Speaker 1: I don't think I did end up posting the link
Speaker 1: last week, but go check out a Video Game Outsiders.
Speaker 1: I was on the show a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: They do awesome stuff. And then on this Friday, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be on Video Game Happy Hour, which Crafty who
Speaker 1: was like commenting on the show last week. They do
Speaker 1: a great show, usually do it on live on Twitch,
Speaker 1: and then it's on podcasts. Him and a few other
Speaker 1: guys that were previously in the Video Game Outsiders, like Discord,
Speaker 1: they had their own show actually on their app, and
Speaker 1: then they kind of took it off and did their
Speaker 1: own thing. So I'm gonna be on Friday talking about
Speaker 1: Claar Obscure and whatever else has been going on our
Speaker 1: Switch pre orders. So Mark, are you going to try
Speaker 1: to pre order to Switch now that we know it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be on Amazon at least for the first
Speaker 1: try here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably just because it'll be like, you know, if
Speaker 2: I don't get it now, it's gonna go from Price.
Speaker 1: I think the one store I'm not gonna be going.
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna avoid Target, because I've heard that they
Speaker 1: and I've had them do it to me. They canceled
Speaker 1: the pre order that I did at one point. I've
Speaker 1: heard a lot of horror stories about Target canceling pre
Speaker 1: orders for other things.
Speaker 2: So that's happened with That's by But you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go with Walmart because that's who I
Speaker 1: did the pre order with last time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The problem with those is, like, you know, you
Speaker 2: have to like basically buy it though, yeah, get in
Speaker 2: there or you know, at least have the money in
Speaker 2: your account.
Speaker 1: Walmart, I think did that, like check where it does
Speaker 1: depending and it was a way Yeah, and then I'm
Speaker 1: game Stop. I'm gonna try. If I don't get it
Speaker 1: with Walmart, I will try with game Stop in the
Speaker 1: in the morning or whatever, and we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: But let's go ahead and get into the video games. Uh, first,
Speaker 1: the games we've been playing here. I guess, what is
Speaker 1: your final thoughts on Assassin's Creed Shadows? How much long
Speaker 1: you know you were in like what chapter three when
Speaker 1: we finished?
Speaker 2: I guess, Okay, Yeah, they don't specific chapters per se.
Speaker 2: They claim they do, but don't, right, I mean, I
Speaker 2: showed you this pictures that of those feer those circle things, Like, yes,
Speaker 2: that's a lot. You know. I like the game overall,
Speaker 2: now that I'm kind of done with it, like I
Speaker 2: don't have much else to do, Like I guess you
Speaker 2: could go capture some more castles or something, but like
Speaker 2: you're getting it's not like territorial control, which is kind
Speaker 2: of what I would want. Like it's amazing that sin
Speaker 2: Andreas had better territorial control missions or the system than
Speaker 2: the last eight Assassin's Creed games. But yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 2: It has zero story in the present.
Speaker 1: Oh zero, Okay, so it's none of the.
Speaker 2: Five minutes in the in like the intro of these
Speaker 2: two like AI programs talking to each other, and then
Speaker 2: you occasionally find what they call it corrupt the data
Speaker 2: clusters or something, and it's just like emails there. It's
Speaker 2: just like no between characters or just you know, almost
Speaker 2: like newspaper clipping or something like that. But you can't
Speaker 2: even exit exit in the main game, but you have
Speaker 2: to like bounce to the main menu and then like
Speaker 2: go to this like secret menu, and that's where you
Speaker 2: see it. And it's like, why can't you see this
Speaker 2: tough normally like would that be a problem or but
Speaker 2: that's weird.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to dedicate like any resources.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, the game has some UI funkiness, like they added, uh,
Speaker 2: you get a lot of gear in the game, and
Speaker 2: they had a big patch like a few weeks ago,
Speaker 2: and they foundly added the ability to like mark and
Speaker 2: delete crap like basically market as junk and then sell it.
Speaker 2: And like within a weekday they removed the function because
Speaker 2: it was a crash in the game because like people
Speaker 2: are like selling fifty swords at a time and the
Speaker 2: game was not meant for that. Yeah. Wow, but and
Speaker 2: it's still not back in like people want it. But
Speaker 2: it's like yeah, because you're getting like level you're getting
Speaker 2: like purple and blue swords that you're never gonna use
Speaker 2: again or never use at all. But I like the
Speaker 2: game overall the year so far.
Speaker 1: We forgot to talk about Elastic But did you see that,
Speaker 1: you know, with all the craft that's been hurled their way, Uh,
Speaker 1: the their number two best selling game of the year,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, really first month.
Speaker 2: Well it's really not surprising. I mean what else they
Speaker 2: got going on Star Wars or you know, some rapid games.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm talking about for the entire year.
Speaker 1: This year so far, Sassa Cry Shadows is the number
Speaker 1: two behind Monster Wild the number two game.
Speaker 2: I would say, it's not surprising. Yeah, Like, I mean
Speaker 2: it's early in the year though, so you know, wait
Speaker 2: until Madden comes out, wait until FIFA what the hell
Speaker 2: they call on it, and wait until Call of Duty.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I can see it being like the top
Speaker 2: ten game of the year as far as like sales go.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, no, I mean that's one thing I think
Speaker 1: people need to look at it with a caveat is
Speaker 1: uh Crafty kind of getting into a discussion over it
Speaker 1: on his discord about how it's like they're kind of
Speaker 1: just grasping at straws and blah blah blah, and I
Speaker 1: was like, listen, it doesn't matter if at you know,
Speaker 1: six months from now it's no longer number two, right. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're not going around talking about it like Capcom has
Speaker 1: with Monster Hunter Wilds. But Assass's create is a huge franchise.
Speaker 1: When you already have a game like Monster Hunter Wild's
Speaker 1: coming out and just decimating everything, you getting two million sales,
Speaker 1: it's really not something to go boasting about. I would say, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I guess that's why they're going around saying they have
Speaker 1: too million players, but maybe they don't have even two
Speaker 1: million sales. I would imagine if they'd already sold like
Speaker 1: Assassa's Creed. Getting a million sales in week one is
Speaker 1: not a big deal for Gbisoft, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it kind of is though now,
Speaker 2: because there are a lot their games don't get big sales,
Speaker 2: like and that franchise has been pretty hit or missed
Speaker 2: over the past few games as well. So it's the
Speaker 2: same thing about like I look at it as almost
Speaker 2: at the same thing about TV ratings like or like
Speaker 2: box office returns like Center. You know, Center's just got
Speaker 2: sixty million, and everyone's like, oh, that's great, but it's like,
Speaker 2: well mate, I mean it costs over eighty and it
Speaker 2: had a lot a big marketing budget behind it. I mean,
Speaker 2: it'll make its money back for sure, but it'll take
Speaker 2: a while.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, well, definitely probably make us money back by
Speaker 1: the time it gets out of theaters.
Speaker 2: But it's just a problem also like it's a uh,
Speaker 2: you know, too many options.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Minecraft movie is still out there getting
Speaker 1: a bunch of bunch of money, So ill thought Minecraft
Speaker 1: Movie later, but you know this, it kind of improves. Again. Look,
Speaker 1: it's good that we have options, right, but when you
Speaker 1: have like something that's a behemoth that kind of got
Speaker 1: this ground twelve support too, doesn't help when you people
Speaker 1: show videos of the the scene inside theaters and people
Speaker 1: are doing crazy stuff and they're like, I kind of
Speaker 1: wonder you're part of that. You know, it's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna have it in my theater now, but I want
Speaker 1: to go see the movie now. It's also like increase
Speaker 1: the maybe not sales because like who doesn't have Minecraft
Speaker 1: at this point, but at least like people playing the
Speaker 1: game like thirty five percent.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I can buy it for sure.
Speaker 1: It's it's just one of these like I look, it's great.
Speaker 1: I think it's great. For Assass's Creed. It's still like
Speaker 1: the number two was the number two fastest selling or
Speaker 1: most pre ordered Assass's Creed, so you know, and they
Speaker 1: have a long history of games with some you know,
Speaker 1: great sales on that for them to have those numbers, yes,
Speaker 1: everybody wants those hard sales numbers. Been Honestly, the way
Speaker 1: Ubisoft is going right now, they don't really need to
Speaker 1: rush it, like they have a quarterly thing that they
Speaker 1: got to go talk at, and why not just say
Speaker 1: it there when you have the most up to date
Speaker 1: numbers possible to just be like, man, we sold this much,
Speaker 1: Sassacree Shadows. It's the only game that we have going
Speaker 1: on right now besides DLC if they announced for Star
Speaker 1: Wars Outlaws and whenever Outlaws comes out for a switch
Speaker 1: to number and all that. So like this is their
Speaker 1: main game, the main game that they've been like making
Speaker 1: sure is the one that sells or does well for them.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is going to be the
Speaker 1: determinant whether or not they finally go through with that
Speaker 1: side company or whatever, but obviously it does help. But
Speaker 1: this is like their last hurrah as far as like,
Speaker 1: if this doesn't do well, we definitely got to go
Speaker 1: shed that that Ubisoft name and start somewhere, start new.
Speaker 1: So well, we'll see. I'm glad you liked it, you know,
Speaker 1: do you have like a ranking of where it lands
Speaker 1: for you as far as Assassa's creed.
Speaker 2: Or i'd said probably pretty high. I still I mean
Speaker 2: probably like Brotherhood at a C four, Valhalla are better,
Speaker 2: maybe even even a C two, But it's better than
Speaker 2: like Mirage. I'd say it's better than Origin and Odyssey,
Speaker 2: better than three you know, so i'd say I'm pretty
Speaker 2: positive on it. But it's still it still has some issues, right,
Speaker 2: so you know, we'll see and it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: they'll keep working on it, probably because what else going on.
Speaker 2: And they got I know they have like DLC coming
Speaker 2: on the on the pipeline, so yeah.
Speaker 1: For sure we know that's coming. Yeah, So how goes
Speaker 1: the uh Indiana Jones Good Bay Station five?
Speaker 2: I got a few days ago from the ends. Uh,
Speaker 2: I've been playing a pretty pretty a lot or you know,
Speaker 2: like I'm up to the third area this like Siberia
Speaker 2: or Himalayas.
Speaker 1: Wow, so you're already through the Vatican already.
Speaker 2: Do like ag.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and then now.
Speaker 2: You're wow, I'm not like percent in those areas.
Speaker 1: Okay. That's the next time I was gonna ask you,
Speaker 1: was like, so are you doing like the main like
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: I'm doing what I find Okay, I'm doing a fair
Speaker 2: amount of side missions and like I finally did one
Speaker 2: of the missions where it's like, oh, clicked all these
Speaker 2: ancient relics and Giza and I had a mat for
Speaker 2: that at least, so I was like, Okay, I can
Speaker 2: do this, but I'm finding myself very So there's experience
Speaker 2: points and money and experience points. Uh. You can find
Speaker 2: or buy books and they give you like basically a
Speaker 2: talent like oh, now your whip can disarm guys, or
Speaker 2: now you punch harder. I have a fair amount of
Speaker 2: skill points, and it's not like you get like one
Speaker 2: skill point, you know, it's like, oh, the punch harder,
Speaker 2: you gotta spend five hundred points and it's like that's
Speaker 2: no problem. Like and you get points from like you know,
Speaker 2: doing quest photograph and stuff, doing sidequest crap like that.
Speaker 2: I don't have a ton of cash in the game.
Speaker 2: That's where it's kind of breaking for me. So it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's like in the Vatican, it's like, oh, you can
Speaker 2: buy this book or buy this map that here are
Speaker 2: all the medicine bottles to fined. It's like, yo, that's
Speaker 2: that's eight hundred, that's six, you know, six hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: I got like four hundred, you know, or you know,
Speaker 2: I don't. You don't find a ton of money in
Speaker 2: the game, which I haven't yet. So that's what slowed
Speaker 2: me down. So, uh, I like it. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's one hundred percent. I like it, but it's not
Speaker 2: one hundred percent clicking with me necessarily, Like you've put
Speaker 2: it right.
Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't get past Egypt, but yeah, sure I
Speaker 1: found a game kind of JANKI in spots like I
Speaker 1: was stuck in an enemy base in Egypt and it's
Speaker 1: just like big base with a big sense around it.
Speaker 2: So it's like, Okay, I don't want to run to
Speaker 2: the entrance because I'm and have like my cred suit
Speaker 2: the disguise, so they know who I am and they're
Speaker 2: just gonna like shoot me or fight me. Right, So
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, how can I do How can I
Speaker 2: do this? Can I like hop on a There are
Speaker 2: like little buildings like dotting the inside of the fence,
Speaker 2: So I'm like, can I happen to hop in a building,
Speaker 2: get to the roof and just jumped over the fence.
Speaker 2: And it's like you you think you could do that,
Speaker 2: but you can't. I spent a half hour trying to
Speaker 2: do this right.
Speaker 1: It wants you to do it with a disguise and
Speaker 1: all that stuff.
Speaker 2: It's like a point that it's it feels almost very
Speaker 2: restricting in a sense because they clearly want you to
Speaker 2: do this, and it's like, yo, I got why should I?
Speaker 2: You know, like their.
Speaker 1: Freedom comes more in the combat, Like you don't have
Speaker 1: to use a gun, right like you can just.
Speaker 2: I basically have except for so like the first time
Speaker 2: I actually try to, I use my gun like once,
Speaker 2: and I alerted the whole damn base and basically like
Speaker 2: had a hide real quick and wait till they all
Speaker 2: went yeah. But there's an early boss fight like right
Speaker 2: after right after in the Vatican where you fight this
Speaker 2: big Tony Todd, the guy, giant guy, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, I got a gun. I've been collecting bullets,
Speaker 2: like I got like eighteen shots. Let's pull this gun
Speaker 2: out and treat this guy now like Andy just like
Speaker 2: reloads the gun. You know, you're just spost to like
Speaker 2: fake like fighting normally. Why like I have a gun,
Speaker 2: like what you know they should have just like had
Speaker 2: the scene where like the Tony Todd like not your
Speaker 2: gun away, so you don't have it at all, as
Speaker 2: opposed to me pulling the gun out and then me
Speaker 2: just like uselessly reloading it, you know, for ten.
Speaker 1: Then realizing that it's not going to do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's so it's like, oh God, couldn't you just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I programmed like a slightly better logical reason for not
Speaker 2: having the gun, you know. Uh yeah, kindbat's fun. Uh.
Speaker 2: I also wish you get there might be a skill
Speaker 2: point later on or skill thing like melee weapons. Is
Speaker 2: the game incredibly brittle? Yeah, most stuff has three uh
Speaker 2: durability points and if you if you do a stealth takedown,
Speaker 2: it takes it ball three and the larger weapons, like
Speaker 2: the larger items have six. So it's like, oh, you
Speaker 2: can do two two stealth takedowns and that's it. It's
Speaker 2: like that's not a lot.
Speaker 1: Like not to be fair, they do give you like
Speaker 1: a lot of different things that are weapons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'd rather just they just have it like
Speaker 2: Indiana just finds like a blackjack or finds like some
Speaker 2: metal baseball bat that's somehow indestructible and just carries out
Speaker 2: with them. Uh.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they didn't do the typical you know, weapon wheel.
Speaker 2: Yeah thing, but and I almost like never used the web.
Speaker 2: I forget it. I have it most of the time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I like it. It runs fine. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: what you expect. Uh, you know, good acting. I like
Speaker 2: the uh, I mean, you played it enough of it.
Speaker 2: I like the priests from the first part of the game,
Speaker 2: the Vatican Antonio. I like that actor, so I'm like,
Speaker 2: I recognize that dude. Oh yeah, that is him. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: good game or I don't know if I'll finish it
Speaker 2: by next week, but you know, I'll probably keep playing
Speaker 2: it and i'll play it right after that. None of
Speaker 2: this all right.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you've been enjoying. I was wondering if
Speaker 1: you were going to get to play it and then
Speaker 1: what you would think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on that, I mean it reminds me of like
Speaker 2: des X kind of. And then also Chronicles a Ritic
Speaker 2: Escape from Butcher Bay.
Speaker 1: That chronicle I got advised from for Chronicles of critics
Speaker 1: playing it.
Speaker 2: Wait until and he gets his own eye shine job.
Speaker 1: Well let's see if you know the anticipation and you
Speaker 1: playing at others playing on a PS five leat it's
Speaker 1: the sales of Microsoft once yeah, you know. And then
Speaker 1: they've got for the Horizon coming on Friday as well,
Speaker 1: so they got a double PlayStation.
Speaker 2: I'd like to play that, but I'm buying they'd be
Speaker 2: like my third time buying that game, so no, thank you,
Speaker 2: but you have it on Steam. I have it on
Speaker 2: Steam and also have it on Xbox like PC. The
Speaker 2: I bought it first on there because it wasn't on
Speaker 2: Skiing Game the Steam.
Speaker 1: Finally, you don't think Jens might biases he doesn't have
Speaker 1: He doesn't.
Speaker 2: He doesn't racing games at all.
Speaker 1: There's one racing game that definitely go play four as
Speaker 1: the Horizon five. That's the one. Well, speaking of fighting things,
Speaker 1: Capcom Fighting Collection too. How is it?
Speaker 2: So it has eight games in it? I don't think
Speaker 2: I can talk about two of them. I don't think
Speaker 2: I can talk about Powerstone and Capcom Fighting Evolutions. I
Speaker 2: can talk about the other six. Uh that game is weird. Ah.
Speaker 2: So it has Powerstone two uh two cap Converse S
Speaker 2: m K games, which I'm not a huge S and
Speaker 2: K fan personally, so that kind of means nothing to me.
Speaker 2: Plasma sorbs have never played either. And then it has
Speaker 2: Project Justice and Street Fighter Alpha three Upper and those
Speaker 2: where I'm spending most of my time and those where
Speaker 2: I'm having issues. So Power Strong is a great, great
Speaker 2: fighting game, but and this is the problem with Alpha
Speaker 2: three as well. They didn't include the right version because
Speaker 2: these are all like the Arcade version of these games,
Speaker 2: and at least they have a training mode kind of
Speaker 2: where it's just like a you know, a dummy or
Speaker 2: you know, just testing how your combos out and stuff.
Speaker 2: But like some of these games need to kind of
Speaker 2: introduction or need more of like a tutorial, like Project
Speaker 2: Justice because it has some really weird esoteric shit going on,
Speaker 2: like with the you know, character swapping or character tagging
Speaker 2: in or you do like you step in and out
Speaker 2: of the stage because it's a three D game phenomenally,
Speaker 2: like it's more or less two D. And then Powerstone,
Speaker 2: I mean Powers Prejudice has like the most bewildering story
Speaker 2: mode and a fighting game ever. Or it's like you
Speaker 2: can like pick us pick a uh a school, and
Speaker 2: I took your team, so it's like, oh, Pacific High
Speaker 2: is like Tiffany Roy and bald dude. If it doesn't
Speaker 2: uh start, but it's like, oh, if you just progress
Speaker 2: to the story, ah, you can get one ending, but
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, if you lose on like match three,
Speaker 2: it splits off in like this other ending and you
Speaker 2: face like other you know, other characters or stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So looking at the achievement for this thing, it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: get get Project Justice three, Project Justice High School second ending,
Speaker 2: and it gives you a little fans it gives you
Speaker 2: a little hint like, oh, you know, do two team
Speaker 2: of attacks and you know stage two or something. Because
Speaker 2: it didn't, you be screwed entirely. But that that's a problem,
Speaker 2: Like it's just weirdly. You know, some of these games,
Speaker 2: I don't even saw them in an arcade, let alone
Speaker 2: playing any of them, so some help put them in nice.
Speaker 2: And then the two other issues are Projectice specifically, are
Speaker 2: it doesn't Rival Schools, which I'm going to continue to
Speaker 2: bang out about because y know it should.
Speaker 1: And then I wonder if they're leaving it for a
Speaker 1: potential fighting collection.
Speaker 2: Thing they shouldn't, like they should ditch. I mean this
Speaker 2: is basically the Dreamcast version, like Dreamcast collection of fighting games,
Speaker 2: because all this crap, you know as a Dreamcast during
Speaker 2: an Onmi hardware, But who gives a fuck about Plasma Sword, Like,
Speaker 2: ditch it and put in Rival Schools and hey, it's
Speaker 2: gonna look like ass because you know it's a nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety eight arcade PS one game. But who cares people,
Speaker 2: I'd rather have you.
Speaker 1: I think it's like a licensing thing. As far as
Speaker 1: why they didn't do the console versions.
Speaker 2: Or no, I think it's strictly like they have an
Speaker 2: emulator that can run dream Run Naomi hardware, and these
Speaker 2: are the files they have. Like building in something extra
Speaker 2: would take more work. And that's the other well, the
Speaker 2: two main problems Project Justice when it came out and Dreamcast,
Speaker 2: specifically the Japanese version. It had this really cool board
Speaker 2: game where you could like create your own character and
Speaker 2: like power them up to this like board. It's almost
Speaker 2: like Mario Party or you know, but good. And they
Speaker 2: didn't bring into America because it would have cost. It
Speaker 2: was you know, it was a bunch of Japanese, so
Speaker 2: they would have had to translate it and stuff that's
Speaker 2: gotten easier in the past twenty five years. I mean
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say do it. You know, have some machine
Speaker 2: Ai translated. But it's not hard to translate stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: Guys like you could bring it over. It ain't hard, Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I would have had I would have rather had
Speaker 2: that version or you know, had that as like an extra.
Speaker 2: The real problem those Alpha three they have just the
Speaker 2: Arcade version of Alpha three, and it's like, yo, there
Speaker 2: have been a lot of other better versions of Alpha
Speaker 2: three out there, like the PS one version, yeah, the
Speaker 2: Dreamcast or even I mean, hell, they put an xbo
Speaker 2: A version Alpha three, like Iron Galaxy did it have
Speaker 2: those versions as well? And it's like if you don't
Speaker 2: want to, I can understand, and then I want to
Speaker 2: do like Network Coach for all that crap. Like I
Speaker 2: completely understand it. If you just want to have Alpha
Speaker 2: three upper have the like be the network or the
Speaker 2: online version, that's fine. But like, especially the PS one
Speaker 2: version of Alpha three had a bunch of really cool
Speaker 2: stuff in it, like a world tour mode, edit mode,
Speaker 2: other like hidden ca characters, unlockable characters, stuff like that.
Speaker 2: And this is like the most like bare bones Alpha
Speaker 2: three to get. And it's like always like the latest
Speaker 2: Arcade revision or whatever from you know, eighteen years ago
Speaker 2: or something. But it doesn't have Evil Ryo in it,
Speaker 2: I don't think, or you know, it doesn't have a
Speaker 2: lot of other trap from like the PS one version.
Speaker 1: Sorry you're gone. Well, would you say that it's pressed
Speaker 1: to forty dollars? Would you say it's still worth getting
Speaker 1: even though it doesn't have it only has version.
Speaker 2: I would say Project Justice. It's kind of worth it alone.
Speaker 2: And while I can't specifically talk about Powerstone one, uh,
Speaker 2: Powerstorm one and two hold up more or less? Uh,
Speaker 2: so it's worth it for that. Anything like Alpha three
Speaker 2: or if you're a big cap you know that's okay
Speaker 2: fan absolutely, because those are the poor bastards have been
Speaker 2: waiting for decades for a new game.
Speaker 1: Is there anything new added to any.
Speaker 2: They have like the soundtrack soundtrack thing, and they have
Speaker 2: you know, gallery for all the games they can finally
Speaker 2: get that higher as Tiffany or you won't even want,
Speaker 2: or that everyone really wants. Alpha three, though, has like
Speaker 2: so each game has its own little metal system or
Speaker 2: own a little trophy system, so it's like, oh, you
Speaker 2: beat the game with Ryu or you beat the game
Speaker 2: with you know whatever. Alpha three has a survival mode
Speaker 2: and a dramatic battle mode and a final Battle mode,
Speaker 2: and I think the final battle mode is just like
Speaker 2: fighting like the end boss, like just that's it, like
Speaker 2: one kind of one and done. And thank god the
Speaker 2: button commands are in the in the game, because I
Speaker 2: had like no idea about any of this crap, because
Speaker 2: like I just played the PS one version and the
Speaker 2: PS one version just like an option for Dramatic Battle mode.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, you gotta like hold start and then
Speaker 2: press you know, both kick buttons at the right time,
Speaker 2: and then you'll enter dramatic Battle mode. Why couldn't it
Speaker 2: just make this like an option.
Speaker 1: On PS five?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I you know, doing this like weird hidden crap,
Speaker 2: Like this isn't like fun and for like the other games,
Speaker 2: like all the other fighting collections, like you know, the
Speaker 2: Marvel one, It's like that had some hidden stuff, like
Speaker 2: Marvelrus Capcom one had like hidden characters and shit, but
Speaker 2: like I haven't they made it easier to put to
Speaker 2: like find that stuff. Just like, isn't an option in
Speaker 2: the menu to like make it easy. This doesn't have
Speaker 2: that really. Uh So it's like, yeah, you're gonna be
Speaker 2: hunting around to some of this and it's a butmmer.
Speaker 2: You know, if this game had like Rival Schools and
Speaker 2: proct Justice and they translated Rival Schools correctly, it would
Speaker 2: be awesome. This is you know, I would hardly recommend it,
Speaker 2: but like it's it's all right, but I think it's
Speaker 2: like way more niche than even their past collector, right, Like,
Speaker 2: imagine if they put out like a collect or, you know,
Speaker 2: just like street Fighter two.
Speaker 1: Which they did, then they do like a street Fighter
Speaker 1: Collection Anniversary collection.
Speaker 2: Well I know, I yeah, but if they just included
Speaker 2: like the like the basic steed Fighter two, just eight characters,
Speaker 2: not Turbo, not super speed Fighter, not hyper Fighting. You know,
Speaker 2: there's been like nine different versions of freet Fighter two
Speaker 2: out there. Right now, this is a street Fighter two.
Speaker 2: You know, you can't even plays with the new Warriors.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, the first eight here you go,
Speaker 2: I guess, but there are other better versions of this
Speaker 2: thing out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't rule out the Capcom I do,
Speaker 1: like DLC.
Speaker 2: I would. I think he's pretty much like one and done. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think, like you said, it
Speaker 2: would be like Capcom Fighting Collection three. You know, I'll
Speaker 2: have like rival Schools and like the really weird if
Speaker 2: you can of another darks Talkers game or you know, Techromancer.
Speaker 2: I don't think they did that, but you know it's
Speaker 2: like you know, the really weird stuff. Yeah. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: they did do techro.
Speaker 1: Mancer in the first one, I think, right.
Speaker 2: Okay, ah, but yeah, it's just it would have been
Speaker 2: nice if they had a few other other editions of
Speaker 2: the thing, certain games, you know.
Speaker 1: I think it's also because it did in the first
Speaker 1: one also only had the arcade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like I said, like the first game, the
Speaker 2: first collection, most of those games didn't have any arcade
Speaker 2: or didn't have home courts or because like it'd be
Speaker 2: like if if Namco somehow made like a Soul Caliber
Speaker 2: collection and it is included every version of the like
Speaker 2: the old Arcade Soul Calber game, and it's like, right,
Speaker 2: this this thing gonna be bad because like Soul Caliber
Speaker 2: and the Dreamcast was a much better game than Soul
Speaker 2: Caliber in the Arcade, or you wouldn't get like the
Speaker 2: Soule Caliber two Wing or respond or anything like that.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 2: That's just my take. I mean I don't know. I
Speaker 2: got another month's to review it.
Speaker 1: So there you go. When is the game coming out
Speaker 1: in May May sixteenth? I think, w wow, that's a.
Speaker 2: I've had the game for like two weeks too, so.
Speaker 1: You would like do they want you to play? And
Speaker 1: they have games they don't want you to talk about,
Speaker 1: so it's like okay, so I don't even see the
Speaker 1: point of so like you can so the embargoes up
Speaker 1: for you to review it or you have to wait
Speaker 1: till yeah, okay, just to preview it. Okay, yeah, interesting,
Speaker 1: all right? Uh so I mentioned I might go and
Speaker 1: get the Lunar Collection. I did do that, I was.
Speaker 1: I got it on Switch. So now I have three
Speaker 1: old games that I've bought are well. I bought the
Speaker 1: Sweakening Collection on Switch. I bought z Blade Chronicle Sex
Speaker 1: Definitive on Switch, and now I have this on Switch
Speaker 1: as well. So I've played like fifteen hours of Lunar one.
Speaker 1: I never played either one of these games, by the way.
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, it's a wonderful jerrapyg comfort food with
Speaker 1: a heck of a I love the old school like
Speaker 1: I was right back into like nineties anime feel with
Speaker 1: the whole thing is the cut scenes are just like
Speaker 1: every time there's a new character, here we go with
Speaker 1: a animated f m V.
Speaker 2: They in the character the dragon or yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I loved it. I was like, all right, this
Speaker 1: is this is cool, you know, like it's just they
Speaker 1: they kept that. I love that they kept all that
Speaker 1: in there. They didn't try to like it's remastered, right,
Speaker 1: but they also didn't try to uh spruce it up
Speaker 1: too much, you know, so it definitely still feels like the.
Speaker 2: I know, the two things they did. It's a it's
Speaker 2: a new.
Speaker 1: Script, new script with voice. Yeah, it's not everything is
Speaker 1: voice by the way. Also it's not like everything yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's only certain scenes and then obviously the FMV right
Speaker 1: things like that. But it's still you know, it looks
Speaker 1: like a PS one game. They didn't try to do
Speaker 1: any of that. But yeah, I've been enjoying it. The
Speaker 1: music's great. Uh the you know, Darth Saw was what
Speaker 1: it was back then. But it's still uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just your typical JERRPG turn based battle system with you know,
Speaker 1: a kind of interesting way of the way that they
Speaker 1: do the attacks. It does have auto battle and you
Speaker 1: can speed up the battle so like X three or
Speaker 1: whatever as well, so that helps out.
Speaker 2: So they're not going to ye didn't have that so
Speaker 2: imagine some of this game, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's really like if you try to do it, like,
Speaker 1: it's really slow. And they do have the option for
Speaker 1: you to when you go to the menu, it does
Speaker 1: have the option to play as the classic version as well.
Speaker 1: Like Mark was mentioning with them finding collession. It's not
Speaker 1: like this is the only version. They have the original
Speaker 1: versions of the game, both games included, So if you
Speaker 1: want to go back and play it the way it
Speaker 1: was without some of the remastered stuff, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: But I'd be curious, uh, I mean, I guess you can't.
Speaker 2: You specifically can't answer this, but like, which version do
Speaker 2: they consider the original one? Is it, you know, the
Speaker 2: PS one version or is it the Segacy version?
Speaker 1: I guess I can find that out what we're talking
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: But no, I mean, I imagine it's a PS one version
Speaker 2: because you know, the Segacy version is a little rougher
Speaker 2: for sure, but it's cool it's in there. I mean,
Speaker 2: I I'd probably play that one just because you know,
Speaker 2: I know it more and high like dead voice acting better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the and it does help. We'll have it like
Speaker 1: a different languages as well. So, like, the only thing
Speaker 1: that bothered me is that my joy Con, my left
Speaker 1: joy Con has drift yep. So when you go to
Speaker 1: the beginning of the menu, it always starts out with
Speaker 1: the do you want to choose the original version of
Speaker 1: the remastered version of which game? You want to start
Speaker 1: out with and then if you press right or left
Speaker 1: it will change the language. So I've had it start
Speaker 1: up the Japanese version like three or four times, and
Speaker 1: then I have to exit out of it and turn
Speaker 1: it back on and do it again, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: damn it stupid, right, Okay it is the Sega CD
Speaker 1: ever looks like Okay, but yeah, look, I think if
Speaker 1: you're a j RPG historian person that loves playing old
Speaker 1: RPGs or just loves having them, right, I think this
Speaker 1: is perfect. It's only it's fifty, it's not sixty or seventy. Also,
Speaker 1: so there's the price cut there, and it's two pretty
Speaker 1: good games that it seems like from the seventeen hours
Speaker 1: or so I put in the Lunar one. These aren't
Speaker 1: long games.
Speaker 2: So you know, ah, how many how how many characters
Speaker 2: do you have them? Number one? Let me ask you that,
Speaker 2: like you have a mage mage guy or.
Speaker 1: So I've gotten all the way to the part where
Speaker 1: you have to go back to your hometown with one
Speaker 1: of the hero people. Yeah, I'm trying not to spoil
Speaker 1: it for people that I want to play through it.
Speaker 1: I've only I've met like so like, there's characters that
Speaker 1: will show up and then they don't show up again
Speaker 1: at least I've never seen them again. Right, But I've
Speaker 1: like I've got the fight with like a three or
Speaker 1: four different characters. I've met the Mage guy right, the
Speaker 1: Nash and then obviously Luna, Ramus and uh, you're an
Speaker 1: Alex are the main three. But then Ramus doesn't say
Speaker 1: in your party for two hours, which is fine because
Speaker 1: he's he's not great and yeah, so like the I
Speaker 1: have the Mage guy with then he left again because
Speaker 1: he has to take care of somebody again trying to
Speaker 1: I imagine, So it was how much they have him talking.
Speaker 1: I imagine Jessica also comes back, the White Mage, and
Speaker 1: then you know, you have I have Gallleon and my
Speaker 1: party right now, and he's just he's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a hero, so he's just whooping everybody. And then you know,
Speaker 1: so I've gotten to that part where we're kind of
Speaker 1: trying to we're trying to get to the meet the
Speaker 1: Dragon again or whatever, and That's where I'm at. So
Speaker 1: you know, the whole story is that Alex is trying
Speaker 1: to become the Dragon Master. You have to read the
Speaker 1: Four Dragons, and I think it's cool that the way
Speaker 1: it started with, You're like, you're essentially meeting a dragon
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game. Uh, and then they
Speaker 1: kind of just it gives you this like good cool
Speaker 1: feeling of like the scale of its like, here's the dragon.
Speaker 1: He's your screens going up and you're seeing him. And
Speaker 1: I love the writing in the game to this story
Speaker 1: has some really funny moments, even with the dragon at
Speaker 1: the beginning, he's like, do you realize that this diamond
Speaker 1: that you try to find is And they literally says
Speaker 1: that they did edit out some stuff, that there's some
Speaker 1: things that have been changed that with people are upset
Speaker 1: about whatever. It's like, listen, people got remember when these
Speaker 1: games are made. Translation is different back then, worst tizlations
Speaker 1: back then than today. And also, come on, do we
Speaker 1: really need to have the R word in a game
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five? We don't. Okay, you can get
Speaker 1: mad about the fact that it's not in there, but
Speaker 1: should have been in there from the beginning, So you
Speaker 1: can get mad, but let's be honest, it's not censoring,
Speaker 1: it's just making it so you know, other all kinds
Speaker 1: of people can all families and stuff. I can play
Speaker 1: this game that they want. You know, it's not why
Speaker 1: would that's stupid to have a game that just coming
Speaker 1: out and you're feeling like you got a censor from
Speaker 1: kids or whatever. So yeah, I just wanted to make
Speaker 1: a point about that, but been enjoying it. Let me
Speaker 1: see if I get any further. I'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: see if I can play some more before I get
Speaker 1: to the twenty fourth and then I won't play anything
Speaker 1: with Claire obscure, so we'll see. We'll get there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it for the games. So we've talked about about
Speaker 1: games on this episode, so all right, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and talk about some Nintendo switch to stuff as did
Speaker 1: you watch this Mario Kart World direct there?
Speaker 2: Because I'm just not in it.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, folks, I don't really know that I
Speaker 1: saw anything that tells me this game needs to be
Speaker 1: eighty dollars. But whatever, it is what Nintendo is charging
Speaker 1: for that game, so you know, what can we do
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: I still don't know that the free roam thing is
Speaker 1: this amazing thing that they keep talking about. I guess
Speaker 1: I'll see when we get to the actual game how
Speaker 1: free roaming it actually is. I do think it's cool
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have a four player split screen with
Speaker 1: the single switch to console, and you could do local
Speaker 1: wireless up to eight players, and then eventually, obviously you
Speaker 1: can do the twenty four players online, which that's that's
Speaker 1: obviously a leap for this console to do. They do
Speaker 1: have new moves and the charge jump where you can
Speaker 1: jump over stuff and jump on the grind rails, which
Speaker 1: they should in the first trailer. You can you can
Speaker 1: get the outfits for the different characters instead, and like,
Speaker 1: instead of getting weapons or whatever, you might get an outfit.
Speaker 1: A lot of the cool the new circuits look cool, right,
Speaker 1: So there's that. It's just it's Mario Kart. So look,
Speaker 1: if you haven't like me, I have not. I didn't
Speaker 1: get the new when they dropped those courses or whatever.
Speaker 1: I didn't buy that. I didn't buy that deal, all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm not Mario carted out. But I wonder if
Speaker 1: there's people that have been playing that game, like not
Speaker 1: on stop, or they've been playing it a lot, maybe
Speaker 1: Mario Kart. Seeing Mario Kart now is not that exciting
Speaker 1: to you because you've been literally seeing Mario Kart constantly,
Speaker 1: So it does I think it's one of those times
Speaker 1: I'm gonna really have to like see it on my
Speaker 1: TV for me to be excited, I guess because I'm
Speaker 1: not really getting to see much of what makes this
Speaker 1: awesome right now just watching it compress YouTube video, so right,
Speaker 1: I wonder if Nintendo will eventually, like once they get
Speaker 1: past like the Launch games and maybe they get more
Speaker 1: games that are like four K. I wonder if they
Speaker 1: will start releasing like four K versions on YouTube or whatever.
Speaker 1: That would be kind of interesting to see if they
Speaker 1: start doing that. But look, there's other Nintendo stuff that's
Speaker 1: I think a bit more important that you know, you
Speaker 1: either watch that Mario Kart thing or he didn't, and
Speaker 1: Mario Kart is Mark Kart. Right, I'm I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: that game because it's something I can play with my daughter,
Speaker 1: and especially now that we know we can use the
Speaker 1: old Switch Pro controllers. I can just hook up both
Speaker 1: the joy cons into the grip and I can use
Speaker 1: the pro controller. Then we could both play and that'll
Speaker 1: be fun. Like I'll be excited to play that with her,
Speaker 1: but I will be much more excited about Metro Prime
Speaker 1: or Beyond the Pokemon or some other game that comes
Speaker 1: with that. But speaking of Switch too, we know that
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the pre orders again set for April
Speaker 1: twenty four, so I guess everything just happy. We have
Speaker 1: the FBC Firebreak showcase on the twenty fourth, we have
Speaker 1: the Player Obscure coming on the twenty fourth, and we
Speaker 1: have the Switch to pre orders coming out twenty fourth.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be something else and now so
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth as well before we get through this week.
Speaker 1: But so as of now, I think it's Target and
Speaker 1: Walmart have both announced that midnight on the twenty fourth
Speaker 1: they will be pre orders. Best Bio technically has not
Speaker 1: announced that they're doing midnight. They are doing midnight release,
Speaker 1: so if you do pre order, you can go on
Speaker 1: release night. And game Stop is also doing it. You
Speaker 1: can go at twelve oh one and go get your
Speaker 1: console in person. Game Stop is doing eleven I wonder
Speaker 1: where game Stop chowse to make your way to eleven
Speaker 1: am Eastern.
Speaker 2: When the store is open. Yeah. Ye, the talent will
Speaker 2: come in the store more than yeah.
Speaker 1: They did say you can go in person as long
Speaker 1: as well as online to reserve, So you know, if
Speaker 1: you're like I still think that, like, if you can
Speaker 1: go in person and reserve. That's smart because you can
Speaker 1: do the paying piecemeal thing. You don't have to You
Speaker 1: just put the certain amount down, which it usually is
Speaker 1: fifty dollars for the console, and then you can pay
Speaker 1: however you want before you get to June. Even though
Speaker 1: you're not going to have the as big a window
Speaker 1: as they would have had if they would have gone
Speaker 1: on the ninth, but still at least they're they're giving
Speaker 1: you a little bit of window. The bad it is
Speaker 1: going to stay the same price. So I've now decided
Speaker 1: I'm just going to get the standalone console because I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure the Mario cart World bundle will be scalped
Speaker 1: to hell, right, and I really don't at this point,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I think I actually have thirty dollars
Speaker 1: on my switch to on my regulars on the Nintendo account. Yeah,
Speaker 1: after I bought Lunar, I think I realized I had
Speaker 1: like twenty five. So I'm just gonna buy the just
Speaker 1: the game digitally when I get the switch to or
Speaker 1: whatever the bad thing is. This is where the price
Speaker 1: increases have come in already. Now. To be fair, I
Speaker 1: will point out that they said I think like three
Speaker 1: times in this announcement that at launch it will call
Speaker 1: this amount four. They did not rule out that at
Speaker 1: any point after the launch they will raise the price.
Speaker 1: And according to a source within uh SO, a video
Speaker 1: Game MYSELFE also has in their app, they have a
Speaker 1: guy that owns his own game store and he's owned
Speaker 1: it in like I think it's the Ohio Cincinnati, Ohio area.
Speaker 1: He's owned it for like I think twenty years, and
Speaker 1: he said according to a source that apparently Tony is
Speaker 1: not going to be alone and raising the price of
Speaker 1: their console. Microsoft will also be raising the price at
Speaker 1: the Xbox.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So even though Microsoft could eat the Microsoft is more
Speaker 1: has more money to eat.
Speaker 2: But you don't need eat by the console Xbox is anything.
Speaker 1: That's That's the thing I don't understand is like if
Speaker 1: people are not really buying your console that much, so
Speaker 1: you really need to raise the price on it. But
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is with with with
Speaker 1: but so I would say that, Yeah, the thing where
Speaker 1: it's going to hit you the most is the accessories.
Speaker 1: So if you don't have any original switch accessories that
Speaker 1: you have around because you wanted to trade in everything
Speaker 1: that you have to get a switch to or at
Speaker 1: least get cash to be able to pay for your
Speaker 1: switch to the pro controller is now eighty five dollars
Speaker 1: instead of eighty. The switch to DOC is one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty instead of now. Honestly, this is really just
Speaker 1: like privileged, Like if you really need another switch to DOC,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know why you And I guess
Speaker 1: if you have two houses and you need to have
Speaker 1: or you have two rooms and all you want to
Speaker 1: have to do is be able to put the switch
Speaker 1: down in one and then take the switch out and
Speaker 1: not have to remove the dock, I guess whatever. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one hundred and twenty dollars instead of one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten dollars. The joy Cons are now not ninety
Speaker 1: dollars yep, So basically, good lord, no, not ninety ninety
Speaker 1: five dollars. Excuse me? Uh yeah, ridiculous almost basically with
Speaker 1: tax one hundred dollars for if you want any extra
Speaker 1: joy Cons. Yeah yeah, with that family console like that,
Speaker 1: the joy Con two wheelset costs twenty five dollars. Basically
Speaker 1: everything went up five bucks. Essentially, the camera now costs
Speaker 1: fifty five geez. Yeah, So just get ready, just get ready,
Speaker 1: if you are one of those people that are just
Speaker 1: getting rid of all your switch when accessory, you can
Speaker 1: be paying a bunch of money. Maybe don't do that.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 1: You know damn what you can just get for just
Speaker 1: the switch and like a few things, keep some of
Speaker 1: your other things because you get dang man, the price
Speaker 1: on this thing is gonna go quick as farther accessories go.
Speaker 1: Maybe that means more accessories will be available, because you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think the scalper's gonna go nuts for this
Speaker 1: stuff when they know peop aren't going to buy it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll see. Also, thanks to a third party publisher,
Speaker 1: we have now have confirmation completely of what the switch
Speaker 1: To edition key cards are going to be. So according
Speaker 1: to Marvelous, who's doing the Nintendo Switch To edition of
Speaker 1: Room Factory Guardians of a Zuma, the switch To Edition
Speaker 1: is going to be a red remember the switch To editions,
Speaker 1: and the key cards will have the red on top
Speaker 1: of it, yeah instead of the regular right. This is
Speaker 1: going to have a sixty four gigabyte game card that
Speaker 1: includes in full the Nintendo Switch game and the upgrade pack.
Speaker 1: There is no need to download the full game simply
Speaker 1: insert the card into either a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo
Speaker 1: Switch to console, and the correct version will launch automatically.
Speaker 1: So it will be like the series the smart Delivery
Speaker 1: thing for Xbox. You don't have to download anything. It
Speaker 1: will play off the cart you just and it will
Speaker 1: know automatically what system it's in. So that's cool. Does
Speaker 1: that give you that make you wanna buy more physical
Speaker 1: stuff for Switch too? You know if knowing that these
Speaker 1: things have like a smart chip in them or what.
Speaker 2: I said, the first thing they're gonna do is Gami
Speaker 2: slash characters in the switch to and see what happens.
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't like break your act.
Speaker 2: That'll actually like the orbital targeting, and then this will
Speaker 2: just drop to my house or something.
Speaker 1: It's like we found out you put in the splash cart.
Speaker 1: You're going to jail right now?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Hey, look that's cool. I'm I'm very happy for
Speaker 1: the people that love to buy stuff physically. Uh that
Speaker 1: it means that your cart will work as intended. You
Speaker 1: don't have to download something off of the now. Look,
Speaker 1: and not all of them are gonna work that that.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that call of duty whenever it does
Speaker 1: show up on switch is not going to have the
Speaker 1: whole thing on the cart. I'd be very surprised their
Speaker 1: Fantasy seven remake, especially maybe not remake, but especially rebirth.
Speaker 1: Whenever it shows up, it will not be all on
Speaker 1: the cart. Tell you that right now, So just just
Speaker 1: get ready. You will download stuff. But that's cool that
Speaker 1: this does work against supposed just really quick because we
Speaker 1: have something that ties into Doug Bowser Here, Doug Bowser
Speaker 1: answers her question over the concern of no Mario at launch.
Speaker 1: He just says that, look, we have a long, long catalog,
Speaker 1: a long list of IP I'm sure it will make
Speaker 1: us way to the platform. It's coming. We know it's coming.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the June direct ends with Mario,
Speaker 1: now that you know all those launch games or Launch
Speaker 1: Window games will have launched at that point. For the
Speaker 1: most part, he does say that he pretty much expects
Speaker 1: the most, pretty much most Nintendo IP will come over
Speaker 1: to switch to What do you think how long do
Speaker 1: you think do you think for sure it's coming before
Speaker 1: we get out of this year?
Speaker 2: No, no, early next year.
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they got that hot new Donkey Kong and
Speaker 2: Kirby game this year, So.
Speaker 1: Well, Donkey Kong is like what June.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kirby's are at the same time.
Speaker 1: Did they announce their release date for air Rides or
Speaker 1: whatever they working? No, air Rides is not a launch
Speaker 1: game because they didn't even give a release date for
Speaker 1: that thing. The launch game is the uh where the
Speaker 1: Forgotten worlds with the DLC. Okay, yeah, sorry, but I
Speaker 1: mean they don't have that. I think pokeon Pokemon might
Speaker 1: be the only like, uh fall game, and then that's
Speaker 1: it because uh Metros coming like pretty quick after which
Speaker 1: Sea launches. So I'm still gonna go with the bet
Speaker 1: that Mario is a November that's the fall game for
Speaker 1: switch To.
Speaker 2: No, here's one more level, you know, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like here's the switch to edition of Mario Odyssey, and.
Speaker 2: Like here's Mario GPS coordinating or you know doing that
Speaker 2: dumb legend of the crab.
Speaker 1: That would be very disappointing if it was. But you
Speaker 1: know that, the thought is that who's working on it,
Speaker 1: because supposed to the Odyssey team is the one working
Speaker 1: on Donkey Kong Bonanza, even though we don't know officially
Speaker 1: because intend it doesn't like to reveal who's working on games.
Speaker 1: But the idea, the thought is that for sure it
Speaker 1: is the Odyssey team working on Bonanza. So do they
Speaker 1: have another new team working on uh, you know, this
Speaker 1: Mario game or is it like they split the teams
Speaker 1: off or something that would be interesting to note. So,
Speaker 1: you know, there was a comment done by shoe Hey
Speaker 1: Yoshida now that he's you know mom or Sony, he
Speaker 1: can talk right a lot more. You mentioned that he
Speaker 1: feels Nintendo has lost their identity because they are essentially
Speaker 1: just they're doing a switch to like that's not when
Speaker 1: Zeno does, right, They like to innovate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, going on.
Speaker 1: No, I mean what do you do you think he's
Speaker 1: do you think he's right?
Speaker 2: Or yeah, like think about the only time they like
Speaker 2: because I heard Jeff Gerson talking about this like last week.
Speaker 2: He was like talking about like, you know, it seems
Speaker 2: like the Superintendo was just like a better Nintendo like
Speaker 2: back in the day. Yeah, but it's like, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a very iterative or that's a very noticeable step up
Speaker 2: and quality going from eight deck to sixteen bit right
Speaker 2: and then adding you know, uh, four more buttons on
Speaker 2: the controller, you know, And I think the name is bad,
Speaker 2: like the switch to the call. Should have called it
Speaker 2: like the Super Switch, or you know, give it some
Speaker 2: kind of fun name.
Speaker 1: Also, should I mentioned they roped Paul Rudd back from
Speaker 1: those Super Nintendo that was good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should have got Jenny Lewis from The Wizard
Speaker 2: movie as well. But yeah, it's just I mean, the
Speaker 2: probably all the business stuff doesn't help. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: just like just another thing. You know, if you if
Speaker 2: you even if you did like a cursory look at it,
Speaker 2: it's like, this looks like the same the same way
Speaker 2: I just had. I mean, I guess it's bigger, but
Speaker 2: like and then then going like, hey, it'll run Cyberpunk
Speaker 2: and it'll run Final Fantay seven remake.
Speaker 1: It's like, which they've officially announced that Cyberpunk is using DLSS. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we know it is, even though Nvidia has said it.
Speaker 1: Nintendo hasn't officially said those words, but cyber funk is
Speaker 1: or has revealed that they are using it, even though
Speaker 1: you know, we all knew about it at this point.
Speaker 1: But like, that's the funny thing is they said they
Speaker 1: didn't want to call it the Super Nintendo Switch. They
Speaker 1: didn't want to call it the super Switch, because they
Speaker 1: didn't want people to think that it was just a
Speaker 1: upgrade from but you know, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I would rather to call the super switch or
Speaker 2: like the hyper switch or some some nickname or something.
Speaker 2: Then here's a switch to and hey, in seven years
Speaker 2: we'll get to switch three maybe and that'll have it,
Speaker 2: that'll have the raccoon.
Speaker 1: Suit or you know, you know, I could see their
Speaker 1: reasoning with that is because they don't they're so scared
Speaker 1: to have another we U moment right right, Like that.
Speaker 2: Was a that was a like, uh, I mean the
Speaker 2: problem to we you it'siding a lot of other things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it just felt like an add on or you know
Speaker 2: that they didn't position it correctly. But people already know
Speaker 2: what the switch to is going to be, so why
Speaker 2: not give it like a cool sign and name or
Speaker 2: something unique. Then here's this black console or black tablet
Speaker 2: with these black joy coons and no fun allowed to
Speaker 2: print it in the box somewhere like.
Speaker 1: Oh another thing, I forgot to mention the the Ambo
Speaker 1: for a street Fighter. Yeah, those things went up to
Speaker 1: like forty dollars.
Speaker 2: Yep, geez, I know the good reason to have that.
Speaker 2: The Amibo puck thing in the Power Save Puck that
Speaker 2: I got Weakness program to be any Amibo.
Speaker 1: At first, I was kind of surprised that they actually
Speaker 1: made the amibo, like that thing is going to actually
Speaker 1: work with a mebo. I thought that they you know,
Speaker 1: the rumors were at the beginning that they didn't have
Speaker 1: the MP the NFC technology or whatever in it. Right,
Speaker 1: But that's cool that they have brought it back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but for what reason? Like only so few games.
Speaker 1: Because they want to sell they want to sell mebo
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't do. I mean, it's even less
Speaker 2: than like Skylanders or Disney like even like the nintended
Speaker 2: to use a nebos, like use them so badly, like
Speaker 2: no Wonder, no Wonder people. I mean, if you were smart,
Speaker 2: got to think I got that weird Bootsy power disc things.
Speaker 2: You can just say, any nebo do it? Yeah, because
Speaker 2: they're so it's so bad. It's like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: give you it's a mean though, is even like somewhat
Speaker 2: posable maybe, but it's just like a figure. It's like, okay,
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that, but I feel buy them
Speaker 1: just to have a collection. Yeah, Okay, Nintendo made these
Speaker 1: things that I want to have them all.
Speaker 2: They are the kings of making. You got to catch
Speaker 2: them all.
Speaker 1: So I had the Pikachi one somewhere.
Speaker 2: I mean I have like three or four of them,
Speaker 2: and it pissed me off. I actually spent like seventy
Speaker 2: bucks on one, and then like a month later they
Speaker 2: re released it. So, yeah, fuck you.
Speaker 1: I thought about that for this. That don't Blade two one.
Speaker 2: Mine Mine was the on the Joker one.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah but you Oh so you end up paying
Speaker 1: like seventy bucks for that thing then they re release it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh wow, I'm sorry. Yep, So I should have mentioned
Speaker 1: that this was so when Shuehey was on the Easy Allies,
Speaker 1: he did he did the actual like reaction stream with
Speaker 1: the min Max folks. Then he went on Easy Allies
Speaker 1: to do kind of like a reaction thing on there,
Speaker 1: and that's where he said this quote where he says
Speaker 1: to me, uh, the Nintendo switch to announcement direct was
Speaker 1: a mixed message from Nintendo, and I think I think
Speaker 1: Nintendo's losing their identity in my opinion. For me, they
Speaker 1: were always about creating some new experience, like designing hardware
Speaker 1: and games together to create something an amazing new experience.
Speaker 1: But switch to, as we all anticipate, is a better switch.
Speaker 1: It's larger screen, more powerful, and because it's a better switch,
Speaker 1: this core promise of the whole switch too is we
Speaker 1: made things better, and that's something other companies have been
Speaker 1: doing all the time.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I you know, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if I completely agree with that that last part,
Speaker 2: but yeah, like what's new, but switch to? What has
Speaker 2: you excited? Well?
Speaker 1: The mouse controls, right, that is kind of innovative. What
Speaker 1: let's see if anybody comes up with something cool with that.
Speaker 2: You know, no one will. I mean even that basketball
Speaker 2: game looks looks bad.
Speaker 1: Okay, that looks terrible. But honestly, you know, there's two
Speaker 1: games that are uh one of them was shown at
Speaker 1: that Galaxy showcase from the talk about it a little
Speaker 1: bit later, and then they just showed it at the
Speaker 1: Triple I showcase a rematch. There's two games that already
Speaker 1: are doing that way better.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then this thing is only dealing with mouse controls,
Speaker 1: and that that's somebody recipe for for just you, I
Speaker 1: mean Dumpster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of have a decent gaming laptop and
Speaker 2: when you play game time it do you prefer to
Speaker 2: play with a mouse and keyboard or a game pad.
Speaker 1: I always play with the controller, but that's because I
Speaker 1: don't like playing. I'm not used to playing on PC
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 3: I'm not a wave like okay, but even like you know,
Speaker 3: I think has been a mouse on like you know,
Speaker 3: your desk or that's one thing, but like then they're high.
Speaker 2: They're high idea like you can use the mouse in
Speaker 2: your on your leg, you know, the rooftop party. It's like,
Speaker 2: no one's going to do this, are you guys high?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I don't know that in a multiplayer setting.
Speaker 1: I think maybe Mario Party using as a gimmick is
Speaker 1: fine to play some of the games right, to add
Speaker 1: some kind of more fun in there. I think Metro
Speaker 1: Prime having that as an ultimate way to play if
Speaker 1: you like to do keyboard mouse, which I could see
Speaker 1: them doing a USB where you could plug in a
Speaker 1: USB keyboard eventually if you want.
Speaker 2: But I mean, if it comes onime to that, just
Speaker 2: really release a goddamn game on scheme, you know, well,
Speaker 2: you know, tell for forty dollars or something and be like, hey,
Speaker 2: he's trying to play metroc Prime for it is a
Speaker 2: keyboard and mouse. Here you go but like the problem
Speaker 2: with the mount with their version of the mouse, also
Speaker 2: it has no inherent dead own right. And you know
Speaker 2: the table at your desk is one thing, because you
Speaker 2: know it's a solid object that you don't right. But
Speaker 2: like you're taking the mouse, you're going to your doc.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine you're going to your doctor's office, which
Speaker 2: I switched to sitting in sitting in an intersection area
Speaker 2: and then busting out both joy cons for mouse controls
Speaker 2: for Metroid prime for you're stupid, You're gonna look.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean no, but hold on, nobody unless you're
Speaker 1: like a kid, nobody's doing that, like you know, I mean, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not so okay, I pulled out my switch and
Speaker 1: I would get made fun of because you know, different
Speaker 1: culture here. Uh that's you.
Speaker 2: Know, not the mouse part.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pull I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna pull the mouse part out. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: that right now. I'm not doing that in a public place.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. And I don't think any outside
Speaker 1: of the park. If I went to the park for
Speaker 1: some reason to play my switch to which you know
Speaker 1: that was a big deal with the switch win reveal.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that either. I'm just saying at my
Speaker 1: house if I wanted to, if it's the way you
Speaker 1: play the game, whether I'm playing on my TV or
Speaker 1: I'm playing tabletop or whatever, whatever, I'll use it if
Speaker 1: the game is good enough. Right, I'm not gonna play
Speaker 1: I might play Metro Prime that way if I was
Speaker 1: reviewing it or something, just to see what it's like.
Speaker 1: But I don't play games with mouse and keyboard that much.
Speaker 1: I'm not a good use case for it. I do
Speaker 1: know a lot of people that they love playing games
Speaker 1: off PC. I could see how this is cool. I
Speaker 1: could see how a strategy game works for that, right,
Speaker 1: Like I could see how SIB seven you want to
Speaker 1: play that with a mouse and keyboard because you're used
Speaker 1: to that, right, It does open and endo.
Speaker 2: Up for You're not going to play SIVE seven on
Speaker 2: the switch to on the.
Speaker 1: Go, And well you might, but even if you are
Speaker 1: at that point, you're using controls. You know I'm not.
Speaker 2: And then also like what you know five seven came
Speaker 2: to PS five and Xbox, Like, what do you think
Speaker 2: the breakdown is of sales for that game? Between Steam
Speaker 2: or you know, PC slash Steam, PS five and Xbox.
Speaker 1: Well switch one also.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm still going to go ninety five. I'm PC
Speaker 2: and the other five percent divided up between the other
Speaker 2: four consoles or three consoles, I would say.
Speaker 1: More like name, but switch is probably way down on
Speaker 1: the switch is like one percent, like the only people
Speaker 1: that that have that or I only all want to
Speaker 1: switch one and that's it.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, and those those people aren't SID fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree that they're not. No, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: my thing is he's right in a sense. He's right
Speaker 1: in a sense that Okay, this is not overly innovative.
Speaker 1: But Nintendo does this with their number two with their
Speaker 1: two consoles, right super Nintendo from the ny S, the
Speaker 1: S and E s to the sixty fourths of the GameCube,
Speaker 1: now switch one to switch to DS to three DS.
Speaker 1: This is what they do, right. They don't have a
Speaker 1: real like they are still even though the Steam deck
Speaker 1: is out there and the rag ally and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: all that stuff is still niche compared to the switch one. Okay,
Speaker 1: so until they are no longer the dominant. And that's
Speaker 1: the problem with the Nintendo has right now, right, is
Speaker 1: that they did the smart thing which we I think
Speaker 1: everybody in the world can agree that the smart thing
Speaker 1: was we have to combine our handheld market and our
Speaker 1: console market, because nobody is going to get to the
Speaker 1: point where people are not gonna buy both anywhere, right
Speaker 1: unless Nintendo did something like remember what somebody did with
Speaker 1: the with the portal, Right.
Speaker 2: Remember when the switch one got announced and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: this three d istilling important.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's because at that point they don't know
Speaker 1: that it's a switch one, it's going to be amazing
Speaker 1: or not. But now that it now that it took
Speaker 1: the world by storm, sold one hundred and fifty million consoles,
Speaker 1: they kind of owe it to everybody, they even know
Speaker 1: it to themselves to continue that trend, especially when you're
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, be Disney and have a Nintendo
Speaker 1: World and have Nintendo Movies and have all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep being successful with your console. So I
Speaker 1: don't and honestly, like, what else is there to innovate on?
Speaker 1: What else is there to including a console with it?
Speaker 2: I should have get a idea for that. Remember the
Speaker 2: Samsung Gear VR. Yeah, do something like that.
Speaker 1: But who's okay, the masses don't want VR.
Speaker 2: No, but if you if you included if you Nintendo
Speaker 2: released like you know dr right, well, i'd have to
Speaker 2: be more substantial than some piece of shitty cardboard, like
Speaker 2: how you do have it like you know, be plastic
Speaker 2: or be durable. But imagine it's if it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: every game has a VR mode and you can use
Speaker 2: it how you want. If they want to have like
Speaker 2: special VR options, it's one thing. But if you just
Speaker 2: want to have it, you know, playing the game with
Speaker 2: a big ass screen in front of your eyes, into
Speaker 2: the wast from your eyes, go at it.
Speaker 1: But then you also have to introduce the VR peral,
Speaker 1: right to be able to the what sorry you have
Speaker 1: to use you have to then announce a separate VR
Speaker 1: peripheral that isn't either included in the with the system
Speaker 1: or doesn't cost two hundred right.
Speaker 2: Well, no, you put in you put the switch into
Speaker 2: this thing basically like a plastic shroud for the for
Speaker 2: the switch to like right in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2: Like that's that's what the gear VR was. Basically, It's
Speaker 2: just like here's this plastic thing you slide your phone into.
Speaker 1: But you would think that Sonny would have done that, but.
Speaker 2: It Sonny doesn't have a handheld device.
Speaker 1: I mean, right, but you would think that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: Sony's next thing would be, let's tie They're not thinking
Speaker 1: about tying VR to the PlayStation six right. If anything,
Speaker 1: they're thinking about tying a handheld again, which they stopped doing.
Speaker 2: That's because Sony, you need the PS five the hard Like, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the PSVR is basically like a few screens, and it
Speaker 2: means all the processing power from you know, the PS
Speaker 2: five make it work. The switch, it's the screen literally
Speaker 2: is the processing power. So yeah, it's a lot easier
Speaker 2: and you just use the joy cons and play games
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 1: I just think that that's a cool novelty.
Speaker 2: I just suppose.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that gaming is ever going to become.
Speaker 1: We can want the ready player one thing all we want,
Speaker 1: but I just I don't think it's going to ever
Speaker 1: become that. If it was, there'd be way more people
Speaker 1: buying in the VR.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's bigger than it was when the psv R
Speaker 1: one came out. And I understand Medicquest with that wireless
Speaker 1: you know, with the medic Quest three that they're on
Speaker 1: now is selling decently, even though they've taken hits recently
Speaker 1: because they haven't been selling like they were. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea in theory. I just
Speaker 1: don't beyond that, like what else. That's the problem that
Speaker 1: all the other consoles have right now is it's all
Speaker 1: diminishing returns. It's all does it really look? Does the
Speaker 1: PS five actually look a million times better than the
Speaker 1: PS four?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Yes, I pro yes does right, But so does the PC,
Speaker 1: which a lot more people are just going to buying
Speaker 1: PCs at this point. And I think that's also.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: PC is where we're seeing growth more than the consoles, right.
Speaker 2: Because he is also where you expected to spend two
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in a video card. Right.
Speaker 1: But the thing that's cool with PC is that once
Speaker 1: you spend the whatever it is you're going to spend,
Speaker 1: you can play those games for a while, and then
Speaker 1: it gets to a certain point where there's a certain category.
Speaker 1: You won't be able to play the most brand new,
Speaker 1: amazing games after a while, but you'll be able to
Speaker 1: play a certain level of game for as long as
Speaker 1: you own that PC U and you know, until you
Speaker 1: f grade then whatever. But yeah, it's and also that's
Speaker 1: where a lot of a lot of the highest number
Speaker 1: of sales happen on people, right, and people are starting
Speaker 1: to kind of become connizant of that, especially not Nintendo.
Speaker 1: That never, if they do sales, it's all third party.
Speaker 1: You might have one first party game in the entire
Speaker 1: lineup of a sale, and the only time that they
Speaker 1: do a sale which they consider a sale is like
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks off on Black Friday, and that's it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So like my original I guess I deal with this
Speaker 1: is that I do think shoe Hay is right in
Speaker 1: an instance, and that yes, this is very unlike Nintendo.
Speaker 1: Just do the next thing, promote how powerful it is,
Speaker 1: talk about al it does one hundred and twenty fps.
Speaker 1: And they still didn't go full boar with it, right
Speaker 1: They They still said, Okay, if somebody wants to hear
Speaker 1: about the specs of the console, we're not talking about it.
Speaker 1: You can go over to video or whatever. We may
Speaker 1: not know at all from Nintendo ever about those specs.
Speaker 1: That that's going to come when people actually get the
Speaker 1: hardware and break it down and all that kind of
Speaker 1: stuff whatever, and we'll find out what kind of chip
Speaker 1: it has and what it does and all that stuff
Speaker 1: and digital foundery those O that stuff, and I kind
Speaker 1: of understand that, but I do think that kind of
Speaker 1: they are trying something with the mouse controls. Let's see
Speaker 1: if that ever pans out. It could just be like
Speaker 1: that hc rumble where it was like nothing who cares, right,
Speaker 1: And you know, they did do some innovative stuff like
Speaker 1: ring fit Lavo didn't catch on that they wanted to,
Speaker 1: And this is just the launch of the castle, right,
Speaker 1: they could have some other stuff planned out that that
Speaker 1: we don't know about yet to do with the mouse
Speaker 1: controls or with something else. So I just yeah, gone,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think that they're kind of
Speaker 1: like stuck in a situation where they had to do
Speaker 1: switch to so.
Speaker 2: My VR thing, my VR idea, they should. They should
Speaker 2: release that headset thing I was talking about and called
Speaker 2: the Virtual Boy too.
Speaker 1: Except to have colors this time that like red and
Speaker 1: black and exactly you know you're seeing. Just that was.
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, not at the same time,
Speaker 2: mind you, But when I was a kid, I had
Speaker 2: two different Virtual Boys.
Speaker 1: I had an uncle that had one. I played Mario
Speaker 1: Tennis on it, I think, and that's the only.
Speaker 2: Thing I ever ever playing on that I have like
Speaker 2: Mario Tennis and then read alert and I was.
Speaker 1: Like okay, yep, and I remember going and okay, this
Speaker 1: is cool. I don't want to have my face shoved
Speaker 1: in this thing constantly, and I stopped playing it.
Speaker 2: I used mine laying down and that team worked really well.
Speaker 1: That's how I played it too, was laying down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you did n't your desk, you know, no.
Speaker 1: No, it's sitting down. Didn't that work? I had to
Speaker 1: have it like on the floor, laying down of my
Speaker 1: belly and playing right. But but yeah, I mean, what
Speaker 1: do you get? What is anybody watching listening later? What
Speaker 1: do you all think? Do you think Nintendo had no choice?
Speaker 1: They they couldn't innovate this time? Hey, right, like.
Speaker 2: You know, they're a victim of their own success. But
Speaker 2: also like yeah, I think the them just going like
Speaker 2: here's another switch and it has you know, thirty more
Speaker 2: processing power or age percent or whatever, and games that
Speaker 2: came out five years ago can run this thing now.
Speaker 2: It's like cool, Uh what else you got? You know? Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, here's the thing I know that like if
Speaker 2: you get a switch to I can one percent guarantee
Speaker 2: you're gonna get fund of fantasy seven integrated for it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not because as much
Speaker 1: as I would love to play like Remake and Rebirth,
Speaker 1: which I probably will play them before when we when
Speaker 1: we once we know when part three is coming, I'm
Speaker 1: not spending seventy dollars on a game. Way See, here's
Speaker 1: the problem. Here's the problem with with switch to and
Speaker 1: knowing the games are gonna be full price at launch
Speaker 1: and they're probably not gonna come down for a while.
Speaker 1: Is I'm not paying full price for a game that
Speaker 1: you can find for like what forty or twenty bucks
Speaker 1: or less on PSI right now, Like I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: Games cost too much money right now. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: that anymore. I It is one thing to buy a
Speaker 1: twenty dollars version of Fall Fantasy seven again on multiple
Speaker 1: consoles or whatever. I'm not doing that for a sixty
Speaker 1: seventy dollars game.
Speaker 2: Like you know, if you saved that money, you would
Speaker 2: have more money to his switch too.
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago. I would have been
Speaker 1: spent on something else. What are you talking about? But no, honestly,
Speaker 1: I do I do think that, Like my issue with
Speaker 1: Nintendo is is more about losing personality, not so much,
Speaker 1: it's the they feel very corporate, and Doug Bowser emphasizes
Speaker 1: that that's why I have him in the picture of
Speaker 1: the thumbnail very much emphasizes like, we are very corporate.
Speaker 1: This is what we do. We decide the price. We
Speaker 1: talked about this, talk about that we don't have that
Speaker 1: personality anymore. Just like that you lost with the WATA
Speaker 1: and Reggie unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Kind of clean up Reggie and get him back back
Speaker 2: in the saddle.
Speaker 1: It's duck. It's like even even Reggie talking about Like
Speaker 1: I was watching that Playing with Power documentary that's on
Speaker 1: Amazon that goes through the whole history of Nintendo, and
Speaker 1: they actually do a really good job of talking about
Speaker 1: like how Sega and Sony as well, and when they
Speaker 1: were competing, you know, competing with them, and Reggie's on there,
Speaker 1: and like I was like, man, I miss him talking
Speaker 1: about Nintendo, Like I miss the way he does it,
Speaker 1: that the way he can make you dude, Like even
Speaker 1: when he's like super serious talking about we you and
Speaker 1: like you could tell that like he doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lot to go on here.
Speaker 2: It's still Yeah, I don't think Reggie, like I don't
Speaker 2: think Reggie is like ever a quote unquote gamer, but
Speaker 2: the same way I don't think like you know, Sean
Speaker 2: Laden was either from Sony, but like they can make
Speaker 2: you believe in their product and the people they have
Speaker 2: now on pretty much all sides don't do that for yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, and he doesn't have you know, they have
Speaker 2: Doug Bobser, but he sucks.
Speaker 1: And he's like dog Bos is great to go talk
Speaker 1: to CNN and CNBC and all that stuff, right, talk
Speaker 1: to the business people, but he's not great to talk
Speaker 1: to the gamers. Is why he normally doesn't. He doesn't
Speaker 1: come out there, and he's not on the Nintendo directs, right,
Speaker 1: I mean it's all done with the Japanese the same reason.
Speaker 2: Why, like you know that one direct I think that
Speaker 2: Nintendo did like six well a decade ago with the Muppets. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like that that was such a like fun and funny
Speaker 2: thing that they did, you know Reggie, uh you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: and like two of those guys are gone and the
Speaker 2: other guy, I mean, he's not very tired, but he's
Speaker 2: so like way up the echelon.
Speaker 1: He's just got his mind on other things, right, He's
Speaker 1: he's doing the other parts of Nintendo. He's doing the
Speaker 1: Mario the Nintendo World, he's doing the Maria movie, he's
Speaker 1: doing you know, the Mario two movie. You know, he's
Speaker 1: doing all the other stuff, right, the Nintendo app whatever,
Speaker 1: and you know he's not developed anymore. So it's right.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the.
Speaker 2: Fact that like doesn't want people to like know who's
Speaker 2: making their games, it's like weird, like extra weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's also right, It's yeah, it just it's it's
Speaker 1: just kind of sad to see that a little bit.
Speaker 1: And that's the part that it's an issue with me.
Speaker 1: As far as they definitely do want to see more
Speaker 1: grown up, it feels like with this iteration switch right, right,
Speaker 1: they want to appeal to the hardcore gamer. Obviously still
Speaker 1: have things for kids, right, but it did, and and families.
Speaker 1: Obviously the game chat thing is also them trying to,
Speaker 1: you know, say that you can do that with your family,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But it's just like it
Speaker 1: does feel like some of that identity is lost. We
Speaker 1: are now just another one of these consoles, but you
Speaker 1: can it's handheld. It will be very interesting what happens
Speaker 1: when if Xbox Sony come out with their systems and
Speaker 1: they there, and a part of them is also essentially
Speaker 1: a switch, but it's got Sony branding or Xbox branding
Speaker 1: on it. Will that force Nintendo to once again have
Speaker 1: to feel like, Okay, we've done all we can here,
Speaker 1: let's move on to something else. I do wonder if
Speaker 1: there's gonna be always some version of the switch, because
Speaker 1: they have to have that handheld part because they are
Speaker 1: Nintendo and they have to have the game Boy essentially
Speaker 1: something part of that. Right, Maybe the switch then becomes
Speaker 1: the switch will be able to play those games, but
Speaker 1: if you want to play the best version, it's whatever.
Speaker 2: This other thing that's what That's what they should have
Speaker 2: called the switch one instead of calling switches. Should call
Speaker 2: it the game Boy six. And could the game Boy
Speaker 2: seven with the switch to start going to you think
Speaker 2: five is advanced out the game Boy nine?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they call it. They could have called it the
Speaker 1: switch advanced right, right, all right, But that's that's enough
Speaker 1: of that. You guys leave what you think in your comments,
Speaker 1: whether you're defense Nintendo on that. Also, I think the
Speaker 1: variable pricing thing is also very it's very corporate from them,
Speaker 1: all right. So another big thing that happened in the
Speaker 1: week previously is Respawn and bit Reactor got to reveal
Speaker 1: during the Star Wars celebration that Zero Company the Star
Speaker 1: Wars strategy game, which is set to release in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six or PC, PlayStation five and Xbox Series X
Speaker 1: and S. I wonder if that will come to switch
Speaker 1: to at some point. What did you think? They They
Speaker 1: showed off a two minute trailer and then they they
Speaker 1: had a panel that was done by Lucy James from Gainspot.
Speaker 1: She was MCing it and they had various spel from
Speaker 1: various parts of somebody from Respawn, Kobe were from bit Reactor,
Speaker 1: and then some folks from somebody from EA and also
Speaker 1: from Lucasfilm. Right, what did you think from what we saw?
Speaker 2: I didn't watch the panel, but I did watch the
Speaker 2: trailer and, like one or two of the news stories
Speaker 2: about it, the game itself looks fine, you know. It
Speaker 2: looks like Star Wars x coom, you know, with like
Speaker 2: slightly more actually bent to it, but you can still
Speaker 2: recognizing a lot of the excamps in it. My problem is,
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck about the Clone Wars, and
Speaker 2: more to the point, I'm really tired of Star Wars
Speaker 2: being in this very narrow seventy year period, and I
Speaker 2: know the Acolyte was like one hundred years before Star Wars,
Speaker 2: but like on episode one, episode nine, it's like seventy
Speaker 2: years and everything takes place in that seventy year period,
Speaker 2: and I'm tired of it. I want them to move
Speaker 2: the hell forward. And I know that stupid uh Ryan
Speaker 2: Gosling movie is supposed to be, like oh it's a
Speaker 2: few months later after episode nine. It's like, how about
Speaker 2: like ten years later or you know, one hundred, Like
Speaker 2: why are we sitting so tied to this?
Speaker 1: Because you know they want to do episode ten and
Speaker 1: do whatever right after what happened there, even though they
Speaker 1: said they're not done with that, they're done with the
Speaker 1: Skywalkers or whatever. They be done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my point. It's like, yo, Darth Vader are
Speaker 2: gonna show up in this thing? My magic Eth Paul
Speaker 2: says yes, because he shows up and everything. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, it's just there have been long debates, but
Speaker 2: like which is better Star Trek or Star Wars? And
Speaker 2: you can debate the quality, but like from a moving forward,
Speaker 2: the fiction forward aspect, it's clearly Star Trek because Star
Speaker 2: Wars is still mired in the seventies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that the TV shows have been good
Speaker 1: to do things and move things.
Speaker 2: Hey, I you know Alex Mandalorian, because it's very at
Speaker 2: least attempted, at least the first season. He's like not
Speaker 2: part of Star Wars at all, and they've only been
Speaker 2: in like you know, Loop Skywalker and a Soak and
Speaker 2: all that crap into it like later on. But like
Speaker 2: and I've heard a hand or sign, but like, it's
Speaker 2: still a prequel of a prequel that I don't care
Speaker 2: about in the first place.
Speaker 1: So I know how this ends, right, fair enough, to
Speaker 1: be fair, it is a standalone story of it's set
Speaker 1: in some deep thing within the Clone Wars, right, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 2: It's just I just think Star Wars it's just so limiting.
Speaker 2: It's like I want they could be telling so many
Speaker 2: cool and unique stories. Like I still think the best
Speaker 2: Star Wars thing, from like a story perspective is still
Speaker 2: Go to War because that was like literally thousands of
Speaker 2: years before Star Wars, and it told a familiar but
Speaker 2: wholly unique story.
Speaker 1: Even have remember when they were gonna do uh at
Speaker 1: one point they were going to do an older Republic movie. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that.
Speaker 2: Like all Star Wars movies that fell apart, because that's
Speaker 2: of course.
Speaker 1: It's just it's like they're so scared to do anything
Speaker 1: that they might possibly do a movie about at.
Speaker 2: Some that's right, you know, them going like, oh, the
Speaker 2: Ryan Gossing movie takes place a few months later after
Speaker 2: episode nine. It's like, no, make it like one hundred
Speaker 2: years later and then think about how much how much
Speaker 2: of the future you can mine from that, as opposed
Speaker 2: to our game takes place in seventeen bby and you
Speaker 2: know the sequel takes place in sixteen bby. We're gonna
Speaker 2: catch up to the battle battle ag Yeah, and eventually sure,
Speaker 2: so right, but.
Speaker 1: The game play looked good. You know, you can fully
Speaker 1: customize your party with various different uh you know, races
Speaker 1: of different Star Wars characters. They did have different Star
Speaker 1: Wars characters in that trailer.
Speaker 2: I just I just want to have like a HUT
Speaker 2: character and haven't taken off like half the battlefield. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I could totally see this thing getting like DLC with
Speaker 1: different characters. That's not in the game.
Speaker 2: Eventually, You're not you're not thinking enough. Not even different characters,
Speaker 2: it's different skins that too. You can unlock what's his name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna Lockland, you lock Anakin, and.
Speaker 2: You can un lock Lando. But here he is from
Speaker 2: Solo and then here he is all old you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah man, you know of course it's ea bro.
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get you know, they're gonna do
Speaker 1: this all they can.
Speaker 2: Older Orlando from episode nine.
Speaker 1: But no, I do think it's cool. Like, has there
Speaker 1: ever been a Star Wars tax game? The I think
Speaker 1: like this is.
Speaker 2: Not strategy games were not specifically tactics. Okay, I think
Speaker 2: it's called The Empire at War. It was an old
Speaker 2: PT game. But I was like, it's basically StarCraft, you
Speaker 2: know Star Wars guys.
Speaker 1: Right, So it's like, yeah, this is kind of it's
Speaker 1: this exists right, Like it's not something I would have
Speaker 1: thought Disney would sign off on. So because it's not
Speaker 1: a sexy game, right, this is not a sexy game.
Speaker 1: It's not a game. It's like somebody sees the game
Speaker 1: plan goes, oh my god, I'm want to play that. Right,
Speaker 1: the whole thing looks cool. So you see the game
Speaker 1: plan and it's like, oh, okay, this is a this
Speaker 1: is a strategy game, all right.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine this being like a lot of money
Speaker 2: if you can probably use a bunch of assets for
Speaker 2: maps and stuff. And also their last two sexy games,
Speaker 2: which would be Jedi Phone Order two, Uh, Star Wars
Speaker 2: Outlaws didn't exactly sell.
Speaker 1: That well Outlaws not ea, but yes.
Speaker 2: I mean Disney perpective.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jen Sarva two did well enough that they Greenland
Speaker 1: Survivor three. I guess that's something. But yeah, it probably
Speaker 1: didn't sell well enough that they felt like they had
Speaker 1: to go back and make the old console versions or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I could see this if you really like these
Speaker 1: kind of games. I could see this being a thing. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people like that. I don't
Speaker 1: remember what the name of it is, that Marble one right,
Speaker 1: they didn't get Yeah, they came out like a terrible time, and.
Speaker 2: You know that was like not a tactics game because
Speaker 2: it had like that weird deck building happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the deck building. Yeah, but I mean it's still
Speaker 1: like for Axis right doing it, or you had those
Speaker 1: devs so you had it's kind of similar to this.
Speaker 1: We have people that have experienced different things doing this game.
Speaker 1: They seem to really they they talked a million times
Speaker 1: on that panel about how they're all Star Wars fans
Speaker 1: and they all I want to see this succeed and
Speaker 1: do well, we'll see. They got a whole year. It's
Speaker 1: sometimes twenty twenty six doesn't even have a whole time frame,
Speaker 1: so we'll see when it comes out. Yeah, people are
Speaker 1: still waiting on if we're going to hear anything about
Speaker 1: the Culture remake or some other you know, a few
Speaker 1: other games that they're in the pipeline where as Star
Speaker 1: Wars goes. So but cool that we got to see
Speaker 1: this at least yep. But all right, a few more things,
Speaker 1: just really quick, since we're talking about you know, the
Speaker 1: Galaxy Far Far Away as we'll call talk about Galaxies
Speaker 1: showcase here. Look, there wasn't this was It's a new
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're a company, like a new
Speaker 1: publishing partner or what they are doing it, but this
Speaker 1: was brand new for this year. It's not you know,
Speaker 1: like some of the other ones that have done it
Speaker 1: in the past. So it was kind of interesting when
Speaker 1: I saw this, I was like, is this a video
Speaker 1: game show grease or what is this supposed to be?
Speaker 1: You know, so kind of the big there. This is
Speaker 1: all indies by the way, it's not you know, any
Speaker 1: like big third party publisher in here, but so some
Speaker 1: of the bigger things that they had to hear. Konami
Speaker 1: was in here publishing a remaster or I don't know
Speaker 1: what this is, or like a new version of Lily's
Speaker 1: World XD, which was like a nineties style like early
Speaker 1: web detective game with like all the like nineties looking
Speaker 1: PC web surfing stuff in it, so that looked kind
Speaker 1: of interesting. Great Player Obscure had another trailer, a new trailer.
Speaker 1: Paint Killer had a new game from Savor and nine
Speaker 1: and three D Rooms which is just like absolutely just
Speaker 1: doom dooming it up with different weapons and stuff, which
Speaker 1: looked cool. Powerwash Simulator too got a trailer with the
Speaker 1: devs talking about different new stuff that's going to be
Speaker 1: in the game. There's a Demon School got a new
Speaker 1: trailer as well. There's a swat game that's going to
Speaker 1: be only on PS five. An Xbox series called Ready
Speaker 1: or Not It comes out next year that looked really
Speaker 1: cool as well. An awesome game that comes out May
Speaker 1: twenty second called Deliver at All Costs, which literally just
Speaker 1: had people that or like delivery drivers with different like
Speaker 1: old cars like crashing into each other at different points.
Speaker 1: It looked I was like, okay, I was definitely missing
Speaker 1: a game like this where you're just crashing into shit.
Speaker 1: There's a Neon Abyss two that got a trailer. There's
Speaker 1: this cool, cool game. I don't know if it's been
Speaker 1: shown before, so I apologize if it's been shown before.
Speaker 1: I did not watch that whole I'm sorry. But like,
Speaker 1: I love the Mix Showcase now that they kind of
Speaker 1: do it with kind of funny and stuff, but Jesus,
Speaker 1: I can't with like the three hour showcase thing, Like
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's something you have to like watch
Speaker 1: little by little and it's after like the first thirty
Speaker 1: minutes and I find out it's like three hours. I
Speaker 1: can't too much. But there's this game it's called Unbeatable,
Speaker 1: and essentially it's like looks like an anime. It's a
Speaker 1: side scrolling game with rhythm beat up gameplay and an
Speaker 1: original soundtrack, and it's like the music is illegal, so
Speaker 1: you're doing crimes because you're trying to I guess legalize
Speaker 1: their music. And then when you get into battles, it's
Speaker 1: like all done with like rhythm based gameplay, and it
Speaker 1: looked awesome. So yeah, they did show the FBC firebreak
Speaker 1: in here. It had a cool trailer in there, and
Speaker 1: then this is where they announced the live stream that's
Speaker 1: happening on the twenty fourth. The game that I mentioned
Speaker 1: is called Vector Strike, which is essentially it looks exactly
Speaker 1: like Rocket League, but they do handball and like there's
Speaker 1: some like robotic arms or whatever that have like powers
Speaker 1: that are pushing the ball into the net. But it
Speaker 1: still looks better than whatever that thing was, the wheelchair
Speaker 1: game that's on switch right. And then also you got
Speaker 1: slow Cap doing Rematch, which is essentially soccer doing Rocket League,
Speaker 1: which looks better than both games. So you know, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like that wheelchair basketball thing is not great. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a pixel art fishing minigame, a fishing RPG called
Speaker 1: Nice Day for Fishing that looked cool. In this I
Speaker 1: was like, literally, they'll come up with anything. They showed
Speaker 1: another trailer for that fine gung Fu game that looked
Speaker 1: neat that they've shown at other showcases as well. There's
Speaker 1: a hacking game that look kind of looks like Hotline Miami,
Speaker 1: but you're hacking the kills instead. It's called dead Wire.
Speaker 1: That comes out. And then the game that did the
Speaker 1: one more thing with was the new game from Allegian
Speaker 1: Studios which has like x Doom and cod devs called Covenant,
Speaker 1: and it's in first person and it kind of looks
Speaker 1: like not medieval but like dark fantasy, I guess, with
Speaker 1: different weapons and stuff, not just guns. So yeah, some
Speaker 1: some neat stuff in there. Uh, it's only an hour. Also,
Speaker 1: if you're like one of those I likes to watch
Speaker 1: these things, it's kind of worth checking out. There's other
Speaker 1: games that I didn't mention, but you know, you can
Speaker 1: go check those out on one of those Yeah.
Speaker 2: I never heard heard of the the show until you
Speaker 2: mentioned it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They did it on Thursday, and it was kind of like, what, okay,
Speaker 1: this is a thing. Cool. Yeah, uh, just to get
Speaker 1: into Xbox for a little bit here. They didn't announce
Speaker 1: what's coming to Game Pass, which oh I didn't mention that.
Speaker 1: I did play Timpopo for a little bit. But if
Speaker 1: you like puzzle games and okay, so think about it
Speaker 1: like Captain Toad. If Captain Toad was a puzzle game,
Speaker 1: because essentially it's like you have to use there's like
Speaker 1: it gives you a certain number of squares that you
Speaker 1: have to figure out what goes and eat square so
Speaker 1: that the little pink puffball thing will won't fall down,
Speaker 1: it will go through and complete the level for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're like constructing the puzzle because you're the conductor.
Speaker 1: The little girl as the conductor, you're essentially conducting the
Speaker 1: music so the little tempopo things can go and complete
Speaker 1: the puzzle. I played like fifteen levels of that thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty good for a game pass game, Like
Speaker 1: if you like puzzle games. It's not Blueprints or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's the whole other side of the spectrum. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good that's been out there. Also, you know again,
Speaker 1: Cleibscier comes out in twenty fourth, got Tower Born, which
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited to try. That out comes down
Speaker 1: the twenty ninth on game Pass as well, Game Pass Ultimate,
Speaker 1: and then you get far Cry four, which they had
Speaker 1: Far Cry five last month, So I guess you'd be
Speaker 1: off to just like starting to unload old games into it. Uh,
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred comes out on May first, the first drop
Speaker 1: of an old Call of Duty game. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: MONA War for three was the first one. Monta war
Speaker 1: for two is now coming to game Pass on May first,
Speaker 1: and then Dredge comes on May sixth, uh, and definitely
Speaker 1: check out Dredge. You've not played that game, go play that.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's survival horror fishing and you will get addicted,
Speaker 1: So go play that. And then also just a shout
Speaker 1: out to some stuff. Leaving Thirsty Shooters is leaving Snaper
Speaker 1: Elite five, which they have the new DLC or the
Speaker 1: new game on there, so you don't necessarily need Snapper.
Speaker 2: Leap five.
Speaker 1: Have a nice death which I reviewed and it's a
Speaker 1: decent One of those rogue legs is leaping over. I
Speaker 1: meant to mention that wh you're talking about Indiana Jones,
Speaker 1: but Phil Spencer has officially said that they do see
Speaker 1: Life in Indiana Jones as a gaming franchise. He mentions
Speaker 1: that beyond Xbox and a PC and a master for
Speaker 1: four million players, at one point, it's now just really
Speaker 1: some p S five. You're playing it, show there's other
Speaker 1: people playing it. Disney had supposedly talked about green lighting
Speaker 1: a second game.
Speaker 2: So sure, yeah, why not.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna You've gotten through three Level three worlds,
Speaker 1: so you know, that's a positive for them. Uh did
Speaker 1: you see that.
Speaker 2: They based you just say, based on young Indiana Jones
Speaker 2: instead though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Did you see that they finally
Speaker 1: after all this stuff feels like every week we've been
Speaker 1: talking about the Oblivion remake, but that it's not going
Speaker 1: to have uh their own lives, the own like announcement
Speaker 1: stream right tomorrow or today whenever you're watcheeing this, I
Speaker 1: wonder if it's gonna shadow drop. Now everybody thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna shadow drop today.
Speaker 2: Should shadow drop, but the entire presentation should be like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're we're making Marrow and instead the better game.
Speaker 1: Not sadly they will just it will be that. Gotta
Speaker 1: deal with it. Also, Rebellion is happy with getting two
Speaker 1: million players for Adam Fall, which I still need to
Speaker 1: go back and play that. Yeah, but hey, that's cool
Speaker 1: people being positive about game Pass when they put their
Speaker 1: game in it. So right, that's a great thing. In
Speaker 1: the Minecraft movie once again doing great as far as
Speaker 1: box office goes at over five hundred million now in
Speaker 1: nine days or five hundred and like twenty million something
Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, I was watching the thing with
Speaker 1: the Game Kitchen guys, which they're doing the movie for
Speaker 1: clareup Skiers also getting a movie and they haven't even
Speaker 1: released the game, but Game Kitchen talked about how they
Speaker 1: will not do an adaptation if the original debs are
Speaker 1: not involved, and I thought that was that's great to hear.
Speaker 2: Thinking of that. Did you hear the other hot video
Speaker 2: game movie news today? No? I did not, And this
Speaker 2: is a good one, Michael Bay and Sydney Sweeny or
Speaker 2: teaming up to make an Outrun video game movie.
Speaker 1: I mean, what lore is there an Outrun aside from
Speaker 1: you race cars? Like that's one that's like, do we
Speaker 1: really need to have the essence of Outrun?
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, Unforest family, it doesn't seem like so
Speaker 2: star and as she's just like producing it or something.
Speaker 2: But oh, okay, speaking of video game of video movies,
Speaker 2: do you know that that Until Dawn movie is hitting
Speaker 2: this week? What? And no, you haven't heard a damn
Speaker 2: thing about it?
Speaker 1: No, exactly. The only thing I saw was like YouTube
Speaker 1: asking if I would go watch that movie.
Speaker 2: Okay, that thing is kind of and there's been absolutely
Speaker 2: zero promotion or press about it at all.
Speaker 1: So I bet Myncraft movie will still outdo that movie.
Speaker 2: By yes, by no man, until Don's gonna break it.
Speaker 2: You're just thinking, you know, high enough, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: the first like trillion dollar movie.
Speaker 1: It will definitely probably get people to go buy that
Speaker 1: until Donnery Master, and that's probably about all that's gonna
Speaker 1: happen with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't like I didn't they sound like no.
Speaker 2: I think they used a trailer and everyone didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Like, It's just the thing is, the games are already
Speaker 1: so much like a movie. It's like, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do with this? Like, I don't know, it's just okay,
Speaker 1: I guess I.
Speaker 2: Just don't see that. The last trailer was two months ago.
Speaker 2: That's not great. No, it's the movie, a movie that's
Speaker 2: coming out in four days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely not Yeah, but all right, just getting through
Speaker 1: a couple of things really quick. Sony has raised the
Speaker 1: press of PS plus and Canada. Yep, I'm sorry for
Speaker 1: the Canadian.
Speaker 2: England or England and Australia and all other players.
Speaker 1: Well that was the PS five.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They've also raised the price a PS plus as well,
Speaker 1: and it's just like crazy, man. So this is the
Speaker 1: second time the Canadian players have seen the PS plus rise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so now, uh, you're gonna have to pay one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety Canadian dollars to get a whole year's worth
Speaker 1: of just ps plus extra. It's two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: four ninety nine if you want to get premium for
Speaker 1: twelve months. Uh, and then one o nine ninety nine
Speaker 1: if you want to get just the essential to have
Speaker 1: online play and get the free games.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So esh, I don't know if that means that the
Speaker 1: monthly price goes up, but yeah, that that sucks for
Speaker 1: everybody that buys it yearly.
Speaker 2: For sure cards now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure and stock them up now. Funk Com
Speaker 1: is delayed doing Awakening until June tenth. It was supposed
Speaker 1: to release May twentieth. Is not going to release June tenth.
Speaker 1: You can still get it on June fifth if you
Speaker 1: do the early early access, the head start access, or
Speaker 1: whatever the heck they call it. This games looked interesting
Speaker 1: every time I've seen it. I don't know that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play it.
Speaker 2: I mean, how big in the dune? Are you?
