WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:14.880 Be Ba. It's the Internet. You're busy. Let's do this 2 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.239 for January tenth, twenty twenty four. For the next hour 3 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:20.399 or so, let me help you sort through the world 4 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.000 of gaming on gamest Mornings Live with Me Jeff Grubb Today. 5 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.960 Nintendo actually responded to switch two weeks and Xbox has 6 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.160 a developer direct coming up later this month with a 7 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.520 mystery game. But first, please join me in welcoming today's 8 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.159 co host the game Mest Mornings. It's Janet Show. Everybody, 9 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.719 jan How are you doing? I'm doing great. It is 10 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.039 Friday morning. There are dregs, but they're also not dregs. 11 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:45.840 It's news. It it's a missing time. 12 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.079 It's a mixture of news and drags. And you know what, 13 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.560 I think that's my preference. I think it's the ratio 14 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.240 that I come to Fridays for. It's like a good buffet. 15 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.320 You need the child items like chicken nuggets and French 16 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.799 fries and a very bad cheese pizza, but also the 17 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.920 ability to get sushi rolls in suspect Chinese food exactly. 18 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.719 You can have like the exciting stuff that adults are 19 00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.840 there for to roll the dice with their tummies, but 20 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.719 you got to have the chicken nuggets, so you gotta 21 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.239 have the chicken strips and the mac and cheese. Yep, 22 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.879 learned that at Disney. 23 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.599 If you see a chocolate fountain at a buffet, are 24 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:27.280 you going to it? 25 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:33.840 I am like like sidling up to it with suspicion 26 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.719 in my eyes, But I probably get over that, and yeah, 27 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.480 I will engage with the chocolate fountain. How about you. 28 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.840 I don't know if I would, but I appreciate it 29 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.439 being there. I'll take the things that need to be 30 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.599 dipped in the chocolate fountain and just eat them raw. 31 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.840 Yeah. It also gives you a good way of like 32 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.799 knowing who's surrounding you. Because the people that are running 33 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.280 up enthusiastically to the chocolate fountain, You're like, all right, 34 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.079 I got to keep an eye on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 35 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.400 make sure that they don't get out of hand, because 36 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.200 these are the people you cannot trust. They have no 37 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.960 sense of self preservation. Yeah, I'm right there with you. 38 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.439 I went the games got done quick last night or yesterday, 39 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.800 I should say, that was a yeah. We saw we 40 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.000 showed up. They were finishing the partners in time run, 41 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.319 and we went down and played some games in the 42 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.879 arcade there. I did the popping music. Is that's what 43 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:28.840 these machines are called? 44 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:29.919 Oh the washing machine? 45 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.360 Washing machine? Yes, yeah, and it was what that was 46 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.560 my jam. I like rhythm games a lot. That was 47 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.080 It was very fun. There's a j Minotti got some 48 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.080 video of me playing, so I'll find somewhere to put that. 49 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.599 But it was Yeah, it was a good time. And 50 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.800 then we went up and watched the entirety of the 51 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.639 Tears of the Kingdom run, which was fantastic as well. Boy, 52 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.199 that's a you know what, that's a good game and 53 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.599 very fun to watch someone just tear it apart. They 54 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.919 did great as well. We got out of there not 55 00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.960 too long after that though, because we had to go 56 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.120 record a podcast that night. But yeah, it was a 57 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.360 you know, a quick, quick jog over to Pittsburgh and 58 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.240 I'm gonna try to make that happen again next year. 59 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.159 Fantastic. I've always wanted to go to a games done 60 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.000 quick and just just see the magic happen. 61 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.199 It is magic, like they are that, you know. The 62 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.039 magic is there's you know, so many very talented volunteers 63 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.919 working behind the scenes making that thing very efficient at 64 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.439 this point, and it was impressive. To just to see 65 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.400 everybody know their job and just take care of things. 66 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.599 And yeah, a really professional operation they have going there. 67 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.439 So just yeah, all of the you know, every time 68 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.400 you at these things start up and these things raise 69 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.759 you know, a million dollars, two million dollars, it is 70 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.560 you could tell that everyone's very proud, like they take 71 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.360 pride in the work that they're doing to ensure that 72 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.159 that happens, and they deserve it, and you know that 73 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.879 it's like this is a like I said, professional operation. 74 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.879 Real quick before we do get started, just want to 75 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.759 you know, thoughts worth everyone in LA. It is time 76 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.400 I glance over there, which I can only glance because 77 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.400 it like hurts my heart to like look too deeply 78 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.599 at it, which I apologize for. I'm a weak person. 79 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.319 But when I do, I am thinking of people that 80 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.639 I know and people that I don't know, and just 81 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:18.600 it just seems devastating. I really like LA and I 82 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.079 see to see this happen to it is just heartbreaking. 83 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.839 So just shout outs to everybody out there. 84 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.319 Yes, definitely, if you have any friends, acquaintance's family members 85 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.800 in Los Angeles, please go and check on them. Friends 86 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.319 of the site in Los Angeles I believe are all 87 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.000 accounted for and okay, I've we've tried to check up 88 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.600 on them. Believe all the homies are okay. But yeah, 89 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.759 check on your homies folks at home. 90 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.680 Yep, yep. I know a lot of them are you know, 91 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.079 displaced and not able to get back to their homes 92 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.399 quite yet, or if they are, it's just starting to happen. 93 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.759 Glad they were safe. Boy, that sounds like a rough situation. 94 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.800 So I just just hope everyone's able to get back 95 00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.920 to normal as soon as possible, which, yeah, you know, 96 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.879 I know it's not going to be an option for many. 97 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:07.040 Also, if you're in the Los Angeles area, please be safe. 98 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.319 Please try and wear a mask as much as possible, 99 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.439 and the N ninety five mask when you step outside. 100 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.079 Air quality is terrible. As someone that lives in northern 101 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.560 California has also had to deal with the fallout of fires. 102 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.319 If thankfully you can be spared from the actual fire damage, 103 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.240 but some of the lasting stuff and more toxic hazardous 104 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.920 stuff can be the air quality. So stay inside when 105 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.000 you can, or try and wear a mask as much 106 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.600 as possible. 107 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.439 All right, let's explain what we do here most weekdays. 108 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.120 I Jeff Grubb will help piece your gaming life back together. 109 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.079 That includes breaking news and maybe even some of our 110 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.319 own original reporting. For all these topics, I'll get the 111 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.319 input of a bona fide expert who will make me 112 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.319 look smart. If you are watching live on twitch welcome, 113 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.519 You can always listen to the show later on podcast 114 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.120 feeds by searching for Game Mess Mornings, or find the 115 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.759 RSS on giant bomb dot com. You can also catch 116 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.000 the show later with chas and timestamps on YouTube below YouTube. 117 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:05.759 All right, we have a lot to get into, so 118 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.959 let's start the morning Mess with Nintendo. Switch To listings 119 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.519 are popping up in retailer databases. Yes, more switch to 120 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.360 leaks today. It's a little bit more fun because Nintendo 121 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.560 actually acknowledged at least one of them. But you know, 122 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.920 not that that amounted too much. Let's get into it. 123 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.120 This is from a multiple places, so I kind of 124 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.560 all mashed it all together here. Recent links from game 125 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:33.800 Stops internal database and French retailer Finac suggest details about 126 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.480 Nintendo's upcoming console, possibly a Switch successor, well, definitely a 127 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:42.600 Switch successor. Leaks inside and leaks include listings for accessories 128 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:47.040 like micro SD cards. These are micro express micro SD cards. 129 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.959 This is maybe interesting because well, for one, they'll be faster, 130 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.560 something I think a lot of people were anticipating. But 131 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.639 those micro SD express cards can technically support up to 132 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.720 five hundred terabyte maybe it was one hundred some odd 133 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.360 terabytes on one card. Not that there's those available like 134 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.279 at like retail. Maybe maybe if you go talk to 135 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.879 like a specialist at one of these memory company storage companies, 136 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.040 they might be able to provide that at an enterprise level. 137 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.079 But eventually, you know, in several years, we might be 138 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.920 getting these little st cards that are very fast, that 139 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.120 work with the switch to and could have you know, 140 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.839 fifty terabytes. Like that's not out of the realm of possibility, 141 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.480 which is insane to me. But yeah, I'm glad that 142 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.079 Nintendo is at least using what feels like a more 143 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.560 next gen technology for it's it's it's you know cold 144 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:43.040 storage there. Yeah, there's you know, also like carrying cases 145 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.439 joy congrepts. The the doc has little indentations on it, 146 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.920 so you can't slide or you can't put the switch 147 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.839 to in a switch one dock. And you know, I 148 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.879 think that's also something most people were anticipating that tells 149 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.439 us that's like maybe there is some reason and like 150 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.959 there's maybe more going on in the switch to DOC 151 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.639 than in the switch one dock, or who knows, maybe 152 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.079 Nintendo just wants to sell you a new dock and 153 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.959 that's the way that goes. But yeah, this is just 154 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.199 been an onslaught parade of leaks from every which way. 155 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.839 We've talked about the mouse thing, like oh, maybe that's 156 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.879 an optical sensor in those are mouse souls as they're called, 157 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.040 like little feet, so the thing can slid on a table. 158 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.639 We still don't know really anything for sure about this system. 159 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.120 We are probably gonna get a lot of definitive information 160 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.759 relatively quickly. Again, like they you know, not it will 161 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.919 happen quickly, because they've said they are going to show 162 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.000 this thing off before the end of March. We are 163 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.720 midway through January. We're talking a matter of weeks now, 164 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.159 but I think it's like we might not get out 165 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.200 of January before like really getting all the information about this. 166 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.559 And in this moment, like it feels like, God, we 167 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.000 know everything, but a lot of the stuff that we 168 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.759 have speculated and tried to piece together and feel good about, 169 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.360 like the mouse thing, as Sean was saying games Mortis 170 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.840 earlier this week could just look absolutely that. 171 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.519 Shit silly very soon. Jan, how are you feeling about 172 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:17.360 all this? I say, more rumors of plenty. Let's let's 173 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.000 build up the hype factor, let's build up our expectations, 174 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:25.919 and let's get weird. And I can't wait for Nintendo 175 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.320 to release something that is still going to be pretty 176 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.399 neat and cool, but it's not going to live up 177 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.399 to all the wild expectations we built up, and we'll 178 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:34.879 all just be. 179 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:38.759 Like, oh, okay, yeah, I'll pick one up anyway. 180 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.480 Yeah, I think that there. You know, I definitely saw 181 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:46.519 some images of a switch to allegedly being turned on, 182 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.399 something that we hadn't seen up to this point. But 183 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.840 as far as I glanced at this, I only looked 184 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.919 really quickly. It looked like it was just doing a 185 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.600 manufacturer's like check, where like when you turn it on 186 00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.600 and be like, you know, a post. It was doing 187 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.960 the post thing for your PC. This thing is going 188 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.600 to post, it's going to turn on, uh, and and 189 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.399 then we're gonna check all the systems to make sure 190 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.759 that they're operational and something that you can the manufacturer 191 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.000 we'll be able to do maybe before they install load 192 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.159 on the operating system, the actual operating system. So maybe 193 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.879 that is the switch toos that are getting out there, 194 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.799 and uh, some some part of the operating system gets 195 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.080 put on these devices at some other point that is 196 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.639 not happening at the point of manufacturing. Uh, It's it's weird. 197 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.840 We still haven't seen anything about software. We haven't seen 198 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.440 anything about the way the system works, which is in 199 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.080 my mind, the most important stuff, the most the most 200 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.480 the more interesting factors about what the switch too is 201 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.360 going to be. Uh So, yeah, there's still a lot 202 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.279 for them to talk about. 203 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.759 Have we seen anything grub about like the future of 204 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.919 switch cartridges or switch to cartridges? 205 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.320 Yeah, I I I'm not sure people are saying in 206 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.840 chat that we have. I have not seen that. So 207 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.240 let me see here. I'm gonna go to a website 208 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.080 called Google and switch to card turches and I will 209 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.600 just say cartridge even though I think they're just cards 210 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.279 because I'm a bad person. Let's see here, I'm click 211 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:07.960 on news. 212 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:09.919 What about chips, let's start calling them chips. 213 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.840 Yeah, they're chips, They're they're yeah. We yeah, we'll put 214 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.759 chips in your deck because we're cyberpunt now, yeah, I 215 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.679 don't know. I'm not seeing much about it, so yeah, 216 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.559 maybe they'll taste better. That's probably what people are worried about. Yeah, 217 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.960 I had to. Uh, I did have that conversation with 218 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.960 my my kid the other day, being because there was 219 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.639 a battery that had the symbol on the package. That's like, 220 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.759 we put the bad code in on this little taste 221 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.279 bad And then she's like, so if it doesn't have that, 222 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.720 does it taste good? Like no, no, no, no, no, don't 223 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:44.200 go thinking that. So that was a really fun conversation. Uh. Yeah. 224 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.320 Nintendo did respond to some of these leaks, though, Uh 225 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:52.120 Nintendo responds specifically to CEES. Nintendo switched to leaks this 226 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.039 from Alex Hopley at Game Reactor at CES despite Nintendo 227 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.240 not being present at the show. We've heard a lot 228 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.039 of alleged details about the Nintendo's which too from a 229 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:06.240 parent from apparent logo to supposed Joycon images, a lot 230 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.120 of this stuff is starting to look legit, but without 231 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.879 confirmation from Nintendo, we're keeping our salt shakers out. Speaking 232 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.799 to the sen Ke Shinbun, Nintendo made a very short 233 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.639 statement on the supposed reveals saying the images and videos 234 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.679 are quote not official. While this might sound like an 235 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.879 immediate dismissal of what we've seen so far, the word 236 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.080 official being used here seems quite key. Nintendo hasn't told 237 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.559 us the images are false or fake, just that they're 238 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.240 not official, which we know as they've not come from 239 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.279 Nintendo itself. In reality, then this has cleared up little 240 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.879 in regard to whether these images are legitimate or not. Yeah, 241 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.759 I mean, just the fact that Nintendo felt the need 242 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.840 to respond is maybe a little interesting. It's more interesting 243 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.320 for the company responsible for this, which is Ginky, which 244 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.639 is gotten a lot of attention because of this, which 245 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.200 you know was the goal, I'm sure, and more power 246 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.440 to them. I have no problem with this. You know, 247 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.799 do your thing. You've got the information, and you don't 248 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.360 have a relationship with like a direct relationship with Nintendo, 249 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.799 that's fine. But Nintendo has noticed, and maybe that is 250 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:12.000 a little bit scary if you're them, right, Yeah, can you? 251 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.000 I is Nintendo in. 252 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.279 A position where they can issue like a cease and 253 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.519 desist or some type of legal action to stop Gankey 254 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.480 from manufacturing switch to peripherals. 255 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.320 Is that a thing that can be done? 256 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.919 Yeah? You know what I I don't in my head, 257 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.679 I'm like, it seems like that would be hard to 258 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.320 do because unless they're using like the switch to trademark 259 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.320 or some entire proprietary piece of information, like you know, 260 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.960 anyone's allowed to make a piece of plastic shape however 261 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.759 they want, right And then if it happens to work 262 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.279 with a switch to, what can we what can Nintendo 263 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.480 do about it? But maybe there are rules in some 264 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.120 territories that I'm not aware of, which is very likely. 265 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:53.600 I'm not aware of most regulations. But it seems like 266 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.120 the way my guess is But because Ginky is behaving 267 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.840 this way and this is you know, it's a professional 268 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.200 company with the you know, access to lawyers and things 269 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.039 like that, I guess is they know that Nintendo either 270 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.399 can't do something or what wouldn't do something because it's 271 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.639 just not worth it to them because they would maybe 272 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:14.480 just lose so that but you know, I think, you know, 273 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.840 in the future, Ganky might want to work with Nintendo 274 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.159 and this might be had. This might be taking that 275 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:19.840 off the table. 276 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.240 Yeah, do you think this is this is Ganky playing 277 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.399 a little bit of chicken because they want to get 278 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.879 ahead of the game. Versus all these other peripheral producers 279 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.000 out there, like a mad cats, et cetera. And if 280 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.320 Nintendo were to pursue legal action, that would kind of 281 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:41.080 confirm specs, like physical specs of the switch to that 282 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.360 Nintendo would still want to kind of keep out of there. Oh, 283 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.879 Kanky's like, you know, they're not going to fire out 284 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.039 on us, So we'll just keep pushing the limits and 285 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.360 Nintendo's gonna have to play ball. 286 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.679 Yeah, I mean, I think that could be part of it, 287 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.679 and I think it's the reality. The reality is likely 288 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.279 the Ganky has a very limited piece of the information 289 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.440 set and they're working from that, and Nintendo might have 290 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.840 more bigger concerns of figuring out where those weeks were 291 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:10.799 coming from in the first place, if they really care. 292 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.000 But yeah, I mean, the people in Shataman noting that 293 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.840 there's rumors that thing gets the thing gets announced next week, 294 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.600 and that sounds plausible to me. It sounds but you know, 295 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.559 we've heard that many times. Of course, we've heard that 296 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.840 many times, and I've said before it sounded plausible because 297 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.399 it did. But yeah, I think that by next week 298 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.799 we could have all these answers, and as we always say, 299 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.440 none of the things that have happened up to this 300 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.240 point will be remembered or mattered. 301 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.440 Yeah, one hundred percent, grub. I feel like Nintendo has 302 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.039 unfortunate timing with real life events. We know that a 303 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.080 certain thing in the United States is happening in two weeks, 304 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.039 Nintendo should just do it next week to get ahead 305 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.840 of the curve before anything worse happens. 306 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.080 In America exactly, Yes, which is like, you know, I 307 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.240 get all the uncertainty, but at a certain point you 308 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.320 just got to act and and go with the go 309 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.919 with whatever's happening there. Yeah. People are also once again 310 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.120 pointing out from Chat thank You that Emron Cohn Game 311 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.559 speeds Owned noted that Nintendo pr is finding a lot 312 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.120 of the stuff going around to be very funny and 313 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.799 that plan that their plans have not changed. And again, 314 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.879 you know, my hunt here is that those plans are 315 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.399 something's happening next week. 316 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.440 So they they're they're making the watch then huh they 317 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:23.919 make that. 318 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.399 Yeah, they're like it's funny because no one's mentioned the 319 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.000 watch except for that jam guy. Uh, and everyone thinks 320 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.279 he sounds crazy. So we got everybody right where we 321 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:31.679 want them. 322 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.919 Oh, come on, come on, Nintendo cut the check. 323 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:40.240 H There's more Nintendo rumors, this time involving Xbox. Xbox 324 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.600 is planning big Nintendo Switch to support that includes Halo 325 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.200 and Flight sim as well as more. This is from 326 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.559 Nintendo Everything. Rumor has it that Xbox is gearing up 327 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.759 for a significant amount of Nintendo Switch support, including its 328 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.200 top tier franchises like Halo. Nate They Hate Nate Drake 329 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.720 weighed in on what to expect during a new episode 330 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.720 of his podcast. It's claimed that at some point we'll 331 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:03.879 be seeing Halo the Master Chief Collection as well as 332 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.680 Flight Simulator on the new console, as well as PS 333 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.839 five Halo and the Master Chief Collection. Excuse me. Is 334 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.359 not a new package, as it's first debuted nearly a 335 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.599 decade ago. Man, it's been that long. But it's a 336 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.720 big release containing campaigns for Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evolved, 337 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.880 Halo two Anniversary, Halo three, Halo three Obst the Campaign, 338 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.839 and Halo Four. There's also a huge multiplayer component with 339 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.839 various modes game types in over one hundred and twenty maps. 340 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.480 In general, it sounds like there will be a good 341 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.680 amount of Microsoft support going forward for the new system. 342 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.559 Nate says the company will be porting and patching the 343 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.799 current switch lineup Grounded, Pentiment and or games which were 344 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.359 previously associated with Xbox and are already on Nintendo Switch. However, 345 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.599 it also looks like they'll be on switch to with 346 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.000 four K support, and cfd's in Highfi Rush could be 347 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.359 possible as well. They're already on PS five, so Nintendo 348 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.559 switched to versions makes sense. And of course early on 349 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.039 there were rumors that cfieves was heading to Switch alongside 350 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:02.039 the PS five version, and maybe that was just always 351 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.799 a mix up that that would be, you know, be 352 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.960 a switch to version down the line. Yeah, this one 353 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:09.640 is like, oh yeah, I mean they've had a lot 354 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.559 of success putting games out on the PlayStation five. Switch 355 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:16.640 is just a matter of getting the development up to 356 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.440 a point where it's like it's easier to report those 357 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.119 games to the Switch and now switch to And for 358 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.039 master Chief, you know, the master Chief collection, that's an 359 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.240 older game that just will could run on Switch once 360 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.880 they probably just launch it on that. Yeah, not too 361 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.920 surprised to hear this, how about you? 362 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.720 No, not surprising at all. It feels like this has 363 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:39.319 been rumbling for what feels like forever now. Grub as 364 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:43.200 soon as Xbox announced that they want to expand game 365 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.720 Pass to be outside of the Microsoft ecosystem, or at 366 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.759 least start releasing their titles on other platforms. It still 367 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.119 feels weird to me, to be honest, grub to the 368 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:59.720 thought that Halo and will be on other platforms. It 369 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:07.240 also feels weird seeing Xbox moving away from having really 370 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.920 pushing the console first and now pushing software, pushing game 371 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.079 Pass very very hard. 372 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:19.799 Yeah, it's you know, I think it's just recognizing that 373 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.720 the previous trajectory, the previous strategy was not going to 374 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:25.759 pan out the way they needed it to, which was, 375 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.720 you know, putting the console first, putting game pass first. 376 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.839 And I think they've they've tapped that out and or 377 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:35.799 you know, burnt goodwill among people who are relying on 378 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.599 the Xbox to to kind of prop itself up. Uh 379 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:40.839 and like we spent a lot of money, We've got 380 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.000 to make a lot of money. Uh. And and I think, 381 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:44.200 you know, in terms of if their goal is to 382 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.559 make a lot of money, they're going towards the PS 383 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.039 five and switch with with video games that they're going 384 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:50.880 to sell to people. It's a good way to make 385 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.119 a lot of money. And so I think this is 386 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.920 going to work. Kind of feels like, uh, you know 387 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:01.640 the way that just things evolve naturally in the the world, 388 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.200 where it's like you just look for the path of 389 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.240 least resistance or the path that provides the biggest return 390 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.240 on investment. That's what capitalism is supposed to do. And 391 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.880 that is going to lead to a company being like, 392 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:14.000 we kept trying to do this one thing where we 393 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.559 kept things guarded for long enough, and now that we've 394 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.400 put things out on these other systems, we are making 395 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:20.839 a lot more money. We kind of have no choice 396 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.920 and we don't feel like do anything else other than that. 397 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.799 So yeah, they're going to keep supporting Xbox that still 398 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.920 makes a lot of money. But yeah, this is just 399 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.759 lines up with their current goals. 400 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.640 Yeah, when you look at it on paper, the switch 401 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.039
