Japan 12 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,399 is coming up really really quickly. I think it's like 13 00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:52,039 thirty eight days away. We have a little countdown going 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,759 on on our calendar, and uh yeah, no, it's it's exciting. 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,759 We're gonna be talking a little bit Nintendo stuff in there, 16 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,399 and I'm gonna be going to Universal Studio with the 17 00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:03,520 Nintendo World. So yeah, no, I'm getting into the into 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,879 the groove here, excited right on. 19 00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is gonna be a fun episode, mostly talking 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,560 about the intended direct and then of course starting with 21 00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:11,640 the games we've been playing, which I have a fun 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,200 one to talk about there. So yeah, pretty simple, straightforward episode, 23 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:17,200 but a good one. Nonetheless, I feel like it's crazy. 24 00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:21,879 There was through July and August there was three Nintendo directs. 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,640 Now we have this one here, and of course they 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,680 are all different scales and different focuses and whatnot, but 27 00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:28,840 it's just been an overall extreme blast and I'm sure 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,280 this is the Well. Actually this isn't even the last 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,159 one of the year, because they announced another word Kirby 30 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:34,400 one happening, so we're gonna get at least one more direct. 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,480 Saw some rumors swirling that a Nintendo or Sony showcases 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,799 happening soon, so we'll see if that happens. I don't 33 00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:43,799 think Xbox has anything else but game wards, but all 34 00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:45,959 that stuff's coming up pretty soon because we're already halfway 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,400 through September so and October has insane amount of games 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,640 coming out that I'm gonna be playing a lot of. 37 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:53,200 So it's gonna be a good closing out to the 38 00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:57,159 fall here. But let's let's let's get into the games 39 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:00,840 we've been playing. You know, just Silksong I talked about 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,480 last week. I beat that game today, Kirkling second try 41 00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:07,879 on the on the Final Boss. Might I add so 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,120 many other bosses destroyed me tens of times. Some of 43 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,120 the final boss I was just dialed in and then 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,719 there's like a different alternate thing you can do, and 45 00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:17,639 you have to beat it again to get to this 46 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:20,000 other bonus game postgame area kind of thing. 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: First try on that time, So I don't know this. 48 00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: This final boss fucking hooped them and smack it down, 49 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:27,360 so that felt pretty good. I think I'm gonna do 50 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:31,439 a spoiler episode about that, just the solo one, later 51 00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,159 this week, so stay tuned to the feeds for that, people, 52 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,639 because I'm gonna sharel I don't want to bore Kirkling 53 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,759 here with all these little intricate details about a game 54 00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:40,400 he hasn't played, unless he wanted to surprise me with 55 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:41,919 the game he's been playing this week and throw it 56 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,240 in the mix, but assumeing not. I'll save those thoughts 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,000 for a few days from now. So the other main 58 00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:49,680 game I've been playing over the last few weeks here 59 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,479 is Tony Hawk's pro Skter three plus four. So this is, 60 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,520 of course the remake remaster that came out in July, 61 00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:00,360 but I'm finally playing it as of now. Before we 62 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,840 get into that, I want to kind of you know 63 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,960 circle it a little bit as we like do like 64 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,319 a couple of vultures. Have you played three or four? 65 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,080 Three and or four? Uh? 66 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: Yes, it was on the PlayStation monthly release a couple 67 00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:19,039 of months. This was then is this the new one? 68 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,400 Or am I thinking of the other one? 69 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:21,599 Speaker 1: So they? 70 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:24,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, they did one plus two like a few years ago. 71 00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: I think that would be the one then that I 72 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,039 that I played. 73 00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: On PS plus or was it a monthly game? 74 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,759 Speaker 1: What's the situation there, because I guess that's still even 75 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,840 though it's owned by Xbox and this one, this new 76 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,039 one's on game Pass. That one point plus two is 77 00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:37,800 not on game Pass yet, which is trouble. I've been 78 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,680 waiting for that. It's weird the new ones on there. 79 00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,680 But I didn't see it on PlayStation Plus either, So 80 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,080 it must have been a monthly game or something. 81 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: That's too bad, I think, yeah, because it was. 82 00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me look here. 83 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:47,719 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it. 84 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: Was a monthly game because I got pretty excited to 85 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,000 see it on because I'm always checking those every month 86 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,439 and just adding to the library there. 87 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I should have subscribed for that one month. 88 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Maybe it happened one before I had a PS five 89 00:03:57,639 --> 00:03:58,919 or something, because the game did come out of it. 90 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,599 Speaker 2: It was a little while ago now, like I think 91 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,759 it was I want to say, over twelve months, like 92 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,520 like maybe over a year ago now. But I jumped 93 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,639 in there and I dabbled and I put in I'm 94 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:10,960 pretty sure it was the same one that we. 95 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: Played on the stream. 96 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,159 Speaker 1: That's correct. We were okay plus So yeah, I would 97 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,199 have been that one. So three and four did you 98 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,839 play either of those back in the days? 99 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: I maybe, but like really not familiar. Yeah, it was 100 00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:26,920 your big Thug guys. I know that absolutely. Like pro 101 00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:27,560 Skater two. 102 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,439 Speaker 2: I remember playing that at like my cousin's house or something, 103 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,319 but it wasn't until the Thug era that I actually 104 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,600 got my hands onto one. 105 00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: M hm. 106 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,079 Speaker 3: Yeah. 107 00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:39,399 Speaker 1: For me, I had two pro Skater two on the 108 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,720 N sixty four and it was the reason it's memorable 109 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,000 to me is because it was one of the few 110 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,439 yellow carts that and Donkey Kong sixty four were the 111 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,839 yellow carts. And then I had like the gold Majora's 112 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,079 Mask one. But man, I did not get into that 113 00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:52,680 game at all, Like I think it was too hard 114 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,439 for me. That was like before Thug where there was 115 00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:56,079 like you know, the time limit on each level, like 116 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360 the two minute time limit kind of thing, and like 117 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,279 I was even just today, I was looking up, like, 118 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,360 what are the maps in two again? And I literally 119 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,920 only recognized the first one, So I don't know if 120 00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:05,920 I ever even made it past the first level of 121 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,000 that game, which is crazy because back then it was 122 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,959 four era, I owned like eight games, you know, so 123 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,120 I was playing them like by the end of that 124 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,639 console's lifespan for me, so I was playing all my 125 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:17,439 games a lot, but that one just didn't click for 126 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,439 me at the time. And then in the GameCube era 127 00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:21,439 with Thug and then even American Wasteline is when I 128 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,279 played a lot of as well. Not as many times 129 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,199 as Thug, but yeah, that's kind of where I fell 130 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,720 in love with the series. And I had another one 131 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,759 on game Boy Advance, which sucked. I hate those like 132 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:33,199 portable ones were not very good in my opinion. And 133 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,600 then I remember, specifically because I didn't get a Wee 134 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,120 at launch. I was trying to but it was like 135 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,279 sold out everywhere, and I don't know what the pre 136 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,920 order situation was like, but I remember a few months 137 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:45,000 down the line finally getting a Wei. I think the 138 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,839 two games I had Day one. Of course, we sports 139 00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:51,879 also Excite Truck and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. I think 140 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,839 that was out like around that time. That's because it 141 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,959 seems to I have a distinct memory of that being 142 00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:57,279 one of like the early games I had on the 143 00:05:57,319 --> 00:05:59,600 WI and loved that back in the day. But man, 144 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,680 that's all one that like has completely fled my mind. 145 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,360 I like looking up the maps for that one. I'm like, 146 00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,240 I don't really remember any of these except for like 147 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,600 maybe one or two. I remember a couple of the characters, 148 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,439 but yeah, it's like really fled my mind. And Thug 149 00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,480 is the one that I just always revisit. And I 150 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,399 think it's because like not just you, but like all 151 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:16,959 my other friends or my cousin, Like that was everyone's 152 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,160 favorite growing up, you know, so it's like you just 153 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,000 played at friend's house. You'd be talking about at the time, 154 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,079 getting nostalgic about it. And it is one that I've 155 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:25,879 revisited more than even like American Waste One, which I 156 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:27,160 don't know why, because I feel like those games are 157 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,639 probably very similar, But for some reason, Thug was the 158 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,480 one that always spoke to me. And so yeah, this 159 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:34,399 is my first time playing really any of these maps. 160 00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:35,800 And I've seen a few streams, like one of my 161 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,680 favorite streamers last year was doing Tony October where he's 162 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,959 playing through every single Tony Hawk game. Like each stream 163 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,839 he was just kind of blasting through one of them. 164 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,319 And so I've seen these maps, and like other videos 165 00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:47,600 and whatnot, I've seen a lot of these maps in passing, 166 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,279 so it's interesting to see them get the glow up. 167 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,279 And I don't know, of course, not all the intimate 168 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,680 details until now that I've been playing through three plus four, 169 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,040 But yeah, this is pretty similar to that one plus 170 00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:59,439 two remake from what I understand, where it's just taking 171 00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:02,000 the games, kind of giving them a new code of paint, 172 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,000 taking out a lot of these you know, a lot 173 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,879 of those the game.

But one of the really fun things. 361 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: Once you beat a level, do all of it, you 362 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,159 can do the speed run of it, and so you 363 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:17,320 can try and get all those objectives in like a 364 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,919 short amount of time. So and then like there's a challenge. 365 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,000 Usually for most of them, that's like around four minutes. 366 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,559 So to get all these objectives within four minutes has 367 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:26,279 been a really fun challenge. I've only done on a 368 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,720 couple levels because I'm still so bad at this game, 369 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,519 but man planning out like Okay, what does the exact 370 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:32,759 droud I need to take to get all the skate 371 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,159 letters as quick as possible, and then also along the 372 00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:37,320 way stop and like, okay, knock these things off my 373 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,399 bucket list, and then also make sure I end up 374 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,840 kind of in like a nice pool area so I 375 00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,200 can just like crush it with some score to close 376 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,679 it out there. Super duper fun and I'm really really 377 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,240 locked in for some of that, other than the fact 378 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,120 that some of these layer levels I can't even get 379 00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,759 the high score even though like take away the speed 380 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:54,600 run time or I can't even do it at all, 381 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:57,039 Like I'm just not good enough at the game for 382 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,759 that kind of thing yet. So it's yeah, it's fun 383 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,519 feeling like a first time playing Tony Hawk again just 384 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,399 in terms of my skill level. But man, this makes 385 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,120 me under round right into one plus two and just 386 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,080 like plug through that now that I'm on a bit 387 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,320 of a streak and I'm building up that muscle memory again. 388 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,120 But yeah, I'm really it's funny too, like I'm playing 389 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,159 this now like last week that skate early Access release, 390 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,039 so like I have both these series back in the 391 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,080 same year. Is interesting, and I don't know, I'm hopeful 392 00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:23,840 for what we get kind of in the future here 393 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,279 with more skateboarding games and what then you're next with 394 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,840 the Tony Hawk, because like, I don't know, do you 395 00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:31,600 think they would do Underground Underground two remake remastered? Do 396 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,159 you think it's time? Like okay, maybe they're set up 397 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,960 to make their own game now because one thing I 398 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,919 haven't mentioned as there's three new levels in this game 399 00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:39,759 that I've never appeared in any game before Movie Studio, 400 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,360 which is kind of what it sounds like. It's super 401 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,600 fun water Park, which is like a just once again 402 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:47,399 decrepit like worn down water park, and then Pinball, which 403 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,519 is like a crazy one where you're like a little 404 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:51,240 guy in a pinball machine and you look up and 405 00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:53,519 there's a gigantic Tony Hawk like playing. 406 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,759 Speaker 3: The pin Bull. 407 00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:56,679 Speaker 1: That's funny and all through these levels are amazing, like 408 00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:58,200 some of the best in the game overall, And so 409 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,639 it's like, Damn, I won this team to make new 410 00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,000 maps and do it their own game because their level 411 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,120 design is peak, like especially water Park and Pindlic. These 412 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,879 are really great maps, even I think top some of 413 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,279 like some of the ones in Thugg, which I'm deeply 414 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:14,159 nostalgic for. That just shows how good they are. So 415 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,120 I hope, I hope they get the chance, But yeah, 416 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360 what would you like to see next from them? 417 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,679 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, like when I dabbled on one and two, 418 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:23,960 it was fun to kind of get into those old 419 00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:26,919 maps that I remember playing and enjoying. But it just 420 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,000 doesn't really seem like the type of game like I'm 421 00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:31,200 really seeking out these days. Like I think part of 422 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,000 me is like wanting to just wait for that skate game, 423 00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:38,320 you know, just just different gameplay mechanics. But man, i'd 424 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,799 be lying if I wouldn't be a pretty easy sell. 425 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,840 I think if they did a remake of Thug like 426 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,159 I always enjoyed, Like there's many aspects to thug that 427 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,960 I enjoyed over the pro skaters, but just like the 428 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,120 story is just so fun to kind of go through 429 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:50,480 if you. 430 00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:52,639 Speaker 3: Just started this little local skater. 431 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: And then you go to like the big contests, and 432 00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,320 those were always just so fun, and I'm sure those 433 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,440 like cut scenes and the story is so aged. 434 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: So I'm curious if they would just if they do 435 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,399 go that route, they just completely re like. 436 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: Just do what was already done, or if they try 437 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,119 and I don't know, redo some things, because it sounds 438 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,720 like they've already it's just kind of the maps, but 439 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:13,440 they are changing some things from the original. And does 440 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,279 three and four have the original tracks? I heard they 441 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,720 changed that or something like the music is I think it's. 442 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,839 Speaker 1: Almost all new, or at least like they could only 443 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,039 they were only able to get some of the original ones, 444 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:25,799 or maybe the price for. 445 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 3: Some of those has gone up. I'm not exactly sure 446 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,480 they have changed it. 447 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a big podcast game for me, 448 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,839 so like I I feel like I'm listen to any 449 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,079 music anyway, but I wouldn't and since I haven't played. 450 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,519 Speaker 3: The originals, I wouldn't really catch the difference. 451 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:40,559 Speaker 1: But it's you know, as far as background noise going 452 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,000 like it feels very Tony Hawk to me. But yeah, 453 00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:46,519 like I'm not really paying too much attention to that 454 00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:48,440 that detail, but I can definitely see That's another reason 455 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,359 why some people are kind of pissed about this, because 456 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,319 it's like not like that that music is so important 457 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,000 for the vibe of this game, right, and so for 458 00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:57,599 a lot of people who are specially nostalgic for the 459 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,880 tracks that were in these games to not have that anymore, 460 00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,920 I can see why that's a bummer. But also you 461 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,440 all got a phone a Spotify on it that has 462 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,880 these songs on it playlist, and then you know it's 463 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,000 not the best solution obviously, but like you. 464 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: Can do it. 465 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:13,319 Speaker 1: Man. 466 00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:15,279 Speaker 2: You just reminded me as I work today and I 467 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:17,000 can't I can't remember what song it was, but I 468 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:18,920 heard the song and I'm like, man, this is from 469 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,000 cool borders, like specifically like the PlayStation one, like Snowboarding game. 470 00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:25,559 Hadn't heard it since then, but man, just just hearing 471 00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,079 those certain music and like even pro Skater one or two, 472 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,400 like just the tracks that would I remember playing Tony 473 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680 Hawks Underground and stuff like that, because there's just always 474 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,960 music blasting, you know, when you're doing those those uh 475 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:38,519 those runs when you're trying to get the two minute 476 00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:40,839 time or whatnot. But yeah, I getting back to the 477 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,400 question at hand, I think it would be Tony Knock 478 00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,079 Underground would be a really good sell for me, especially 479 00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:47,079 if it is one and two. 480 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: Uh they do three. 481 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,839 Speaker 2: They didn't do three, did they? Tony Hawks Underground three. 482 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:53,559 That's when they went into like American Wasteland. 483 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly America was I think there was eight was 484 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,680 like another one might have been a Wasteland too. No, 485 00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:01,279 there wasn't a Wasteline too. Yeah, project they I think 486 00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:03,839 at somewhere that they did a pro Skater five which 487 00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:07,799 like everyone hated apparently it was very good. Yeah, Project eight. 488 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,759 There was like Shred, which is the one where they 489 00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:12,079 had the peripheral with like the little skateboard on your 490 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:16,400 Oh yeah one that was we and then there was 491 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,480 like there was also like Tony Hawk Motion I think, 492 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:20,200 which I I forget if it was a phone game 493 00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:23,079 or a wei game with a waggle or whatever. But yeah, 494 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,039 they've definitely they lifinitely lost lost their. 495 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: Way after I haven't because you have you you haven't 496 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,559 played Thug two or or have you played Thug too. No, 497 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:32,759 I played Thug two. Okay, Okay, I like that one 498 00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:36,559 a lot. Wasn't that one like very Jackass inspired? 499 00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:39,559 Speaker 1: Like, wasn't it like all the Jackass characters because Babar 500 00:19:39,759 --> 00:19:40,880 was huge in that era, and so. 501 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 3: I for sure the story and made it the opening. 502 00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: It seems like a like a like a scene out 503 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,000 of Jackass, like like kidnapped people and they like make 504 00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:50,160 this guy pe like it's just very sure. 505 00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: Very stupid. Yeah, yeah, which, you know, I almost nostalgic 506 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,279 for Jackass. That was a big This arrow was very iconic. 507 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,000 So it's it's crazy to me that I never played Thug. 508 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:04,400 It feels like the easiest rental of all time, or 509 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,359 like someone in my life would have owned it. But yeah, 510 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,319 I just never never happened across my doorstep. But I 511 00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:11,640 guess I just skipped it and went right to American 512 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,759 Waistline for whatever reason. But yeah, I just feel like 513 00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:20,440 those games are probably individually bigger than pro Skater one 514 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,160 through four, and so I wonder if they would do 515 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,240 the combo pack, and especially since they're more story based, 516 00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:28,880 I don't know if the remaster bundle makes as much 517 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,799 sense for them because it's not like it's one cohesive story, 518 00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,359 whereas these games don't really have a story one through four, right, Yeah, 519 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,160 they have like individual little moments in the levels, but 520 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,319 not like an overarching thing. 521 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, I wonder how they would do that. 522 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,319 Speaker 1: I feel like they could get away with just selling 523 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,920 a Thug one remake at this scale with like the 524 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,960 full price and maybe add a couple of new maps 525 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 in there or something like that, or remake some of 526 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,079 them or something like. I wouldn't want them to change 527 00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:55,359 too much, but some levels, like you know, like Hotter 528 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,759 than Hell, the Kiss level where Kiss are on stage, 529 00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:02,000 like cool idea, but like not really that interesting. It's 530 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,519 pretty empty, like boring when you actually play it. So 531 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,880 I don't know even just like adding a couple bells 532 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000 and whistles on there. And I think even in that 533 00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:12,920 original Thug they had like some remakes of games the 534 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:14,359 one through four, So I don't know if they would 535 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,920 do that for a remake now because they just did 536 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,279 remakes of like these other games, right, so it might 537 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,119 make sense to add a couple of fresh new maps 538 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,400 in there, which would be cool or something else. But 539 00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:24,839 I think they would maybe go that ud instead of 540 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,039 bundling Thug one plus two. But I would want them 541 00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:28,279 to do that because I, like I said, I haven't 542 00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:29,680 played too so that would be a good chance for 543 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,319 MENA finally knock that game off the backlog. 544 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 2: Do they do they have like the same skaters like 545 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,680 the people that you'd be playing in the game, or 546 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,720 did they because I thought for one and two they like. 547 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: Brought in like more modern people. 548 00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of new people in here, and 549 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,119 I know that they at least removed a couple people 550 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,839 from the OG one or if not more than that. 551 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,519 I think it's like the biggest roster Tony Hawk game 552 00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:57,160 has ever had. But you know, that's adding a lot 553 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,240 of new people that didn't exist back then or were 554 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:02,119 babies back then, whatever. But yeah, also remove some some 555 00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:04,799 that are some favorites. And then there's on the X 556 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,599 I don't know if it's on the PlayStation version as well, 557 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,400 but they have Doomslayer and like one of the beasts 558 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,279 from Doom in here as playable characters. There's also I 559 00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:17,680 think it's Michael Angelo like the TM and t like 560 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:21,559 the Turtle, but only one of them, like not all four, 561 00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:23,720 which is super weird. There is like a in the 562 00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:25,759 movie studio level there. At one point there's like a 563 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,559 sewer grain drain whatever the heck. That's like bouncing up 564 00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:31,319 and down and you can like acid drop into it. 565 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,359 And then you drop into like a little TMNT section 566 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,480 which is like five seconds long. 567 00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:37,559 Speaker 3: It's not much, but it's just like a sewer area. 568 00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:38,880 And then there's also. 569 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: A bikini bottom SpongeBob area, and skater island. You fly 570 00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,559 off the front of a pirate ship and go underwater, 571 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,000 but like SpongeBob is not a playable character or anything 572 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000 like that. And then I don't know if you gonna 573 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,920 walk him. But one of the characters in four that 574 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,960 I didn't know is in here is Jack Blacks, like 575 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000 a voice actor. He plays like a cop essentially in 576 00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:00,599 this who like can teleport around. It's like crazy, And 577 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,039 he's in here too. I don't know if he recorded 578 00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:03,640 new lines or if they just used the same ones, 579 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,839 but he's still in there. I hope you can unlock him, 580 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,359 and he has a couple of quips if you pick 581 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,440 him and like do cool tricks and stuff, because I 582 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,000 would like to do that. But yeah, I think they 583 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:15,240 definitely called some people to make room for some new ones, 584 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,759 although I've been using a custom skater for almost all 585 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:21,079 this so far, but there's a bunch of challenges for 586 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,200 like every individual character, so a lot of cool stuff 587 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,240 in there. Now, that's the thing I'm also nostalgic for, 588 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,400 just like when you re you boot up one of 589 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,839 these games and they just have like live action, like 590 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,000 actual footage of these skaters doing cool tricks. Because I 591 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:34,200 feel like in the age of YouTube, I should have 592 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:37,039 some like skateboarding YouTubers that I just follow and watch 593 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:39,720 some cool new stuff. But I just I feel like 594 00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:43,440 it's been so long since I've consumed skateboarding content, so 595 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,240 I don't know, it's been It's been fun, but yeah, 596 00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:46,119 what is the Barracks? 597 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,759 Speaker 3: I haven't heard of that? 598 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 2: Oh man, that was like high school. I think it 599 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,920 was high school. It was when I first like got 600 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,039 experience experience with it. It was like a skate park 601 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:59,720 that a couple pro skaters owned. Okay, oh my gosh, 602 00:23:59,799 --> 00:24:03,920 I don't even remember like their names. Now I'm I'm 603 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,960 aging myself because I feel like I just followed all 604 00:24:06,039 --> 00:24:09,920 these all these famous skate pard Yeah. Absolutely, but they 605 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,480 had yeah, they had their own YouTube channel. They also 606 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,559 had like a shop and then they would do like 607 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,079 basically like a massive skate tournament with like just a 608 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,519 plethora of like professionals, so it would just be like 609 00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:24,359 YouTube series doing stuff like that, or maybe like like 610 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,559 a famous person coming to the you know, like their 611 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,680 little skate park, and then it's just like just a 612 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,200 YouTube channel. So I would follow that and then tie 613 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,599 that in with I think it was called skate League 614 00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:37,160 or or something like that. It was basically like the 615 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,119 World Cup of like skateboarding. Yeah, it's been a while 616 00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:42,880 I watch these, so maybe you know I'm getting some 617 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,119 names wrong here, but definitely an era. 618 00:24:46,039 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: Interesting you mentioned that because like, since you know, this 619 00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:51,200 game originally release and now like skateboarding is in the 620 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,880 Olympics now, and I think some of the characters in 621 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,920 here are like Olympians for skateboarding, which is cool to 622 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,640 have that kind of crossover because that, yeah, just didn't 623 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,720 exist back in the dank skateboarding add like two or 624 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,319 three Olympics ago or something like that, so it's still 625 00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:04,720 pretty fresh in the mix. Of course, they've always had 626 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,519 like X Games or whatever, like all these other things, 627 00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:08,680 but the Olympics is something a bit different. So I 628 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,079 think that's pretty cool that they can get some of 629 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,279 those people in there, and I think from what I understand, 630 00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:14,519 like the Japanese skateboarding scene is like blown up over 631 00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:15,200 the last few years. 632 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 3: It's like huge now. 633 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: So they have a few Japanese characters in here too, 634 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,480 which is which is really awesome. So yeah, there's some 635 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,680 some nice details in the mix there. 636 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,759 Speaker 3: Eric Costin, that was Eric. I don't know if he 637 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,960 is in Steve bar. 638 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Yeah, I'd have to go look at the 639 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:36,279 roster because it's pretty big. Yeah. Some the other level 640 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000 highlights for me, of course, Canada a classic if you 641 00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:41,599 played have you played the Canada level in any future game, 642 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:44,559 because a lot of the games have like old I 643 00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:46,480 think Canada has come back. 644 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 3: A couple of Thughead Vancouver, but like. 645 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: So just that. Yeah, so this one's like very because 646 00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:56,640 Vancouver isn't like a snowy location. But of course every 647 00:25:56,839 --> 00:25:58,440 Canada level and any video game has to be like 648 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,720 just covered in snow, so this one is more generics 649 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,640 snow in that way. Like one of the objectives is 650 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,240 like a guy got his stung, his his tongue stuck 651 00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:06,839 on a pole, so you have to knock him off 652 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,880 or there's like a bully who's under a big tree 653 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,680 covered in snow, so you have to like smack the 654 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,759 tree and drop the snow on this bully and all 655 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:14,720 this crazy stuff. And there's kind of like a skate 656 00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:16,880 park area and then like just like a. 657 00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 3: Wild area with a forest, couple of trees, a bunch 658 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,720 of wild things like that. So that one's a classic. 659 00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Of course, As I mentioned Skater Island, it's a small level, 660 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,000 but I think it has a really cool design. Los Angeles, 661 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,680 I think is the one that's been remade a bunch 662 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,839 of times in other games. Alcatraz is a really fun setting. 663 00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:35,480 It has like a very big vertical sequence to it, 664 00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:37,839 so you can just get some crazy airs flying off 665 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,160 like the top of it. So that one's really good. Yeah, 666 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,440 I mentioned Movie Studio. Water Park, San Francisco is like 667 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,000 the tutorial level but also has a bunch of objectives 668 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,880 because it's a faint it's a full main level later on, 669 00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:50,640 and I love the design of it. I thought it 670 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,759 was super good. So yeah, I like, yeah, this game 671 00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:55,440 is really really great, really funny get back in the 672 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,200 Tony Hawk vibe and yeah, like I said, I might 673 00:26:58,279 --> 00:27:00,680 just because I saw it's like on sale right now 674 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,839 in PlayStation. I might just buy one plus two and 675 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,160 get right into it because I kind of want to. Yeah, 676 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,000 I just want to keep this train going here, So yeah, 677 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000 I might might pick that up because, love me, some 678 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:12,440 Tony Hawks want to get back in there. 679 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 3: Hell yeah, m hmm. 680 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: I think that is about all I wanted to talk 681 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,119 about with that game. 682 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 3: Uh, Kirklam, what have you been playing? Uh? Yeah? 683 00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:28,519 Speaker 2: I boot it up randomly because I was watched, Oh Shane, 684 00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:32,720 I watched Uncharted okay a little while ago. Didn't get 685 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,480 through the whole the whole movie I was. I was 686 00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,319 pretty uninterested and fall asleep, but I was like, man, 687 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,759 I gotta play some more Naughty Dog adventures. And of 688 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:43,119 course I had the Drake Nathan Drake collection on my 689 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,440 PlayStation so installed that I've in the past played through 690 00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:50,200 Uncharted two, which was probably like my favorite game at 691 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,160 that time. I was just randomly going through my PlayStation 692 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,279 trophies and I was like ninety eight percent of the 693 00:27:56,319 --> 00:27:57,920 way for the platinum. I don't know why I didn't 694 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,759 get the platinum.

With 830 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,000 Dark Souls, it's very simplified in comparison to that, and 831 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,319 and it's not so much like galactic scale, like like 832 00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:09,000 what elder Ring kind of goes with.

It was me and Travis there. Well, 1146 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,280 Travis bailed in the final announcement because he had to 1147 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,239 start his day. I was there the whole thing. Kirkle 1148 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,119 was there for fifty minutes, Taylor was there for half 1149 00:48:08,119 --> 00:48:10,840 an hours. It's kind of all of us. We all 1150 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,559 popped in for different parts of it, but yeah, it 1151 00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:16,440 was you know, mostly or the first maybe quarter of 1152 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,599 it or third of it, I should say, was kind 1153 00:48:18,599 --> 00:48:21,440 of the Mario fortieth anniversary sort of section of it. 1154 00:48:21,639 --> 00:48:22,920 And then they went in and they even kind of 1155 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,800 broke up like that in the direct itself, and then 1156 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,880 they went to all the other stuff, which had a 1157 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,880 lot of release dates. We've been looking forward to some 1158 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,039 third party stuff, some new Nintendo games, all sorts of things. 1159 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,119 I think the sentiment to capture all of us on 1160 00:48:36,159 --> 00:48:39,960 the stream was a lot of us were quite underwhelmed, 1161 00:48:41,039 --> 00:48:42,920 not super vibing with it, a little disappointed with some 1162 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,440 of the announcements or maybe some of the pricing of things, 1163 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,079 and by the end of it, like, oh, that was fine, 1164 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,480 because hoping for maybe a couple more things, maybe some 1165 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,960 more surprises that kind of stuff, which is interesting because 1166 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,960 then I've listened to some other podcasts or whatever impressions 1167 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,199 of it, and seems the people super duper hot on this. 1168 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,480 And as I've watched it again, as I was doing 1169 00:49:03,519 --> 00:49:05,559 so to take notes, went through it and it's like, yeah, 1170 00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:06,320 this actually is a. 1171 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,519 Speaker 3: Pretty solid direct. I think I was missed. 1172 00:49:08,519 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I woke up and was watching it 1173 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,760 at six am or something, and that was like I 1174 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,320 was extra unagreeable. I hadn't had my caffeine yet, so 1175 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,519 I needed some higher quality things. Overall, I think there 1176 00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:20,239 could have been one or two more things personal to me. 1177 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,079 There's just a lot of things in here that whole 1178 00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:24,800 cool or maybe not games I'm necessarily not picking up 1179 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,000 and so that's maybe a point of disappointment. And then 1180 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,559 one particular thing with contended search online that was kind 1181 00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:32,039 of a bummer for me. But there is at least 1182 00:49:32,119 --> 00:49:34,320 one in here that's like a huge, great announcement that 1183 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,760 I'm excited to see. So overall, I think I'm more, 1184 00:49:37,639 --> 00:49:39,239 you know, maybe above average on it. I think it 1185 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,360 was decent. I can see why it's a great direct 1186 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,079 for a lot of people. For me, just on the 1187 00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:45,519 personal level, it's a little bit lower than that, but 1188 00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:48,360 still overall sawid direct and a lot of great announcements 1189 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,880 that I'm excited to break down. You obviously were only 1190 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,400 joined for a bit of that stream, so I only know, 1191 00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:56,119 you know, fifteen percent of your impressions or something. But yeah, 1192 00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:58,320 now that you've watched the rest of it and been 1193 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,280 thinking about it for fete, is how you feeling about 1194 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,000 this Nintendo Direct we got last week? 1195 00:50:03,119 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, I think it's fine. I don't think there's 1196 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,280 a lot in here that that really grabbed me. Grabbed me, 1197 00:50:10,679 --> 00:50:14,199 that's a weird word. You grappled me. It wrapped me. 1198 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,320 Did all the above, Like, there was a lot of 1199 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,400 interesting things in here, but there wasn't a whole lot 1200 00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:24,880 that was really swaying me to to the point of like, okay, 1201 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,199 now it's my switch to time, you know, like I'm 1202 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,639 gonna be jumping on on it now or just getting 1203 00:50:29,639 --> 00:50:31,760 super excited for some things. I think there was some 1204 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,599 stuff in here that did look really fantastic. The thing 1205 00:50:35,599 --> 00:50:38,079 at the end actually was getting me pretty excited, and 1206 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,760 uh yeah, no, I was pretty pumped for that. And yeah, 1207 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,079 but overall, although there was a lot of good, good 1208 00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:49,199 looking stuff in here. It didn't have a lot of yeah, 1209 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,440 just just stuff that was that was selling it for me. 1210 00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess you're also not a switch to 1211 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,320 owner yet, so obviously a lot of these things, well 1212 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,760 you can still get hyped for them, are interested. Obviously, 1213 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,719 there's just gonna be a little bit less buying naturally 1214 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,039 because you're not on the platform, so that that definitely 1215 00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:08,159 comes into it too. Let's start with we'll go through 1216 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,039 order on this one, through it in order on this 1217 00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:13,079 one Mario fortieth anniversar or the few things here. The 1218 00:51:13,159 --> 00:51:15,760 first thing to kicked it off with was they said 1219 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,440 that the main thing to celebrate the Mario fortith anniversary 1220 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,920 is the Mario movie, which you know, as a I 1221 00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:23,800 like the movie, but as a gamer first, I was 1222 00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:27,840 maybe hoping for something else as like the main course 1223 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,639 of this Mario fortieth. But yeah, they showed off that 1224 00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:34,119 the Super Mario Galaxy movie. That's the official title, so 1225 00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:35,920 obviously that it gives us a lot of room to 1226 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,480 speculate on what this sequel would look like. There was 1227 00:51:38,519 --> 00:51:40,760 a trailer, but I guess it was more of a teaser. 1228 00:51:41,159 --> 00:51:43,639 It didn't really show a whole lot and then along 1229 00:51:43,639 --> 00:51:45,760 with that, they kind of just did the weirdest thing 1230 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,440 in my opinion, where they just like reconfirmed the cast 1231 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,679 from the first movie, where instead normally this would be 1232 00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:53,519 a point where you'd be like, here are some of 1233 00:51:53,519 --> 00:51:55,960 the new actors appearing in this sequel movie, but instead 1234 00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,480 it was just like Chris Pratz back on his hit 1235 00:51:58,519 --> 00:52:01,920 It Always back, Jack Blo Is back, Like just a 1236 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,719 weird call in my opinion, Like, I don't think anyone 1237 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,880 expected that any of these people would leave, but it's 1238 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,599 just not a very exciting thing to be like, oh, yeah, 1239 00:52:08,639 --> 00:52:10,320 these people are coming back for the sequel to this, 1240 00:52:11,039 --> 00:52:12,719 like a direct sequel order this thing. So that was 1241 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,400 a bit unsurprising. And then Galaxy it had been leaked 1242 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,440 a little bit, but only a few days before. But yeah, 1243 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,199 how are you feeling about this that they're going all 1244 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,760 the way up to space in the sequel here? Obviously 1245 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,679 Rosalina or not Roseleana, but Peach, I think kind of 1246 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,719 hints at it in the first movie. But now that 1247 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:29,880 we have it confirmed, how do you how are you 1248 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,079 feeling about that being the setting of the sequel here? 1249 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really excited for it. I had a lot 1250 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,159 of fun playing Super Mario Galaxy, specifically with Shay, Like 1251 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,519 I didn't play the game beforehand, but once we started dating, 1252 00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:45,880 she had it on the Wii and they had the 1253 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,639 little co op modes, so we were kind of playing 1254 00:52:47,679 --> 00:52:49,679 together and it was just a fun time there. And 1255 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,960 it's just just a cool aesthetic, cool cool world. I 1256 00:52:53,079 --> 00:52:56,559 like the little Luna. That's what they're called, right, the 1257 00:52:56,559 --> 00:52:57,639 little lumah. 1258 00:52:58,079 --> 00:53:00,639 Speaker 1: Luma or Luma. It's Luma with an ani Luma. 1259 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,559 Speaker 2: Okay, those are cute little creatures. And yeah, no, I'm 1260 00:53:04,679 --> 00:53:07,480 I'm I'm excited. I I really enjoyed the Mario movie. 1261 00:53:07,519 --> 00:53:10,159 I think it's a fun time, so I'm expecting a 1262 00:53:10,159 --> 00:53:12,800 little bit more of the same and just, uh yeah, 1263 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,239 it's cool. It's kind of where I thought we were 1264 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,119 going anyways, just because of what was kind of hinted 1265 00:53:19,159 --> 00:53:21,960 at or for what I thought was hinted at from 1266 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,320 the first movie. So not too surprised, but it's exciting 1267 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,199 to see and just a good reminder of like we're 1268 00:53:27,199 --> 00:53:28,159 getting pretty close to it. 1269 00:53:28,599 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah, Like I imagine they planned these things 1270 00:53:31,039 --> 00:53:33,840 out years in advance, and I'm guessing that line that 1271 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,079 Peach had in the first one was directly referencing what 1272 00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:37,360 they were gonna do with the sequel. But I wonder 1273 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,760 if that was the case. I wonder if when they 1274 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,480 released that movie, obviously not knowing how huge would be. 1275 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,079 Obviously if it bombed, maybe we wouldn't have gone a sequel. 1276 00:53:44,079 --> 00:53:46,639 I don't know, but it was a huge, billion dollar movie, 1277 00:53:47,039 --> 00:53:48,559 and so I wonder if in that moment they already 1278 00:53:48,599 --> 00:53:51,159 knew Galaxy was the sequel, or if they decided to 1279 00:53:51,159 --> 00:53:53,960 go that way after because interesting to me, Like I 1280 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,239 feel like, with Yoshi being like the post credit tease 1281 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,679 of that first time, I thought, maybe go like Yoshi's Island, 1282 00:53:59,679 --> 00:54:02,639 may go Super Mario World. That kind of introduced Yoshi 1283 00:54:02,639 --> 00:54:05,559 as well, right, But no, but we're we're going all 1284 00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:07,760 the way up to space, so that should be fun. 1285 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,199 I'm curious to see if there's other what other people 1286 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,039 are up there in space, because I feel like Galaxy 1287 00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:14,480 doesn't introduce a whole lot of new characters. But obviously 1288 00:54:14,519 --> 00:54:16,519 we know Jack Black is back, so like, I guess 1289 00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:18,320 he's just the villain again, and maybe there's a couple 1290 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,159 like smaller side villain kind of things. But yeah, I'm 1291 00:54:21,159 --> 00:54:22,719 curious to see what other freaks we get in the 1292 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:26,239 mix there, who makes it, who doesn't? And yeah, I 1293 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,159 guess who we get for the new cast that'll be 1294 00:54:28,159 --> 00:54:30,400 fun as well, But yeah, excited for that. I'm just 1295 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,559 not a ton to two on here. And then along 1296 00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:36,559 with that, they are officially bringing back Mario Galaxy one, 1297 00:54:36,599 --> 00:54:38,159 and then for the first time on the Switch and 1298 00:54:38,199 --> 00:54:41,119 Switch to bringing in Mario Galaxy two. So obviously for 1299 00:54:41,159 --> 00:54:44,119 the thirty fifth anniversary they did Super Mario three D 1300 00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:47,760 All Stars, which was Mario sixty four, Mario Sunshine and Galaxy, 1301 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:49,960 but that was only a limited time thing. You can't 1302 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,840 buy that anymore unless you find a physical copy you 1303 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,400 had a used game store, game stop or something like that. 1304 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,440 But yeah, they're bringing back Galaxy one in two as 1305 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:03,119 a combo pack, and then also Galaxy one and two 1306 00:55:03,159 --> 00:55:05,119 you can just buy like individually as well. So obviously 1307 00:55:05,119 --> 00:55:06,599 for the people like me who bought All Stars, that 1308 00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:09,639 could just buy Galaxy two if we wanted to. And yeah, 1309 00:55:09,679 --> 00:55:11,280 I don't think there's really any changes to them. I 1310 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,440 think they said most controls are going to be part 1311 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,199 of it. I also I don't remember if those games 1312 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,719 are wide screen originally, so like adding wide screen support, 1313 00:55:18,639 --> 00:55:21,119 not like an HD remaster or anything. It's pretty much 1314 00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:24,760 the support of them. Yeah, so those those are coming out, that's, 1315 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,599 you know, good to have those on the platform. It 1316 00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:28,159 makes a lot of sense. I guess one thing I 1317 00:55:28,159 --> 00:55:29,960 should have mentioned at the top of this, because I 1318 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,159 don't want to just do this all the time, but 1319 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,079 one of my big bummers with this direct and like 1320 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,000 just in the direct in the moment, but then more 1321 00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:38,360 so seeing all the news that came out afterwards, is 1322 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,039 like there's a lot of just extremely egregious pricing for 1323 00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:44,039 a lot of stuff in here that really rubs me 1324 00:55:44,079 --> 00:55:46,920 the wrong way. And so rather than bringing that up constantly, 1325 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,199 I'm just gonna say here at the top, like really 1326 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,679 bothered by a lot of that stuff. But I don't 1327 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,920 want this podcast to just me be complaining about prices 1328 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,440 the whole time, because that's not super interesting. But that 1329 00:55:55,559 --> 00:55:56,840 was kind of part of this too, is that that 1330 00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,000 three D All Stars collection, you know, in US dollars 1331 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,360 sixty sixty dollars for three games. Now this is like 1332 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,480 sixty dollars for two games, so it's a little bit less, 1333 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,599 and when they've already released before and then I don't 1334 00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:11,400 know what it would convert to if you just got 1335 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,280 the individual versions. But kind of interesting choice there. I 1336 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,440 wonder if they considered like releasing three D all Stars again, 1337 00:56:17,519 --> 00:56:20,400 but like bundling in Galaxy two. But they're probably gonna 1338 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,960 make more money this way, so it makes sense to 1339 00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:23,960 go about it in this way. But it's cool that 1340 00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:27,440 you'll now with these four games coming, have every three 1341 00:56:27,519 --> 00:56:30,360 D Mario game on the Switch, like the entire catalog 1342 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,159 of three D Mario games will just be available in 1343 00:56:32,199 --> 00:56:33,840 one platform, which is pretty cool. 1344 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:35,800 Speaker 3: There's another thing. 1345 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the other thing was gonna add since the 1346 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,519 three D all Stars happened, Mars sixty four and Sunshine 1347 00:56:40,559 --> 00:56:43,079 are just like on well, I guess Sunshine. I don't 1348 00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:44,920 think it's on the GameCube Service yet, but I think 1349 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,199 it's coming at some point. I forget if they confirm that. 1350 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,559 But sixty four is obviously playable there as well. So 1351 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,440 other ways to play these games than just that three 1352 00:56:52,519 --> 00:56:55,639 D All Stars collection. Another thing they're doing is Mario 1353 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,880 Wonder Switch two Edition, which has some new minigames and 1354 00:57:00,119 --> 00:57:03,639 some new levels. It appears some other random odds and 1355 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,719 ends one of the minigames or a couple of mini games. 1356 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,760 Looks kind of like Smash Bros. Type combat that you're doing. 1357 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,760 So that's that's cool, that's fun. I like that as 1358 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,360 a smash player, I will not be picking this up. 1359 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,239 I you know, had a decent enough time with Wonder, 1360 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,679 but I don't need to play more of it. So 1361 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,679 that's the thing. What did you think about Mario Tennis? 1362 00:57:21,719 --> 00:57:24,639 Fevers is coming out February twelfth, so the first sports 1363 00:57:24,639 --> 00:57:27,159 game for the switch to. Yeah, how'd you feel about 1364 00:57:27,159 --> 00:57:28,360 this one? Yeah? 1365 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,199 Speaker 2: I mean it looked really fun. It looks like there's 1366 00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:34,559 a lot of variety with the different rackets and stuff 1367 00:57:34,599 --> 00:57:37,000 that you can get along with the different characters. I 1368 00:57:37,159 --> 00:57:39,719 imagine it's like Mario. I can't remember if they answered it, 1369 00:57:39,719 --> 00:57:41,239 but I mentioned, like Mario Curry, we can kind of 1370 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,559 choose your character and then your kart. Hey like like, 1371 00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:46,559 like the rackets seem very different. It's not like I'm 1372 00:57:46,599 --> 00:57:48,639 choosing Boo and I'm only getting that racket. 1373 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 1: I think you can. I think you can pick like individually, 1374 00:57:52,639 --> 00:57:54,440 so you can pick Peach and then do all the 1375 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,039 different rackets with her. It seemed but it seems like 1376 00:57:56,039 --> 00:57:58,159 everyone maybe has one themed after them, But I don't 1377 00:57:58,159 --> 00:57:59,360 know if they have because they mentioned those like the 1378 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,519 biggest ross or in the series history and maybe even 1379 00:58:02,559 --> 00:58:05,199 in the Mario sports game history with thirty eight characters. 1380 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,440 So I don't know if they would have thirty eight 1381 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,039 different rackets because that seems like a lot of different effects. 1382 00:58:09,559 --> 00:58:10,039 So I don't know. 1383 00:58:10,079 --> 00:58:11,719 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a quite a one to one. 1384 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, but it looks really fun. I 1385 00:58:15,679 --> 00:58:17,440 had a lot of fun with that other Mario Tennis 1386 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,880 that we played multiple times and in the gauntlets. Well, 1387 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,760 there's been a couple, hasn't there Because there was one 1388 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,360 on the Switch. 1389 00:58:24,119 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 3: Release there was, Yeah, mar Tennis aces was like an 1390 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,480 early Switch one, right, yeah, and then the game Cube 1391 00:58:30,639 --> 00:58:31,360 is that the other one. 1392 00:58:33,039 --> 00:58:35,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I think every platform has had a Mario 1393 00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:37,639 to Oh wow, it's out of the sports games, it's 1394 00:58:37,639 --> 00:58:40,719 probably the most common that in golf, I think has 1395 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,440 been like even on the handhelds. I think there's been 1396 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,719 a Mario Tennis on every everything since in sixty four, 1397 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:47,840 I believe. And I think there's even a tennis game 1398 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,840 on like Snees or something. I don't think it was 1399 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:50,880 called Mario Tennis, but. 1400 00:58:51,039 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 3: Crazy like that. 1401 00:58:52,079 --> 00:58:54,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I mean it looks it looks really fun. 1402 00:58:54,159 --> 00:58:57,400 I think it'd be fun to play with friends. Yeah, 1403 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,920 it could be a fun party game. So I am interested. 1404 00:59:01,679 --> 00:59:04,039 I'll keep an eye on this one. Not commiting yet. 1405 00:59:04,559 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little ah, what's the word. 1406 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 1: I guess disappointed is the basically easy word to use 1407 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,079 a little disappoint with this for the one reason that 1408 00:59:14,199 --> 00:59:17,599 like it's almost like you know, with GTA, obviously with 1409 00:59:17,719 --> 00:59:21,000 GT six coming out, we're going back to Miami. We're 1410 00:59:21,039 --> 00:59:24,360 going back to Florida, and it's like it's like we've 1411 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,400 been there before. You know, we did the Vice City 1412 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,719 and then we got like our you know, we got 1413 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,000 our LA with San Andreas. Then we went to New 1414 00:59:32,079 --> 00:59:34,079 York and then we kind of went back to LA, 1415 00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:36,119 and it's like now we're back to Miami, and then 1416 00:59:36,159 --> 00:59:37,559 I feel like by the next one, it's like, oh, 1417 00:59:37,559 --> 00:59:39,239 we haven't done New York in twenty years, so we're 1418 00:59:39,239 --> 00:59:41,320 gonna go back to New York. And then by that time, 1419 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,000 it's like, oh, we haven't done LA in twenty years, 1420 00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:44,440 Let's go back to LA. And it just feels like 1421 00:59:44,519 --> 00:59:47,360 the cycle of like just kind of getting the same locations, 1422 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:49,800 and I'm kind of worried. That's what's happening here where 1423 00:59:50,159 --> 00:59:52,400 with the switch one obviously the first sports game there 1424 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,719 being Mario Tennis. I feel like with us already kind 1425 00:59:54,719 --> 00:59:57,639 of repeating that cycle now we're kind of back on tennis, 1426 00:59:58,039 --> 00:59:59,440 is like the next one we're gonna get, we're gonna 1427 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,760 be an art Mario golf, and then maybe another Strikers. 1428 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 3: You know, obviously we're big Strikers. 1429 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Fans here, but like I just I kind of was 1430 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,280 hoping that they would do something different, whether that's like 1431 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,880 bring Sluggers back, which hasn't been out there for a while, 1432 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,400 do a Mario football game like like American football, do 1433 01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:16,360 a Mario hockey game like obviously they've done through Sports 1434 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,079 Mix and all these other games like they've had little 1435 01:00:19,119 --> 01:00:21,880 minigame versions of or like they had Basketball in the DS. 1436 01:00:22,119 --> 01:00:24,519 Like I was kind of hoping for something different, something fresh, 1437 01:00:24,559 --> 01:00:27,039 and then that hasn't been done a bunch. But obviously tennis. 1438 01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:29,039 The reason they keep doing is probably because it sells 1439 01:00:29,079 --> 01:00:30,840 the best. Maybe out of all the sports games that 1440 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,000 in golf probably sell the best, so it makes sense 1441 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,960 why they're doing it. But I'm just kind of unfortunately 1442 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,719 looking at the cycle and being like, Okay, well it's 1443 01:00:37,719 --> 01:00:39,480 probably just gonna be golf next, I guess on the 1444 01:00:39,519 --> 01:00:41,400 switch too, and then we're just never getting anything new 1445 01:00:41,719 --> 01:00:44,320 and fresh, which is we're just too bad in my opinion. 1446 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 3: But I think as for what this game actually is, 1447 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:46,559 it looks great. 1448 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: I love having a big roster of Mario characters, because 1449 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,079 this is one kind of like Mariocar World. We have 1450 01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:52,559 a lot of the freaks in there, which I love, 1451 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:57,000 you know, I love my freaks. There's there's like some 1452 01:00:57,039 --> 01:00:58,639 of the rackets are crazy, like one of the ones 1453 01:00:58,679 --> 01:01:00,639 I really liked it was like a negative mode for 1454 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,159 Boo where you have just like a black like kind 1455 01:01:03,159 --> 01:01:05,559 of reverse version of Boo in there, which looked really cool. 1456 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,039 Change Shamp is one of the playable characters, which I 1457 01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:10,280 don't think it has been like ever in a sports 1458 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,280 game maybe, and like his little chain's just kind of 1459 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,840 falling behind him, looks super cute. And then there's even 1460 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,519 like a full or what appears to be like a 1461 01:01:16,519 --> 01:01:19,400 full adventure mode here where a lot of characters are 1462 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,519 transformed back into babies and then they have to like 1463 01:01:21,639 --> 01:01:24,119 work their way up again. I guess, and I feel 1464 01:01:24,159 --> 01:01:26,679 like and I could be wrong here, Mario historians let 1465 01:01:26,679 --> 01:01:29,800 me know, this might be the first canonical inclusion of 1466 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,920 Baby the Wallawigi, who we saw in that cut scene, 1467 01:01:33,239 --> 01:01:35,079 because Baby Warrio has been around before. I think he 1468 01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:37,159 was in like that Doctor Mario Mobile game, but I 1469 01:01:37,159 --> 01:01:39,360 don't think we've ever got a baby Wallawigi before, so 1470 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,840 it's of course a little bit cursed. But hell yeah, 1471 01:01:42,159 --> 01:01:44,239 chow its to baby Wallowigi get in his first appearance. 1472 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,920 I wonder if that means he'll come to uh Marioco 1473 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,719 World him and Warrior Baby. A couple baby versions there, 1474 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:51,559 So that's pretty cool. 1475 01:01:52,159 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 3: I really know my quick Google search. 1476 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,039 Speaker 1: There you go, first time ever in Mario history baby 1477 01:01:57,079 --> 01:02:01,800 wall Owigi. So that's pretty hype as a Wallian. Moving 1478 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,639 along to some other Mario news, so a bunch of 1479 01:02:05,719 --> 01:02:09,079 physical things. The Talking Flower from Wonder they're doing as 1480 01:02:09,159 --> 01:02:11,440 like a physical thing you and buy, which I don't 1481 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,320 know why would ever want that in their home. One 1482 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,119 thing that's cooler than that, though, is that they're doing 1483 01:02:16,199 --> 01:02:19,360 like a Rosalina Kid's book like from Galaxy, like the 1484 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,199 story book that kind of tells a lot of the 1485 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,559 narrative in those games. So that's really cute. One of 1486 01:02:24,559 --> 01:02:26,039 the things I thought was crazy to include in this 1487 01:02:26,119 --> 01:02:28,880 direct is like I guess there's like a Kyoto Marathon 1488 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,440 happening this year, and there's getting there's like Mario bibbs 1489 01:02:32,039 --> 01:02:34,800 for the razors and that, which is all in Japan. 1490 01:02:35,079 --> 01:02:37,239 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, it disrupted my. 1491 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 2: Purchasing of my certain tickets I had because of this 1492 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:41,360 damn Kyoto fest. 1493 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:42,719 Speaker 3: That's that's too bad. 1494 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot of because I 1495 01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:47,440 think for a lot of the directs they do localized ones. Well, 1496 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,400 they'll have like here's the japan director. Maybe it has 1497 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,039 a couple different announcements, but usually it's the same with 1498 01:02:52,119 --> 01:02:55,440 a couple exceptions. But that seems like you can save 1499 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,079 that for the Japanese direct, Like, I don't know if 1500 01:02:57,079 --> 01:02:59,360 anyone in North America needs to know about these racing bibs. 1501 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,360 Another one and they showed off was like the Mario 1502 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,880 Museum or the Antenno Museum, whatever it is, has like 1503 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,840 a limited edition tickets. So are you going to get 1504 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,000 one of these limited edition of tickets? Are you going 1505 01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:11,760 to this specific place? Because I think it's gonna happen 1506 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,599 while you're there, right, I probably won't. Are you going 1507 01:03:14,679 --> 01:03:16,480 to partake in this race? Are you going to go 1508 01:03:16,519 --> 01:03:17,199 to this marathon. 1509 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:17,719 Speaker 3: I cannot. 1510 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,239 Speaker 2: I cannot. My life depended on it. I could not 1511 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:21,199 compete in this race. 1512 01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 1: So there you go a bunch of weird physical odds 1513 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,320 and ends. And then the other new announcement for Mario game, 1514 01:03:30,639 --> 01:03:33,840 Mario Ish is a Yoshi and the Mysterious book coming 1515 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,960 out spring of next year, is what they've said here. 1516 01:03:37,079 --> 01:03:39,719 This is a looks like a sequel to Yoshi's Story, 1517 01:03:40,039 --> 01:03:42,159 which was the n sixty four game, because obviously we've 1518 01:03:42,159 --> 01:03:44,880 had Yoshi's wullly world, Yoshi's crafted world, and this is 1519 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,800 kind of in that ballpark, but it seems more of 1520 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,280 that storybook style which maybe those games had. I haven't 1521 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,920 played them. This game looked really cute. I love the 1522 01:03:52,039 --> 01:03:55,159 kind of intentionally lower frame rate gives it like a 1523 01:03:55,159 --> 01:03:57,559 bit of a stop motion y kind of vibe, like 1524 01:03:57,639 --> 01:04:00,599 cardboard cutouts, which Yoshi kind of always has. But I 1525 01:04:00,639 --> 01:04:02,280 feel like for me, you know, Nintendo obviously is like 1526 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,960 a family friendly console. Mario is something that can be 1527 01:04:05,039 --> 01:04:07,039 enjoyed for five year olds all the way up to 1528 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,440 two hundred year old how whatever, the oldest person is 1529 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,360 one hundred and twenty seven years old or something like that. 1530 01:04:12,599 --> 01:04:15,039 Anyone in that range can enjoy Mario, and I feel 1531 01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:17,079 like for other Nintendo franchises it kind of varies, like 1532 01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:21,760 maybe Splatoons like a bit older. Maybe maybe Kirby is 1533 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,639 like younger, like you know, five to twelve or whatever. 1534 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,679 But I think Yoshi is like kind of the designated 1535 01:04:27,719 --> 01:04:31,119 like baby games, like this is your great first time 1536 01:04:31,159 --> 01:04:33,239 ever playing a video game. It seems like you play 1537 01:04:33,239 --> 01:04:37,840 this because this trailer looked like the lowest octane platformer 1538 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,639 I've ever seen in my life. It just didn't look 1539 01:04:40,679 --> 01:04:42,320 like fun at all to me, And I know there's 1540 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,559 an audience for it, but I don't think this game 1541 01:04:44,639 --> 01:04:46,519 is for me. I love Dyoshi's story as a kid 1542 01:04:46,559 --> 01:04:49,360 on the n sixty four, but this this one's not 1543 01:04:49,599 --> 01:04:51,559 for me, even though it looks really cute to just 1544 01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:54,679 gameplay wise, seems a little too basic for my liking. 1545 01:04:54,719 --> 01:04:58,679 I think I need a little bit more dopamine receptors 1546 01:04:58,679 --> 01:05:00,159 being hit when I'm playing a video game, and this 1547 01:05:00,199 --> 01:05:01,760 doesn't not seem like it's doing that for me. 1548 01:05:02,519 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I completely agree. It didn't really do much 1549 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:06,639 to move the needle. 1550 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,559 Speaker 1: I don't love the title Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, 1551 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:15,360 like just call it Yoshi's Story. 1552 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:20,559 Speaker 3: Yoshi's Story any page. Yeah, I don't like this this title. 1553 01:05:21,679 --> 01:05:24,639 Speaker 1: That was kind of the end of the Mario specific stuff, 1554 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,599 so we can kick it along. The first game after 1555 01:05:28,599 --> 01:05:31,119 that was Storm Lancers, which is kind of like a 1556 01:05:31,159 --> 01:05:34,400 cell shaded art style two D roguelike game. The thing 1557 01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,239 that stowed to me about this and comparing each other 1558 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,519 roguelikes is the co op factor of it, and that's 1559 01:05:39,519 --> 01:05:42,239 an out now, out now today kind of game for them. 1560 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,079 You mentioned that you like this one on the stream, Kirkland, 1561 01:05:46,119 --> 01:05:49,000 any any other thoughts on Storm Lancers. 1562 01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:53,559 Speaker 2: I mean the co op that's always gonna, you know, 1563 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,320 be interesting to meet, a little couch co op experience. 1564 01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,480 And just like the colors looked so cool and very 1565 01:05:59,559 --> 01:06:03,159 vibrant to it just looked like a fun time. So 1566 01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:05,880 it kind of checked a bunch of boxes on a 1567 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,800 title or franchise I didn't really have any interest in. 1568 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,639 And I feel like it's always a good signing because 1569 01:06:11,639 --> 01:06:14,840 I'm usually pretty selective of the things I am jumping on, 1570 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:19,199 but whenever something can really just get my interest level, 1571 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,960 I'm gonna be intrigue because I feel like it's a 1572 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,000 good sign. Like Cult the Lamb. That was a big 1573 01:06:24,039 --> 01:06:25,679 one for me, where like the first time I saw it, 1574 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,679 I'm like, Okay, what is this game? I gotta get 1575 01:06:27,679 --> 01:06:29,719 in there, And then here I am all these years later. 1576 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,519 I absolutely love that game. So I could definitely see 1577 01:06:32,559 --> 01:06:33,880 this one crossing. 1578 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 3: Was this just a regular switch game probably. 1579 01:06:37,559 --> 01:06:40,199 Speaker 2: I assume, yeah, yeah, I didn't see anything about switch 1580 01:06:40,239 --> 01:06:42,280 to only, so I think it's me, I don't know, 1581 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,159 a little bit more excited. 1582 01:06:43,199 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, cool throwing the wish list. Next up was 1583 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,880 a absolutely insane one two punch of Dinkum into pop 1584 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:55,840 a Cum Poppycum, which are two games with absolutely wild titles. 1585 01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,440 Dinkham is like pretty much Australian animal. Uh, it is 1586 01:07:01,519 --> 01:07:03,840 kind of the vibe there. This actually a demo and 1587 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:05,440 I downloaded that and played a little bit of it, 1588 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,320 which I gotta say, the start of this game is 1589 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,599 absolutely wild. You don't start in this beautiful, id like island. 1590 01:07:10,639 --> 01:07:14,880 You start in like a depressing, cold, snowy world. Everyone's 1591 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,920 depressed and it's like in this world everyone has had 1592 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,320 to go south and this this is me paraphrasing now, 1593 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,480 it's like this world sucks and no one has the 1594 01:07:23,519 --> 01:07:26,719 motivation to better their life. And everyone's just super sad 1595 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,679 doing like the the you know, Michael Sarah, like walking 1596 01:07:29,719 --> 01:07:31,760 with his head down kind of thing. And then it's like, 1597 01:07:32,239 --> 01:07:35,079 but you are different, and there's this one lady who 1598 01:07:35,159 --> 01:07:37,639 wants to go to the island of Dincom and needs 1599 01:07:37,639 --> 01:07:40,440 a research assistant. You apply for the job, and that's 1600 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,360 like then and then you get sent off to the island. 1601 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,280 So it's a pretty quick sequence, but like, fuck, this 1602 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:45,480 is a crazy volume. 1603 01:07:45,559 --> 01:07:46,639 Speaker 3: I was expecting. 1604 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 2: It's like the opening to fire Watch, where it's just like, 1605 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,000 why am I like crying all of a sudden, right. 1606 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. 1607 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 3: It was absolutely insane. 1608 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,519 Speaker 1: And then like as soon as I got dropped on 1609 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,000 the island area, I was like on a smaller, tiny 1610 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,440 little island off the bigger island, and I immediately it's like, oh, 1611 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,159 put this tent down somewhere, so I'll go put on 1612 01:08:03,199 --> 01:08:03,719 the main lengths. 1613 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,159 Speaker 3: This tiny island is not gonna be good enough. 1614 01:08:05,239 --> 01:08:08,079 Speaker 1: Walk into the water. A huge shark immediately starts attacking me, 1615 01:08:08,119 --> 01:08:10,360 Like this game is crazy, Like this is not what 1616 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,159 I expected at all, So I think I didn't die. 1617 01:08:13,239 --> 01:08:14,840 It's not that punishing in a game. I just got 1618 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,159 out of the water and after it nibbled me a 1619 01:08:17,199 --> 01:08:18,560 few times and then wait for it to leave and 1620 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,319 then got back on the mainland there. So yeah, pretty crazy, 1621 01:08:21,399 --> 01:08:24,359 But honestly it looks looks like a totally solid kind 1622 01:08:24,359 --> 01:08:27,960 of life sim animal crossing light game, Starry Valley type thing. 1623 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:29,600 I think there's probably a co op in there, so 1624 01:08:30,359 --> 01:08:32,119 check it out. There's a demo of if you want 1625 01:08:32,119 --> 01:08:34,760 to visit some of that. And then yeah, popcom was 1626 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,039 like kind of a three D crazy game. I had 1627 01:08:37,039 --> 01:08:38,640 all sorts of weird mini games in there, but almost 1628 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,760 look like a three D Match three at first, and 1629 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,399 then there's like these splatoony type looking characters going through 1630 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,840 all sorts of different puzzles. Seems very co op focused. 1631 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,079 That's coming out this winter. I think that game actually 1632 01:08:49,079 --> 01:08:51,199 looks really cool. If I had the right person to 1633 01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:53,359 play co op with, I might check that one out. 1634 01:08:54,199 --> 01:08:56,840 So yeah, any any thoughts on those two games? 1635 01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:02,199 Speaker 2: Uh, really interesting titles by not much more than that. 1636 01:09:02,239 --> 01:09:03,560 Speaker 3: For me personally, the co op. 1637 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: Of popacumb wasn't speaking to you as a maybe you 1638 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:06,680 and Shay game. 1639 01:09:09,199 --> 01:09:10,520 Speaker 3: Not off the cuff. 1640 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know, maybe I'd be surprised. 1641 01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:15,680 I'll shore the trailer and then and see which she feels. 1642 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,640 But yeah, I might have to be convinced to get 1643 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:19,039 that one. 1644 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:20,560 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. 1645 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,640 Speaker 1: Next up is a game that we had got an 1646 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,079 announcement of previously, but just kind of confirming I guess, well, 1647 01:09:26,079 --> 01:09:28,239 it doesn't have a release date here, but Tom Dauci 1648 01:09:28,359 --> 01:09:30,399 Life Living the Dreams coming out Spring twenty twenty six. 1649 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,399 This is one of the switch one games. This and 1650 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,159 Rhythm Heaven are a couple more like first party Nintendo 1651 01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,039 Switch one games that we know are happening. Uh so 1652 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,199 we kind of knew this was coming at some point. 1653 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:41,279 Speaker 3: Crazy game. 1654 01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:43,520 Speaker 1: I've not played the originally, think goes the three DS game. Originally, 1655 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,199 it's pretty much like you're just making mees. You're dropping 1656 01:09:46,279 --> 01:09:49,760 this crazy world and like just insane things happen and 1657 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,760 weird things happen, and it seems like very funny. It 1658 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,479 seems like a lot of people that create their friends 1659 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,560 or create like celebrities with the me you know, through 1660 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,039 the mees and then just watch all these antics happen. 1661 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,279 Seems like a very funny game, seems like it has 1662 01:10:01,279 --> 01:10:02,920 a good sense of humor to it. I don't think 1663 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,880 I'll be picking it up personally, but I know there's 1664 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:07,520 a lot of people that are really excited for this one. 1665 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,880 So that's coming out spring of next year. Maybe I 1666 01:10:12,399 --> 01:10:13,800 forget if we've talked about this one, But what do 1667 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,520 you think about the Mortal Kombat Legacy collection that's coming 1668 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,880 out next month, and that is a collection of a 1669 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,319 bunch of Mortal Kombat games. I don't know if you've 1670 01:10:21,319 --> 01:10:22,680 seen a trailer for that one yet. So what did 1671 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,680 you think of this scene it here? As a fan 1672 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,279 of the series, I. 1673 01:10:26,199 --> 01:10:28,239 Speaker 2: Thought it was really cool. I think it did a 1674 01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:30,960 good job. It's just kind of capturing the elements of 1675 01:10:32,039 --> 01:10:35,279 I feel like majority of people that played games have 1676 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,279 experienced a Mortal Kombat experience and like you know, at 1677 01:10:38,279 --> 01:10:40,920 some point in their lives, whatever game it might be, 1678 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,239 it's just popped up in so many eras of gaming 1679 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,840 that it just seems like a good place to kind 1680 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,640 of like bring anyone together, Like if you had only 1681 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,560 played the Saga one, or if you had only played 1682 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,479 the Super Odd PS two Mortal Kombat Apocalypse I think 1683 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,880 is what it was called. Stuff like that, like just 1684 01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,760 just to get characters from that I think is really cool. 1685 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:04,159 And U I mean, they've just established this this long 1686 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,800 run of games, so they have such a a just 1687 01:11:08,079 --> 01:11:10,680 a catalog of things to pull from, and yeah, it 1688 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:14,560 seems really cool. It It's should be unexpected. I think, 1689 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,359 like it should be one of those things where it's like, oh, wow, 1690 01:11:16,399 --> 01:11:19,000 they finally did it. But I didn't really feel that way. 1691 01:11:19,039 --> 01:11:21,159 So I was I was pleasantly surprised by this, And 1692 01:11:22,399 --> 01:11:24,640 I don't know, I think I could see myself getting it, 1693 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,680 but I'm not going to race to it, like maybe, yeah, 1694 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,560 I don't know, maybe in the future, because it's also 1695 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,159 like getting it on the switch. Would be fun to 1696 01:11:31,159 --> 01:11:32,840 be able to play it kind of anywhere, you know 1697 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,960 what I mean, Like, like it's just the accessibility of 1698 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,119 it would be fun. And yeah, I thought it was 1699 01:11:37,119 --> 01:11:37,560 really cool. 1700 01:11:38,119 --> 01:11:40,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be fun to have for one of the streams. 1701 01:11:40,079 --> 01:11:43,239 Sometimes go back and play some of these absolutely Mortal Kombats, 1702 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,960 which I'm sure would be good, yanky fun and yeah. 1703 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:47,760 Speaker 3: They're super super hard. 1704 01:11:48,039 --> 01:11:51,239 Speaker 2: I replayed Mortal Kombat too, maybe on the Sega a 1705 01:11:51,319 --> 01:11:53,960 couple of years ago. Man, it like you're talking about 1706 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:58,800 Tony Hawk pro skater. These Moral Kombat games don't fuck brutal. 1707 01:11:59,159 --> 01:12:01,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what I'm gonna someday, like the Mortal 1708 01:12:01,199 --> 01:12:03,920 Kombat stuff like one even eleven. Like these games go 1709 01:12:04,039 --> 01:12:08,000 pretty deep discount pretty often, so someday I will pick 1710 01:12:08,039 --> 01:12:09,920 this one up. And yeah, I think, as you mentioned, 1711 01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,840 like there's a couple of the weird games in there, 1712 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,680 Like I think they had a couple like third person 1713 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,319 like action games back in the day that I think 1714 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,880 suck and bombed and people didn't like them, but like 1715 01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,279 it's those are great games to put into collection like 1716 01:12:20,279 --> 01:12:22,600 this alongside the games that people actually want to play, 1717 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,760 just so someone can play it for you know, ten 1718 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,760 minutes and be like, oh, yeah, this game is super weird, 1719 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:28,680 but at least it's in there, and obviously having some 1720 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,800 of the documentary stuff in there too is really cool. 1721 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,159 Digital Eclips, I believe, is the developer of this, and 1722 01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:34,840 they've been doing a lot of these great collections, so 1723 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,039 I'm sure they're gonna crush it with this one. And yeah, 1724 01:12:37,159 --> 01:12:38,840 like I said, I'll pick it up someday. So looking 1725 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,000 forward to that one next up on Fay seven, finally 1726 01:12:42,039 --> 01:12:44,399 coming out in January linked Ben Or the Spark is 1727 01:12:44,399 --> 01:12:47,560 out now and then Haities two. So this is a 1728 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,399 big one where this game has been in early access 1729 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,279 for a year, a few months something like that. With 1730 01:12:53,399 --> 01:12:55,760 this trailer here is when they finally announced that it's 1731 01:12:56,079 --> 01:12:58,800 coming out one point zero September twenty fifth, and it 1732 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,560 is around Steam as well, same day as it's early 1733 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,119 access there. But also it's a console exclusive to Switch 1734 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,359 when it launches, which is a pretty big deal because 1735 01:13:06,359 --> 01:13:08,920 that game was huge and people love it and so 1736 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:10,800 to have and I think even Haites one is on 1737 01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:12,399 the Game Pass right now. I'm sure it was on 1738 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:13,680 PS Plus at some point. 1739 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:14,560 Speaker 3: I think it is on there. 1740 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:18,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, so pretty crazy that this game's launching like exclusive 1741 01:13:18,119 --> 01:13:20,920 onto Switch. I think Switch and Switch too, I think 1742 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,840 both of them. So that's a really good get for 1743 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,800 Nintendo to have this exclusive over there. I'm sure it's 1744 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:25,399 gonna blow up. 1745 01:13:25,359 --> 01:13:28,720 Speaker 3: And do do numbers. I'm not really a Hades fan. 1746 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,560 Speaker 1: I played it years later and just don't really vibe 1747 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,119 with the gameplay or the art and all that, but coldly, hell, 1748 01:13:34,199 --> 01:13:38,479 this fucking cut scene was godlike. Like, this trailer was amazing, 1749 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,079 one of the best trailers I've seen in a while, 1750 01:13:40,119 --> 01:13:42,880 Like just the not necessarily the gameplay aspect of it, 1751 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,760 but just like the crazy animations and combat that was happening, 1752 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,880 and this character just looks like the coolest character ever. 1753 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,159 So they did a good job of like almost selling 1754 01:13:50,199 --> 01:13:52,600 me on it. You know, I'd maybe check it out 1755 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,199 some day if it does it a game pass or something. 1756 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,119 But man, I was just thinking about this, like Hades 1757 01:13:56,159 --> 01:13:58,680 two Silk Song just coming out mean to the hollower, 1758 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,680 you know. The next follow up is from the shovel 1759 01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,560 Night team, like pretty crazy fall for like indie games 1760 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:07,159 like those are three monster indie game. Well, mina, we'll 1761 01:14:07,159 --> 01:14:08,479 have to see if it ends up being a monster 1762 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,720 like shovel Night was. But between those three, man, that's 1763 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,119 like a huge indie game, like Triple A indie game, 1764 01:14:14,159 --> 01:14:17,039 the Triple I indie game Fall. So pretty cool that 1765 01:14:17,039 --> 01:14:18,359 Hades is coming out pretty soon here. 1766 01:14:19,159 --> 01:14:22,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I've yet to play the Haites franchise 1767 01:14:23,039 --> 01:14:24,800 any of the games, which would just be the one 1768 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,039 out right now game of the year, Right, did one 1769 01:14:28,039 --> 01:14:28,880 game of the year that year? 1770 01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,560 Speaker 3: Did it somewhere somewhere? Not a Game Wars, but somewhere? 1771 01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1772 01:14:32,039 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 2: Okay, anyways, uh yeah, no, I I thought this trailer 1773 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,880 looked so good as it was going along, because I 1774 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:41,319 I don't think they said it at the beginning of 1775 01:14:41,359 --> 01:14:43,680 the trailer, but I'm like, man, this is totally Hades 1776 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,359 vibes like that, like whatever this is, this looks so interesting, 1777 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,359 and then and then just seeing the characters look really 1778 01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,000 cool and then' like okay, no it is it is 1779 01:14:50,039 --> 01:14:52,000 Hades two because back in my mind, I just thought 1780 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,760 Haites two had already come out because it's been an 1781 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,239 early access for so long. But yeah, it definitely makes 1782 01:14:58,279 --> 01:15:00,199 me at least want to try the first. And I 1783 01:15:00,239 --> 01:15:01,720 do want to see if I have it on the 1784 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,880 catalog because I remember it came across there at some point, 1785 01:15:04,079 --> 01:15:08,000 whether it was just on the the like the extras 1786 01:15:08,039 --> 01:15:10,880 for a limited time because they do cycle games in 1787 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,479 and out of that, or if it was a monthly. 1788 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,279 I I just remember adding it to my library at 1789 01:15:15,279 --> 01:15:17,199 some point in time, and definitely makes me want to 1790 01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:19,359 to try that one out at least before you know, 1791 01:15:19,399 --> 01:15:21,840 I go a full full swing on Heats two. 1792 01:15:22,039 --> 01:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Next up Kirby air Riders. Not much here 1793 01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,960 in the Wave gameplay, but they announce him in AMBO. 1794 01:15:28,079 --> 01:15:30,239 They also announced that another direct is coming for this game, 1795 01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:31,960 which is crazy because that first direct for it was 1796 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,720 forty five minutes long. But you know, the reason more buttons, 1797 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,920 more buttons showcase, yes, tell us more buttons somehow, But 1798 01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:39,399 I mean the reason this is happening is because like 1799 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:41,640 Sakarai makes these and like edits them himself, right, Like, 1800 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,439 it's not like Nintendo is paying someone to do like 1801 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,079 they obviously pay sacked They might not even pay Sackery 1802 01:15:47,159 --> 01:15:47,720 to make that direct. 1803 01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,479 Speaker 3: He might just do it because he wants to market 1804 01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:50,479 his game that he's making. 1805 01:15:51,319 --> 01:15:53,399 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I will watch every second of 1806 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,279 it and love how crazy it is and want to 1807 01:15:55,319 --> 01:15:56,560 play the game, but I don't know if I'll be 1808 01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,119 picking it up. And then the other little note there 1809 01:15:59,199 --> 01:16:01,840 is that they announced that the Nintendo app, which the 1810 01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:05,159 Nintendo Today app, they launched this sometime this year, which 1811 01:16:05,199 --> 01:16:06,600 every day if you go on this app, there's a 1812 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,239 new announcement of some sort. Not necessarily announcements. Sometimes it's 1813 01:16:09,279 --> 01:16:12,600 just like here's a three D render of the switch 1814 01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,279 to JOYCN, like it's weird stuff. But sometimes they do 1815 01:16:15,359 --> 01:16:18,039 have announcements, like they announced a new Splatoon game on 1816 01:16:18,079 --> 01:16:19,239 there that was not shown off in. 1817 01:16:19,159 --> 01:16:20,279 Speaker 3: This direct weirdly enough. 1818 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's some crazy stuff, but one of the things 1819 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,720 they announces that like there's gonna be a Kirby theme 1820 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,319 getting added to it, and then they're gonna do like daily. 1821 01:16:27,079 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 3: Updates for Kirby air Riders. 1822 01:16:29,119 --> 01:16:30,640 Speaker 1: Which the reason I wanted to bring this up is 1823 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,840 because back in the day, I don't know if you 1824 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,000 know this, Kirkland, but there was a website called the 1825 01:16:35,039 --> 01:16:38,279 smash Bro's Dojo. When Brawl was announced, there was a 1826 01:16:38,279 --> 01:16:40,560 smash Bro's Dojo which like just had like a page 1827 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,279 for characters, page for items, paid for, stages, paid for mechanics, 1828 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,319 and every single day there would be one new piece 1829 01:16:47,359 --> 01:16:49,960 of information on this website. And as a kid in 1830 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,279 middle school who was a diehard Smash fan, I would 1831 01:16:52,319 --> 01:16:54,479 go on there every single morning before school and see 1832 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,239 what is the new piece of information? Are they gonna 1833 01:16:56,239 --> 01:16:58,960 announce a new character today? Are they gonna announce a 1834 01:16:59,039 --> 01:17:02,000 new item, new stage? You're always hoping it's gonna be 1835 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,439 a new character. I remember when Sonic was announced, It's like, 1836 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,840 holy hell, that's insane, Like all the all the stuff 1837 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,359 when they finally showed off these characters was it was 1838 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,279 like crazy information. And so it's really cool that's happening 1839 01:17:12,399 --> 01:17:16,439 for Kirby, but more so it's it's made me realize that. Man, 1840 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,399 when the next Smash is announced, I bet he's gonna 1841 01:17:19,399 --> 01:17:21,159 do the same thing here with daily updates on there. 1842 01:17:21,159 --> 01:17:22,880 He's gonna bring the Smash dojo back. He didn't do 1843 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,000 it for Smash four, didn't do it for Ultimate, but 1844 01:17:25,239 --> 01:17:27,720 I am already excited for that, and if it doesn't happen, 1845 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:29,920 I will be disappointed because that would get me to 1846 01:17:30,039 --> 01:17:33,439 use that app every single day. So please do it, Nintendo. 1847 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,800 So I just had to shout that out a little anecdote. 1848 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:40,119 I rle Warriors Age of Imprisonment. The Uh yeah, that's 1849 01:17:40,159 --> 01:17:41,920 coming out over November six. I don't think we had 1850 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:43,399 that release date, so we were waiting for that one. 1851 01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:44,279 So that's coming out soon. 1852 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:44,920 Speaker 3: Uh. 1853 01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 1: Dragon Quest seven Reimagined is coming out in February of 1854 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:49,840 next year, which I think this is a new announcement. 1855 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,000 But it's crazy, man, like with the Dragon Quest three 1856 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,359 HD two D and then the one plus two HD 1857 01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,840 two D and now this, like they're just pumping out 1858 01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,119 these these things in This has a different style. It's 1859 01:18:01,119 --> 01:18:03,520 not the two D HD style, but I think this 1860 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,800 looks gorgeous. This is on the wish list someday I 1861 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,359 will definitely pick this up and play this. I've not 1862 01:18:07,359 --> 01:18:10,479 played seven. I love the art style here, except for 1863 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,880 the one guy who looked like Lord Farquad who did 1864 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,000 not fit in with the cast at all, But everyone 1865 01:18:15,039 --> 01:18:16,760 else I thought it looked super cute and great. It 1866 01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:21,159 has that Toriama style, the dragon Quest style, super colorful, vibrant. 1867 01:18:21,199 --> 01:18:23,680 It seems like they've streamlined the story. I know this 1868 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,520 game's like one hundred hours long, but maybe that means 1869 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,800 they've shortened it and made it more compact someday. I'm 1870 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,560 looking forward to playing this version because I think this 1871 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,199 h This looked great. 1872 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:33,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, looked fantastic. 1873 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:37,239 Speaker 2: I'm just expecting to see like a dragon Quest every 1874 01:18:37,279 --> 01:18:38,560 time I get like every year. 1875 01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,520 Speaker 3: Essentially, it's just like they're you know, they're they're in 1876 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:41,880 a role. 1877 01:18:42,399 --> 01:18:44,720 Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, maybe that new one will come out 1878 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,279 like literally the when are were on eleven twelve? Whatever 1879 01:18:47,319 --> 01:18:51,880 it is? Who knows where that's happened someday. So next 1880 01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,039 up was an update for Nintendo Switch Online, which is, 1881 01:18:55,680 --> 01:19:01,319 of all things, the Virtual Boy, the Nintendo VR console 1882 01:19:01,399 --> 01:19:04,079 from like the eighties or whatever, the kind of faux 1883 01:19:04,159 --> 01:19:08,000 VR you know. This is coming out February seventeenth, along 1884 01:19:08,039 --> 01:19:10,359 with this they're they're bringing back the peripheral that you 1885 01:19:10,399 --> 01:19:12,399 need for the virtual which is the ugliest looking thing 1886 01:19:12,399 --> 01:19:14,720 you'll ever see in your life. So there's the plastic version, 1887 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,880 or there's like a cheaper labo like cardboard version you 1888 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,880 can get as well. They say you need these to 1889 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,960 use these games, but like, I'm guessing there's not like 1890 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,760 some weird soft lock on the heartlight that you would 1891 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,479 need to connect it to the hardware. I'm guessing you 1892 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,600 can just boot them up and they'd probably be weird 1893 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,640 because of the three D effect if you just played 1894 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,600 them in two D like on your regular switch handhelder 1895 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,159 on a TV. But I'm guessing they're not gonna lock 1896 01:19:37,159 --> 01:19:40,159 that information out. I think this is really cool from 1897 01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:45,119 like the conservation of games media pretty much like you know, 1898 01:19:45,159 --> 01:19:46,960 it's cool that these games which are kind of lost 1899 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,079 of time are gonna have time to shine again. And 1900 01:19:49,399 --> 01:19:51,560 I know some people are excited about this, but for me, 1901 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,680 as a subscriber of Switch online and knowing that this 1902 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,680 is like the update we're getting for next year, is like, yeah, 1903 01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:59,800 Like I'll try these games out and I'll probably spend 1904 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,800 you know, two minutes or each of them, and then 1905 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,359 like move on with my life. It's like not really 1906 01:20:04,359 --> 01:20:06,560 what I wanted from the service. I was hoping for 1907 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,520 either more just confirmations of games coming to game Tubrand 1908 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:11,960 sixty four or like the next console. 1909 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:12,840 Speaker 3: I don't know what that would be. 1910 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,760 Speaker 1: But like, obviously now it's a virtual boy, which is 1911 01:20:15,399 --> 01:20:17,600 cool for like the history of it, but not really 1912 01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:20,239 that cool in terms of like this is what I 1913 01:20:20,279 --> 01:20:23,960 pay a monthly for, Like just kind of disappointing in 1914 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:25,479 that way. So I'm happy for the people that are 1915 01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,319 excited for this, but I'm not buying this. I'll try 1916 01:20:28,319 --> 01:20:30,399 the game's two D version when they hit the service, 1917 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,560 just to say I have But that's the most I 1918 01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,079 can say about this. Unfortunately. 1919 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:41,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just didn't do anything for me. This was 1920 01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,600 the I feel like part of the watch along. We 1921 01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,680 were joking it's like, well, at least there's no cardboard 1922 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,439 labo stuff in here. And then like on on the 1923 01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,560 dot that this came out and it looked pretty cool, 1924 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,119 you know, like like if I was if I was 1925 01:20:55,119 --> 01:20:56,560 at a friend's house and they had it, like Okay, 1926 01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,039 let let's see what this thing does. But never what 1927 01:20:59,159 --> 01:21:02,199 I kick or never can I see myself really going 1928 01:21:02,239 --> 01:21:03,960 out and seeking this out and. 1929 01:21:04,279 --> 01:21:06,560 Speaker 3: Just has me wondering who this is really targeted for. 1930 01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, like like who who's gonna be doing that if 1931 01:21:09,239 --> 01:21:12,560 they're just looking for really unique ways of playing old, 1932 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,880 old classic game Like I don't know, it's it's weird. 1933 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, And to me, it doesn't seem like it really 1934 01:21:17,199 --> 01:21:19,880 fits well with the Nintendo Switch online format, Like I 1935 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,439 feel like they should have done this as and this 1936 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,760 could have been like a connection with the Mario fortieth 1937 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:26,439 you know, you promote some of the Mario games that 1938 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,960 exist for that virtual boy, because I think it would 1939 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:30,119 have made more sense as like you know how they 1940 01:21:30,119 --> 01:21:32,560 did the NES Classic and the SNES Classic. 1941 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,119 Speaker 3: I think this sort of made more sense. 1942 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,399 Speaker 1: As that, Like just you buy the peripheral, it comes 1943 01:21:36,399 --> 01:21:38,319 with the games packed in. You plug it in. It's 1944 01:21:38,399 --> 01:21:40,119 kind of a cheaper version than it was back in 1945 01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:42,239 the day. You can play it, have the oddity of it. 1946 01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,000 But to me, it like you have to you have 1947 01:21:45,079 --> 01:21:49,039 to be subscribed to this service this monthly or I 1948 01:21:49,079 --> 01:21:51,600 guess you don't buy it as a yearly service. So 1949 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,479 if you buy the hardware, you just can't do anything 1950 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:56,760 with it unless you're also subscribed to the service, which 1951 01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,359 someday will inevitably like not exist anymore. So it just 1952 01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,560 feels like kind of a miss in that way too, 1953 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:02,640 especially if it's only. 1954 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:03,319 Speaker 3: Like fourteen games. 1955 01:22:03,359 --> 01:22:04,640 Speaker 1: Like I feel like they should have just done it 1956 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,680 as a separate thing and not plugged it in such 1957 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,880 online because I just don't feel like this really ads 1958 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:11,399 a lot of value to the service. But I guess 1959 01:22:11,399 --> 01:22:13,680 they're running out of consoles to do because like obviously 1960 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,279 DS three DS is tricky because of the double screens. 1961 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,279 We I guess they could get away with it with 1962 01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:21,479 like the motion controls because their joy cons do have that, 1963 01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:25,359 but it might be a bit unelegant. So I understand 1964 01:22:25,359 --> 01:22:28,000 why they've done this choice here, but like, I don't know, 1965 01:22:28,039 --> 01:22:30,039 I would have been hyped for Dreamcast if they did it, 1966 01:22:30,079 --> 01:22:32,399 because obviously they have the Genesis on there. Give me 1967 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,520 the freaking Dreamcast or something like there's some weird games 1968 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:35,720 on there. 1969 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,359 Speaker 3: It would have been cool. But anyway, that's that's that. 1970 01:22:39,399 --> 01:22:43,279 Speaker 1: One. One thing I was excited for though, is early 1971 01:22:43,319 --> 01:22:47,000 twenty twenty six is Fatal Frame two Crimson Butterfly remake. 1972 01:22:47,079 --> 01:22:49,039 So I've never played a Fatal Frame game, but I 1973 01:22:49,079 --> 01:22:53,000 really like what it is, like just this weird Japanese 1974 01:22:53,359 --> 01:22:56,800 Nintendo horror series that's kind of like under the radar, 1975 01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:00,439 pretty low key. I've never played these games. This This 1976 01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,359 looked gorgeous, like I love the arts doll because it's 1977 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:04,359 got a fresh coat of paint, but it still has 1978 01:23:04,399 --> 01:23:08,680 this kind of retro lower res style to it, like 1979 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:12,279 it's extremely stylish. The cut scenes look great. It looks freaky. 1980 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,000 So I as a as someone who's been getting deeply 1981 01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,640 into horror games the last few years, I'm pretty intrigued 1982 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,560 by this. I put the first one this kind of 1983 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,520 reminded me of the first one. Got like a remaker 1984 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,600 remaster recently, and I put that on my wish list. 1985 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,359 So cool to see fatal frames still existing. I wonder 1986 01:23:26,359 --> 01:23:28,199 if they'll do a new one at some point. If 1987 01:23:28,239 --> 01:23:30,720 these are this, then the other one I have been successful. 1988 01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,239 I mean, if they did a remake of this after 1989 01:23:33,239 --> 01:23:36,039 that last remaster, that one must have done decent numbers, 1990 01:23:36,079 --> 01:23:37,199 so we'll see what happens there. 1991 01:23:37,199 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 3: But cool, kind of weird oddity. 1992 01:23:40,039 --> 01:23:42,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I had never heard of the series before. 1993 01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:46,680 It looked really creepy and just creepy. 1994 01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:47,079 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1995 01:23:47,319 --> 01:23:51,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, some switch to versions are coming from few games 1996 01:23:51,119 --> 01:23:54,560 one piece, overcooked, Stardew Valley is getting mouse controls, which 1997 01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:58,239 is which is cool, and then Human Fall Flat, so 1998 01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:02,239 there you go, and then Powerwashed Theater is para Washerton 1999 01:24:02,239 --> 01:24:04,479 there two. I should say it's coming out soon or 2000 01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,039 might be out now. Sweek of Game Planet, which that 2001 01:24:07,159 --> 01:24:09,840 was like a weird, sweaky game where like randomly came 2002 01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,239 out and was like huge. It's like a weird little 2003 01:24:12,319 --> 01:24:14,279 Arcadie tetrisy kind of thing. So this is kind of 2004 01:24:14,319 --> 01:24:17,319 like that, but like almost like a Mario Galaxy version 2005 01:24:17,319 --> 01:24:19,000 where it's like a three D thing now or other 2006 01:24:19,079 --> 01:24:22,479 than just like dropping things directly downwards. So that's cool 2007 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,159 for people who are into that. Next up was Metroid 2008 01:24:25,159 --> 01:24:28,159 Prime four, which finally got its release date of December fourth, 2009 01:24:28,159 --> 01:24:30,840 so it is finally coming out this year. What did 2010 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,680 you think of this spicy new trailer for Metro Prime. 2011 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was exciting to finally be able to see something. 2012 01:24:40,199 --> 01:24:46,119 I while watching this, it was reminding me of the 2013 01:24:46,159 --> 01:24:50,199 Metro game that I played on Nintendo DS, not even 2014 01:24:50,239 --> 01:24:52,920 three DS or anything like way back in the day, Hunters. 2015 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,600 I think it was Hunters because I remember playing it 2016 01:24:55,640 --> 01:25:00,279 with friends and just just the gameplay reminded me of that, 2017 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,319 and just like the sound effects was like reminding me 2018 01:25:03,359 --> 01:25:05,800 of that and some some happy memories in there, and. 2019 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 3: That's kind of where it ended. 2020 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,439 Speaker 2: Honestly, I was surprised that it didn't have a lot 2021 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,560 in here to really sell me on it. It seemed just, 2022 01:25:13,079 --> 01:25:15,760 I don't want to say dated, but just like like 2023 01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:19,000 a different era of gaming for me while watching this, 2024 01:25:19,079 --> 01:25:21,439 and not really what I personally would have wanted for 2025 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,720 like just having so much build up to it. But 2026 01:25:24,319 --> 01:25:27,479 I don't know, like maybe other people are getting super super. 2027 01:25:27,359 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 3: Jazz for this. 2028 01:25:28,039 --> 01:25:31,119 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just not a metroid fan like I thought 2029 01:25:31,159 --> 01:25:34,239 I was. I don't know, there's something in the trailer 2030 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:36,880 that just didn't really do it for me. 2031 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I've been kind of on the fence with 2032 01:25:40,239 --> 01:25:43,720 this game and just like anxiously waiting for more information, 2033 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,439 and I think with this trailer we got to see, 2034 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,279 I guess a bit more of the visual des I'm 2035 01:25:48,319 --> 01:25:50,960 obviously the big new highlight here was that Samas has 2036 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:52,960 a bike and there are kind of like these open 2037 01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,960 world sequences, But the bike didn't look very fun to drive, 2038 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,680 and the open world sequences looked boring as hell. I 2039 01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:02,359 also think the visuals of this looked quite bad, to 2040 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:03,840 just be honest. I don't know if they were showing 2041 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,399 like the Switch one version or something. But I've been 2042 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,520 on the fence. I think I'm officially jumping off the 2043 01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,359 fence and I'm not picking up this game. I love 2044 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,600 Dread and I've played a few of the two I've 2045 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,279 played I think every two D Metroid game, and I 2046 01:26:16,319 --> 01:26:19,880 really like that series. Prime I've only played a bit 2047 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:21,520 of it, so it's like, obviously, it's like not really 2048 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,640 my sub series, but I do love first person shooters, 2049 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,439 so there's potential here. Some the other trailers had intriguing 2050 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,279 stuff in them, but I was waiting for a bit more, 2051 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,119 and this trailer just I thought it just looked really bad. 2052 01:26:31,159 --> 01:26:34,239 So I'm unfortunately out on this one. I'm wondering if 2053 01:26:34,239 --> 01:26:36,199 this game is gonna also get a direct. You know, 2054 01:26:36,239 --> 01:26:39,039 they've been doing a lot for Marco World, Donkey Kong, Bonanza, 2055 01:26:39,159 --> 01:26:41,760 Kirby getting two of them, so I feel like this 2056 01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,239 game it could use one. But also I feel like 2057 01:26:44,239 --> 01:26:46,680 Metroid is such a mysterious series that I don't I 2058 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,920 feel like you don't want to show too much, but 2059 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:50,840 I feel like they probably will do a direct for 2060 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,720 this one. Maybe not forty five minutes like Sacrize Kirby ones, 2061 01:26:54,039 --> 01:26:56,880 Maybe just like ten fifteen minutes show off how the bike, 2062 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,720 how the open world works, some of the mechanics, and 2063 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,039 maybe I could get resold on it. But this game 2064 01:27:03,119 --> 01:27:07,239 just not doing it for me, unfortunately. I will I 2065 01:27:07,319 --> 01:27:09,199 gotta ask you, what did you think of Samus's design. 2066 01:27:09,319 --> 01:27:11,960 It's kind of like more red than orange, and it's 2067 01:27:12,039 --> 01:27:14,680 kind of more like hybrid black and red rather than 2068 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,880 just like one solid color. It's kind of been used 2069 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,279 in more recent designs of the character, but this red 2070 01:27:20,399 --> 01:27:22,840 version is kind of new for this game. And yeah, 2071 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:24,880 I'm curious what you think of the visual design of it. 2072 01:27:26,039 --> 01:27:26,640 Speaker 3: I liked it. 2073 01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:30,079 Speaker 2: I thought it fit the just just the color palettes 2074 01:27:30,119 --> 01:27:34,000 that were shown. I don't know, it seemed less like 2075 01:27:34,239 --> 01:27:37,359 classic Arcadie than it normally. 2076 01:27:37,199 --> 01:27:40,039 Speaker 3: Is, so I liked it overall. 2077 01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Dread was a very red kind 2078 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,520 of game, so this almost feels like a more like 2079 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,439 visual identity for the series now. Yeah, but I love 2080 01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,520 me my Salmon's orange, so I was a little little 2081 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:53,359 I'm not really liking the new design a whole up, 2082 01:27:53,359 --> 01:27:55,359 but maybe it'll always in the game you get different 2083 01:27:55,399 --> 01:27:58,079 suits and things change up. You always get the purple 2084 01:27:58,079 --> 01:28:00,319 suits or whatever. So yeah, we'll see what that looks like. 2085 01:28:00,359 --> 01:28:02,640 But yeah, that is finally coming out of December fourth. 2086 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,279 I'm glad that it's finally coming out, and I'm excited 2087 01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:07,000 for the people that are excited for it. I'm excited 2088 01:28:07,039 --> 01:28:08,640 to get those impressions of it. But yeah, I think 2089 01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:13,159 I am officially out on Metro Prime four beyond. Unfortunately. 2090 01:28:14,359 --> 01:28:18,439 Next up is donkey Kong Bananza is getting its first 2091 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:22,239 and maybe only DLC called DK Island plus Emerald Rush. 2092 01:28:22,279 --> 01:28:25,000 It's out now out a few days ago. They have 2093 01:28:25,079 --> 01:28:28,479 the direct So this is adds one new layer, which 2094 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,680 is don Ykong Island, which can go around. It's got 2095 01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,720 the theme from Don Kong sixty four, So they're tugging 2096 01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,600 on my heart strings there showing off that same giant 2097 01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,239 DK head Island that of course in don Kyong sixty 2098 01:28:39,239 --> 01:28:41,960 four some references. And then Emerald Rush is like a 2099 01:28:42,039 --> 01:28:44,279 roguelike kind of mode or you're smashing up stuff, You're 2100 01:28:44,319 --> 01:28:47,359 getting different upgrades and then you're smashing more stuff collecting gems. 2101 01:28:48,399 --> 01:28:50,399 I this is the one time where I'll break my 2102 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:55,239 rule of complaining about pricing. So don Kung Bonanza Kirkland 2103 01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,119 in Canadian dollars with tax was one hundred and ten 2104 01:28:59,279 --> 01:29:02,720 dollars for me to purchase that game. This is coming 2105 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:07,479 out two months later, less than two months later, an 2106 01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:11,000 extra thirty five dollars for this, which is one layer 2107 01:29:11,319 --> 01:29:13,520 and a roguel like mode that doesn't look that good. 2108 01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:15,800 And this isn't like a season past situation where there's 2109 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,800 more come in so extreme it seems like extremely overpriced. 2110 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,840 I've been reading some impressions of it on the subreddit 2111 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,319 cause Obvious out now, and almost everyone is like, yeah, 2112 01:29:24,359 --> 01:29:27,279 this kind of sucks, or yeah this is fine, but 2113 01:29:27,399 --> 01:29:29,960 like way overpriced, and so I just think this is 2114 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000 like kind of grimy, And like the comparison I've seen 2115 01:29:33,039 --> 01:29:37,039 people make is that in Mario Odyssey, the post like 2116 01:29:37,039 --> 01:29:39,119 once you beat the game, the last level of you 2117 01:29:39,159 --> 01:29:42,439 unlock is like a Princess Peach like Mushroom Kingdom level, 2118 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,359 and it's a very basic level. There's not a lot 2119 01:29:44,399 --> 01:29:45,920 to it, but it's kind of more like a victory 2120 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,000 lap or like a little fun little bonus on top. 2121 01:29:48,399 --> 01:29:50,079 And it kind of seems like that's what this is 2122 01:29:50,119 --> 01:29:52,439 for this because it doesn't seem like a very intense layer. 2123 01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,600 It compared to other layers in the games is pretty basic, 2124 01:29:55,159 --> 01:29:56,920 and so it kind of just feels like, well, shouldn't 2125 01:29:56,960 --> 01:29:59,319 this kind of be that fun little post game like, hey, 2126 01:29:59,359 --> 01:30:02,560 you're just your relax, you go back, you chill, But 2127 01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,359 instead they ripped it out and charge for it. And 2128 01:30:04,359 --> 01:30:06,119 I think the other grimy part about this for me, 2129 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,199 and this is a bit of rumor has but to hearsay, 2130 01:30:08,239 --> 01:30:10,439 so maybe call me out for this. Apparently this game 2131 01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:14,000 was done quite a long time ago, or has been 2132 01:30:14,079 --> 01:30:16,039 done for a while, and they kind of held it 2133 01:30:16,079 --> 01:30:18,039 back obviously to release it as a switch to game 2134 01:30:18,079 --> 01:30:20,319 because it wasn't working super well and switched once they 2135 01:30:20,359 --> 01:30:21,960 had to make it a switch two game, And so 2136 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:23,760 it seems like this game has been done for a while, 2137 01:30:24,199 --> 01:30:26,640 and so naturally it seems like this mode and this 2138 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,399 new island have probably been done like even before this 2139 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:31,039 game came out, and so they obviously just kind of 2140 01:30:31,079 --> 01:30:33,079 like stripped it out to sell it as DLC later, 2141 01:30:33,119 --> 01:30:35,119 which a lot of games do that. It obviously is 2142 01:30:35,159 --> 01:30:37,239 pretty common, it has been commonplace for a long time, 2143 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,600 but for a game that was already one hundred and 2144 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:46,000 ten fucking dollars seems extremely egregious for me, so I 2145 01:30:46,079 --> 01:30:48,000 would have liked to play this obviously. I'm so nostalgia 2146 01:30:48,039 --> 01:30:51,560 for n sixty four Donng Kong sixty four that like, man, 2147 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:52,920 I really want to get in there and see what 2148 01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:56,119 it's all about. But yeah, this just seems ridiculous. So 2149 01:30:56,119 --> 01:30:58,600 I'm not gonna buy it, not gonna support it and 2150 01:30:59,279 --> 01:31:01,800 do better in him know this is this is gross 2151 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,000 and nasty and bad. 2152 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:05,520 Speaker 3: No, that's nuts. 2153 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,920 Speaker 2: I always hate like DLCs that are already on the 2154 01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,239 release of the game, like it's just it's just so 2155 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,720 just so ridiculous, and it sounds like that's pretty much 2156 01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:17,600 the case here and just just having the prices of 2157 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:19,039 what they're at, it's just nuts to me. 2158 01:31:19,359 --> 01:31:22,119 Speaker 3: I'll always look back on the Great Witcher three. 2159 01:31:22,079 --> 01:31:25,239 Speaker 2: And they you know, they had two fantastic dealcs that 2160 01:31:25,279 --> 01:31:27,800 were like Massive Mass. 2161 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:32,319 Speaker 1: Project pops off, Yeah, and like Vauly they give you 2162 01:31:32,399 --> 01:31:33,079 a whole new game. 2163 01:31:33,279 --> 01:31:35,119 Speaker 2: Those are like fifteen bucks, you know what I mean, 2164 01:31:35,159 --> 01:31:37,640 Like like with how much extra content you get for 2165 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:38,319 fifteen dollars. 2166 01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 1: The same with like the Cyberpunk Liberty Oh yeah, City Phantom. 2167 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:47,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, Phantoantom, Phantom Liberty was like a huge. 2168 01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:50,520 Speaker 2: DLC, which exactly, it's cool they do that, and then 2169 01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,840 you get this and be like this ridiculous. 2170 01:31:53,079 --> 01:31:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Next up was a bit of a surprise for me, 2171 01:31:55,800 --> 01:32:01,199 so Pokemon Pocopeia coming out twenty twenty six. So it's 2172 01:32:01,199 --> 01:32:03,720 funny when we were watching this during during the watch line, 2173 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,119 I think you and Taylor had dipped at this point 2174 01:32:07,079 --> 01:32:09,960 this game. First of all, me and Trevs were like, 2175 01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:11,319 what the hell is going on here? Because it's like 2176 01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,560 a Ditto is there, and a Ditto transforms into this child, 2177 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:17,920 which is like a you know, nightmare fuel kind of thing, 2178 01:32:18,399 --> 01:32:20,159 and then it goes into like what is essentially like 2179 01:32:20,159 --> 01:32:22,720 a Pokemon Minecraft, like you're just building up a little town, 2180 01:32:23,279 --> 01:32:25,600 and rather than having like different tools and things like that, 2181 01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,640 it's like the different Pokemon and their elemental abilities or 2182 01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:30,920 their attributes, those are the things that are helping you 2183 01:32:31,279 --> 01:32:33,279 do this kind of stuff. So obviously, use squirtle to 2184 01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,399 water your plants, use bubble sort of like start a 2185 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,640 or sorry not use bubble sort of you know, plant things, 2186 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,199 squirtled water things. Use charmander to like you know, mike 2187 01:32:44,239 --> 01:32:47,039 a campfire or whatever. Maybe you could use like a 2188 01:32:47,039 --> 01:32:49,079 sea sort of like chop down trees. You could use 2189 01:32:49,199 --> 01:32:51,279 I forget the name of them, a little digging Pokemon 2190 01:32:51,319 --> 01:32:53,479 to like dig up crops and so you can plant stuff. 2191 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:55,760 So really great idea is super cute. I think the 2192 01:32:55,800 --> 01:33:00,119 graphics are gorgeous in this I love it. I I 2193 01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:02,560 want to pick this game up. I'm weird with Pokemon, 2194 01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,119 where like I'll, you know, I'll play a mainline game 2195 01:33:04,159 --> 01:33:06,159 every once in a while and it's like it's fine, 2196 01:33:06,199 --> 01:33:07,840 but it's kind of the same thing. But I just 2197 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,239 kind of impulse bot Pokemon Snap the new one when 2198 01:33:10,279 --> 01:33:12,119 that came out on the Switch, and loved it. And 2199 01:33:12,159 --> 01:33:14,920 I think for me, it's like the combat in Pokemon 2200 01:33:15,039 --> 01:33:17,439 is fine and it's kind of always the same and 2201 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:19,399 you kind of get the idea of it and it 2202 01:33:19,399 --> 01:33:22,520 gets kind of boring after a while. And I like 2203 01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,920 that this game seemingly has like no combat and it's 2204 01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,840 just like what I love about Pokemon is like I'm 2205 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:28,399 nostalgic for the original one fifty. 2206 01:33:28,399 --> 01:33:30,159 Speaker 3: This game has a lot of them, and I just 2207 01:33:30,159 --> 01:33:33,479 think it's like a cute, low key, vibing world. 2208 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,079 Speaker 1: This game looks gorgeous, so like, I don't know, I 2209 01:33:36,159 --> 01:33:39,319 might buy this, Like I it has that Pokemon snap 2210 01:33:39,399 --> 01:33:40,920 aesthetic to it, which is like I just want to 2211 01:33:41,199 --> 01:33:44,319 be in a cute, fun, happy world where nothing bad happens, 2212 01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:46,159 and I just want to build up this cute town. 2213 01:33:46,159 --> 01:33:48,399 I've always loved the look of a Pokemon town, and 2214 01:33:48,399 --> 01:33:50,479 now you even like build one up from scratch. There was 2215 01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:52,920 like a Pokemon center at some point, and like that 2216 01:33:53,039 --> 01:33:55,319 just seems great. So I don't know how much compares 2217 01:33:55,359 --> 01:33:58,920 to Minecraft in terms of like the the scale of it, 2218 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:00,760 Like are these world Is this like an infinite world 2219 01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:03,239 you can build forever? I'm gonna guess know, So I 2220 01:34:03,279 --> 01:34:04,920 have to, you know, definitely wait and see impressions or 2221 01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:06,840 get more info on it. But like I though this 2222 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:08,720 game looked great. This is kind of exactly what I 2223 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:12,000 personally want from Pokemon. So I could see myself picking 2224 01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,000 this one up. And uh, yeah, I'm wondering what you 2225 01:34:14,079 --> 01:34:16,319 thought of it. As someone who's kind of into games 2226 01:34:16,359 --> 01:34:18,000 like this, I feel like, I don't know if Shaye 2227 01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,119 is a Pokemon person, but this is right up her 2228 01:34:20,159 --> 01:34:20,800 ally for sure. 2229 01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:24,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one hundred percent. I think that's that would 2230 01:34:24,239 --> 01:34:27,560 be the way that we purchased this one, is if 2231 01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:28,760 she superre. 2232 01:34:28,319 --> 01:34:30,920 Speaker 1: You just co op in there? Did they say anything about. 2233 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,560 Speaker 2: It, I can't remember if they did say that or not, 2234 01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,159 but just the trailer itself, it just looked like a 2235 01:34:36,239 --> 01:34:38,680 mix up of like some animal crossing with Pokemon in there, 2236 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:41,680 and like she got absolutely obsessed with animal crossing. So 2237 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:44,560 I think it would be right up their alley or 2238 01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:47,800 up her alley. It looks really cute, and I don't know, 2239 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,760 it's just a different Pokemon type game that I'm used 2240 01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:54,720 to seeing. And although I'm not like super into Pokemon 2241 01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:56,960 like I used to be, I still love, you know, 2242 01:34:57,039 --> 01:34:59,960 I still like Pokemon. I like especially the classic book 2243 01:35:00,079 --> 01:35:02,760 one that I can at least identify. See my charmanders 2244 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,319 in there, my squirtles, my my bulbole sores, like I 2245 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:09,119 always love those guys. So yeah, I thought it looked 2246 01:35:09,159 --> 01:35:09,640 pretty cool. 2247 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:15,359 Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, I think, uh, because you know, a lot 2248 01:35:15,359 --> 01:35:17,239 of people I'm talking about like is Animal Cross and 2249 01:35:17,279 --> 01:35:19,760 people have been theorizing or I don't know, necessarily rumors, 2250 01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,159 but people just kind of theorizing that maybe an animal 2251 01:35:22,159 --> 01:35:24,159 crossing new Animal Cross is gonna come out next year 2252 01:35:24,239 --> 01:35:27,279 or something. I wonder if that's the case, Like between 2253 01:35:27,279 --> 01:35:30,239 Tomadacci Life and I like, dan Come is a smaller 2254 01:35:30,239 --> 01:35:31,960 one for sure, But then this which is very Animal 2255 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,359 Crossing me like, I don't know. To me, it feels 2256 01:35:34,359 --> 01:35:35,960 like they're almost trying to fill the void a little 2257 01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,279 bit of like, yeah, Animal Crossing is still few us away, 2258 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,399 and so like we're gonna get some other games coming 2259 01:35:40,399 --> 01:35:42,159 in the door that are kind of similar to that 2260 01:35:42,279 --> 01:35:43,920 and like fill that niche. And like if you are 2261 01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:46,760 a switch to owner and you want games like Animal Crossing, 2262 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:47,640 we don't have that for. 2263 01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:49,479 Speaker 3: You, but here's what we got. You can check out 2264 01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:50,399 these other games instead. 2265 01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:51,359 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 2266 01:35:51,399 --> 01:35:53,039 Speaker 3: My theory right now is that Animal Crossing is so 2267 01:35:53,159 --> 01:35:53,880 kind of far away. 2268 01:35:54,079 --> 01:35:56,199 Speaker 1: We'll see. I'd love to be proven wrong about that. 2269 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,159 Let's take our last ad break of the show and 2270 01:35:59,199 --> 01:36:01,479 then we'll start speeding run through. I have notes for 2271 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:02,720 all this stuff, and man, we still have a lot 2272 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:04,239 to get through, so we'll kind of speed run through it. 2273 01:36:04,279 --> 01:36:08,800 So we'll be right back. All right, we are back 2274 01:36:09,239 --> 01:36:12,279 after Pokemon was another Pokemon I got z A. I 2275 01:36:12,279 --> 01:36:14,279 think it already had a release date, but mid October 2276 01:36:14,279 --> 01:36:17,199 that's coming out. They confirmed with this there's DLC coming. 2277 01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,199 So you know, however you feel about that announcing DLC 2278 01:36:20,279 --> 01:36:21,920 for a game that's not out yet, you know whatever, 2279 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:25,119 Mega Rischew X and Y is like a new thing 2280 01:36:25,159 --> 01:36:26,840 going on here. They didn't really show much of the DLC. 2281 01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:28,479 They just kind of showed those two characters and then 2282 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,960 like talk that about it being a thing. So we'll 2283 01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:32,840 see what the setting is. If it's still in the 2284 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:37,039 city or something different. Let's see. 2285 01:36:37,079 --> 01:36:40,159 Speaker 3: I'll just plo out through these Degan Rampa two times two, which. 2286 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:41,840 Speaker 1: Is a great name for a remake in my opinion 2287 01:36:42,039 --> 01:36:46,520 of that. Dynasty Warriors Origins coming out or is out, 2288 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:48,640 Monster Hunters Stories three, which I know some people are 2289 01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:52,600 excited about. Dis Guy is seven EA Sports FC, Dragon 2290 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,560 Quest one and two. Those remakes that's reconfirmed come out 2291 01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,840 and I think early next year. So as you mentioned 2292 01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:01,720 Dragon Quest just everywhere, Virtual Fight of five Lego Voyagers 2293 01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,800 is coming out and just I think it's actually out today. 2294 01:37:04,239 --> 01:37:06,000 That's that co Op one that looks super cute, so 2295 01:37:06,079 --> 01:37:08,159 looking forward to that one. The Little Lightmare's three is 2296 01:37:08,199 --> 01:37:10,720 on the switch now. Persona three reloads on the switch 2297 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:14,039 now and or at least the demos at now. They 2298 01:37:14,039 --> 01:37:16,560 confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem which is coming out obviously 2299 01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:19,520 February twenty seventh to forty knew that is coming out 2300 01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:21,119 on the switch too, and there was actually kind of 2301 01:37:21,119 --> 01:37:24,119 some new footage here to my eye, some new footage, 2302 01:37:24,239 --> 01:37:25,880 and one of them was the main character who I 2303 01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:27,640 can't even remember the name of, but she was like 2304 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,159 walking around a populated city, which sounds like a small detail, 2305 01:37:31,199 --> 01:37:34,199 but like, you don't do that in Resident Evil, Like 2306 01:37:34,239 --> 01:37:36,880 it's always like you're in a raccoon city which is 2307 01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,039 burning to the ground, or it's a world where like 2308 01:37:39,079 --> 01:37:41,439 there's just dead people and zombies everywhere, and so her 2309 01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:44,600 just walking around like a regular ass city and going 2310 01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,359 into a building is like a crazy thing to me. Like, 2311 01:37:46,399 --> 01:37:47,800 I don't know if that's just a cut scene. I 2312 01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,000 assume it kind of is, but if you actually get 2313 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,000 to like walk around cities and stuff, like, I don't know, 2314 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,720 it seems like an interesting detail that I can't think 2315 01:37:55,319 --> 01:37:56,920 has been done in a Reside Evil game before. I know. 2316 01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,159 There's like other cut scenes like people in like an 2317 01:37:59,199 --> 01:38:01,439 office building just talking about news and stuff, and it's 2318 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,399 like just different vibes here. And obviously then you get 2319 01:38:04,399 --> 01:38:07,000 into like a creepy motel where the power goes out 2320 01:38:07,039 --> 01:38:09,439 and all the things you typically expect to happen. So 2321 01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:11,439 I like the new footagechair. I thought it was actually 2322 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:12,960 the best trailer we've seen for the game so far, 2323 01:38:13,079 --> 01:38:14,920 So shout outs to the game for doing that. And 2324 01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:16,640 then Residin Eevil seven and Air also come to the 2325 01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:19,159 Switch to the same day, I think, so that kind 2326 01:38:19,159 --> 01:38:21,840 of new trilogy is all popping up on the Switch, 2327 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:23,840 which is cool because I think the Switch already has 2328 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,239 a ton of those games on there, so good console 2329 01:38:26,239 --> 01:38:28,760 for Resident Evil. Any any thoughts on the ri stuff. 2330 01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:33,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I thought it was it was a cool trailer. 2331 01:38:34,279 --> 01:38:36,359 I'm liking more and more what I'm seeing for for 2332 01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:42,039 this new, newer Resident Evil. And yeah, and I Spooky 2333 01:38:42,039 --> 01:38:44,880 Season's coming. I'm I'm gonna I think I'm gonna attempt 2334 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:48,800 to jump into to a Risin level game. Uh, Resin 2335 01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:51,800 Evil two is not on my my games pass anymore, 2336 01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:53,880 so I can't jump into that one, but I do 2337 01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:57,279 have like bile Hazard's such a bad one to jump 2338 01:38:57,279 --> 01:38:59,199 into first. I kind of want to build up courage 2339 01:38:59,239 --> 01:39:04,000 for that one. But maybe it'll be Biohazard but Age. 2340 01:39:03,279 --> 01:39:05,239 Speaker 3: If not, two and three is a little combo pack. 2341 01:39:05,239 --> 01:39:07,439 I think I've Recollected You Before would be really really good. 2342 01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:10,119 Speaker 1: The remakes there or just RESONU Before remake if that 2343 01:39:10,159 --> 01:39:13,199 has a good sale on it as well. Right, great 2344 01:39:13,199 --> 01:39:16,840 game for sure, and the DLC is great as well. Okay, 2345 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,640 so last announcement of the show. I'm glad I have 2346 01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:22,720 you here for this, Kirkland, because of course it is 2347 01:39:23,159 --> 01:39:26,439 a shared level of Bar's Fire Emblem. Fortune's Weave is 2348 01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,079 the new subtitle here. It's games coming out next year. 2349 01:39:30,239 --> 01:39:32,319 I guess maybe off the top, it's like a kind 2350 01:39:32,359 --> 01:39:35,279 of Roman colisseum sort of setting and styling, and it 2351 01:39:35,279 --> 01:39:38,239 seems like you're gonna have battles in this coliseum and 2352 01:39:38,239 --> 01:39:41,039 then presumably you're kind of exploring out to areas around that. 2353 01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:44,479 So with Fire Emblem, I think there's two teams making 2354 01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:47,119 these games, and so there was a Three Houses team 2355 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,439 and then there was a separate team that made Engage, 2356 01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:52,880 and this appears to be the Three Houses team again, 2357 01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,159 and it makes sense, and there's even one character that 2358 01:39:55,239 --> 01:39:58,319 kind of connects this in Three Houses shares more closely 2359 01:39:58,359 --> 01:40:01,760 with the art style and the gameplace. Presumably it looks 2360 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,039 closer to this than it does Engage. So yeah, as 2361 01:40:04,039 --> 01:40:06,239 a as my fellow fire Emblem enjoyer here, what did 2362 01:40:06,319 --> 01:40:08,800 you think of this? Uh, this new news, new game. 2363 01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:13,439 Speaker 3: This got me pretty excited. I knew about. 2364 01:40:13,199 --> 01:40:15,199 Speaker 2: The announcement before I had actually seen it, so that 2365 01:40:15,319 --> 01:40:17,439 was that was pretty I was looking forward to it. 2366 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:20,760 And then the trailer itself, I don't know there, like 2367 01:40:21,239 --> 01:40:25,279 there wasn't any like particular character or setting or like 2368 01:40:25,279 --> 01:40:26,880 like did it show a little bit of gameplaying here? 2369 01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:28,640 Like there wasn't like a unit type that really sold 2370 01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,560 me on it. It was just like a new era 2371 01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:34,720 of firearms. It gets me kind of excited and just 2372 01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,039 just intrigued at what they're gonna be adding and the 2373 01:40:38,279 --> 01:40:40,920 I can't remember her name, but the character at the 2374 01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:43,399 end that's show and that's yeah. 2375 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, sawfist. 2376 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:50,520 Speaker 2: Very interested on just what that entails, like like for 2377 01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:52,960 what the story wise is. 2378 01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:54,239 Speaker 3: I kind of forgot that. 2379 01:40:54,279 --> 01:40:56,359 Speaker 1: She was like a kid in three Houses. So it's 2380 01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,960 either this is her grown up even though she's like 2381 01:41:00,119 --> 01:41:02,800 Godden doesn't age, yeah, or it's like her mother. I 2382 01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,199 think I've seen people theorize, so I don't know what 2383 01:41:05,279 --> 01:41:08,159 it is, but it's yeah, some in some way shape 2384 01:41:08,199 --> 01:41:10,800 or form has some continuity with three Houses, which is 2385 01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:12,720 interesting to see more of that. 2386 01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean I absolutely love three Houses and 2387 01:41:17,399 --> 01:41:20,159 just just the setup of like a tournament. It just 2388 01:41:20,199 --> 01:41:22,880 fits so well with fire Out like they had it 2389 01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:25,199 in three Houses. I'm sure they had it well. I 2390 01:41:25,199 --> 01:41:27,079 think they even had it in a Weakening. Yeah, they did. 2391 01:41:27,119 --> 01:41:29,760 There was one specific mission that you do that's kind 2392 01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,960 of like a tournament. It just, yeah, seems to fit 2393 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,520 in well there. And of course, like every Fireland game, 2394 01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:38,079 there's gonna be some like crazy story like big scale 2395 01:41:38,159 --> 01:41:40,560 wars that are going on in tandem with this. I 2396 01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:42,520 feel like they kind of they kind of mentioned that 2397 01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:44,840 a little bit in the trailer, and it just it 2398 01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:48,720 just it looked intriguing. I'm always I'm always intrigued when 2399 01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:49,960 it comes to a fire in the game, even though 2400 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,600 I might not get all of them. I'm just enticed 2401 01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:55,960 on what the possibilities might be here. They're just really 2402 01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:59,079 cool games. I love the combination of tactics with my 2403 01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:03,680 good old anime stuff in there and just ridiculous characters. 2404 01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:07,880 Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, I like what you mentioned there of 2405 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,199 like the theming of like, yeah, Arena's colseums there all 2406 01:42:11,239 --> 01:42:13,880 over this series. It's with the with the territory. But 2407 01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:16,359 even back to Sacred Stone, the first one that I've played. 2408 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:18,199 In that game, there was like a two or three 2409 01:42:18,239 --> 01:42:21,119 different colosseums kind of arena battles in the game, which 2410 01:42:21,119 --> 01:42:23,439 is like a gamble thing. You go in, you fight 2411 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:25,560 against someone, it's like do you want to risk fight 2412 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:26,920 another one? You don't know who it's gonna be. You 2413 01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,199 don't get a chance to heal, see what happens, and 2414 01:42:29,239 --> 01:42:31,119 it's like, you know, you just kind of attack back 2415 01:42:31,119 --> 01:42:32,920 and forth so you survives the longest, but it's a 2416 01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:34,760 great way to grind and if you got super lucky. 2417 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:37,920 So obviously, yeah, like that being a central theme I 2418 01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:40,239 think makes a lot of sense. And obviously, like in 2419 01:42:40,279 --> 01:42:42,720 the last few FIREMLM games, they've had this where there's 2420 01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:46,079 like a a home base where you in like a 2421 01:42:46,199 --> 01:42:48,439 you know, third person You're running around explore it. You 2422 01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:51,960 can talk to characters, buy items, laud of all sorts 2423 01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,840 of other random things. And so I really like the 2424 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,960 setting of this of like it seems like you're gonna 2425 01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:59,319 be going around this city. I'm sure there'll be different areas, 2426 01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:03,239 Like obviously it's kind of primarily surrounding this big colosseum 2427 01:43:03,359 --> 01:43:05,680 but then spreading out to the different streets and whatnot. 2428 01:43:06,399 --> 01:43:07,319 Speaker 3: So I like that. 2429 01:43:07,359 --> 01:43:09,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a fun setting. It's funny when I 2430 01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:11,079 was watching the trailer, and you can see this on 2431 01:43:11,079 --> 01:43:13,079 the live strim if you want. First they showed the 2432 01:43:13,119 --> 01:43:15,520 Colosseum stuff, and then we saw two characters sitting in 2433 01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:17,520 like a booth and I was like, Oh, it's fire emblem. 2434 01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:19,319 And then we saw a third character and I was like, Oh, 2435 01:43:19,319 --> 01:43:20,840 I don't think this is a fire emloum because it 2436 01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,880 did not look like a fire emblem. Design of a 2437 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:25,479 character looked kind of different. I was like, Oh, is 2438 01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:27,680 this Zeno plate or something. And then obviously pretty soon 2439 01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,319 after that, I was like, Okay, this is fire emblem. 2440 01:43:29,319 --> 01:43:30,760 But it threw me off a bit. So the art 2441 01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,720 style here obviously, as we've mentioned, like the theming fits, 2442 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:35,840 but it is kind of different in terms of like 2443 01:43:36,279 --> 01:43:39,560 just the more strictly Roman esthetic here. Obviously we've seen 2444 01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:41,760 a kind of similarities to that before. But I think 2445 01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:44,359 it's cool that they're going in on that. I like it. 2446 01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:47,560 Speaker 3: Some of the new things that I caught in here, 2447 01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:50,399 some new classes. One of them that we see from. 2448 01:43:50,279 --> 01:43:52,399 Speaker 1: I think the protagonist or one of who knows, this 2449 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:53,840 might be a multi rode game. We'll talk about that 2450 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,760 in a second. Is the class is called a flying 2451 01:43:57,119 --> 01:44:00,920 or theist rider, which essentially is like the ostridge looking thing, yeah, 2452 01:44:01,039 --> 01:44:04,119 that he was on, And so at first I wondered if, like, oh, 2453 01:44:04,239 --> 01:44:06,560 is this is like a rider like a type of class, 2454 01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:08,600 and you're just like you can choose a horse, you 2455 01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:11,319 can choose this ortheus, you can choose other things. But 2456 01:44:11,319 --> 01:44:13,199 it's like, no, this seems like it is a distinctly 2457 01:44:13,199 --> 01:44:15,680 different class. I don't know if we saw like strictly 2458 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,560 someone on a horseback. I'm sure we did, but that 2459 01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:21,880 seems interesting. That's something a bit different. And they called 2460 01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:23,399 it flying too, so I don't know if that's like 2461 01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:25,399 kind of like a pegasus. Maybe this is in place 2462 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,079 of a pegasus, because I don't think three houses had 2463 01:44:29,119 --> 01:44:33,479 pegasus had to have it, right, had pegasus and and dragons. Yeah, 2464 01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:35,880 so this is something kind of different. But I don't 2465 01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:37,560 know if they actually fly or if they just are 2466 01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,039 called that because it's like a bird like Ostrich type thing. 2467 01:44:40,119 --> 01:44:42,560 So yeah, curious to see what that is. There's also 2468 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:46,079 the chariot tears obviously very Roman as well, but I 2469 01:44:46,079 --> 01:44:48,159 really like that because that's kind of something fresh and different, 2470 01:44:48,239 --> 01:44:50,159 And we also saw kind of more in the cuttinge 2471 01:44:50,159 --> 01:44:52,720 but not necessarily in the gameplay of like other siege weapons, 2472 01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:54,560 which are always a big part of these series. But 2473 01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:57,039 I just think that idea of like large scale battles 2474 01:44:57,119 --> 01:44:59,439 maybe setting up the arena with like you know, thinking 2475 01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:01,680 back to Glass. We did that retrospective and then saw 2476 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:03,960 the new one of like, oh, what kind of crazy 2477 01:45:04,359 --> 01:45:06,680 big set pieces narratives are they going to try and 2478 01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:09,720 set up for like this battle, that battle. So excited 2479 01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,239 to see what that stuff looks like. And then the 2480 01:45:12,239 --> 01:45:15,399 other new class that I caught here was a class 2481 01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:17,760 called the Hunter, which apparently has been in a couple 2482 01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:19,359 of Firearm Them games before and another the ones that 2483 01:45:19,359 --> 01:45:21,439 I've played, so like definitely way back to the OG 2484 01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:24,520 kind of Japan only games. And it appears to be 2485 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:28,279 like an archer maybe hybrid with like archer who can 2486 01:45:28,319 --> 01:45:32,000 do like close range melee attacks and like the higher strength. 2487 01:45:32,279 --> 01:45:34,760 So that's kind of different, right, Like obviously you could 2488 01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:36,920 have like Bo's that had like one range, but normally 2489 01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,000 that's like the limitation of them as a character. So 2490 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:41,960 I'm curious to see what the Hunter class is all about. 2491 01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,319 So yeah, three new classes. It was cool, and I'm 2492 01:45:44,319 --> 01:45:46,119 sure there might be a couple more than that in there, 2493 01:45:46,159 --> 01:45:49,279 and obviously what these evolve into or evolve from to 2494 01:45:49,279 --> 01:45:52,439 get to that point, So count me intrigued by that. 2495 01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:53,640 I like that idea. 2496 01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really excited about what that possibility could be because 2497 01:45:58,399 --> 01:46:02,319 with the Hunter, like the famous uh downside of the 2498 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:04,520 Archers if their mainly range, like. 2499 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:08,479 Speaker 3: They're just completely useless. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 2500 01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:10,920 Speaker 2: I I dabbled a little bit with the Archers like 2501 01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:13,439 in Three Houses, just because like the limited roster kind 2502 01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:16,560 of gives you at the start of the game, but 2503 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,840 like to have like kind of a hybrid potential, like 2504 01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:23,359 with with someone that can do melee, that that's pretty cool. 2505 01:46:23,399 --> 01:46:26,520 But for the Chariots, man, I'm I'm so excited to 2506 01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:30,359 see what that could be because chariots are arguably one 2507 01:46:30,399 --> 01:46:33,119 of the strongest and yet hardest like unit to control 2508 01:46:33,159 --> 01:46:36,279 in Total World Warhammer because they like they're all involved 2509 01:46:36,319 --> 01:46:38,279 in like flanking and like they got to be moving 2510 01:46:38,399 --> 01:46:40,000 all the time because if they're just standing still, like 2511 01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:42,119 they're just so useless and they die like instantly. But 2512 01:46:42,239 --> 01:46:45,239 like man a chariot coming into like flank someone like 2513 01:46:45,359 --> 01:46:48,800 that is so crushing. Uh, And like in a tactics game, 2514 01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:52,079 I don't really know how that would play because like, 2515 01:46:52,079 --> 01:46:53,840 like for my chariots, I want to run them through 2516 01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,079 a unit, but like can you do that now in attack? 2517 01:46:56,199 --> 01:46:58,960 Speaker 3: Like maybe I guess that that would be how are 2518 01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,000 they going through tree or water or whatever? 2519 01:47:01,199 --> 01:47:04,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly all that stuff. So it's just cool 2520 01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:08,720 to see new unit types and the new rider fly 2521 01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,840 or whatever it is look cool. But because it just 2522 01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,199 reminded me of something I'd seen before, it didn't didn't 2523 01:47:14,239 --> 01:47:15,840 get me as excited as these other new ones. 2524 01:47:16,319 --> 01:47:20,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the uh yeah, it's funny how that reminds 2525 01:47:20,079 --> 01:47:21,960 you of Warhammer? Is it? To me? It just made 2526 01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,760 me think of Sieve and like thinking with the limitations 2527 01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:27,239 of their movement as well over like certain terrain things. 2528 01:47:27,239 --> 01:47:30,159 So yeah, I'm curious to see how they relate that 2529 01:47:30,239 --> 01:47:33,600 kind of gameplay to attactics thing, because we've seen that before, 2530 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,199 like different units are you know, better in certain terrain 2531 01:47:36,399 --> 01:47:39,520 or worse than certain terrain, So curiously what that looks like. 2532 01:47:40,239 --> 01:47:43,079 As for the other combat stuff, like we have attacks, 2533 01:47:43,159 --> 01:47:45,520 combat arts, gambits, those are off from three houses. The 2534 01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:48,000 new one that I caught here is one called blaze Arts, 2535 01:47:48,319 --> 01:47:50,319 which it seems like for all the blaze arts you 2536 01:47:50,399 --> 01:47:54,600 have to sacrifice HP to use this ability. So the 2537 01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:57,199 ones she showed in the trailer, or they showed her 2538 01:47:57,279 --> 01:48:01,760 using the trailer, was she summoned a beast by sacrificing 2539 01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:03,520 like I don't know, eight HP or something like that. 2540 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:05,920 The other ones it said was the song and they 2541 01:48:06,159 --> 01:48:08,399 is contextualized as a song as the song to some 2542 01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,880 and beast. There's also the song of madness, song of passion, 2543 01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,880 song of ice water, song of abjuring. So some of 2544 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:18,079 these are straightforward, but like madness passion, I'm not like, 2545 01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,199 is that charm? Is that making someone attack their teammates? 2546 01:48:21,239 --> 01:48:23,680 I'm not sure, But I like the idea that's like 2547 01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,159 a new interesting tactical thing of sacrificing HP in. 2548 01:48:27,119 --> 01:48:29,520 Speaker 3: Order to use a stronger ability. I think it is 2549 01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:30,039 really cool. 2550 01:48:30,279 --> 01:48:32,279 Speaker 1: And mixing that with gambits and common arts, like you're 2551 01:48:32,279 --> 01:48:35,199 gonna have a lot of options on a turn analysis 2552 01:48:35,239 --> 01:48:38,199 paralysis is probably sure to hear, but I think it's 2553 01:48:38,239 --> 01:48:40,439 a really cool idea. I think that's a fun new feature. 2554 01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:44,439 We talked about the older saw this thing, we'll see 2555 01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:47,239 how that connects to Three Houses. And then related to that, 2556 01:48:47,279 --> 01:48:49,319 I was gonna ask, like, do you think that this 2557 01:48:49,359 --> 01:48:52,359 game is gonna have a multi route format in the 2558 01:48:52,359 --> 01:48:54,880 way that Three Houses did, Like you could easily see 2559 01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,840 that being like, oh, the different houses, different kingdoms that 2560 01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:00,840 like go and fight in this colosseum. Uh so I 2561 01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:02,359 could see it be in the case, but yeah, what 2562 01:49:02,399 --> 01:49:03,680 do you what do you think they'll do here? 2563 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like that's been I mean I can't 2564 01:49:07,319 --> 01:49:09,319 really speak for Engage because I didn't play that one. 2565 01:49:09,319 --> 01:49:11,399 Speaker 1: I think that was a one route situation. 2566 01:49:11,319 --> 01:49:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, which is very like different than it's been in 2567 01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:20,079 the last many games, right, Like I guess Awaking that 2568 01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:21,439 was you have like. 2569 01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:25,560 Speaker 1: Side quests, I guess, and like the what were they called, 2570 01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:28,079 like where you could get the children characters at pro. 2571 01:49:28,279 --> 01:49:30,520 Speaker 3: Ye like name right, it's like a yeah, I can't 2572 01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:31,199 remember what it was. 2573 01:49:31,159 --> 01:49:33,800 Speaker 1: But it was a one route situation. 2574 01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:34,720 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you're just falling. 2575 01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:37,079 Speaker 1: And then with Fates obviously they had like the three 2576 01:49:37,159 --> 01:49:39,840 games kind of like Pokemon style with the different routes, 2577 01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:43,239 and then before that Path of Radiance Radiant Down those 2578 01:49:43,239 --> 01:49:46,600 were single path Sacred Stones has like you split for 2579 01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,920 like four four mission paths and then it kind of 2580 01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:52,039 comes back in the end. So they always kind of dabble, 2581 01:49:52,079 --> 01:49:53,720 and I think that's what's interesting about fire Emblam is 2582 01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:55,800 like they have a big toolbox and they kind of 2583 01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,960 for each game, they kind of bring certain tools out 2584 01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:01,279 and put some back in the box. And so I 2585 01:50:01,359 --> 01:50:03,479 just for the sake of like time, I like a 2586 01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:06,600 one route situation, but with three houses, I definitely I 2587 01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:09,159 did two play throughs at least, and I think there's 2588 01:50:09,199 --> 01:50:11,439 four overall, right, three houses, plus like one of the 2589 01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:13,159 houses has like two variations, right. 2590 01:50:13,039 --> 01:50:16,439 Speaker 3: M M, yeah, I would be interested. 2591 01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:18,439 Speaker 2: I think what's shown in the trailer, it seems like 2592 01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:23,199 there's what appears to be not necessarily like main characters, 2593 01:50:23,239 --> 01:50:26,840 but like main players in the story, and they're talking 2594 01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:28,960 and they seem to be clashing. So that's just like 2595 01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,279 a classic setup of like here's your two heads of 2596 01:50:31,319 --> 01:50:34,399 whatever factions like going going against each other. So that's 2597 01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:37,439 just the vibe I got from that. I'm I am curious. 2598 01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:43,279 I think I like the idea of multiple route games 2599 01:50:43,319 --> 01:50:45,640 for the fire Emblems, but because I'm always like, oh yeah, 2600 01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:47,359 I'll do this, and then I'll eventually get through, but 2601 01:50:47,399 --> 01:50:49,159 it's like, man, these games are so long, Like I 2602 01:50:49,159 --> 01:50:53,039 can't even get through one play through, let alone multiple 2603 01:50:53,119 --> 01:50:55,560 different ones. But it's there, you know, if I eventually 2604 01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:58,600 want to go through. So I'm kind of indifferent. I 2605 01:50:58,600 --> 01:51:01,680 guess on it for me personally, but I do like 2606 01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:05,680 the idea of just having multiple roots. But I mean 2607 01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:07,520 it's also just a lot harder, I guess of a 2608 01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,239 game to make that way some movie you just focus 2609 01:51:09,319 --> 01:51:10,520 on a more linear story. 2610 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious to see what they do based on 2611 01:51:14,239 --> 01:51:16,199 the format and that it's the Three Houses team and 2612 01:51:16,319 --> 01:51:18,920 people love Three Houses. I assume they're gonna do the 2613 01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,680 multi route thing again, and I think it just fits 2614 01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,680 with the theming of this, so we will keep an 2615 01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:28,399 eye on that. Any other thoughts on Fortune's Weave, I'm 2616 01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,680 so much more info to be gained for this one, 2617 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:35,880 but yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I don't know. 2618 01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:38,239 Speaker 3: I like it's tricky because Three Houses. 2619 01:51:38,239 --> 01:51:40,800 Speaker 1: I love the story and the characters, but I think 2620 01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:44,960 the gameplay isn't that interesting. Engage maybe had some more 2621 01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:46,880 interesting gameplay, but also had a ton of balance issues 2622 01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:48,800 and the story kind of sucks, so you never really 2623 01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:50,520 know what you're gonna get with Fire emblem, and I 2624 01:51:51,399 --> 01:51:53,399 like focusing on the story, but I also want the 2625 01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:55,720 tactics to be good, especially in today's age where like 2626 01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:57,920 there's so many good tactics games come out every year. 2627 01:51:57,960 --> 01:51:59,880 I just find myself getting a little bored with fire 2628 01:52:00,199 --> 01:52:01,159 gameplay these days. 2629 01:52:02,159 --> 01:52:03,479 Speaker 3: So hopefully this game can be. 2630 01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:07,000 Speaker 1: A nice amalgam of the two and isn't isn't faltering 2631 01:52:07,039 --> 01:52:08,199 in either way? 2632 01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:09,199 Speaker 3: Yeah? 2633 01:52:09,239 --> 01:52:13,159 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, So that's everything for the direct, just I 2634 01:52:13,159 --> 01:52:15,000 guess quickly laying out the runway a little bit, so 2635 01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:18,279 you know, later this month Hades two. I think that's 2636 01:52:18,279 --> 01:52:20,319 a big get, as I mentioned, because it's a console exclusive. 2637 01:52:20,319 --> 01:52:23,159 But then in October they have Pokemon Za, November Highroad 2638 01:52:23,199 --> 01:52:26,720 Warriors in Kirby, and December Metroids, Like pretty solid second 2639 01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:29,000 half of the year or not second half, but you know, 2640 01:52:29,039 --> 01:52:30,720 closing out the fall winter season. 2641 01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:30,920 Speaker 3: Here. 2642 01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,199 Speaker 1: Of course, there's other little things in odds and Ensbet's 2643 01:52:33,239 --> 01:52:35,760 kind of the big Nintendo ones and the next year 2644 01:52:36,359 --> 01:52:40,560 Mario Fever or Mario Tennis Fever, the Mario movie, Fire 2645 01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:43,640 earmblun Fortunes, we Fatal Frame two remake, the New Yoshi game, 2646 01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:46,520 the new Pokemon Pacopia, Like, that's a pretty good twenty 2647 01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:48,520 twenty six already that we're set up for there. I'm 2648 01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:50,119 sure we'll obviously have a bunch of other things that 2649 01:52:50,159 --> 01:52:53,920 fill in the gaps. Tom Daughcy Life in There, Rhythm Heaven, right, 2650 01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:57,239 So there's pretty solid roster of things. I think they're 2651 01:52:57,239 --> 01:52:58,800 set up for a pretty good a couple of years here. 2652 01:53:00,319 --> 01:53:01,479 The only thing is that I thought were kind of 2653 01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:05,399 missing Splatoon Raiders as I talked about that game that 2654 01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:07,279 was announced on Nintendo today. I'm kind of surprised we 2655 01:53:07,279 --> 01:53:09,159 didn't actually get like a big trailer for it here. 2656 01:53:10,399 --> 01:53:12,319 So curious to see what that game is because obviously 2657 01:53:12,319 --> 01:53:15,279 it's like appears to be a spinoff of some sort. 2658 01:53:16,279 --> 01:53:18,560 It's not a name Splatoon title, So we'll see what 2659 01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,920 happens there. And then the big omission for me that 2660 01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:22,920 I was bummed about is Mario Kart World I was 2661 01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:25,800 really hoping for. I've been kind of pitching this idea 2662 01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:28,560 of like, ooh, Donkey Kong Bonanza, do a nice pairing there. 2663 01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:30,800 Do a little Bonanza DLC where you get like three 2664 01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:32,800 or four characters from Bonanza, maybe one or two new 2665 01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:34,640 courses or I don't know how they fit them into 2666 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:36,680 the open world, right, but like maybe a little Donkey 2667 01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:40,600 Kong Island, you know, as they announced in this showcase today, 2668 01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:43,119 But we got nothing here. And it makes me curious 2669 01:53:43,279 --> 01:53:46,920 if they are gonna do DLC for that game at 2670 01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,800 all or now, right because obviously we talk about all 2671 01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,359 the DLC they came from Ori Credit eight, but technically 2672 01:53:52,359 --> 01:53:55,640 that DLC came like six or seven years after that 2673 01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:57,640 game came out, right, It was almost like a boon 2674 01:53:57,720 --> 01:53:59,119 in the end of it, and then that game ended 2675 01:53:59,199 --> 01:54:01,680 up selling crazy and they went ham on it. But 2676 01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:04,199 like they might not do anything for a world. I 2677 01:54:04,279 --> 01:54:06,079 guess I was just surprised to not see anything for 2678 01:54:06,119 --> 01:54:08,760 it here. But maybe, as I mentioned with dot Com Bananza, 2679 01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:11,439 it seems like that game like it's kind of fake DLC, 2680 01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:13,439 like that game has done a long time ago. Maybe 2681 01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:16,319 Mario Kart World, that's not the case. Maybe that did 2682 01:54:16,399 --> 01:54:18,119 kind of come in more closer to the buzzer here 2683 01:54:18,159 --> 01:54:19,800 on the Switch too, So maybe they just need more time. 2684 01:54:20,159 --> 01:54:21,720 Speaker 3: I really do want to get some PLC, I'd lie. 2685 01:54:21,720 --> 01:54:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't want them to be able to I don't 2686 01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:24,199 want it to be a live service game, but I 2687 01:54:24,199 --> 01:54:27,079 definitely think that we need a little bit more going 2688 01:54:27,119 --> 01:54:29,840 on there, some more features, some new maps, some new characters. 2689 01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:32,079 I think there's a lot of potential there, and so 2690 01:54:32,079 --> 01:54:34,399 I hope we get that. But obviously you're not a 2691 01:54:34,439 --> 01:54:36,479 switch to owner right now. But anything that was missing 2692 01:54:36,479 --> 01:54:39,159 to you or any final thoughts on this direct overall. 2693 01:54:42,720 --> 01:54:44,279 Speaker 2: I think the only thing that was missing is like 2694 01:54:44,560 --> 01:54:47,640 one title that like, okay, I have to get a 2695 01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:51,279 switch to now, which like man, like, maybe maybe more 2696 01:54:51,319 --> 01:54:54,199 info on fire Loom could have got me there. This 2697 01:54:54,279 --> 01:54:56,960 is like the first kind of appearance there. But yeah, 2698 01:54:57,199 --> 01:55:00,600 it doesn't seem like the uh the birds baked yet 2699 01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:03,920 for me on the on the switch to Plunge. But 2700 01:55:04,159 --> 01:55:06,359 I'm excited to eventually get that console, Shane. I will 2701 01:55:06,359 --> 01:55:08,640 be eventually getting that console. But it's also maybe a 2702 01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:10,079 good idea that hasn't happened right now because I got 2703 01:55:10,119 --> 01:55:12,840 a lot of expensive stuff coming up, so I could 2704 01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:14,840 use the little delay there. 2705 01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:17,359 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know. Overall, I think it was okay. 2706 01:55:17,520 --> 01:55:18,239 I think the more we. 2707 01:55:18,199 --> 01:55:22,840 Speaker 2: Broke down the direct, it definitely seemed better in hindsight. Now, 2708 01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:24,680 just some of the titles that we're a little bit 2709 01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:25,439 more intriguing in there. 2710 01:55:25,479 --> 01:55:28,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think if there's any like actual point 2711 01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:31,840 of disappoint for me, it is the Mario fortieth stuff 2712 01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:34,439 where it's like, okay, the Mario movie is the biggest 2713 01:55:34,439 --> 01:55:37,359 thing we're getting for Mario Forty's a bit disappointing. Galaxy 2714 01:55:37,439 --> 01:55:39,439 went to that, that's fine, but I already owned those games. 2715 01:55:40,239 --> 01:55:43,479 Yoshi doesn't look like it's my cup of tea. Mario 2716 01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:45,840 fevers like you know, Mario turnas Fever's okay, But like, 2717 01:55:46,399 --> 01:55:48,079 I think that was the point of this point for me, 2718 01:55:48,199 --> 01:55:50,439 is like Mario fortieth was a bit of the bummer, 2719 01:55:50,439 --> 01:55:52,720 and then the other stuff. I actually brought some spice 2720 01:55:52,760 --> 01:55:56,239 and some tea, so that was overall totally solid in 2721 01:55:56,279 --> 01:55:59,239 the end. Yeah, that's gonna be it for this episode. 2722 01:55:59,279 --> 01:56:01,520 Thank you everyone for listening. Of course, we will be 2723 01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:04,800 back next week for more video game goodness. Kirkland, thank 2724 01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:06,720 you for joining me, and we will see you all 2725 01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:07,520 next time. 2726 01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,479 Speaker 3: Bye bye bye,
