And it's like, oh, okay, 370 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.000 so they're going to kind of do what they did 371 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.519 with the PS four Pro, but on the side instead 372 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.559 of like for the whatever. 373 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.120 It just yeah, that's what it looks like. 374 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.200 And now this artwork inside of the PS PlayStation thirtieth 375 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.360 anniversary logo looks exactly the same, and people are like, well, 376 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.360 what else could this possibly be, And. 377 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.120 The answer is that's almost certainly the PS five Pro. 378 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.840 Yeah, probably it probably does look like that. I would. 379 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.399 The thing about it that that interests me is it 380 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.240 looks just straight flat and like it just looks like 381 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.480 a square yeah, or a rectangle as opposed to like 382 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.080 the weird wobbly thing, yeah, which I have. I have 383 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.000 no real issue other than I thought about taking my 384 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.600 PlayStation with me to on my travels recently in case 385 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.679 astrobot came in so it could play it, which I 386 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.279 just said. Took a PlayStation port was one of the 387 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:51.440 biggest mistakes in my life. 388 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:51.759 Yep. 389 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.000 It's lugged that thing around the world for no useless 390 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.360 It was useless. 391 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.759 So I just bought a new round. I bought it. 392 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:02.320 I think the last time we talked about when you 393 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:03.840 were buying a router and I got just bought and 394 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:05.759 I was so happy with it. Now I hate this 395 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.519 fucking thing. I'm gonna be like one of those people 396 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.000 that buys a new router every six months. 397 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.599 Told you hate the route, the poll I I hate. 398 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.880 I'm my router. I haven't. 399 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.720 I haven't really used the portal, but I used the 400 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.599 Chiocky for deck on the steam deck and it was 401 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.480 working fine on Wi Fi six E for a little bit. 402 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:25.200 And now that sixty signal just never is reliable anymore. 403 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.359 It's driving me crazy. So yeah, I honestly I should 404 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.039 go get like an industrial router. Because we have a 405 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.200 lot of advice. Yet if it's just overwhelming the network, 406 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:34.680 I don't. 407 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.480 I got one of those routes that sounds like is 408 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:43.000 named after a crime credit or something like that. All right, uh, 409 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.920 I know, I got the asis r T A x 410 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.000 A eight U pro. 411 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.799 Okay, I got the I have the ass r RT 412 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:53.839 ax C seventy eight hundred or something like that, and 413 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.960 then I I must have bought it before really doing 414 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.160 enough research. The reviews for that thing are not good. 415 00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:59.839 So that's why I'm like, all right, I'm gonna buy 416 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.400 a new one. 417 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.720 Yeah, the one that I got is really good. I 418 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.200 actually have two of them, and I used like the 419 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.519 other one to create a mesh network, which, let me 420 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.759 tell you this does not fucking work. 421 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.799 But yeah, it has a mesh network ever worked for anybody, 422 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.240 because I did the Google one. 423 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:23.319 And it does work in that in the areas that 424 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.359 I had really lose, like signal, I have much higher signal. 425 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.160 But it also feels a little more unreliable. 426 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.359 Yeah, it feels like yeah, like it becomes like things 427 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.240 just when they don't get now it's like, yeah, is 428 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.680 it breaking? 429 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.119 Well, I'm saying is sometimes when I'm shitting on the toilet, 430 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:39.880 my video starts to load, and you know what, that's 431 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:40.599 not what I want. 432 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:41.599 Not acceptable? Is that? 433 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.640 Yeah, that we're trying to avoid that wherever possible. I 434 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:45.480 don't want to think about the fact that I'm pooping, 435 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:46.240 and I. 436 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.680 Want to be able to watch my video in Tenna 437 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.759 ep while I dropped the kids off at the pool. 438 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.119 Exactly, what's drop Jimmy Olsen off at the thunder arena, 439 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.680 as we say in the Blake Club parlance. 440 00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:58.640 Exactly? 441 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.400 Yeah, all right, that looks like the PS five pro 442 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.839 this thing, if it's in the thirtieth anniversary stuff, it 443 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.160 feels like a little bit of a suggestion of a. 444 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.240 Confirmation that this thing's gonna get it nownce soon. 445 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.079 We've heard it could happen before Tokyo Game Show, so 446 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.279 that means between today and the end of the month, 447 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.680 and really it kind of means next week. If this 448 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.480 is gonna happen, that sounds pretty pretty reasonable to me. 449 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.960 Your gama hasn't like a leaked PS five pro design 450 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:32.480 story by Matt Wales, And in that I think it's 451 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:39.880 showing the original, the older piece of art that surface 452 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.680 and that still has the weird callers up design right, 453 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.519 And I wonder how fundamental to the airflow that design is, 454 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.799 because if they are doing a PS five PRO, I 455 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.240 would like them to take a different approach to design. 456 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.559 The one that we've seen now or the one that 457 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.559 we've seen now in the background of the thirtieth anniversary 458 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.440 are just looks like a straight up square, which I 459 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.680 guess they're always to like indicate the kind of weird 460 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.039 like shape on a side on profile. But it doesn't 461 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.359 do that. So I'm I'm secretly hoping that they figured 462 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.440 out a way to like just make it flat. 463 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.119 My expectation is they wanted to do more in terms 464 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.200 of changing the design language of the PS five Pro. 465 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.240 But when they when they suggested that idea, Mark Serney 466 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:22.839 threatened to quit and burn the place down. 467 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.599 He's like absolutely came in with a gun, and the 468 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:30.119 gun the dollars. Well, it's a PlayStation thy fin of it? Ready? Gun? 469 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:30.480 Right? 470 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.359 So what's the fucking thing called the PlayStation aim controller? 471 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:38.559 Yeah? Yeah, just Mark, please calm down, put it down, bud. 472 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.640 Uh Yeah, I uh, it's probably gonna look a lot 473 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.160 like a PS five slim uh. You know, if that is, 474 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:45.599 if that thing's even actually called the swim. I think 475 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.640 it's just called the PS five and uh and it 476 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.599 will just have more lines on the side. That's probably 477 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:52.920 what's gonna be. So yeah, a little disappointed for someone 478 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:54.519 like I'm with you. I don't have a lot of 479 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.519 problems the way the PS five looks overall. I just 480 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.400 wish more slim looks looks great, but I also want 481 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.279 to get excited and have other reasons to justify purchasing 482 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:05.680 this thing, and if it looked at me even more 483 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.039 different that would help with that. I think we probably 484 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.799 get to the end of next week and this thing 485 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.960 gets announced, That's where I'm like putting my money. 486 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.200 I don't know, but that seems to be with the 487 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.119 way the wind is blowing. 488 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.880 Yeah late as tgs. 489 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.039 Yes, right, that sounds exactly right. 490 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.920 But I don't think. I don't think Sony would like 491 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.319 have such a narrow focused event be the place where 492 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.680 they show off there or reveal their brand new, grobberly 493 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.359 available piece of hardware. 494 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:33.799 Right, Tokyo Game Show seems like the place where it's like, 495 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.960 once something is announced, you have meetings and updates about it, 496 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:39.720 but it's maybe maybe not the place to do the 497 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.440 initial reveal. 498 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.400 Maybe you announce it before Kajima shows off Death Stranding too, 499 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.119 and it's like, well, look what this thing can do, 500 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.799 and it's just an even higher polygon version of Sam Norman. 501 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.480 Readers, we do have that picture of Hideo Kajima recently 502 00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.240 like posting himself playing something on a PlayStation and he 503 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.680 has a black tarp over what looks like that big 504 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.000 U shaped PlayStation pro box that's been rumored to be 505 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.400 out there for a while. Uh so, yeah, he's he's 506 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.519 been working on the PS five Pro. It seems like, so, yeah, 507 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.759 I would expect him to be a marquee game that 508 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.799 that shows off what that. 509 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.200 Thing can do. 510 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.880 I was like, anecdotally, I got a lot of folks, 511 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:21.880 like not folks, but like a lot of the games 512 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.839 that I saw Games Come with like running a bit weird, 513 00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:28.359 and I was like, have we reached here this quickly? Yep, 514 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.319 that's very strange. So it feels like the right time 515 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:34.640 for like a revision, a hardware revision to come, right, 516 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:36.519 that's a little more powerful. 517 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:36.680 And that's that. 518 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.559 That was also some of the reporting. Its like when 519 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.039 developers were talking to each other at Games Come, they 520 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.319 were openly talking about the PS five Pro. So that 521 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:46.839 says to me that everyone there is expecting this thing 522 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:49.400 to be here anytime now. And then, you know the 523 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:51.519 other side of the reporting is no Vembers when this 524 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:53.920 thing actually comes out, So you kind of can't wait 525 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:55.240 much longer to nsin. 526 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.799 No shop for the old one new one available for Christmas? 527 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.960 Well, yeah, how much of a price drop do you think, though? 528 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.519 I think it's going to be like a minuscule price. 529 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:10.599 PROP five dollars cheap of good job. Yeah, Uh, fifty 530 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.640 dollars is probably the max. 531 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.000 You know what we got this next story here. 532 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:16.519 They keep it at the same price and like packing 533 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.720 more stuff, like, oh, it's got a Proba on it, 534 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:23.559 it's got all the uncharted not it's got Lost of 535 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:24.200 Us on the. 536 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:26.720 Right, the last it's there's a Last of Us bundle, 537 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:28.759 and there's a Horizon bundle and it. 538 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.000 Has all of those games. And yeah, I think that's 539 00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:31.640 very likely. 540 00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:34.440 Uh, speaking of price, next story PS five pro could 541 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.000 be six hundred and fifty dollars. An analyst says this 542 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.079 is This is from Eddie mcowitt game spot. A new, 543 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.599 more powerful, powerful version of the PS five is reportedly 544 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.039 primed for announcement soon, and while the rumor PS five 545 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.440 Pro system has been officially confirmed. Video game industry analysts 546 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.039 are weighing in with their thoughts about it. Thirk In 547 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:54.960 Toto of Canton Games told ig In that there is 548 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.319 no doubt that a PS five Pro is on the way. 549 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.000 What form it takes, what upgrades it might offer over 550 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.519 the existing PS five remains a mystery. But it will 551 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.400 be more expensive than the PS five, the analyst noted. 552 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.920 Toto said the PS five Pro is likely to cost 553 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.519 six hundred or six hundred and fifty dollars when it's released, 554 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.880 and that the existing PS five, which costs five hundred dollars, 555 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.480 will not receive a price cut. Michael Wagner of New 556 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.799 Zoo said historically history suggests that the PS five will 557 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:22.160 receive a price cut when the PS five Pro launches, 558 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.920 citing the precedent of the PS four getting a price 559 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.200 cut when the PS four Pro came out. Daniel A 560 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.960 mod of Nico Partners said this generation isn't the same 561 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.400 as past ones, in part because production and shipping costs 562 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.119 are not declining like they did with previous generations. Yeah, 563 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.359 all that stuff remains very high, and also I just 564 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.319 think the people showing up to buy these things are 565 00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.160 the least price sensitive customers because they're the biggest fans 566 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.880 and this is their primary source of their primary hobby, 567 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.319 their primary source of entertainment. 568 00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.920 They're the ones who could charge the most. 569 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:55.640 So yeah, I think I tend to still agree with you, 570 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.279 Tam that while maybe the price doesn't go down, they 571 00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.039 find ways to increase the perceived you by bundling and 572 00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:03.759 more stuff this holiday that feels right to me, and 573 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.000 then that helps them tell the story of and then 574 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.039 if you want all the new bells and whistles, forty 575 00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.000 five percent improved rasterization performance and twice the performance for 576 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.839 rad tracing all that stuff, well, boy, do we have 577 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.079 the box for you. And the people that care about 578 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.000 that stuff are the people that will spend six hundred 579 00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:22.440 fifty dollars or they'll trade in their oldps for five 580 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.359 and save a little bit and spend three hundred and 581 00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:26.720 fifty dollars on this. That sounds like that's how it's 582 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:27.039 going to go. 583 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.880 Yeah, I feel like the value proposition changing is where 584 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.240 it's uh, especially given everything that people are saying about 585 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:40.680 cost of the stuff. Excuse me, yeah, no problem. Yeah, Yeah, 586 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.880 I feel like there's a good chance. I wonder if 587 00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.839 they like do bundles with the slim one as well, yeah, 588 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.000 or if it's just the dog unit that I guess. 589 00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:54.880 I guess they do, do they they still sell the 590 00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.880 original PS five I haven't paid attention. 591 00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:00.240 I think they do. I have seen it in few 592 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.880 places still, And I assume stye, because they did a 593 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.640 revision of the original model, which was in the same 594 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.400 kind of like form factor, right, right, So maybe I 595 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:13.440 assume that's the one that's being sold. 596 00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:18.319 Right, So yeah, right, But I'm yeah, they could have 597 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.000 like step pricing for all these various models or whatever, 598 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.039 and they could introduce an original PS five slim model 599 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:27.880 with more storage, right, and that could be five fifty, 600 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.640 or that could even be six hundred if they put 601 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.960 like two terabytes of storage in it. 602 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.960 And then that makes it very easy to say, well, 603 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.839 then the PS five pro is six fifty or even 604 00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:36.519 seven hundred. 605 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.720 I mean, we'll see, this thing could be very expensive 606 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.799 when it comes out. 607 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:40.799 All right. 608 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.680 I think what we'll do now is we'll take a 609 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:44.759 quick break. When we get back, plenty more news kind 610 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.000 of a victory lap for Astro bought up next right 611 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:54.240 after this. All right, let's get right back into it. 612 00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.160 Astrobot is the best reviewed. 613 00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.680 Game of the year so far. This is from Darren 614 00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:59.599 bond Dus at GameSpot. 615 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.559 Between New Warhammer, forty K, Harry Potter and soccer simulator game. 616 00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:04.799 September is shaping up to be a packed month on 617 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.079 the gaming calendar, but the best reviewed game of the 618 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.359 month and the year thus far has just launched in 619 00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:12.319 the form of Astrobot, a new adventure starring Sony's adorable 620 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.000 mechanical I'm at Mascot. 621 00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.359 Astrobot has been a critical smash hit. 622 00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:18.319 As numerous reviews have praised it for being an exciting 623 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.119 platformer that is a joy to play and uses the dual. 624 00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:22.960 Sense controller to create immersive gameplay. 625 00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.839 Has a ninety four on Metacritic, which makes it the 626 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.000 best like standalone game. I think Shadow of the Tree 627 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.839 is higher, but that's DLC. But other than outside of 628 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.640 Shadow of the r Tree, there is no better reviewed 629 00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.440 game released this year than Astrobot, and I think we 630 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.599 see there have not been many games in the nineties 631 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:43.480 on Metacritic this entire year. It's very hard to get 632 00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.160 in the nineties, let alone all the way up to 633 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:50.039 ninety four if you sort by genre. And on Metacritic, 634 00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:52.640 and you go to platformers, I think you can think 635 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.079 you can be doing it by three D platformers. I 636 00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.960 think it's right now it's Mario Galaxy one at A 637 00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:00.000 ninety seven, the Moro Galaxy two at A ninety six, 638 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.519 and then Mario Odyssey three at A ninety seven. Then 639 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:07.240 the fourth best reviewed platformer of all time is now Astrobot. 640 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.559 That while that is the conversation that game is entered into. Uh, 641 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.839 and I mean, I think it's earned it. I really 642 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.119 really love this game, tam. Do you think that this 643 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.039 thing is on the precipice of being able to break 644 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.519 through to an audience beyond maybe what even Sony was expecting. 645 00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:29.880 I think so, I don't. I'm actually familiar not Yeah, 646 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:34.200 I'm not super aware of how much an Astrobot has 647 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.079 pushed into the rate conscious. 648 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.480 Astro's playroom came with every PS five. But did people 649 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.200 E didn't realize. 650 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.200 Yeah, that's the thing where it's like Astro astro is 651 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.480 like something that we definitely took too. But we're like 652 00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:53.400 gaming widows, and it's unclear whether people who are just 653 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:57.200 like normal gaming widows are like, yeah, this is great. 654 00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:59.799 I'm obsessed with this little robot thing now, or if 655 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.279 it's it's like, oh that was nice, moving on, where's 656 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:06.400 my call of duty? But I do feel like Astro 657 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.039 has that potential can that can be pushed into like 658 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.720 the mainstream or like pushed into the wider consciousness right now, 659 00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:17.599 and I feel like it's going to continue to sell 660 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.759 really well. I think is the word of mouth is 661 00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:22.319 going to do a lot of good work for it, 662 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.160 especially as like we come into like the holiday period 663 00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.400 where there's potentially a new console available and a cheaper 664 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.960 version of the PlayStation five. The word of mouth of 665 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.160 people saying this Astro game is unreal. You've got to 666 00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:37.680 play this. If you're getting a PlayStation five, You've got 667 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.839 to have this for your kid, or for yourself, if 668 00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:43.319 you're you know, whatever age you are. It works for everyone. 669 00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.559 That's the genius of that game. It's like regard it 670 00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:48.240 doesn't matter how old you are. It's a joy to 671 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.480 play regardless. So I feel like it will definitely benefit 672 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:54.519 I think that by the end of the year or 673 00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:56.960 like early next year, when the financials are coming out, 674 00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:58.599 we're going to be surprised with how much of a 675 00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.839 leap that was between like release and like the holiday 676 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:04.480 period in terms of sales. 677 00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:09.759 Yep. I think you're right, and I think it's standing 678 00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:10.319 here right now. 679 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:13.079 I am finding it very easy to be optimistic about 680 00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:15.440 this game's outlook in terms of being able to just 681 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.200 win people over that give it a chance. And I 682 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.319 think every time someone looks at that that these reviews, 683 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.720 reads the reviews, reads the response on Twitter. I think 684 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.039 very soon, you know, starting today, really last night, people 685 00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:31.279 have begun playing it publicly and streaming it, and they're 686 00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:34.240 going to start sharing gameplay clips, and a lot of 687 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.079 those are going to take the form of oh my god, 688 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:37.720 I can't believe it, they believe they made a reference 689 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.480 to this character. 690 00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:40.079 But I think very quickly. 691 00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.880 It's going to turn into look how amazingly fun this is. 692 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.200 Look at this incredible moment. And I think that the 693 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:47.920 combination of those two sides of very shareable clips is 694 00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:49.319 going to be the kind of thing that people go, 695 00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:51.160 I need to experience. 696 00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.519 This for myself. 697 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.519 And you know, I don't know if that turns into 698 00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:57.880 a game that that is able to sell ten million copies, 699 00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:00.000 which I think is like a very very very high 700 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.880 eybar for it, but I do think it could easily 701 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.599 catch on and do like the seven eight nine million 702 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:10.680 if things really get going for it. And yeah, I 703 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:13.000 also think it'll have a long tail. I think it's 704 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.119 the kind of game where if you're picking up a 705 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.319 POS five, maybe it's the other game you get besides 706 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.559 you know, Spider Man, and then your flavor of game 707 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:24.440 that you always get, which is whether that's a sports 708 00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:27.000 game or a shooter or something like that. This is like, hey, 709 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:28.319 this is a good thing I'll get for this and 710 00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:30.799 me and my kids might play it. I think there's 711 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:32.519 a chance at pulse into that category, and I hope 712 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:37.880 it does. Yeah, all right, Nintendo may just launch a 713 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:40.440 new Switch O led bundle with Mario Wonder this month 714 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.839 instead of a instead of announcing the switch to This 715 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.440 is from Alie Reynolds at Nintendo Life. 716 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:46.160 Excuse me. 717 00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.839 With rumors of a Switch successor announcement ramping up, it's 718 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.559 worth keeping in mind that Nintendo still has lofty ambitions 719 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:55.039 when it comes to its current hardware. According to its 720 00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.160 most recent financial data, Nintendo is still aiming to shift 721 00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:00.640 thirteen million switched consoles before the end of the current 722 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.599 fiscal year. How will it achieve this, Well, we know 723 00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:05.960 a new special edition switch Light is on the way 724 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.640 to accompany the legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, but 725 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.960 according to deal Labs, which is known to provide reliable 726 00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.119 information on unannounced projects, Nintendo is also preparing a new 727 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:18.240 hardware bundle for the upcoming holiday season, currently slated for 728 00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.359 release in Europe. The bundle will consist of a Nintendo 729 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.160 Switch O led model console with a digital copy of 730 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:26.200 Super Mario Brothers Wonder and a three month subscription to 731 00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:29.640 Nintendo Switch Online priced at three hundred and fifty euros. 732 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:31.200 And this would. 733 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:36.039 Launch in October. Yes, basically launch a little bit later 734 00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:41.119 this year. Yeah, there's the chance that all this, like 735 00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.640 the rumors that have happened recently of hey, they've moved 736 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.960 things around because something's happening with the switch To. Maybe 737 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.319 there was some miscommunication there, And what we're actually just 738 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:54.039 going to get is another switch announcement in September. Are 739 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:56.200 you losing the faith about switch To or if you 740 00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:57.680 just blocked out this noise? 741 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:03.480 I have locked out. It's nice because, like I hardware 742 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:08.079 timing is so fickle that I try. It's very different 743 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.000 from like when you hear our video game is going 744 00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.440 to be released at this time there's there's a little 745 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:17.640 more weight to that, and it usually takes I think, 746 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:19.559 I would say, like a lot more for it to 747 00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:23.039 be shifted. And when that stuff, when those factors are 748 00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:26.039 coming into play, one people who are paying attention can 749 00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:28.160 kind of read the tea leaves. And then also like 750 00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.039 we start hearing things that are like this is looking 751 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:33.519 like it's gonna it's gonna change, whereas it feels like 752 00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:37.799 with hardware, we're just kind of guessing a lot of times, 753 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:39.920 and the things that we do here are so vague. 754 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:43.519 Like I've heard multiple times, ex console is coming out 755 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.680 this time, and then for some whatever reason, it's been delayed, 756 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:48.640 and it's like, why was it delayed, and people are 757 00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:52.279 just like, I don't know. It could be any number 758 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.160 of things, And I think. 759 00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:58.519 It's right that it's It is more malleable than people 760 00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.400 I think realize. 761 00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.240 Yeah, a lot of the finalized. 762 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.119 Details of what a console launch is going to look 763 00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.240 like are decided very decided, very last minute, Like maybe 764 00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.840 not the name, but like the pricing is something that 765 00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.079 they like have a range that they're working in, and 766 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.239 that the last minute, okay, the market feels like they'd 767 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:16.559 be okay with this we're gonna go with as much 768 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:17.760 as we could possibly get away with. 769 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.519 And that PlayStation Xbox digital thing reactive style, like the 770 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.559 history that they have where you know they undercut each other. 771 00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:29.039 Was it PlayStation that came in lower or the Xbox 772 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:30.840 that came in yeahs four. 773 00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:34.239 Xbox was early in the day at five hundred dollars 774 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.599 with the you know, the connect built in, and then 775 00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:39.800 later that day Sony went four hundred dollars for this 776 00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:41.960 sense for the gamers to share you could just show 777 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:43.920 your games by handed to copy over to someone else. 778 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.719 It was and that was probably decided. 779 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.199 Like we know for a fact that the game sharing 780 00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.679 thing was was made last minute as a reaction. 781 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:52.360 Yes, it's all that stuff was right there. 782 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.599 And the pricing, like going back to the beginning of 783 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:57.920 PlayStation we know that the pricing was something that they 784 00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.400 were using as a tool to fight against Safe because 785 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.000 they were like, we want to push Sega out as 786 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:03.360 much as possible because we know we're not going to 787 00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:05.320 get be able to get rid of the Nintendo necessarily, 788 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.840 but if we can take over what Sega has, and 789 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:09.519 the way we're going to do that is we will 790 00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:12.000 always be one hundred dollars cheaper than the Saturn, And 791 00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:14.440 so when you know, Sander gets announced this price, well, 792 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:15.079 we're just gonna come. 793 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:16.039 Out and say two ninety nine. 794 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.760 And then when Saturn tries to make a price cut happen, 795 00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:21.039 even though it was losing a ton of money, PlayStation 796 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.719 was cheaper enough to manufacture. They're like, every time that 797 00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:25.559 would happen, Sony would cut their price again and cut 798 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.639 their price again, And it was a tool that they 799 00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.880 wielded against Sega, and nothing's changed in that stuff. So 800 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.119 I think that these companies try to keep as many 801 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.760 of those tools in their kit as they can when 802 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:41.159 it comes to launching a system of any stripe. And 803 00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:44.800 that means like we have a marketing plan, but every 804 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:48.280 beat in this marketing plan can be slotted in to 805 00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:49.000 a different. 806 00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:50.760 Date depending on what we need and when we need it. 807 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.360 So I like once it kicks off, once it starts, 808 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:56.559 the machine begins rolling a little bit automatically. But they 809 00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.000 kind they're like holding back on when they announced it. 810 00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.880 I think because they're like, we want to pick our 811 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:02.880 time on that, and I think we're still in that 812 00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:03.679 phase right now. 813 00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.440 Yeah. I feel like if I had to place a bet, 814 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.039 I would say like the we're more likely to get 815 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:14.840 an O lead switch than a switch to announce at 816 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:18.679 the end of the year. It feels like Nintendo would 817 00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:20.440 want a little more of a runway than that. 818 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.079 I think we know they want. They have still high 819 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.480 like this story says, they want to sell. They sold 820 00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:29.239 like two million switches in that one quarter that they've 821 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:30.639 reported so far for their fiscal year. 822 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.400 They still have to sell another thirteen million this year. 823 00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:34.719 How do they do that? 824 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.559 Some aggressive bundling seems like the answer, and that's probably 825 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:39.679 what they're going to focus on. 826 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:41.760 Before they start getting people too excited about the switch too. 827 00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:47.280 I laughed earlier because when you mentioned the switch, that's 828 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.719 the Zelda switch. Because during packs, we took our good 829 00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.840 good friend friend of the show, Ben Star with us 830 00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:58.159 to a bunch of appointments, right, and one of the 831 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.840 one of them was Zelda appointment. And we're in the 832 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.880 room getting a presentation, and then the person giving a 833 00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:09.119 presentation like was like, oh, and we'll have this new, 834 00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:12.199 old switch which has got the Zelda stuff on it, 835 00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:15.199 and they step aside and the switch was behind him 836 00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:21.000 the entire time, and all your hair his Ben go wow. Literally, 837 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.079 no one else in the room. No one else in 838 00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.159 the room made any noises, just him. 839 00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:28.239 Going wow, oh the wonder of a child. 840 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.519 Yeah, sweet sweet boy. Bat was so funny. I wish 841 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:35.000 I could have captured that moment. Everyone like turned like 842 00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:36.039 look at him and he was like. 843 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:41.719 Security footage somewhere has that and they watch it all 844 00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.880 the time when they're feeling down. 845 00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.039 It was so cute and so funny. 846 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.800 That's incredible, all right. 847 00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:50.880 So we don't know when Nintendo's gonn announce anything. There's 848 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:53.159 still a chance a switch to could get anounced this month, 849 00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:56.199 even if there is an old model coming as well, 850 00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.000 or you know, there's a chance that we don't hear 851 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.760 about a switch to until March. Like that, both things 852 00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.679 are possible, but it's coming, and Nintendo has spent a 853 00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.440 lot of money investing in like getting this thing up 854 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.719 and off the ground. In fact, Nintendo R and D 855 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:13.880 spending peaks at to nearly one billion dollars. 856 00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:14.960 In the lead up to the switch to. It's a 857 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:17.719 headline from Ryan Parino at Game Ranks. 858 00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:20.679 As reported by Tweaked Town, Nintendo has increased their spending 859 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.840 on research and development this year at a staggering twenty 860 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.199 two year peak in fiscal year April two thousand and 861 00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:28.800 one to March two thousand and two, at the start 862 00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.679 of the GameCubes lifetime, Nintendo spent seventeen billion yen. In 863 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:35.239 fiscal year's fiscal year April twenty twenty three to March 864 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.920 twenty twenty four, Nintendo spent one hundred and thirty seven 865 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.800 point seven billion yen or about nine hundred and eleven 866 00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:43.880 million dollars. This amount also accounts for eight percent of 867 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.320 Nintendo's net sales for the past fiscal year, so it 868 00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.760 is a significant amount that was taken from their cash reserves. 869 00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.599 Nintendo has been slowly increasing their R and D through 870 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.239 the decades. The fact that they are now reaching nearly 871 00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.239 a billion indicates that even the company's conservative methods of 872 00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.840 keeping up with the industry has still force them to 873 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:04.519 reach an obscenely high amount of spending. This also lines 874 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:06.159 up with the rumors that have recently come up in 875 00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.920 relation to the switch to. Last month, we reported on 876 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:14.800 well Tranned stating stating production of switch to components has begun. Yesterday, 877 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:18.199 business an analyst David Gibson pointed out that another Nintendo partner, 878 00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:21.679 post Sidon, has spent two billion yen on production equipment 879 00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.840 and one billion yen on automation. 880 00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:28.039 C what's that? Yes, the King because it's host side 881 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:28.960 and not post sidon. 882 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:33.400 I feel like there's a The King, but slightly. Yes, 883 00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:35.320 thank you, that's the joke. I was looking for it, 884 00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:38.679 thank you very much. And that's solely for the manufacture of. 885 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:40.880 Nintendo products, So they spent a lot of money on 886 00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.800 that stuff. Whatever. 887 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:45.000 A lot of money's being spent on this thing. A 888 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.719 billion dollars on research and development, the highest they've have 889 00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:50.239 had in twenty two years at Nintendo. 890 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:56.239 I I just they're gonna come out with something insane 891 00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.880 and they're gonna do I feel like we're due for 892 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.079 a Nintendo like crazy move right. 893 00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:02.519 It's a crazy move right, Yeah. 894 00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:06.199 Yeah. I feel like we're gonna get like, oh, Nintendo 895 00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:10.280 announces new product that will analyze you all ship yep, 896 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:12.239 your poops to tell you how healthy you are, and 897 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:17.320 everyone's gonna be like, excuse me, stool vitality sensor. Yes, yeah, yeah, 898 00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:19.679 they're gonna do something insane like that. People are gonna 899 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.920 be like what the fuck then, and then it won't 900 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:27.840 come out it just like adapt it into something else. 901 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:32.559 Uh yeah, I mean I think that this is probably 902 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:35.119 gonna be some like big move that is sort of 903 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:38.639 a side show to the switch to being like probably 904 00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:40.679 a lot of the stuff that we're predicting, But I 905 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:43.280 think they want to have a rob the robot style 906 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.960 and here's something flashy to make you forget that basically 907 00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.679 buying the same thing again, but it's more powerful. 908 00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:49.639 Not that any of us really care that that's the case. 909 00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:50.440 I think that's what we. 910 00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:53.000 Want, but I think Nintendo thinks the wider audience needs 911 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.920 that the keys dangling in front of them to get 912 00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.800 distracted from that. 913 00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:57.840 I think what they're gonna make is that what they 914 00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.719 should make is an all round fitness and health app 915 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.280 that combines all of their like initiatives into one, like 916 00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:08.159 Pokemon Sleep and Pokemon Goal and all this kind of 917 00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:09.960 stuff and being like, oh, here's this thing where you 918 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.760 put it on yourself and it will measure your sleep, 919 00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:17.440 it will measure your steps, your health, it will give 920 00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.719 you pings about you know you need to do this 921 00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.400 much amount of activity. Why don't you pick up Pokemon 922 00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:30.599 Goal or try playing what's that fitness game Switching adventure 923 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:35.519 and you know it's also monitoring your blood sugar levels 924 00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:38.360 and crazy shit like that, and then I feel like 925 00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:40.800 every now and then Nintendo tries to appeal to the 926 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.559 like worldwide health market in a very Nintendo way, and 927 00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:45.519 with you one of. 928 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:51.239 Those, yeah, I think that you are probably exactly right. 929 00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:52.840 It is going to be something I think they are. 930 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.039 I think they always want to have a health app 931 00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:59.079 ready to go, and maybe maybe that's ring Fit Adventure too, 932 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:00.960 But I think I wouldn't surprised if a lot. 933 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:02.599 Of the spending is we're gonna try to do something 934 00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:03.960 really bold in that space. 935 00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:07.480 And unwearables are a big thing right now, like between 936 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.960 like I'm wearing two wearables right now, like this one 937 00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:16.320 for like sleep and stuff, this one for like fitness, 938 00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:16.719 and like. 939 00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:18.719 If I didn't know that you've never done anything illegal, 940 00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:20.400 I would say you look like a drug dealer right now. 941 00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:25.079 Maybe. But like also like there's there's there's like rings 942 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:28.280 and stuff as well. Now the measure it feels like 943 00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.280 Nintendo is could get in there and be like we've 944 00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:33.159 got something. 945 00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.760 Like yeah, it's like you're gonna feel like you're in 946 00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:37.639 a cult, but it's Nintendo, so it's fun. 947 00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:39.519 I think, yeah, there's a chance of that. 948 00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:43.800 There's also a shot here that a lot of the 949 00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:47.960 spending is just figuring out stuff like backward compatibility layers 950 00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:50.840 and things like that. Although my guess has been that 951 00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:53.639 Nintendo and has had in video work on that stuff 952 00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:57.159 for them, and Nintendo is researching other like the fun stuff. 953 00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:00.639 I'm sorry we said wearables. I just came up with 954 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.599 a million dollar idea.

What are you doing? 996 00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:14.000 Do you guys respect that? Do you do? 997 00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:18.960 I have respect for your stylized thing?

I will 1002 00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:32.239 you know what the issue. 1003 00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:34.599 With this is? Do you know the reason why I 1004 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.599 say this is a catastrophe because you know what? You 1005 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.719 know what kind of people and what other like market 1006 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.679 does a symbol in the middle of the name of something, 1007 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:46.679 the fucking crypto market? 1008 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.519 Do you do that? It looks like it does? 1009 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.880 It looks like a crypto name, and people are and 1010 00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:55.079 I look at it. I'm like a crypto game, Yes, 1011 00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:57.800 Why why are you doing this? Is insane? 1012 00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:01.719 Like the of a crypto bot? Yes? 1013 00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:05.679 Is a dollar sign so important to the game experience 1014 00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:07.119 that it needs to be there? 1015 00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:11.519 Dam I think I don't just like this. I hate it. 1016 00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:14.679 I hate look at I dislike that. Yeah, I detely 1017 00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:17.880 hate it. Actually so and like based. 1018 00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:19.519 On that, I'm like, it's not a great stuff for you. 1019 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:21.079 Okay. 1020 00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:23.960 Apparently the Christopher Dring said on I think he was 1021 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:27.079 on the VGC podcast that internally they're happy with the game. 1022 00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.039 Does that even matter, because I mean. 1023 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:33.079 I feel like we live in a world where we 1024 00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:36.760 live in a post quality world where the quality the 1025 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:39.719 quality of a game is not a good indicator of 1026 00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:47.159 whether it's gonna succeed. But I do feel like one 1027 00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:52.519 of these bets for a like a lifestyle like games 1028 00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:56.320 of service type game is gonna land. I feel like 1029 00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:01.039 fair Game could be it. I'm more interested in fair 1030 00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:03.840 Game then whatever else they're doing with like trying to 1031 00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:08.199 make Horizon a multiplayer lifestyle games and service game, I'm 1032 00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:13.800 very little interested in that. But I also like don't 1033 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:18.159 know enough about this game to say either way. It's 1034 00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:20.920 got a very strange vibe, Like it's got like a 1035 00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.920 weird hacker vibe, then it's got like a Payday vibe, 1036 00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:26.840 and then it's got like a like a cop head 1037 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:31.199 like anarchy vibe. And I'm just like, it's very unclear 1038 00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.360 what the aesthetic and the vibe of this game is 1039 00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:35.079 meant to be. 1040 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.000 A competitive heist experience is how they describe it. 1041 00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:40.800 Yeah, I feel like that could be a I mean, 1042 00:47:40.840 --> 00:47:44.000 like Payday has been good in the past, and it 1043 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:47.440 seems like a fun experience. But I feel like no 1044 00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:51.239 one's done a good heist game properly. Like the closest 1045 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:55.480 you get is GTA, I guess. But but like and Payday, 1046 00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:59.400 but there is an opportunity here, But the market for 1047 00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:03.000 this stuff is so fickle man Like, Yes, you could 1048 00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:06.360 make the best game ever and people be like, no, 1049 00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.280 I'm okay, I've got Fortnite. Yeah, I think it's going 1050 00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:09.599 to be. 1051 00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:12.960 Maybe there was a chance this game was going to 1052 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:15.880 be seventy forty dollars at this point. 1053 00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:18.239 They just got to start us free to play, right. 1054 00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:22.679 They cannot at least in PlayStation Plus Day one at 1055 00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:23.440 the very least. 1056 00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:25.840 I think if this is a game that has a 1057 00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.559 roadmap where people need to pay more money for additional content, 1058 00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:33.000 they cannot put a price tag on the entry point 1059 00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:36.320 of this that is in this day and age, that 1060 00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:42.639 is slowly plunging a knife into your game. It's rough, 1061 00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.599 and chances are people are going to reply and be like, 1062 00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:48.079 that is so unrealistic. We have to put a price. 1063 00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:52.119 It's so expensive. I might completely understand. I completely understand, 1064 00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:54.360 but you know who doesn't care? The people who are 1065 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.440 you're relying on paying to pay money. They do not 1066 00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:59.679 give a shit how much money you have spent making 1067 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.159 this game. They don't care how much of years of 1068 00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:04.920 your life has gone into this, which is incredibly sad. 1069 00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:07.719 But ultimately they will make a snap decision in a 1070 00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.760 moment to be like, yeah, check this out. And the 1071 00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:13.960 barrier to making that moment to happen to yell, check 1072 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.159 this out is a price tag. That is where thought 1073 00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:19.119 starts to come into it. And at that point they think, well, 1074 00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:20.920 I could play this, but I am spending money on 1075 00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:25.519 Destiny war Frame, water Warcraft, whatever it may be, and 1076 00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:29.000 then that is a very very very high wall to 1077 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:29.519 get over. 1078 00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:33.719 Yep, I yeah, I think you know that. Like that, 1079 00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:35.920 you could spend six, seven, eight years on a game, 1080 00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:39.119 and that snap decision people make, there's just no you know, 1081 00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:42.480 crossing that gap.

First couple 1194 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:32.360 of times I was like I feel good and then 1195 00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:35.440 like this backslide hard and I was like I should 1196 00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:38.280 have prepared for that.

I mean I haven't even had any negative tests yet, 1200 00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:47.599 so the idea of me traveling by Monday seems really 1201 00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:48.920 really slimm In this moment. 1202 00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:53.360 That doesn't seem like a good end.
