this is this is curly Nintendo just being like,
Speaker 1: let's get a little extra on top. We feel like
Speaker 1: the accessories will be easier to get away with. The
Speaker 1: headline will be the switch to is the same price,
Speaker 1: and we can and we need to get away with
Speaker 1: something here, And so that's that's the move. I you know,
Speaker 1: are you surprised that they didn't raise the price of
Speaker 1: the switch to, Like I know that was kind of
Speaker 1: your your call. I think you were probably right on
Speaker 1: the money on that, but you're like, this is their
Speaker 1: moment where they probably could have got away with something
Speaker 1: and they didn't.
Speaker 3: Cake of, yeah, they could have. I think that raising
Speaker 3: the price right now would really hurt whatever momentum they've
Speaker 3: built into marketing the switch to currently, which as it
Speaker 3: goes into like the launch period and as we approach
Speaker 3: like the holiday period, where people are more inclined to
Speaker 3: spend money to buy these kind of devices and like
Speaker 3: even do it to the detriment of their own kind
Speaker 3: of like financial stability to a degree. Like this is
Speaker 3: around time like Christmas time, people are like, I have
Speaker 3: to do this. I you know, I know, I've got
Speaker 3: a bunch of bills to pay, but I got to
Speaker 3: do this. This is the thing. Like you don't want
Speaker 3: to risk any of that, and like jacking up the
Speaker 3: price could be the thing that pushes people off the
Speaker 3: fence and just be like, nah, I'm not doing that
Speaker 3: too much. I think it actually works out in their
Speaker 3: favor to do it on the peripherals, because I believe
Speaker 3: the kind of markup on that is already pretty high.
Speaker 3: They're making their money traditionally. That's how unless it's changed
Speaker 3: in recent times and I haven't noticed it, but like
Speaker 3: consoles are sold at a loss, where that.
Speaker 1: Is usually do that not the last few generations, but
Speaker 1: you're right, that's still that is how it works with others.
Speaker 3: But the kind of benefit of that where you make
Speaker 3: up or the kind of a symptom and the result
Speaker 3: of that where you make up extra money on games
Speaker 3: and peripherals, it applies to Nintendo in the same way.
Speaker 3: They're still making more money peripherals and games even if
Speaker 3: they're not selling the console at a loss, which means
Speaker 3: if they're able to crank up the price slightly on
Speaker 3: those same things. It means that they're making more money
Speaker 3: than they probably would have if they had jacked up
Speaker 3: the price of the console itself. So I think it's
Speaker 3: a very shrewd, very smart move on their part. I
Speaker 3: think I'm hoping that consumers are a little more savvy,
Speaker 3: but also like, I don't care if you want to
Speaker 3: spend your money, do what you want, Like I'm gonna
Speaker 3: buy I'm being hypocritical because I'm probably gonna end up
Speaker 3: buying a couple of these things, but just a matter
Speaker 3: of like, hey, if you have the disposable income and
Speaker 3: you're in a position to do it, and you need
Speaker 3: to do it for me, I'd be like, I kind
Speaker 3: of need to do it because I've got to like
Speaker 3: play these games and test them and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: But like, don't be I think there's enough alternatives out
Speaker 3: there now that you can find a cost effective way
Speaker 3: of getting what you want out of your switch, which
Speaker 3: primarily for most people are going to be like I
Speaker 3: want a few people to be able to play this.
Speaker 3: There's probably more cost effective ways for you to do
Speaker 3: that beyond the simple and easy thing, which is just
Speaker 3: order a bunch of Nintendo's peripherals, which is gonna cost
Speaker 3: you a lot more money.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're right, definitely right that like Nintendo, it
Speaker 1: makes a high margin on those successories. So that's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons they do it in the first place.
Speaker 1: And part of this raising the prices is like, you know,
Speaker 1: that business, we don't care about being in that business
Speaker 1: unless it's making us high margins. So returning and like
Speaker 1: kind of reclaiming those margins is a big part of
Speaker 1: that commensurate commensurate That's what I was trying to say.
Speaker 1: I knew, like I knew, commiserate wasn't right. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that didn't sound right, but.
Speaker 3: It was a right kind of also works as well
Speaker 3: because no one's yeah, yes, no one less improving. No
Speaker 3: one's getting more money for the work they do, you know,
Speaker 3: so I'm commiserate. All right.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, Jamie h just has a little no here.
Speaker 1: Estimates on the profit margins of the og JOYCN was
Speaker 1: around forty two percent. So it's definitely smart business to
Speaker 1: increase accessories over console.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I said. Yep, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 3: You know what they're doing, all right. I have said
Speaker 3: that if they released some sort of Donkey Kongo peripher
Speaker 3: or if they release an arm cannon for Metroid, I'm
Speaker 3: buying that. I don't care how much it costs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I give it to I know, I'm like
Speaker 1: very excited about Metroid stuff.
Speaker 2: So anything they kind of give me Metroid right now,
Speaker 2: I'll be all over it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. You know the other side of this
Speaker 1: that we you know, we talked about the price. Pre
Speaker 1: orders do begin April twenty fourth in the United States.
Speaker 1: That's the you know next what we'll see here? Today's
Speaker 1: next Thursday. Yes, next Thursday. So now we have that day.
Speaker 3: Should we have a pre order stream party? I think
Speaker 3: so we all just get on stream and try and
Speaker 3: pre order the console together.
Speaker 2: Yes? Did they? Did they give us the time of day? Chat?
Speaker 2: Let us know.
Speaker 3: We did that during the PS five release where we
Speaker 3: were in a meeting. It was like me, Lucy and
Speaker 3: I can't remember who also, it was maybe Jordan, and
Speaker 3: we're like mid meeting, stopped to like just all coordinate
Speaker 3: on pre ordering the PS five. It was so funny
Speaker 3: and it kind of was like fun and I think,
Speaker 3: like that's the chance we have of get of dos
Speaker 3: and Mitch.
Speaker 1: You know you mean doxy Mitch again. He's already done
Speaker 1: that on Blake Club once.
Speaker 2: So there. Yeah, that's been scribbed.
Speaker 1: Everybody, don't go looking for it. Yeah, it's okay, Marino,
Speaker 1: thank you very much as saying it. He thinks it's
Speaker 1: up to the retailer. Like win on April twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: could be midnight, so we'll see. If it's a midnight
Speaker 1: maybe a stream will be difficult, but.
Speaker 3: The stream won't be difficult. It's your commitment, is the.
Speaker 2: Question, right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do I have the internal fortitude to stream myself at
Speaker 1: midnight trying to get it? And I do so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I very much want to like get us together and
Speaker 1: it's like share tips and everybody like it's working over here.
Speaker 2: I got by you can go now. So that sounds
Speaker 2: funnyonic that happening?
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here. Mario Kart World switch to
Speaker 1: bundle will be discontinued this fall. This is from Steven
Speaker 1: Petite at game Spot during the During this week's Mario
Speaker 1: Kart World focused live stream, Nintendo reiterated and important fact
Speaker 1: switch to console bundle that comes with the game. It
Speaker 1: will only be available until fall twenty twenty five. Nintendo
Speaker 1: originally announce the bundle's limited availability during the switch to
Speaker 1: Direct earlier this month, but with pre order delays and
Speaker 1: controversy around the game's price, this key detail has flown
Speaker 1: a bit under the radar. But now during that direct
Speaker 1: yesterday they reconfirmed this and Tam I asked, you, do
Speaker 1: you believe them?
Speaker 2: Do you believe them? No?
Speaker 3: No, I don't believe them. That's bullshit. First of all. Secondly, why,
Speaker 3: like what.
Speaker 2: Well, I okay, let's be cynical. Why Tam, Why would
Speaker 2: they say?
Speaker 3: Why? Why would you do? I mean, like, I know why.
Speaker 3: My brain wants to do this to jack up the
Speaker 3: demand of the jack at the demand, Like what what
Speaker 3: conceivable reason is there for them to be like, oh,
Speaker 3: we're only signed this for a little bit of time.
Speaker 3: You know that console and that game that everyone wants
Speaker 3: to buy together. We're not going to sell them together
Speaker 3: for You'll have to buy them separately. That's the only way.
Speaker 3: I think. That's the only thing that I think would
Speaker 3: be the reason. Like, when you bundle them together, you
Speaker 3: usually have to present some sort of discount, right, like
Speaker 3: you lower the price slightly. So I imagine the only
Speaker 3: reason they want to do this is to decouple them
Speaker 3: because then they can jeck, they can. People have to
Speaker 3: pay full price for both of those things, which means
Speaker 3: they get more money out of it. But again, like
Speaker 3: the success of a lot of the Wei, the We
Speaker 3: You Even and the Switch has come from bundles like
Speaker 3: combining a console and a game that people really want
Speaker 3: to entice people to be like, this is the one
Speaker 3: thing that you buy and you're good for a long time.
Speaker 3: It's a very boneheaded move from an optics perspective, But
Speaker 3: I don't know it's it's it feels like they want
Speaker 3: to do this because they There's something about the way
Speaker 3: Nintendo is currently moving that makes me feel not great
Speaker 3: about the attitude towards how they treat consumers. It feels
Speaker 3: like they previously struck a better balance between like understanding
Speaker 3: that they are a broadly appeal company with devices that
Speaker 3: a lot of people want and can also relatively speaking
Speaker 3: afford right like the Wi was relatively speaking cheap switch
Speaker 3: as well, like the Wii as well. I think now
Speaker 3: they've reached the point where they're looking at and being like,
Speaker 3: all right, we're good. People want this stuff. People who
Speaker 3: buy our stuff like they don't buy other people stuff usually,
Speaker 3: so let's jack up the price and take the piss
Speaker 3: a bit. I feel like Nintendo might be entering it's
Speaker 3: like take the piss era, which is this feels like
Speaker 3: a big part of that. Like, I don't understand why
Speaker 3: you would do this unless you wanted to force people
Speaker 3: into paying full price for everything instead of presenting a
Speaker 3: marginal discount by bundling together. I think it was like
Speaker 3: Wrio was in charge. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think this is very much a warriors in charge
Speaker 1: sort of thing. I think the cynical side is correct
Speaker 1: on all this, where it is so yeah, you say
Speaker 1: it's available through fall twenty twenty five, and then don't
Speaker 1: guarantee you or will turn it that and after that.
Speaker 3: So guarantee it. They're not saying outright that it's not
Speaker 3: coming back. They're just they're trying to get you to
Speaker 3: be desperate in the time.
Speaker 1: They're trying to get you to be desperate now to
Speaker 1: be like, well, I should get if I want to
Speaker 1: get that thing, I'm gonna save thirty dollars. I should
Speaker 1: move like they're getting you to be like, man, thirty
Speaker 1: dollars is the reason I need to buy it now
Speaker 1: then you know, let's be real.
Speaker 2: There was like almost.
Speaker 1: Never a moment during the Switch's life where it didn't
Speaker 1: have a Mario Kart eight bundle, like, and that was
Speaker 1: always like, hey, this this holiday's bundle is gonna be
Speaker 1: bundled with Mario Kart eight Deluxe. And then it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, next year, what's this year's bundle bundle with
Speaker 1: Mario Kart Eate Deluxe.
Speaker 2: Seven years in a row almost, it felt.
Speaker 3: Like that's the thing they can very easily swap in
Speaker 3: different games to be it's also a marketing tool, right, like.
Speaker 2: The latest marketing tool. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the biggest game or the most important game to them,
Speaker 3: like Mario Kart is the big one right now. It's
Speaker 3: when they release Super Mario Sunshine too. Next year they're
Speaker 3: gonna be like, Okay, this is the one that we're
Speaker 3: bundling in now. However, that doesn't preclude retailers from bundling
Speaker 3: it themselves, which is usually what happens. When I worked
Speaker 3: out retail, there was usually one or two official bundles
Speaker 3: for uh, the Switch, Don't Switch, the Wei and the
Speaker 3: we You because they had like the packaging way it
Speaker 3: was inside and everything like that. However, as a retailer,
Speaker 3: we had a bunch of bundles that were just like
Speaker 3: we'd created ourselves, and the company game or GameStop or
Speaker 3: whatever maybe had decided these are bundles that we're gonna
Speaker 3: put together on our own and just you know, put
Speaker 3: it out there. So Nintendo is saying they can't guarantee
Speaker 3: or be around. I imagine most retailers would just be like, Oh,
Speaker 3: we're just gonna sell. Is Amazon going to look at
Speaker 3: this thing and be like, when we bundle Mario Corp.
Speaker 3: With this, switch to the number on sales numbers skyrocket? Ye,
Speaker 3: you should do this.
Speaker 2: And I don't think they're going to have to.
Speaker 1: I think that this will this one'll they'll go into
Speaker 1: supplies last it'll go away and then Nintendo will reintroduce
Speaker 1: it or they'll This gives them like alls, like the
Speaker 1: ability to be nimble, right if they do need to
Speaker 1: raise prices. Well, the five hundred dollars bundle went away,
Speaker 1: and it's like that was a limited time thing. So
Speaker 1: this new bundle is five thirty. It's bundled with the game,
Speaker 1: but you actually have to pay a full price of
Speaker 1: the game now. But like this is the readily available bundle,
Speaker 1: so it gives them like a room to maneuver if
Speaker 1: they need to. And then you know, they could also
Speaker 1: bundle in different games if they wanted to. But they
Speaker 1: probably just come back, right that's any minute now. I
Speaker 1: think they probably come back next year, early next year,
Speaker 1: after the holidays and be like, hey, the Mario Karmont
Speaker 1: bundle is back.
Speaker 2: It won't It just won't be that long.
Speaker 1: It's going to be around this entire console generation, just
Speaker 1: like it was for the last one. So this is
Speaker 1: them kind of just giving themselves a small out so
Speaker 1: they can respond based on what the demand is telling
Speaker 1: them and what people are saying about the price, and
Speaker 1: then now what they have to deal with in terms
Speaker 1: of global trade embargoes and things along those Among those lines,
Speaker 1: I hope.
Speaker 3: This is a Nintendo generation where they make sequels to
Speaker 3: the worst games that they've ever made, Like what Marrial Sunshine? Okay,
Speaker 3: no arguments. Crossbow training mis Crossbow training is all right,
Speaker 3: come on, man, you're better than that.
Speaker 2: It's all right.
Speaker 3: For what it is, Nintendo games are out there that.
Speaker 2: They yeah, arms to re armed.
Speaker 1: Scott the Wahs just just did a video and I
Speaker 1: haven't watched it. Mike was telling me about it, and
Speaker 1: he's like, he mentioned that Donkey Donkey Conga mentioned Donkey
Speaker 1: Conga is one.
Speaker 2: Of the worst. Yeah, you know what, I'm thinking back,
Speaker 2: Donkey Congo.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking back on playing Mario Sunshine, and I think
Speaker 3: the game is not good. I think it's made made
Speaker 3: much worse by the god awful Nintendo GameCube controller. I
Speaker 3: think that's that's where I stand with it.
Speaker 2: Controller is pretty good.
Speaker 3: Game controller is not good. I'm not hearing this, man.
Speaker 3: Every button is a different shape and size. Shut the fu.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're different, buttons recording to get rid of anyone
Speaker 1: is different.
Speaker 3: That is insane behavior. Like every design principle is broken
Speaker 3: by that thing. It looks awful, it feels awful. Every
Speaker 3: button is a different shape and size. There's no assistency
Speaker 3: with like how any of them feel. It is easily
Speaker 3: the worst controller that has ever been created, after the
Speaker 3: Nintendo controller.
Speaker 1: I like the controller, but I do find it difficult
Speaker 1: to defend because my my bar for is this a
Speaker 1: good controller is how easy is it to play Tony
Speaker 1: Hawk with it? And GameCube is a bad control to
Speaker 1: play Tony Hawk.
Speaker 3: I remember playing Sunshine and being like, I cannot play
Speaker 3: this game because I've pressed the button and now I've
Speaker 3: just realized I've pressed the button down. If I press
Speaker 3: it harder, it's another button. And what the what's going on?
Speaker 3: And then there's one button is the size of my fist,
Speaker 3: and then there's this other button right next to it.
Speaker 3: Now there's the size of like a penny. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Why am I? What's going on here? What's happened? I'm
Speaker 3: just I don't understand it, like one bit. I feel
Speaker 3: like I don't fundamentally trust anyone that says the gamekeep
Speaker 3: controller is good, okay once they say. If someone says
Speaker 3: to me, I think the game control is gay great,
Speaker 3: in my brain I filled them into a different bucket,
Speaker 3: which is like, if you're about to get by a car,
Speaker 3: I ain't saving your ass.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of Melee fans that are
Speaker 1: gonna be killed in your world, tam.
Speaker 3: Old the West people in the world. I get it.
Speaker 2: No an argument for me.
Speaker 1: Uh all right, let's see here Nintendo. Did Nintendo justify
Speaker 1: Mario Kart World's eighty dollars price tag? So the direct
Speaker 1: did happen yesterday? Steve Watts at GameSpot wrote this story,
Speaker 1: but this is something a lot of people are talking about. Hey,
Speaker 1: that direct happened. I think people's expectation was one we'd
Speaker 1: get like some new surprising thing from Mario Kart World
Speaker 1: that people really didn't know about to make the direct
Speaker 1: makes sense, and then a lot of details about why
Speaker 1: this thing is eighty dollars, and people didn't feel like
Speaker 1: they got either of those things. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a good direct just because I'm like, very excited about
Speaker 1: this game. But the common response has been this is
Speaker 1: it's still not worth eighty dollars. And yeah, if you
Speaker 1: were watching that direct to be like, tell me why
Speaker 1: it's eighty dollars, what are you doing? Like, it's like,
Speaker 1: of course, it's just another game and they want more money.
Speaker 1: That's all that is the BS excuse that they gave about, oh,
Speaker 1: there's so much content in here, so that's how we
Speaker 1: come up with the price. That's a lie. They were
Speaker 1: lying to you because they're a corporation who wants your money.
Speaker 1: So of course that was never going to be in
Speaker 1: the direct. That was never a real thing. And if
Speaker 1: you look at this game and you say it's not
Speaker 1: worth eighty dollars, you're right, and you don't have to
Speaker 1: buy it for eighty dollars, and I just wouldn't if
Speaker 1: that's how you're feeling. I don't blame anyone for just
Speaker 1: sitting out on it, because a game should try to
Speaker 1: win you over and convince you that its price is
Speaker 1: actually correct.
Speaker 3: Here is a long and short of though all. Nintendo
Speaker 3: has always maintained that it believes that it's games are
Speaker 3: worth a premium, even in an era where the hardware
Speaker 3: that runs the games is older and behind its competitors.
Speaker 3: Nintendo's focus has always been, and their statement, their kind
Speaker 3: of perspective has been, we make amazing games. We are
Speaker 3: going to charge what we think is the most fair
Speaker 3: price for our perception of what we believe these games are,
Speaker 3: and that has always been full price. It's always always
Speaker 3: been why they also never discount their games. They've been
Speaker 3: open about saying, we don't discount our games because we
Speaker 3: don't want to reduce the value over of our games.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: We now live in an era where Nintendo believes that
Speaker 3: is still the case, and they believe that their games
Speaker 3: are good enough that they can charge a premium price
Speaker 3: for it. That premium price no longer being sixty dollars,
Speaker 3: but eighty dollars. You can talk about, you know, economic
Speaker 3: context and the actual amount of content in there until
Speaker 3: the cows come home. Ultimately, they just think that this
Speaker 3: is how much their game.
Speaker 2: Is worth, like how much they can get from you
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 3: Yes, and they believe that this is how much that
Speaker 3: they can get from you. Okay, doesn't really matter if
Speaker 3: you think there's not enough content in there, or you
Speaker 3: think there's not new or fresh idea enough. They believe
Speaker 3: this is how much is worth and that's how much
Speaker 3: they're going to charge, and it doesn't matter like we
Speaker 3: can talk about how much is in there and all
Speaker 3: the other factors that play into it. They are impervious
Speaker 3: to those lines of thinking that could work in any
Speaker 3: other console or any other publisher, any other developer. Nintendo
Speaker 3: has just got a history of being stubborn about it,
Speaker 3: and it will maintain that way. Now here's the interesting
Speaker 3: part of it. Nintendo, as I mentioned, never ever discounts
Speaker 3: their games. But the games have been this high since
Speaker 3: Supernintendo and Nintendo sixty four era.
Speaker 2: Right Yep.
Speaker 3: The question now becomes like do they stay at eighty
Speaker 3: dollars or is the price high enough now that they've
Speaker 3: given themselves a buffer zone where they can discount every
Speaker 3: now and then, because.
Speaker 2: I couldn't one thing, probably not.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, like, the one thing that I
Speaker 3: really think about is like Nintendo's E Shop is the
Speaker 3: most unenjoyable place to go to when you are in
Speaker 3: the mood to buy a game. You are correct, You
Speaker 3: go in there, and none of the games that they
Speaker 3: make are ever even on discount, like very rarely?
Speaker 2: Are they very rarely? And then when they are just
Speaker 2: counted forty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the amount of times I've purchased a Nintendo game
Speaker 3: from the E shop is minuscule.
Speaker 1: Company I talk about like the Animal Crossings and the
Speaker 1: Mario Karts, even like the Yoshi games that are that
Speaker 1: you know, aren't selling twenty five million copies also going
Speaker 1: to go down to forty five like once every two years.
Speaker 3: Even if I get like a second switch right and
Speaker 3: I want I want to download another copy of you know,
Speaker 3: I want to buy another copy of whatever game. I'm
Speaker 3: not doing it. I'm not buying it from your like,
Speaker 3: I would rather find a physical version of it and
Speaker 3: pay a premium for that. I think now we might
Speaker 3: be in a position where potentially they could be like,
Speaker 3: we're gonna drop this five dollars because they are missing
Speaker 3: out on digital sales, Like they create a digital store
Speaker 3: space where their games don't benefit from it at all. Right,
Speaker 3: you go in there, you never most people never buy all, Like,
Speaker 3: if they're like me, they never buy a Nintendo game
Speaker 3: from there. So they're just running this store for other people.
Speaker 3: So I imagine now they might be an opportunity for
Speaker 3: them to be like, well, if we just take the
Speaker 3: price down a five dollars, ten dollars, we get some
Speaker 3: digital sales too, Like that could be yeah, it could
Speaker 3: be beneficial to us. So maybe there's something in that.
Speaker 3: But I hope so we can't we can argue about
Speaker 3: whether these games are worth eighty dollars. They do not care. Okay,
Speaker 3: so they made people, Yeah, they hired people, they to
Speaker 3: make those games, and then they went through the trouble
Speaker 3: of putting those games out. They're going to charge it
Speaker 3: at the price they think is fair, and eighty dollars
Speaker 3: is currently what they think is fair.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's it.
Speaker 1: And like you know, if we're asking the why, you
Speaker 1: know that's that's sold plenty of headlines yesterday?
Speaker 2: Why is Mario.
Speaker 1: Kartt World eighty dollars like the real answers Just Mario
Speaker 1: Kart eight Deluxe sold sixty million copies. That's the reason
Speaker 1: they think it's worth eighty dollars. It's completely disconnected from
Speaker 1: how we feel when we buy a game it has.
Speaker 1: Those two things have nothing to do with one another,
Speaker 1: is what Tama is saying, and I completely agree it's
Speaker 1: and that that's what's so frustrating about the way this
Speaker 1: stuff always works, is like we think we're in this
Speaker 1: relationship with these companies to be like, you know, you
Speaker 1: convince me to buy your product. It convinced me to
Speaker 1: spend that much money on it, and they're they're just
Speaker 1: not even looking at you. They're looking at a chart
Speaker 1: and they go with what they can get away with.
Speaker 1: So yeah, of course the game is not worth eighty
Speaker 1: dollars to a lot of people. And yet I still
Speaker 1: think it's gonna sell. It's probably gonna be like up
Speaker 1: there as the second third best selling game of this
Speaker 1: year and one of the top ten minutes. I mean, granted,
Speaker 1: Thought of six is coming out this year and that's
Speaker 1: multi platform, so that'll be tough.
Speaker 2: But uh, you know.
Speaker 1: You're right, it could still be Mario Kart, and then
Speaker 1: Mario Kart World will be one of the best selling,
Speaker 1: you know, ten best selling games of the year, like
Speaker 1: for the.
Speaker 2: Next five years.
Speaker 3: So going coming out, Doug.
Speaker 1: I hope you're right, because I counterpicked it in Fantasy Critics,
Speaker 1: So I think that game is coming out.
Speaker 2: Yep. Uh.
Speaker 1: In that case, then I do think Mario Kart could
Speaker 1: very easily be the best selling game of the year.
Speaker 2: All right, let's you know what, let's take a break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, there's one more Nintendo story to
Speaker 1: get into, or at least update on, and then we'll get.
Speaker 2: Into the rest of the drags for a Friday right
Speaker 2: after this. All right, we're back at it.
Speaker 1: Jeff grub two more, who's saying game breaking news, thanks
Speaker 1: for watching.
Speaker 2: Nintendo has now removed all references to VRR for TV play.
Speaker 2: This is from my Nintendo News.
Speaker 1: We talked about this yesterday, and I think at the
Speaker 1: time I was not like this was kind of happening.
Speaker 1: The things we're getting removed. I thought this might have
Speaker 1: been VRR in general. It seems to be just for
Speaker 1: VRR on TV through the doc VRR is still mentioned
Speaker 1: on in videos like a blog post about the switch
Speaker 1: to for handheld and they say specifically in handheld mode,
Speaker 1: but VRR references on all websites now. Yesterday they had
Speaker 1: removed it from the Nintendo website for like Japan, the
Speaker 1: United States, and a few other regions, but it was
Speaker 1: still up on the europe In site. It has now
Speaker 1: also been removed from the European site. To me TAM,
Speaker 1: this says that there's some some issue with getting VRR
Speaker 1: running on whatever they're doing with that doc. The doc
Speaker 1: seems to be using some I didn't look into it
Speaker 1: too much, but there is like a an adapter built
Speaker 1: into the dock to make you know, the USB C
Speaker 1: work with a displayed port technology that Nintendo's using. Seems
Speaker 1: like they might not have that ready to go at
Speaker 1: launch or maybe ever, because now they're just removing any
Speaker 1: reference to VRR and they're not giving more information about it.
Speaker 1: The VRR as a variable refresh rate g SINC. Free
Speaker 1: sync enables your TV and your console to update at
Speaker 1: the same frame rate, so it looks much smoother than
Speaker 1: if you're the game is running at forty five frames
Speaker 1: per second and the TV's going sixty and there's you know,
Speaker 1: frame frame timing, frame pacing issues. This solves a lot
Speaker 1: of that this, you know, it's it's a bummer, it's weird.
Speaker 1: I'm happy it's still in the handheld mode, but I
Speaker 1: do wonder what's going on.
Speaker 3: Very surprising that they doesn't. I would think that it's
Speaker 3: it would be the other way around, like they would
Speaker 3: prioritize making it work for TV mode and less so
Speaker 3: on handheld mode. Right, Like, it's very weird because there's
Speaker 3: some control over the display in handheld mode, whereas on
Speaker 3: a TV and who knows what TV that's being plugged into,
Speaker 3: you know, So it's it's kind of interesting and weird
Speaker 3: that this is going on in that way. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean if they think, I don't know, like are those
Speaker 3: are they running games that where that is important? And
Speaker 3: I imagine Nintendo probably is like, ah, this doesn't really care.
Speaker 3: We don't care about this. But it's also a.
Speaker 1: Very Nvidia thing because Seanan Chad are saying this is
Speaker 1: specifically the proprietary g sync tech. Now they've opened that
Speaker 1: up in a lot of ways over the years, so
Speaker 1: it does work on stuff that's like free sync and
Speaker 1: VRR like generic VRR, but these this technology technology is
Speaker 1: in Nvidia thing. So you say Nintendo that might not care,
Speaker 1: I think could be pretty accurate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also I think that this is something that
Speaker 3: can they can very easily like update the console with later.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what happened to PlayStation five. So yes, I
Speaker 1: was trying to remember, like the PS four probe was
Speaker 1: the PS five PS five launch without VRR about two
Speaker 1: two and a half years later got updated with VRR finally,
Speaker 1: So the same thing could happen here.
Speaker 3: I think as long as it's not going to be
Speaker 3: an issue, as long as it doesn't become evident that
Speaker 3: VRR is missing missing in the games that they put out,
Speaker 3: Like if you're playing Metro Prime and it's a mess,
Speaker 3: then people are gonna be like, well, it's the VR,
Speaker 3: that's what was why this happened. I don't think. I
Speaker 3: think they're confident in at least the first crop of
Speaker 3: games that they're putting out to not be noticeable. But
Speaker 3: how many issues with it? Yeah, which is definitely right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's you know, they have a handful of
Speaker 1: games that are going to run at more than more
Speaker 1: than sixty frames per second, and I imagine in those
Speaker 1: cases VRR would be very handy to have, because are
Speaker 1: we really going to get a solid one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty frames per second from Metroid Prime For we might,
Speaker 1: but we might not too. To one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: frames per second is a lot that's difficult to pull off.
Speaker 1: So in that situation, I see VRR being would be
Speaker 1: great to have, but also higher.
Speaker 2: The frame rate is actually a little bit less important.
Speaker 1: VRR is because it becomes more difficult to notice screen tearing,
Speaker 1: and when frame pacing is off a little bit, that's
Speaker 1: much more noticeable. In the thirty to sixty frame rate range.
Speaker 3: You think much Red Prime Fur is going to have multiplayer?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're far past that. Do
Speaker 1: you Is that something you would want?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not know, but I would. I definitely want to
Speaker 3: see Nintendo do it so I can see I can
Speaker 3: enjoy them flying downstairs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they might know better.
Speaker 3: I played much to Prime Hunters on DS and it
Speaker 3: was easily one of the worst things I've ever experienced
Speaker 3: in my life. By it was hilarious today and.
Speaker 1: I really want to play Metric Prime Hunters on Giant
Speaker 1: Palm again.
Speaker 2: I put the.
Speaker 3: Dongle that lets you connect to the internet using the Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it was atrocious. Still, I was there, I was playing.
Speaker 3: I was one of those people playing Metroid Prime Hunters
Speaker 3: on the Internet being annoying as hell of I can.
Speaker 1: But you were you in a clan? Were you in
Speaker 1: the Metro Prime Hunter's plan? Because I know someone who
Speaker 1: was both of you.
Speaker 3: To think that I have friends that would want to
Speaker 3: play Metro Crime.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I think that's the Yeah. They're at a
Speaker 1: point now where it's like they have Splatoon right there.
Speaker 1: They don't need to force a multiplayer shooter into metrod anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh all right.
Speaker 1: Xbox hints at Indiana Jones sequel and says we think
Speaker 1: there's a lot, there's life in that franchise. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: think that we can make more money from this is
Speaker 1: Randy Robinson at BGC. Microsoft's Gaming Boss is hinted at
Speaker 1: a future for the Indiana Jones franchise within Xbox Games Studio.
Speaker 1: Following the positively received release of The Great Circle Machine
Speaker 1: Games I call The Fantastic Circle personally the Machine Games
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones and The Fantastic Circle was released for Xbox
Speaker 1: and PC in December to positive reviews, massing over four
Speaker 1: million players, according to Microsoft, with Machine Games currently working
Speaker 1: on DLC for the game and a PlayStation five version
Speaker 1: releasing this week. Microsoft Phil Spencer was asked by Variety
Speaker 1: whether the company has larger plans for Indy, and he said,
Speaker 1: I will say we're really happy with Indy and the
Speaker 1: players and the reception.
Speaker 2: Spencer responded, we.
Speaker 1: Do think there's life in that franchise, and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna leave it at that. We're launching on PlayStation here
Speaker 1: pretty soon. I think that'll be a cool moment. My
Speaker 1: expectation here is that if they can get away with
Speaker 1: doing a trilogy, that that's what they're going to aim for, right,
Speaker 1: That's one they're feeling like, Okay, you think so too?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely. And I think maybe the next game
Speaker 3: in that series probably launches day and day on PlayStation.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I think, well, depending on how it performs,
Speaker 3: Like I think they will be monitoring to be like,
Speaker 3: how to see how much their interest is there is
Speaker 3: on the playstafe. Why not at Yeah, And like if
Speaker 3: you're trying, if you're if you want to, you know,
Speaker 3: you've got this license and you want to try and
Speaker 3: make the most of it the best thing you can
Speaker 3: do is put it out on moreiple places around when
Speaker 3: there's a zeitgeist around it, right, Like, so I imagine
Speaker 3: they would be cool. I wish I would prefer if
Speaker 3: Machine Games did another Wolfenstein or something else of their own.
Speaker 2: I wish for the End of the World trilogy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's not the end of the world. If
Speaker 3: they go back and do another indie for another thing,
Speaker 3: and I don't know, maybe maybe let them do a
Speaker 3: one for you, one for us kind of thing. Let
Speaker 3: them make another Wolfenstein and then go into another indie game.
Speaker 3: I don't really care about Indiana Jones, so sure. I
Speaker 3: played that game to completion and I thought it was
Speaker 3: It was okay, it was fun, But like, I don't
Speaker 3: have much affinity for Indiana Jones as an ip I
Speaker 3: do for Wolfenstein, though, so I'm inclined more that way.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: I I love Indiana Jones, but at this point, I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: Wolfenstein's super important to me, So I wish they could
Speaker 1: finish out that Wolfenstein series. I just wanted to kill
Speaker 1: Mecha Hitler. I. You know, it's the I feel like
Speaker 1: we got that. You know, we weren't explicitly promised that,
Speaker 1: but I feel like we were promised that, and now
Speaker 1: we're not going to get a chance to do that.
Speaker 2: And they're not going to put mecha Hitler in Indiana Jones, but.
Speaker 3: On a on a game where he play as a dog,
Speaker 3: and they call it Wolfenstein.
Speaker 2: Wolfenstein, Yes exactly, come on, what said bj Barkowitz.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a dedicated bark button and you can use
Speaker 3: it like it's knock on the wall thing to lure
Speaker 3: people to you.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: You go, imagine playing that game and you get to
Speaker 3: kill Hitler as a dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the dream, right there. No more petting dogs,
Speaker 1: just uh get Hitler with dogs.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like it yep.
Speaker 1: And and he was like a game that really hit
Speaker 1: pretty hard for me. I I I do like Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones a lot, like I said, and that game I
Speaker 1: thought was very well done. But you could also just
Speaker 1: tell now that they have that foundation, a sequel is
Speaker 1: going to be so much better.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: So I kind of wanted, I'm like, where are you
Speaker 1: going to take it next? They have this whole world
Speaker 1: didn't go to h with with Indiana Jones, so I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want, I want to see it. Although I think
Speaker 1: sticking with killing Nazis is probably a smart idea.
Speaker 3: Oh it's coming, I guarantee it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here, Star Wars Outlaws switch to
Speaker 1: release date confirmed and a Pirate's Fortune DLC trailer revealed.
Speaker 1: Star Wars Celebration is happening. Is is Lucy actually in
Speaker 1: Shoot Japan for that?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: She out there? Is? She's doing a panel.
Speaker 3: She's presenting a panel for the new Star Wars game
Speaker 3: coming out of this one. There's another one that they.
Speaker 2: The bit Reactor one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bit Reactor one, which sounds a really really cool.
Speaker 3: I can't looks good. Remember the name of it because.
Speaker 2: It's Zero Company, and you can remember this. You remember this.
Speaker 2: It's z Com instead of x Com, z.
Speaker 3: Calm, and that is probably the star Star Wars game
Speaker 3: I'm most excited about now very quick. She's doing a
Speaker 3: panel with debts for that and we'll be talking about it.
Speaker 3: So if you spot her on the broadcast anywhere, make
Speaker 3: sure you give show us some love. But yeah, she's
Speaker 3: over there. She's in Shoot Japan.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. I'm I'm happy. That's very cool. I've never
Speaker 2: into Star Wars Celebration. I think it's pretty niche. She
Speaker 2: could go the one.
Speaker 3: One in London. They had it in London one time.
Speaker 3: It was great, and that was when I wasn't even
Speaker 3: like super intest. I guess it was post like Force Awakens.
Speaker 3: So I think Force Awakens is where I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I should pay attention Star Wars again, I care about this.
Speaker 3: Yeah and yeah, So I remember enjoying it being there.
Speaker 3: I think I enjoyed other people. I think I enjoyed
Speaker 3: the fact that British people got to celebrate Star Wars
Speaker 3: because most of the time, whenever any of this stuff
Speaker 3: happens events, it's always in America, right, So we had
Speaker 3: the most British Star Wars nerds, which means like people
Speaker 3: dressed up as Luke Skywalker but with bad teeth.
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say Imperials because all the Imperials
Speaker 1: have British accents. But it's like now still looks Skywalker,
Speaker 1: but there is one key difference, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, Star Wars Outlaws.
Speaker 3: It came out of the Senate.
Speaker 2: He's the false oy gov.
Speaker 1: Star Wars Outlaws switched to came out last year at
Speaker 1: the Ubisoft game They have been working on DLC. That
Speaker 1: DLC is called a Pirate's fortune. It is coming soon.
Speaker 1: Let's see, here was the date. Well, the the switch
Speaker 1: to version of the game is launching September fourth, though
Speaker 1: it is yet to confirm whether that will release alongside
Speaker 1: the DLC. And then I don't know, maybe the DLC
Speaker 1: does not have a release date. I put that hereman,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, let's see yes, well, okay, yes here it
Speaker 1: is a Pirate's Fortune. The second of two planned story
Speaker 1: packs for the game will be released on all formats
Speaker 1: on May fifteenth, the UBI Soft has confirmed.
Speaker 2: I thought that was the date. It just slipped my mind. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I Star Wars Outlaws is a game that like got
Speaker 1: okay reviews, but a lot of people just were not
Speaker 1: in the mood at all four because where Star Wars
Speaker 1: is at, I get it. They have tried to like
Speaker 1: make this game matter again. Do you feel like they've
Speaker 1: had like made any inroads to accomp pushing that or
Speaker 1: is this one of those games where it's like, man,
Speaker 1: they're putting a lot of efforts in trying to get
Speaker 1: more juice out of that squeeze, and that it's all
Speaker 1: or not.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's all for nought. I think there
Speaker 3: is enough of a community there that they probably feel
Speaker 3: it's worth their while to produce more content to it
Speaker 3: for it, or at least make good on the content
Speaker 3: they plan to put out there. I think that it
Speaker 3: hasn't made a big splash, despite being a pretty well
Speaker 3: made game and generally receiving positive feedback. I just don't
Speaker 3: think it. I think like it didn't hit in the
Speaker 3: way that they thought it would. And yeah, I feel
Speaker 3: like a lot of the air has been kind of
Speaker 3: like sucked out by the Jedi series, which is I
Speaker 3: think what we're learning here is people don't really want
Speaker 3: to people don't really care about anything beyond being a
Speaker 3: Jedi too much when it.
Speaker 1: Because I'm a Star Wars fann and that's like I
Speaker 1: don't need to be a Jedi anymore.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think the minority.
Speaker 3: I think I'm there on paper, but the kind of
Speaker 3: bounty hunter experience, I've not played a good bounty hunter
Speaker 3: experienced game yet. And even like, yeah, Outlaws isn't great,
Speaker 3: Like I don't really because it just fundamentally comes down
Speaker 3: to like you're playing a third person shooter in a
Speaker 3: lot of ways, right, whereas like the Survivor games are
Speaker 3: a little more up my alley. I just think, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think there's not a lot of room for multiple
Speaker 3: Star Wars games that aren't like exceptionally good. Like even
Speaker 3: Battlefront was like a flash in the pan, like it
Speaker 3: kept going for a really long time and it had
Speaker 3: a lot of drama behind it, but I think people
Speaker 3: fondly remember it like Battlefront two two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, down FRONTO is the one that you had the
Speaker 1: most drama and did for quite a while, and people
Speaker 1: are that's actually pretty good, and everyone's like, yeah, well
Speaker 1: we're we're okay.
Speaker 3: I think I think that having said that, there's still
Speaker 3: a lot of mileage to be kind of like gained
Speaker 3: out of Outlaws. I think there's a I think they
Speaker 3: can I think it has a future both in games
Speaker 3: and outside of games. I think like they if Lucas
Speaker 3: or whoever Disney's smart enough, they would start thinking about
Speaker 3: how to integrate the games into their non gaming worlds,
Speaker 3: Like calcasters should be showing up elsewhere now to kind
Speaker 3: of bolster whatever's make things matter.
Speaker 1: Because I think that was the big that's the biggest
Speaker 1: problem with a lot of the Star Wars stuff right
Speaker 1: now is yeah, people want to like they want to
Speaker 1: spend time watching movies, but they like movies that they
Speaker 1: feel like matter, especially when they're part of a greater whole.
Speaker 1: That's why, like the solo a Star Wars story, other
Speaker 1: than fallowing up last Jedi and all the crazy stuff
Speaker 1: that was happening there, everyone it didn't matter to the
Speaker 1: overall story that was being told, like just like by
Speaker 1: the it's very nature and everyone understood that, so it
Speaker 1: just didn't feel necessary. And I think like crossing over
Speaker 1: and making like making these things interlock a little bit more,
Speaker 1: they can make it matter. I mean that's you know,
Speaker 1: indoor stuff right now is like, oh this matters to
Speaker 1: explaining the world and like what it would be like
Speaker 1: to live in this place and be just a normal
Speaker 1: person trying to scrape by, And that's what's given it
Speaker 1: a lot of juice and a lot of this other
Speaker 1: stuff just doesn't have that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I would like to see like a Kves, right,
Speaker 3: that's the name of the character something like that. Ye, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I would like to see k like pop up in
Speaker 3: something else. I think that would help you. Like the books,
Speaker 3: yeah whatever put out comics that little freak is cold
Speaker 3: as well, that hangs around.
Speaker 2: With yeah yeah, yeah, her little freak freakings and stuff.
Speaker 1: I continue to think, like I said this right away,
Speaker 1: Star Wars Outlaws in five, six, seven years is going
Speaker 1: to look be looked back upon much more fondly than
Speaker 1: it was greeted as. So, yeah, just give it. I
Speaker 1: give it a little bit more time. And I said,
Speaker 1: it's it's not great. It's good, but there's parts of
Speaker 1: it where I'm like this, it's fantastic. And that's like
Speaker 1: the walking around. It's got the best walking around of
Speaker 1: any licensed game ever in terms of just getting the
Speaker 1: vibes right.
Speaker 3: Here's here is my here's my take on Star Wars games.
Speaker 3: They need to stop making Star Wars games where you're
Speaker 3: like a good guy or the or the you know,
Speaker 3: the light side of the story, the good side of
Speaker 3: the story. I think the Star Wars game should be
Speaker 3: more dark side stuff. Like I was way more interested
Speaker 3: in Force and Leash than I was in any of
Speaker 3: the Star Wars game because it's like you're you are
Speaker 3: Darth Vader's homie and you see what happens from that
Speaker 3: point on. Like I would love it if they just
Speaker 3: stopped doing because the kind of like hero story in
Speaker 3: the Star Wars to me is boring. I find that
Speaker 3: stuff really lame.
Speaker 1: That's why I thought Outlaws would work, right, because it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be like, it's not explicitly dark side, right,
Speaker 1: but you're like you're in the underground, the slimy side.
Speaker 1: But you're right that even that it's not working as
Speaker 1: well as I think, Yeah, ultimately likest around with the
Speaker 1: evil powers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, ultimately you're a scoundrel, you know that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff whatever, But ultimately you are a Han solo
Speaker 3: as a good person at heart, whereas like I think,
Speaker 3: you know, Force and Leash, you basically go into that
Speaker 3: game thinking I'm working for Darth Vader. This is going
Speaker 3: to be dope, and it is dope for a really
Speaker 3: long time. And then you know that character goes on
Speaker 3: a starkular goes on kind of like a journey, which
Speaker 3: I think is way more interesting, and that also fulfills
Speaker 3: the angle of exploring parts of the universe in a
Speaker 3: different way that is more intriguing that and Or does.
Speaker 3: Because and is just like Andor is for me, I
Speaker 3: don't not super into and L. I think it's fairly plain,
Speaker 3: but what makes gives it legs like we've never seen
Speaker 3: this kind of side of it, and it's very much
Speaker 3: like ordinary person just making it at work, you know,
Speaker 3: and if you explore like the dark side or like
Speaker 3: you know, you're putting some really shitty positions and that
Speaker 3: is how like your journey goes. I think that's way
Speaker 3: more interesting. Like do do a proper Darth Maul game, Like,
Speaker 3: what is the story of Darth maure We know the
Speaker 3: story of Darth Maul Mama.
Speaker 2: Actual yeah, or animated animated series. Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like it's good. You know, he's in
Speaker 3: the movies, gets divided by two and then pops up
Speaker 3: again later on with robot legs, and like there's a
Speaker 3: lot of material for a.
Speaker 1: Game though, you're right, yeah, in a game that's like ideal,
Speaker 1: ye give you actually, you know, go even more souls
Speaker 1: Born olds Born game with Yes, come on, dude, like
Speaker 1: he's from that, Like he's from that that four Switch planet,
Speaker 1: so you could just do crazy four Switch giant monster
Speaker 1: enemies and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: That yeah, and like if you want to make a
Speaker 3: call mode, you can have him get cut in half
Speaker 3: and you control.
Speaker 2: The perfect all right, tam, I want to thank.
Speaker 3: You your two hosted Dolph model. One of you can
Speaker 3: punch and the other one can only make a kick.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's perfect, Tam, thank you, because I know stars
Speaker 1: is not so much your thing right now. You but
Speaker 1: you entered, humored me, and you gave me a lot there,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna reward you are Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Give me some good stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, well you tell me if this is good stuff.
Speaker 2: But I know it's your your wheelhouse.
Speaker 1: Diablo for Crossover features the greatest manga of all time,
Speaker 1: shot bared at dual Shockers. As a Blizzard franchise, Diablo
Speaker 1: has crossed over with other series owned by the company
Speaker 1: in the past, including overwatching StarCraft two. On rare occasions,
Speaker 1: it has dipped into other franchises, such as the Nintendo
Speaker 1: Switch version of Diablo three, featuring content from the Legend
Speaker 1: of Zelda series, including a couco I never cucko, I
Speaker 1: never know how cocoaturate a couco. The twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: roadmap for Diablo for was looking pretty bare, even though
Speaker 1: it hinted that there would be crossovers with new ip.
Speaker 1: The official Diablo Twitter slash x account has confirmed that
Speaker 1: one of these crossovers is with Berserk. Tam Berserk and
Speaker 1: Diablo Does that sound good to you?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 3: Right there?
Speaker 2: Yep, there he is.
Speaker 3: It's funny, but it's a real cocko right there, Yep,
Speaker 3: it's funny. That emailed me though, like, hey, we have
Speaker 3: a collaboration coming up. Would you like to learn by
Speaker 3: it's with a Japanese ip, and I've replied is a
Speaker 3: berserk question. Damn, how did you like? It's the most
Speaker 3: obvious thing any anyone has ever created?
Speaker 2: And they're like, Okay, you think that's just a good thing.
Speaker 2: I've never read Berzerk. I tend to. I want to.
Speaker 2: It's like, actually online, I'm gonna go to the library. Good.
Speaker 3: I think it's a good fit. I think what most
Speaker 3: people will be reacting to right now is being like, yay, berserk,
Speaker 3: Oh Diablo right?
Speaker 2: Is that what at?
Speaker 3: I don't which I get, but also don't kind of
Speaker 3: think it's Diablo four is a decent game, Like it's
Speaker 3: a good game. I think I am. I know people
Speaker 3: get real upset and edgy about Diablow Immortal. I'm not
Speaker 3: as much into I think I was a bit more sketch,
Speaker 3: but that last Diablow game was good. I think I
Speaker 3: enjoyed playing what I played of it. But with that
Speaker 3: in mind, I think that the world of Berserk fits
Speaker 3: nicely in there. Diablo of four especially, it leans more,
Speaker 3: it leans into being a little more dark then Diablo
Speaker 3: three was three was like we kind of sterile or
Speaker 3: or like more approach, but it wasn't. It didn't have
Speaker 3: that Diablo darkness that people wanted for it. So I
Speaker 3: think there's a little more mileage to work with for
Speaker 3: Berserk there. I don't expect Guts to show up or
Speaker 3: like you know, Cosco or Griffith to pop up. I
Speaker 3: think it's more a case of like, here's a big sword.
Speaker 3: This is the Berserk sword, which is fine, like that's
Speaker 3: that's cool. I'll take that. People who are actively playing
Speaker 3: Diablo will just be like, okay, cool, big sword, good
Speaker 3: stats on it. Whereas if you're like, as a Berserk fan,
Speaker 3: I'm not currently seeing anything or heiring anything that's like
Speaker 3: I'm reinstalling Diablo. Sure, so I get I get it,
Speaker 3: like it's it works, it's cool, and if you're into that,
Speaker 3: have fun.
Speaker 2: Yep. Well that's gonna do it for the headlines everybody.
Speaker 2: But we have a poor question to get into. Let
Speaker 2: me get mine up here so I can get the
Speaker 2: results for you. I'm gonna refresh yes. We asked who
Speaker 2: has more aura, and we gave you three options and
Speaker 2: they were image options. It's Mariachi Wallawigi, Bumblebee Warrio or
Speaker 2: traditional Japanese GARB Mario and fourteen percent with Mario, twenty
Speaker 2: four percent went with B Warrio, and sixty one percent
Speaker 2: are down with the riz that is Mariachi Wallaigi. Can
Speaker 2: you have a favorite answer? That is yeh.
Speaker 3: The problem is the aura on Mariachi Walluigi is kind
Speaker 3: of serial killery.
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, like that.
Speaker 3: That is a like I have done crime and I
Speaker 3: will do crime again.
Speaker 2: Aura right now, Like I'm just between crimes right now.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, you mean there.
Speaker 3: I'm on crime cool down, but I will be back soon,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Uh huh, but I respect
Speaker 3: that is fundamentally the question was who's got the most aura,
Speaker 3: not who's got the most good aura?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Correct, The most good aura is viously Warrior.
Speaker 2: Yes right.
Speaker 1: If you if I saw in reality, yeah, Warrior looking
Speaker 1: exactly like this stresses a Bumblebee, I think I would
Speaker 1: just follow him. Yeah, wherever he's going is going to
Speaker 1: be a good time, So I'm just following him.
Speaker 3: I want to be friends with that guy. That bumblebee
Speaker 3: guy on a bike that is way too small. I
Speaker 3: want to be friends with that person, Mario. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm going to check some registers to make sure you're
Speaker 3: not on more.
Speaker 1: Yeh, all right, well we got our results for that.
Speaker 1: We got a new poll question. We'll get to here
Speaker 1: in a second. Before we do that, Tam, tell people
Speaker 1: what you what you have going on, where they could
Speaker 1: find you on the internet, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3: Apparently I have a tommyache, which means I will be
Speaker 3: spending a lot of time in the toilet. If you
Speaker 3: want to join me, you can find me at mytoilet
Speaker 3: dot com. Otherwise I'm on everywhere at tomorre h follow
Speaker 3: me on Instagram. I started teasing my I feel like
Speaker 3: I've just constantly been saying I'm coming by the twitch streaming.
Speaker 3: I am, seriously, I am. I've just been like figuring
Speaker 3: it all out. I put like a bunch of artwork,
Speaker 3: not clips. I'm like some snippets of my artwork that
Speaker 3: I got done really streams. It looks really cool, done
Speaker 3: by the one and only Jerum. It looks so nice.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: That's all like some of my like holding screen art,
Speaker 3: which is cool. So I'm gonna be coming back to that.
Speaker 3: I'm on blue Sky tomorreh dot com. What is the
Speaker 3: up for today?
Speaker 2: Up? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yes, we're playing rematch the FIFU from the people who
Speaker 1: made Seafoo.
Speaker 2: Rocket League with people we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna get how did you get that? So?
Speaker 1: I did get a code, but that is not applicable
Speaker 1: because this is an open beta that just opened up.
Speaker 1: You have to register your interest on Steam. I think
Speaker 1: they're letting people in. Jan registered his interest this morning. Jen,
Speaker 1: have you been let in yet? Do you know if
Speaker 1: you I guess you might not be able to check
Speaker 1: his code okay, yestion code okay, so but you could
Speaker 1: reachter your interest and you should be able to just
Speaker 1: get in there. We're gonna try to run with a
Speaker 1: pretty full team. Oh, it is not open sean Stan
Speaker 1: is not open, but you have to, like you just
Speaker 1: reagister your interest.
Speaker 2: That's like, how did that?
Speaker 3: I didn't receive an email, which I can only assume
Speaker 3: is down to like some severe racism.
Speaker 2: Almost certainly.
Speaker 1: Yes, but yeah, we'll be doing that and we're gonna
Speaker 1: probably play as a team and go on there and
Speaker 1: challenge other teams and we'll see how that goes really
Speaker 1: looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: I think that game looks fantastic.
Speaker 1: So that'll be later today. But up next is it
Speaker 1: says your game spot after dark. So latest episode of
Speaker 1: the podcast coming up.
Speaker 2: Look out for that.

Speaker 1: on Monday or not.
Speaker 3: We care about Easter.
Speaker 2: I don't, and I was just kind of hoping others
Speaker 2: would so I would get the day off. But okay,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I was told we don't.
Speaker 3: I checked the other day because I despite living here
Speaker 3: for five plus years now, I still don't know what's
Speaker 3: a holiday on isn't.
Speaker 2: I can't remember either, Tam, do again if we.
