Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's not Tuesday, it's Friday. And I know
Speaker 1: the audio was doubled up there. I hopefully didn't ruin
Speaker 1: the audio too much. I'm still figuring stuff out after
Speaker 1: I ruined everything on the Dumb Truck yesterday. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Jeff Grubb. This is the Giant BombCast Revengeance for the week.
Speaker 1: We are gonna be talking about some video games here.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. I am joined by an all
Speaker 1: star cast including sewn Terbo Sean McDowell. How are you doing, Sean,
Speaker 1: I'm excellent.
Speaker 2: Jeff, I got my Baja blast to watch down this
Speaker 2: excellent podcast with and for both Dan and Mike. Since
Speaker 2: I got both of you on the show today, watch
Speaker 2: y'all know that I drank.
Speaker 3: Do Hell yeah, that's a fun, fancy fourteen Mountain Dew shirt. Dan, Look,
Speaker 3: we can come together. This is going to the world crossover.
Speaker 4: That's Mike Games dot Com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fantasy fourteen today, Mountain Do collaboration. You can collect
Speaker 3: coach from Mountain Do. I have a Mountain Dew themed
Speaker 3: mount in the key that I can fly around.
Speaker 2: So good. Because there's a creature in Final Fantasy called
Speaker 2: the Zoo and you can get a Mondu color zoo
Speaker 2: that's called the Mountain Zoo. It's so good. I love it.
Speaker 5: My genuine kneed jerk reaction to that news in my
Speaker 5: head was, Wow, that's actually really bold of Mountain Dew
Speaker 5: to do a partnership with such a niche game.
Speaker 3: Oh, Dan, this was supposed to bring us together and
Speaker 3: you had to go so many millions.
Speaker 2: And millions of players and no way.
Speaker 5: Next Dan Riker from Giant Bomb, Dan, are you doing
Speaker 5: I'm doing great.
Speaker 6: How are you, Jeff Grebb?
Speaker 1: I'm excellent. I'm happy to be here talking about uh
Speaker 1: a video game. I guess in Final Fantasy fourteen.
Speaker 4: I don't know. It kind of just looks like a
Speaker 4: clicker to me. I can't tell.
Speaker 6: It's like the Banana game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Banana game. Final Fantasy four Team pretty much
Speaker 4: the same thing.
Speaker 6: I'll let you know.
Speaker 2: I am a real gamer. I play Final Fantasy four
Speaker 2: Team with a controller.
Speaker 4: Okay, well that changes things a little bit.
Speaker 6: Is it on commerce?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Oh yeah, it's on Xbox two as well,
Speaker 2: but it's been on PlayStation since almost the beginning of
Speaker 2: the rebooth.
Speaker 6: It was on PlayStation three.
Speaker 5: Dan, how do you do a game with all the
Speaker 5: crazy menu stuff like that on a contolt.
Speaker 2: Oh it's really it's really well thought out. You just
Speaker 2: like hold, I just realized.
Speaker 6: I don't care. Let's go, let's move on.
Speaker 1: Ah, We're gonna talk about Marvel Rivals a handful of
Speaker 1: other things, and then we're gonna do a mount rushmore
Speaker 1: of Mario Party mini games.
Speaker 4: And Dan sent me like twenty five links to open,
Speaker 4: and I got them all here ready for everybody.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna see if I can paste it in the
Speaker 5: Chase bookmark folders so I can copy them.
Speaker 2: All That went to actually very useful. Thank you for this.
Speaker 6: Ye you can see images of it.
Speaker 7: It's very very Yeah, it's handy.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: But before we do that, we are going to talk about.
Speaker 1: A handful of games, and you know, let's see if
Speaker 1: I can just here we go there you go all right?
Speaker 7: Oh wow, this is the music they play when we
Speaker 7: talk about games.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about a video game. Yesterday was it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yesterday we played Marvel Rivals, and by we I mean myself,
Speaker 1: Mike Minatti and Turbo Sean, and I mostly enjoyed myself.
Speaker 1: A big part of it is I don't have high
Speaker 1: expectations for that game. I also don't really care if
Speaker 1: it does well, So I'm just kind of going in like, hey,
Speaker 1: entertain me. And it succeeded at that, and I'm I
Speaker 1: think it goes a little bit beyond that, Like it
Speaker 1: more than just succeeds at that.
Speaker 4: It's I think it's a pretty decent game. A big
Speaker 4: part of that is it's really really just Overwatch, right.
Speaker 7: It is Overwatch. It's as shameless as it gets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Overwatch phloss. You know. They did add
Speaker 2: some stuff on top of it, but is like Overwatch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're not just like yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 7: Not just a gameplay, but like the UI very similar,
Speaker 7: like the sound as I or some of the.
Speaker 3: Art style very similar, you know, like a lot of
Speaker 3: same moves and stuff. And sometimes that's like, oh there's
Speaker 3: a character of a shotgun that's like and that's a
Speaker 3: little like yeah. But then like the version of star
Speaker 3: Lord very much like Tracer, right, you have like the
Speaker 3: two dual pistols you kind of run around. It's sead
Speaker 3: of like the zipping he kind of does like a jump,
Speaker 3: but it's effectively very similar.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, And you know what they do is is
Speaker 1: they take Overwatch characters and they push them together into one,
Speaker 1: which is what I mean, Like, yeah, he's like Tracer,
Speaker 1: but he also does have reapers like shoot in every
Speaker 1: direction sort of thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Reapers Ultimate exactly.
Speaker 3: Then like Punisher is a big example of that because
Speaker 3: like he has a shotgun kind of Greeper, then he
Speaker 3: has like an assault rifle kind of like Soldier, and
Speaker 3: then he can have a turret form kind of like
Speaker 3: best Right now, part of it it's like, Okay, how
Speaker 3: many abilities will there really be and kinds of guns
Speaker 3: can there really be in a game with this? Even
Speaker 3: Overwatch is kind of starting to I don't want to
Speaker 3: say recycle, but you know, like the new Healer and
Speaker 3: Overwatch shoots people to heal them kind of like on
Speaker 3: And of course there's like some differences there, but yeah,
Speaker 3: there's only there's only so many things we can do
Speaker 3: it a while, so.
Speaker 2: Many ways you can fire a gun. Yeah, But what's
Speaker 2: doing it for me is the fact that something that
Speaker 2: I think both the casual audience is really gonna love
Speaker 2: and is really good for competitive play is the team
Speaker 2: up attacks, which everyone just loves team up attacks in
Speaker 2: any game, you know, like fighting games and anything like
Speaker 2: that you love seeing two characters like get together. It's
Speaker 2: like I think about a Dragon Ball Fighters where you
Speaker 2: get like Gohan and doing the like family kamehameha, like
Speaker 2: that stuff is sick and so in here, when you
Speaker 2: pair up say Rocket Raccoon and Groot or all of
Speaker 2: the Spider people like Spidery, Venom and Penny Parker, they
Speaker 2: will do something new and unique, whether it be having
Speaker 2: a stronger ability or just a passive. I think most
Speaker 2: of them are passives that they can give to each other. Like,
Speaker 2: for example, I was playing Rocket, Mike was playing Punisher,
Speaker 2: since they're both gun guys, like they have something going
Speaker 2: on there. So I could like give Mike at buff
Speaker 2: for where temporarily he would have unlimited AMMO and shoot faster.
Speaker 2: That was just something I'd give because we built our
Speaker 2: team around that. And what's very smart about it is
Speaker 2: that also on the competitive side of things, encourages people
Speaker 2: do have a well built team because all those team
Speaker 2: ups are pairing like a tank and a healer, or
Speaker 2: like an offensive person a defensive person. Yeah, it's encouraging.
Speaker 2: It's encouraging you to not just pick your favorites.
Speaker 1: Or like they're very specific circumstantial abilities, like when you
Speaker 1: team up Black Panther and Magic. When you have those
Speaker 1: two on your team at the same time, you just
Speaker 1: get a long distance teleport that you can use whenever
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 4: You could just like.
Speaker 1: Aim your hit the sea button on the keyboard, aim
Speaker 1: the teleporter, and you can go get behind enemy lines
Speaker 1: basically and attack them from behind. And that's going to
Speaker 1: be useful when you need to do that. You don't
Speaker 1: always need to have your characters behind enemy lines sometimes,
Speaker 1: in fact that sometimes it's a bad idea. So you're
Speaker 1: going to use that sparingly now. I was using it
Speaker 1: a lot because I'm trying to figure out the game still,
Speaker 1: but you can see from a strategic point.
Speaker 4: Of view, you just kind of want to hold back. Now.
Speaker 1: Part of me is like, it's weird that I have
Speaker 1: this ability that feels kind of basic that I could
Speaker 1: just like teleport a little bit further and I could
Speaker 1: only use it if someone else is playing that character,
Speaker 1: and then and then there is no like build up
Speaker 1: to it. It is there is no like, okay, as
Speaker 1: long as we work together or for close it's like no,
Speaker 1: as long as there's these two people are on the team,
Speaker 1: it works. So part of it feels a little bit
Speaker 1: like underwhelming or not super well thought out or not
Speaker 1: like synergistic in a lot of ways. And yet I'm like, whatever,
Speaker 1: it was really cool to watch you as Rocky and
Speaker 1: Raccoon jump on Groot's shoulders and run.
Speaker 3: Around, right, And I do wonder if it's ever going
Speaker 3: to be a problem where, you know, people who want
Speaker 3: to play the competitive mode or tickets slightly more seriously,
Speaker 3: are ever going to be like, you can't play a
Speaker 3: character who doesn't have one of these semup attacks. They
Speaker 3: are not necessarily a lot of those, right, Like most
Speaker 3: characters might work with one other person or maybe two.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's any that don't have any
Speaker 3: of them, but yeah, so maybe that's the thing. But
Speaker 3: I really was having fun. I like Overwatch a lot,
Speaker 3: and it's kind of just fun to play new Overwatch, right.
Speaker 4: That's kind of what it feels like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I've complained about Overwatch two and all
Speaker 7: these things.
Speaker 3: Part of that is just I played Overwatch a lot, right,
Speaker 3: and you know, they do things like they can add
Speaker 3: new maps, new characters, new modes, but it's still Overwatch,
Speaker 3: and it's kind of a game that I maybe has
Speaker 3: just run out of juice a little bit with so
Speaker 3: just playing something that is here's completely new heroes, you know,
Speaker 3: here's completely new maps, and of course a lot of
Speaker 3: it is derivative and familiar, but still ultimately new and
Speaker 3: still not figured out. And everybody is kind of in
Speaker 3: that same boat again of playing something that's new. We
Speaker 3: don't all immediately know who the best characters are, who
Speaker 3: the worst characters are, and.
Speaker 7: Things like that. So kind of fun being part of
Speaker 7: that figuring out phase again.
Speaker 1: Right, So, and then that's just where we're at with
Speaker 1: this game, where it is one of these games that
Speaker 1: we there's a chance we play it once, we never
Speaker 1: play it again. And how useful is it for us
Speaker 1: to come in here and tell you, oh, I had
Speaker 1: fun for this one weekend? Is that what most people
Speaker 1: are looking for for something, especially for a free to
Speaker 1: play game you can go try yourself once it's available.
Speaker 1: Right now, I think you still have to get your
Speaker 1: hands on a code, which is not super easy, it's
Speaker 1: not possible, but you get to be watching people on Twitch.
Speaker 4: For a drop or whatever.
Speaker 2: But like I think you're also coming specifically you, Jeff,
Speaker 2: But because like Mike plays a decent amount of multiplayer games,
Speaker 2: but I think you specifically don't play as my multiplayer
Speaker 2: like online games much Anymoreah exactly. So I'm looking at
Speaker 2: from the perspective of someone who does, you know, at
Speaker 2: least once a week get together with my friends and
Speaker 2: we spend a few hours playing some game. For me,
Speaker 2: it is very easy for me to go and my
Speaker 2: friends and say, because we've been talking about, like, man,
Speaker 2: we miss Overwatch. Those were the good old days. We
Speaker 2: were still like some of us we're still like in
Speaker 2: college and everything, so we're sort of doing like the
Speaker 2: late night stuff and kind of like, you know, just
Speaker 2: hanging out and you know, it was fun times. We
Speaker 2: kind of want to go back to that, and then
Speaker 2: we're like, yeah, but Overwatch sucks now. So if I
Speaker 2: can go to them and say, guys, this is the
Speaker 2: good Overwatch, like, I can just instantly get them in,
Speaker 2: get them playing, and we had a Yeah, we had
Speaker 2: a blast. I think that's the audience they were going for,
Speaker 2: and I think they are going to succeed there. How
Speaker 2: much it does be on that, we'll see. I think
Speaker 2: just having the Marvel license is going to go a
Speaker 2: long way, especially when you do have just a very
Speaker 2: aesthetically pleasing game. People are I think some people don't
Speaker 2: like the artist style because it is like cell shaded,
Speaker 2: cartoony kind of stuff. But I mean to any anytime
Speaker 2: someone makes an argument like that, I'm just going to say,
Speaker 2: you know what, the biggest game in the world is
Speaker 2: not not exactly pushing boundaries in terms of like you know,
Speaker 2: texture equality and stuff over there.
Speaker 1: Right, So it's very clear that this game was made
Speaker 1: to run eventually on phones in low powered hardware and
Speaker 1: you know whatever, low powered laptops that kids have, like
Speaker 1: those are the kinds of things that these games need
Speaker 1: to run on. And I've always been fine with that.
Speaker 2: And I think it looks exactly.
Speaker 1: I think it looks really good an action. It's very readable.
Speaker 1: A huge part of that, of course, again is everything
Speaker 1: reads like Overwatch, so I know what everything is doing,
Speaker 1: which is actually, you know, honestly a knock against Concord
Speaker 1: where we were talking about that where it was like, hey,
Speaker 1: this isn't as readable some of these things. This this
Speaker 1: vacuum thing working.
Speaker 2: For this robot thing.
Speaker 7: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the next one example. I felt that way about
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Obviously, it's like, oh, there's something
Speaker 1: on the ground that's read I know to shoot that.
Speaker 1: I get that. But in this game, I immediately sort
Speaker 1: of understood everything that was happening. And that is another
Speaker 1: one of those things that removes that barrier of entry
Speaker 1: that you're talking.
Speaker 2: About, right, because with any online game you will need
Speaker 2: to learn how it plays, of course, but even all
Speaker 2: the little things, and like I was being a little
Speaker 2: snarky about when we were playing, I know, but like
Speaker 2: the fact that I could just like pull up my
Speaker 2: hero's abilities at any time, and that you know, when
Speaker 2: I did something like you said, the readability, I just
Speaker 2: visually understood what was happening at all times. I had
Speaker 2: to think about what the character was setting up for anything.
Speaker 2: It's just very clear, Okay, this move leads into this move,
Speaker 2: or this person says something on the ground. Oh, it
Speaker 2: looks like something that's helpful because it has like sort
Speaker 2: of a you know, friendly ara about it. On my
Speaker 2: side of things, like you know that song that's going
Speaker 2: to help me. All of all of these things just
Speaker 2: work together to make it just a better gameplay experience
Speaker 2: for me than the other herero shooter that's gonna try
Speaker 2: to be vying for people's attentions.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: I will probably want to check in on it again
Speaker 1: when it actually fully comes out. This is just a beta,
Speaker 1: but I get the sense that they might sort of
Speaker 1: roll this into a release, although I don't think they've
Speaker 1: really revealed those details one way or the other, and it.
Speaker 7: Don't seem far off.
Speaker 3: There's like already a ton of characters, like clearly enough
Speaker 3: characters for a launch roster, and things seem to be
Speaker 3: working again.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't gone to like the Marvel Rivals discord. I'm
Speaker 3: sure people are maybe complaining about so and so character
Speaker 3: being true.
Speaker 7: There's just always hard to there's.
Speaker 4: Like Wolverine, there's not a lot of the other like
Speaker 4: really well yeah, but.
Speaker 3: They're clearly holding things in their pocket, right, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: exactly what they're doing, right, Like there's no Deadpool, which,
Speaker 3: like you know that'll be a big drop obviously, things
Speaker 3: like that. But you know, like when I was playing,
Speaker 3: like some characters just immediately made sense to me, like
Speaker 3: a punisher because they shoot people, Okay, not a did
Speaker 3: Spider Man inspire me? Like can't swing and grab on
Speaker 3: the walls and that's kind of a melee combo and
Speaker 3: I was just getting destroyed. It's kind of like you
Speaker 3: my insincts always well, this is a bad character, but
Speaker 3: it could just as well be ah, maybe there's there's this,
Speaker 3: it's just complicated. I remember the first Overwatch character I
Speaker 3: ever played when I started that game was Genji and
Speaker 3: was just like shooting shirty cans, going well, this is
Speaker 3: a shooter game, right, so just throwing the shirt cans out.
Speaker 7: I'm like, well, he's still do very much damage. This
Speaker 7: is a bad character.
Speaker 3: Then that character was you know, turned out to be
Speaker 3: completely broken actually, because what you're supposed to do is
Speaker 3: it's complicated.
Speaker 7: That kills a lot of people.
Speaker 3: And on the flip side, everybody was like fashion is
Speaker 3: overpowered because he put out a lot of damage, but
Speaker 3: he had to become a stationary turret. So once people
Speaker 3: figure it out, oh, just be like a Farah or
Speaker 3: anybody or a Hanso and you can just kill him
Speaker 3: immediately because he can't move, And it's like, oh, that's
Speaker 3: actually the weakest character in the game and has since
Speaker 3: been completely reworks because he was so weak.
Speaker 7: So it takes time to figure these things.
Speaker 4: It takes exactly, yes.
Speaker 2: He'll take us time and just the game feel or
Speaker 2: what you're getting at there. I think having wacky abilities
Speaker 2: is what makes these games so unique. And I love
Speaker 2: the arcadi feel. That's because you know, yeah, turbo showing.
Speaker 2: I'm all about the arcady feel in games, and that's
Speaker 2: what Overwatch did a lot for me. Is like it's
Speaker 2: not just especially an Arrow where we have people vying
Speaker 2: for the the extraction shooter and stuff like that, where
Speaker 2: it's like ultra gritty realism and everything like that. I'm like, nah, dude,
Speaker 2: I want to be a ninja scial and walls and
Speaker 2: like I want to be this little raccoon scurrying around
Speaker 2: like shooting rockets at people and like his little healing
Speaker 2: orbs and stuff. I want to be Spider Man swinging
Speaker 2: through his guys. This just just fun. It's just cool.
Speaker 1: Yep, It's it's just a it's just a kind of
Speaker 1: a good time, is what I ended up happening with it. So, yep, Mike,
Speaker 1: you finished Final Fantasy six. You got any final thoughts
Speaker 1: on that you want to wrap up.
Speaker 4: After this latest play through? Fantasy Final Fantasy Final Fantasy Thoughts?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, so, I haven't beaten that game
Speaker 3: since I played through the Game Boy Advance version.
Speaker 7: I played through the other five Pixel remasters. They kind
Speaker 7: of like had to wait a bit to get the six,
Speaker 7: but it was really excited, and boy, that was just
Speaker 7: an amazing playthrough. It is just one of the best
Speaker 7: games ever, one of the best RPGs ever, and the
Speaker 7: whole kind of like last few hours of that game
Speaker 7: are so incredible. The last dungeon is cool. That Kefka
Speaker 7: fight is amazing. If if you haven't even play Found
Speaker 7: Fantasy Stix, just look at that fight. The weird kind
Speaker 7: of like distorted creepy tower, you go up the track
Speaker 7: dancing mad that plays. It's just an all timer bossname.
Speaker 7: It's better than one when you get Angel. Even I
Speaker 7: think the true ones know this.
Speaker 3: It's also like one of the first games I can
Speaker 3: remember chronologically that just went and we're gonna have like
Speaker 3: a thirty minute ending.
Speaker 6: Actually we're gonna really let this breathe.
Speaker 3: The ending sequence is so cool because one of the
Speaker 3: things about that game is that there are a ton
Speaker 3: of characters ers, a ton of party members, and the
Speaker 3: kind of like ending credit thing gives each one of
Speaker 3: them a moment where they kind of get a title card.
Speaker 3: They have a little vignette that it's like this end
Speaker 3: credit section plays their character theme and it's credible, and
Speaker 3: some of them kind of play together because the characters
Speaker 3: are interconnected in a special way.
Speaker 6: It just hits like crazy.
Speaker 7: It's just one of those things where I beat that game.
Speaker 3: It's a game I beat before, and I was just
Speaker 3: kind of laying there, like I don't want to do
Speaker 3: anything but just kind of sit here and think about
Speaker 3: how much I like Final Fantasy six for a while
Speaker 3: again as a game I know I love, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: I think I like that game even more than I thought.
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed that play through. I think the pixely
Speaker 3: Master version is fantastic and probably definitely my preferred way
Speaker 3: to play it now.
Speaker 1: And then, before we move on to the second segment,
Speaker 1: any thoughts about the second week of Nintendo World Championship
Speaker 1: from you guys, specifically the World Championship Mode. I have
Speaker 1: been kind of spending a little bit more time with it.
Speaker 1: I do have a world record in the Metroid Morphball Grab,
Speaker 1: which I think you guys have the loser time of
Speaker 1: three point sixty.
Speaker 5: Five, right, So that's hard to say. There's no way
Speaker 5: ack it so that's the world record.
Speaker 1: Six three point three point sixty three. YESU grub three
Speaker 1: six three. Yes, there it is.
Speaker 6: It is a good ship. It's funny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, I don't like having to play two minutes
Speaker 5: of Kidicrous. I've only known it like two times, and
Speaker 5: it's like, that's right, every second of it. And the
Speaker 5: thing is, since it's not a cumulative score, I am
Speaker 5: trying to get into the mindset of like, Okay, I
Speaker 5: don't need to obsess over all five of them every week.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna pick the ones I enjoy, which are
Speaker 5: normally all of them. But then like kidd Rises, especially
Speaker 5: a long credicrous one, I don't want to fuck with,
Speaker 5: so I'm spending time with the other four mainly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's I'm not like going crazy
Speaker 1: like it did in the first week, but I'm still
Speaker 1: there are times where it's like twenty minutes NonStop.
Speaker 4: I've just played that little two.
Speaker 1: Minute segment, two second segment hundreds of times in that time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like there's still that happening, and I'm still
Speaker 1: enjoying it, but it's a little bit more reasonable now.
Speaker 5: I want to try to get s rank on everything
Speaker 5: in the main you know, like that out to be
Speaker 5: all as exactly.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I did get the world record time
Speaker 1: on that once, so I'm like, Okay, I can relax.
Speaker 1: And then I started doing some other stuff, like what
Speaker 1: am I doing? I was having fun getting the s
Speaker 1: rink on everything. Although s rank on that final kittick
Speaker 1: Chris one fucking sucks because you gotta what is it
Speaker 1: you gotta You have to go through a level and
Speaker 1: defeat a boss, and so you gotta be first. You
Speaker 1: have to remember the path. This won't be a problem
Speaker 1: for you, Mike Dan, It's gonna be a.
Speaker 4: Problem for us. I hate it every time. Uh So
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm like, I think I go here.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I'll go there, so I'll hopefully I
Speaker 1: get it down enough so I'll just remember it. But
Speaker 1: then you have to like go kind of fast avoid damage,
Speaker 1: and then you gotta not have enough life to be
Speaker 1: able to survive the boss.
Speaker 4: The boss pretty easy.
Speaker 1: Uh but you just gotta have enough life so you
Speaker 1: could take like maybe one or two hits. And I
Speaker 1: am always like right there about to die, and it's
Speaker 1: it's a pain in the ass because it's so very long.
Speaker 5: But you know, it's funny how social bubbles work, because like,
Speaker 5: you know, based on talking to you guys and be
Speaker 5: on Giant Bomb talking about any Asperral championship. As soon
Speaker 5: as it got announced, this was like a thing. It's
Speaker 5: like mark circle your calendar. This is one of the
Speaker 5: big ones of the year, says it. And even when
Speaker 5: it was like disappointing with the leader board stuff, we're
Speaker 5: still playing this ship out of it and talking about it,
Speaker 5: multiple streams about it, all this stuff, and so like
Speaker 5: in my mind it's like that's one of the big
Speaker 5: games right now and of the year as well. And
Speaker 5: we recorded fire Escape a few nights ago, and like
Speaker 5: Mike and Mary are like, okay, what is this?
Speaker 6: What is the Oh you gotta be an old sicko
Speaker 6: to be real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And uh, what's disgusting is we probably are
Speaker 3: like the three people evangelizing the game the most.
Speaker 7: We're in fucking Nintendo jail, Jesus.
Speaker 6: An abusive relationship.
Speaker 2: We need.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: They're great.
Speaker 2: They're great. No, they're really good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not getting out. That's not how it's gonna work.
Speaker 3: It is funny how like this week I pretty much like,
Speaker 3: you know, what I really like doing is that Metroit
Speaker 3: thing over and over again, Like yeah, especially because I
Speaker 3: know there's not a cumultive score.
Speaker 7: I am just like, I'm not really gonna worry about
Speaker 7: that kiddick or this one too much.
Speaker 3: But you know, like, especially since I beat Fan Fantasy
Speaker 3: six even I again, I was kind of wired. I
Speaker 3: couldn't go to sleep because I was so I was
Speaker 3: buzzying because I love that game so much. It's okay,
Speaker 3: I got to play some Nintendor World Championship.
Speaker 7: And I did. Like actually, instead of worrying about the
Speaker 7: weekly challenges, I think I am going to just go
Speaker 7: through and try to get more of these S ranks.
Speaker 3: And that's maybe something I'm going to do more this
Speaker 3: week at least, and then next week we'll see what
Speaker 3: the challenges are. Yeah, I think overall, I didn't quite
Speaker 3: love this week's roster of challenges as much as last week.
Speaker 7: But that's fine. They last a week. We'll see what
Speaker 7: we get next time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not the best.
Speaker 2: I'll probably have more to say on Tuesday about it.
Speaker 6: Though. I started playing a Ranger on Switch.
Speaker 2: It's good. I don't know, because I've heard that the
Speaker 2: one the sliding range.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, people like that one a lot, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's very very clever. It's yeah, it's it's a thing. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 5: I think we'll talk about it Tuesday. But I just
Speaker 5: played like a half hour last night.
Speaker 4: It's like, this is good, okay, cool, yeah, excellent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a there's a handful of things that either
Speaker 1: I can't talk about yet or just started.
Speaker 5: So there's Wednesday that Yestian Barger lives next week that
Speaker 5: it is okay, fantastic. We talked about on fire Escape
Speaker 5: and I I went to Rave about that.
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean, who's to say embargoes on? So I
Speaker 6: don't know.
Speaker 3: Again, yes, Missy something, I'll be allowed to talk about
Speaker 3: Star Wars Outlaws.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Yeah, this game looks cute a arranger. So
Speaker 2: has the wonder Boy remake going?
Speaker 4: Totally cool?
Speaker 7: I like that, love the way that game looks. That's
Speaker 7: a good remake. The remake all right, let's uh.
Speaker 5: Someone in twist chat says, did someone say Mount Rushmore
Speaker 5: of Maria Party Mini Games and their name is Hexagon Heat.
Speaker 6: Let's good.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you're gonna be like.
Speaker 2: Demographic you for you coming up? Hexagon Heat prank to me.
Speaker 5: You're like, hey, let's talk about Maria party, and then
Speaker 5: you're talking about Marvel and Final Fantasy.
Speaker 6: We got his ass, Everybody coming out each other show.
Speaker 7: If there was a Final Fantasy game Dance should play,
Speaker 7: it would be Final Fantasy six.
Speaker 2: It's zz several times.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of slow scrolling in text at the beginning,
Speaker 5: and I drop off every time.
Speaker 4: Man, it just but it's beginning with the mechs like
Speaker 4: it's one of the coolest things. I say.
Speaker 5: Movie is like, I'm already, well, that's an outlier.
Speaker 6: That's a new thing, that's a new that's new.
Speaker 5: I'm talking about throughout my life, not new current, open
Speaker 5: minded mech liking Dan. I'm talking about hysterically. I'm saying,
Speaker 5: all right, everyone says this Final Fantasy six is good.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put this j RPG, and I'm already thinking
Speaker 5: it's gonna be bad. Oh and there's mechs and there's talking,
Speaker 5: and it's so little. I don't know if I've ever
Speaker 5: moved a character in that game. I've tried to start
Speaker 5: it twenty times, always turned it off a movie character.
Speaker 3: In terms of like JRPG pacing, this is like the
Speaker 3: Michael Bay movie of j RPG pacing.
Speaker 2: It's very No, that's that's like Mario RPG.
Speaker 6: Like, okay, well yeah, Mario, it's marian.
Speaker 2: I'm curious outside, I'll like say, Mario RPG Mario Luig
Speaker 2: type situation. Are there any like j RPGs they've been
Speaker 2: into in the past, Dan, Like, I take you for
Speaker 2: maybe like a Crono Trigger.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say.
Speaker 5: Back in the day, I did not give it a shot.
Speaker 5: But once I started reviewing games, and that was during
Speaker 5: like the DS era, they did the D like Chrono
Speaker 5: Trigger DS. It had a lot of quality life improvements.
Speaker 5: And that's when I played like Final Fantasy four. I
Speaker 5: remember liking that. And here's the thing, I never beat
Speaker 5: these games. I the only Final Fantasy I've ever beat
Speaker 5: was X, and I do like that game, but I
Speaker 5: always played what's that you said?
Speaker 4: Please don't call it that.
Speaker 5: No Final Fantasy X, Yeah, the first, not X two. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but no, I think cron Trigger. Yeah, it's just turn
Speaker 5: based battles. Like the reason I liked X was because
Speaker 5: I had that like active system on the side where
Speaker 5: you kind of see like I felt like there was
Speaker 5: more strategy and not just picking for Menus, you know,
Speaker 5: and then twelve I was curious about because that was
Speaker 5: doing something different with the battle and everything. Yeah, but
Speaker 5: ultimately it's still it's like so many goddamn cussings that nonsense.
Speaker 6: I can't do it.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I don't agree with that. I was gonna say,
Speaker 2: I understand where you're coming from, because infamously, despite being
Speaker 2: a huge Pokemon fan, I'm not traditionally super into turn
Speaker 2: based RPGs. Like something about the characters needs to do
Speaker 2: it for me. That's why I like, I'm into Persona
Speaker 2: and Pokemon that kind of stuff. It just really strong
Speaker 2: characters will bring me in. But yeah, if it's like
Speaker 2: like Classic Final Fantasy, I've gone back for like you know,
Speaker 2: educational purposes, but they usually don't stick with me as much.
Speaker 2: So I get where you're coming from.
Speaker 5: And it's as you mentioned characters. So like you know,
Speaker 5: Paper Mario and the Mario Luigi series, I've played all those.
Speaker 5: I love those games, and well, I mean obviously Paper
Speaker 5: Mario problems aside and everything, but like I like the
Speaker 5: fact that in the Mario Luigi series there was active
Speaker 5: stuff during the battles that kept me interesting, right, It's
Speaker 5: why I like infinite wealth. It's why I like, you know,
Speaker 5: like a dragon. It's because, like, oh, I feel like
Speaker 5: I'm playing a video game while combat's going on. You know,
Speaker 5: like I just if I'm just picking from a menu,
Speaker 5: I'm out, just give me some even if it's just
Speaker 5: timing a button. When Mario jumps on something, you know,
Speaker 5: like then I feel like I'm playing a video game
Speaker 5: men usual.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel both ways.
Speaker 1: I Mean, I'm like, I'm glad the menu systems are
Speaker 1: still there and just the menu, but I also engage
Speaker 1: more when there's something to do.
Speaker 2: There's definitely a place for both, and so I'm glad
Speaker 2: both still exist. And like the text based ones or sorry,
Speaker 2: the turn based ones tend to be more than the
Speaker 2: indie space nowadays, but glad that they're still carrying that torch.
Speaker 7: You know, we have a metaphor Fantasia coming out. It
Speaker 7: will be a very big boy one. I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: John.
Speaker 3: It's funny because I have a friend who's like who
Speaker 3: only plays like a few games really and like they're
Speaker 3: big Pokemon fans. Still they drive me crazy because I'll
Speaker 3: be like, well, you should play a found Fantasy. It's like, ah,
Speaker 3: just don't like turn based combat, and I'm just like,
Speaker 3: all you do is play pokey.
Speaker 6: That's different.
Speaker 2: Is kind of different, especially if you play like competitive level,
Speaker 2: because they is more about the planning. It's about it's
Speaker 2: about the strategy because like the battles will go like
Speaker 2: by like that. It's like when you're actually in battle,
Speaker 2: there's not as much to it. It's more about planning
Speaker 2: your team that people really like about Pokemon. It's not
Speaker 2: as much about because at the end of the day
Speaker 2: with Pokemon you're kind of just mashed in a once
Speaker 2: you have what.
Speaker 7: Wait, dan, cha's a good play?
Speaker 3: What is the difference between like the turn based combat
Speaker 3: and something like x colm, because that's still because Okay.
Speaker 6: Here's the thing. I like chess.
Speaker 5: I think chess is great as a kid, I put,
Speaker 5: I know, but I think it's so much more engaging
Speaker 5: when you have all these different pieces playing off each other.
Speaker 5: It just feels more like like when I play I
Speaker 5: love tactics, Like Tactics Advanced specifically is my favorite thing
Speaker 5: with finals in the title ever, because I just feel
Speaker 5: like the jar system and the chess like you know,
Speaker 5: just kind of like the positioning on.
Speaker 4: The board and like that it's awesome.
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm doing more and there's more strategy
Speaker 5: to it. For so like, yeah, I like x com.
Speaker 5: I like Fire Emblem. I like Advanced Wars like you
Speaker 5: give me a grid. Now we're talking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're moving, You're moving through a space, and it matters.
Speaker 4: That is a whole.
Speaker 1: It is a completely different thing than turn based menu
Speaker 1: selection like both.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I'll play. I'll play Fire Emblem or
Speaker 2: Advanced Wars over say like Dragon Quest any day. You know.
Speaker 6: I also like that.
Speaker 5: Mitch said, please don't call Final Fantasy X because he
Speaker 5: just cemented I will never say Final Fantasy said better
Speaker 5: than this match.
Speaker 3: That's all right at this point, it's okay, valuable skills
Speaker 3: for shoots for shoot. Just don't call Mega Man X
Speaker 3: Mega Man ten will be why would.
Speaker 2: You bring that into this world? Mike wasn't.
Speaker 6: No, No, I don't want to ask you.
Speaker 5: I don't want to sound ignorant about Mega Man because
Speaker 5: Mega Man is cool, So I will call Mega Man
Speaker 5: X Mega Man X. There was a game called Mega
Speaker 5: Man ten, but that was the more retro in the style. Look,
Speaker 5: I'm educated about cool games, so remember.
Speaker 6: The remember Sheep Man and Mega Man ten.
Speaker 4: Underrated.
Speaker 3: It was an electric yeah, electric sheet. There's also just
Speaker 3: a baseball man called Strike many ten is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, recognize this better, Just a little bit is better.
Speaker 3: But I appreciate the struggle league that Mega Man ten
Speaker 3: does come up with ideas.
Speaker 6: Yes, it was like the Mega Man six. Then you
Speaker 6: gotta see the reaching and I enjoyed the reaching Charge man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Alright, let's we're gonna take a quick break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, it's time for the mount rushmore Mario Party minigames.
Speaker 6: Is everybodyo games.
Speaker 4: Here we go there, it is all right, we'll back
Speaker 4: right after this.
Speaker 1: All right, we're back, and what we're gonna do here
Speaker 1: is we're gonna decide the four most iconic, emblematic Mario
Speaker 1: Party mini games, the mini games that make the Mario Party.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I guess Dan, do you want to start us off
Speaker 1: with like what you're thinking?
Speaker 4: Because I brought this up. You're like, hell, yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: do that.
Speaker 5: I'm like, all right, I thought you lack like thirty
Speaker 5: minutes ago, and it was like, yes, twenty links I have.
Speaker 5: I have a lot of links which we should put
Speaker 5: on screen because here Eve and I don't know everyone
Speaker 5: by name, but you just see an image of it.
Speaker 6: It's like, oh, right, that one, I'll say.
Speaker 5: Before I look at all these images and we go
Speaker 5: kind of go through the list, the first one that
Speaker 5: came to mind to me was Bumper Balls and also Hot.
Speaker 5: So if you want to start making a short list,
Speaker 5: I have.
Speaker 4: A short list. I'll be doing that as well. We'll
Speaker 4: be going back and forth.
Speaker 7: Bumper Falls is like the George Washington of Mario Party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like I feel like it's almost gonna
Speaker 2: be like, what's the one we do when we're playing
Speaker 2: Martyo Kart the spinoffs, like the Mount Rushmore spinoffs. I
Speaker 2: feel like this is almost gonna be like that one
Speaker 2: where I would be shocked at Bumper Balls and Hot
Speaker 2: Rube Jump. Don't at least make it too like close
Speaker 2: to the end.
Speaker 5: I also would be shocked if anything beyond like anything
Speaker 5: between three and the Switch ones. I wonder if we're
Speaker 5: gonna get any of the GameCube or we want.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because I'm curious, like Bander's probably a lot
Speaker 3: for Mario Party one, and I feel like like, are
Speaker 3: there any one V three or two V twos that
Speaker 3: you really think would make it over the four player
Speaker 3: ones are always better.
Speaker 6: There one to be threes that are funny.
Speaker 5: To me, They're not good, but either memorable or from
Speaker 5: the first one before they realized it was breaking everyone's palms.
Speaker 5: Taga War and the River one.
Speaker 2: With the shy guys with the spars Paddle Battle, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: those are yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always think about Crane game because it's bullshit and
Speaker 3: I hate that it's no fun. Yeah, so it's like
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 2: Some of these two B two's are pretty iconic. I
Speaker 2: feel like it's fun. Yeah, Bob's led Ron. I think
Speaker 2: Desert dash as variants are pretty iconic where you're pressing
Speaker 2: the buns in order and then a hand car havoc too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, those are all fun.
Speaker 5: The team ones are fun because it's like, oh, who
Speaker 5: am I going to get teamed up with? But like,
Speaker 5: I don't think any of these are going to make
Speaker 5: it on on the final four.
Speaker 2: The bowling ones so stupid. Becau's got your head on
Speaker 2: a bowling pin.
Speaker 7: I hate the ones where like the three people barely
Speaker 7: are playing a game.
Speaker 2: I said stupid. I meant it as a compliment. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I thought you had to ridge it for it.
Speaker 6: Like, no, either, it's hilarious.
Speaker 2: No, great, great, see Grubb, Do you have a list
Speaker 2: going here that we started adding.
Speaker 4: To Yes, I do. Okay, so right now I bumper
Speaker 4: balls and hot Rope Jump.
Speaker 5: Crazy Cutters on there. I love Crazy Cutters. Crazy Cutters
Speaker 5: is fun face lit facelift yeah, face.
Speaker 4: Face just the one I was going to suggest, okay, good, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: I love facelift it.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know system Mario sixty four title screen
Speaker 3: and just turn that into a MANI game is super smart.
Speaker 4: I don't want to, like, you know, hold out on
Speaker 4: our friend in chat any longer? Can we? Let's put
Speaker 4: hexagon heat up there?
Speaker 2: I any form that it takes is like the first
Speaker 2: one's mushroom mix up. But you know what, for them,
Speaker 2: we can say hext gun Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think he s gun Heat is when it became iconic.
Speaker 2: I think there is.
Speaker 7: He is just kind of like yeah, well go ahead.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, there's a type that I love
Speaker 5: where it's like like crazy Cutter and Facelift are both
Speaker 5: this where it's like you're just doing some fucking stupid
Speaker 5: thing with an analog stick, and then it's some unseen.
Speaker 6: Judge is going to give you a score out of
Speaker 6: one hundred.
Speaker 5: I love that, and then you can always argue about
Speaker 5: like what the fuck you didn't trace that boot that
Speaker 5: looks like shiit like, but you just have one like those.
Speaker 3: Then there's kind of the last Man's Standing variety. I
Speaker 3: think bumper Balls is probably the best of that. But
Speaker 3: then you have bombs Away, although I think i'd they're
Speaker 3: playing xicon Heat over bombs Away.
Speaker 2: What about the.
Speaker 1: Block card Derby because that one was so frustrating, but
Speaker 1: it's also it's right, but it's so like the definition
Speaker 1: of what Mario party is, where you are trying too
Speaker 1: hard and you fuck up and you have no one
Speaker 1: to blame about yourself.
Speaker 5: And it's also weird and that like, oh, here's just
Speaker 5: a giant Yoshi head on a tiny car, like fucked up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2: I think look at the first one here that I
Speaker 2: would argue the most iconic of last man Standing outside
Speaker 2: of hexgne heat variants is shy guy.
Speaker 5: Says, Oh, can I ask a request here? Actually, Doctor
Speaker 5: Ryan just mentioned honeycomb havoc grub. Is it easy for
Speaker 5: you to just have the honeycomb havoc? Can you find
Speaker 5: like ten hours of honeycomb Havoc. It's the same track
Speaker 5: music playing on loop in the background for us and
Speaker 5: everyone else.
Speaker 6: Give me, I just want to set.
Speaker 5: The tone here, absolutely right, Okay, all right, it's really
Speaker 5: one of the best tracks it's ever been in the game.
Speaker 7: I says, it's such a bulls exactly.
Speaker 1: It's great story is that the one is the sneak
Speaker 1: a store, the one where you have to like sneak
Speaker 1: up on the chain shop or whatever.
Speaker 2: Party four barrel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hate that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like that's like a last month standing
Speaker 1: one where I think, like, yeah, it's all bullshit all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's just an important part of Mark.
Speaker 4: That's a positive for this series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyone else like Castaways. I feel like I'm I'm
Speaker 3: oddly good at Castaways.
Speaker 2: The fishing. Nobody likes Castaways.
Speaker 5: It feels good when you've got like a subtle analog
Speaker 5: finger there and you can really kind of like got
Speaker 5: that you know, like you know exactly how hard to
Speaker 5: pull it back like it does feel.
Speaker 6: Good, Mike, I get it. I don't know if it's
Speaker 6: gonna make a.
Speaker 7: Top four though, Pipsy Tourney, when we have to move
Speaker 7: the that's the where you have to move the shell
Speaker 7: around to unlock the tiles on.
Speaker 5: That's a good one off one I don't know, like, uh,
Speaker 5: this is.
Speaker 2: The one, that one.
Speaker 7: That one is one.
Speaker 3: Escape Theirs is fun, but it's not as good as
Speaker 3: the Men game in the Sixtus arcade.
Speaker 7: That's the same thing.
Speaker 5: Oh sure, yeah, it's derivative. Yes, thank thank you, yes, yes,
Speaker 5: thank you. Christ and Grub promised me this won't stop until.
Speaker 4: We're off the here, I promise it. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Chat, do you need more honeycomb, havoc juice?
Speaker 2: I think they're probably also call it. We're all called juice.
Speaker 6: It's the same thing.
Speaker 7: God, I don't like any of Mario Party's attempts to
Speaker 7: do music style games.
Speaker 5: I like, uh, there's one where the look away thing
Speaker 5: where the head's gotta look. I don't know if that's
Speaker 5: not really music. No, I mean like bandstand uh move
Speaker 5: to the music? Like Yeah, I don't like those at all.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, I'm sorry, grub Chat says, at least it's
Speaker 5: not the original N sixty four audio.
Speaker 2: Grub, can you find the N sixty four person?
Speaker 4: Please don't get on it.
Speaker 6: It's more horribly and fucked up yeah, what is.
Speaker 4: That one going to be called a honeycomb havoc as well?
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, yeah, Mario party too to your honeycomb.
Speaker 2: From them Superstar or something.
Speaker 4: No, guess, keep guessing.
Speaker 2: One. Top one hundred, yes, top one. Yeah the game.
Speaker 2: These guys forgot about it in Jeopardy recently.
Speaker 6: By the way, wow, wow, sure did you.
Speaker 2: Think of what the one is where like you go
Speaker 2: down the line adding a button and you need to
Speaker 2: like memorize the fun sequence that's.
Speaker 5: Roll call If it's from two, that's the one I'm
Speaker 5: super where there's like a bunch of ghosts.
Speaker 6: It's such are you gotta like a clicker?
Speaker 2: You know? No, the beat goes on That's what it is.
Speaker 2: The beat goes on in three.
Speaker 6: Oh right, I tell from your reaction maybe.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make the list, But that's one I think
Speaker 2: about all the time because you have to like memorize
Speaker 2: it and go yourself like BIZZI says situation.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, okay, I like that.
Speaker 7: I like that.
Speaker 2: That's a good one. But yeah, maybe it doesn't make
Speaker 2: the list.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at two now. Shell Shock is hilarious, the
Speaker 5: one that's just battle. Thanks, Yeah, okay, I do like
Speaker 5: shell shot. It's very fun. Yeah, good push shell Shocks
Speaker 5: as possibility. I also Mecha Marathon is one of my
Speaker 5: absolute favorites because it's one that is just purely determined
Speaker 5: by how fast you can pressed the button. That is
Speaker 5: something I've always prided myself on, is how fast I
Speaker 5: can press the button mash.
Speaker 1: Real quick for our audio listeners. And actually, in case
Speaker 1: we missed anything, here's where we have so far in
Speaker 1: the shortlist. Bumper Balls, Hot Rope Jump, Crazy Cutters, Facelift, Hexagon, Heat,
Speaker 1: slot Card derby, Shy guy says, shell shock, and then
Speaker 1: I was getting music ready. So if there's anything you
Speaker 1: guys said while I was doing that, do you want
Speaker 1: me to add and there.
Speaker 6: That we're all call on there and shell shock? Do
Speaker 6: you got that?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Will the audio listeners here with this great music?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: The audience you put it in there? Dan, don't thank you, Sean.
Speaker 5: Oh, Disney dancing is kind of fun, the one where
Speaker 5: you're all standing on a giant record and you get
Speaker 5: all fucked up and you gotta grab a music note.
Speaker 2: All right, fucking finished? Okay.
Speaker 5: Anyways, Honeycomb Havock should be on there, because that's one
Speaker 5: I love Honeycomb havoc. Yeah, you can fox someone over
Speaker 5: so hard that it's like there is Teddy Roosevelt can
Speaker 5: do about it. And you get the moment where you realize, like, oh,
Speaker 5: they're gonna grab one, They're gonna I'm I'm talking.
Speaker 6: About, there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2: I think the iconic one that was introduced into Bowser's
Speaker 2: Big Blast.
Speaker 5: Oh that's the most horseship mark, that is the most
Speaker 5: Mario Party, the.
Speaker 2: Epitome of Mario Party horseship. But I think like they
Speaker 2: brought back multiple times like that is very iconic. I
Speaker 2: can getting these consideration. The timing on it's even perfect
Speaker 2: to repress it, and it's like that's variable too, like
Speaker 2: like sometimes it like takes a second.
Speaker 6: This game is funny. This game knows exactly what it's doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I had a dream like two nights ago that I
Speaker 5: was playing Mario Party Jamboree and I was so happy.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry for that game, man, I have too.
Speaker 1: I am not looking forward to what we're gonna to
Speaker 1: deal with that, but I suppose a jamboree of some
Speaker 1: sort a jamb all right, I mean we will have
Speaker 1: to cut this down before but I know if you don't,
Speaker 1: if you don't want to leave any stone unturned, Dan,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2: I want to go through the rest of the two
Speaker 2: here real quick.
Speaker 7: Pretty I mean, hop up bombs pretty good.
Speaker 2: We're going to start being a little Put cake factory
Speaker 2: on there, a cake factories.
Speaker 6: Cake factory is great.
Speaker 5: Although I have the fucking baby on my team when
Speaker 5: I was playing with the five Weeks Old, and that's
Speaker 5: you just you can't do ship and cake factory if
Speaker 5: you're there's a baby, like they don't put the strawberry
Speaker 5: on it a little.
Speaker 4: And that's with the game.
Speaker 7: This cake factory make you think of I love Lucy.
Speaker 5: Also, no, I'm not ninety Night as a kid.
Speaker 6: I didn't watch I've never seen watch.
Speaker 7: Oh course, of course.
Speaker 2: Man, I think I'm done with two.
Speaker 3: Three gets a lot more ambitious, and I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's for the best. Like there's like at where
Speaker 3: you just you're just an airplane shooting each other and
Speaker 3: it's cool.
Speaker 7: But people really remember Aces High that well.
Speaker 2: They I think they remember m p i Q the
Speaker 2: quiz game.
Speaker 7: That's fun, right, I mean there's a Mario puzzle party
Speaker 7: where you just play like a drop down puzzle game,
Speaker 7: which seems neat, but I you know, I think, yeah,
Speaker 7: it's I like idea, but the actual puzzle game you
Speaker 7: have to play is not a.
Speaker 5: Worse Bumper Balls and that the one where it's like
Speaker 5: you see everyone walk by, and then it's like, who
Speaker 5: is the fourth one?
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know if that's tough, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I kind of like Title Toss. That's like one of
Speaker 3: the one three games. I think it's kind of fun
Speaker 3: where the guy and the one just has to butt
Speaker 3: stomp and make waves for the other. I know, if
Speaker 3: anyone else has any fun.
Speaker 4: I like it. It's not gonna be top four title so.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think I think people remember Hide and Sneak
Speaker 2: more than a current call.
Speaker 6: Definitely, yeah, but it also kind of actually that one does.
Speaker 2: It does, But keep in mind, this is Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 2: This is not quality. This is what people remember.
Speaker 6: As I think we're doing quality or wait, what are
Speaker 6: we doing?
Speaker 2: It's it's like it's.
Speaker 4: A mixture of all these things.
Speaker 1: It's like Teddy Roosevelts maybe not one of the best presents.
Speaker 1: He did some cool stuff, and he did some he's
Speaker 1: really shitting a lot of other ways, but he's on
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 4: What does that mean? Well, he's iconic.
Speaker 6: Okay, iconic eats a pizza.
Speaker 5: I I think bonus points go to any game that
Speaker 5: when it shows up in the like Roulett the Beginning
Speaker 5: and it lands on it, you can yell it and
Speaker 5: it's fun.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, pizza an incredible name. And I can't
Speaker 1: believe I have not been yelling this just whenever I
Speaker 1: order pizza.
Speaker 6: And it's just a.
Speaker 2: Better version of a previous game, like they just improved
Speaker 2: it with this one.
Speaker 6: Are you thinking of the Treasure one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, very treasure in one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the Treasure one is like you're looking for
Speaker 5: a specific thing eats a pizza. Aren't you trying to
Speaker 5: eat the whole Eat the whole pizza?
Speaker 2: Exactly? They simplified it and therefore it's just like it's
Speaker 2: more fun and it's a team that you.
Speaker 3: Corrected yourselfing you say eat and.
Speaker 5: I be okay, just because then if we put it
Speaker 5: eats a pizza on there, we get to say eats
Speaker 5: a pizza several more times.
Speaker 6: Incredible, whether it says or goes, you know.
Speaker 4: Uh, eat a pizza, slap.
Speaker 2: Down maybe, which is like the icon pops up and
Speaker 2: you like slam your hand down before everyone else.
Speaker 6: Maybe I do love that one.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, yeah, I'm I feel like we might
Speaker 3: be good on three, and now I'm curious of anything.
Speaker 2: Four is good. Four I I will die on this hill.
Speaker 2: Four is my favorite Mario party and is one.
Speaker 6: Of I love book square.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say that that is a very
Speaker 5: clever one, and like that's oh yeah, I think I
Speaker 5: feel like I played that.
Speaker 7: Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, book scirms for sure. Books on there.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we do a little bit of a description
Speaker 1: each time for people that are audio listeners that don't remember.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it's when the book you're you're tiny little
Speaker 5: guys and you're on a big book and it's falling
Speaker 5: and there's shapes that are cut out. It's the job
Speaker 5: and arrested development thing. When the house falls on there,
Speaker 5: it is yep, yeah, there's a buster buster Oh.
Speaker 7: My god with Charlie Chaplin, but show we can do
Speaker 7: a rested development.
Speaker 6: When I was watching Charlie Chaplin and Lucy and the
Speaker 6: Computer that Wore.
Speaker 1: Tennis shoes, I'm still when Hollywood exiled him for his
Speaker 1: communist leaning, so sorry, Sorry, goes Bell Bottoms.
Speaker 2: This week, I was screaming on my TV.
Speaker 1: I'm like, my died actually a little bit inside when
Speaker 1: he said that you were so what.
Speaker 2: He's like, I didn't pay attention to fashion trends. I
Speaker 2: just lost it. Have I ever told you guys my
Speaker 2: Jinko story? No, definitely tell me this is it's actually
Speaker 2: Chad James's story, but he told it a one time
Speaker 2: on podcast where he said that, uh, he when he
Speaker 2: was in high school. I think it was high school
Speaker 2: one like Jenko's were still around. One day, they were
Speaker 2: at lunch, you know, like hanging out in the lunch room,
Speaker 2: and they're like, well, what are we gonna do because
Speaker 2: we finished our lunch earlier. Dude just pulls out the
Speaker 2: PS one one out of one pocket and some controllers
Speaker 2: and the power record out of the other pocket. Is like,
Speaker 2: let's play some PS one and I just set it
Speaker 2: up with a little screen and everything, because you could
Speaker 2: fit all that and some Jinkos.
Speaker 6: Fucking awesome.
Speaker 4: Yes, that rules.
Speaker 6: Wow, guy's cool.
Speaker 2: I love that story. Damn. I'm looking at four. I
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of ones that I really like
Speaker 2: but are kind of like, you know, versions of previous
Speaker 2: ones or something.
Speaker 6: Like the bomb is fun, the two D two reversa bomb.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, this is the one where the bombs aren't
Speaker 3: conveyor belts. You can't like your battling with something for
Speaker 3: their team to push the buttons to switching back.
Speaker 7: It's fun. I don't mean and I gut thinking four here.
Speaker 5: I do want to cut us too, because this is
Speaker 5: also a bad one to get teamed with a baby on.
Speaker 6: Fair enough you lose three of the roads. They maybe
Speaker 6: can't do any of it.
Speaker 2: Dungeon duos. I feel like it's pretty memorable trying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't you do to the end of the It's
Speaker 3: pretty decent. Yeah, I saw you pulled.
Speaker 2: It up on stream earlier, even Joe. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Also the one that is just kind of like cookies
Speaker 3: and cream for a little cookies and cream.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I do like that.
Speaker 3: Does that good enough description for audio cookies?
Speaker 4: That's enough?
Speaker 2: Just make it make it to the end of the
Speaker 2: hallway while doing like bullshit, you know, switch make a
Speaker 2: thing go around. Yet. I love Trace Race personally because
Speaker 2: I was getting over ninety five percent, But I feel
Speaker 2: like crazy cutters like the more iconic version of that,
Speaker 2: So maybe we don't need to put both.
Speaker 5: That's a good point, yeah, Sean, I think we might
Speaker 5: have similar Mario Party opinions. I think everything you're saying
Speaker 5: here this do you respect what I say?
Speaker 2: One?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: I think that's good for four, it's a good five. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we ain't.
Speaker 7: You know at what point did the gaetube games become
Speaker 7: all about the microphone gimmicks?
Speaker 3: As why there are four GameCube ones. I think the
Speaker 3: only one people have fun this for is that first
Speaker 3: one for.
Speaker 2: Because it's just classic Mario Party.
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, then they try to fuck it up.
Speaker 5: I think the most fun job on the planet would
Speaker 5: probably be the person that they hand you like a
Speaker 5: hundred Mario Party mini games and they say name these
Speaker 5: in English?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what would be an English thing? Here?
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, this is mazed and confused. This one's
Speaker 5: Coney Island, This one's just great cake factory. Dinger Dinger Derby.
Speaker 5: Put Dinger Derby on there.
Speaker 4: I'll put Dinger Derby on there. Give me a second,
Speaker 4: yep eats up informing.
Speaker 3: That people like Mario Party six excuse me, ah Man
Speaker 3: Fire looks like a fun one versus three game. I
Speaker 3: like the idea of just trying to catch everybody on
Speaker 3: fucking fire with flamesover seems so fu up.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mario Mex Oh, Mario Mix is just like a
Speaker 7: different version of the tank one. It looks like it
Speaker 7: looks fun.
Speaker 5: If it was just a full middle your solid game
Speaker 5: with Mario inside Mario Party.
Speaker 2: I think Square Away is the only one that's uh really.
Speaker 3: You know, oh when when you're the dice and like
Speaker 3: it's a one B three, so the one is a
Speaker 3: smaller dice and the three or bigger dicey.
Speaker 2: Trying to flat the smaller one. And that's also one
Speaker 2: that I believe has come back before.
Speaker 7: But yeah, the fact that I recognize it means it
Speaker 7: must be in Superstar.
Speaker 5: We are we are at the point where I'm not
Speaker 5: recognizing these as much, and I'm trying to think of why.
Speaker 6: And it's like, oh, I was in college, and it was.
Speaker 5: Probably harder to find people that wanted to play Mario Party.
Speaker 1: I was because you were drunk. Oh no, it's just
Speaker 1: well that couldn't find it human means well, I just
Speaker 1: put up with you, are I guarantee.
Speaker 5: Every time a new one came out that I had
Speaker 5: to review, and that would have been the game tubera.
Speaker 5: I definitely pulled people in like after the bar be like, Okay,
Speaker 5: you gotta come play with me. We'll just do twenty
Speaker 5: turns gone, We'll only take a four in the morning.
Speaker 5: So that is probably the context that I reviewed all these.
Speaker 2: I think that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 7: With the pun, I like the pun of fish upon
Speaker 7: a star.
Speaker 2: But it's good.
Speaker 4: Stop we're still on five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, still hovering around five.
Speaker 7: I don't like I'm moving on.
Speaker 1: Let's let's keep going because we got to have a
Speaker 1: show at three pm.
Speaker 7: Right, uh wow, I mean I look, I think it's
Speaker 7: it's almost getting kind of settled here.
Speaker 6: Although people chain said six is great.
Speaker 7: If you want to shout out one of these vide games,
Speaker 7: no but ease artist.
Speaker 5: Is that the one where you can catch all the
Speaker 5: little goombas and sometimes there's a gold goomba.
Speaker 4: Yes, that one. That's a good one.
Speaker 5: Yes, Oh pokey punch Out. That's another one where you're
Speaker 5: just jamming on a like a madman.
Speaker 6: I love that.

Speaker 2: face buns as quick as you can on snowboard.

Speaker 7: been other versions of this. There's that one where you t.

Speaker 2: order like an overcoat kind of thing.
Speaker 5: Oh man, if we didn't know the GameCube ones, these
Speaker 5: we ones and we you went, this is just the
Speaker 5: bad lands of Mario Party. I don't know what the

Speaker 6: original one, Super Mario Party, which.
Speaker 2: We get into some good ones here. Let's see there's
Speaker 2: some good ones. Slabarazzi.
Speaker 5: I think Slaparazzi is one of the best modern Mario
Speaker 5: Party mini games. It's a great name, It's got all
Speaker 5: the marks of a great Mario. Listen, that's the one
Speaker 5: where you're shoving people all the way up. He's a
Speaker 5: good one one.
Speaker 6: Oh Can't Take Pancake? Yes, pancake, and that's whe where
Speaker 6: you get pancakes, especially.
Speaker 5: After what I heard recently about how you can just
Speaker 5: if I wanted to be an asshole, I can just
Speaker 5: hold on to the last pancake forever and the game
Speaker 5: just won't end. I have never been able to deploy
Speaker 5: that nuclear oxen yet, but I've been waiting to play.
Speaker 6: Can't Take Pancake ever since I learned that.
Speaker 2: Oh No, candy shakedown, you know yellow at rumble going there,
Speaker 2: I try to shake the candies out of the jar.
Speaker 5: I prefer for the HG thing or the motion stuff.
Speaker 5: I like the one where you cook the meat.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was looking for that one trying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, which one is the meat?
Speaker 2: That's the one that show in the trailer.
Speaker 4: On the first row.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you're cooking. It's like a cooking look a look.
Speaker 1: So you feel the sizzle and it changes as and
Speaker 1: that's when you flip.
Speaker 5: It and there's the color like you can flip it
Speaker 5: and you can see a good dark on one side
Speaker 5: and everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think I've never played this, and I think it's
Speaker 3: my favorite mini game.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic.
Speaker 5: Oh that sign Steel delivers kind of fun where you
Speaker 5: have you're piloting drones and trying to steal delivery drivers.
Speaker 7: That's funny, steal things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some good ones in here. That's a good game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, I think we got the best one.
Speaker 7: Last calls here, start whittling.
Speaker 2: I think we're probably good.
Speaker 7: We've got a list here, yeah.
Speaker 1: All right for audio listeners once again's we'll go from
Speaker 1: the bottom up. Slaper Rozzi, Shake it Up, Crank to Rank,
Speaker 1: snow World, Dinger, Derby, book Scorm eats a pizza cake factory,
Speaker 1: Bowser's Big Blast, Honeycum, Havoc, roll call, shell Shocked, shy

Speaker 2: you want to move?
Speaker 4: You want to put any locks end? You want to
Speaker 4: put any that are locked?
Speaker 5: Bumper balls is like the it's like the I think
Speaker 5: the first screenshot I saw Mario Party was probably bumper Balls,
Speaker 5: and I instantly was like, oh, I want to play that.
Speaker 2: That's our Washington right there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, okay, George Washington, what was Okay? These are
Speaker 6: all good?
Speaker 5: Look okay, look we all like to laugh at the
Speaker 5: whackoff games.
Speaker 6: Are any of them? Mount rushmore quality? Rank to rank?
Speaker 2: Okay, what are you rank? Like?
Speaker 3: But what do you you? You you it's a flagpole thing.
Speaker 3: It's a flagpole thing.
Speaker 4: Okay, you seriously about cranking the ranking? Dan, You can't
Speaker 4: get one over on this guy.
Speaker 2: People made so many jokes about whacking off with a
Speaker 2: we remote back in the day, and they were basically
Speaker 2: referring to shake it up. I think shake it Up
Speaker 2: could be one that like makes a little ways here close.
Speaker 5: It is fun Actually, Mario party is to laugh with
Speaker 5: your friends while doing competition.
Speaker 1: I think of you laughing playing that when I get
Speaker 1: to shake it up Maria party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is just the wee era version of the
Speaker 2: mashing a meks. That's funny because yeah, you're like whacking
Speaker 2: off with we are stupid.
Speaker 1: We'll say goodbye to crank to rank unfortunately and shake
Speaker 1: it up for now.
Speaker 6: We didn't do tuber Tug.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't think Stooper Tug is a whack off game.
Speaker 6: It just sounds like one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's tuber Tugg. Now I'm gonn.
Speaker 2: I'm immediately thinking, uh, shell shocked. Probably doesn't make it.
Speaker 5: Oh that was the Battle Tanks one. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 5: These are look, these are all good. They're all winners.
Speaker 7: But I don't I don't want guy says Veto.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty iconic one. It's pretty iconic.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of iconic ones here.
Speaker 5: As much as I like cake Factory, and how much
Speaker 5: I like saying cake Factory Country.
Speaker 1: Does just sound like a sexual inia even more than
Speaker 1: some of these other ones. Yeah, I'll go to cake
Speaker 1: Factory dot com and you'll see some real ship.
Speaker 6: Oh good, I think we can take it off. I
Speaker 6: don't know if I could.
Speaker 3: I can't take eats a pizza seriously anymore, now that
Speaker 3: I know they could have named that one.
Speaker 7: It's pizza me Mario.
Speaker 6: No, I think he eats a pizza is better. That's
Speaker 6: a name.
Speaker 4: Pizza.
Speaker 1: It's that it's a pizza me. It's pizza me Mario
Speaker 1: eats a pizza. But so we all say it three
Speaker 1: see one?
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess I'm not feeling Honeycomb havoc either. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love it, but I get it.
Speaker 6: Which one honey comb?
Speaker 5: The one where you want to you're either getting a
Speaker 5: delicious fruit or a bunch of bees singing you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I would take browsers Browser's Big Blast over that for
Speaker 4: like the complete bullshit ones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for a lot of these. If you
Speaker 2: have to ask, that's probably not a good sign.
Speaker 6: Well, that's what it is.
Speaker 5: Like Honeycomb havoc, there is actual strategy you can employ it.
Speaker 5: Bowser's Big Glass is so pure and it's bullshit exactly exactly.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't get the block card Derby.
Speaker 1: I do like it, but yeah, yeah, definitely I like
Speaker 1: that one. A lot, but it's I don't think it's
Speaker 1: going to actually make it after we got through all
Speaker 1: these what's.
Speaker 7: What's snow world again?
Speaker 4: That is the one. It's the face buttons.
Speaker 1: You're going around the face button circleboarding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably not. I'd like just that one. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: probably take that one on.
Speaker 6: Let's cut either crazy cutters or facelift.
Speaker 1: I would I think I would keep you right, god, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm gonna facelift.
Speaker 5: I love facelift because the eyebrows. Okay, you gotta get
Speaker 5: that up there, like justum trying to figure out e bro.
Speaker 5: His nose is a little bit down, like you know, Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's hard. I like them both, almost equally excited to
Speaker 5: them both both. Maybe get rid of book Squirm. I
Speaker 5: like Bookscorm. It's good, but look at the competition here.
Speaker 6: There is a murderers.
Speaker 2: I think in reaching that balance of good and memorable,
Speaker 2: Bookstorm is as memorable for as many people, even though
Speaker 2: it's a very good game.
Speaker 3: What I'll say about is I think it's the maybe
Speaker 3: the best of the game.
Speaker 7: Cub Era.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, easily, I would give you that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's fair. Yeah, roll.
Speaker 6: I like I don't think it the hangs with the
Speaker 6: rest of these, it's not gonna hang.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, look all due respect to hexagon heat.
Speaker 6: Really yeah, great one.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's so close bump the balls exactly.
Speaker 5: It does have the hilarious moment that always happens though,
Speaker 5: where everyone's crowded on the light blue mushroom. One straggler
Speaker 5: is coming up and jumps but bounces off their heads
Speaker 5: into the lava.
Speaker 6: That is a crazy Pier Mario party moment right there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking about another lock, so we'll only
Speaker 1: have to keep two hot rope jump feels like a lot.
Speaker 7: It's just about to suggest we get rid of it.
Speaker 3: It's you got look, I know you have a moment
Speaker 3: for it. It is just jump.
Speaker 5: Not just because of the moment, like that moment was great,
Speaker 5: but like yeah, as a kid playing it was just
Speaker 5: my sisters, we were always excited because it's just so
Speaker 5: everyone's so just locked in on you're locked.
Speaker 4: In yeah, yeah, this is.
Speaker 2: The one you try to get to ninety nine or
Speaker 2: whatever on you know. Yeah, but then Mario Otissey has
Speaker 2: its own challenge. Yes, yeah, that's exactly what they were
Speaker 2: thinking of.
Speaker 5: Mario Otissey had a leader board the single player Mario game,
Speaker 5: but any what the fuck?

Speaker 1: should get a little extra up there because of that,
Speaker 1: But I don't. I love Slaparazzi, but maybe it's not
Speaker 1: actually gonna hang out.
Speaker 2: I love is like in the same pantheon as Book Squirm.

Speaker 5: Yeah, it's we can't give it bonus points or wait,
Speaker 5: because it's like, oh, it's very good for the modern ones,
Speaker 5: you know. I kind of want to say to to
Speaker 5: lock in Bowser's Big Blast just because of how pure
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 6: Just it is in a game full of horseshit.
Speaker 5: It is the one where they don't even try to
Speaker 5: put a veneer over it.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, we should get rid of Hextagon Heat
Speaker 1: because we said that Bowser's Big Blast was more pure
Speaker 1: than hexcott were.
Speaker 5: I thought we already got I love the Bounce, but okay, okay,
Speaker 5: out of this, I gotta say Facelift, Like the whacken
