Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly
video game show here at Geek Versus. I am your
host Elan Musk, and I have with me the Banana Man,
Travis Snell. How you doing tonight, my friend?
Speaker 2: I'm good. We're gonna talk about certain ape later. They're excited.
Speaker 1: You say that to koy way is if we're not
like we're talking about Nintendo, you know what ape we're
talking about.
Speaker 2: Don't go. I just feel like we've many times talked
about like, oh man, you know when they're working on
that new Don Kong game, and you know, today's day
we got to talk about it.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited it's finally happened. Yeah. This side Quay's
episode coming out a little bit early because of course
there's a big Nintendo switch to direct all about the
system and showing off a bunch of games, hour long
full of juice. That orange is squeezed thin. So we're
gonna break it all down and that's it. That's it
for today. It's the one you know when you got
a topic.
Speaker 2: This is good.
Speaker 1: It's all you need for one episode. But what is
their show? I don't join the patron. You get episodes
early and add free. Help us afford a switch to
by supporting us over on Patreon. Yeah, you can leave
a review. You can join our discord where we're always
talking about the switch to and other announcements as they're
happening live and all that fun stuff. We did two
newscasts this week. We covered Daredevil. Uh, so there's a
million things going on in the feed. You can just subscribe,
go check that stuff out. If you're joining us on YouTube.
I mean, this is the rare side Quest Live, so
you can if you're in the chat, let us know.
If you got any questions or thoughts on the on
the direct, I'm trying to bring them in here when
we can. We're gonna go through this direct in order
and then kind of at the end we'll we'll talk
about some of the price stuff and some of those
final discussions. But first off, Travis, I'm gonna throw I
want you to give me two numbers out of five
to one. Uh, you know, as we kind of review
the E three shows back in the day and stuff
like that, just five rating. I want to I want
like just your objective, like how good you think the
show was, and then like your personal hype level. Uh,
just completely separate, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Uh, show wise, I think I could probably give it
a five. I think usually I still I guess there
was at the end. I always said before in the
e three days of five there was always a bias
there where I needed that to have like a stand
up moment, like me, something that I personally love. Right,
I did get that at the end. But sometimes the
show is just so good and well paced, you gotta
do this. I think for the most part, like maybe
I don't even think so about maybe when you got
some of the third developers, you could have like even
short that like a little bit. But I think they
were just trying to get across of how many games
they have when in the past we've had that. You know,
I always bring about the wonderful one hundred and one
or two whatever, like think about that we you launched,
Like there's been many launch lineups where not even just
the lack of Nintendo games is lack of games. I
think they're making sure like hey, this time, that's not
gonna be an issue. I think the pacing was really good.
I think there is decisions and that's where my overall
excitement I think I'm like, uh, it sounds bad, but
I'm probably like a three because I have no I
think I've said this before, even with the rumors and everything.
I think this is great for a certain crowd, and
that crowd particularly is the handheld crowd, which I don't
ever play. I've used it a couple of times. I
think there's also get to it some pricing stuff both
games and consoles that are whether it's real world or not,
it's just like, oh, that's kind of a bummer. And
then there's the one game, but there's nothing where it's
not like a massive lineup, you know, even Mario Kart,
which I love. I'm excited to play it. I'll have
it day one. I'm excited to me and talking about
that where they'll probably be what the kids play first
as far as like their Mario Kart game, but it's
not for me a system seller. Whe I'm like, oh,
I got it. Like it's kind of like the smash
thing where it's like Mario Kart eight Deluxe. It's like
it's older, but it's still like a great game, you know.
Saying with the Mario parties, it's like they don't automatically
like change a bunch of things so I think it's
where I am. It's kind of a three. It's not
like a need. It's more so the only reason I
particularly I'm close to buying at day one. It's just
for that one game, but I'm holding off because there's
just other I talked about my game plan this year.
I want to play older games like I'm playing Doom
this year or Doom and I'm gonna played deaf Stranding,
and even that de Stranding is very close to when
this comes out. So yeah, same, that's where I am for.
But show wise, think they did a phenomenal job.
Speaker 1: I think I'm in a very similar place as you
where I would give Like on my objective side of things,
I think I would give it a five. You know,
we had one hour full of stuff. I think it
moved at like a really good pace. There's a couple
of points that do sort of drag, but it's like
technical things that you kind of need to go through
and a thing like this. We really got the full
showcase of the console, but I still think there are
some fun things they held back, like we don't know
what the UI looks like at all, and so I'm
curious if it's just because it's the exact same as
the switch, or if that's something that they leave and
they can show off down the road, like uh, maybe
what it looks like.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, there's images of it. It looks exactly like
the switch with a few.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe there was even some shots in here. Maybe
I just didn't know it.
Speaker 2: Came after it came out after the fact, like I think,
because people got their hands on it today like other gamers, and.
Speaker 1: I know there was the treehouse stuff and I didn't want.
I want it's a bit of the Metroid treehouse thing.
Speaker 2: So it's very similar the square boxes stuff like that,
So that that's one thing. It is kind of you know,
not moving too far past so which is probably not
a bad thing for them, so right.
Speaker 1: Well yeah it's so it shows off you know, a
bunch of the hardware new things, which you know is
it's a mixed bag for me where it's like there
are like the consoles more powerful than I thought it
would be, but then like also some of the new
features I don't really care about. I'm not gonna like
use at all, So it's I get a little bit
of a mixed bag there in terms of the games though,
I think like that's what Nintendo's all about. That's why
people buy these these consoles, not because they're the most powerful.
This one is pretty freaking powerful. It's for it's for
the games. And I think they had a really good
showing their first party stuff, great support from the third
party things as well, whether that's just like games that
are already released or just like upcoming things that are
going to be coming to this day one or same day,
whatever it is, that sort of stuff. So I think
it was a really good showcase in that way. And
then on my personal hype level, I think I'd go
a little bit higher than you. I'd go with a
four four out of five, a little bit more here
on the hype side. For me, I think a couple
of things I didn't expect, like day one, like GameCube
for example, which we'll talk about, is really cool. I
think for me on the per it's you know, it
might be unfair to Nintendo, but I think in terms
of the personal hype level thing, and if you don't
have Smash in there, I don't think I'll ever hit
a five.
Speaker 2: I just you know, I don't know Smash, but like never,
there's nothing else in the Nintendo Roll Dex will.
Speaker 1: Make because because you could always do more is I
guess the thing you you could be at a four
point nine, but it's like, yeah, you could get me
more hyped by being by throwing in the smash there,
just because that is my favorite game series of all time,
you know, uh, and they have hype trailers and it's
always exciting for me to see what's next in that series.
So maybe that's not true, but this was not quite
there for me on terms of the five out of five.
But like I maybe would go to four point five.
I think it was really really solid, a lot of
hype things in there, so yeah, let's just get right
into it. Then, first off, they showed off a bunch
of Mario Kart World, so this is the new Mario
Kart Mark Cart nine, And yeah, there's a lot of
little things in here, but I think that overall, like
the the main selling point for this is that it's
like open world Mario Kart now where there's kind of
like one large, overworldy sort of map. You can go
in a free roam mode and just like go explore
and look for things. I don't know if there's like
quests or it doesn't seem like it. It seems like you
just kind of can find like shortcuts and things like that.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, I bet they'll put some unlockables there and
stuff like, yeah.
Speaker 1: That makes it around this tree or collect coins things
like that, so you can go get your unlocks. But
then like also with that is in between races now
and a Grand Prix, still four maps, but you'll also
drive from map one to map two and then two
to three and so on, so formose a couple of
other modes in there as well. But that's kind of
the main big selling point. And yeah, I feel like
people were talking so much about mark Art and I like, oh,
what is it gonna do differently? What is like the
new selling feature like and go back to like the
double dash kind of thing. What are they gonna do?
And I think I didn't hear a lot of people
theorizing about like open worldy type thing. I don't think
people are really expect that, And uh, yeah, how's your like,
how does that hit you? Like, what's your first impression
of like that kind of being the big new selling
point of this game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? For me, as just trust Snail does absolutely nothing.
You didn't sell me at all like, I think that's
a cool feature that's very fun, Like, oh, they because
they spend lots of time on these maps, so there.
I think that's just there is a even sense a
nostalgia of like if there's some classic maps in there.
It's a very niche thing, but it is very cool.
So I'll definitely do that for Tras the parent, we thought, oh,
that's awesome because that's a great way to start instead
of you got to always throw them in a race.
That's exactly how we'll start. Because even said in the
director like, oh, people that aren't wanting the competitive don't
get me wrong. We're throwing these kids in the race.
It's gonna happen. But that's kind of a cool thing
where it's like okay, you can just get here and
just even do the controls. Like it's a much better
than a tutorial or saying oh this bun does this whatnot.
And plus they might just want to That might be
a great mode for kids where it's like we don't
want to race, but we do. We'll just want to
explore the world and drive. So I think it's a
very cool feature, but it's nothing that I would I
would be I'll be getting this Mario Kark because I've
not bought Mario Kart in a long time. I didn't
get to Mario Kart eight or maybe we did. I
don't know, maybe we did.
Speaker 1: I can't mean, did you find that on the WU
Maybe I think I about on the WIU.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it is. Yeah, So it's been a while,
but that game's been out for a long time, so
and whether it's the bundle, so I will get this,
but nothing in here. I was kind of hoping for more,
something like you allude to, like a double Dashers, Like, oh,
that's something very cool gameplay wise, but it just seems
like there's some cool features here. There's that other like
race mode that seems kind of fun where it's like
you got to get to this checkpoint at a certain time.
Speaker 1: And knockout tour. Yeah that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seemed fun too. So yeah, again, didn't seem
like this is awful with the same old, same one.
But nothing where it'd be like a day one, especially
with the game prices where they are. But it's something
that when I get the switch to it'll be there,
so which you know, I'll talk about later.
Speaker 1: How long do you think it'll take to drive from
map to map, like on average, Like, is it like
a thirty seconds kind of thing or is it like
three minutes.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's gonna vary, but I feel like
the I feel like i'd put an average time of
like forty five too minute twenty between all the maps.
That's my prediction. I feel like, as you can maybe
be a little longer in some ass maybe some are
just gonna be a quick zoom right over, but I
feel like that I don't think they want to make
it too tedious.
Speaker 1: Maybe you think you can skip that.
Speaker 2: I would say yes, but Nintendo lots of times makes
things where it's like this would be obvious to skip this, right,
I'm gonna say no.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say no as well, because I can't
tell if it does anything for you, Like I don't
know if that like because traditionally and other Mario Kart's,
like your position in your previous race or your overall ranking.
I guess determines where you start the map next time.
But I don't know if like, oh, if you're the
first one to get to the next map, now you like,
I don't I guess everyone races they finish the race, Yeah,
there's and then you all start driving at the same
time to that next map. It's not like, oh, I've
done the race. I did my third lap, but like
some guys way back on map too, I don't start
driving in the next map at.
Speaker 2: This point, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it seems strange that it seems like one
of those things of like, Okay, I don't think they
ever used the term like SSD in the way that
like PlayStation always touts that in terms of like the
but they just talk about like, oh, load times are
gonna be much faster on this the cartridge, much faster,
And so it seems like maybe that's part of that,
is like we rather than like having this big load
screen between the maps, how cool is this that you
can seamlessly just like drive from the map all the
way to the next one without like any actual loading screen.
So yeah, I guess that's part of the selling point there.
And I was gonna say, like I kind of like
having a little break in between races, but I guess
if you finish first, you still get a little break
while everyone else is finishing up. Yeah, and then you
can all drive there together. So I don't know, not
the biggest selling point for me. I think for me,
it was more like the minutia of like little things
in this that seem really cool. Like you we finally
have like costumes in a Mario Kart. Maybe Tour had that.
I don't know, but like have different costume things. It's fun,
like they've had like oh, t new Ki Mario and
like metal Mario or a separate character, but now it's
I don't they didn't actually show those ones, but like
you just have to fun little costumes for your characters,
like those will be fun to unlock and use those
twenty four racers. Hell, yeah, that's great. Have a lot
more people because like now this console is a little
more powerful. There was like a Burger power up and
I don't know if it was like just a map
specific thing. Like I'm like chant it turns Mario into
like a different costume. So I don't know what's going
on there, but I'm curious about that. You can like
grind on rails. There's like wall riding and like wall
jumps and cool stuff like that. So it seems like
the movement will just have a little bit more variety
there as well. Uh, they talk about there's like time
of day and like weather effects, which is something that
like the animal crossing map had that in Mario Card eight,
but now it's I don't know if it's gonna be
like based on like real world time of day or
real world season or whatnot. It'd probably be random. But
I think that's a really cool thing. Like each of
the maps will just feel like that, a little bit
more variety in that way. And I don't know if like, oh,
it's snowing now, so now it's like a little bit
more slick than it normally is. But I think that's
a really cool feature. Sure I wanted to get because
as someone who loves Diddy Kong racing, I feel like
they've had this before where like that you go into
like your hover mode and yeah, you had your like
parachute in Mario Cred eight, But now it seems like
you're kind of have like a bit of a full
on plane. And I saw like a daisy was in
a boat, there was a snowmobile. Like I don't think
you pick like, you know, a plane for a race
in the way Diddy Kong has it, but it seems
like a little bit closer to that in terms of
your vehicle will actually change either based on the map
or just like the section of the map. What do
you think about that?
Speaker 2: I like that because that's the which they're probably smart
to not call this like Mario Kart and I or
what not. It's smart to call it world. Like the
thing is there's it's perfected pretty much, so there's only
so few things you can change about Mario Kart game, right,
Like even that's where it's like I want to double dash,
but it's like I understand when they sit down and
go like what could we do? And oh, we haven't
done this before, so the same thing of like even
I think it was eight when they started to introduce
like you could change the different wheels and the different wings, right,
like you could really create.
Speaker 1: Your eighty seven maybe one, but yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think somewhere in there, right So, I think this is just
another step of let's give people more options because you
can make more tracks, but like you can't really. I'm
sure there's always a new character too you can add,
but the base group is there, right, Like there's a
niche audience that always like oh they're a dry bones guy,
or they want this boo or whatnot. But most people
are fine if they're just gonna play at the main
Mario family. So like you can't change that. You're not
bringing in other characters from different franchises like a smash,
you can't even change it that way. They can do
the items as well, Like I saw one item where
Toad was looking massive, like you got some sort and
he was just running over people. I like that, So no,
I enjoy that, And yeah, you're right with the playing vies.
I got a little bit of dedcon because yeah, I'm
a big fan of that game. But I think that's
smart because again that's one of the few things you
can add on. It's like, okay, what more can we
do with vehicles? And you know here we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then as you mentioned, like it's okay, it
seems like we in the past, especially Mark Artie, like
we got a ton of maps from previous games. That
was like the whole point of the DLC is bringing
in all those other maps, and so like I'm guessing
every marcard has that, where like, yeah, half the courses
are new, half the courses are you know, remakes, remasters
or just straight up the one from a previous game.
And so it seems like we are getting some of those,
Like I saw like a moomoom Meadows, which is, you know,
a classic one from in sixty four, but like it
seems like it's maybe kind of integrated into the overall
world now, right, because everything has to be part of
this world, and so it seems like maybe they even
add elements to it. So I'm kind of excited to
see which ones they take and remake and integrate into
the world part of it. And and I mean mostly
I feel like what I was seeing here was straight
up new maps, which is cool too. I really like
some of the themes that we had going on there,
so curious to see how that how that works because
it is fun to have some of those original ones
in there. Oh, but you have to But also, like
you know, I can just play Mario Card eight on
the switch To and like access almost every single map
that's ever been made, so it's like I don't really
need them to be in here too, I guess, And
who knows, they'll probably do like DLC for this game
for years like they did for Mario Car eight as well, right.
Speaker 2: Especially because it's a launch game for switch To, And
I feel like it's it's gonna be getting stuff for
almost the entire run of the console life span of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so although it could be harder for them
to because they really trickled out that DLC and now
since they have the world element of it, maybe it's
harder to do that because you have to make like
a huge open world and like do you stick it
on like Pangea style onto this continent or like what
do we do we integrate it.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, another section of you know, there's a bridge,
there's this body of water whatever that you click on,
so mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah uh. And then you always fun to see some
new characters in there. Obviously twenty four racers now, I
guess they've had twenty over twenty four in the past,
but it's fun to see some new people in there.
Like you have the cow for Mummows is now a racer,
which I love. I think that's super fun because that's
just one of my favorite maps of all time. You
have like the b character from Galaxy. You have like
the guy who like shoots the spike out of and
like throws that people the spine. I think they're called
like the Little Red Guys. So you get like a
little bit more of the Freak Show characters, which I
always love to see in there, and then hopefully you
have like all the seems like most of the standard ones.
I don't know if I saw like my boy dry
Bones in there, but it's cool that there's like it
seems like there's quite a few new characters, and like
there was already a lot in Mario cart eight, so
it's cool that there is somehow finding little corners of
the Mushroom Kingdom that we haven't had playable characters from.
Speaker 2: Well you have to this point too, like like I said, what,
like there's no major characters left, so you gotta go
for the weirdos like you said, so exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this game is getting a dedicated direct on
April seventeenth, where we're gonna see more about it. I
feel like I saw everything I needed to see about this,
but I'm curious see what other you know, details they
have in there as well. Uh. One thing I was
really curious about when I theorize this, I think on
a cast with Taylor is this is before it was
confirmed that there was most controls as a functionality for
the switch to and I was like, okay, if Mario
Kart eight is going or if marik Cart nine, because
that's what we saw in that first trailer thing we
saw that game in there. I'm like, that's probably be
a launch time. Whatever their launch title is going to be,
they want to have mouse controls being a function of it,
and I didn't see anything in here that seemed like
it would have mouse controls to it, So maybe that's
something they say for the April seventeenth direct of like
you can drive the mouse around. I theorized back then
that maybe it was like a map maker kind of thing.
I think with the world part of it, maybe that's
harder to do since everything's supposed to be interconnected. So
I don't know, do you have any theory off the
top of your head of like how they could use
a mouse functionality in this game.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it'd be awkward, but it could there
be something like with the items, like if you were
to shoot a shell, like because I feel like that's
too hard to do at the same time, but if
you shoot a shell and you're like directing at a
certain location, you could just do that with your sticks
though though right in.
Speaker 1: The red shell, like you have to actually guide it
with your mouth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which that could be too much to happen at once, right,
you're driving, trying to focus, and you're also in the shell.
So I thought maybe items, but that's really like maybe
some directional stuff like when you're flying, But I don't
know if there's much for this game you can really
do that unless there's something in the open world stuff
we don't know about, right, like just a little some
changes the way you can move. So that's something I'll
preserve judgment for because that could make sense where we
don't know how that works at Sandbox.
Speaker 1: So gotcha. Yeah, So yeah, we'll only have to wait
a couple more weeks to get more info on this game.
There's another thing with this game. I'll leave it for
later though. I guess the release date though for this
is launch it with the Switch, which is June fifth,
as I'm sure everyone and the internet has seen at
this point, so coming out very soon. We'll talk about
that more in a little bit though. Moving on to
I guess some features and hardware stuff. This is the
next sequence here, so some of the basic I guess
new features. So the Joycon two has a sea button
on it, which I don't know if they said what
stands for it sounds for like communication.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Is it chat? Yeah, the chat? But yeah, you're right. Yeah,
So this is lets you connect with your friends and
set up voice calls or set up like these video
calls and other things. And then you know, along with that,
there's like a microphone but into the switch, which apparently
can hear you from across the room even if your
roommate is ripping up a smoothie in the background. So cool,
right on, you know, it's pretty much Discord integrated into
your switch, which you know, this is one of the
things where it's like I could not care less, I
will never I would be surprised if I ever clicked
that button once other than just like see what it does,
or like I will use Discord or I most of
the time if I'm playing, like I don't really play
online Mario Kart with my friends. I mostly play in person.
So maybe we could do a you know, Patreon Patreon
game night or something using the chat button or something,
but I think we'd probably just use stream Yard or
discard Discord. So you know, it's just one of those
things like Nintendo is always behind the times on certain
things specifically like online internet type features, and this is
one of those things where it's like this is the
least exciting for me. This is like, this is like
the Switch the Switch trailer with like them being on
the rooftop playing with their friends. This is like that
moment of this director.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's this is definitely just like and we'll
talk about this more at the end with the price
and the day and everything like that, because I'm very
curious how that's gonna do. This is very much the
We're just happy to have a switch that's more powerful,
so what could we add? And it's like, well, we
could add this chat feature. And it's like, even I'm
discord to me. It's like like we had this in
two thousand and four with PlayStation two and you know
Xbox thirty sixty. It's like like, obviously those are very
dated and so it's refined now so much easier. But
it's just like this is probably I'd have to see
them all, right, but I think I could probably say
the bullet at least top three of most useless things
the consoles that were provided at the time, right, because
if you ten years ago, even fifteen, we said oh yeah,
and it tells about chat option. That makes sense. But
it's like once COVID happened, there's a lot like all
the time on our podcast we talk about our parents
or the GA and stuff like that, But when COVID happened,
people learned how to use Skype and zoom and discord
all that stuff. Right, that made everybody body go, oh,
I need to do this because whether it was talking
with Famia or just stuff like doing game nights, watching
movie and it's like, you know, oh, I got to
do this same thing with us. We had to learn
how to cast, Like we went through many things of
obs and Zoom and Google hangouts all like I've never
done a Google hangout before and all this stuff. So
COVID kind of changed that for everybody. So just like
this is like the worst time to introduce. We're like
we all know how to do this at Like, I
don't think my grandm action knows how to but just
the especially like my grandmalls to do this, So I
will never.
Speaker 1: And everyone has a phone at you know, everyone had
a phone like ten years ago and now everyone everyone
has a phone, even if you're like five years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll never use this. It's cool that you can
have like add a little video next to your character
and some stuff. I thought it's very strange of like
the oh and you can show what's on your screen.
It's like, how am I going to be looking in
the game and plugging that? Just yeah U feature?
Speaker 1: Does Gwen have a cell phone yet?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: When is she gonna have a cell phone? Have you
thought about that? Have you talked about that that?
Speaker 2: I think it'll We haven't really talked about, but I
think it will probably go to the point once they
start walking to school or busting without dropping them off.
I think because to keep in contact of where are
you home and stuff like that, to find my phone.
So we want to avoid it. Even with iPads and
games like it's we have other family members where it's
like their kids are on all the time, like they
get time limits ends usually an hour, hour and a
half or something they got to earn it. We're not
those parents at oh, you're home. And even then Gwenn
wants to buy her own iPad, but we've told her
like if you buy your own iPad, that doesn't mean
it's just you, Like there's still time limits. We don't
want the you know people pull there, so yeah, they
will have limits, but yeah, the phone will come probably
probably next few years. I'd probably more the end of
elementary school, I bet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. So another hardware thing that they're selling
day one here is the camera, a camera feature which
connects with this chat thing. I guess if you want
to use this with the chat like for this chat
feature stuff, you need Nintendo to switch online, although they
said that there's like that's not gonna be the case
until April of next year, so they're giving like pretty
much a year or like nine months whatever of run
time for people to try out the features. These online
features in that webcam thing where you can see your
friends on the screen and whatnot. So anyway, that's a
new thing as well. And then lastly, or not lastly,
but another thing here in this section is a game share,
which is a new feature where if you are I
don't know if you have to be on the same
internet connection or just like locally Bluetooth. Not sure how
it's connected, but if you are in the room with
someone else who has a switch and you own a
game like Mario Kart, your friend doesn't own Mario Kart,
you can game share it with them, so you can
I guess stream I guess they would be streaming it.
I don't think they would like be sitting there downloading
it for two hours and then playing together, right, So, yeah,
you can play a game locally together. I guess the
use case for this is if you don't have a
TV or like, I'm trying to think of what game specifically,
but when this came up, I was like, I can't
think of a single use case for me to ever
use this feature.
Speaker 2: No, because it's just like, why don't you just link
up the controllers to the switch you have and we
just play that way, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, yeah, so blossing pets from that, So now
we get into some of the more actually juicy things
that I cared about more, which is, and we kind
of knew some of this already, but of course this
switch is bigger. They said it has about double the pixels,
which is, you know, it's always you know when you
have like a tall glass and a short glass, and
it's always you know, our depth. Sometimes we can't understand
object permanence. Babies can't understand that kind of stuff. I
was like, Wow, it's double the pixel. That's actually kind
of crazy maybe said almost double whatever is the screen
is quite a bit bigger. There's a lot more screen there,
so that's cool. Uh, And like the the whole thing
is bigger, like even like the the the control sticks
are a bit bigger, the sn R sl are whatever.
Buttons are a little bit bigger, which that's great for
me because when I saw that initial trailer and it
was the same joy con, I was like, I hate
these controllers. They literally give me a hand pain. I'm
maybe a little bit more convinced that these will be
bit better, just because the buttons are a bit bigger,
a little bit more adult like, So maybe that'll feel
little bit better in my hands, which is a good thing.
I'm gonna blaster a lot all these things. You can
pick out the things that are interesting to you. So
this thing can do up to one hundred and twenty fps. Insane.
I did not expect that at all, considering some of
the games on Switch one, we're struggling to do thirty.
I thought, like, just clean sixty is where we're going.
So shocked to see that one hundred and twenty fps
in handheld them out for some of these things. Crazy
better screen HDR all that it's still LCD, but it's
a better screen, you know, is what they say. Yeah,
rather than having the janky like sliders, now we have
the magnetic connections. God, so that's thank god.
Speaker 2: That's probably my biggest thing because that's how you charge them, right. So,
and I had a live in household where we're you know,
four to five people playing. You're charging these ones off
once not And it's and especially because same thing I'm
matching like many other people in the world, I have
mine in a TV stand, so there's a door. Yeah,
it's not just out in the open, just for safety reasons.
So it'd be so nice when I have my little
cubby and I just go in there and snap and
unsnap and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, just like I I can't tell you
the amount of times where I've gone to you pull
the joy cons out of my switch or like you know,
sink someone else's joy cons onto my switch. But then
because of the slider and thing, it like pulls the
switch out of the docks. Then it kicks off the
TV for a minute and then it has to reconnect it.
It's like such a mess. So hopefully this snap like
from the sides, and it's more from the side rather
than top down. Hopefully, like the sinking is a lot better.
And I hope they fixed the whole UI of connecting
controllers and putting people on like port one, two and three.
Oh my god, that's so horrendous on the switch one,
So hopefully that stuff is a little bit smoother this
time around too.
Speaker 2: It's not great. And yeah, what we were telling about
the one twenty, I guess I wasn't surprised just because
kind of like my theme here of this console, I
feel like they very much know though, the people that
are the handheld gamers, that's who this is for, and
that's where we really got to go, because I think
they did say, like when it's docked, it's four km,
that's great. But I think once I got the HG, like,
these games still look great. I'm happy to have Mario
games in four K. I'm sure they'll look very fantastic.
But I think that's why I wasn't surprised by some
of those additions on the handhold stuff, because I just
feel like that's gonna be early adopters of people that
travel lots or just whatever. Like the complaints you've had
are sick and tired of playing with this size of
screen or controllers or buns or whatever it may be.
So I think that's why I'm not surprised with the
hand out side stuff. I think they have a lot
of good features or updates that have made it that
you are hard not to be tempting, right, Like I
talked about a couple of weeks ago, it's all quality
of life stuff, but just little stuff like from every
year I PLAYDRTY and GM mode. It's like, even if
it's a few Mior twitches, it's like, oh, I'd really
like to have that feature, and now I'm gonna go
spend one hundred bucks. Now this is like a much more.
But still I think that's how you get those people
that have especially early early adopters of the switch. I
think even our discris so I copeel like Clay Manny
who I think the last couple of years they're just
gonna switch or a like I'm like no need for
this right now. But the people that have been there
since i'd say you're one from here two, they're very
much ready. So that's where you know it makes sense.
Speaker 1: So yeah, especially if you didn't upgrade with like the
OLED or anything else. Yeah, most functionality, as we talked about,
I still think we really need to maybe get like
another direct really showing off like justification for like some
seeing more of that. I mean, you know we've seen
a couple of games, but uh, yeah that that if
you know, we kind of heard about that and it
is like official now. I'm curious to see like how
that feels. It been around the UI and like the
store and whatnot. But and yeah, like from this thing
to games from it, It's like, Okay, I guess like
some of these make sense, like Metroid maybe that could
be really cool, but I'm not super sold on the
most functionality at the moment, seems like I don't know
if I don't know if I really needed this. I'm
curious how well it will work like on you know,
if you're like on the couch and you roll it
around on the couch, Like, is that gonna work well
or do you need like a hard surface for it
to like work nicely.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What I just don't want is because I know
there's lots of people that have been wanting this, I
just don't want to get to the point of like
Mario Galaxy, where it's like, oh, you have there, there's
sections were here, it's motion controls. I don't want a
game where we get to cause there's a couple of
games they showed that was primarily looking like, oh, you're
playing with the mouse, like it was like one of
those weird tech games that we'll talk about. But that's
what I don't want is I don't want some big
game where it's like, oh, now here's the mouse feature part.
I don't want that. Like I know people, some people
are very excited about that. I'm happy, which is playing
with regular controllers when it comes to the switch, but
we'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on top of that, we got you know, a
better speaker, a better stand to the stand. Thing's funny
to me, it's like I've used the stand on the
original switch, maybe once or twice, but maybe I've only
used it once or twice because it was so bad.
So maybe I'll get a little bit more use out
of this now that it actually seems to be a
little bit more substantial, Like I could see myself lying
in bed and like propping it up on my lap.
Now I guess we're the previous thing. But there's no
way it would have been able to do that with
a Jenkins little piece of plastic. So that's cool. It's
got two USB ports, you know. They talk about how
this is like mainly for the use of connection with
the microphone, but I'm curious to see what other uses
there are for having the two USB ports on. There
way more storage from thirty from thirty two to two
fifty six, but also how much bigger are these games
going to be? Like is it going to be an
equivalent amount of space on your switch?
Speaker 2: Especial third party games too, Like I don't get to
like what it is. Yeah, Like that's why too. So
like you said, it's it's interesting. We'll see that the
balances depending on what you do, right, Because I'm somebody
I don't play those third party games, but I understand
why somebody now if they want to try and make
this their only console, especially being on the go, play
album rings wherever. But for me, I think I'm gonna
be okay because I just buy Nintendo games and that's it.
And I think, just finally now, I think just within
this last year, I had to buy SD card and
I've had my my switch since the Marvel Alliance or yeah,
Marvel to alliance. So but if you're planning on playing
all third party games or a lot of them, I
can see how it's gonna stack up.
Speaker 1: So, and they did talk about how you need a
specific micro SD card or SSD card if you do
want that extra storage because it is like the higher
Like I don't think they ever use the word SSD
in this, but I think that's what it is. Uh So,
like you know, faster loading times essentially.
Speaker 2: The express what it was.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so maybe they maybe have they have like
their own little Nintendo copyrighted name for it or something
like that, but they kind of showed off like certain
ones that you'll need. But two fifty six should be
plenty if these games are the same size as they've
always been. But like I just said, like they probably
will require more skate space because they're more intensive. We're
doing up to four K resolutions, one hundred and twenty frames,
all that kind of stuff. So yeah, four K resolution
is there, Full backwards compatibility confirmed, which I think we
kind of already knew, but it's nice to have. There
is like the slight exception that I don't think they
said that, but I think they just mean, like weird
things like ring Fit Adventure or you know, things like
that that are like like Nintendo Labbo stuff Like obviously
that stuff would maybe not work, but like.
Speaker 2: I think anybody like, oh my god, I was really.
Speaker 1: Wanting I mean, Ringfit is probably a bummer for some people,
but like, yeah, whatever, it's not the the world. So yeah,
I spewed off a lot of stuff there, but any oh,
I guess yeah. Last thing for me on just like
that tech hardware stuff is the one hundred and twenty
frames thing, Like I never expected that for this. I
don't think I ever would have expected that would ever
do one hundred and twenty frames console. I just feel
like that's not what they're there for. Is that's cool?
But I'm extra salted here. So my TV. I got
this TV one hundred and twenty frames four K beautiful,
and then it broke and so I know I was
still under warranty. Cool, but they didn't sell that TV anymore,
so I had to get a different TV, And I like,
I could have got another one hundred and twenty frames
one if I spent a couple of hundred dollars on
top of my warranty thing, but I was like, you know,
what so far, Like none of these games are really
using one hundred and twenty frames. I don't really need this,
and so I went for the non one hundred and
twenty frames one and since then Spoilunky two got one
hundred and twenty frames patch on the PS five, which
I really want to try. And then this freaking console,
which I think would be so cool to have for
certain select Nintendo games and like maybe Smash Down the
Red or something thing. But like, I'm not gonna buy
another TV for another well until this one breaks or
like ten years from now, so I'll just never really
get to use that. So that's an Intendo It's fault.
That's this annoying as fucking LG TV that broke them
his fault. But I'm just I'm extra salty about that
because I just never would have expected that Intended would
do this. So rest of them, I think this is
way more power in this thing than I expected. I
thought they were just gonna be like people were saying, Oh,
this is gonna be like it's gonna catch up with
the PS four generation, but like, this is, as far
as I can tell, caught up with Series X and
PS five, right if it's SSD one hundred and twenty
three is four KA, Like it's right there with them
at this point.
Speaker 2: And like you said, I don't think that's like, that's
not what made the switch successful. You know, that wasn't
the reason why people people don't buy. That's what the
whole pitch was to make the Xbox successful, right was.
I'm not saying it's Xbox little, but you know what
I mean. They were selling on graphics and looks and
visuals and low times and stuff. So it's nice that
they're up there. Also, we've talked about before that there
is like multiple since the switches long, multiple changes in leadership,
and I feel like this era is definitely more Nintendo's
always weird, but I do feel like this is probably
the least weird they've been in their history. I feel
like they are a bit more conscious of Okay, we
want to be making the right moves and we want
to be calling on it. Switched to like they I
feel like it is more less savvy and business savvy,
and that's something where it's like, hey, can we get
this these type of features?
Speaker 1: So makes sense to me, and like Nintendo is the
kind of freaking company that will release I'm picking a
game off the top of my head. It might not
be true, but like they'll they'll release Metro dread that
settings options is like master volume and like music volume,
and like those are literally the only two settings in
the console or like for the whole game. It's like
where give me some options, like customize my experience a
little bit. And so I'm surprised that, like they said
with the Metroid example, like you can choose your mode.
You want four K resolution mode or do you want
one hundred and twenty frames mode? You can't have both
at the same time, just like you know PUS five
or Xbox have. So I did not expect like that
just is a very anti Nintendo thing for me, for
them to like not curate the experience one hundred percent
how it's supposed to be, but instead to like give
options to the player, like do you want better resolution
or do you want better performance? So yeah, I think
it's once again like just the change of the guard
the people who are and like I've never seen these guys,
the three presenters here, I've never seen these guys before,
but like there are new people in these in some
of these roles at Nintendo and things have changed in
recent times, and I think that's definitely showing here where
they're going for more powerful console. They're giving you a
bit more options as a as a player in some sense.
We'll see if the game's back that up, but yeah,
I think it's it's pretty cool to see some of
this stuff. So I'm impressed by the physical prowess of
this of this beast here anything else on the on
that hardware stuff? Do you want to move on to
the next game thing?
Speaker 2: That's everything.
Speaker 1: So if you want to experience some of these new features,
you can check out the switch to Welcome Tour, which
is a download game where you can be a little
guy and on a little on a little switch and
walk around and like see the history of the magnetic button.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then there's like little mini games and stuff in there,
kind of like a one two switch sort of thing.
But the most deranged thing of all time is that
this is a paid game. Yeah, real fuckingdiculous. There's so many,
so much nickel and diamond on this console. We'll talk
about the price stuff at the end, but the fact
that this is paid absolutely deranged. I I can't I
that is super whack to me, I hate that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. There's two things I got on that one.
There was one I can't remember it was, but it
was like someone that was used to work at a
not IgM but something like that, like some whatever. But
you talk about there's a story he heard about how
multiple times the last two consoles that Nintendo had wanted
to do something of this, but Reggie was really for like, oh,
let's give some sort of experience. It's cheaper free, but
Nutendo didn't like having hard work out there. That was
you know, not being paid for. And now Reggie has gone.
That's where you can see that, and that is uh,
you know, Nintendo doesn't discount many games, but I could
see this be a game for a couple of years
being dirt cheap smell. But this is yeah where I.
Speaker 1: This can't be more than like ten bucks, but they
might charge like thirty bucks for it.
Speaker 2: I don't know whatever it is. I just don't know
who buys it. That one doesn't have just unlimited amounts
of money or a kid accidentally buying and they a
parent's big ah. I'm stuck with it, like yeah, very
They use the word tech demo while they're previewing it
and like it. To me, it just feels like this
is something that's baked into the console. This is like, yeah,
this is not like ash Show where it's like, oh,
you had Ashle's Playroom for fun and then we made
the real game. It's like this, It is like Ashle's Playroom.
This should be like what is in the console.
Speaker 1: So very Yeah, that example makes it especially egregious when
you just look at what PlayStation did there and how
generous that felt, even though that's like, of course baked
into like the price of the console is the fact
that you're getting this built in game. But yeah, just
it just yeah, it just it's it's kind of grimy
to do it this way for what looks like fucking
rinky dink experience like this does not compare to what
astros play rooming look like in terms of visual quality
and all that. So uh, savage savage move there. Okay,
So next up they talked about how there's you know,
different types of games. There's just like Switch one games
they can just play they switch two games which are
switched to exclusive games Camp play on the switch one.
Of course. Then there's also switch one games that are
going to get paid upgrades. So you know something that
we've seen on other consoles where it's like, okay, you
know what's it called? Days Gone is getting this new
update for PS five and you can pay ten bucks
to upgrade if you own the game, or you can
just buy the new game for what is probably like,
I don't know, ten dollars more than that game was
back in the day kind of thing to access, like
the new features that are that are here, and they
showed off some of the games, so there's first of all,
Mario Party. Jamboree is getting. Jamboree TV's coming out July
twenty fourth, which is implementing most controls, has some new minigames,
looks like it implements the camera into that you can
like have your friends in the game and you can
see their reactions in real time, which honestly, that does
look like a fun like I'm not gonna buy a
camera to have that experience, And of course it like
looks better in a trailer then I'm sure it was
in real life. But you know, sure, fun little update there.
Jamboree TV. That's the thing that's coming out. Not what
I expected. I didn't really expect Mario Party to get that,
but it seems like they want Jamboree to be like
the best Mario Party of all time, which is which
is pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that one makes sense to me because we're
probably not getting Mario Party for a while on the
switch to as this one just came out recently, right,
so it makes sense to bring this over some new
stuff and there you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that one, you know, something like that. To me,
that seems fine to like charge a ten dollars upgrade
to get Jambureey TV mode. But what feels a little
more grimy for me is Breatha Wild and Tears of
the Kingdom running better and that's it. And then like
that you have to pay extra four as well. And
then there's like an app that you can like down
on your phone and will like help you. You don't know,
but it's like once again, like IGN's map I Guarantee
You is better than whatever this fucking Nintendo app thing
that they have where you can The one cool thing
though with that app that you can like share a
QR codes of your in game creations so people can
download your monstrosities that you've made of like some weird
pirate ship or whatever. That's that's cool. I think it's
extra savage that that's like something that's the kind of
locked behind this paid upgrade. So yeah, that one, you know,
that's not DLC. That's I guess it kind of sort
of is. But yeah, that's that one. Seems a little
little greedy. Yeah, yeah, I don't love that.
Speaker 2: No, it's kind of like what you said. They're will
come up a few tons, but they're definitely definitely trying
to squeeze a lot out of people.
Speaker 1: So yeah. And then Kirby in the Forgotten Land, which
you know, a couple of years old now at this point,
but it's getting a new new section like essentially a
DLC pack called Starcross World. I couldn't really tell exactly,
Like what about this requires it to be a switch
to the I gotta watch a trailer again, But like,
I don't know what about this was so inventive and
powerful that it requires the power that switch to to
do it and why it would require this like paid upgrade.
But anyway, that's the thing. I don't know how much
this cost. I if it is like five ten dollars,
I might pick it up. And because I really like
that game, and I would want more of it. I
hope this doesn't mean that, like we're not getting a
sequel to that game, because I really do want to
get a full on sequel to Forgotten LAMD. But I
guess we do know. No. I was gonna say, we
know what that studio is working out, but we don't actually,
because it's it'll come up a bit later. So there's
that one. I don't think you have much add on
that one. And then and then you have two games,
So Metroid Prime four Beyond and Pokemon Z are going
to get a switch to exclusive version. That's a little
bit different scenario though, where you can't really upgrade. I
guess you could upgrade those versions once they've come out.
You could pay to get that upgrade if you like
get a switch too late, I suppose, but obviously they
haven't come out yet, so you would just theory buy
the switch to version, get access to all that stuff.
Metroid Prime you get most control function, so that's pretty
nice for first person shooter. It was something that kind
of theorized they would do for metroy I thought though
that they would be doing that in large part because
Metroid Prime would be like another launch date game for this,
but we didn't get a release date for it yet,
so it seems like maybe it's a fall game.
Speaker 2: Still kind of crazy, like I thought it was coming too,
like once because you and Kirkland talked about it and
I thought, okay, maybe you get the trailer out, but
then you get the big like okay, and it's coming
day one, week two. Like the fact that we got
a announced state for a game layer on that we
had no idea about, which is within months of switch Metroy,
we still know.
Speaker 1: Is it's interesting? I mean, I guess maybe the runway
is like looking good like Day one Mario Kart, month
later Donkey Kong. Don't know what's going on in August,
but like maybe a couple months and then like October
drop Metroid, November, Pokemon drops, like you know, that could
be a good suite of like just first party things
thrown on top all the third party stuff. So maybe
that's why. Maybe they just want to space it for
that reason, I guess, because I think Metroidred came out
in October if I remember correctly, so maybe they just
want that October spooky Halloween vibes for for Metroid perhaps. Yeah,
and then yeah, part of that upgrade is you know,
you can get the four K or one twenty FPS
as well. I don't even know what the Pokemon thing was.
I think it just like runs better, so similar to
Tiers of the Kingdom and stuff like that. So, uh, yeah,
I guess I'll take this opportunity to ask you how
you feel about Metroid Like, I did you watch that
trailer from the other day from the dreg note last week?
What do you think about the footage here? Did you
like see the Treehouse? Like, I don't know if you
have any kind of new No.
Speaker 2: I've been staying away from it because I'm still that's
definitely a word of mouth one. So I'm kind of
like trying not to get too excited for like, I
just think there's a version of this where it's similar
to like the star fucks WEU one. I know you
guys didn't enjoy it as much, and I know there's
some people in the discord that we're asking about that,
but yeah, I don't want to get too because I
just feel like I'm still in the camp where I'm
probably just gonna go and buy I always forget what's
the GameCube one again? And they redid.
Speaker 1: It Metro Prime. Sorry, what you talking about? Well, yeah,
well what's what's the new one called the new Metro game? Yeah,
Metroid Prime four Beyond.
Speaker 2: Thank You, that's the one. Okay, Yeah, that's what I
was talking about. So, uh no, I because Metro Prime
that came out last year, right, the re release?
Speaker 1: Oh the remasters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's my trajectory is I'm planning on playing
that and then I'm gonna do the other one. The
titles are confused me, but I just I don't want
to get excited for it. I just I just have
a bad feeling and I want to be wrong. I
want to be wrong. I hope it comes out it's
like Breath the Wild, where it's like, oh, this is
a game change or whatnot. But from the few things
I've seen, because I know how you increude, phil, from
the few things I see, like, it didn't feel like
that what Breath the Wild was. When we got that trailer,
I was like, wow, this looks a lot different, you know,
or even we've talked about before where they got award
to that. I'm not saying it has to be that,
but it didn't look it didn't feel like two thousand
and twenty five, it feels like maybe they were going
that route they didn't like or confident in the game,
so they went back and went to let's just do
what we do best here. So and maybe that's still
a good game, but I just don't feel like it's
gonna be an all time or something, which after that
amount of break it kind of should be. That's an
unfair thing to maybe put on a game, But when
it's been that long and it is a i'd a
classic Nintendo franchise, a very you know, important character to
the history, it should be something that has like what
Zelda got, what I'm hoping Donkey Kong is getting now,
like what don Kong getting That feels like what Metroid
should be getting. And I don't think it is. So
that's where I'm just it's not on my radar right now.
That's gonna be I'll wait for you or other people
to play it first, unless it's like a Metacritic like
zeala thing where it's like, Okay, maybe i'm more confident,
I'll skip it to the line, but I'm I'm cautiously
waiting to see what happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's one of those things with
Nintendo and General where yeah, you get other companies making
like platform fighters like like like Smash, but no one's
quite making it on that same budget. You don't get
that from like you know, PlayStation did it once, but
they're not doing it frequently, or like other genres like platformers,
like Xbox isn't really making those PlayStation blew everyone with Astrobot,
but it's like that's a rarity. They're not doing that often.
But when it comes to like Metroid and like a
first person exploration game with like combat and like puzzles, like,
there are so many of those, like big budget games
like that, and I guess it just makes it like
in the modern day, like you know, back when the
first Metro Prime came out, there's still a lot of
FPSs back then, but like on the GameCube is a
rarity and like, I don't know, we're just at a
different time. But it's like now there's just so many
games like this that I think it takes a bit
more to stand out, and it's just not doing that
for me. So I'm on the fence with it right now.
I'll wait and see what that release date is, wait
and see maybe a couple more trailers. Maybe I skimmed
through the treehouse thing, but I didn't watch all of it,
but I think it would be kind of like you said,
a word of mouth scenario for me as well in
that one. Yeah, yeah, let us take our first ad
break and we will be right back. All right, we
are back. Next up is a game called Drag and Drive,
Drag X Drive, Drag Times Drive.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think it's just drag and drive.
Speaker 1: There is an ex in there, but anyway, this is
a definitely like a feels like a tech movie kind
of game in terms of showing off what the mouse
controls can kind of do. Here in this game, you
are playing as you're I guess, playing wheelchair basketball essentially,
which is I think a cool concept. And you know,
I'm sure for like, there's just not like if you
are someone in a wheelshair. Not a lot of games
there's not a lot of representation for that in video game,
so I can't even think of a game that like
maybe in Tony Hawk there's like a instead of a skateboard,
there's like a cheat code you can put into like
use a wheelchair or something like that, But I think
that's kind of cool to have that as a kind
of fun, unique sort of thing. In terms of the game,
like incredibly blend, very very basic, Like no, there's like
no art in this game, you know, which is like disappointing,
And it's like I can't see them charging more, like
you should not be able to charge more than like
ten fifteen dollars for this, but I feel like it's
probably like a forty fifty dollars game, and I feel
like no one's gonna play it, So I don't know.
I maybe there's more to it, but like this was
not a great showing for like this being like a bigger,
grander experience. Now, maybe they do just want it to
be like a small, little ten dollars thing. And in
which case, right on, I think you kind of nailed
the assignment there, but like I just don't I don't
know if that's what this is gonna be.
Speaker 2: No, I agree with their trajectory. I think it's gonna
be that thirty to forty and it's not gonna sell well,
and they're gonna be like, well, this is probably don't
make these two games because they don't sell well. But
to me, this looks like if we had a WEE
sports for switch To. This would be one of the
sports in there, like, oh, we're gonna have this plenty
so fun. It feels like a game within a game,
not a full game. Maybe there's way more to it
when you get to it, but it did feel very
very very basic. Felt like back in the day on
a PlayStations when you get like fifty mini games or
a demo. It's like, that's what this feels like. So yeah,
don't I will not be getting that, maybe if it's
very very cheap, but I doubt it, so mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And next up, we got a just a swath
of third party games. I'll just rip through these and
you can talk about which ones are interesting to you.
So we've got Eldon Ring Tarnished Edition is coming to
switch To. That's pretty cool. Haites two Street Fighters six
is getting like a kind of a collection version with
a bunch of the DLC characters plus some ambo stuff.
New dmon X Macina game. I think it's a new game.
It might be DLC, I don't know. Titanic Scion is
what that's called. Split Fiction is gonna be a launch
date game for this new Madden game. Hogwarts Legacy is
another launch one at Tony Hawks three plus four coming
out in the summer. Hitman World of Assassination Signature Edition,
which this game was on the Switch One is like
a streaming game, but now this is gonna be like
a you know, download it on your com a run
better kind of thing. So that's cool. We saw the
James Bond teaser, which is insane.
Speaker 2: I was getting excited because I thought.
Speaker 1: I was getting so excited. Yeah, and then I was like, Okay,
we got nothing here.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, what I get for them? But hey,
still it's going there. That's cool.
Speaker 1: You know, reminders of the exists and is still being developed, so.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get first this game of the movie. My god,
James Bond right now is just in.
Speaker 1: A Broccoli Empire and shambles, you know, and then Bravely
Default Remaster and Yakuza. So yeah, any any I mean,
Elder Ring I think is gonna sell another ten million
copies on the Switch to That's gonna just because I
think specifically I picked that number out of a hap,
but I feel like it will sell huge, mainly because
even like I remember when the when the Steam Deck
came out and I when I was at my friends,
I was like trying the steam Deck when it first
when it came out, you're showing me elder ring is
one of the things. And like even with that, you know,
tweaking the settings and whatnot, he couldn't like squeeze out
more than like I think like forty frames or something,
and like the graphics had to be owned down. Yeah,
but I think like this being like if it does
run really well, like sixty frames looks really good. Honestly,
graphically it did look a little lower, but like you
never know a YouTube compression, but like who knows what's
going on there. But if this like runs well and whatnot,
like I think it's yea gonna sell a tremendous amount.
A lot of people are gonna want this on the go,
and I mean even that steam Deck much lower number
of people own a steam Deck then are gonna own
this even like in the first week, you know, probably,
so I think a lot of people will pick this up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I know it's funny because I still this in
the discord and then I saw them about this with
their GUA people, and I remember when I got I
heard the sound and I just put I just put
like el Ring and then just a bunch of has
because now it's bad. It just feels like it's so
strange where I remember I can't remember what air it was,
but there was an error where getting a mature game
or even a game like this on a Nintendo console
was very rare, like it was not a that wasn't
a thing. And that's I think again attribute to the
mindset change. But I agree with you. I don't know
what the numbers, but I think it will sell well.
I think people would want that game on the go,
And no, I think it's at the beginning where I
just think they were doing their best to show you
we're gonna have tons of content on here. For some
reason you don't want like you could. I don't know
what it's gonna be for new games right, Like it's tough,
like because these are games that have released and after
so it's like the next time Man comes out, the
next time two K twenty six comes out, is that
gonna be ready to happen right at that moment, And
even then, oh Man didn't even think about GM mode.
Oh boy, that's a tough that's an interesting little nugget
that you can.
Speaker 1: Play GM mode while you're at a WWE event in
the audience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or I can play GM mode while waiting for
Spos and David to book their show. Just have the double,
you know, just GMO a GM mode. But no, the
thing is like, that's the only thing I still will
I think always hold switchback from being never the add
on because it's like, will we get these next editions
on the day launch? Because that's great in retrospect, because
one hundred percent there are millions of people around the
world where the Tendel console is their only console. So
this does help, wether it is by choice or whether
it is financially because not just this like other consoles,
when we get PS six and then we get whatever
Xbox is gonna do, Like in general, gaming is gonna
cost a lot, so you will, I think how and
the economy all around the world, especially North America right
now is shitn't gonna be even more shit, So I
think that's one thing where it's like there will be
a lot more people that just could make one console purchase.
And that's where I think Nintendo is great at showing, Hey,
even these games maybe aren't launched, just when you'll get
these eventually, so I think it was smart to show hey,
look how much big IP were getting. Where I remember
we sat through directs in the first five years Geek
first where it's like the third party games that are
getting were very my it was like even myself Wolows Batman.
It's like you can get Arkhama's Silence one. I was
thinking of, Yeah, it's like this game has been out
for like yeah, it's like this is what you can
get all right, where this is much more timely.
Speaker 1: So m hmm yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Moving on. Then the next kind of new title here,
Hyro Warriors, Age of Imprisonment. It's coming out in winter.
This is the third Hygro Warriors game, the second one
in like the Breath of the wildy realm. So yeah,
Breath the Wild came out, and then Age of Calamity
I think maybe it came out in like twenty twenty
or something, so that was kind of like an in
between or between. Uh cheers came and Breath of Wild
and then we're getting this, So I'm I'm kind of
surprised to see this. I I kind of thought, Okay,
we got Age of Calamity. Cool, we got that, but
now we're getting another one. I wonder if this means
that they really plan on continuing in this lineage of
like this. Uh, I guess a little mini arc of
like the Zelda games. If we'll get a third one
after Tears in the in this in this way. But
uh yeah, you know it's like these these Warriors games.
Every once in a while, I'm like, God, I really
I like, I love this IP so much. I don't
like this gameplay, but like I want to give it
a go. Yeah, Like I shouldn't buy it because I
know I'm not gonna like it. And I broke with
Age of Calamity. I was, I was hyped. I was like,
I want to get back in there. I played like
four hours this. I was like, I can't. I spent
eighty dollars on this. I fucking hate this game. This
game suck getting you again, that's what you're saying. I
will say. Part of that was that game looked atrocious,
ran terribly so on the switch too. I'm sure it'll
run a lot better, it'll look better, but no, there's
no chance I will buy this game because I just
will not like it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I take your word. I've only seen it
a couple of times when I came over to your
parents' basemen, you were playing the first one. So that's
about it.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I somehow own the first two games, even
though I'm not a fan of those kinds of games.
But anyway, I will not be getting the third one.
That's where the buck. The buck stops there. Next up
is Nintendo Switch Online, so you know, they confirm that
everything from the Switch one is carrying over all those libraries.
We're getting one hundred percent of that. All that stuff's
coming over. And then day one, that's what surprised me.
I just I didn't think we'd get anything nso here
maybe they confirming that stuff's coming. I didn't think we'd
get anything new day one. I thought that'd like say
that for the fall and then like boom, here's a
bunch of new stuff. But no, day one, we are
getting the GameCube app, which uh I did not expect.
I you know, that is obviously the next one that
makes sense in the timeline, and like you're not gonna
do DS because like that has the double screens. That's
just too complicated. But I just thought, like we've we
got the Metro Primary Master. Mario Sunshine was part of
the three D All Stars bundle, you know, the Pickmin
one and two thing re released that was like last
year or two years ago, even like random like Bountain Kaidos.
I think there's a couple other ones as well. Like
there's been a lot of Game Tube representation on the
switch in games that are being sold on the console,
and so because of that, I just thought like, yeah,
I don't really think we're gonna get this. And me
and Taylor did an episode actually talking just GameCube nostalgia
in general, and then we talked about what that could
look like for the ntinem switch online. So go back
check that episode if you want like a deeper dive
on something like the full catalog what it could look like.
Me and Taylor did that. But yeah, I'm surprised to
see this, and I'm stoked because I love the Game
Tube and very nostalgic for that console. A lot of
a lot of ton of great games, and they are
very expensive to buy, like if you go to use
game stores, those are still super duper expensive. And so yeah,
I think this is a really really great add on
and I am excited to play a bunch of these games.
And yeah, I don't know what do you think about this?
Speaker 2: I think you and I had talked about a few
times in Neverhold toltally like you and Taylor, but I
think you had pretty much convinced me too that this
was like a long shot or wouldn't be happening for
a while. But then it made complete sense when it was.
I think if it was this is coming to switch
to I'd be like, Okay, sure that's something. It's like
they know their fans want it and we're working on
it right so it's like thumbs up the fact that
it's like we know the fans want it. And third
day one to me that was like, oh, this could
have been this probably could have been here for a while.
I'm gonna say like last two to three years. They
probably knew this, Like nah, just especially with what this
you know, like we talk about the mindset nowadays, I
think they definitely like, you know what hold on that
trick out a couple that's exciting. Luckily there was no
games at launch. I was like, oh, I can't wait,
but I'll be very excited to get strikers on there.
Saw that. I do love the new I think when
we did our review, I think we all put the
newest Strikers as the best one, but I still have
like I still think my favorite is that game you won.
I've played so much, but I do like the simplicity
of it a bit more at times, and I'll be
excited to play that a bit smoother. And I'm really hoping, well,
probably not this stream. I don't know if anyone's gonna
have the switch to by this stream, but I'm hoping
by the two thousand and twenty six stream that one
of us have the switch to, and then that will
be because I wanna play Strikers in general. Next stream
for the newest one, I want to play that because
we didn't play this go round, and I want to
play Strikers in the nice GameCube version on switch where
it'll be looking a little bit nicer, probably a bit smoother.
Don't get to bust out and worry about how is
the capture card gonna work with the GameCube this time?
Oh no, it's right on the switch. So I'm excited
for that. Just yeah, because game que we've talked about before.
It's a that's i'd say probably a top tour for me,
like top I can say top one, like it's it's
it's that whatever one and two is, it's that and
a PlayStation. I think I've probably put four in there,
like it's those two. I have great memories within game QB.
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: So we gotta do that at some point console ranking consoles.
Speaker 2: I thought we've done. I'd have to go back. I
thought we did that as a maybe a Patreon episode
one time. But I'll check because I remember Tom, but
maybe we just did specifically ninten to one. I'm wondering. Maybe, yeah,
I'll do a look, but i'd be down, especially ten
years coming up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, uh yeah. So the opening roster of games here,
we're at three to start with, which you know, this
is kind of like the N sixty four when that
first dropped on nso is like, okay, I was looking bleak.
There's not a lot of games here from them. Obviously
they trickle them out, whereas like you know, when when
the even game Boy advances like that, But when like
NES or SNS dropped at first, it was like, oh,
here's already like thirty games, you know, but like these ones,
you know, a little more selective. And as I said,
some of these they're already selling these on the marketplace,
so they're not gonna put pick Me one and two
on there, for example. But anyway, opening roster is F zero,
g X Legendzelda, win Waker, and Soul Caliber two, which
is yeah, sol Caliber. This is the one that had
Link as a playable character, so super fun. I love
that they got that in there. I think that's really cool.
I think I've played this game back in the day
out a Francise or something, and I'll definitely be down
to check it out when it when it comes on here.
Speaker 2: Having F zero the opening lineup to me is the
tennel for like, for sure just be like, hey, we're
never making F zero game, but we know there's a small.
Speaker 1: Park zero game. Two years ago they did you forget
about F zero ninety nine?
Speaker 2: Oh well yeah, okay, I mean like a nice proper
like Nintendo Triple A one.
Speaker 1: It was good.
Speaker 2: It's great. People like a lot of things. But it
doesn't mean that's correct. I'm not saying it's bad to
like it. I'm just saying like we've never got that
big addition. I feel like it's like, Okay, we know
like it has a fan base, so let's put it
in this lineup. But it's not gonna be like next
five years. You're not going to triple A, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean it's funny even like one of
the games in the next like Sizzle Real thing was
like it was a Day one thing and it looks
exactly like F zero. So it's like I feel like
they're almost like, yeah, you know, we're not gonna make it,
but like this other company will make it for us.
But honestly, the Switch and now the Switch too like
the freaking mecca for F zero because you have you
have F zo X now g X. I think they
have Maximum Velocity on there. They I think they have
one of the ants ones on there, F zero ninety nine.
So there's like at least five or six of zero
games available through that service. So obviously you can't buy
any of them on their store. You have to be
subscribed to a service, you can't own them, you know.
So it's like a bit of a gray area there,
but uh, yeah they are, you know, the series is
at least got like a glimmer of a heart beat,
I guess at this point. But I think you're you're
totally right that the uh yeah, new New Entry. Maybe
not anytime soon, I man, now that we got twenty
four racers of mark KRT. Just finally, I was just
gonna say that falcon in there. You had the me costumes,
you could do it that way, but like I put
put them in there. We didn't see them, but like, yeah,
put put put our boy in there.
Speaker 2: Because it's one of those like it's theren happen. But
it's like when I've been playing Smash with the girls
and just like explaining cap and phaltone because like you
don't see that guy anywhere else, like everybody else, like
they even if they've not played them, they've seen like
a Star Fox, they've seen logos or if we've watched
the direct before, they see it's like Catthal have zero,
that's nothing.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, he's a hard part, had his his car
and two courses from a zero. So it's like they're
so close. Just put the boy in there and then
last one win Wakers. This one's interesting to me because
for like years it's been talking about how like okay,
Nintendo made this remaster for the Switch and they've just
been waiting for a rainy day to drop it, and
like maybe when there's a big lull and like Zelda releases,
that's when they'll drop this remake. But I think it's,
you know, of there's not a lot of generosity from
all this switch to stuff in terms of how we're
talking about nickel and diamond with some of these like
rinking ink little games. But like, I think it was
pretty generous that instead of charging eighty or ninety dollars
for like an HD remaster like the Wei, because they
did that on the Wii, the HD remaster of Windwaker,
they could have released that for ninety eighty bucks whatever,
but instead they're putting it in this service. It's not
the you know, remaster version, it's the original version, but
it will look maybe a little bit upres you know,
better screen and all that sort of stuff. So I
think this is cool, and this is one of my
biggest blind spots in video games in general, but also
like just specifically in the Zelda Sia. I've never played
Windwaker before, so this will definitely be my first time
playing it, so I'm excited to do so. And then
in the little you know, uh, this isle really sort
of thing, we saw some games that are coming down
the road include Fire Emblem, Path of Radiance, Pokemon Call Sum,
Pokemon Gale of Darkness, Chibi Robo, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine,
and Strikers as you mentioned before. So yeah, Strikers, that's great,
and that's like I never owned that game back in
the day. I was just played at Frances or play
with you and Taylor and stuff. So I'm excited to
have easier access to that. Sunshine. I don't know if
I'm surprised or unsurprised by that, but as I mentioned,
that was in the three D All Stars collection along
with sixty four and Galaxy. But you can't buy that anymore,
right like, or I guess you could find a physical
copy somewhere, so it's cool that they're putting in here
and so like. Also, sixty four is of course on
the N sixty four nso apps now it's just like,
you know, me, I'm such a sucker for buying that
game because I pretty much just bought Galaxy for eighty bucks,
you know, So yeah, they got me there. Luigi's Mansion
being on here makes sense. That's cool, And with that
it means that the entire Luigi's mansioned series is on
the switch now because two got that remake thing or
remaster whatever. And then three was obviously switch game. So
that's cool that you have the whole series on one console.
Chibi Robo, that's a cool, kind of weird deep cut one.
I'm really happy about that. I've never played that game,
but I've always wanted to these Pokemon games, I don't
like call it Team I think I've played back in
the day. I never played Gale of Darkness, so definitely
curious to check those out. But cream of the crop
here for me is Fire and Bloom Path of Radiance.
You know, I own this game on the game tam
I go play it right now. But this this game
is great. It still is in like my top three
Fire Bloom games. I love it so much. I'm excited
for more people to play it. It was not a
huge cellar back in the day, and because that, like,
there's not a lot of copies out there and it's
extremely expensive to buy like secondhand, and so for it
to be just like in more people's hands, I'm really
excited to hear just people's thoughts on this game, because
it is a super unique and really great entry in
the series. So yeah, I'm excited to see people get
hyped about that one, but yeah, any of those other
games kind of get you jazzed.
Speaker 2: Noluij's Mansion always down for I don't know when it's
gonna happen, but I know soon that's gonna be one
that the girls see me play, want to play, and
I want to, don't know. I think it's easy enough,
and I think that's probably where I'll wait to start them.
There is because it'll be available, and I feel like
that's a more basic one, like they try to add
more as the you know, the series progresses, But yeah,
that's where for me. Other than Striker's a Mansion, which
I still own, there wasn't much here yet. Sunshine maybe
because every time I try to boil the three D
All Stars from Taylor, he just takes it after like
a week or two and he's like, oh, I think
he's just wearing me a loser or something the old
mass and wants to play it. I guarantee if I
asked Masks and she ain't playing Ship. But I also
never I always think I have time not going up,
but I would like to because replaying Mario sixty four
and Sunshine are my kind of gaming list that I
want to redo and play and whatnot, so that it'll
be nice easy access because I'm a Sunshine guy. I
love Sunshine back in the day.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah. And then along with this, they're releasing,
re releasing for like a hundred times a GameCube controller
that you can buy, which you know they did that
for all of these these.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said it looked good though, the you say
the GameCube control right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's wireless.
Just looked nice. It just looked Yeah.
Speaker 1: They got the Classic Indigo, which.
Speaker 2: Looks great, just a great looking controller.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they like the issue with using our GameCube
controller because I have like the adapter, so I can play,
like might use my old ones on the switch currently,
and I do that for Smash, but for other games
it becomes an issue because it doesn't have the left bumper,
and so this adds on that left bumper as well
as the great Sea button so I can talk to
my friends online, so I can't do it otherwise. And honestly,
the the the bumper is like the jankiest, cheapest looking,
tiny little rinking ink, a little piece of shit. But
at least at least you know, I can use it
and like they talk about how you can remap these
controls and stuff, So that's cool. I don't know if
i'll buy. I probably won't buy one of these. I
assume I can still plug in my current GameCube controller,
and obviously the GameCube games don't use that bumper because
that that button didn't exist back in the day. So yeah,
as I said, Prime Pickman one and two, don't expect
those on here because they're selling them on the store,
and there's a couple other ones I think I'm forgetting,
but uh yeah, I think there's I'm excited to see
what other kind of games they added this roster. I
expect just like the N sixty four, it'll be slow,
Like they don't really put a lot of stuff on
the N sixty four. They're still putting more like NY
S and S and E S games out rather than
like new N sixty four games on there, which is disappointing,
but hopefully the GameCube continues to get games past the
like the ten that we saw here in the trailer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will probably be buying this controller in the future.
I love some classic looks. I if they weren't a
part of like the big bundles and whatnot. I loved
like the PlayStation one, like twentieth anniversary consoles they did,
like I said, yeah, we're I don't know anything. I'm
realistic in thinking four years away from a PS six.
To me, it's like I can't buy another just PS
five for the looks. But now it's like, that's what's
great about this. It's the start of the console. If
there was let's say the PS five launch and said, oh,
you can also get this PS one looking addition, then
I would have done it, even played more because like, well,
I'm gonna have this for a while to buy something
where it might be near the end and not so much.
But this is like the beginning of switch to console.
I like having a pro controller, so it's like, why
not have a pro control. That's like the switch is wireless,
which is great for me. I love having that. So yeah,
I think this will be uh, this will be purchased
in my households because I love I fucking love that
controller so love.
Speaker 1: To see it. Yeah do you so? Quick side tangent
here is Smash Bros. Is kind of a weird series
in that the only time a game has ever been
re released or not in we never got a remaster anything.
The only time anything has ever been re released is
on the Wii. You could buy uh, Smash sixty four
on like the Virtual.
Speaker 2: Soul, right I did, I bought that. I remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the only time though, that you've ever
been able to buy a Smash game like not on
its original console. They've never like and even on the
N sixty four NSO app currently Smash sixty four is
not on there. Do you think do you think we'll
get Melee? Oh?
Speaker 2: I'm of two minds because I've heard like, because I
don't think it's gonna happen, but I've I know people
have that theory of like what if because they've done ultimately,
they don't know what they're gonna do next, and they
do like a Melee HD and you know you'll sell copies,
right because it's just like that seems like an easy one,
Like I would even buy that. You could also use
that as like a thing from a year from now,
like guess what's coming to the GameCube online like that,
like it's it's a gun or it's a bold in
the chamber that they know they have. I just don't
know what they're gonna do and how much work. They
want to put it into it, right, And it's also
us not knowing what the status of the next Smash is. Right.
Is it that, hey, they're working on ideas right now.
Is it that it's in flux they're gonna.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know the team that made the last one
is busy working on something else right now.
Speaker 2: But right so that's I mean, like, is the idea
that you're working on that and then after you're back
to Smash? Right? We don't know that because what if
it is just oh, you're working on this and then
after that we'll figure it out. And maybe and that's
the thing, maybe Smash is not even off the tail yet.
Maybe it's something where they're like, hey, we're gonna do this,
and then after we're completely down on that cycle, let's
talk about what's next, and maybe they go, you know, yeah,
let's do Smash. Or maybe a situation where Nintendo's waiting
and they're gonna be like, ah, we don't really have anything,
let's wait on that. That's when you do, Okay, well
could we do some sort of HD remaster? Because that
one's tough. I think you I'll just say one way
or another, you'll say you'll see something with Melee in
the switch to era that could be to the very
end things. But I'm doing a trast told you right
now that they will do something because they know it
has money linked to it, and I think this generation
of Nintendo's all about making money right now. So I
think that you will see it at some way. Don't
know if it's just on the online, if it's a remaster, remake,
whatever it may be. I think you'll see it one
way or another.
Speaker 1: Do you think we'd get Smash sixty four first? Or
is Melee the money maker?
Speaker 2: I say no, because, like you said, they probably with
the Wii, and I don't I just don't think people
are I think there's an as solsia for that. But
I think if you put them up even at the
same time, it's like people just go right to me,
like they just bypass that unless their plan is to
do like a kind of let them like I don't
think they're gonna do the Wei one, but like or
brawl like maybe the planet to you know, you know,
next year we'll do the first Smash in the year
after we do Melee maybe, Like I don't think it's impossible,
but I I could see them just do Melee.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, it's it's you know, it's a
slightly weird case where like obviously Nintendo owns the IP
for Smash Bros. And I'll the later ones have like
you know, thirty party characters and stuff, but Melee and
sixty four don't. But it is a weird case where
like technically the director and like the main studio making
it is like Sacra and his company, and he's like
not a Nintendo employee, Like he's like a contractor essentially
that like makes Smash and like other games for them
and stuff. And so I always wonder if that's not
necessarily that there's a weird rights thing there, but more
so like they would ask SAKRAI like, do how do
you feel about us releasing it? And if he just says, nah,
I'd rather you not, And if they just like respect
that and like don't do it, I don't know, because
like those just seem like big hits, especially with like
with the online functionality, you know, like that was something
that and Smash sixty four and Melee never had, so
like Nintendo's John Ley don't have to work it into
the code. It's just like through the service and the
emulation is like it has the online functionality, So it's
like that would just be huge to have those like
online access to those. I kind of don't want them
to do Melee, even though it is my favorite game
of all time, just because I would be worried that
if they did this, like an official re release of
the game through n SO, that then they would like
go after like Melee tournaments and stuff and like shut
them down for using unsanctioned version, whis they already do
often They're so annoying about that shit, and so I
feel like if they actually did a full release and
they're like, hey, you have no excuse, now you have
to use our version there, I guarantee their version would
have more latency, it would not be quite the same
as like what we use for tournaments. I just went
to a Smash tournament last weekend, so you know, I
love Melee, like love to have it more accessible, but
I just feel like it would be a little bit laggier.
And I'm such as it's so deep in my bones
how the game feels on like a CRT and like
through a GameCube that I just know it wouldn't be
as good, and I guarantee the online that an Intent
has for this is worse than the current Melee online
we have through the community that they've made. So uh yeah,
I don't I don't really want it, just honestly, for
the right side of it, I just like they. I
think they would start shutting down tournaments and stuff, and
I don't want that. So I think i'm I'm I
smash sixty four though, please put it on the service
because I don't care. I'm not as precious with that one,
and I just want to play it without having to
plug in my jankey and sixty four, so please do
that one at the very least. Yeah, let us move on.
Then here's another. This is a big sizzle reel. I'm
just gonna rifle these off and then you can. You
can interrupt me, right if you want. A bunch of
games come in include Delta Roune Chapters one, two, three,
four kind of as one collective package, Borderlines four, Civilization
seven with Most Controls, which is most control is really
cool for that's that's a great add on WWE two
K that's coming. Survival Kids. I looked into this game,
but I don't need to talk about it. It's it's
there's a backstory with that, but I don't need to
get into it. Into the Gungeon two. A game called
Star Seeker Astroneer Expeditions Cyberpunk twenty seven to seven is
coming on the switch to It's cool Final Fantasy seven
remake Integrade, not Rebirth, but just the first part there.
One that they randomly chucked in the sizzle reel. But
it's like, actually a big deal. Is like Hollow Night,
Silk Song Confirm for twenty twenty five. That game has
been on ice forever. People have been like chomping at
the bidget news about that, and then they just randomly
drop it in here. I don't think there was new footage,
but like confirming that it's this year. I don't know
if I believe that, but like us, it feels huge
news that they just tucked in the middle of this
big sizzle reel. A new Story of Seasons game, a
game called Goodbye Universe two Point Museum, Wildhearts, Witchbrook, which
I mean Kirk can talk about few days ago, Pooh Pooh, Tetris,
Rune Factory, Marvel, Cosmic Invasion, Star Wars, Outlaws, Fast Fusion
that's like the F zero looking game Shadow, Labyrinth right
ry do no sleep for Kanane date Reanimal Fortnite is coming,
Shocker Arcade Archives Professor Layton Tama got Tamagotchi Plauza something
human involvedlt too. Sorry. I wrote these notes down as
they were going through, and I didn't pause, so I'm
just like typing like a madman. Anything from the saysle
reel that you think no real.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I had that epiffany about WND and
GMO that might be something that I might buy, like
when it's super on sale, because I don't really need that.
I don't go too many places right now because I
work at home and got the kids. But no more
good lineup, more games at so well, and a good
variety of games. They're not just hidden on one fan
base or one genre, so smart moves all round.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take our last ad break and
then we'll crush. We have three more games to talk about,
and then we'll just kind of do some overall final thoughts.
We will be right back. All right, we are back.
Next up. Did not expect this at all. Huge surprise
and I think a huge get for Antenna switch to
a game called The Dusk Bloods or is it just
the I think there's a right, I think yeah, yeah,
So this is coming out twenty twenty six. This is
from Software exclusive game for the Switch too, so funny.
The whole time I've seen this, I'm like, this looks
a lot like Bloodborn, and I've played a bit of
blood Born, like is this Bloodborn coming to the Switch
or is And then eventually I'm like, oh, this is
definitely not Blooborn, this is blood Born too, and then
it's not. But it's a game that looks a hell
lot like it should be blood Born too. So obviously
that's like a weird case where Bloodborne was a PlayStation
four exclusive game, everything else from Soft goes to every
console but Switch. Somehow Nintendo grabbed another exclusive for from software,
so that's a huge deal. So, like I said, looks
a lot like Switch, like a Bloodborn two kind of game,
but there is online multiplayer up to eight players, so
it seems like maybe a little bit different. Obviously with
night Rain they're doing all multiplayer thing. But yeah, so
here you go, a new from Software game. You've obviously
delved now played a shit ton of elden Ring. What
did you think of a Dusk Bloods though. Is this
selling you?
Speaker 2: No? But it's for different reasons. One, like I said,
because elden Ring had just like a different appeal. That's
why I got into it. But as I've said before,
I don't think I can go back to from software
game until the Twins are like five. I can't. I
need to like that those games I need to have
my I'm still other than elden Ring because there's still
stuff I needed to go there. That is a very
time consuming game, and there's no point in my life
right now where it's like I want to be working
on a boss for two days and still be losing.
I want to the times I want to have games.
I want to be playing games. So that's where it's
like a it's a respect thing where it's like I
will come back to this one day once I have
more free time. But business side, I could imagine it
because they said something and it wasn't but they said something.
Were almost made it sound like this was the last announcement,
but then they did a couple like oh we got.
Speaker 1: One more, one more still the last game from our
third party partners or something.
Speaker 2: Yes, So I think I because I was working I
think I had misheard that and just her last game,
so I thought, okay, at like before I heard the
exclusive part, thought okay, ending on a new from Software
game that's still big, but I thought that's not like
not massive, because like it's going everywhere. But when they
said it was exclusive, I could not believe that. I
was very surprised. I think it if you like these games,
you like this genre, I think it hits everything. And yeah,
like I said, even for myself, if I was completely
Freeman time, it didn't you know, get my juices going
the same way as aldham Ring did. I think the
one I most not just because it's PlayStation, but would
be like, okay, I'd probably go back to Bloodbourns like
something like that. Like I said, I want to go
maybe more in the past of games that I've heard
about before and now they have experience, But this looked
like I still need to see a bit more. But
it looked, uh, you know, it didn't grab me the
right the same way as elden Ring. But business wise,
I was very surprised. As exclusive. I could not believe that,
And that's a I think that's a massive get and
that's where to me that was another sign of oh
they are truy. I don't know what more they're going
to do in the future, but that to me is
like another move of like, hey, we'd like Nintendo to
be your only console. And that's a move where it's like, right,
if you have to say what we talked about with
like Fallout and elow Scrolls all the stuff, now that's
changed where we were now when they got bought. Right
now that might go to PlayStation by the time. It's like,
those are franchises that will make people go buy a console,
and that is from software has that rabid fan base,
and elm Ring did just I'll say doubled, but I'll
say triple because I feel like there's tons of people
that were like myself that that was their first type
of game like that. So I think that this is
a massive move and good on them and very impressive.
But yeah, it wasn't one that was like, oh, I'm
I feel like I'm missing out. It didn't have the
same or as elm Ring did, so who knows, we'll see,
but I that team produces nothing but quality, so I
think it'll just be a hit all round and kind
of smart that elm Ring's on there, like it's just yeah,
overall that it feels again a very unintended like move.
It feels more like you'd see from a PlayStation or
some or Microsoft where it's just like, oh, they got
this game, like when they would you know, Spider Man,
we knew because that was like when Wolverine also came
and was like, oh that's exclusive. Well that's a huge get.
Like it feels very I can't remember last time this
has happened Nintendo. This feels very outside of their realm
in a good way. So mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it was really really smart for them
to drop this here and now, even though it's not
coming out un till twenty twenty six, which Nintendo has
been more in the realm of like okay, we mostly
try to show things that are coming in the next
few months. But I think this was really really smart
because you know, Bloodborne is a lot of people still
favorite from software game, even like post Eldon Ring, people
love that time.
Speaker 2: People wanting a fall up or like a remaster.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I agree with Yeah, they want the PS
five version with sixty frames, They wanted to come to PC.
They want you know, really just those two things and
like Xbox, I'm sure they also want it to but
of course, yeah, I think that's why it's so smart
for them to do this here, even it's not till
next year, say the exclusive part, because I think people
will be like, look at Bloodborne, say, yeah, that game
has never come anywhere else, So I need to buy
this switch because you know, I'm a hardcore from Software fan.
You know it has blood in the title, so obviously
they're very close to the vest with like the blood
Born sequllly aspect of it, just like without being copyright infringement,
I guess, because like I think PlayStation like partially or
completely owns the IP. I don't know exactly how that
works when you have two companies like that, and I
know Sony has since like bought like they own a
percent of from Software now too.
Speaker 2: I think that's a weird situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all. It's all very confusing, but you know,
I think really smart because like people will see exclusive
to switch, and they might. They can't. They cannot assume
that it's a timed exclusive, right they it might This
might be the only place this game will ever be,
And so for there's hardcore fans, they might just have
to buy a switch too, and they might be pissed
about that, but you know what, it's a fucking savvy
business move, so great get for uh Switch. I wonder though,
like with because I don't know what the timing of
all this with Sony being like a you know, owning
in percent of from software, Like could this be a
timed exclusive on Switch but then it comes to Sony
later on? Or would Sony like have a say in
this or could they would they be okay to give
that away to Switch as an exclusive? Like I don't
know how that stuff it works. But once again, that
was kind of recently then that Sony bought in on
Maybe these deals and contracts were already signed before. Could
have been yeah, before Sony even had stake in the company.
Speaker 2: Because I will say that even if it is even
if it's a year, I do think if it comes
out that as a time exclusive, that does hurt the
hootspa this announcement a little bit because there is tons
of people same way as vice versa. For Hey, I
only got a switch. I don't have enough money to
buy constant play Elen Ring. Oh look I got ellen
Ring perfect boom. You're there there will be people I
know even lately it's not the same degree, but because
that India Jones ps five. God. Now, so I've seen
multiple people like, oh I can't wait to buy it.
Here I'm like, oh, more than I thought it was
gonna be. So there will be people that will wait.
So if that comes out before the game launches, that
does hurt a little bit. If it doesn't, that's great.
And yeah, it's it's curious with all that situations because
I see Bloodborn brought up all the time, especially anytime
we get like a PlayStation showcase. It's like I always
see like top three things people want is that? And
I agree that I saw people, you know, making the
comparisons here of the like you know, the meme of
like oh you copied my homework sort of thing, even
though it's the same company doing it, right, But yeah,
that'll be interesting. I hope for their sake it's not
time because like you said, when people will have to
buy a constantle but not like it, it's like, well,
we it's to a very lesser degree, but it's like
that's what we did with Marvel Tom Alliance, right, like
we were like, oh, well maybe you know eventually that
might come somewhere else, but it didn't.
Speaker 1: But I hope that game gets an upgrade for the
Switch too. It won't, but god, how badly do I
want at sixty frames? Uh you know, upres graphics, you know,
throw a couple of new characters in there. Oh god, yeah,
that's so much. Yeah, I think you know, last point
on the is I believe on the switch one the
only from software game on they're currently is Dark Souls.
They got like the Dark Soul they had a you know,
a name for kind of how like elder Ring's called
like the Tarnished Edition. They had like a name for it.
And so obviously elden Ring is the big space you
want to put in here, and the new IP of course.
But I think this will be like I think they'll
start backfilling and just dropping Dark Souls, two, Dark Souls,
three Armored Corps. I just think they'll drop all these
games on the Switch and just make that like now
that this console is powerful enough to run these things
without having to do the Dark Souls one where they
like tweak the game whatever to get it to work there,
I think they'll just start dropping all these games on
there and get to make that like just the place
to pray from software at least to make it feel
that way. So pretty pretty exciting for those fans. Moving
on is a Kirby air Riders. So this is a
sequel to Kirby Air Ride, a GameCube game. So I
wonder if we'll get that on the Nintendo Switch Online
Service at some point. I would love to see it.
But once again, that is a weird case where that
game was made by Sakarai, the creative director of the
Smash Bros.
Speaker 2: Game.
Speaker 1: Uh, and it was it was the same team as Melee.
It was holl Laboratories that made that game. And it's
funny if you if you go, like look at the
Kirby air Ride like menus and stuff, it looks the
exact same as the Melee menu, Like obviously it's like
the exact name UI Designers and all that. It's funny
to go back and see that sort of stuff a
game I've never played, though, So I really want to
go back and play that. So I hope it does
drop on the NSO app there, And yeah, I think
I think this is cool, uh because you know Sack right,
this guy makes mostly Smash Bros. But every once in
a while he does something else. He did Kirby air
Ride back in the game tubera, he did kid Iicrius
Uprising on the three DS. But yeah, since I think
I get I don't know if that came out after
Smash for but anyway, for a while, Sakari has just
been crushing it with Smash and hasn't been doing anything else,
and so I think it's cool for him to take
a break every once in a while. Because also you may
forget people, but he is the creator of Kirby, Like
he made that character back in the day. He made
the first game or two, and now other people have
made it, but here he is working on this game.
So I think it's pretty cool. Even though I love Zachery, Like,
I don't know if this is a day one for me,
just because like how expensive is this game going to be?
For like for what it is, Yes, but I think
it's cool to get this series back. I know this
series it does have a lot of like it has
that niche audience that loves loves that game so much,
and obviously it's a GameCube classic, one of those ones.
So it's cool to see it come back after all
these years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it felt like. Funny enough, I think
in the box art, this is a game that I
had to be reminded existed. I can say the game
cubes in my top, but I never never played it,
never knew anyone that play it. Not saying I'm not
a Kirby guy, but like, that's definitely a franchise that
I have the least about experience. If you're talking about
like the Smash Icon list, like that's probably the one
I've played the least of for I don't know whatever reason, right,
do you think things just pass you by sometimes? So yeah,
I again curious what it's priced at, but I agree
that that's cool. You can take a break. But yeah,
it's yeah cool, that was there again. I was also
worried this was the last game announcement, but it wasn't, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I guess the last point
in this is like the confirmed today that this is
the exact same team that he that Sakarai worked on
Smash Ultimate with, So if that team is presumably making
the next Smash game, you know we can expect to
like wait a little bit longer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've always thought though, like maybe Ultimate is when Sakari
steps away from the series. He hasn't like officially said
that or anything like that, but I feel like this
maybe there could be the time when Nintendo gives the
reins to someone else, and at some point I do
want to see that. I want to see another creator's
take on this iconic franchise. Of course, he is the
creator and he's made all these games, so I'd be
down to keep him as long as he wants to
do it, even if I have some issues with some
of his design like here and there, But like overall,
I'm happy with it. So I don't know. I'm I'm okay.
I'm expecting that I'm gonna have to wait a while
before i start getting my my Smash news on this
new console. And I don't know, like I said, with
with Smash, like it's only had that one re release
or you know, that virtual console release. I don't know
if we'll get a Smash Ultimate, you know, ten dollars,
pack upgrade whatever, switch to version, yeah that adds anything.
Like the game already runs at sixty frames, it runs,
we well, looks great. I don't know if we need that,
and I don't know if they want to add more
characters and like make that part of like this ten
dollars upgrade whatever. I don't know if it's ten dollars.
I just assume it's something like that. So I don't
know if Smash Ultimate we'll get that treatment. So it
might just be a while before the next Smash game
because of this. But I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in nowhere achieved what that man's done, so
I have no reason to speak on his legacy whatnot.
But if I was him, I would just walk off
the court with Ultimate, keep it there. I think that's
like I just I don't think like I'm kind of
with like I think when we did our top ten games,
I had Melee there. Probably still would for my personal one.
But it's one of these things where it's like Ultimate
is just like the perfect version of what Smashes with
every kidding, it's interesting. It's a it's a game that
shouldn't exist and it does, and it's great for him,
like the to me, I know you want to do
cast one day, so we still should. But the only
reason I'd have him to come back is like you
almost like don't redo it from top to bottom, but
you start from scratch and you I like, I would
say you do, like, no, we're just gonna do a
roster of sixteen people and we're gonna refine, do this
and that and change, like you don't make it about
the like you have to redo that. And that's where
I think there's so much risk in that. That's whereas
for him, I'd like, let someone else do that. I'm
gonna go off on all bit because then no matter what,
if that next Smash game is mediocre, oh man, you
got ultimate so that that's a tough thing. Though, that's
like same thing could just be even you're talking about,
like if these pressures that franchise might just still be
hard to hand it off if you're alive, right to
be like, oh this is your baby in a sense
like oh, someone's gonna do it. If you're seeing that,
I wouldn't do that, or I wouldn't that character doesn't
fit with who I would put in there, which I've
also like, I've had enough issues with some of the
Smash Field they put in where it's like, eh, I
feel like we've you know, even some of the street
Fire characters. It's fun, but it's like, oh, this doesn't
fit what I believe Smash was, but he does and
it's his thing, right, So but that's the thing he'd
have to watch on the side of someone else being like, yeah,
I want to put uh, I don't know, I want
to I want to put master Chief in there. And
what if he's like I didn't. I don't really like
master chiefs a Smash characters, Like, well, you gave the reins,
you can't say anything. So that's where it's like, that's
that's tough. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He's always had his like his rules, like like yes, yeah.
People was like, oh, put Spider Man and he's like, no,
it has to be like a video it has to
be a character who is a video game character first,
So like I just disqualifies. People will be like maybe
the new director doesn't care, and it's like, yeah, I'll
fucking put Spider Man in there. And you know what,
I'm down. Put Spider Man in Smash Bros.
Speaker 2: I'm down. But like I said, would he be down?
And that's where you have to watch it, and that's
where it's like, yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh So there you go. This Kirby Air Riders.
We didn't actually see much gameplay of it, so it's hard.
Speaker 2: To make up too more cinematic, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just cinemat trailer. But what we did see gameplay off
is a the second ever three D Donkey Kong game,
the first one since the N sixty four era. We're
finally getting another three D don Kong game. Donkey Kong
Bonanza is coming out July seventeen. You know, this does
in no way a sequel to don kyk sixty four.
It's just another three D Donkey Kong game. But yeah,
this seems to be I would imagine. I don't know
if it's confirmed, but like, this looks like it's the
same team that made Mario Odyssey in termsly like the
art style of the creatures and the design and the
look and the general movement and stuff. It looks like
that same team's work. So I think it is that
same team that made Mario Odyssey. And the we're here
making don Kong Bananza. So you know, you and me are.
There's not a lot of huge Donkey Kong sixty four
fans out there, but me and you are two of them,
and so I think both of us are extremely excited
to see another our boy in three D once again.
Speaker 2: That is why I can't believe in you said, there's
nothing making a five star. How was this not a
five star? I think the past year specifically, we've been
talking about how nice it would be, awesome.
Speaker 1: Lankey Kong was playable, maybe it would have been a
five star.
Speaker 2: But yeah, and that's a game you said, kiss it
has weird stuff that never came up on the Classic store,
right the sixty four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is a case where like Rare
technically owns that game, but like also they put Golden
Eye on there, so I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on there. I'm hoping this because.
Speaker 1: I think so like, yeah, put Donkey Kong on there, Please.
Speaker 2: Get get Banjo back on the tendo, you know, like
fucking xboxing.
Speaker 1: Doing it smash now, Like obviously there's the partnership.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So for me, it's one of these things that
we talked about this lash year. Is that what the
Mario Party or Mario Movie? No. Two years ago now,
the Mario Movie came out, and it just felt between
that Universal is doing a Donkey Kong land. Nintendo's I
think trying real. I think they realized along the way
they kind of forgot about Donkey Kong, and to me
he is next to Mario, he is a pillar. I
know there's other big franchises. I think now you could
argue Zelda Link that franchise that's clearly number two next
to Mario now, right, But at one point it was
Donkey Kong. And I think they kind of don't know
why they forgot about a couple of bad games, a
couple of drumming bongo games, whatever. But I think now
even with because we had realized this months ago, I
think maybe I was off. I was still on the
leave and you guys were talking about But what was
interesting was in Mario Kart that Donkey Kong was redesigned
to be more of that classic look. And that's the
way he looked in the movie, and that's the way
he looks in this game. And I think that's legitimately
like it's not just like me like thinking business or
a tinfoil hat. I think it's legitimately of we want
to get don Kom back in the forefront. We want
him to be like if you talk about like how
the MCU is a like the Trinity, right, like Captain America,
Ironman and Thor and DC's like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
I think they want that to be Mario Link, you know,
Link Zelda and Donkey Kong. And I think that design
is a clear choice if we want to go back
to that. And yeah, this for me, this is the
only thing I was begging Dylm. I was begging to
see A twenty twenty six because I was like, I
do not want to buy this console. I don't want
to be tempted right now. Please. And not only was
it this year, because even fall, I could be like, Okay,
maybe I can manage, like I said, we will talk
about price and buying it. There's where maybe it's a
Christmas present, But when it was July, it's like, oh man,
that's tough. But at least I tell myself, go, you
know what I have des Ruading two. That's a very
massive game that's gonna take a while. I'm putting a
lot on that big before I know, we'll review it
before don com. But still that's a game that even
after the review, I'm gonna want to see more hours.
But if that game is rocking an eighty five or
higher Metacritic, and that's gonna be a very tough thing
for me. To sit back and not be playing that.
And I don't think i'll throw the money because I
think the console is gonna be quite a bit, especially
at launching Canada here. But this is one where I
just tell myself, Okay, stick to your lists. There's many
great You still't played Odyssey, you still played Tears of Kingdom,
There's many great games out there. Because Donkey Kong, I've
been waiting for a while, it's this one. This is
a tough tess wall, but to me it looks great.
I love just stuff, picking up stuff throwing. I love
the smash like mechanics here where at one point he's
in this area and it's like there, it's also meant
he just smashed there. It looks like a mini Hault
game like this just looks awestly doesn't look like that
N sixty four game. And I don't even think that
this looks like a complete evolution of that. But it
looks like it's something that is completely new but great,
and I'm so down for that. I thought for sure
when I was seen the first few seconds, I thought, Okay,
this is the new Mario game and whatever it may be.
Even if I saw monkeys that could just be a
we just did New Donk City, right, what if that's
just a sequel whatever. So when it was DK himself
was like, man, I cannot wait. So this game, I
really hope it's not a situation where it comes out
and be like, yeah, it's fine. I have faith in them.
I think with the rebranded DKA, they want to make
this a big deal and like it has to be quality.
And like I said, I don't want probably won't be
playing it this year, but I cannot wait, and I
can't wait to see the reviews. But then I'm gonna
completely not look at anything gameplay, Like I'm not gonna
watch the tree Us. I'm not gonna watch anything because
I don't want to feel that fomo. I'm gonna let
people tell me about it. But it's kind of like
the Metroid thing. But this I have more faith in
this because I that trick. Just like, Okay, they're doing
something different and it looks like they're nailing it, kind
of like a Mario game when it comes up with
something new, like three D World, right, it's like this
is fucking weird. This is different, but looks like they've
they've nailed it. I cannot wait for don Kong Bonanza.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. You know, I'm I'm I like what you
were saying there about like the visual style of them.
That was definitely a thing that's like, yeah, it'd be
really weird if they redesigned Donkey Kong for Mario Kart.
So that was always the thing, was like, oh, maybe
that three D don Kong game is coming or just
you know, a two D Donkey Kong game. But I'm
glad that it ended up being the three D version
of it. Random side tangent here Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey
Kong Bonanza. Like the word Jamboree Bonanza, they have a
certain ilk to them, like I feel like we're gonna
get like Mario like hoot Nanny next or something. I
feel like that's another word I associated. Yeah, these weird, fun,
playful words. And then of course it's bonanza with the
pun in there. So it is just perfect. So I
love that. I don't know if you went on the
website for this game, but like it is a full
on interactive experience where you like scroll the screen and
it like takes you through this thing and then eventually,
like you know, spoilers, it started like scrolling sideways. It's
like kind of trippy, so pretty cool. Yeah, I'm really
curious about this game because it seems weird, which is
good because I think Donkey Kong as a character has
always been weird and like some of the humor and
stuff has always been strange. But also like a little
bit dark, and it's like it's not a very bright, colorful,
vibrant game. It's like it's it is colorful, but it's like,
I don't know, more muted or like more.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's like even like the purple, it's
like a dark and.
Speaker 1: It's it's trying to be like underground, like in a
mine and you're busting, you know. So maybe we are
going to get to some like brighter, more colorful areas,
but I think that's cool. The question for you is
like I couldn't really tell this is like fully open world.
Is this like open zone in the way like Odyssey's
levels are like pretty massive at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I took it like that where it's
open zone, you'll have like, Okay, this is the you know,
because some of the features they showed, like I said
that are the different sets. There's one that was more
purple than there were one that was a bit more
orange and yellowy, like it's he breaks a wall off.
I think it'll be pretty much. The layout will be
I'll say, like eighty five to nine percent like Odyssey.
I think it will just be that. But with Donkey Kong.
Obviously different game play, different style, but I think they're
gonna follow that format. Yeah, a few changes here and
there to make a difference, but that's what I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I just I love the destructible environments.
It definitely seems like, Okay, what can we leverage with
like the power of the switch too, and like let's
make these crazy destructible environments so we can just do
some insane stuff. So it seems like they're pushing the
console to its limits in a way. It kind of
feels like the equivalent of like a ratcha in Clinic
Rift Apart, you know, in the way that I was
like pushing the PS five. So this seems like that,
like Mario Kart cool in new features, but it's like
it's not gonna push the console away that the switch
one couldn't handle. But this feels like it is other
than maybe the low times, but this feels like, oh yeah,
this is like really cool, crazy mechanics that here's the
King had similar ish sort of things like that, but
this seems like a whole new level. So yeah, I
think this game looks fantastic. It definitely doesn't look like
don Kyong sixty four, and you know, I'm nostalgic for
that and I like that, but I'm okay with it
been something new and different. Do you think is Diddy
Kong in this game?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 1: Where? What do you think? How do you think he's
integrated in the game? Like, is he a playable character
at some point? Is he a guy? Do you have
to save him as he caged up like he is
in Don Kong sixty four before you save.
Speaker 2: Him something like that. I think they just want to
get the focus on Donkey Kong, re establish him, and
then you can sprinkle in his friends and family. I
think even King k Rule could be somewhere around here.
But I think they just want to make it about
and maybe they've maybe there's part of NATO that view
that when there were so many different type of Kongs
and whatnot, and maybe devalued don Kong, But I don't
think so. I think don Kong obviously is still the
top eight. But I think they want to get back
into you want to fall in love with don Kong before.
It's the whole crew of Donkey Kong. So I don't
think anyone else is playable. Yeah, yeah, really, I don't
think so. I think it's I think it's a game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. I think I don't know,
maybe get like a DLC or you get like a
Diddy Kong. You get like a Diddy Kong level Diddy
Kong Park where you can go around and do his
thing something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then it always loves the options for sequels,
right If this game is a hit, then it's like, well,
we don't got to worry about that, right now, make
in the next time you just be Okay, we had
Diddy or we had Dixie or you know, Chunky or whatever,
so you know, whatever you want to do. I think
there's room there. But it's the same way as like Odyssey,
that could just be I think it might come in
a different way of like you do this game, it's
a hint, maybe you just do another Donkhan type of game,
because then, honestly, I've never played it, but you don't
play as Luigi.
Speaker 1: Right, Nope, just Mario and then well, I guess Mario.
The main mechanical the game was chuck cappy at like
a frog or like a goomba or whatever, and then
you play as them a dinosaur, you know. So you
do play as other characters, but not in that same
like character select screen sort of way.
Speaker 2: So I feel like they might want to get back
to the way where it's like you have you know,
Breath the Wild and whatnot, but then you have that
Zelda game or what was Zelda Whispers or something like that. Yeah,
things like that. When you get a Mario game, you
play as Mario and then you have to have other
games where you could play as Warrior, Peach Toad, Luigi.
I think they want to do that with don Kong
where they want to have a mainline Donkey Kong game
that every you know, three to five years, like we
expect with the Mario three D comes out and it's
great and then we're happy. But then you can still
get something with because the King family is huge, you
can do something with them. So that's my prediction is
they want to establish this and then after it'll be
a different game. Maybe Diddy by himself or the Calling
family or whatever you want to do. Like I'm not
sure what you could, but that's my prediction is if
this is successful, you'll see the Kngs again, but maybe
doing their own thing, like you kind of get with
Mario so because that just means more for them too.
Why put all the Kongs in one game when you
can sell Donkey Kong game and then also have the
Kong's game, right, Like that's what they do with the
Mario people.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it's it's a weird case where you
know so much of the switch. It was always like, Okay,
this new game from whatever series is now the best
selling in its franchise, metrot dread cribon throgotten Land, Lu
we just mentioned three, Like all these games, it was
just it was the switch effect. And since Donkey Kong
didn't have a new title, any new game in that series,
we didn't really get to see anything like that. But
I'm curious what like a Diddy Kong game would have
done in that switch era, And like we'll see how
well this switch to cells and how much that momentum
continues forward and if we still get that switch effect.
But for this this sequel to console as well, and
obviously Bonanza, like it's gonna be limited on its sales
to how many people have a Switch one when it
comes out, and then obviously when people buy Switch Switch
twos in the future, they can go back and buy
this game. You know, it'll already be out at that point,
so we'll see. But like, yeah, I wonder what kind
of offshoots we get, and like hopefully it sells tremendously
and then we do get more of those games, because
like Donkey Kong, super underserved character, he deserves so many
more games than he gets. It's crazy that he didn't
have a new game on the Switch one other than
like a tropical Freeze re release, and like Diddy Kong
is kind of the same in that way too. Even
like once again, bring back to Smash Bros. It's insane
to me that there's only three Donk Kung characters in Smash.
There should be at least six or seven or eight
at this point. There should be more Dunk characters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my god, no. And I think he's a good
point where we'll talk about in the second. But like,
if this console sells well, I think the fact that
because obviously they're launch line up, really, and I'm not
counting the whatever world game. It's two games, right, and
even then it's not it's just launching Mario, but I'm
gonna count it's July. It's close enough. You're launching with
Mario and then you're launching with dunk On. The rest
of them are all just upgrades. It's all games that
you could buy right now. Even Metroid we can still
we've conference can buy on Switch one, right, So for
that first and this happens a lot with all consoles
that launch nowadays. We always think they have these robust
launch lines. They really don't. They have a few games
that it's this third party. So if you're just purely
like myself, just just plays Nintendo for the next year
and a half two years of fining a switch, there
might not be too much on there, right. They'll probably
be at least one game every quarter to get you.
There could be from software, game, whatever. But if it
sells well and you're wanting to get steeped in that
Nintendo low or whatnot, that's where the don Kong game
could sell because it's like, well, there's this game available
and I'm gonna buy it. The same way with honestly
the last go around right different because that's Mario. But
I think if a game's good and a console selling,
people will buy those kind of first few games over
and over they don't get the bundle. KRT will have
that same effect. Kurt's different cause it's massive, but still
it's just some people. What they will do is they
will buy a switch, they will buy KRT, they'll buy
Donkey Kong and then not buy another game for three years,
because that's just sometimes how games go, especially with families. Right,
It's like, because right there, that's we're gonna get into it.
That's a lot of money if you buy those two
games in a console if you don't get that bundle
and you need more controllers. So that's why some families
might be fine with just you can play don Ky
Kong over and play Mario Kart a bunch of times,
and that's what helps to be that early game because
you're you're there to pick up right where maybe in
the year or two it's like, okay, that's a Christmas presenter,
hey that we always spend a lot of money on
the switch. You're gonna have to wait for that game, right,
So mm hm.
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on Donkey Kong. It actually is like,
as much as I'm I'm stoked, I like what we
saw here, I do feel like there's a lot more
for us to see. So I imagine they would do
a direct just for this game like they have for
other games, or at least you know, we'll get another
like summer trailer or something. I feel like there's a
little extra sauce that needs to be shown, or maybe
there's hiding things for the game itself, and so I'm
curious to see what those things are. But I do
feel like this trailer left more and like I'm on
the edge of my seat kind of way, not like
what that's all you got, But I'm just excited to
see what else we have in there.
Speaker 2: And I agree there is something. So I'll probably walk
it back and I will watch a direct, but it'll
just be forgrudgingly, and I just don't want to be
too great because I'll be sitting there. But there is
a few questions I would want to see more, So yeah,
I probably will watch it be where July is not
that far away.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Okay, let's that's all the games from this thing,
So a lot a lot of games. Yeah, last, we're
just gonna quickly talk through some of the pricing of this,
and we are we buying it, I guess.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what we have right now as of April third,
we'll see if anything changes, is that the console itself,
there's two versions of it. There's the console or there's
the console plus Mario Kart bundle you can get. So
the console itself is going to be four hundred and
fifty US dollars or six hundred and thirty Canadian dollars,
or if you get the Mario Kart edition consoles five
hundred USD or seven hundred Canadian And then for games,
games are now more expensive now too. Generally speaking, now,
I'm guessing this is going to be like quite a
sliding scale, Like I think Drive Drag Drive, for example.
I don't think that'll be an eighty dollars game. That'll
probably be less expensive, but for like the first party games,
it seems like they're jumping up to eighty US dollars
or one hundred and twelve ish Canadian dollars for like
a digital game, and then if you go physical, you're
talking ninety USD or one hundred and twenty Canadian dollars.
So that's the pricing. And as we talked about like
nickel and diming for like that tech demo we thing
or like these you know upgrades, I don't think we
know how much the upgrades are yet for like the
Kirby's and the Tiers of the Kingdom and stuff like that.
Once again, I assume ten dollars that's what like PS
five and stuff has done, but we don't know that
for sure. We'll see how much that ends up being.
So yeah, like all that being said, we've kind of
already talked through this, but it sounds like you are
definitely not a day one purchaser of this. You're thinking
maybe maybe by the end of the year, maybe as
a Christmas present and kind of swing it that way
as like a gift for the kids. But just the
pricing is a little too savage for you to just
jump in their day one.
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, exactly, because I primarily would just be buying
it for one game. As I said, I love Mario Kart,
but I'm not like dying to play that game, right,
And they did the same thing with the from software game.
That's not something that interests me at the current moment
and there's nothing else. They also even and they didn't
need to, but they also didn't kind of do like
a oh and in the near future next year. They
didn't show like a smash like that where it's like, okay,
that's coming maybe the next few years or so, right,
So for me, it's just that, and for me it's
the it's definitely the price. That's a lot of money. Luckily,
like you know, I I got multiple with this, and
I got my day job. There's things people know as
podcasts we can write off, so there's all ways you
can work around it that I'm in a better position
than many other people that can buy maybe not this
for many many years, right Like if I want to,
I could buy this right now pre order, but that's
not like I still got to be financially sound be like, hey,
how much am I gonna really use? It's the same
way like the Switch. I didn't buy it right away
because I bought that once. There was enough games like
a Marvel Ultimate Lines and other games where it's like, Okay,
I'm gonna buy this because I got X, Y and Z,
I need it for this and I need it for
Luigi's mansion. Coming around the corner. So that's what I could.
And yeah, for the other sleep for Christmas, that's usually
more of an option because it's like one, it's kind
of a family gift in two. As I say in
the discord, we tell our family members all the time,
they don't need anything. They have so much toys, so
much things that they already don't use. Don't buy them stuff,
buy them experiences and they'll still get stuff. And there's
block is everywhere I get it. They wanted to open
all the stuff on Christmas. So and that's like a maybe,
and we'll see what the situation is like when even
like consoles went right, because it could it be like
PlayStation five where it was a took a while to get.
But yeah, for me, it's just just the one game console.
I one hundred percent understand people to play handheld. I
see that. I'm a person that that thing has been
docked ninety eight percent of its life and it's gonna
be that way. I'm not gonna play handheld. I see
for the foreseeable future. The kids might be more in
the future now because they can partner with the switches
and whatnot, but uh, yeah, I'm not gonna. I knew
the price was gonna be an issue. When they didn't
have it in the thing, I put then the discord
and the juchat right away because it feels very odd.
That's like a staple of console releases, as like putting
the price at the very end, and when they didn't
have it, I'm like, oh, it is not that three
ninety nine three fifty that people were hoping. Because I
know people talk about it. It's a big jump that
the original switch was three hundred lots has changed since
that come out, right, So I get that, And I'm
not even saying I think there's stuff like we talk
about where there are kind of nickel and diming where
it is feels a little gross. But at the same point,
whether it's terror stuff going on, whether it's just making games,
whether it's industry in general, I imagine Xbox PlayStation six,
they're probably gonna be similar or more right, it's just
the industry in total, even stuff like GTA. I think
I am that camp where that game is probably gonna
cost at least one hundred dollars or more, and they
can they can do that because that game is gonna
be how many hours, how big and they're gonna sell, right,
But at the same time, that's gonna be make people
more cautious. That's gonna be make people that if they
don't do this for a job or have just nothing
but exposed income. Those families are people that buy one
to two games a year, maybe just one game. Will
that will happen when you have you know, it's a
little bit different for me because we do this as
a podcast, so I can double just five I want
to play it, but then I can also talk about it,
right and Z when you got kids and it's just
someone's like, hey, I want to buy this game, and
now game is one hundred and twenty dollars. That's multiple
hours of you at work, Like as I'm saying as
an adult, like, that's multiple of you put in work.
And that's not like me and Emma can go to
Costco and a Costco trip, which will be a bunch
of food, every thing. They'll cost me four hundred alls.
So you're saying almost half of that could be for
a game, you know, or something like that, or a
game out of controller. That's nuts. And I'm not saying
it's Nintendo. It's complete fault. It's just the day and
age we aren't. But that's where I really don't know
how this thing is gonna sell and how it's gonna do.
And I don't even think I said it's not like
a Nintendo thing. I think this is the price makes sense.
It sucks. I wish three ninety nine was it, like
obviously that would have been lower for us. I'm just
saying for the the American price. I was hoping was that.
It's not that, But I think it's just because the
world is in a much different place where, of course
you have tons of people that have, you know, lots
of money't great for them, but they're I feel like
since like I think about an election, like since pre Obama,
I don't think I'll say just North America, that'd be
America and Canada have been hurting as much economy wise,
and I don't think people have as much disposal income.
It's hard to get jobs now, it's hard to keep jobs.
All this talk of AI replacing jobs, like in the future,
are people what they're gonna work? How much are gonna pay?
And I think that's where I'm very curious and I'm
not gonna make a prediction because I'm the guy who
told you the Switch was gonna be a bomb and
it's our biggest thing. I remember we got that Switch
reveal event and I was like, man, this thing is
this is not it and this is just like an
that's the other thing too. To me, it feels like
it is more of a other than the games, an
addition for people that have a lot of money and
just oh I want the new thing and I want
the bigger screen, the big old pixels, everything like that.
I need to get it. I don't think it's they've
made the complete jump where you have to get it.
So yeah, I really I don't know how this is
gonna go. And that's for all consoles, not just not
just Nintendo. I think it's a lot of we talk
about it all the time of the movie stuff like
how many movies bomb because people just they're not gonna
go pay to see it. The same thing with myself,
the approach I'm taking this year as I'm playing games
that are like Alan Wake that I got for ten
bucks that I've been wanting to play my whole life,
instead of there's a couple def strand of course, go
to spend the money. But I think more people are
gonna be like that where it's like, you know what,
I can I can wait for Sevil time. So I'm
very curious how this goes for from June to Chris.
I'll say Juna January because I'll be curious to see
Christmas sales and stuff.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah. I I'm certainly on the fence right now.
I think, you know, for me, it's like for day one. Yeah, yeah,
I'm on the fence. So I'm I'm considering it because like, yeah,
the price is pretty savage. Could they do a price
drop if it doesn't do well? Maybe like they have
one that recent history. The three DS bombed hard at
the release and then they dropped it by like a
pretty significant amount and then like gave the people who
bought it like a little bonus. You know, the people
who did buy it beforehand.
Speaker 2: We you as well too, Like within a year that
thing was getting like fifty dollars seventy five dollars off,
you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know that could happen. But like, I
don't know what, are they gonna knock one hundred dollars
off of it or something, which is like okay, it's
not like the hugest difference if I rather than if
I just like got the thing day one, So you know,
that's definitely consideration. It's it's mostly the the game prices
are the true savagery of it, because like I think,
given once again how powerful the console itself is, I
can like see I can see why the cost is
justified there, and I think for me, like the bundle
definitely makes sense. I think most bundles I don't really like,
I don't really care for whatever it is, like the
the bundles that they set up aren't early ones for me,
especially like the early launch title stuff. But for this,
it's like, yeah, I would definitely get Mario Kart at
some point, so like, yeah, the bundle makes sense. Okay,
I save a little bit of money there. At least
it feels like I save a little bit of money there. Yeah,
but yeah, like Donkey Kong would be a day one
for sure, and then I would just be waiting in
the wings for a while, you know, like because I
don't I guess I didn't mention this, but like I don't.
I don't Dusk Blood. I don't like that title, by
the way, I don't think that's for me, Like I
don't think I'd be buying that Metroid Prime. I'm pretty
on the fence for what I spend one hundred and
twelve dollars for it. No, definitely not. I maybe even
just get like the Switch one version and just like
have this slightly worse version and like save a bunch
of money there and then like I don't know, I'd
kind of just wait and see what else comes. But
like here's my toxic Trait is like at some point
there's gonna be a Smash Bros. Game on this console,
and I will shell out whatever amount of money to
play that, and so it's like I might as well
get it now and then I can like play that.
Like I if it weren't for Smash, I probably would
not have bought a three DS or a WIU. And
I bought both those consoles to play Smash, even though
it was the same game to play because the three
DS one came out earlier. I pretty much bought a
three DS just to play that a few months before
it came out on the WU because that is how
obsessed I am with Smashed as a series, my favorite
series of all time. And so you know, like as
I we were talking about the Air Riders thing, probably
a few years off before a Smash game comes, and
maybe there's a price drop maybe in that amount of time.
But it's like, at some point I'm gonna get this
console anyway. Sure I could save one hundred dollars by
waiting five years, but like, maybe I'll just get it now,
and like I spent a one hundredrection dollars now. That's
kind of the way I'm justifying it for myself right now,
because I feel like I do need to justify it
because it is a pretty insane price. So I don't know,
maybe if I start budgeting now, I can make it
make it affordable in that way. So yeah, that's that's
kind of my train of thought with it. But it's
it's definitely it doesn't feel good to be nickel and
diamonds for these upgrades. It doesn't feel good that they
increase the price of the game as well as their
most expensive console by a wide margin. So you know,
it's it's a lot to contend with. I think. The
other side of this, though, is something that me and
Kirkland broke down with the Nintendo Direct from last week,
is that one of the new features that they have
implemented is this digital game card thing which makes sharing
games easier. So obviously it would be on the same
family play. But like, you know, if Taylor, because Taylor,
maybe he would pick this up day one. I could
see that being the case. You know, he and I
could like get on the same family plan and then
like we could either like just go halfers on Bonanza
and then like split it, and like I could like
lend him the game once I'm done with it or
something like that, or you know, if I just buy
the game, I can just lend it to him and
then he could play it for free and then you know,
he buys Pokemon Za what you know later and then
he lends it to me through that digital game card thing,
and so like that's a nice additional feature like that
that could help alleviate those really savage prices. Obviously, there's
a big limitation on that you both can't play the
same game at the same time. You know, you can't
like literally split it. You'd have to like go through
and like inchrance for me like forty bucks whatever. You
have to do these extra things. But there is at
least that feature there now, and obviously you have to
be on the same family plan. It's not perfect, but like, okay,
maybe that is a little bit of leaving the prices
and maybe that's why the praises as as high they
are because they have that feature, and so they got
to judg to find like, Okay, a lot of people
are gonna be buying a game because they just lend
it from their friend through our new digital game card thing,
so we got to make the prices a bit higher.
I hope that's not the case, because I'd rather just
like keep the prices where they were before and then
like don't have that feature. And then obviously they took
the voters away. Gold coins are gone now as well,
so you're not even getting those values that you used
to get for the switch in the last few years.
So it's rough. There's a lot of things here for sure.
And yeah, like I don't know, like Bonanza looks looks good?
Does it look one hundred and twelve one hundred and
twenty dollars good? No, I can't say it does. But
you know it's it's it's tricky, but I know I
smash is coming. That's that's my toxic trade. That's what
it comes down to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I get it. That's that same reason I've
always had, like I've owned every Nintendo because there's just
certain games that I need and smash. It's like I
didn't play a Lotyssey, but I knew I had to
get smashed at some point. It took me a little
longer just because it just always won't buy. But soon
the other one, so no, I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess my other thing too, is like I
normally I keep all my consoles. I don't sell my
previous one to get the upgrade one, just because I
don't know. I like to collect to some extent. I
like to have my stuff. But with the switch I
definitely would get rid of it because that thing, you know,
I hate the joy cons It like a lot of
these games run like crap. I can transfer it all
over and it'll just be better experienced on the switch
to there's no reason for me to keep the switch one,
so I'd try and sell that. I don't know how
much I can get for a US switch one, especially
because the data transfer stuff like you need your switch
one to do that, so I'd have to keep the
console sell it afterwards, which you know it'll probably have
less value after the switch two has come out, but
I'll probably do that too, So maybe that's a way
I can justify, Like, Okay, at least I bought myself
one hundred and fifty bucks there. Maybe I can sell
off someone of the Switch one games that I don't
really plan on playing again as well, and maybe that's
another way I can kind of kind of sort of
justify it. So I don't know. Maybe that's working into
the calculus a little bit to make that decision, but
I'm not decided yet. I don't know what the pre
order I don't know if the pre order require is
like your credit card however, you just get on the
waiting list kind of thing like the like, I don't
know how how that would work. I guess you probably
do have to put your credit card in a checkout,
so I guess i'd kind of to commit to it.
So we'll see. Did they did you see if they
have like a pre order date yet?
Speaker 2: I thought there was you had to sign up for
pre orders the same day. I think it's a pre
order date, but I thought there was like a sign
up thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, to get on a wait wait list sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Look into that just to get the option.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, it's it's it's pretty rough. Uh,
I hate to see it. I think once again, the
console price justified for me the games that's a little
bit worse forever. But we'll see what they do. We'll
see if it's a sliding scale of prices or if
they just make everything that eighty at a minimum, like
I imagine Mario Kart and and Donkey Kong will be. But
like no, maybe are they on.
Speaker 2: Ten dollars cheaper than Mario Kart. Yeah, so there already
is a different scale goinging on.
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, that's kind of kind of strange stuff going.
Speaker 2: It is strange. I would have thought those would have
been the same, but no, it's like whatever it is.
It's like if Mark Kart. Yeah, it's like if Mark
Kurt's eighty, Dounkon's seventy. O watch every way you get it.
So that's where the hope is that, yeah, going for
that could be the case because there's some gingmes we
talk about where it's like that should be cheaper price,
but I honestly think that could be. It's kind of
funny again we talked about the firm software game. I
think everyone like the joke was whether it be rock Star,
but especially even just Xbox or PlayStation in general. I
think everyone thought this was kind of gonna be the
case with one of them. And it's weird that Nintendo
is the first one doing it because many people that
are in the industry have theorized, hey, you know, next decade,
you're gonna get like different. We've always seen a little
bit bit different pricing of this game costs this, this
game costs that versus how much size is right. And
to see Nintendo being the first one to really play
with that on a big scale, it is crazy because,
like I said, I am in the camp that come fall,
we're gonna get a lot of people upset about that
GTA price, but they're gonna buy it because it's grand theft.
And then once once it's like to me, it's a
want two punch. The switching's happening, and then GTA is happening.
Twenty twenty six, all bets are off for where games
could be. We're gonna get games say oh, this is
like thirty forty, that's great, and then games like yeah,
this is one hundred twenty dollars. You won't play.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, yeah, we'll see what they do with
Kirby Air Ride, just because like, yeah, if you charge
seventy dollars or more for that, you're off your rock
or there's no way that that game is going to sell,
even though it has the Sacari name on it, and
like the Smash Bros. Team made this game, like that
would be ridiculous. So yeah, that that'll be a really
interesting testing ground. Do you think GT six will be
a day one switch to game? Is it powerful enough
to run GT six?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. That feels I just feel like
because I feel like Grand Theft Auto is always not
a leap ahead as far as all they've done some
new because we know what Grand Theft is gonna be,
but the size of it's always a leap ahead. You're
always impressed by the scale and the mass of it.
So that'd be impressive, But I don't think. I don't
think so.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: If I had to, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I guess we'll get GT five on the switch
to probably for of course GT six we can't play this.
Speaker 2: You can played GT.
Speaker 1: Five, Yeah, because I think they have that that trilogy
on switch I think so, Yeah, Janky Ass Remaster trilogy
that they made there. I think that is everything. Any
any other thoughts there, Trevis.
Speaker 2: No, Like I said, now we transition to the part
that I like is the you know, well, I like
just to be cheaper and on it. But the thing
that interests me is it's only in June's we'll see
more layout and it's not like it was like oh
like us surf, Like that felt like a general ripple
of there was the console, like the conference and that
was like the price and that was like a whoa,
and I agree with you were not in the console.
I did see more people talk about the games because
that will stack up. So and that's where we've I
don't think it's gonna be the situation, but we've seen
that before where we all lived through that ripple of
the Xbox Series one or whatever it was, the one
X and it was like, oh, yeah, this is not good.
And then when it came downs like oh that really changed.
And I like, it's almost everything nowadays. Like we talk
about movies, we talked about Hey, we just talked about
Supermammi and Dale on newscasts like I can see a
world where that makes a billion, I can see where
that bombs. I can see a world where the switch
to does phenomenal and it's just chugging along all these
great things, and then I can see a world where
it's like vastly underperforming and it's not like and not
like I said, not just because Nintendo, just because the
world is different, Like that's.
Speaker 1: The literally because of the price and not any other factor. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we're in a situation where now gaming's starting
to come more of a if you want to be
up to date, if you want to have the newest stuff,
newest game, new console. It's becoming like a like one
percent type of goal and to have everything right. It's
not like you know, like yeah, if you want to
just have a game, now, you can buy PS five,
And like I said, there's or fuck an Xbox Games Pass.
How many games go and sale. There's so many games
out there, but it's like if you want that one
thing anyone now it's a big luxury ticket. And that's
where we're gonna see what happens. And it's gonna be
who knows what happens because PS five, even that start
to sell, it's like slower, but then that chugged along,
right and that's sold farewell. I don't know where it
is in the charts, and switch might be that situation,
or again there remyber that situation. We'll also see the
handheld players. There might be tons of families that are
like myself that keep that thing docked. And it's like
when the kid says, hey, I want to switch to well,
your switch one works, fine, why do you need this?
It's four hundred if you're in Canada, six seven hundred dollars. No,
thank you, not right now. So it's it's a lot
of things for entertainment to be dealing with, so excited
to see what happens. But yeah, hopefully, hopefully it all
goes well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we will keep an eye on this. As mentioned,
there's a there's those two tree House events, so I'll
catch up on those at some point and maybe share
some of that next week's side quest. Then we have
the Mark Heart direct coming out pretty soon here, and
then this Bad Boys releasing in.
Speaker 2: What is it? What is June?
Speaker 1: And we're in April, so April May June, so oh
my god, two months away. That's pretty it's coming upretty quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's closed, so.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we uh yeah, we will check in on
this Bad Boys. We get more more information. Thank you
everyone for listening, Thank you Travis for joining me late
night for the Plasma Boys tonight. But a good night nonetheless,
and we will see you again next time. Bye bye,
