Happy, Happy New Year. 11 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.119 How's it going too, Yeah, it's going all right so far. 12 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:35.640 Busy. 13 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.439 I've been trying to like get all the Christmas stuff 14 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.079 put away. That was my entire weekend. You can see 15 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.479 if people probably can't see on the thing, but I 16 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.159 got you could see John, there's like, oh like ten 17 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.880 bends over there Christmas stuff, well in various other things. 18 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.600 I got to get those put away in a closet. 19 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.119 It's a whole thing. I didn't finish the projects. So yeah, 20 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.240 been busy, like every minute of the weekend. But when 21 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.159 I wasn't, I would still sneak in some more secretory time. 22 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.359 Like we've cracked the code on that one a little 23 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.400 bit in terms of learning how the scoring system works, 24 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.120 and now it's made the game even more difficult and 25 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.480 less capable of like enabling me to think about anything else. 26 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.680 So yeah, that's going to continue to probably be my 27 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:20.760 twenty twenty six so far. 28 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.040 How about you, You've been doing anything, playing anything? 29 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.640 Yeah, I mean I've been bouncing through a couple of things. 30 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.159 I've kind of decided that for a number of other reasons, 31 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.560 a number of reasons just in general, this is going 32 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.159 to be a big backlog year for me. Currently on 33 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.920 the horizon, there's some stuff I'm looking forward to, but 34 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.159 I really just got to dig into my backlog this year. 35 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.760 So this year has been all about finishing in the 36 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.760 games that I should have beaten years ago, going into 37 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.840 this new year and like you know, just getting ready 38 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.239 for the future. Have a couple of games already under 39 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.760 my belts. I beat Final Fantasy Tactics. That was like 40 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.959 the big game of the holiday break for me. That 41 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:08.000 game is fantastic, phenomenal. It was a game where I 42 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.080 wanted to focus and just beat the story and then 43 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.360 just grinding for job points, job stuff, making the teen 44 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.759 pump work. Well, it's it was such a it was 45 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.520 such a treat. But yeah, that's behind me now, looking 46 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.000 for a couple of things. Control and BioShock one are 47 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.439 very big ten polls. I got a hit earlier this year. Yeah, 48 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.599 and then I'm also trying the Trails in the Sky remake. 49 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.919 My friend has been telling me to get into these 50 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.840 games for decades, that we're finally doing that. 51 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.319 Yeah, here's your chance, now's the time, your backlog era. 52 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:40.919 I love it. 53 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.080 Yes, all right, Well, twenty twenty six is not going 54 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.120 to stop, so we should get on with things and 55 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.199 explain ourselves.

This is from my Nintendo News, 87 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.399 which writes an intro here before They kind of like 88 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.040 have a small bulleted list of the ideas that they 89 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.240 touched on. Nintendo's president Shuntaro for Akawa, has shared more 90 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.439 information about the state of the company and its plans 91 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.920 for a twenty twenty six and its plans for twenty 92 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.800 twenty six in an interview with Japanese news site Kyoto Shimbun. 93 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.439 There were a lot of points discussed, but one important 94 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.399 thing is that the stock of the Nintendo switch To 95 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.759 has now stabilized on a global scale, meaning that it 96 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.839 should now be easy to go to a store and 97 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.639 get a unit. Those hoping for more news about the 98 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.879 upcoming Legends all the movie should being made aware that 99 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:54.759 they're going to drip feed it. Let's get into these 100 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.160 points bit by bit. Yes, the switch to supply has stabilized. Basically, 101 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.839 it's good to go everywhere except for Japan, really, but 102 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.319 if you want to walk into a store just about 103 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.480 anywhere else and get one, you can do so. 104 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.000 Which John, that's like, that's pretty quick. 105 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.160 I think they kind of that was like a big 106 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.720 priority for them, it seems like, and I think that's 107 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.720 it's probably pretty smart that that is that was their focus. 108 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.079 They succeeded there and it kind of made. 109 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.160 This whole, this whole situation of launching the switch to 110 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.920 a little bit less stressful than some of these other 111 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.319 recent consoles, right, And I kind of appreciate that that's 112 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.240 what they did, not that it's like some great favor 113 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.240 They're giving me this opportunity to spend hundreds of dollars 114 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.879 on their stuff. But all these companies have been doing that, 115 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.560 and then a lot of times it was also and 116 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.040 it's impossible to get so good, good fucking luck. So yeah, 117 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.959 that was probably benefited them quite a bit, though, now 118 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.040 that this thing just feels like, oh right, it's going 119 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.680 to be there when people want to make impulse purchases, right. 120 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.920 Yeah, absolutely. I mean that was the biggest thing about 121 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.240 the PS five and the Xbox Series X back in 122 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.920 like twenty twenty, Like it was kind of a lottery 123 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.120 to get it if you were not like paying attention 124 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.279 to like stock alerts or like why are you sixty 125 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.839 four on Twitter? Now Blue Sky, It was kind of 126 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.680 just impossible. Switch to is considerably easier, in fact, like 127 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.160 I feel like I'm more shocked that I don't see 128 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.360 a switch to in stock at a. I guess best 129 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:21.639 Buy is the place I've been going to for a 130 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.600 couple of weeks now for a couple of projects. But yeah, 131 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.920 like it is big. I don't know what it says 132 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:33.480 to about the consistency of buying it, Like, are people 133 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.839 forcing it to get into a position where they needed 134 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.040 to be super well stocked in the future. It's it 135 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.199 seems like we're in a really good place for Switch to. 136 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.199 It seems like they're happy about it. But it's going 137 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.600 to be interesting to see next moves, like what games 138 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.439 are going to like entice people to get in the 139 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.120 near future. 140 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.439 Yeah, so they kind of do talk a little bit 141 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:56.920 about that a couple of times. 142 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:57.040 Here. 143 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.480 Let's talk about this first one here, Nintendo aims to 144 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.000 make switch to an accommodating, generous, and forgiving piece of hardware. 145 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.560 A gentle lover is what I think they're describing here. 146 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.759 Nintendo says taking this approach will help to realize first 147 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.920 and third party dev ideas. 148 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.519 I think, you know, I've never. 149 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.920 Made a game, but you always hear, you always, you 150 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.439 would always hear stories from developers over time about oh, 151 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.279 this console was a nightmare to work with, or this 152 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.079 one had its intricacies and things that required us to 153 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.399 kind of get in there and figure things out. And 154 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.079 then this other one over here was just so easy 155 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.839 to work with. And so you notice a lot of games, 156 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.279 a lot more games get made for that hardware. Sounds 157 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.839 like Nintendo was mindful of that this time, and is 158 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.680 you know, they made the hard they made the hardware, 159 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.920 they made the development kit already, it sounds like they're 160 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.839 not done. Sounds like they're like, we want to keep 161 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.079 improving that, which I find also pretty encouraging. 162 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.120 Right, Yeah, absolutely, Like even for granted, we haven't had 163 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.240 the most amount of switch to ports yet, a lot 164 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.879 of games are doing just custom switch one patches, but 165 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.160 for the most part, like with a couple exceptions in 166 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.680 like some heavier moments, most of the switch to games 167 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.720 run really well. And I think it is that It's 168 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.040 interesting because I feel like it is in the benefit 169 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.279 of the switch to to be a more powerful switch 170 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.480 because it just kind of did kind of put it 171 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.839 on the right path. You kind of know how the 172 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.920 ecosystem and how that way that the layouts and the 173 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.399 UI works with that, it's kind of just a known 174 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.559 quantity which is very different than typical Nintendo. But yeah, 175 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.240 I mean, and as we're seeing more and more people 176 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.879 get their hands on dev kits, like I know that 177 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.480 was a big story that people didn't have dev kits. 178 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.960 Now they might have devkates. It's going to be interesting 179 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.320 to see, and I just am assuming that we're just 180 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.919 going to get a wave of the switch to editions. 181 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.080 I honestly think that's going to be a large chunk 182 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.720 of the games that are pushed for this year. 183 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.840 Yeah, they'll talk about that here in a in a second. 184 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.879 There's you know, kind of multiple things where they're talking 185 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.840 about their plans for what sort of stuff they're going 186 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:04.320 to have here. 187 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.919 But first Nintendo says. 188 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.879 There are people who pick up their first console when 189 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.720 reaching a certain age, and Nintendo wants to make sure 190 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.519 the switch to is accessible for them. You know, this 191 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.919 is this, this has been the strategy, right to be 192 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.519 the console. When a kid gets to a certain age 193 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.799 and wants that sort of thing, what do they ask for? 194 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.480 They ask for the Nintendo device. You know, it kind 195 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.519 of seems like that's still the case. I imagine that 196 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.960 their competition there is not Microsoft or even Sony. It 197 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:40.240 is tablets and phones, right, and maybe some other devices, 198 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.639 but maybe maybe the PC even a little bit, because 199 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.879 kids will watch YouTubers and they be like, oh, they're 200 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:46.519 planning on a PC. 201 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.639 I want to do that as well. 202 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.120 But you know, it's probably just mostly phones and tablets 203 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.639 and that space hasn't changed too much and Nintendo still 204 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.600 feels like a really safe place for adults who want 205 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.399 it gets to for their children, parents who want to 206 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.360 get stuff for their kids, where it's like, oh, I 207 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.559 can feel comfortable that this is a safe place to 208 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.200 send my children to go, you know, spend their time. 209 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.480 Uh that you know, what can they even do there 210 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.480 to grow that? I guess it goes back to having 211 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.600 the right games, right. 212 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.440 Yeah, I mean that's a big thing right now, is 213 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.120 that I feel like on the whole when people are 214 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.720 asking me because I'm at the age where people are 215 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.840 starting to have kids. I'm at the age where my 216 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.399 kid cousins are starting to get like old enough to 217 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.919 be playing games that are a little bit more mature 218 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.720 than something you would just find on an iPad. So 219 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.799 a lot of cousins do ask me what's the best 220 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.080 place for him? He likes this, this and this, and 221 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.440 then just like what is where's the Mario? Where's this? 222 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.720 All the Wars of the Pokemon It's always been that 223 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.480 kind of recommendation, like switch to year one is kind 224 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.559 of interesting because we didn't really have a traditional one 225 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.720 of any of those Big three, like Legendsza with standing, 226 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.320 but that's not like the uh, We're introducing a whole 227 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.279 lot of new creatures and stuff. So it's funny because 228 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.799 like I feel like in a weird away and Nintendo 229 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.039 is now kind of like competing with themselves, like, how 230 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.279 are you going to entice people to switch? Oh that 231 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.879 that was non intended. How are you going to move 232 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.600 people from Switch one to switch too? I think that's 233 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.120 going to be the biggest message or what they need 234 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.080 their twenty twenty six messaging to be. We have some 235 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.879 good games that are only on switch to. We got 236 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.799 to see more of those in some of those big 237 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.519 heavy hitters. 238 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.639 Yeah, I think that it's the kind of thing where 239 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.120 it's like, yeah, they'll they do seem to be thinking 240 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.440 about a pipeline of bringing young people into their stuff. 241 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.200 That's what like My Mario stuff is definitely about how 242 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.480 effective that's actually going to be. 243 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:36.159 And again My. 244 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.399 Mario is a series of products for very young kids, 245 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.399 toddlers and stuff. There's like blocks that are ambo supported 246 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.559 all this weird stuff. Again, I don't I don't know 247 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.200 how effective that that is actually going to be, but 248 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.120 it does show Nintendo's thinking about that so that they 249 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.679 can introduce Mario to them while they're young, and then 250 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.600 they'll be ready to go for Mario. And then there's 251 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.799 you know, there's that Mario movie coming later this year, right, 252 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:00.720 that's later this year. 253 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.279 That's yeah, I keep forgetting that. 254 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.600 So it's like okay, and then yeah, and it's it's 255 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.919 likely they'll probably have some Mario stuff to go alongside that, 256 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.799 or make a big deal about all the Mario games. 257 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.440 That are already here. 258 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.120 But it really will come down to that next big 259 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.679 Mario game and that will get the kids excited again. 260 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.879 So how close is that, we don't know. But they 261 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.840 do talk about some of these other things. 262 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.840 Let's see here. 263 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.080 The h they well, first they talk about the memory stuff, 264 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.200 but we're gonna have a full story about that here 265 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:30.000 in a moment. 266 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.759 So let's see here. 267 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.639 Nintendo will further enhance their software offerings from twenty twenty 268 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.600 six onwards. I got to take that to mean that's 269 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.200 the Nintendo switch to editions. That's that's got to be 270 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.519 what that is talking about. There's a lot of like 271 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.879 obvious candidates for that. Still, the Zeno Blade games come 272 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.200 up every single time. 273 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.080 Yeah, that's the wildest one to me that's been That 274 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.679 was like, one of the best things to have happened 275 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.960 with the switch To is that Xeno Blade as a series, 276 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.840 like got to a level where it is now not 277 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.000 just like the guy from Smash like it is its 278 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.759 own franchise, has its own consistent fan base. It's just 279 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.279 those games run so poorly, especially in handheld mode, and 280 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.120 there was even like I remember people talking about x 281 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.879 having a sixty fps toggle. It's just they never unlocked 282 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.600 that for switch To. So that's I assume that's going 283 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:21.639 to tie in with maybe they announced a new big game. 284 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.759 But yeah, that and Pickment are probably the two that 285 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:29.039 I want the most personally. But yeah, we have no 286 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.879 shortage of games that they can re release for ten 287 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.200 to twenty dollars and people will pay for it. 288 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:35.159 Chat. 289 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.639 Did they officially announced that Pickment three Deluxe Nintendo switch 290 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:39.200 To Edition? 291 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.360 I think that's just like a rating spoort right now? 292 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.360 Yeah? Yeah, yeah. 293 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.279 I've been mating to do the co op campaign with 294 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.000 one of my friends who's never played a Pickman game, 295 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.039 and that's always the one I go to just because 296 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.279 it's gorgeous and fully co op. But I don't think 297 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.759 it's officially yet. 298 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.480 Oh yeah, So, like as you say, that's oh, yeah, 299 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.519 like they they've not done like a switch to edition 300 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:06.960 of Luigi's Mansion three, right, that feels like that could happen. Yeah, 301 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.360 there's even like arms feels like that it might be 302 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.799 a candidate for this sort of thing. So there's plenty 303 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.000 of stuff they can go back to, and then they 304 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.360 you know, could even work with some third party partners 305 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.360 or whatever. The Hades won Nintendo switch to edition that 306 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.240 sort of stuff, all right, and then yes, they do 307 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.159 get to like the big stuff here. Frokawas said, Nintendo 308 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.360 is developing popular series titles that many fans are waiting for, 309 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:36.600 but also completely new software. 310 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.120 The company that has made. 311 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:42.399 Zelda and Mario for years will make Zelda and Mario again, 312 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.600 but you know, also promising completely new software. Who knows 313 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.240 what that means. That could they could be talking about 314 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.759 some weird small thing or whatever. But yeah, they this 315 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.480 is this is the big thing for them. They have 316 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.559 to deliver on Mario and Zelda, and the big I mean, 317 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.360 Smash Brothers is one that I'm sure they're thinking about. 318 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.759 So this is them saying, hey, we know this and 319 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:04.919 we're gonna get to it. 320 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:07.080 But it has been a lot. 321 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.399 Of switch to editions so far supporting their lineup that 322 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.519 switch where it's like it feels like the balance is 323 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:19.879 on updating older games versus switch to games. Twenty twenty 324 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.720 six should be the year where we feel that balance shift, right. 325 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.279 We can't go through all twenty twenty six where it's like, no, 326 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.639 that's gonna happen next year. 327 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.320 At least that's how I feel. What do you think? 328 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.240 Yeah, I think. I mean a big chunk of my 329 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.840 thought process is just how many ports there were in 330 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.840 like the first real big year or like year twenty 331 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.240 eighteen basically was like the year of we U ports 332 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.000 and stuff. I'm expecting to see something similar to that. 333 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.519 But it also is like compound with like there's so 334 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.279 many game anniversaries that they might want to like make 335 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.519 a big deal about it and finally re release ports 336 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.240 we've been waiting for forever. But yeah, I think this 337 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.840 is the year where they really need to show new 338 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.039 things coming up. Like I was trying to prepare for 339 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.159 for like a Fantasy critic, and I was really thinking 340 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.639 that Splatoon Raiders is really the only big game that 341 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.879 I can think of besides like a fire Rumbum, which 342 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.000 already has like a date. Those are like the two 343 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.840 big ones, and I feel like that can't be the 344 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.600 only like big games for this year. We're gonna need 345 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.159 to like actually separate the Switch one for the switch too, 346 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.200 especially as there's going to be reasons why people might 347 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.320 just straight up go for a Switch one due to 348 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:29.879 price and availability versus the switch too. Yeah, I'm not 349 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.399 really sure what to expect from Nintendo. Like I'm assuming 350 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.480 we're going to get like that one huge game at 351 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.080 the end of the year, and I don't think it's 352 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.159 gonna be a fire embum And I don't think Splatoon 353 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.840 Raiders effectively fits that billing, whether we hear it now 354 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.799 or and halfway through the year. That's my biggest question. 355 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.799 Is it going to be a very slow first half 356 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.000 of the year and then it's just gonna go balls 357 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.519 of the walls? 358 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:52.720 Then? 359 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:53.399 What do you think? 360 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.039 Yeah, I mean, Mike always plaints that, like second year 361 00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.120 is often when we get the Smash game. I don't 362 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.360 know if that happens the time around, but they're certainly 363 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.200 noticing that. They're certainly talking about that Nintendo of like 364 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.160 this is when we would normally have a Smash and 365 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.240 that like reaches that specific audience, and we would like 366 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.720 to do that again. 367 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.680 So they probably are. 368 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.200 They're formulating that plan whether or not that that I mean, 369 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.440 it probably doesn't because it's going to require a lot 370 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:24.240 of effort, and even if it's a deluxe version of 371 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.599 the last game, they probably going to want to give 372 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.960 it some time and really develop that stuff. 373 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.160 So it's probably always off. 374 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.519 And then beyond that, it's like, you know, what I 375 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.920 imagine is, yeah, there's maybe something really big, and then 376 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.000 the other games, the new software might be, oh, the 377 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.279 follow up to a Ring Fit Adventure, Right, maybe it's 378 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.240 a Ring Fit Adventure too, or maybe it's a new 379 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.400 exercise fitness game. But they'll probably want to have something 380 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.440 like that just because they have had such success with 381 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.599 that multiple times now with We Fit and Ring Fit Adventure. 382 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:54.160 And it's like, you know. 383 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.839 Especially if you are in a situation where you're trying 384 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.319 to continue to make these higher prices feel like they 385 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.119 make sense, underling a big peripheral like the ring thing 386 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:05.920 or something like that always helps with that helps them 387 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.720 charge more. 388 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.400 So they would love that. 389 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:13.160 All right, Let's see here they talked about the RAM, 390 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.799 but we'll talk about that in a bit. They also 391 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.440 talked about like their movie strategy, their film strategy for 392 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.160 a Kya wants to build excitement leading up to the 393 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.559 Super Mario Galaxy movie. 394 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:25.000 Okay, yeah, who wouldn't. 395 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.440 Nintendo will share info regarding the legend of Zelda film, 396 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:33.039 but we'll do so gradually. Nintendo's focus for movies, he 397 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.720 keeps reiterating this. I'm starting to believe it to a 398 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.720 certain extent, is not short term profits. 399 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.839 But character exposure. 400 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.119 I bet that's not like it's probably not that simple, 401 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.079
