<v Speaker 2>the main arena lineup. They will be featured on the

78
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>main streams and I'll get into that schedule in a second.

79
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>And then your extended lineup is Rivals of eight or

80

<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighteen entrants. All of these will be streamed.

89
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I believe almost every match will be streamed somewhere, maybe

90
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>not in the ten official Evo channels, which I'll get into,

91
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>like I said in a second, but there will be

92
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>plenty of fighting games to watch. So if you're looking

94
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.120

96
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>do want to say there isn't a channel called Evo

97
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and a channel called Evo one. There are two different channels.

98
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 2>This is just EVO with no number. Today is going

99
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:04.480

<v Speaker 2>right afterwards at twelve thirty pm Pacific time, you may

106

113
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.120

114
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.680

115
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>a half, they have the stage which is pretty wild,

116
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>and then the as far as panels go for me,

117
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Marvel Tocon Fighting Soul's panel at eight pm Pacific time

118
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.040

119
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>that is all of the news you can expect on

120
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that main EVO channel the rest of the weekend. That

121
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Maine ev channel will also be wall the top eights

122
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>play out. So Saturday it's Mortal Kombat Undernight, Marvel and

123
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Grand Blue, and then Sunday it's Guilty Year, Fatal Fury,

124
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Tech and Eight and street Fighter, And in between those

125
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 2>tournaments they mix in the announcements. They've said Invincible Verses

126
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 2>will be featured at these, Marvel TOCN will be featured

127
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>at these two x KO should make it appearance. I

128
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>believe it's it's gonna be a bonanza, yeah, of fighting

129
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 2>game stuff. It's just gonna be wild. And then every

130
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>one of the channels, the subsequent channels will have specific

131
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 2>games like, for example, if you just want to watch

132
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>street Fighter, ev O two has nothing but street Fighter

133
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Friday and Saturday, and it doesn't do anything because it

134
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need to. On Sunday, if it's Tech and eight

135
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 2>you want to watch, that's EVO three, and then EVO four, five, six,

136
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and seven will be mixing things up depending on what's

137
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 2>going on. And then they do have two dedicated channels

138
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 2>just to the extended lineup, Virtual Fighter, Arrivals of a

139
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.240

140
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.600

142
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of Killer Instinct as well. That that

143
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>schedule is extensive. The whole thing is on the game

144
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>spot article that I wrote. If you want to look

145
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>for a specific game, that's where you go. It's going

146
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to be fighting, fighting, fighting, and it's and I have

147
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>always said that if you want to know what competitive

148
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 2>gaming is like, if you're not familiar with it, the

149
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>fighting game community is the purest way for a casual

150
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>for a casual video game fan, for a casual fighting

151
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>game fan, or for someone who doesn't play video games

152
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>to experience competitive gaming, because I think it is the

153
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>easiest for a layman, someone who doesn't know, to get

154
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>all the information they need translated to them, translated to

155
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>them as soon as possible. And if you don't believe me,

156
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 2>take a still screenshot from Tech and eight or Street

157
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Fighter six from a broadcast of that game and put

158
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 2>it next to a still screenshot from a broadcast of

159
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>League of Legends. No disrespect to League of Legends, I

160
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>would agree with this. Yeah, yeah, the amount of information

161
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>on the screen is absurd, And even like Overwatch or

162
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Call of Duty, if you're motion sick, you have no

163
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 2>chance you can't watch that. So I think if FGC

164
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>is indeed the greatest depiction of competitive gaming, as the

165
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>chat says, it just is. It has that like ufcwwe

166
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>sort of feel, especially when someone's popping off, if you

167
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 2>need a highlight from last year to give you the full, uh,

168
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.679
<v Speaker 2>the full idea, go watch Street Fighter three Third Strike

169
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 2>with heyau.

170
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Go watch moment. Just google moment thirty eight. Yeah, EVO

171
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>moment eight.

172
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>That's it. That's it. That's oh man, that shit was awesome.

173
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.440
<v Speaker 2>That's but yeah. Yeah. But and if you're out there,

174
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to EVO, there's a full convention surrounding it.

175
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>You'll be able to play Token, You'll be able to

176
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>play Invincible Verses, You'll be able to play Mortal Kombat

177
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Legacy Collection two x KO is there again. There's there's

178
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.279
<v Speaker 2>meet and greets. One of my favorite fighting game artists

179
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>of all time, Shinkiro, who did all the capcom and

180
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>S and k Art, he made this wonder He made

181
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>this wonderful poster of the EVO thirty seven Parry where

182
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>it's Ken Parry and and my interrior in the background.

183
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 2>The crossover characters Terry and Maida Street Fighter, Ken and

184
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Chunley to fail Fury. It's wonderful stuff. No, we know

185
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>it's more than thirty seven. The parry Is Moment thirty

186
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>seven is the one from last year.

187
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about moment thirty eight. Yeah, it's a different thing.

188
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't you. Don't you fact check me chat at least

189
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.879
<v Speaker 2>not yet. Let's let's wait toward the stuff. I don't

190
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm talking about this week. Check me yet.

191
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Moment thirty seven, Moment thirty eight are different.

192
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>And the moment.

193
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>The moment thirty eight lived up to such hype that

194
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.399
<v Speaker 1>everyone said, you know your moment thirty eight, now, like

195
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 1>that's that's how good it was.

196
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 2>It's heyau is awesome. But yeah, if if you have

197
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>any passing interest in fighting games at all, this is

198
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>this is the super Bowl. This is the the fighting

199
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 2>game super Bowl for all of these games and the

200
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 2>news that surrounds it. Honestly, fighting games are a pretty

201
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>good spot. I have three storylines that I think are

202
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>important this year. One is the declining attendance. I do

203
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>want to bring up Marino had a the decline in attendance,

204
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I should say Marino, the veritable Marino who is out there.

205
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I did see that he picked up his badge wearing

206
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>a wearing a Sir Daniel Fortescue from PlayStation All Stars

207
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Battle Royale T shirt. What a guy he had posted?

208
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Where is that I'd meant to have ready and that

209
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't?

210
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>So?

211
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So if you look at the numbers in the

212
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>games that were in last year's EVO and this year's EVO,

213
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>there is a trend down. I mentioned Street Fighter had

214
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 2>forty two eighty eight last year, it was fifty two

215
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to sixty five. That's a twenty percent drop. Guilty Gear

216
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 2>was a twenty six percent drop. Grand Blue thirty two

217
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>word Salid Undernight is thirty percent, Mortal Kombat one is

218
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>forty six percent. King of Fighters is fifty four percent,

219
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>and Tech in which I skipped on purpose forty five percent.

220
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Down right, there is a definite reason for this. A

221
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of laces, right, Yeah, Yeah, Well, I mean the

222
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>main one I come I think if you look at

223
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 2>the picture as a whole is the political climate we

224
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>live in.

225
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and hard to travel to the United States right now?

226
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Are justified traveling here? For sure?

227
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? It just is? And I wonder how I don't

228
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 2>think it's going to affect the viewing experience, but I

229
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>am genuinely curious how it's going to affect the competition itself. Yeah,

230
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the second storyline kind of builds off of that, and

231
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that's Tech and eight specifically. That drop is considerable, but

232
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that particular game, I think is just as much because

233
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 2>of how mad people are at the state of that

234
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>game at the moment. Ever since season two launched, it

235
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 2>has just been fumble after fumble and they just can't

236
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>dig out of it. I'm hoping they can do it soon.

237
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping it has a good showing here and starts

238
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>to get them good graces back because I love teching.

239
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I like teching a a lot. It's just not in

240
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>a very good spot right now. All they have to

241
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>do is put the waffle house, the waffle House stage in.

242
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 1>There and all the problems. Yep, it's all good from there.

243
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Call it pancake punch. That's it. Put it in there.

244
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's second one and the third one

245
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>is more for the convention as a whole, and that's

246
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the burgeoning tag Fighter scene two XKO.

247
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>It feels like the next year's lineup is going to

248
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>look very different. Than this year's lineup, right, because a

249
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of those games are going to come out and

250
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of dominate this space, I think very quickly.

251
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I agree with that to the point where I

252
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.879
<v Speaker 2>think maybe they're putting the extended lineup in this year

253
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>just to have it for next year, right, Yeah, because

254
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these games still are still the current game,

255
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>so they're going to bleed into that. But the burgeoning

256
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.960
<v Speaker 2>tag scene, specifically, Marvel took on two XKO Invincible Versus

257
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 2>two x KO, like I said, had a two your lead,

258
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>a two year head start, and it's and it evaporated

259
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 2>in a week span with Marvel Token and that stay

260
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to play and Invincible Versus four days later at Xbox.

261
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>It's that is an interesting scene all of a sudden,

262
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.039
<v Speaker 2>three games that offer completely different things. One's more of

263
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.240
<v Speaker 2>a traditional tag and Invincible Versus two XKO does some

264
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>interesting things with their like link system. And now Marvel

265
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>TOCN based on that video yesterday is completely wild.

266
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

267
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I am very curious to see what opinions are coming

268
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>out of EVO based on those three games. So that's it.

269
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>That's EVO, baby, Make sure you watch them Fighting games.

270
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Ready, Welcome to Evo mess Mornings all of a sudden

271
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and we'll take it from there.

272
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm really really looking forward to it. You got

273
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 1>me more hype than I was before. And I had

274
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>such a good time watching last year. It was that

275
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that Hayo moment really has stuck with me. But there

276
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>was so much cool stuff from last year, So looking

277
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>forward to watching again. And I think it's interesting year

278
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>because everything is kind of like in a weird space

279
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>with some of these games, especially something like a tech

280
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 1>n and it's like, I bet there's gonna be something.

281
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 1>We come out here and be like, you know what,

282
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Everything's just fine and look at all these games that

283
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>are coming down the pike. So yeah, playing games in

284
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 1>a cool and interesting and worthwhile place to pay attention

285
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 1>to glay we were able.

286
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:17.919

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.159
<v Speaker 1>chapters and timestamps might be a little sketch you this

309
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 1>week since Shawn's out everybody, but we'll do our best.

310
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 1>All right. We have a lot to get into, so

311
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 1>let's start the morning mess with Nintendo increasing price of

312
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Switch and other products in the US. This is from

313
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Eddie McCoo, a game spot. Okay, let's just get into it.

314
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo has announced that it's raising the price of the

315
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 1>original switch and other Nintendo products in the United States.

316
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Switch to pricing, however, will remain unchanged at least for now.

317
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Beginning August third, the price of the switch will go

318
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 1>up based on market conditions, and that's in quote the

319
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.159
<v Speaker 1>regular switch, switch, O, led switch light, and Select, and

320
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.399
<v Speaker 1>that's in quotes as well. Accessories will get unspecified pricing increases.

321
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right, the price is going up, and Nintendo is

322
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>not telling us by how much. They're just warning us

323
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.879
<v Speaker 1>that on August third, the price is going to go up.

324
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>So if you have been meaning to buy a switch

325
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>light or whatever for some reason this week, I guess

326
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 1>they've created a sense of urgency and now with the

327
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 1>time to go, do that. Look, Jason, I get the

328
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>reality of market conditions, and the tariffs really are still there.

329
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>It feels like we've moved past them. He like, just

330
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>today Trump was putting a thirty five percent tariff on Canada.

331
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 1>There's more being placed on Brazil. But like, don't forget

332
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 1>that there are still tariffs on China, Vietnam, Taiwan, these

333
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.159
<v Speaker 1>places all have their own significant tariffs that are more

334
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>than just like ten percent, which also already would have

335
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>been too much and would probably force these companies to

336
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>increase prices. They're at like twenty five to thirty percent

337
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>for these tariffs. So that stuff is still there. But

338
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the switch one could just kind of fizzle out, like Nintendo,

339
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 1>just let it like not make as much. I struggle

340
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>to see, like how they aren't making a profit on

341
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that thing still because they it's an old it's old hardware.

342
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>At the price on manufacturing has to have come down now,

343
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I say that, And the reality is we know that

344
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.119
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot of issues with manufacturing and sourcing

345
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>parts and it becomes more difficult every year seemingly, and

346
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.319
<v Speaker 1>so that and combine that with the tariffs. Maybe not,

347
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe they do feel like they need to raise the price,

348
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>but it still why not just take the hit, let

349
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the switch one sort of move into the bush like

350
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Homer Simpson, and let the switch to take the spotlight.

351
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>This is insane to me that we're raising the price

352
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of a switch one after the switch too is out.

353
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 2>It's it is insane to me, But I do sort

354
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.759
<v Speaker 2>of see a small strain of logic to it, sure,

355
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and that that being if you are going to raise

356
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>a price to recoup costs you are going, and it

357
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>makes sense to reduce the current stock of the previous

358
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>generation because A either you get the extra for those sales,

359
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.680
<v Speaker 2>or B they just say, well, for one hundred dollars more,

360
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I can just get the switch to and be caught up,

361
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 2>and then you may push people to the switch to

362
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:31.599
<v Speaker 2>that way, right, I don't like it. I don't know

363
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 2>if you saw the target does have the new prices up.

364
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Switch lights are now two twenty nine, up from two

365
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine, up from one to ninety nine. Non o

366
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 2>leads are three thirty nine, up from two ninety nine,

367
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and switch O leads are four hundred up from three

368
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:53.559
<v Speaker 2>point fifty. So I could definitely see a parent being like, wait,

369
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 2>the old one's four hundred, the new one's five hundred.

370
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I can make I can do the under extra hundred

371
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>bucks and then four to fifty if they don't untle

372
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 2>game in with it, if that's a good point and

373
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.920
<v Speaker 2>just say, oh, I'll just I'll do the upgrade and

374
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 2>now we're switch to owners and that'll be that. I'm

375
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 2>also and I said this in uh I think one

376
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.839
<v Speaker 2>of the one of my group chats, never underestimate the

377
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 2>ignorance of your fellow man or the capability for ignorance

378
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 2>in your fellow man. And some parent is gonna miss

379
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the big two. They're gonna be set in for a

380
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.559
<v Speaker 2>switch to and they're gonna see this one and see

381
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 2>that price and that it's not gonna be much different,

382
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna be like, oh, this is what they want. Yeah,

383
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.519
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna get the first.

384
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 1>You can't be banking on that, right, That can't be

385
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the strategy. That can't be the kind of thing where

386
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 1>it's like we are gonna be sneaky and try to

387
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>make a little bit more money by fooling people. I mean,

388
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I do think that will be a byproduct of this.

389
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I also think of by product this is the medium

390
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 1>popcorn effect of oh this is only one hundred dollars more.

391
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Now let's go over the switch too. Definitely, But I

392
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>think they can't be like using those as primary strategies

393
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.160
<v Speaker 1>for selling the switch too, because it just looks really odd.

394
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 1>It speaks volumes, right, this is screaming to us get

395
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 1>used to this kind of thing. The switch two's price

396
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 1>is probably going to go up, Like, honestly, you should

397
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.319
<v Speaker 1>be feeling anxious about if you haven't got a Switch To.

398
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Yet then this is Nintendo talking now. You should be

399
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.119
<v Speaker 1>feeling anxious because we're going to raise the price at

400
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 1>any minute. And they said that they reserve the right

401
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to do that, so that like basically they are doing

402
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>everything except for confirming there will be a switch to

403
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.880
<v Speaker 1>price increase at some point. So you know, there was

404
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Speaker 1>a time where this was the exact opposite or what happened,

405
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 1>where we would get price decreases when the new console

406
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>came out, and to live in this very very opposite world,

407
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like, Okay, this whole system feels broken. Obviously, the

408
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:43.119
<v Speaker 1>market effects are real and and and the reality is

409
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 1>this is us just kind of catching up, like we're

410
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.319
<v Speaker 1>like I'm a gas at this or whatever. But the

411
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>price went up in Canada I think for the Switch

412
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>one a few months ago, right, and now we're just

413
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>getting the price increase here like they spared us for.

414
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

415
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, but still it is a weird timing, you

416
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>know at certain points, oh well, they didn't get the

417
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 1>price increased for the Switch one done by the time

418
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to Switch two launched. Obviously, the move here now is

419
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:08.240
<v Speaker 1>just kind of leave everything alone, move on and focus

420
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:10.039
<v Speaker 1>on the switch too. And they're not even doing that,

421
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So I kind it's hard to read this in any

422
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.440
<v Speaker 1>other way other than Nintendo screaming to everybody that we

423
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:20.400
<v Speaker 1>are going to take every opportunity we have to increase

424
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the price because you know, if the tariffs go away.

425
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I suppose maybe the switch one. I was going to say, oh,

426
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, the switch one won't go back down in price,

427
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 1>But again, who knows, maybe they would bring it back

428
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.799
<v Speaker 1>down because it's the switch one. Who cares. They're not

429
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.680
<v Speaker 1>going to sell it to one more of those now

430
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>they are going to sell some more of those, and

431
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 1>they have to manufacture them. And Nintendo's very conservative and

432
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.319
<v Speaker 1>wants to cover their costs if it comes from a

433
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 1>place like that. I guess I get it, but I

434
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>really still don't because it just looks so strange. Do

435
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you think, like, Okay, Nintendo's doing this, and Nintendo's try

436
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 1>to trail or has successfully like charged eighty dollars for

437
00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>one of its games. They have this new console that

438
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 1>is is relatively expensive for what people thought it would cost.

439
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people thought it would cost a little

440
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.400
<v Speaker 1>bit less than that four fifty four hundred. The other

441
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 1>companies around Nintendo seem to keep taking like, Okay, Nintendo's

442
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.839
<v Speaker 1>doing it, so maybe we can get away with it.

443
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this leads back to even more price

444
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.039
<v Speaker 1>increases from Xbox and Sony or did they already get

445
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>thirs in and this is Nintendo catching up?

446
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I think I think the ladder. I think Nintendo is

447
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 2>just kind of I think Nintendo sat back was a

448
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit patient and is now trying to pull every

449
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 2>lever they can other than the switch to one before

450
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.400
<v Speaker 2>they are forced to pull the switch to one. I

451
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.559
<v Speaker 2>don't I mean, maybe you see a series s increase, perhaps, Yeah,

452
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 2>because that is that there is some room to move there.

453
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 2>As much as I don't want to say that, but

454
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.440
<v Speaker 2>if anything's gonna go up, I think it's going to

455
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.359
<v Speaker 2>be that. I don't. I don't know that that the

456
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft and Sony really have a lot of room to

457
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>follow suit, right, And and that's from a financial standpoint

458
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and from a good will standpoint. Right Xbox, in prontarticular,

459
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>if they come out with a price increase for their consoles,

460
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 2>they basically just say we prefer them to sell on

461
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.519
<v Speaker 2>the shelf, then be in your house, because that's what

462
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do. I would be absolutely aghast if

463
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.599
<v Speaker 2>either of those companies announced an increase in America. But

464
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 2>then again, we are do we do live in bizarro world? Now?

465
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Everything is weird.

466
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Everybody who Every decision that's ever been made in the

467
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.519
<v Speaker 2>last like who, however long has been the opposite of

468
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>what it should have been or I thought it would be,

469
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.000
<v Speaker 2>So who the hell knows?

470
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Right, I'm trying to like remember it. I think

471
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the timeline for Sony is they raised the price of

472
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the PlayStation five everywhere except for the United States, or

473
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 1>did we eventually get one in the United because I think.

474
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 2>You could say, I don't think we ever did. I

475
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:51.599
<v Speaker 2>don't think. I think it's still for I think are

476
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>the prices right?

477
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 1>But they raised it everywhere else, so it's like we've

478
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 1>all been kind of like, don't touch it because it

479
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>might fall apart, And then what falls out is price increases.

480
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:05.119
<v Speaker 1>And I think that this might convince Sony to move

481
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>on that, but there's also been some backlash. The eighty

482
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 1>dollars price hasn't seemed to work for anything else other

483
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:13.039
<v Speaker 1>than Mario Kart, so maybe everyone's like Nintendo can touch

484
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.119
<v Speaker 1>the hot stove, maybe we can't get away with it.

485
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.759
<v Speaker 1>As much. I think Sony feels like it probably would

486
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 1>be able to get away with it. But the PlayStation

487
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>fives at a weird point in its life cycle where

488
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.480
<v Speaker 1>people are looking at it be like, oh, all the

489
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 1>games are from Microsoft, and well, you know, why do

490
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I buy this system, Sony? I want your games, And

491
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:31.319
<v Speaker 1>so I think they might wait until they have a

492
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>few more things out there coming out in the next

493
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, but even then it's like, what are

494
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:38.759
<v Speaker 1>we talking about. They're waiting to increase the price. This

495
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 1>to me speaks to the somewhat rotten foundation of console

496
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.319
<v Speaker 1>gaming as a whole right now, where these companies the

497
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 1>strategy is get more money from the same people. They

498
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily think about growing their their market share and

499
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>not versus you know, not when I'm not talking about

500
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>market share versus like Sony, micros Oft and Nintendo, but

501
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>their market share versus like TikTok and other things that

502
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:09.599
<v Speaker 1>take people's leisure time. So now does Nintendo feel that way?

503
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:11.880
<v Speaker 1>They grew a lot with the Switch one. I bet

504
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 1>they have like a relatively good understanding that the Switch

505
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>too is going to do maybe as good as the

506
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Switch one or slightly worse. Like, it'll be very difficult

507
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 1>for them to do better than the Switch one, so

508
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 1>for them to increase profits this generation, price increases is

509
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of the thing they got to rely on. So again,

510
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I think this goes back to them understanding that the

511
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.440
<v Speaker 1>console generation or the console market not growing with bringing

512
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.079
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of new young people, and then Nintendo

513
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 1>using the switch one as a way of getting us

514
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.039
<v Speaker 1>used to the idea of even more price increases than

515
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>we have become accustomed to. And it's just a bummer

516
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>all around, very strange. Now Nintendo's had some earnings reports

517
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 1>it's doing very well. The switch to has sold five

518
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>point eight two million units worldwide. That's from my Nintendo

519
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>news and then to Know has confirmed this morning that

520
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 1>the recently released Nintendo switched To has sold five point

521
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 1>eight two million units worldwide since the console launched on

522
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the fifth of June. This sales figure counts hardware sales

523
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 1>up to June thirtieth, twenty twenty five, so no doubt

524
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>has now sold a fair few more units since I

525
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>think Nintendo confirmed, like it's more than six million now

526
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 1>if you go up to like today's sales something like that.

527
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:25.880
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, five point six three million or uh, yes,

528
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, that's for Mario Kart. Five point five point

529
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>eight two million for Switch to and then Mario Kart

530
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>has sold five point six three million, almost a one

531
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.279
<v Speaker 1>to one attach rate.

532
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:36.680
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy to me.

533
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Crazy.

534
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 2>I would love I would love to know the split

535
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>of bundles versus non bundles and why someone would buy

536
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 2>a non bundle unless they had to.

537
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, you can't find if you can't find it. Yes,

538
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I think that's going to be the only reason most

539
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.319
<v Speaker 1>people did, because it seems like everyone just like says, yeah,

540
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I should have that game, and it makes sense.

541
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, I think to the one thing to

542
00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:58.920
<v Speaker 2>take from this is and I said this the last

543
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>time we talked about Switch sales figures. The fact that

544
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the stock this amount of stock was available for them

545
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to reach these heights so soon is commendable Like that's

546
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>they clearly were ready with all the rumors in time

547
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>that we had between you know, when we thought it

548
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:19.240
<v Speaker 2>was coming, when it actually came, they were just probably

549
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>stockpiling consoles, and I think it paid off for them, clearly.

550
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I would love all of the people who have bought

551
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.799
<v Speaker 2>the Switch and don't own Marricart to buy it just

552
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 2>because I want to see a one to one attach

553
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 2>rate and go like that. But yeah, I mean, what

554
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.079
<v Speaker 2>else can you say? That's the the early strategy is

555
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.759
<v Speaker 2>paid off. Now it's time for the long term strategy

556
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to show its hand here and let us know when

557
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 2>things are coming out and what you're going to do

558
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.039
<v Speaker 2>to support these near these now six million plus people

559
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.599
<v Speaker 2>who bought in on day one month, one month, two,

560
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>what's next? How are you going to keep us? You

561
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying.

562
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Yep, And on that point has been rated for switch

563
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to one of the games coming up for that system.

564
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 1>This is from Liam Dulan at Nintendo Life. Masahiro Sakarai

565
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Sean made me say that that that way everybody. By

566
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 1>the way, mas Hero's latest project, Kirby aer Riders sores

567
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.039
<v Speaker 1>on Tonindudo switch to at some point later this year.

568
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 1>While we haven't heard all that much about it since

569
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the initial announcement in April, the game has reportedly been

570
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.559
<v Speaker 1>rated in Saudi Arabia, recently receiving an AGE rating in

571
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 1>the location of seven and above. Whatever details don't matter

572
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.759
<v Speaker 1>here really what matters is the game, people speculated I

573
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>think based on this news looking at other Saudi Arabia

574
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Arabia Ratings that they only rate games once they're completed,

575
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 1>once they've completed development. That's probably actually true. I think

576
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that's probably true. I think I think that's that tends

577
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to be how it works, where these ratiing ratings agencies

578
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 1>are like, you got to send us some material, but

579
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the game has to be ready to go, so no

580
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>changes can sneak in underneath us. But maybe that's not

581
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 1>how it works either way. I think we can assume

582
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>this game is probably pretty close to going, and when

583
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:06.359
<v Speaker 1>it gets rated like this, okay, that means it can

584
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>come any minute now.

585
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Now.

586
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.359
<v Speaker 1>At the same time, this is Nintendo, Jason, they do

587
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the thing of holding onto games for longer than you

588
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:15.599
<v Speaker 1>would expect. I don't necessarily think that's gonna happen here.

589
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.279
<v Speaker 1>This game is coming. We still haven't got a date, though,

590
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:20.799
<v Speaker 1>So do you think this is one of those ones

591
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, Okay, we just had that partner direct

592
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and now we are expecting a September direct although they

593
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>haven't said anything about that. But it usually happens. I

594
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's always happened for like the last ten years

595
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. But whatever, we can expect one.

596
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 1>So do you think this is another one of these

597
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:40.279
<v Speaker 1>game date announcements that get saved for that or is

598
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.799
<v Speaker 1>this one that could pop up on Nintendo Today App

599
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 1>anytime between now and then.

600
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Of all the games that we know that Nintendo has

601
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 2>in first party development, I think this is the one

602
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>that has the highest chance of you just wake up

603
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:54.480
<v Speaker 2>on a Monday morning and you're like, oh, by the way,

604
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Kirby aer Riders launching blah blah blah on Nintendo Switch

605
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 2>to on your Nintendo Today app. It's this is the one.

606
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:05.319
<v Speaker 2>If they're gonna if they announced the METROI Prime four

607
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.799
<v Speaker 2>release date on Nintendo Today, they're gonna have to replace

608
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of phones from people going holy sit and throwing.

609
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.680
<v Speaker 1>It across the room.

610
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.039
<v Speaker 2>So you do it on Kirby air Riders, you go

611
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.480
<v Speaker 2>all right, sure, that's fine, and then you move on

612
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.720
<v Speaker 2>to the next announcement. But yes, I do also think

613
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:26.319
<v Speaker 2>that the routine September direct usually sometimes as early as

614
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the Wednesday after Labor Day. Sometimes it goes a little

615
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:32.680
<v Speaker 2>later into September. The latest the latest ever been was

616
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the twenty first of September. It was supposed to be

617
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.480
<v Speaker 2>the fourteenth, and then that earthquake happened, so they delayed

618
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:43.240
<v Speaker 2>it a week. So I yeah, I wholeheartedly expect there

619
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 2>to be a direct and for this game to be

620
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.240
<v Speaker 2>there in some capacity, but I also would not be

621
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 2>surprised if we know the release date for it before

622
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>that direct happens, and sometime in August, Nintendo's like, oh,

623
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.240
<v Speaker 2>by the way, we're still awaken. This is when this

624
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 2>game's coming out. Thanks you'all.

625
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 1>We're it's August now, Like July does feel like a

626
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>time where okay, they did do a direct in July,

627
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 1>but that you know, we don't get a ton of

628
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>news about this industry in July. Typically that's changed a

629
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but typically August we do start to hear things.

630
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.000
<v Speaker 1>They start to go like, oh, I can see the

631
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 1>holiday season. We should be ready for that. And so

632
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I think this is like things start to shake loose

633
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>this month. I'm good. I think that is probably what

634
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:21.759
<v Speaker 1>is going to happen with the Nintendo Today app this month,

635
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>where some of these things we keep asking about do

636
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>shake loose in the next couple of weeks, and then

637
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:28.559
<v Speaker 1>they could put everything else in the end of September

638
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>direct and they can also remind us about these dates

639
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 1>in the September Direct. So it's like, if Kirby Air

640
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Riders does get a date between now in September, that

641
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>game will also probably just be in the September Direct

642
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.160
<v Speaker 1>with even more information in that at that point. So

643
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:47.319
<v Speaker 1>I think Nintendo will probably have some information dropping about

644
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 1>many of these games here very soon. Agreed, All right,

645
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Here are the top ten best selling Switch games as

646
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 1>of June twenty twenty five. Kind of another check in

647
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.799
<v Speaker 1>on just how well some of these games have sold.

648
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Mario Kart eight Deluxe is now at sixty point eight

649
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:08.640
<v Speaker 1>six million units, almost seventy million it's sold that that's

650
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 1>another six hundred thousand units there, I believe or not? No,

651
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's sixty thousand excuse me, another sixty thousand thousand

652
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 1>units in the last quarter Mario Kart, Yeah, I'm sorry.

653
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Animal Crossing New Horizons is at forty point one to

654
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.720
<v Speaker 1>nine million. Super Smash Brothers Ultimate is at thirty six

655
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.720
<v Speaker 1>point five to five million. These are just massive numbers.

656
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>As a reminder, the exclusives for like an Xbox or

657
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a PlayStation console game, typically honestly, for anything that's not

658
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Spider Man is around ten, twelve million, fifteen million. That's

659
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 1>really really, really good for a PlayStation exclusive. Spider Man

660
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.759
<v Speaker 1>gets up to like twenty million. I think some in

661
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that range. But you have several games here from Nintendo

662
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that are above twenty million, including Super Mario Party at

663
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty one point nineteen million. Now, one thing that I

664
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 1>did find interesting here, Jason, is the Zelda games. So

665
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Breadth of the Wail was that thirty two point eight

666
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>million last quarter and it sold another Let's see is

667
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that twenty thousand units?

668
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:09.440
<v Speaker 2>One hundred thousand? Yeah?

669
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yes, and okay, so then and then Tiers of

670
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom was at twenty one point seventy three million units,

671
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:20.839
<v Speaker 1>and let's see that is it didn't again? Yep. They're

672
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>growing at about the same rate, right, So it's like

673
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 1>those games they just kind of I don't know, they're

674
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>in parallel. But people have not slowed down on buying

675
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Breath of the Wild because Tiers of the Kingdom's out there.

676
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a little weird thing to see. I don't know,

677
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:36.519
<v Speaker 1>what do you think, hi, Gruth?

678
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 2>And I wonder too, this is sales, not unit movements.

679
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I wonder a are they including Nintendo Switch to edition,

680
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:49.079
<v Speaker 2>and b how do the how do the free online

681
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.400
<v Speaker 2>expansion upgrades factor into this?

682
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, you're looking through these numbers and trying to see

683
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like, okay, what games did get like significant updates?

684
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, Scarlet and Violet. That that one looks like

685
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.279
<v Speaker 1>it did another what three hundred thousand? No more than

686
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:07.200
<v Speaker 1>that four hundred thousand? Yeah, yeah, that's like really good

687
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:09.519
<v Speaker 1>for that, And I think that that's probably one that

688
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>was like people were legitimately waiting. That sounds like the

689
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:14.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of spike in sales you can expect from something

690
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>like that.

691
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Surprisingly, I think the biggest jump in sales of

692
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 2>all of these is Mario Kart eight Deluxe. It's six

693
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand unit.

694
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, it was six hundred thousand, yeah, sixteen

695
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>The World is Out.

696
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean this game cannot be stopped.

697
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 1>It literally just has a momentum all its ome. It

698
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>is self perpetuating machine at this point. And yeah, it's

699
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it's bananas to see that it can continue to sell

700
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:42.119
<v Speaker 1>that well, even like even if you consider like part

701
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.239
<v Speaker 1>of that quarter was before the switch to is out,

702
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:47.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like, okay, so it's sold all right before that. No,

703
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a number that you only do if it just

704
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 1>continues to sell. Like people probably bought a switch to

705
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 1>and got Mario Kart wrote and bought Mario Kart eight Deluxe.

706
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.360
<v Speaker 1>They got both. It's like a very wild thing to see.

707
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo's trying to recreate that with World. I think they

708
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:05.519
<v Speaker 1>probably will end up doing so because despite like any

709
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>like of the specific issues I might have with that game,

710
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the general audience seems pretty happy with it.

711
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 2>So and hot dogs suit in chat. I heard that

712
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:16.000
<v Speaker 2>as well, even though it's not what he said. You

713
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.079
<v Speaker 2>said bananas to see, but we all heard bonanzas to say.

714
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, bonanzas to see. That's all right, all right, let's

715
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:25.639
<v Speaker 1>take a quick break, go to our ad. When we

743
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 1>like that, but real quick. Battlefield six is set to

744
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 1>release on October tenth, and this week, EA showed off

745
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the game's multiplayer for the first time at preview events

746
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>across the world. The thing I've been hearing mostly from

747
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 1>people is they're pretty excited about it, and it does

748
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.880
<v Speaker 1>remind them of Battlefield three and four, or it feels like,

749
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, the real Battlefield five is what people are saying. Now.

750
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I haven't played it, I will say, And I saw

751
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.239
<v Speaker 1>someone in chap point out that Steven till Totilla made

752
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the same point by retweeting and reposting a bunch of

753
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 1>previews for Battlefield twenty forty two where people sounded very

754
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.800
<v Speaker 1>similar to how they sound now. Battlefield is back. It's

755
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.199
<v Speaker 1>going back to its roots. This is the Battlefield we've

756
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:26.599
<v Speaker 1>been waiting for, so we can get our hopes up. Still.

757
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's nothing wrong with that, and this

758
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.159
<v Speaker 1>is still the game that people have been asking for

759
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.360
<v Speaker 1>from Dice. But do you think we're setting ourselves up

760
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 1>for disappointment or what? Is? It hard to say now.

761
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to say right now because a lot of

762
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the enthusiasm that you're hearing is from people who were

763
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:46.719
<v Speaker 2>in the room and potentially flown out there to do it.

764
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say that they're compromised, but you know,

765
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:54.400
<v Speaker 2>they're the content creators, the YouTubers who will go out

766
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:56.559
<v Speaker 2>there and play this game, and you know, we're in

767
00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:59.639
<v Speaker 2>the room being interviewed by EA on the official live

768
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.880
<v Speaker 2>stream while they're playing it. What are they going to say, No,

769
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.559
<v Speaker 2>your game sucks. Like you have to take all of

770
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.199
<v Speaker 2>those impressions with a grain of fatal It's easy to.

771
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Get caught up in the hype, right like it is

772
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.760
<v Speaker 1>like you're there. Yeah, in fashions, have all met?

773
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Have y'all met me? I am a hype machine. I

774
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 2>think I think I got out of my chair yesterday

775
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.400
<v Speaker 2>for a mouse game that let's not let's not say

776
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.800
<v Speaker 2>that I'm immune to this, but I have read some

777
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>articles and some interviews and things like that where they've

778
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 2>talked about I think the guy from Ripple Effect said

779
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 2>they went back and looked at three and four and

780
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.440
<v Speaker 2>really tried to enhance that experience in this new game.

781
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:37.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think that is the way to go, right.

782
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 2>You go back to why did people gravitate towards those

783
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:44.920
<v Speaker 2>games so much and see if you can how you

784
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.519
<v Speaker 2>can translate that or improve on it. Just get five

785
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 2>and twenty forty two out of your view and just

786
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 2>focus on three and four. If that's what they did

787
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the right approach to take. Honestly, we

788
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.000
<v Speaker 2>won't know for sure until the open bait has happened

789
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:03.840
<v Speaker 2>next weekend and the weekend after, But for now, I like,

790
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I like what I'm hearing. I like the direction it

791
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:11.880
<v Speaker 2>sounds like they're taking. But until I am holding a

792
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 2>controller checking it out, I cannot in good conscience say

793
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Battlefield's back, because.

794
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, yeah, that's where I'm at too.

795
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>But I can imagine that this game is in a

796
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.079
<v Speaker 1>better place than that even twenty forty two was, because

797
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:28.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like twenty forty two is it did feel like

798
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the Pepsi Challenge, where like people tried it and it's like, oh,

799
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.639
<v Speaker 1>this is this does taste the sweetness that I want.

800
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:35.079
<v Speaker 2>It's right there.

801
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>They are delivering the game I want, and then it

802
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:41.039
<v Speaker 1>just didn't have everything behind it to sort of support that. Hopefully,

803
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like this is just them being like, Okay, let's

804
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.119
<v Speaker 1>go even more back to Battlefield three and four and

805
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>learn from our lessons from twenty forty two. It's entirely

806
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:51.639
<v Speaker 1>possible that all that has happened and this is really

807
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the game that people have been waiting for so Beta

808
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.000
<v Speaker 1>starts next week. I believe people are going to get

809
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.679
<v Speaker 1>a chance to get their hands on with this thing.

810
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully I will go on hands on as well and

811
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>be able to form my own opinion. But I bet

812
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people will come out of that, and

813
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the very least, we will know a

814
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker 1>lot more at that point, although it will still be

815
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:10.639
<v Speaker 1>easy to get caught up in the hype from a beta,

816
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I do.

817
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Want to make a point that Lexi made in chat

818
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:16.880
<v Speaker 2>here giant bomb dot com slash chat if you're not

819
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.039
<v Speaker 2>there yet. Also kind of weird that no one has

820
00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.599
<v Speaker 2>covered the game's pretty American nationalist, wet dreamy story concept,

821
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:25.559
<v Speaker 2>which is, hey, there was an assassination. She didn't write

822
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.079
<v Speaker 2>that I did because I did cover it, Lexi gatesbot

823
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:31.719
<v Speaker 2>dot com article A. Basically, there's a major assassination that

824
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:34.559
<v Speaker 2>breaks up NATO, and this PMC tries to fill the void,

825
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's who you're fighting against in the single player campaign.

826
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.000
<v Speaker 2>The thirty second teaser was just a woman given this

827
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:42.320
<v Speaker 2>speech about how the allegiances you thought you had you

828
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.559
<v Speaker 2>don't have and blah blah blah, and then she quotes

829
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 2>a little finger from Game of Thrones for some.

830
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:58.199
<v Speaker 1>And Jason, we're losing you a little bit. Maybe you're

831
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 1>just like robody while like a robot cursing. Hang on,

832
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:08.760
<v Speaker 1>let's go Okay, let's give it a second. Let's see

833
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:11.599
<v Speaker 1>if it comes back. All right, yep, names Nato got

834
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:16.280
<v Speaker 1>him a Rascal's dad. Nato came for Jason Fidelli. Everybody,

835
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:20.199
<v Speaker 1>you're you're still you're still breaking up. Maybe maybe try

836
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:21.800
<v Speaker 1>to leaving the call coming back, you know what. Hang on,

837
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:23.920
<v Speaker 1>let me change the region of the call. Let me

838
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.119
<v Speaker 1>see if that'll fix it real quick. Uh, let's do this. Okay,

839
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:28.519
<v Speaker 1>it does sound like you're back, but let's go to

840
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:35.320
<v Speaker 1>US Central. Oh here, so changes. Okay, all right, I

841
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:39.280
<v Speaker 1>think we're back. Okay, got him, everybody, we saved him,

842
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>despite the cruelty that everyone knows from Nato. Uh, Jason,

843
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Jason Finelli has survived and we got back on the show.

844
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:49.760
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be all right back. I live.

845
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:52.920
<v Speaker 1>You did you did put Yeah, you pointed this to

846
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:55.920
<v Speaker 1>me yesterday that they quoted little Finger. But they say

847
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.519
<v Speaker 1>as the man says, that's.

848
00:41:57.599 --> 00:41:59.920
<v Speaker 2>As the man says, Chaos is a ladder. And I'm like,

849
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:03.239
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, that's just a couple on guys. Some

850
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:05.559
<v Speaker 2>some of must have just watched that episode and was like,

851
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what, this works in our trailer, but you

852
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:13.400
<v Speaker 2>know whatever, Sure, let's uh, let's let's let's quote Little

853
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Finger and see what the single player campaign has to do.

854
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, going back to a nationalistic dream story scenario also

855
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 1>sounds kind of like going back to the heyday for

856
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.559
<v Speaker 1>this genre. It's like, yeah, we want to feel like

857
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it's the James Bond thing, right. James Bond came about

858
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>from the UK because the UK was once an empire

859
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>and then they weren't anymore, and it and and there's

860
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:41.360
<v Speaker 1>presence on the world stage had diminished, and so they

861
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:43.159
<v Speaker 1>created a character to make it feel like we could

862
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.920
<v Speaker 1>still affect global events. America is far along that timeline

863
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:49.760
<v Speaker 1>as well. That's why like the Mission Impossible movies have

864
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>been have been doing better and better over time, and

865
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:55.079
<v Speaker 1>it's why we create, Like the general audience craves games

866
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 1>like this because they want to feel like, Okay, the

867
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.119
<v Speaker 1>military that we spend all this money on has this

868
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.880
<v Speaker 1>value that we don't even fully understand, and we need

869
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:07.039
<v Speaker 1>them here and to protect us from the worst case scenarios.

870
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 1>And that's what this could look like, look what happens

871
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:12.000
<v Speaker 1>if NATO goes away. So I think people crave it

872
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.079
<v Speaker 1>the way they crave Tom Clancy novels, and now we

873
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.280
<v Speaker 1>crave it even more because of the position the United

874
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.880
<v Speaker 1>States has on the global stage. Rainbow six Patriots, Yeah,

875
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:23.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean we've got a time of still trying to

876
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.599
<v Speaker 1>make that game. Yep, all right, let's see here. I

877
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:29.440
<v Speaker 1>think we're sticking with Battlefield six for a second. Battlefield

878
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:33.000
<v Speaker 1>six will have grounded skins, not from the video game grounded.

879
00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:36.159
<v Speaker 1>There'll have skins that are grounded in reality. They say,

880
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it needs Nicki Minaj. This is from

881
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Eddie McCoo at game Spot. In an interview with comic

882
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:46.079
<v Speaker 1>book producer Alexia CHRISTOFFI said much the same thing, explaining

883
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>that Battlefield Studios is hoping to make Battlefield six's skins

884
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:51.880
<v Speaker 1>feel grounded. We want people to express themselves in to

885
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.320
<v Speaker 1>have cool skins and peacock in a way like I

886
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:56.920
<v Speaker 1>look pretty cool and I have great weapons skins. What

887
00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:59.639
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to feel authentic to the franchise. That's the

888
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.800
<v Speaker 1>approach which worth thinking. I think that this is the

889
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.360
<v Speaker 1>right thing to say right now, and if this game

890
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.559
<v Speaker 1>does end up getting one hundred million players, this will

891
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:13.159
<v Speaker 1>be laughed at one day when it does have all

892
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.480
<v Speaker 1>of the insane skins. I think it's both are true

893
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:18.519
<v Speaker 1>that they want to serve this audience of people who

894
00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 1>like Battlefield and want it to feel serious, and that's fine,

895
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.559
<v Speaker 1>they should do that, but I do think it's a

896
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:29.199
<v Speaker 1>little incompatible with their long term plans for this game.

897
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.559
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is it doesn't have to be incompatible

898
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:34.280
<v Speaker 1>for the launch. They could do this and mean it

899
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:36.519
<v Speaker 1>for now, and if it changes one day, so be it,

900
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.400
<v Speaker 1>and people will complain about it then, But if they've

901
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:41.400
<v Speaker 1>been playing that whole time, it's because they really like

902
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:44.079
<v Speaker 1>the game, and at that point Dice will probably save themselves.

903
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:45.559
<v Speaker 1>We can get away with a little bit more.

904
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Now.

905
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, does that mean one day SpongeBob is in the game.

906
00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Probably not, But like look at like just look at

907
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:54.840
<v Speaker 1>like counter Strike weapon skins, right, those that like gets

908
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:57.480
<v Speaker 1>so wild over time they end up just like being

909
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 1>like all tai die and stuff like that. That happen

910
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:02.679
<v Speaker 1>here for sure, And people are saying they don't even

911
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:05.719
<v Speaker 1>want that, so let's wait and see what happens. But

912
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:07.119
<v Speaker 1>I do I think this is the right thing to

913
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:08.320
<v Speaker 1>say for now? What do you think, Jason?

914
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I think so too, And I wonder if they're just

915
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:12.519
<v Speaker 2>saying this to cover their ass in case all the

916
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 2>licenses are gobbled up by activision and there's no crossovers

917
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:16.679
<v Speaker 2>left to do. Right?

918
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen that the videos going around of Call

919
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.679
<v Speaker 1>of Duty recently of like a teenage mutant Ninja Turtle

920
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:23.920
<v Speaker 1>going up to a terminator and then pointing at the

921
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:27.039
<v Speaker 1>terminator and then Beavis comes out and kicks the terminator

922
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.639
<v Speaker 1>in the nuts, and it's like, wait, what is this?

923
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

924
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.079
<v Speaker 1>This is call of duty? Okay? Now to me, I'm like,

925
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, hell, yeah, this rule is. And everyone else

926
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:37.800
<v Speaker 1>is like, holy shit, this is miserable. But I get it.

927
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

928
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.440
<v Speaker 1>So people don't want that for sure, right.

929
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think they want that, But I think

930
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:45.320
<v Speaker 2>there's a way you can thread the needle here, Right.

931
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:51.280
<v Speaker 2>You can give them famous skins of fictional characters or whatever,

932
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.280
<v Speaker 2>but also have them grounded in some sort of reality.

933
00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I am shocked that Call of Duty or Fortnite or

934
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:01.119
<v Speaker 2>count Strike or whatever hasn't gone Fox and said, hey,

935
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:03.239
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing with Jack Bauer? Oh?

936
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, cool?

937
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 2>In one of these you know, I'm saying Reacher would

938
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 2>be perfect or something like that. There are characters that

939
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:14.239
<v Speaker 2>you could license that fit into the aesthetic, But are

940
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:16.320
<v Speaker 2>that still kind of scratch that? Do you think it's

941
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:17.360
<v Speaker 2>like the Mortal Kombat.

942
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Guest character sort of thing where it's like, oh, you

943
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:20.039
<v Speaker 1>know what, at the end of the day, all these

944
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:20.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of makes sense.

945
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so some of them do, right, like I I mean,

946
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Omni Man did not, and Homelander didn't make any sense

947
00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:28.519
<v Speaker 2>to me other than the fact that they were over

948
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the violent. But then when they came into the game

949
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:33.639
<v Speaker 2>and they found a way to fit them into those lures.

950
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Sure they gave them their own lure within the franchise,

951
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I should say that made sense. The horror franchise Monsters

952
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:42.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't make any goddamn sense, but they made them work.

953
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 2>The way that they put a ghostface into Mortal Kombat one,

954
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I still think is brilliant. And then like as somebody

955
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:50.760
<v Speaker 2>puts in chat you could mess with the you know,

956
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.199
<v Speaker 2>you get your realistic Jack Bauer, but then you get

957
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:56.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, Johnny English, the guy who played mister Beady.

958
00:46:57.559 --> 00:46:58.239
<v Speaker 2>You have fun with that.

959
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Liam Neeson and the Naked Gun would be hysterical just

960
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:04.480
<v Speaker 1>him bumbling around in a game like this, so there

961
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:05.320
<v Speaker 1>are ways to do it.

962
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I think. I don't think people are against guest characters

963
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:13.599
<v Speaker 2>or guest skins. I think people are against like an

964
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.159
<v Speaker 2>internal pointing at the terminator and then Beavis kick him

965
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:18.480
<v Speaker 2>in the nuts in Call of Duty. I would expect

966
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 2>that in Fortnite. I would not expect that in Call

967
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:21.559
<v Speaker 2>of Duty.

968
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:24.719
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason they keep selling it in Call of Duty, though.

969
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:27.480
<v Speaker 1>That audience, I still think is like they don't care.

970
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:32.360
<v Speaker 1>They've had their weed, the Red Sight weed skin for

971
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:35.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years now, so they're all aboard all all this stuff.

972
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I need to self correct. I forgot his name. I

973
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:41.840
<v Speaker 2>knew his first name is Rowan, I could not remember

974
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:43.159
<v Speaker 2>his last name, so I didn't say it at all.

975
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Rowan Atkinson is mister Bean's name, and I thank you

976
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:47.920
<v Speaker 2>for correcting me. I do appreciate that.

977
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's see here finally with the EA stuff.

978
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.760
<v Speaker 1>EA doesn't currently have plans to bring Battlefield six to

979
00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Switch to. I think this is something like they're not

980
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:00.719
<v Speaker 1>going to have that ready to go at launch. Why

981
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:03.079
<v Speaker 1>not just take your time? Nintendo Switch two's partner showcase

982
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:06.519
<v Speaker 1>is just revealed. What's ahead for new hybrid platforms in

983
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the hybrid platform in terms of third party offerings, but

984
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:11.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems one series that won't be showing up anytime

985
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>soon is EA's popular military shooter Battlefield. Eurogamer spoke to

986
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Battlefield's head Vince Sampella as part of Battlefield six is

987
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:23.320
<v Speaker 1>multiplayer reveal today, and it's been officially confirmed that the

988
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:25.800
<v Speaker 1>company doesn't currently have plans to bring the game to

989
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo's new system. The team is focused on delivering the

990
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:32.280
<v Speaker 1>game where the core Battlefield audience is at present. According

991
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to the same story, yeah, this is another one who's like,

992
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.159
<v Speaker 1>you definitely do this for now, and then if you

993
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:39.880
<v Speaker 1>have the capacity later, if it makes sense, it can

994
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:41.920
<v Speaker 1>come to switch to it at any point. I don't

995
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:44.039
<v Speaker 1>think anyone who's buying the Switch to expecting this game

996
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:46.119
<v Speaker 1>to be there, and there aren't a lot of Battlefield

997
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:49.000
<v Speaker 1>fans currently demanding it there. But that could change if

998
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the game becomes very popular and people are like, I

999
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:53.679
<v Speaker 1>wish I could play that on the Switch too, and

1000
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:56.599
<v Speaker 1>then they could do it then. Although maybe it'll never

1001
00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>be a perfect fit. I do think like we'll test

1002
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.480
<v Speaker 1>things out with Madden for see how things go. And

1003
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:04.199
<v Speaker 1>then determine whether they can find an audience for other

1004
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:06.199
<v Speaker 1>kinds of games as they see what that does in

1005
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>Apex legends. So maybe it'll be a couple of years

1006
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:12.599
<v Speaker 1>before Battlefield six shows up on switch to, but I

1007
00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:13.880
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

1008
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Don't get hasty here. EA is already supporting the switch

1009
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to with four games. They can't, they can't stretch themselves

1010
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:26.320
<v Speaker 2>out any further. But no, but I I'm with you

1011
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:28.320
<v Speaker 2>on that. Also, I'm seeing a lot in chat that,

1012
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe the switch to simply can't run Battlefield six.

1013
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:36.440
<v Speaker 2>But I send you to yet another article that I

1014
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:39.480
<v Speaker 2>wrote myself. I'm so sorry. I keep I keep tooting

1015
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:42.679
<v Speaker 2>my own horn here. The PC specs were some of

1016
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the news that came out from Okay, I'll bring them

1017
00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:52.559
<v Speaker 2>up right now, let's do it. Come on, and as

1018
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:56.159
<v Speaker 2>my headline says, Battlefield PC specs revealed, and you won't

1019
00:49:56.239 --> 00:49:59.880
<v Speaker 2>need a military grade PC to run it. The recommended

1020
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the minimum PC requirements are a I five processor, sixteen

1021
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:08.159
<v Speaker 2>gigs of memory, and a twenty sixty or fifty six

1022
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:13.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred radion or equivalent. That's not terrible.

1023
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I would say that that like, for the GPU side

1024
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of things, that probably sounds pretty promising. For the switch to,

1025
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.559
<v Speaker 1>it will come down to the CPU. The CPU is

1026
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:28.039
<v Speaker 1>a little PS four E inside the switch to Battlefield

1027
00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:29.480
<v Speaker 1>six is next gen only? Is that what?

1028
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1029
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Because it just let's let me double check that. I

1030
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:34.920
<v Speaker 1>guess I didn't even think that the.

1031
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Next gen only. There was a whole article about how

1032
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.199
<v Speaker 2>they were skipping PS four and I'm saying next gen.

1033
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I know it's current gen everybody, but god, it's you know,

1034
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we still have that other gin that's current as well,

1035
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:45.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's a weird thing to talk about. Yeah, I

1036
00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:49.920
<v Speaker 1>imagine the CPU would probably be the issue because they

1037
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.039
<v Speaker 1>are going to have like sixty four on sixty four

1038
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:53.440
<v Speaker 1>battles or something like that. Is it one hundred and

1039
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight players, or even if it's sixty four players

1040
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:58.079
<v Speaker 1>total thirty two on thirty two, that might be a

1041
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:01.559
<v Speaker 1>little difficult for the switch two's CPU with everything else

1042
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:04.199
<v Speaker 1>going on. And if there's a lot of destruction that

1043
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.639
<v Speaker 1>runs on the CPU as well, more than likely and

1044
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.480
<v Speaker 1>simulating that with everything else going on, so I could

1045
00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:12.079
<v Speaker 1>see there just be an issues there. I don't think

1046
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:14.679
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be impossible to solve though. If they

1047
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:16.719
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get Battlefield six on switch to, I think

1048
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.239
<v Speaker 1>they could, But would it be worth it. That'll be

1049
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a conversation. Honestly, The answer might on a probably be

1050
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:24.599
<v Speaker 1>no in a couple of years, even where it's like, oh, okay,

1051
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the game is super popular, but it would just take

1052
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:28.639
<v Speaker 1>too much work to get it on the switch to.

1053
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:33.639
<v Speaker 1>That could be possible, all right, let's do this. Next one.

1054
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection physical editions announced. This is from

1055
00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:42.280
<v Speaker 1>sal Ramano at Kamatsu. Publisher Atari and developer Digital Eclipse

1056
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:45.599
<v Speaker 1>have announced physical editions of Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection for

1057
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.800
<v Speaker 1>PlayStation five, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One consoles, switch

1058
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:54.559
<v Speaker 1>to and PC. Mortal Kombat Trilogy has also been confirmed

1059
00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:57.400
<v Speaker 1>as playable game in the collection. You were telling me

1060
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:00.840
<v Speaker 1>this that the Mortal Kombat Collection are mort kind Bat Trilogy.

1061
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me of fan favor, right, In a lot of ways,

1062
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a weird game. It's got a lot of quirks

1063
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to it, but people love those quirks, and so this

1064
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:12.519
<v Speaker 1>wasn't confirmed up until this point, and now it's in

1065
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:14.679
<v Speaker 1>there and people seem to be pretty happy about it.

1066
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's It came out in like ninety six. It

1067
00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:23.719
<v Speaker 2>was on PS, Dreamcast and N sixty four, and it

1068
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:28.800
<v Speaker 2>basically mashed all of the two D Mortal Kombat characters

1069
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:34.000
<v Speaker 2>into one big game. It's wild, it's dumb, it's unbalanced,

1070
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.599
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, it's fun. If you're going to make a

1071
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:38.719
<v Speaker 2>legacy collection, you have to include it, simply for the

1072
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:42.760
<v Speaker 2>sheer insanity. I do think they're using the PlayStation or

1073
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Dreamcast addition, not the N sixty four because if you

1074
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:49.840
<v Speaker 2>look at there was a thirty second trailer teaser that

1075
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:52.159
<v Speaker 2>came out with the announcement, and if you look at it,

1076
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:55.480
<v Speaker 2>it shows the character select screen for trilogy and it

1077
00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:01.239
<v Speaker 2>has the full it wasn't it wasn't dream castor and

1078
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry it was Saturn. Sorry right right right, my

1079
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:06.920
<v Speaker 2>dream kid, thank you for the correction. But it has

1080
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the full uh character select screen that the N sixty

1081
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:14.880
<v Speaker 2>four characters were missing a row, and the one in

1082
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:17.719
<v Speaker 2>this in this game, in this trailer was not missing it.

1083
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:23.199
<v Speaker 2>So we're getting PS one and Saturn specifically. I don't

1084
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:25.559
<v Speaker 2>know if that means we'll get both versions, because they

1085
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.079
<v Speaker 2>do like to put the handheld versions and Superintendo versions

1086
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and the arcade versions of the older games that remains

1087
00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:33.760
<v Speaker 2>to be seen. Maybe we'll get that answer on the

1088
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:35.880
<v Speaker 2>EBO show floor. Maybe they'll have options and you can

1089
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.480
<v Speaker 2>play whichever one you want. But I think it's neat.

1090
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really cool that it's here and it's

1091
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and we're now at the precipice not to ignore, not

1092
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to like brush over this announcement, because it is cool,

1093
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:49.440
<v Speaker 2>but now we're at the precipice of what's next, because

1094
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:52.440
<v Speaker 2>all you really have left now is the PS two era?

1095
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Is the PS two? Are you going to put the

1096
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:56.760
<v Speaker 2>PS two era in here? Are you going to get

1097
00:53:56.840 --> 00:54:01.639
<v Speaker 2>weird and put and put Mortal Kombat? Mitch ologies, Yeah,

1098
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:04.360
<v Speaker 2>you bet it? What do you? What are you gonna do? Like,

1099
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:06.760
<v Speaker 2>but there's there's some weird directions you could take this

1100
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:10.719
<v Speaker 2>legacy collection, and I'm genuinely curious where that's going to go.

1101
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:14.280
<v Speaker 2>But like this was like the last hurdle before you

1102
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.840
<v Speaker 2>got to that era, and now that this isn't it,

1103
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:20.119
<v Speaker 2>it's sky's limit? Man, what do you got for us?

1104
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm slowly getting more excited as the uh, as the

1105
00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:25.039
<v Speaker 2>release gets closer.

1106
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so it's uh, it's definitely one of those things

1107
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:30.039
<v Speaker 1>where I look at this and it's like, I hope

1108
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they just kind of put everything in here. But Digital

1109
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Eclipse recently has been updating Atari fifty with like expansion packs.

1110
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.559
<v Speaker 1>DLC drops, Yes, it's so cool, and it's like, Okay,

1111
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:42.199
<v Speaker 1>now we're gonna do a bunch of I think they're

1112
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.400
<v Speaker 1>doing Namco games that came out on the Atari, and

1113
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:48.239
<v Speaker 1>they have a whole dedicated thing for that. I wonder

1114
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:50.440
<v Speaker 1>if that like might be one of plans here is Okay,

1115
00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:53.400
<v Speaker 1>make this initial package really enticing, get a lot of

1116
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:56.199
<v Speaker 1>people in there, for sure, But what if we did

1117
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Mortal Kombat spin offs as its own thing later as

1118
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:03.320
<v Speaker 1>DLC so we can continue to support this game, or

1119
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:06.880
<v Speaker 1>even potentially a Mortal Kombat a Legacy Collection two which

1120
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.079
<v Speaker 1>then does like maybe talk about the PS two games

1121
00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and some of the other stuff, and it tries to

1122
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:13.719
<v Speaker 1>get them all collected. I hope at the very least

1123
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:15.840
<v Speaker 1>we get one or the other. Just one thing I

1124
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:18.000
<v Speaker 1>hope here is that it doesn't end with this. I

1125
00:55:18.039 --> 00:55:20.960
<v Speaker 1>want them to just keep mining the history of Mortal

1126
00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Kombat and then when you get done with that, move

1127
00:55:23.079 --> 00:55:25.239
<v Speaker 1>on to the next awesome big thing after proving what

1128
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you can do, because I think they've already proven to

1129
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:29.519
<v Speaker 1>a certain extent just how cool this can be with

1130
00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Atari fifty and several of the other things that they've

1131
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:34.159
<v Speaker 1>done that. But this does feel like a step up

1132
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:38.119
<v Speaker 1>in terms of, oh, we're getting a legacy collection from

1133
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:40.840
<v Speaker 1>this generation of stuff of Mortal Kombat games that does

1134
00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:43.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like even more current or like that's going to

1135
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:46.639
<v Speaker 1>hit nostalgia for a lot more players, And so that

1136
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is exciting, and I hope that this kind of just

1137
00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:52.519
<v Speaker 1>is a springboard for them to do this exact strategy

1138
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:55.639
<v Speaker 1>with a ton of other franchises. Mortal Kombat is such

1139
00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:57.199
<v Speaker 1>a good first one though, in that.

1140
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:00.559
<v Speaker 2>It really really is. And if you go back to

1141
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:03.639
<v Speaker 2>like the Legend of Karatica, they did that too in

1142
00:56:03.719 --> 00:56:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that gold Master series that the Jeff minter Lamasoft game.

1143
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.559
<v Speaker 2>They I love these little interactive museums that they're doing.

1144
00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:12.400
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible for wild stuff.

1145
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:15.920
<v Speaker 1>All Right, that does it for the headlines. We have

1146
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:18.639
<v Speaker 1>a poll question from yesterday. We need to wrap up.

1147
00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and get that real quick, do we go?

1148
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Let me prefer oh did I not post the poll question?

1149
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Of course? Jans out and I forget to do this

1150
00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:27.599
<v Speaker 1>all right, so we'll catch you on that next week.

1151
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:31.599
<v Speaker 1>That's how it goes. Everybody's too much other things going on, right.

1152
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:34.519
<v Speaker 1>We did a good job yesterday of holding on to everything,

1153
00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:36.679
<v Speaker 1>but there definitely some things fall through the cracks like that.

1154
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:39.679
<v Speaker 1>So we'll get that updated. We'll do that next week.

1155
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:42.320
<v Speaker 1>But that means we'll get to the bomb twelve here

1156
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:45.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty soon before we do that, though, Jason Finelli, why

1157
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:46.599
<v Speaker 1>don't you tell people where they could find you on

1158
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the internet what you have going on and all that good.

1159
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Stuff at Jasonfinelli dot com, on Blue Sky, big Man Finella,

1160
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.800
<v Speaker 2>everywhere else was covering the battlefield stuff. We'll be looking

1161
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:00.760
<v Speaker 2>at EVA all week. If anything's breaking, I will post

1162
00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:02.599
<v Speaker 2>it on social and then probably get an article up

1163
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:06.599
<v Speaker 2>on game Spot at some point MMORPG. I do moonlight

1164

1165
00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:11.639
<v Speaker 2>owe them some articles as well. I'm still still behind

00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:01.960
<v Speaker 1>We should just to make a video game for Giant Bomb,

1183
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:03.280
<v Speaker 1>another one, a second one.

1184
00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, hidden gimmicks. Just take fruits and pictures of

1185
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:09.559
<v Speaker 2>like different shows and hide gimmicks.

1186
00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:10.639
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

1187
00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I love that. But yeah, so that's what I'm doing.

1188
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:14.559
<v Speaker 2>That's what I have going on.

1189
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:18.679
<v Speaker 1>But this weekend it's EVO and wrestling baby hell yeah.

1190
00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:21.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, fantastic Chason, thank you so much for this

1191
00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:23.800
<v Speaker 1>whole week. It's been awesome to hang out with you

1192
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:26.679
<v Speaker 1>and you, like, like I was saying, last night. Easy

1193
00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:28.079
<v Speaker 1>to have someone on that I can trust to like

1194
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:31.159
<v Speaker 1>know what they're talking about. Very good time. All right,

1195
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:35.559
<v Speaker 1>let's do the Bomb twelve everybody, I have it ready

1196
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:39.519
<v Speaker 1>on this screen. There we go. The Bomb twelve is

1197
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:43.559
<v Speaker 1>the event of the week where we ask you, hey,

1198
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:46.000
<v Speaker 1>what are the games that matter to you right now? Actually,

1199
00:58:46.039 --> 00:58:48.679
<v Speaker 1>what's your game? The one game that you want to

1200
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:52.480
<v Speaker 1>put on this list? We got some responses. Let's you

1201
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:54.159
<v Speaker 1>know what, let's kind of do the top three because

1202
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:57.039
<v Speaker 1>that hasn't changed much from last week. It did flip

1203
00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.159
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three does need

1204
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:02.800
<v Speaker 1>to pick up momentum. It's number two, while Donkey Kong

1205
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Binanza remains at number one. That does mean destraating too,

1206
00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:07.400
<v Speaker 1>which still has a lot of players on this list,

1207
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:11.320
<v Speaker 1>dropping down to number three. But man, Jason claib Scare

1208
00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:14.280
<v Speaker 1>just feels like this thing is going to turn into

1209
00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:17.159
<v Speaker 1>a moment for a lot of people, Like I remember

1210
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:19.320
<v Speaker 1>where I was when I first played that first claib

1211
00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Scare game, because more and more people are playing it

1212
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:22.440
<v Speaker 1>each week.

1213
00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's we talked about this last night. It's

1214
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:30.800
<v Speaker 2>on my it's on my next list. I am did

1215
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:31.199
<v Speaker 2>you see it?

1216
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna pick alphix it right now. Yes, let's

1217
00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:33.440
<v Speaker 1>do it.

1218
00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okaylet to say anything. I like saying Wu Chong

1219
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:40.320
<v Speaker 2>at number four. I was not sure if people would

1220
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:44.280
<v Speaker 2>really cling on to that, but it's cool to see

1221
00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:47.599
<v Speaker 2>it on this list. Grounded two, which I believe hit

1222
00:59:47.639 --> 00:59:50.039
<v Speaker 2>early access earlier this week. Nice to see that there

1223
00:59:50.360 --> 00:59:53.320
<v Speaker 2>one hundred line Last Defense Academy, which is another big

1224
00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:56.760
<v Speaker 2>gaping hole in my backlog because I loved Dangan Rampa,

1225
00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:58.760
<v Speaker 2>so I think that one will be very much my shit.

1226
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Tony pro Skater three and four, that's cool. That's stranding

1227
01:00:03.079 --> 01:00:06.440
<v Speaker 2>too holding on to that top spot. No, it's just

1228
01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:08.679
<v Speaker 2>just chat help me figure out what should go a

1229
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:09.239
<v Speaker 2>number five.

1230
01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>So what we The problem we have right now is

1231
01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to swap out one of the Monster Trained twos,

1232
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>so it's at five and seven. So I'm gonna give

1233
01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:21.639
<v Speaker 1>chat the opportunity to right now determine live what's gonna

1234
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>go at number five, and we'll see if we can

1235
01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>come up with consensus really quick. So shout it out.

1236
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:28.599
<v Speaker 1>What do you got anthem? Fortnite?

1237
01:00:29.239 --> 01:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>We killed the game?

1238
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yes, you know what that is? The one. Everyone's

1239
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>got it all right there, because there were a lot

1240
01:00:34.199 --> 01:00:36.079
<v Speaker 1>of people in the list who were playing this, and

1241
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I probably did mean to intend to get in on there.

1242
01:00:38.719 --> 01:00:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Uma masum, there you go. And then I'm gonna go

1243
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>callen pretty Derby because that's the subtitle that game. All right,

1244
01:00:48.519 --> 01:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>So let's recap the whole list now. Number twelve is

1245
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the one hundred line Last Defense Academy Number eleven, No

1246
01:00:55.679 --> 01:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Sleep for Economy Dotte from I the Sosomdium files. Yes,

1247
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you freaks made it happen. I know there was a

1248
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>concerted effort. I know there were yes words. I know

1249
01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>there was a concerted effort to get this on here.

1250
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>But there were a couple of those. And I'll tell

1251
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you one thing I noticed that well I'm not gonna

1252
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>tell people how. I noticed that they were trying to

1253
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>cheat the system so they don't try to do it

1254
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>or try to figure a way around it. But no

1255
01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Sleep for Economy Dotte. That one seemed legitimate. So congratulations

1256
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to you freaks for getting on here. Number ten is

1257
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>wheel World Number nine Tony Yuks frost Kitter three plus

1258
01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:28.599
<v Speaker 1>four dropped quite a bit, but still in the bomb twelve,

1259
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>so good for it grounded at number eight grind this

1260
01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>is grounded two. This just popped off in early access.

1261
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be interested to see if this moves up

1262
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>or down, Jason, because this feels like one of those

1263
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>games that you know, it's a survival, a crafting game.

1264
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Those things when they pop off, they pop off. So really,

1265
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>do is this going to be one of those or

1266
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>is it going to be like kind of you know,

1267
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:53.599
<v Speaker 1>middle of the road. We'll see number seven Monster Trained

1268
01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to number six Final Fantasy fourteen there are is this

1269
01:01:58.480 --> 01:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>just the game that I think this might be the

1270
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>game some people just play because there were so much

1271
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>freaks there, Yes, talk about breaks. More respondents this week

1272
01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:07.239
<v Speaker 1>for this game than last week. I think Final Fantasy

1273
01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:08.719
<v Speaker 1>fourteen might be a permanent thing on here.

1274
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think that's going anywhere. It's just it

1275
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>when people, people get and when it gets in the

1276
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>hooks it's hooks into people. It gets its hooks into people.

1277
01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:21.039
<v Speaker 2>And there are I know, many, many dozens of people

1278
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:24.239
<v Speaker 2>who play it hours still every week just love it,

1279
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>love it, love it and get you know, all all

1280
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>sorts of pleasure out of it. That's you know, I

1281
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:33.079
<v Speaker 2>would not be surprised to see that in like lowell

1282
01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>moments throughout the year. As you keep doing this, bump

1283
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>its way up into the top three.

1284
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Number five Uma Masume pretty derby. I don't know if

1285
01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I spilled Uma Masume correct, but whatever. Number four Wuchong

1286
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Fallen Feathers. Yeah, there were quite a few respondents for that.

1287
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:48.199
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome, you know, new game popping off. People seem

1288
01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to be into it. And then again number three Death

1289
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Stranding to number two Clare Obscure Expedition thirty three and

1290
01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>number one Donkey Kong Bonanza. Let's be clear the on

1291
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the spreadsheet when I'm just kind of like eyeballing it, Jason,

1292
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Donkey Kong Bonanza goes on for pages and pages. It

1293
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>is a ton of people playing that game. Seems like

1294
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a smash hit based on the early still anecdotal evidence

1295
01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that we're collecting over here, but it definitely deserves to

1296
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>still be number one. I will be interested to see, like,

1297
01:03:18.199 --> 01:03:19.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, what do we have a good idea of,

1298
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:21.679
<v Speaker 1>like what could replace it? Jason, Like what is the

1299
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:24.039
<v Speaker 1>next big game that you think is going to be

1300
01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>number one on the bomb twelve?

1301
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean short term, I think it's going to be

1302
01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>clear obscure. I think it's going to keep going. Oh

1303
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I like that, okay eventually, but once once bonanza kind

1304
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:38.119
<v Speaker 2>of you know, tapers off here. But man, that's tough.

1305
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Like what Metal Delta?

1306
01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Delta? Is it Delta?

1307
01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it could, yeah, because it's just you get

1308
01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>the nostalgia people and the people who have never played

1309
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:51.079
<v Speaker 2>a Melagyear before and people who haven't played Medal Gear

1310
01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Solid three. Jeff, Yeah, that they are going to play that.

1311
01:03:55.360 --> 01:04:00.599
<v Speaker 2>So that based on the previews, this little ether in

1312
01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>the year. But that's Silent Hill out f seems really crazy. Yep,

1313
01:04:04.760 --> 01:04:05.559
<v Speaker 2>that perfectly one.

1314
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean you know the horror game freaks will show

1315
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>up for that one, as well as the Silent Hill fans,

1316
01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:13.719
<v Speaker 1>which there are are legion. So yeah, that feels like

1317
01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>one that's guaranteed to hit one when when it comes

1318
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>out for sure. So yeah, I think Delta probably sounds right.

1319
01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>But who knows, we'll be surprised. That's the possibilities with

1320
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the with the Bomb twelve, we never know what's going

1321
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to happen. So I will put out a new call

1322
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:27.719
<v Speaker 1>for Hey, what is your game this week? I'll probably

1323
01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>do that on Sunday, or Monday. That's going to be

1324
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:31.639
<v Speaker 1>on my Blue Sky. I'll try to pin that so

1325
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>people can find it pretty easily. But we might also

1326
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>put that up on giant bomb dot com. I might

1327
01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:39.559

1328
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bomb twelve and people can find the details there.

1329
01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's exciting. I like doing this. This is

1330
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:48.679
<v Speaker 1>a fun thing to kind of keep track of. If

1331
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:51.559
<v Speaker 1>people are into this, let me know, and if you

1332
01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:54.119
<v Speaker 1>have any ideas for the Bomb twelve, I'd love to

1333
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>hear them when we want to keep making this an

1334
01:04:56.119 --> 01:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>exciting way to end the week. One more time. Jason Fonelli,

01:05:04.639 --> 01:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. I love doing it. I love talking about games.

1338
01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I love being on this show with you, with you,

1339
01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Mook's here a giant bomb. It's a lot of fun.

1340
01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Regular week next week, unofficial Faily week is over. Uff

1341
01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:18.679
<v Speaker 2>is done. Everybody will be back, but I am here.

1342
01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:21.199
<v Speaker 2>If you ever need me, let's talk about games with me.

1343
01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, that sounds fantastic. We will do exactly that.

1344
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you all for hanging out with us this week

1345
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. We're not done. UPF, will be later, might

1346
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>do something between now and then as well, kind of

1347
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:35.679
<v Speaker 1>depending on how how fast I can get it set

1348
01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:38.159
<v Speaker 1>up for UPF, because again I got to run everything myself.

1349
01:05:38.159 --> 01:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened yesterday, Jason. I was like, I'm gonna

1350
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>try to play some skies at Arcadia, and then it

1351
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>took me an hour and a half to get things

1352
01:05:43.599 --> 01:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>set up for voicemail dump truck on the VM. But

1353
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>we got there eventually. So we'll see what happens today,

1354
01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to make it all happen. Yes, and then, Jason,

1355
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>anything else looks like you were gonna say something.

1356
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>And chat said, had a great idea where you show

1357
01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>some of the games that get one vote every week.

1358
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's right. We were going to do that yet

1359
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>call it the dou twelve. Yes. I wanted to put

1360
01:06:05.880 --> 01:06:07.679
<v Speaker 1>them in the graphic, which is why they're like, we

1361
01:06:07.920 --> 01:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have it here, but there is uh okay, one

1362
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:12.639
<v Speaker 1>person for mic Opunk. We played that a little bit ago.

1363
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it. But one person for mico Punk. Let's

1364
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.199
<v Speaker 1>see here, h only a couple of people for Peak.

1365
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, Peak is like this dominant thing, but you know,

1366
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I think the way we have it phrased. The question

1367
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>is what is your game? I think there's gonna be

1368
01:06:26.199 --> 01:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of games that are like, well, of course

1369
01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I go play Peak with my friends already, but my

1370
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>game right now is and they want to like, say

1371
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>something cool, That's how I would feel about it. And

1372
01:06:34.199 --> 01:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I want that to be the energy that goes into

1373
01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the Bomb twelve. I want it to be something you're

1374
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>like proud to tell people about, because like, you've got

1375
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>to try this game. That's what the Bomb twelve should be.

1376
01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:46.079
<v Speaker 1>So Peak not being exactly that, but still being like

1377
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:50.199
<v Speaker 1>this monster thing makes sense to me. Let's see here,

1378
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:53.239
<v Speaker 1>uh see if I can find a couple other one

1379
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:56.559
<v Speaker 1>vote getters a Stalker two. One vote for Stalker two,

1380
01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:03.559
<v Speaker 1>one vote for Stellar Blade actually soon the one Gooners

1381
01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>still out there, one vote for UFO fifty. Yeah, there's

1382
01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be games that were like probably a lot of

1383
01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:11.599
<v Speaker 1>people's one game last year, and there's a few people

1384
01:07:11.639 --> 01:07:15.079
<v Speaker 1>getting around to it right now. And of course how

1385
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>do we miss this one one vote for it, but

1386
01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>it's maybe the most important vote for wet Tricks. For

1387
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:25.079
<v Speaker 1>wet Tricks, everybody the wet Tetris. We'll get, you know,

1388
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:27.199
<v Speaker 1>What this means is we're gonna get a lot more

1389
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:28.519
<v Speaker 1>wet Tricks votes next month.

1390
01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I know you're skewing the vote. Poor poor

1391
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Ninja Guiden rage Bound has an actual claim on this list,

1392
01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and now we're just gonna get a bunch of wetriss.

1393
01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Yep, let's uh rage bound. I'm sure we'll probably be

1394
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:43.559
<v Speaker 1>represented next week for uh wet tricks and stuff like this.

1395
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to come up with some threshold for

1396
01:07:45.719 --> 01:07:47.599
<v Speaker 1>like when I can tell it's a joke and there's

1397
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:49.079
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people are trying to get on the list,

1398
01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like, okay, you have more than this number, the

1399
01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:54.559
<v Speaker 1>joke worked, and I'll put it on the list. But

1400
01:07:54.639 --> 01:07:56.519
<v Speaker 1>anything anything below that, it's like, no, I'm not going

1401
01:07:56.559 --> 01:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to even acknowledge it. We'll see all right. We were

1402
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:01.159
<v Speaker 1>wrapping this show up. Thank you once again to everybody

1403

01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>on giant bomb. That wouldn't make good difference. But I
