I just decided, like, I'll pick one 50 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.280 that it isn't out yet, so I'm like, I can 51 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:46.759 get ahead of the curve on at least one of these. 52 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.120 Sure, I totally get that.

I got I'm like, I should be getting 78 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.840 ready for the show instead. So I views and some 79 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.680 reviews of Infinity Nikki, which apparently reviews coming after that. 80 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.919 We'll talk about that in a little bit. I have 81 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.240 access to that. We should stream it on the saite. 82 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:11.759 We should just do that. That's how that's what we 83 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.560 should do this week. It's some Infinity Nikki. But yeah, 84 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.639 it's uh, it's kind of all out like trying to 85 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.040 catch up on some games. But that I'm like, I 86 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.600 don't know, I'm really what all I want to be 87 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.759 doing is going back and doing those levels in Astrobot. Yeah, 88 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.040 but I can't. I can never justify that, So I 89 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.399 don't know. Maybe maybe Michael just say, hey, let's play 90 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:33.959 more Call of Duty and I'll jump in on that. 91 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:34.800 Uh. 92 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.439 All right, let's explain what we do here most weekdays, 93 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.560 I Jeff Grubb, will help piece your gaming life back together. 94 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.800 That includes breaking news and maybe even some of our 95 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.839 own original reporting.

As Nintendo gears 106 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.079 up to take down Powell World for its aping of 107 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.199 Pokemon game design elements, another high profile court case seems 108 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.519 inevitable with ten cents announcement of Light of I never 109 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.160 even tried to say this out lout. It's here, light 110 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:37.120 of Motoram, Motorum, Motoram. I'm gonna say, motorva, yeah mad, 111 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.600 a game that looks uncannily similar to Sony's Horizon zero Don. 112 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.480 To be clear, we're not saying, oh hey, that kind 113 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.000 of reminds us of Horizon. This is a more more 114 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.279 a oh my good Lord, what are they thinking? This 115 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:50.920 is outrating? 116 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:51.480 Yeah. 117 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.839 Light of Motoram is one of those cases where you 118 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.079 feel safe to type the words complete ripoff without worrying 119 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.560 about any of without worry about getting a letter from 120 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.319 someone lawyers. Yeah, that's the kind of I'm. 121 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:08.360 Like, whoa, I did, and I this kind of like 122 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.759 glazed by me because I think I saw this and 123 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:17.120 I thought, why is there like Horizon news happening right now. 124 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.720 I thought we didn't have any new Horizon games right now, 125 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.519 or I thought it was like, oh, it's coming to 126 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.959 some other platform or getting some update. 127 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.800 I did not realize it was fully a different game. 128 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.519 Yes, So I just put the image up on the video. 129 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.279 So anyone watching the video feed that image right there 130 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.720 is not of Horizon. That image is of Light of 131 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.199 the Motoram. And you, I don't blame you for me. 132 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.560 I'm like, no, Jeff, that's Horizon. It's not. It's not. 133 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.120 This is there's just several examples here where it's just 134 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.959 so you could see here, like, let me bring it 135 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.680 up here, Kataky. This one's from ten cent. Yes, like 136 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.920 the game. Uh, Emma. I am someone who is a 137 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.920 little bit of a defender of copying ideas from other people. 138 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.959 I should I believe. I believe, like in fashion where 139 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.959 it's like it's a knockoff business, video games thrive when 140 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.160 everyone could just steal ideas from everyone else, and then 141 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.199 occasionally a ripoff comes along where I'm. 142 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:32.279 Like, holy, yeah, so okay, let's let's take the example 143 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:40.680 of Pow World. Yes, obviously this is a Pokemon ripoff 144 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:49.240 sort of wherein there's different game mechanics. It is taking 145 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.279 the idea of Pokemon and it's subverting it. It's not 146 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.040 just doing Pokemon again. That would just be here's another 147 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.680 game where you're a child who, for whatever reason, is 148 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.720 ten years old and being sent off into the world 149 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.160 on your own to fend for yourself in a world 150 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.319 that actually is inhabited by monsters, and you got to 151 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.720 and you have to figure out ways to make your 152 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.079 own disposable income in order to care for your monsters 153 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:13.680 and survive. 154 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.560 That would be a ripoff of Pokemon. 155 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.560 This one has guns, so it's it's different. 156 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:21.160 It's different. 157 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.959 It's yeah, exactly like gorgeran Chat says, it should be 158 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:25.920 predected as parody. 159 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.439 I agree, it is a parody. 160 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:32.639 Oh ye, this is a look I and I'm with 161 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.000 you that, like, I think that there are a lot 162 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:40.440 of really good games ideas because no idea is original. Okay, 163 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.919 there's been too many years of the world. Somebody else 164 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.480 has already had that idea. It's the thing that I 165 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:51.879 would always say in podcasting workshops, panels at conventions when 166 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.879 I would be on them, was yes, the podcast you 167 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:55.639 want to do? 168 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:56.559 You know? 169 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.799 And a lot and largely this was like an anime convention, 170 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:00.159 so I was like, I want to do a pods 171 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.240 about dragon Ball or whatever, right, And I'm like, yes, 172 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.440 there's a bunch of those, but what it's missing is 173 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.720 your voice. 174 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:07.879 Uh. 175 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.840 And I think that that happens in gaming a lot 176 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.519 as well. Of Yes, this game is very similar to 177 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:18.120 this other one. However, it has a different perspective, it 178 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:23.759 has a different uh you know, art style, whatever the 179 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.080 case may be, there's something original about it. 180 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:32.200 This is just a straight Horizon clone. 181 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.039 It looks like, Yeah, so there are some gameplay differences 182 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.000 because hey, it's a mobile game. It's about survival and 183 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.360 crafting a little bit more than Horizon zero done every once. 184 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.360 But there is a Horizon zero done online multiplayer game coming. 185 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.960 I bet that has survival whatever. Though, really they're doing 186 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.200 kind of very similar what they did with Genschen Impact 187 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.120 or what happened, Like, it's very similar to what happened 188 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.120 with Genchen Impact for sure, where like, hey, we're trying 189 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.480 to evoke Zelda Breath of the Wild here, and this 190 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.159 one's like, oh, we're going to veer even closer to 191 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.120 trying to be exactly like the thing that inspac Yeah. 192 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.679 I think that that's the thing is that, Yes, obviously 193 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.720 you look at Genchen and initially it was very much 194 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.799 a Breath of the Wild clone in terms of. 195 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:25.600 Just the way that present. 196 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.080 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 197 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.799 Very first that very first impression was this will help 198 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.320 us get get the attention if people are like, hey, 199 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.159 that looks a lot like a mobile Breath of the Wild. 200 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.639 Correct, correct, But ultimately the game is a live service game. 201 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.519 It's continued to grow and it is. 202 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.200 Not Breath of the Wild at all, Like it's not 203 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.039 a one to one of Oh, and if it were 204 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.799 trying to be that, then it would then it would 205 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.879 just be a cheap. 206 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.559 Breath of the Wild knockoff. 207 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.799 But it's become a lot more than Even from the 208 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.120 beginning of the launch of Genchen Impact, there was always 209 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.480 the oh, you have a team of four characters who 210 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:04.440 you can circle through. 211 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.120 The combat was extremely. 212 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.279 Different, Like there was a lot that was making Gensen 213 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.639 different from Breath of the Wild. 214 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.360 It's the same thing. 215 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.600 There was a Ubisoft game that was it was like 216 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.360 a mythology one. I'm totally blanking on what the actual 217 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.799 title of the game was, Immortal something like that. 218 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.799 I don't know. Somebody in chat I'm sure we'll remember. 219 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.919 But it was a similar thing where it evoked the 220 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.519 idea of Breath of the Wild, this big, colorful open 221 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.360 world Phoenix Rising, Thank you so much Immortals Phoenix Rising, 222 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.039 which actually I thought was a very fun game. 223 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.039 Yeah, I enjoyed it. 224 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:44.559 But again, it's like bringing up a like evoking that 225 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:50.120 idea of something that is familiar, but ultimately not being 226 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.840 the same thing. 227 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.919 Yeah, and I and I, you know, I think there 228 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.039 should be a wide sort of door that developer can 229 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.440 walk through with these borrowed ideas and borrowed aesthetics and 230 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.960 presentations the aditial like first impressions that they're trying to 231 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.559 make by saying, hey, we want you to think of 232 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.240 this game when you see our game, and that door 233 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.559 should be very wide so that people can get through 234 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.320 with a lot of things that are very similar to 235 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.919 other things, so that the maybe the ounce of new 236 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.559 ideas that they do have can have an umbrella under 237 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.919 which to thrive. And I think that probably should cover 238 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.720 this as well. Like I show against Shameless and uh 239 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.600 and I feel a little embarrassed looking at it, But 240 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.600 so what. At a certain point, I think that like 241 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.480 a lot of other mobile games, uh this, you know, 242 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.279 when we look back in five years, if this thing 243 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.840 is successful, it will have also changed in a number 244 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.720 of ways and will be like remember when this thing 245 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:55.279 just looked like Horizon? Uh yeah, So yeah, I mean, 246 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.080 if Sony wants to do something about it, that is 247 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.720 also their right. If I were them, I wouldn't. I 248 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.240 think this thing's already been able to get a lot 249 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.039 more attention just from all this, and you know, good 250 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.360 for them. At a certain point. Yeah, I think it's 251 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.480 you know, it is creatively bankrupt. But again, so what, 252 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.600 I just won't spend my time on it if that's 253 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.559 how I feel, and if other people feel differently, I 254 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.720 kind of don't want to stop them from being like, hey, 255 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.440 maybe this mobile version is more my speed. I don't know, 256 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:27.200 go play it. Yeah, all right, let's go move along here. 257 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.720 Lego James Bond footage allegedly leaks, but don't expect to 258 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.559 see it get made. This is from Darren Bond th 259 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:37.440 Use at GameSpot. Several big film franchises have gotten lego 260 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.159 video game adaptations over the years, and at one point 261 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:44.519 developer TT Games was reported looking to leave players shaken 262 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.559 but not stirred pretty good with a lego James Bond adventure. 263 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.600 A sizzle reel for a proposed game starring the British 264 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.320 secret agent briefly surfaced online, although it has since been 265 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.919 taken down from YouTube. According to their original poster via 266 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.360 euro Gamer, Caeser was randomly leaked on a discord server 267 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.639 less than a minute long. The video shows off action 268 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:08.080 inspired by decades of James Bond films, from Goldfinger to 269 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.039 Casino Royale, as you'd expect from a lego game that 270 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.720 would have been further developed by TT Games. The proposed 271 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.279 project looks like it would have included a cheeky sense 272 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.919 of humor, with one example in the video being Goldfinger's 273 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.919 main henchman Odd Job, having an arsenal of hats to 274 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.080 fling at Bond. Yeah, so it's it's like like that 275 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.039 would have been a very very cool thing, I think 276 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.559 to a certain extent, but also like I don't need 277 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.440 everything to have a Lego game some kind of in 278 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.120 betting on this one. I know. 279 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.759 It's very funny looking at chat right now because there's 280 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:41.759 a lot of talk about Lego misogyny because James Bond. 281 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:42.440 Uh huh. 282 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:49.080 The thing is is, I do I think that they 283 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:53.000 are a good example by which to lead your life, 284 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.440 particularly in regards to the way you treat women and minorities. 285 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.759 Absolutely not. But I love James Bond. I would have 286 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.080 loved a James Bond Lego game. 287 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.840 I could have had fun with that where it's like, 288 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.639 onto my next Adventure and it's just the woman from 289 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.399 the last one, but she like just changes her hair, 290 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.279 changed her hair, so interchangeable they are or something like that. Yeah, 291 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.240 they could have poked fun at that, but a hundred 292 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:18.519 for time. 293 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.120 Yeah, that's the thing is like the Lego games do 294 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.320 poke fun at the thing that they are about, yes 295 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.120 and so and again it's like I would want. 296 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.480 This, but I don't know. Lego does a clever job 297 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:30.960 of like. 298 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:38.879 Making their games kid appropriate by having very subtle humor. 299 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.720 And yeah, I mean I think that it would be 300 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.120 pretty funny. Yeah, I think that James Bond actually would 301 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.200 be a great candidate for Lego Games. 302 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.360 Yeah, it does sound like that is very unlikely to happen. 303 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.080 The Lego group wasn't convinced due to the Bond films 304 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.759 being violent and full of sexual innuindo themes that went 305 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.440 against the family friendly nature of the company. The Lego 306 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.960 group these days seems more willing to try different things 307 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.919 in games, so it could potentially be revisited. Lego Game 308 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.080 Museum on Reddit set in a separate comment, the biggest 309 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.799 barrier for t T would be Warner Brothers forcing them 310 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.039 to stick to owned IP right. That's uh, James Bond 311 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.039 is a Metro you know, MGM, Amazon GM, and that 312 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.360 is not Warner Brothers, at least not yet. Give it time, 313 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.960 give it a couple of years when they're all in 314 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:24.879 their own. 315 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:26.480 Company. 316 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.600 Yeah. So yeah, I believe that Warner Brothers would be like, yes, 317 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.080 let's just stick to the many many IP that we're 318 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.840 trying to promote. Uh. And they've done a lot of that. 319 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:40.320 They've got they've really just ransacked all the DC universe 320 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.759 and Harry Potter and stuff like that. I guess I'm 321 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.399 not sure what else they could do to do a 322 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.679 No Rocky is also MGM, isn't it trying to think 323 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.639 of a Warner Brothers franchise. 324 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.240 Like Brothers franchise. 325 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.360 Yeah, yeah, kind of they kind of gotten like the 326 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.279 couple there and that set. Yeah, so I think that 327 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.600 I would love to ce t t continue to try 328 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:02.360 different stuff. 329 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:02.919 Uh. 330 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.400 At the same time, they probably are like, hey, these 331 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.799 games are taking longer than ever. Look at Star Wars, 332 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.519 the last one, which did very, very well. It was 333 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.440 one of the one of the best selling games of 334 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.119 the year it came out. But you know, that means 335 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.079 each one is a huge bet and you got to 336 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.279 like get it right. And I think the days of 337 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.640 them being able to like take these sort of creative 338 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.039 chances with the with the the model that they're using 339 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.880 is probably over and we just get the very safe ones, 340 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.680 and you know, they start Star Wars and they maybe 341 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.240 do Harry Potter and maybe maybe they go to Indiana 342 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.559 Jones if like the new Indiana Jones game does very 343 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:42.119 well or something like that. But yeah, I don't know. 344 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.359 Outside of that, I think it's unlikely we get something 345 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.720 as even as interesting as James Bond, and I think 346 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:53.240 that's only limitedly interesting. Yeah, we'll see. Uh, what's the weirdest, 347 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.559 like leg or Lego sort of game that you think 348 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.599 you could you would they could get away with, or 349 00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.279 that you would want. 350 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.759 I'm trying to like, well, yeah, I mean I have 351 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:10.319 to give seven credits. Yeah, who said in chat? 352 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.799 I'm trying to I'm trying to. Okay, So we have 353 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.839 Lego Highlander in news. 354 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.960 Okay, sure, oh it. 355 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.079 Was It was Nylock, And I'm sorry if it's nill Lock, 356 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.079 my brother. If you spell Collin backwards, it's essentially the 357 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:28.160 same thing. And we always said Nylock. Uh. Lego Dune 358 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.240 is something that I think you could get away with 359 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.440 because again Warner owns it. 360 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:35.240 Yeah. True, Yeah, Lego Oppenheimer, all. 361 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.880 Right, Lego Lego Barbie piece to. 362 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:43.200 Piece building a nuclear device? Yeah, sure, why not? Uh 363 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.079 all right. Triangle Strategy has been delisted from the Nintendo 364 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:50.160 e Shop. This is from Chris Scullion at VGC.

A post on the official Square Enix 367 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.000 account on Twitter confirmed that the game is temporarily unavailable 368 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.839 and that while it's set to return, there's no confirmed 369 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.559 date for this yet. Triangle Strategy is temporarily unavailable to 370 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.359 purchase on Nintendo Switch E Shop. The message reads, those 371 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.480 who have already bought the game will be able to 372 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.759 download it. We are working on this and will update 373 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.599 when the game is able to be purchased again. This 374 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.759 isn't the first time a Square Enix RPG has been 375 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.799 delisted from the shop. In March, Octopath Traveler was removed 376 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.400 from the e Shop, but it took more than six 377 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:26.720 weeks to return, as is the case now. Score Innix 378 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.000 didn't provide a reason for Active Octopath Travelers delisting, but 379 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:31.960 it was speculated that it may have been related to 380 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.759 score Inix recently acquiring the publishing rights for the game 381 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:39.400 as they lapsed from Nintendo. So basically, what very likely 382 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.839 happened here is Nintendo in some territories, maybe all territories 383 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:47.920 published these games on behalf of Scoring inx on the Switch, 384 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.440 and those rights laps eventually and they revert over to 385 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.839 Square Innix, and then Square Inox needs to publish the game, 386 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.599 like republish the game. I guess maybe that's part of 387 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.480 the agreement what's always way and weird is well you 388 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.599 knew that was coming, right, you do this? 389 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.640 Yeah, exactly? Couldn't you have been prepared for that? 390 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.000 Well? Why why it takes six weeks in that one case? 391 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.039 Is it gonna take six weeks? Again? That's crazy? 392 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.920 Just I don't I don't know. 393 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.039 It's interesting because in you know, both cases this was 394 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:25.119 with uh a Nintendo property or a Nintendo published game. 395 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:28.480 So it does make me wonder if it has something 396 00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.119 to do with a Nintendo Yeah. 397 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.079 Oh, like, and there's possibilities that like, hey, we would 398 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.039 love to have been ready for this. We're actually we 399 00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.279 were legally prevented from doing work like like submitting it 400 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:41.599 for certification or something like that. Yep, So we have 401 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.440
