Speaker 1: You are listening to Video Games to the Max. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to another edition of Video Games to the Max.
Speaker 1: I am your host, John Garmer here with me as usual,
Speaker 1: mister Mark Morrison. Howdy and well today this is it
Speaker 1: people the week with the switch to releases Thursday, June fifth.
Speaker 1: I know people are already waiting there for that midnight release.
Speaker 1: At many at Best Buyer Game Stop, people are sitting there.
Speaker 1: I'm one of them sitting there, going is somebody, I
Speaker 1: hope to God keep getting good news about the order
Speaker 1: of shipping or going to be shipped or whatnot. So
Speaker 1: I know there's some unfortunate people that have had their
Speaker 1: orders canceled, whether it's a glitch or I've even heard
Speaker 1: a parent Like with Walmart, they've like triple charge people
Speaker 1: and that led to the cancelation because most people don't
Speaker 1: have like fifteen hundred dollars just sitting in their account
Speaker 1: to you know, wait to get charged. I know I wouldn't,
Speaker 1: so just to be honest about that, So you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully anybody that that wants to switch to can get it,
Speaker 1: whether it's after release. GameStop already said they're gonna have
Speaker 1: a lot and I've seen some stories already said that
Speaker 1: they have like fifty just there that aren't even for
Speaker 1: pre order, So hopefully anybody that wants to get a
Speaker 1: switch To will be able to get one pretty quickly
Speaker 1: after launch or not. But we'll talk about our predictions
Speaker 1: for switch To at the end of the episode. We
Speaker 1: don't have a lot, we don't have anything really to
Speaker 1: talk about with games because they have both have been
Speaker 1: playing anything like relatively new. So we're getting into news
Speaker 1: talking about our switch To predictions and you know, anything
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to with Summer Game Fest also coming
Speaker 1: up here on Friday as well, So just let me
Speaker 1: go ahead and hit the start and I'll get into
Speaker 1: what we're gonna be doing as far as Summer Game
Speaker 1: Fest and all that. All right, so really quick here,
Speaker 1: just to get the housekeeping out of the way. This
Speaker 1: is Summer Game Fest time. You know, obviously showcases galore
Speaker 1: on Friday, Saturday, Sunday's the Xbox One, and even Monday
Speaker 1: there's a few as well. So the plan so that
Speaker 1: we don't just do everything in one show, which would
Speaker 1: be ridiculous, We're going to divvy it up. Saturday, We're
Speaker 1: gonna cover Summer Game Fest and then kind of like
Speaker 1: you know, Day of the Devs or any of the
Speaker 1: bigger ones, maybe that that happened in that time. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of indie ones that are on Saturday, for sure,
Speaker 1: and then on Monday, we'll do the Xbox One and
Speaker 1: then I guess whatever other ones may be happening on
Speaker 1: Sunday or Monday. There's a whole schedule out there that
Speaker 1: you can go check out, and I'm sure there will
Speaker 1: be other stuff perhaps during the week that you know,
Speaker 1: there's rumors going around that Sony's gonna have one at
Speaker 1: some point Nintendo, who usually has one at the end
Speaker 1: of the months that they avoid Summer Game Fest altogether.
Speaker 1: This is the first year that they're actually part of
Speaker 1: Summer game fests officially, so maybe the rumors of their
Speaker 1: actually being a direct that is part of Summer game
Speaker 1: Fests are true the summer round, so we'll see. It
Speaker 1: seems kind of like if you're gonna make the switch
Speaker 1: come out the day before Summer Game Fests, there's something
Speaker 1: going on there, like you're connected to it in some way,
Speaker 1: like they could have picked any other day in June,
Speaker 1: right right, But anyway, as far as the housekeeping goes.
Speaker 1: Aside from that, that's what our plan is for this week.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have two shows, so there's not so much
Speaker 1: to discuss in one go. Hopefully you can watch live
Speaker 1: on Mondays. We used to come at you around nine
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook two network. You
Speaker 1: can find us there or you can go subscribe to
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel and you can watch us on the
Speaker 1: man whenever you like. Anytime there's an episode, you'll get
Speaker 1: a notification, you know, ring that bell and all that,
Speaker 1: and you'll know when we do an episode, which is
Speaker 1: almost usually on Mondays pretty much, unless something like this
Speaker 1: where we have to do something on Saturday as well. Also,
Speaker 1: if you subscribe to the channel, you get our other
Speaker 1: shows that are part of the network as well. So
Speaker 1: if you like anything that has to do with like
Speaker 1: entertainment TV, movies, especially movies rather you're broadcasting, folks got
Speaker 1: you covered on that. They're doing the Lilo and Stitch review.
Speaker 1: They've done the Mission Impossible, you know part whatever that
Speaker 1: is seven review. You know, all the movies that have
Speaker 1: come out like in this summer blockbuster season so far,
Speaker 1: they've reviewed those. So if you are big into that,
Speaker 1: you can go check that out. They keep up with
Speaker 1: with TV shows pretty well as well, so you know
Speaker 1: you can go check out if your favorite show was
Speaker 1: reviewed by them or not. And also anime all we
Speaker 1: got a great anime show a Taco Cafe that they
Speaker 1: cover pretty much all the seasonal anime that comes out
Speaker 1: five season, so they do a great job there, so
Speaker 1: you can go check us out all on podcasts as well,
Speaker 1: So search the three shows rather than broadcasting us video
Speaker 1: against the Maxwell Taco Cafe and find us, you know,
Speaker 1: follow and subscribe on the favorite podcasting app of your
Speaker 1: choice there and you know, give us a review if
Speaker 1: you'd like. That helps out as well. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: Mark beat Clair Obscure last week, I don't you said
Speaker 1: you picked up a game right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's picking and one and two collection finally.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, So what you're gonna start?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got to piss vibrations that sooner or later.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Still I have not played much. I only played
Speaker 1: the Switch version for like, you know, a few hours,
Speaker 1: so still have to get.
Speaker 2: Back to that.
Speaker 1: Maybe in the the the not having that many games
Speaker 1: out for Switch one or I mean Switch to, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll get back to some of those in the meantime.
Speaker 1: For Yeah, I did review and not stay proficshing, so
Speaker 1: it's up there on the Outer Haven side. I'll have
Speaker 1: a link in the description if y'all want to check
Speaker 1: out that. Obviously, I talked about it last week, kind
Speaker 1: of gave my little mini review on the episode, but
Speaker 1: I haven't really gotten to playing anything yet. I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna get back into Clear Obscure before we get to
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday when I'm waiting for so yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: definitely maybe have some final thoughts to go on that
Speaker 1: next week, but we'll see lots to get into between
Speaker 1: now and Saturday and Monday. But I guess we'll just
Speaker 1: go ahead and go straight into the news. So we
Speaker 1: don't really have much as far as games to talk about,
Speaker 1: right Yeah, anything that kind of has to do with
Speaker 1: switch To, we'll talk about that altogether at the end.
Speaker 1: But did want to give a shout out to claireup
Speaker 1: Scares position thirty three because thirty three days after release,
Speaker 1: they've sold three point three million copies, and again that's
Speaker 1: with the game being out on game Pass, so definitely
Speaker 1: it has It's been a a something that's hit the site, guys,
Speaker 1: and people are buying it and that's great and experiencing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yen's beat it, I think like last week,
Speaker 2: and he he liked it, but he didn't really like
Speaker 2: fall in love with it or even like the turn
Speaker 2: based combat much. Only spent like thirty hours playing it.
Speaker 2: I think you kind of mainline the quest or mainline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like if you spent that much, you
Speaker 1: pretty much didn't do any side quists.
Speaker 2: It feels like, ah, and yeah, like you had the
Speaker 2: same uh problem, well not as bad, but the same
Speaker 2: complaint as your friend Crafty did. Like kind of why
Speaker 2: I did is be turn based And I'm like that, no, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, yeah, that would kind of make it. I brought
Speaker 1: that up too, that there was a lot of people
Speaker 1: that said if there was if a turn based mode,
Speaker 1: they would have enjoyed it or played more of it.
Speaker 1: And I kind of get his point, But then it's like,
Speaker 1: that's that takes out like half the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it makes it like just another standard game,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that's what makes it special is
Speaker 1: that you have to be active while you play it
Speaker 1: in you get to enjoy all the other great stuff
Speaker 1: about it. So, did he have a problem with it
Speaker 1: not having a math as well.
Speaker 2: No, heck, you didn't mention that much. I should ask
Speaker 2: them because intertthing you and I don't like.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my biggest and I hope at some point,
Speaker 1: whether it's with DLC or something or a PATS that
Speaker 1: they can put that in.
Speaker 2: At some point they'll charge you for it.
Speaker 1: That would be interesting to be like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we only charge fifty bucks for the game, so right,
Speaker 1: you know, we got to get our get some money
Speaker 1: back somehow for you getting this feature that you've wanted.
Speaker 2: And it's funny. So the guy, one of the guys
Speaker 2: who made the game say like, oh, if you guys
Speaker 2: knew the budget, you know it's extremely low. And I
Speaker 2: can kind of see part of that, but also like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you have a good art style and you make it
Speaker 2: an economical game or make it bigger than it actually is,
Speaker 2: then that helps. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean they are small, like the internal team is small,
Speaker 1: but obviously they had a lot of contractors and things
Speaker 1: like that that worked on it. So it's not like
Speaker 1: the entire game was made only by thirty people, right,
Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely they kept the costlo that's why they
Speaker 1: could charge they didn't have to charge sixty or seventy
Speaker 1: dollars because they didn't have to make that much money back,
Speaker 1: which is something for the gaming industry as a whole
Speaker 1: to look towards and say, Okay, we keep ballooning the budgets,
Speaker 1: we keep having to do layoffs, so we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, some major layoffs here from another
Speaker 1: you know, big publisher pretty soon. And it's like, one
Speaker 1: of the reasons is because you keep spending money on
Speaker 1: things and then not being able to recoup that money,
Speaker 1: or you're spending so much time having that team get
Speaker 1: spun up and making the game that so many years
Speaker 1: go by and nothing happens, and you're kind of like, well,
Speaker 1: we got to cut our losses now, and it's like
Speaker 1: it it sucks. Yeah, and Triple A dev need to
Speaker 1: figure this out sooner, arriving later hopefully. But it's it's
Speaker 1: good that especially thirty three keeps rolling along and doing well.
Speaker 1: Another game that, even though it's probably not unexpected for anybody.
Speaker 1: Elder Ring night Rain. They didn't officially say it's sold.
Speaker 1: They just said it has two million nightfares, which I
Speaker 1: imagine means they have two millions sold, right, I don't
Speaker 1: know why they couldn't just said sold too many copies whatever,
Speaker 1: But you know, it does have mixed reviews and they
Speaker 1: are having to patch it because apparently they didn't really
Speaker 1: modify the if you want to play solo kind of
Speaker 1: made it all feel like it's the same whether you
Speaker 1: play solo or you play with the trio, which I
Speaker 1: also wonder, like why couldn't you have two people? Like
Speaker 1: why is it just it has to be three or
Speaker 1: you could play if you can play by yourself, why
Speaker 1: is it so bad if you play with two people?
Speaker 2: You know, like they're always weird and precious about their
Speaker 2: online systems as opposed to actually just making sense.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, does that make you any more
Speaker 1: interested that they might be lowering the the entry level
Speaker 1: for solo players?
Speaker 2: So like if you know, because I still I just
Speaker 2: want to play at the end and that's only two people.
Speaker 2: So and he doesn't really want to play it because
Speaker 2: it's like Rogue Lake nature of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think of ure? Are you surprised
Speaker 1: by the review scores for this? Like I figured they'd
Speaker 1: still somewhere be in the like the high eighties or something.
Speaker 2: Being no kid, it took an offshoot of an offshoot,
Speaker 2: and if you know, if you have a bad experience
Speaker 2: of playing with multiple online people and you basically can't
Speaker 2: play solo unless you're like God to Earth, then yeah,
Speaker 2: like i'd expect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I do think it might. The scores
Speaker 1: may get better now that you have a lot of
Speaker 1: reviewers that perhaps weren't able to play in the review
Speaker 1: period but are playing after the fact and they can
Speaker 1: go and play solo. It might improve some of the
Speaker 1: scores some for the people that haven't like scored it
Speaker 1: yet or doing a review in progress, right whatnot? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder. I mean, obviously for ben on inco wud
Speaker 1: they care as those sales at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Obviously the critics scores and all that help. But you know,
Speaker 1: if you're getting the sales despite that, which this being
Speaker 1: a big franchise, you do have people that like to
Speaker 1: play it with friends, and you can find enough friends
Speaker 1: to play it with, you know, the three friends, and
Speaker 1: I guess it'll be fun for you to experience that. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't you think this will win any awards or
Speaker 1: be up there for that, No at all. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: be very shocked. I'm sure some people will find a
Speaker 1: way to shoe pointed in there.
Speaker 2: I mean I might. I'm sure, maybe like best art
Speaker 2: Style and might get like a nomination or maybe like
Speaker 2: best Ongoing Game or something stupid like that, but not
Speaker 2: Game of the Year or not, you know, any any
Speaker 2: of the big stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are stop in those games. Is
Speaker 1: always really cool, regardless of whether it's like your bag
Speaker 1: or not. But I know crathys him playing it. I'll
Speaker 1: be interested. I'll have to talk to him and see
Speaker 1: what what he thinks. I know he has definitely helps
Speaker 1: him more because he has a crew to play it
Speaker 1: with and all that, which, so you know, that's uh
Speaker 1: plus for them. But yeah, I mean, look, I'm sure
Speaker 1: Ben Andamco and and from Soft probably wish that everything
Speaker 1: was a lot nicer higher all that stuff, But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they make the money. That's
Speaker 1: what matters, and it can keep fun the the dust
Speaker 1: floods thing, which that's gonna be interesting how that gets
Speaker 1: perceived when that hits us switch to right, sure, you know,
Speaker 1: and how how much different is that as a multiplayer
Speaker 1: experience compared to you know whatever, you know what Night
Speaker 1: Rain is so we'll see. I guess is that rolls
Speaker 1: along there. You know. Aside from that, we've had a
Speaker 1: few things on the PlayStations. When it comes to h
Speaker 1: they announced the PS plus games for this month, and
Speaker 1: also like they did the Days of Play, they're doing
Speaker 1: the days of Play thing right now, so you can
Speaker 1: get like a PSI Pro for fifty bucks off. If
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thought it was gonna go on
Speaker 1: a sale that quick, and it's you know, it's out there.
Speaker 1: You can definitely go and get it if you want.
Speaker 1: They did announce that it's interesting that both the Destiny
Speaker 1: Final Shape DLC expansion and then also like the rest
Speaker 1: of Destiny's expansions, they're all coming between PS plus Extra
Speaker 1: and then the like Essentrals thing, and then also NBA
Speaker 1: two K twenty five, which makes sense because you know,
Speaker 1: seasons basically about the end. They're entering the NBA Finals
Speaker 1: right now. Ohen Bones Ubisausa is just dying to get
Speaker 1: anybody to keep it.
Speaker 2: Man, it's a quadruple A game. It's the first one
Speaker 2: ever right.
Speaker 1: That's coming to PSLOS extra grant that thought a three
Speaker 1: definitive edition and another Crafts Treasure which that's been on
Speaker 1: game Pass. That's a great U Dark Soul's like as well.
Speaker 1: And then also was it the jet Set Radio E
Speaker 1: Spiritual successor game Bomb? Yeah Bomb ros cyber Funk is
Speaker 1: also part of the Essentials thing as well, So yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely go check that out if it's your bag. And
Speaker 1: also if you like Missed and I've always wanted to
Speaker 1: play Mister Ribbon, you can do that at the if
Speaker 1: you had the Premium tier.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: I know this is not like your favorite game or anything. Uh,
Speaker 1: we don't have Randy on here to talk about it,
Speaker 1: but I know he is. He is super excited about
Speaker 1: de Stranding and des Stranding two. Sorry, and that is
Speaker 1: getting not only an anime, not only a movie now
Speaker 1: it's getting a whole live world tour where Kajima's going
Speaker 1: and doing basically in a like death Stranding two presents
Speaker 1: every time that they do a show. Hey, Henry, and
Speaker 1: yes we'll be talking about switch to later. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing the midnight launch, but I'm hoping that the delivery
Speaker 1: will get there on June fifth for me, so I'm
Speaker 1: not waiting around. You know, thankfully live in a gated community,
Speaker 1: so I don't have to worry about it like necessarily
Speaker 1: somebody stealing it. But still it's just that nervousness of
Speaker 1: like I don't want it sitting out there either, even
Speaker 1: though I imagine Walmart will still put it in some
Speaker 1: kind of Walmart box and everyone'll just say switch to
Speaker 1: on it, please come get me. But yeah, going back
Speaker 1: to this for a second, they are going to have
Speaker 1: like the the first one that's gonna be shown during
Speaker 1: Summer Game Fest is gonna have Jeff Keey hosting at
Speaker 1: the orpheum Uh. It's gonna be shown on the official
Speaker 1: PlayStation YouTube channel as well at ten pm Eastern pretty
Speaker 1: late obviously being Pacific, they're gonna it's gonna be late
Speaker 1: for us on the Eastern side. But I mean he's
Speaker 1: gonna be going to South Korea, London, Hong Kong, uh, Sydney, Australia, Japan,
Speaker 1: all that you think this is gonna this is gonna
Speaker 1: help really now, you know, push that game at all.
Speaker 2: Or not in the latest I mean no, I really
Speaker 2: don't get to like this whole world worldwide tour stuff
Speaker 2: for most stuff in the first place. But it's like
Speaker 2: eight cities or maybe nine, so who cares.
Speaker 1: I mean the switch to I kind of get it
Speaker 1: right because you know, you get people that didn't get
Speaker 1: to pre order.
Speaker 2: They switch to different because every Walmart and Gings Cup
Speaker 2: and Land will have switched two ki asks in a week.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well not necessarily. I think like Best
Speaker 1: Buys on the Best Buys only one really, and I
Speaker 1: think Navy game stuff that I've seen does that like
Speaker 1: it too? Okay, Walmart's doing it all right. I mean
Speaker 1: I obviously I haven't been inside of an actual.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, speaking of that, I did hit up at
Speaker 2: Target last week and it was the first time I've
Speaker 2: ever been to They didn't have video games.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of them that are starting
Speaker 1: to like lessen the amount, right. It's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that there's been a lot of talk about
Speaker 1: their going to there's a lot of places that are
Speaker 1: going to lessen the amount of Xbox stock that they
Speaker 1: have to put more switch stuff.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, I don't I can see the you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just switch toes coming out. They'll have a much
Speaker 2: bigger and had a bigger presence for a while, but
Speaker 2: like this Target didn't have anything, and I was like
Speaker 2: looking around on what happened?
Speaker 1: Well, like literally nothing at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I figured it would have been either near TVs.
Speaker 2: It it always kind of is or uh like near
Speaker 2: toys or like near the geek isle kind of yeah,
Speaker 2: and nothing like not even like one aisle. I was like, wow,
Speaker 2: I was like, is this a kmart? What happened?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It actually just kind of feel like a kmart, Like
Speaker 2: it seemed like a retrofitted kmart or you know, it's
Speaker 2: a very small target. So that might have been why.
Speaker 1: You didn't ask anyone if if they know it was.
Speaker 2: It was in Ohio, so who knows what those people
Speaker 2: are up to? Yeah, yeah, but like you know, why
Speaker 2: not just say fuck it? Make like a food line
Speaker 2: and it's like going to McDonald's and you order the
Speaker 2: desk training hamburger and it's like eight months old, but
Speaker 2: here you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I think you know, Kohima was actually doing
Speaker 1: stuff in grand style, So it doesn't really surprise me
Speaker 1: per say.
Speaker 2: That he's yeah, it's like sitting up like big big cities.
Speaker 2: It's not like he's going like Omaha, Nebraska, Yeah, New
Speaker 2: York City and you know Rome and like that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no ship well and.
Speaker 1: I mean he's obviously he's uh, you know, one of
Speaker 1: the greatest game makers of all time. People you know
Speaker 1: know him just as koch Eva. They're gonna come out
Speaker 1: and see him.
Speaker 2: So him and Randy Pichford.
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's not a comparency there. But all right,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, most of this is we're gonna get
Speaker 1: into the conversation here is really based around well we.
Speaker 2: Got now that's like a few other things that Black
Speaker 2: Panther game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was gonna get into. Most of
Speaker 1: this is based around EA and their decision here too,
Speaker 1: just after four years of development that they supposedly, according
Speaker 1: to reports, the game just never got out of pre
Speaker 1: production for whatever reason. Also, I imagine that kind of
Speaker 1: seeing some of the other what's happened with you know,
Speaker 1: Star Wars Outlaws, No, they're doing well, Marvel Rivals is
Speaker 1: starting to kind of lose players. We're starting to see
Speaker 1: like licensed games are kind of like outside of their
Speaker 1: own what we talked about last week with Star Wars
Speaker 1: Battlefront two that that's kind of gotten a resurgence. A
Speaker 1: lot of the licensed games are kind of starting to
Speaker 1: like peter out or it's becoming a bigger cost cost
Speaker 1: issue for these companies. And EA is already in deep
Speaker 1: with Star Wars and uh, you know they they also
Speaker 1: have the iron Man game with motive still going on,
Speaker 1: which she has to wonder does that affect that game
Speaker 1: at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sick to the chopping block, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, but like I think also it's just iron Man
Speaker 1: is an easier self for people, right, Like, you know
Speaker 1: what iron Man is, I mean black you know.
Speaker 2: No, Black Panther is huge.
Speaker 1: He is, but he's not still not a huge desiron Man.
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that you can there's a
Speaker 1: lot of ways you can go with Black Panther. What
Speaker 1: if somebody doesn't like the story and it gets the
Speaker 1: bad negative vibes and then.
Speaker 2: No, you know what you do with Black Panther is
Speaker 2: you look at that Arkham Asylum game or a Batman game,
Speaker 2: go hey, can you replace the model with Black Panther?
Speaker 2: And there you go, like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Definitely the combat could be modeled after.
Speaker 2: That and everything, like even the whole stealth system or
Speaker 2: you know, like screw it. Why not. The problem, the
Speaker 2: inherent problem with an iron Man game really is it's
Speaker 2: gonna have to be open world. It's almost the same
Speaker 2: problem with Superman if you don't have this stupid like
Speaker 2: vulnerability problem. But it has to be open a world,
Speaker 2: and it has to kind of be like fast because
Speaker 2: he you know, flies around quickly and that costs a
Speaker 2: lot of money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just to be uh, just to go through
Speaker 1: this a little bit red Valentine and ign this is
Speaker 1: the one that kind of wrote the support. She mentions
Speaker 1: that you know, this is part of I mean, he
Speaker 1: has already been laying off people at other studios, so
Speaker 1: this is not just Cliffhanger Games, but they're going to
Speaker 1: be laying off other people at their mobile studios and
Speaker 1: central teams. Along with the closure of Cliffhanger Games. They've
Speaker 1: already laid off one hundred people at the Apex at
Speaker 1: Apex Legends, which is ironic because they mentioned that they
Speaker 1: now have four pillars that they're focusing on as far
Speaker 1: as franchises out side of the EA Sports. So the SIMS, Skate,
Speaker 1: Apex Legends, and you know between uh, I guess Star
Speaker 1: Wars with the strategy game and the Jedi game that's
Speaker 1: going on and whatever ends up happening with Ironman, and
Speaker 1: I mean also, like, do you all really think Skate's
Speaker 1: gonna do amazing, Like.
Speaker 2: It's a free to play game that is untested. I mean,
Speaker 2: people have wanted a skate game, but I think like
Speaker 2: their whole social aspect of it is incredibly ill conceived,
Speaker 2: like most of what they've tried to do with Neat
Speaker 2: for speed Ah. And you know we talked about the SIMS.
Speaker 2: They're not making a SIMS five. You know they're going
Speaker 2: to coast on that.
Speaker 1: Right, same thing They're going to keep coasting, yeah on that.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not saying I'm not going like they
Speaker 2: need to make the SIMS be like mad and like
Speaker 2: there doesn't need to be a new SIMS game every year.
Speaker 2: That'd be crazy. But we know after I would say
Speaker 2: a decade or fifteen years, you know it's time to
Speaker 2: it's time to make another one, or it's trying to
Speaker 2: make a new platform or you know, a new base
Speaker 2: for this crab.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wonder also, like what it says, like
Speaker 1: how much did it have to do with Does Eddy
Speaker 1: this have to do with Disney at all? You know,
Speaker 1: because they're paying a licensing fee for that, and maybe
Speaker 1: they don't see this panning out by the time the
Speaker 1: Black Panther game comes out. Maybe there's even a worse
Speaker 1: space for this kind of game.
Speaker 2: I mean, which yeah, I could. I can see it
Speaker 2: because a lot of their lot at Disney's or Marvel's
Speaker 2: rolls of the Dice haven't hit correctly. Look at you know,
Speaker 2: Guardians or Avengers. But I think like if they didn't
Speaker 2: maybe dedicated like a single player, actual good Black Panther game,
Speaker 2: that's kind of if it's time of Liken the mold of.
Speaker 1: That's what this was supposed to be, because this was
Speaker 1: a lot of the Monolith team that had come over.
Speaker 1: And that's what's kind of sad about this is really
Speaker 1: is like they were trying to do their own version
Speaker 1: of U the Nemesis system, and it would have been
Speaker 1: cool to see somebody else try to do this, aside
Speaker 1: from you know, Monolith themselves with that winder Woman game
Speaker 1: that also got canceled, and then you know, Suicide Squad
Speaker 1: was terrible and all that stuff. So it's it's just
Speaker 1: kind of sucks to see that it didn't come out.
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be based off of you know,
Speaker 1: the player would have been to Shalla's son because to
Speaker 1: Shaa gets kidnapped and you know what happens with that
Speaker 1: by by the scrolls, so like there was an interesting
Speaker 1: story there, there was an interesting gameplay system that seemed
Speaker 1: to be there. But perhaps it's like one of those
Speaker 1: where eas like looking at the finances, looking at where
Speaker 1: they can cut costs, and they go, man, we can't
Speaker 1: wait another four years for this going.
Speaker 2: That's the thing is I don't. It didn't seem like
Speaker 2: the project itself had like a good lead, yeah, or
Speaker 2: a good herald like if you're not in four years
Speaker 2: in your song pre production, right, it's like is that
Speaker 2: games gonna come for the PS six or you know,
Speaker 2: like that's a that's a ways off it to begin with.
Speaker 2: But sure.
Speaker 1: It sucks for these people that are losing their jobs
Speaker 1: that don't get to be put into other parts of
Speaker 1: the a right, you know, I hate to see that
Speaker 1: it's a thing within the industry keeps happening.
Speaker 2: I really think, like more than I mean, it's on
Speaker 2: par of Activision. Say we will about Ubisoft, but at
Speaker 2: least say they occasionally make like weird shit, not always successful,
Speaker 2: in fact, very little of it is. But EA and
Speaker 2: Activision are like so lock into just like their one
Speaker 2: or two core franchises say they can't see like the
Speaker 2: forest through the trees, like they need to diversify, not
Speaker 2: just put all their eggs in one or two baskets
Speaker 2: and hope for they're mask.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but the thing is like they're they're
Speaker 1: kind of they're trying to get away from the licensing stuff, right,
Speaker 1: that's part of this, right, I mean, they they kind
Speaker 1: of had to make another Jedi, and they were already
Speaker 1: whirl into development on that you know, strategy game that
Speaker 1: they announced recently, so with from Respond, and they're they're
Speaker 1: really counting on Respond here. That's almost all of that
Speaker 1: is one studio, right, a lot of it is on them.
Speaker 1: And then there's rumors already that Code Masters is basically
Speaker 1: next on the chopping block, which is absolutely so sad
Speaker 1: that they tried so hard to beat Take two to
Speaker 1: outbidding them by like five hundred million dollars, right, and
Speaker 1: then what are they gonna have left f one because
Speaker 1: everything else they've absolutely taken down from what Code Masters
Speaker 1: used to make. You know, Nacon just took over the
Speaker 1: WRC rights again because they let go of those, even
Speaker 1: though I mean, look they're not huge or whatever, but
Speaker 1: it's like all the other games I think we talked
Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago. It's like they're
Speaker 1: just not being made by them, and it's like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, why why bother buy why bother buying
Speaker 2: Code Masters? If A're gonna let them do what they
Speaker 2: what they're good at, or you know, right, like I'm
Speaker 2: you know, Dirt five wasn't great, or like I think
Speaker 2: the last Dirt game wasn't Their last few have not
Speaker 2: been like stellar, but like it's still a pretty venerable
Speaker 2: franchise and it offers no one else does. And it's
Speaker 2: not the biggest success, but they sell. They sell when
Speaker 2: enough money's put behind it.
Speaker 1: So I think it's just EA can't deal with having
Speaker 1: modest success outside of their something that comes out on
Speaker 1: their indie lie like it has to be. And even then,
Speaker 1: I mean the the Joseph Fair stuff is on it,
Speaker 1: it's on it's own island because the other things that
Speaker 1: come out of that any label do not do anything
Speaker 1: compared to what you know, Split Fiction or it Takes
Speaker 1: two have done. So I mean Lost and Random came out.
Speaker 1: I think no one really talked about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I forgot what the what's that that Monster Hunter like
Speaker 1: game that came out and it's just like absolutely, uh gone,
Speaker 1: never heard of it again.
Speaker 2: Three weeks until yeah.
Speaker 1: Till something else came out that people just absolutely gravitated to.
Speaker 1: That wasn't that? And they had one last year that
Speaker 1: I can't remember what the name is right now, but
Speaker 1: I meant, well, that's that spaces is Motive, you know.
Speaker 2: So it's like.
Speaker 1: It's just all of it is just like it's e
Speaker 1: A doing a lot of what activisties. At least EA
Speaker 1: has other games unlike Activision where it's like all call
Speaker 1: of Duty, right, and they had the Tails of Zarazoo,
Speaker 1: which did.
Speaker 2: You know Now they got Tony hark Tree for coming
Speaker 2: out like a few months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, okay, Tony Hawk and then Call of Duty
Speaker 1: and then what else are they doing?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: You got what Blizard's doing over there, and.
Speaker 2: They're going to bring that back, you know. Uh.
Speaker 1: Even though towards Sir Bob is rumored to be working
Speaker 1: on a spiral for right, they're not technically part of
Speaker 1: Activision anymore. So, Yeah, and there's always the rumor of
Speaker 1: they're supposedly working on a guitar hero somewhere, but no,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it kind of sucks because it's
Speaker 1: like everybody has to do known franchises unfortunately, and it's
Speaker 1: like if those don't hit, then you got a problem.
Speaker 1: And EA is just one that just that's what they
Speaker 1: stick to even more so now they're just gonna close
Speaker 1: shop and that's what we're doing. And and it kind
Speaker 1: of sucks to see for for these games that could have.
Speaker 2: Been something, right.
Speaker 1: Uh, speaking of layoffs, more layoffs this time on an
Speaker 1: indie capacity is Playtonic, the people that make you know,
Speaker 1: ukulele you can replay, they had to let go of
Speaker 1: staff as well. Uh sadly, I mean they're they're right
Speaker 1: now making that that remaster is about to come out
Speaker 1: not too long for now. Uh. And then they have
Speaker 1: that indie label that they've actually released like Little Gator
Speaker 1: Game on and Demon Turf, So uh sucks to see
Speaker 1: that as well for them, Like you know, I hope
Speaker 1: things hopeful. People can find a job quickly and get
Speaker 1: on their feet, you know. But aside from layoffs here,
Speaker 1: let's uh, the other part of what's happening this week
Speaker 1: is Summer Game Fest, right, so here comes some reveals
Speaker 1: and things that maybe you're gonna happen. One that I
Speaker 1: know you're maybe excited about PERSONA four remake.
Speaker 2: I would be, except like jedising all the whole the
Speaker 2: original cast.
Speaker 1: Do you think that that's them like just kind of
Speaker 1: trying to throw people off the scent and they are
Speaker 1: actually going to be voice acting, and it'sist them trying
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, there's no game going on here
Speaker 1: they as well, yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 2: But I think it's I think it's twofold. I think
Speaker 2: that sag asters strike is still an effect for vide
Speaker 2: game ship, like, yeah, you can get like or you know,
Speaker 2: dispensation if you'll follow the rules. But I could see
Speaker 2: Alice not caring about that crap.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could also see Alice trying to save
Speaker 1: some money because I imagine that paying.
Speaker 2: Well, that's their thing. It's like, I mean some of
Speaker 2: those people that they're uh profile have grown, you know,
Speaker 2: like you're a Lolentthal for example, Like, but I don't
Speaker 2: think he'd be asking like an outrageous amount and he's
Speaker 2: a good actor and I think like him, And I
Speaker 2: think Aaron Fitzgerald is the other the girl voicing Ga,
Speaker 2: like they make those characters memorable. Yeah, and them hiring
Speaker 2: you know, Joe Schmoe off the streets kind of what
Speaker 2: they did with like you know, Persona three, which, hey,
Speaker 2: like the remake cast wasn't terrible. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: like attack them, but like that wasn't quite what you
Speaker 2: know from Persona three, So you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, it's just interesting that like they just flat
Speaker 1: out or like, oh they didn't want me back. They
Speaker 1: told me they didn't, and it's like, it's.
Speaker 2: Not it's like, oh, they offered us too low money
Speaker 2: or yeah, I mean if they if you're a loan though,
Speaker 2: it's been like, oh, they only ask me fifty bucks
Speaker 2: for this role again, and I said, fuck you, like
Speaker 2: that'd been different, But yeah, I came going, I didn't
Speaker 2: want me back, So we're going to hire in some
Speaker 2: like high school you know, drama student to voice this
Speaker 2: character instead or something.
Speaker 1: But it's it just makes too much sense if you're
Speaker 1: gonna go. And I understand that three had the issue
Speaker 1: of like it's not you don't have the best version
Speaker 1: or whatever, it's do you have a lot of things
Speaker 1: locked up around other, you know, between like three different games.
Speaker 1: And obviously there's still the the fems, the female protagonist
Speaker 1: that was never put in there and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But right, it kind of just makes my sense, like
Speaker 1: if you're why not just go with the other modern
Speaker 1: Persona and remaster it too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: You think that gets announced the summer game post?
Speaker 2: Do you think that's a Yeah, probably, I mean probably
Speaker 2: the animated movie or they'll show some quick trailer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I just think that. You know, look, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of love on people that love Persona three.
Speaker 1: It was the first Persona and all that stuff, but
Speaker 1: so many people got into it four, and like you're
Speaker 1: gonna go and remake three and then you're not going
Speaker 1: to remake four? Just feels like that's like a no brainer,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: So, I mean I'm annoyed by the Forrest casting, like
Speaker 2: they have the cast for in the past, because I
Speaker 2: think Troy Baker used to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, Troy Baker, everybody's bena waiting to see
Speaker 1: if he would make a comment about it too.
Speaker 2: Well, he rapt like pretty early on. I think he
Speaker 2: only did like the PST game and he kind of
Speaker 2: split after that. But like he's a dude very much
Speaker 2: in demand, like I could see him. And also he's
Speaker 2: not like super attached to characters. It seems like, you know,
Speaker 2: for him, it does seem more like mercenary mercenary or
Speaker 2: you know, you just show up and do the job
Speaker 2: and that's about it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like that high profile like him of course.
Speaker 2: But like you'ing loan Thalt like he, I I get
Speaker 2: the I mean he does a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of like work like that as well. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: but he seems more attached like his bigger characters, which
Speaker 2: he should be like they you know, if they recast
Speaker 2: Spider Man, that would be weird.
Speaker 1: I think there's be a lot of complaining if you recast.
Speaker 1: They already had enough with him getting re made visually,
Speaker 1: so I imagine if they changed the voice.
Speaker 2: Honestly though, what they should be doing, Uh, I think
Speaker 2: they should remake like Persona one and two. I mean
Speaker 2: if yeah, if they rem make four, I would remaking
Speaker 2: four as fine if they kept the original actors as
Speaker 2: much as they can, or they just too like a
Speaker 2: quick update. But like one and two are some pretty
Speaker 2: different games. Uh. There's been that.
Speaker 1: Rumor for a long time, right, Uh, you know that
Speaker 1: they they were doing a remaster of one and two.
Speaker 1: It's just like a matter of them like finding the
Speaker 1: right time to announce it. Obviously we don't know who
Speaker 1: what team's working on it or whatever, but it's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: some people complain about that being the loss Persona games
Speaker 1: that nobody gives.
Speaker 2: The two, especially the guy uh two is like split
Speaker 2: up into two different games. Yeah, exactly, and only when
Speaker 2: came out in America and everyone is still pissed about that.
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, uh, translation work back then costs a
Speaker 2: lot more money.
Speaker 1: Right exactly. Yeah, and a lot of words, a lot
Speaker 1: of words that you're having to translate there.
Speaker 2: So I mean I would do, but I'm gonna listen
Speaker 2: to me. And so looks young is some some character
Speaker 2: in Persona four and be born as ship?
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. But there's there's more as far as
Speaker 1: announcements go, as the well they teased it at the
Speaker 1: switch to announcement, but I Interactive have now given the
Speaker 1: what's gonna be the full name for that Double oh
Speaker 1: seven game? Ah, and they are. It's basically letting you
Speaker 1: know that that's gonna be a review at Summer Game Fest.
Speaker 1: Pretty much is it's gonna be called first Light, uh
Speaker 1: Double seven first Light, And we'll get more on the
Speaker 1: game during Summer Game Fest. So that's cool. I've been
Speaker 1: wanting to see this for a while now, So you.
Speaker 2: Get Neon Powers Infamous.
Speaker 1: H I had imagine, right, and it would not be.
Speaker 2: To me, Like I don't I like the idea of
Speaker 2: any goal in that game, especially that's one that's gonna
Speaker 2: be at more stealthy and not just right, you know,
Speaker 2: pick up the K three seven or KF seven Soviet
Speaker 2: and blast everyone. But yeah, right, I really bounced off
Speaker 2: hard of all all those Hitman games. So we'll see
Speaker 2: if I feel like it or not.
Speaker 1: I'd imagine they have to walk that line a little
Speaker 1: bit more on this one. Make it too stealthy. I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna knock people out of it that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I also imagine, well it'll be I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: be have as much goofy shit I can have, like
Speaker 2: the rubber ducky bomb or anything like that. But I imagine
Speaker 2: it'll also be a lot more like story focused, because
Speaker 2: like James, Bond is supposed to be like charismatic and
Speaker 2: suave and not like a blank slate like Age and
Speaker 2: forty seven.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, well, we'll see how that goes. I hope
Speaker 1: it's it's fun and it yeah, just don't be super
Speaker 1: stealthy to the point where it's like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm going to play that, right, Yeah, you still
Speaker 1: got to have some of the you know, shooting aspect
Speaker 1: that people love from Golden Eyes, So yeah, how they
Speaker 1: walk that line is going to be interesting. Ay, an
Speaker 1: announcement from score Enix. Two games that we're supposed to
Speaker 1: come out at the beginning of this year originally, and
Speaker 1: now Dragon Quest one and two HD TD are coming
Speaker 1: out October thirtieth, So basically you might as well have
Speaker 1: said Fall twenty twenty five square right, so by then,
Speaker 1: who knows what's out? Am I going to really care
Speaker 1: about it that much? I'll probably still support if I
Speaker 1: don't want up reviewing it for some reason. It is
Speaker 1: going to be a game key card on switch to those,
Speaker 1: so you know, you guys that are complaining about those
Speaker 1: game key cards key complaining away. I guess it is
Speaker 1: also going to come out on a regular switch as
Speaker 1: well if you want to just play it there, and
Speaker 1: they have a special collective t edition you can go
Speaker 1: by if you want to if you're that much of
Speaker 1: a Dragon Quest fan. Yeah, so let's get into a
Speaker 1: few switch to things here before we get into the
Speaker 1: actual like predictions stuff, Pokemon Presents along with Pokemon Za
Speaker 1: get release dates. So Pokemon ZA now at our za,
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're what they're officially calling it
Speaker 1: releases October sixteenth, of course, that is switch one and
Speaker 1: switch to and you can do the whole switch to
Speaker 1: upgrade and that's all that junk. You can start pre
Speaker 1: ordering the game on June fifth, when the switch to releases,
Speaker 1: and they're also going to do Pokemon Presents on July
Speaker 1: twenty seconds. Lots of rumors going around that they're going
Speaker 1: to to announce Pokemon Gen ten at some point here
Speaker 1: because next year is the thirtieth anniversary of Pokemon.
Speaker 2: Of course that's when it just kill if all the
Speaker 2: other generations goes on again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then of course there was any people lined
Speaker 1: up at game stops uh to get the new Pokemon cards,
Speaker 1: because that is game stop strategy. Now they are pivoting
Speaker 1: to buying and selling training cards, not just training card
Speaker 1: but also like sports cards and everything.
Speaker 2: So well then buying bitcoin, well that probably won't why
Speaker 2: bother up creating the stores?
Speaker 1: You know, you know what, I will give game stop
Speaker 1: credit for at least realizing when they have something and like, dude,
Speaker 1: if it's if it's only like six more months that
Speaker 1: you get to live at least, they're like pivoting quickly
Speaker 1: and not just oh, we're just going to keep doing
Speaker 1: the same thing. Under given credit for that, even though
Speaker 1: it is obviously the corporation that's just trying to get
Speaker 1: the the corporation more money as much as fos.
Speaker 2: You just said the problem and you didn't realize that
Speaker 2: it's the fact that keep pivoting and keep changing a
Speaker 2: very simple idea that they're family. If it has sold
Speaker 2: game ship, it'd be fine.
Speaker 1: The thing is, you can go anywhere to buy games ship. Now.
Speaker 1: People just buy the ship online. You don't need to go.
Speaker 2: To That's why you have to make the experience actually good.
Speaker 2: If they had like a good customer service or a
Speaker 2: nice store, that would help, or that would get people
Speaker 2: in the in the store.
Speaker 1: Not I do wonder if that their idea that they had,
Speaker 1: like right afore the pandemic hit, which was to turn
Speaker 1: it into a oh, you can come here and play
Speaker 1: Dungeons and Dragons, or you can come here and like
Speaker 1: play game play old games. Yeah, like that actually felt
Speaker 1: like it could have gone on somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never did anything or retro store. It's like
Speaker 2: it's like an embarrassment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but hey, you know what Nintendo. You know,
Speaker 1: Nintendo introduced that the game chat is one of the
Speaker 1: big features of the switch to another thing that you know,
Speaker 1: we've had for years on the Xbox and PlayStation side,
Speaker 1: And I just had to experience that when I was
Speaker 1: doing the review for and I stayed for Fishing, which
Speaker 1: has this terrible system to try to get pictures off
Speaker 1: of it where you have to do like connect to
Speaker 1: a server and then you know, scan it on your
Speaker 1: phone to get it to show up on your phone
Speaker 1: so then you can download them to your phone to
Speaker 1: then you can then email them to yourself to put
Speaker 1: them into the CMS for your website or whatever it
Speaker 1: is you need to do. And it's like a very
Speaker 1: just it feels like process right that shouldn't exist anymore,
Speaker 1: whereas Xbox and PlayStation have the you just put it
Speaker 1: on the it's on the app, and then you just
Speaker 1: download it to your phone or whatever email to yourself
Speaker 1: and there you go. WHI lah, you don't have this
Speaker 1: like two extra steps you gotta do. Not to mention
Speaker 1: they're doing. Uh. The they have these short clips that
Speaker 1: they keep putting on the Nintendo Today app and then
Speaker 1: obviously putting them on social media, and they're blocking Peel
Speaker 1: from actually taking video of that, uh because I guess
Speaker 1: I don't want you to put that on your YouTube
Speaker 1: channel or whatever, all right, which is also like silly,
Speaker 1: like who cares? This is free promotion for your game.
Speaker 1: Nintendo's just so like stuck on that, so bad about like, no,
Speaker 1: you cannot use our video footage though, and if it's
Speaker 1: gonna if you're gonna use it, it's a terrible quality,
Speaker 1: by the way, so like you can't really see how
Speaker 1: great you know, this actually could look like they they
Speaker 1: showed a video of like Pokemon looks running at sixty
Speaker 1: fps finally, and it's like, oh, this is such bad quality.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I can see that it moves better
Speaker 1: because it's sixty fps, but it's like, you know, you
Speaker 1: could have done this better, and it's yeah, like you're
Speaker 1: trying to sell people on why I should come back
Speaker 1: to play the Scarlet and Violet that were so screwed
Speaker 1: up in the first place. You're not doing the best
Speaker 1: shob of that, to be honest, but regardless. You can
Speaker 1: now use the switch app.
Speaker 2: Too.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be able to take photos off your system,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think it holds the last one hundred
Speaker 1: captures that you took and also videos and you can
Speaker 1: just take them off the app like you know the
Speaker 1: other two do.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Bravo Nintendo for finally once again adapting to the times
Speaker 1: and doing that. Look, I know not everybody uses this
Speaker 1: stuff and it doesn't matter, but the people that do
Speaker 1: it is just kind of really annoying. Right, and I'll
Speaker 1: do the Summer game Fest thing at the end. Let's
Speaker 1: uh go ahead and talk about switch to here. You
Speaker 1: said that you don't you have a friend that has
Speaker 1: a pre order with game Stop, so you don't know.
Speaker 2: But I don't want. I want to Mario one because
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's not gonna pay eighty bucks for that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely understand that for sure. Eight eighty bucks
Speaker 1: for Mario Kart.
Speaker 2: Then I got to figure how to pay him because
Speaker 2: I'll probably go through like a firm or something, and right,
Speaker 2: how do I get get cash to him? Or do
Speaker 2: I don't know, if you use this PayPal or what.
Speaker 2: That'll be more interesting to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely that hopefully you get it so we can
Speaker 1: we can talk about it. So you're just only gonna
Speaker 1: be getting Mario Kart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would Donkey Kong, but the reviews will really
Speaker 2: depend on that one. And yeah, everything else, that thing
Speaker 2: I don't care about.
Speaker 1: Me personally, I will probably unless the reviews are like
Speaker 1: really bad for it, which I don't think they would
Speaker 1: be because it's the same game, just remastered the Bravely
Speaker 1: Default Find Fairy HD remaster. I will probably get that
Speaker 1: at some point, especially if it goes on a sale.
Speaker 1: But I'm happy the Screenix priced it accordingly. They priced
Speaker 1: it like a three DS game. It's forty bucks. They
Speaker 1: did not try to give it a switch tax and
Speaker 1: price it at like sixty or something, so that gives
Speaker 1: me enthusiasm for actually like trying to support it. I'm
Speaker 1: the I might also get the other two chaps. May
Speaker 1: get also Delta Rune at some point because I never
Speaker 1: played the first two chats the other and and I
Speaker 1: know for sure I'm probably gonna wind up reviewing Fast Fusion.
Speaker 1: That's that f zero game that's made by the people
Speaker 1: that made the Fast RMX game that was the launch
Speaker 1: game for the Switch one. So cool that they have
Speaker 1: come back to the launch of Switch to uh and
Speaker 1: for sure I'm getting more Car World.
Speaker 2: So they keep trying to make new like ah Extreme
Speaker 2: G or F zero knockoffs and they never work.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Yeah, I mean you're right about that. Most
Speaker 1: of them are kind of just like really shallow and
Speaker 1: I forget really.
Speaker 2: Quick the two on PS four Uh, I forget the
Speaker 2: name of it, but the one had like once you
Speaker 2: got like halfway through or even like a third of
Speaker 2: the way through the racing, uh progression, like you couldn't
Speaker 2: win because the AI was just brutally difficult, but you
Speaker 2: could not I get like catch it down. It's like
Speaker 2: didn't you play beforehand? Like no one, no one raise
Speaker 2: her hand and go, hey, this is a problem too.
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I reviewed the Gravity Chase one that
Speaker 1: came out a few years ago that was pretty decent,
Speaker 1: but also again like pretty shallow. So yeah, but just
Speaker 1: uh to go through this rather quickly. What is going
Speaker 1: to be available at launch? You know you mentioned Donkey Kong.
Speaker 1: I'm also kind of like, for sure, Donkey Kong. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it as far as like that might be
Speaker 1: my next big game to check out, like one that
Speaker 1: if the reviews are really good, I might drop the
Speaker 1: money on Well. See, I just imagine Nintendo's got to
Speaker 1: do something in this month to kind of get us
Speaker 1: to there, because we know that there's games coming, Like
Speaker 1: we don't know when Metroit Prime for Beyond is coming yet.
Speaker 1: We do know, you know, Pokemon's coming in October, but
Speaker 1: there's got to be some stuff in between there. But look,
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that's coming as ports of
Speaker 1: stuff that you've already probably already played at this point,
Speaker 1: like Canitsu Going Path to the Goddess is on game Pass,
Speaker 1: so you can go play that right now, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm sure hard Worth's legacy mostly all played that Hitman
Speaker 1: World of Assassination. You've played that, right, or if you haven't,
Speaker 1: you can get it much cheaper somewhere else. Fantasy Life either,
Speaker 1: Girl who Steals Time is actually probably pretty good, supposedly,
Speaker 1: and that's new. So that's coming with Switch to Cyberpunk
Speaker 1: twenty seventy seven, at least that's the ultimate edition.
Speaker 2: So that's new.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you could definitely get that cheaper in other places.
Speaker 1: But if you only have a Switch too, I guess
Speaker 1: it's not too bad, right, But yeah, like the long
Speaker 1: slide if it's definitely not anything the rite home about.
Speaker 1: And I do get people's kind of lack of enthusiasm
Speaker 1: for that, Like I can see where people are going,
Speaker 1: I'm not running to buy this thing day one because
Speaker 1: outside of Mario Kart, you know, there's not a whole
Speaker 1: lot there. And I know what's.
Speaker 2: Gonna yeah called antipathy, Like yeah, no one can.
Speaker 1: Like, man, maybe if I get to play with you
Speaker 1: or obviously getting to play with Anaya Mario Kart World,
Speaker 1: you know, that'll be fun for a little bit, but
Speaker 1: eventually I get kind of tired of Mario Kart World
Speaker 1: and that it just kind of come the same thing
Speaker 1: we have Mario Kart eight. Like, Okay, I have it.
Speaker 1: I reviewed that game and all that, but I played
Speaker 1: it and then okay, came back to it here and there,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't something that I know. I know there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that do come that's the party game, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's the game that they play with their friends
Speaker 1: when the friends come over and stuff like that. And
Speaker 1: I and if it is for you, I think that's great.
Speaker 1: But I do kind of agree with the symptom of
Speaker 1: Mario Kart is that game that you get when you
Speaker 1: don't have anything else to get with the system. It's
Speaker 1: usually not like I think it's a great like packing game,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's gonna be a game
Speaker 1: that Like I wonder if it's gonna sell the same
Speaker 1: amount or close to the amount of like mark Our Deluxe,
Speaker 1: right a Deluxe. Like it's not like peop would just
Speaker 1: all of a sudden stop playing that game. Like I
Speaker 1: wonder if there's a little bit of a Mario Kart
Speaker 1: fatigue that's gonna set in and go, oh, you know
Speaker 1: you started with this, I'm still playing eight you.
Speaker 2: Know, like well, uh, you know you know that you do?
Speaker 2: Is I just slip out the mark it's marik Kart
Speaker 2: eight server. Yeah, we got something for you. It's called
Speaker 2: mariork Karte World. Go play it.
Speaker 1: There's that twist welcome tour, which you know, I hope
Speaker 1: you're not spending the ten bucks on that thing.
Speaker 2: Really, how how quickly do you think that thing goes
Speaker 2: just for free?
Speaker 1: I would imagine we don't get past like the end
Speaker 1: of the year, Yeah, and that thing goes to free
Speaker 1: because you know, like how neweople are they going to
Speaker 1: be buying that thing, right, I can see split fiction
Speaker 1: doing really well because you already have the two controllers.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, and same thing with that street Fighter. That
Speaker 1: could be something that does really well as well because
Speaker 1: you could play with your friend right there, but having
Speaker 1: to buy another controller.
Speaker 2: Slitch Fiction I can see because like you don't like
Speaker 2: it's not like a precision game, and it doesn't have
Speaker 2: a lot of buttons. Who cares? But right now the
Speaker 2: joy Kines yourself had that fucked layout, so that's gonna
Speaker 2: be a disaster.
Speaker 1: And you also got the you know, GameCube, but Switch
Speaker 1: online as well, which, hey, they are bringing three really
Speaker 1: good games off the bat, you know, so Calibra two
Speaker 1: with Link zero g X and and win Waker. So
Speaker 1: is there a game that you want them to bring?
Speaker 1: The game to the GameCube classics that would get you
Speaker 1: to put down the money. Let's say, if.
Speaker 2: They Twins Snakes, you.
Speaker 1: Think Konami would let them do it? No, because they're
Speaker 1: My issue is like they are. They do not like
Speaker 1: to have to to put a game after service at all, So.
Speaker 2: I don't like that game in the first place. So
Speaker 2: I know Kojima didn't. I mean maybe they they're they're
Speaker 2: who cares but that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it obviously depends on if they're gonna
Speaker 1: get some kind of port of the Metal Girts saw
Speaker 1: at three, like remake or whatever. I could see them
Speaker 1: doing that as a way to kind of like, hey,
Speaker 1: here's here's twins.
Speaker 2: I think already announced cheap your robot or they showed
Speaker 2: you like, yeah they did, That's that's cool.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I think it's now. I think it's funny that whenever
Speaker 2: all these collections come out, you know the old games
Speaker 2: crater and price.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah of course, because you know you can just
Speaker 1: go subscribe to that thing and play it all you want.
Speaker 1: You don't need the Yeah.
Speaker 2: So like for for years I wanted a Project Justice,
Speaker 2: and now that Capcom Fighting collection came out, like the
Speaker 2: Dreamcast price is like it's not like super low, right,
Speaker 2: it's been knowing nown.
Speaker 1: As that should be that That's the good thing about
Speaker 1: when they do these remastersses, Like the people that are
Speaker 1: like really overdoing it on the reselling or suffer on
Speaker 1: that too.
Speaker 2: So I went to a game store today I found
Speaker 2: this game Start had a still sealed copy of sweak
Speaker 2: it into mhm oh nice for.
Speaker 1: Wow. I don't know about that now you can just
Speaker 1: go get it for you can get two games for
Speaker 1: fifty bucks or whatever. Yeah, but uh, all right, let's
Speaker 1: let's go and do a crystal ball of what are
Speaker 1: we doing six or not? Not us particularly. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if we're gonna be still, you know, just
Speaker 1: to be just to be fair about like you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be hitting uh what like forty five, you know,
Speaker 1: in the in the middle forties when we're talking about
Speaker 1: possibly a Switch three. So let's say we're talking about
Speaker 1: six seven years from now. What do you think Do
Speaker 1: you think Switch too we'll be able to match Switch
Speaker 1: one as far as sales and and longevity, or you
Speaker 1: think it's gonna people are gonna kind of get worn
Speaker 1: out with the.
Speaker 2: I you know, I think it all depend on like
Speaker 2: Nintendo's lineup. If it's just kind of more of the same,
Speaker 2: I mean, it'll still do fine, but it won't be
Speaker 2: as good as Switch one.
Speaker 1: It's always hard to capture that magic twice, right. I
Speaker 1: don't think it will, to be quite honest, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna. It's real people that are saying it's
Speaker 1: gonna be the WEU or just that you're just totally
Speaker 1: off on that one.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know I can actually see some of that,
Speaker 2: like logic, it's gonna be as dire as the WE two,
Speaker 2: I mean the WEU. But it doesn't have an original name.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have much to distinguish it from the original
Speaker 2: you know, switch one. And I think like most people
Speaker 2: are just going like, hey, look it looks better. That's
Speaker 2: not that's not really enough, Like you gotta like make
Speaker 2: something really unique for this thing, and you know, I
Speaker 2: don't think. I think the unique sets they've shown has
Speaker 2: been incredibly lackluster so far.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the game chat thing is is.
Speaker 2: What it is. That's gonna be like rewritten like three
Speaker 2: or four times at least over the white span of
Speaker 2: this thing, because what they showed already looked bad, so
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to keep trying to fix it.
Speaker 1: I did like Cody, good to see you here, Thank
Speaker 1: you for.
Speaker 2: I did like the Kataku I think article about like
Speaker 2: why doesn't this thing of a camera built into it,
Speaker 2: like like this is a system that should and you
Speaker 2: guys don't you.
Speaker 1: Know Yeah, I mean again it's it's about cost, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, build a camera into that thing?
Speaker 2: How much no, I don't say. I don't mean a
Speaker 2: good camera, but you know, a fucking fifty dollars you know,
Speaker 2: ce phone.
Speaker 1: Okay, but you're going to put that on to the consumers,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna at least charge in twenty five bucks
Speaker 1: more for it. Nah, they won't do that. It's Nintendo. Man.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna eat most of putting a camera on
Speaker 1: a system. They're going to charge you.
Speaker 2: Did you see how much, like the rumor of the
Speaker 2: components cost.
Speaker 1: No, I did not see what it costs, but I
Speaker 1: imagine that you know, it doesn't cost what. They're not
Speaker 1: eating that much of the costs. I don't think no.
Speaker 2: The rumored like price cost or the I mean, they
Speaker 2: came out and said it wasn't this, so that kind
Speaker 2: of would mean it probably is, because they wouldn't respond
Speaker 2: if it wasn't. But I think that the rumor was
Speaker 2: it gets like a hundred bucks with the parts.
Speaker 1: Which I mean, okay, the original special three hundred bucks,
Speaker 1: and they charge you four hundred and then they put
Speaker 1: a inflation plus Nintendo tax on it for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: But then you add another thing on it they're going
Speaker 1: to charge. They're charging fifty bucks to buy the camera outright,
Speaker 1: So imagine if they would have stuck it on the system.
Speaker 2: That we the switch has a camera.
Speaker 1: It does, but you know it's not I'm not.
Speaker 2: Saying it has to be good and it can. It
Speaker 2: mean some four K camera, but come on, like it's
Speaker 2: literally like they're trying to make this chat or this
Speaker 2: social bullshit matter and it takes you know, how are
Speaker 2: you gonna carry the camera around with you if you
Speaker 2: go out like they're vaunted?
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, they're not gonna.
Speaker 2: They're not.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do street pass again with.
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna bust out the Piranha camera and
Speaker 2: put it on the table and be like, I'm cool
Speaker 2: going Not that thing is terrible.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get like, you're not gonna have any memories
Speaker 1: for that thing. You're not gonna be able to see
Speaker 1: what's going on with that parana plan camera. But no,
Speaker 1: I okay, I'm gonna say, well, we're at like what
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty plus million right now. I don't
Speaker 1: think it gets anywhere near that because you also had
Speaker 1: the pandemic to factor in, right, you know, and your
Speaker 1: ripe priotors are doing great right now. I think it
Speaker 1: obviously depends. Like you said, it's all about what does
Speaker 1: Nintendo do after lunch? Right the one the great thing
Speaker 1: about the first year of the Switch was like it
Speaker 1: was like banger Banger, Banger game, Banger game, and you
Speaker 1: had something every month that somebody could really look forward to,
Speaker 1: whether it was your bag or not. They had a
Speaker 1: big release, right, so that helped. Can they you know,
Speaker 1: push that forward? Will that whatever, whether it's June, July,
Speaker 1: August direct, will that help kind of push the rest
Speaker 1: of it? Or is it really gonna be whenever it
Speaker 1: is that they announced Metro Prime for is going to release,
Speaker 1: and then Donkey Kong and Pokemon and that's it and
Speaker 1: then they kind of move on the next year. We'll
Speaker 1: have to see. I definitely think I'm gonna put it
Speaker 1: at one hundred million. I definitely think the pandemic made
Speaker 1: parents buy multiple switches because they didn't want to have
Speaker 1: to be sharing between their kids. That was the only
Speaker 1: thing you could do. Think about it, like you're stuck
Speaker 1: in the house, so like everybody's playing a Swiss, Like
Speaker 1: you don't want to have to be tugging between your
Speaker 1: two kids or yourself playing a game, like there was
Speaker 1: multiple switches bought because of the pandemic, right right, same
Speaker 1: thing like Animal Crossing is a huge franchise, is a
Speaker 1: huge game. But let's let's not kid ourselves. Animal Crossing
Speaker 1: New Horizons would not have sold or New Leave or whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, whatever the Animal Crossing game was would not
Speaker 1: have sold that much money or that much without it
Speaker 1: being So I do think that there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of of that that's going to go down because it's
Speaker 1: a familiar thing. Like you said, people know what this
Speaker 1: is now, right, and you're starting off with a very
Speaker 1: familiar thing in Mario Kart, like you see it, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna go okay, So why do I need to
Speaker 1: go from switch to right now?
Speaker 2: I actually look at Mario Kart as far more experimental
Speaker 2: or far more you know, higher reaching than a lot
Speaker 2: of this other crap like that they're inevitably going to announce.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean to be fair, like Pokemon Za is
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit more you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: a little bit different than you know, the regular Pokemon games,
Speaker 1: so they're kind of putting more of that RCUs into
Speaker 1: it than what you would get from like a scarlet
Speaker 1: of Violet. So they're pushing it a little bit there,
Speaker 1: I'm sure prime for we'll have to see hopefully that's,
Speaker 1: you know, an amazing metroid. The interesting thing is to
Speaker 1: me is going to be like, what do you do
Speaker 1: with Zelda? Because are they I mean, I think they've
Speaker 1: said that they're not going to do Brought to the
Speaker 1: Wild three right or whatever? So like can you capture
Speaker 1: that magic again?
Speaker 2: They're gonna put it back in the train sparait tracks too,
Speaker 2: let's go now, I I for Zelda. I see them
Speaker 2: a whole new system or a whole new you know, world,
Speaker 2: or a whole new like idea for.
Speaker 1: I. I do hope it's different, Like I could see
Speaker 1: them using that system, but maybe putting in a different
Speaker 1: part of High Rule, you know, not not necessarily the
Speaker 1: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Again, I can reuse the saying map for a third time, yeah.
Speaker 1: Please, but saying that, what do you think is gonna be? Okay,
Speaker 1: They're they're pushing Donkey Kong, right, we have the whole
Speaker 1: thing with the you know, they have that Super Mario
Speaker 1: World thing at Universal Studios now where obviously they can
Speaker 1: continue to put different franchises in there. They had the
Speaker 1: movies now, right, what do you think is gonna be?
Speaker 1: You know, you can kind of make a case that
Speaker 1: when you look back at the eight years of Switch,
Speaker 1: when you talk about the outstanding high level game, it
Speaker 1: is still one of those two Zelda's for a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Right, but Mario honesty probably being in right
Speaker 1: around there or whatever. Do you think Mario is able
Speaker 1: to take that crown back and switch to or do
Speaker 1: you think do you think there's another franchise that can
Speaker 1: step up? And that's that's the game that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: When we're talking about the end of the Switch too.
Speaker 3: It'll be Arms too, Arms if they even have that
Speaker 3: come out or.
Speaker 2: No, they're they're attaching Arms one and for some ungodly reason.
Speaker 1: Well that's the you know, that's that's the team that's
Speaker 1: doing you know, Dragon Drive, so right, I mean, which
Speaker 1: we'll see that's another thing of like, well the mouse
Speaker 1: control is actually be something that people continue to use
Speaker 1: throughout the systems lifespan, Like I wonder, yeah.
Speaker 2: I see that, I'm never going to use it. I
Speaker 2: see you using that like once or twice just to
Speaker 2: try it.
Speaker 1: And then you go on, I'll definitely try I'll metro
Speaker 1: prime for I'll tell you that much. I want to
Speaker 1: see how good it is.
Speaker 2: But it'll be it'll be quickly forgotten.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's definitely going to have more life
Speaker 1: to it because there's so many games that they can
Speaker 1: have come out with it that can use it. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not like, uh, you know three D was for
Speaker 1: the three D s or the Lavo stuff or Switch one.
Speaker 2: That's the real thing. It'll be a lambo too, and
Speaker 2: they redesign all that crap.
Speaker 1: But oh for me, like, I really do think that,
Speaker 1: you know, Mario had a lot of hits. I really
Speaker 1: want to see what they're gonna do with this Mario
Speaker 1: because they knocked out of the park with Odyssey really
Speaker 1: and it's like, how do they top that and if
Speaker 1: they can somehow top that, And then they had Wonder
Speaker 1: come out, which was amazing for the two D Mario games.
Speaker 1: After the New Super Mario Brothers kind of felt like
Speaker 1: old hat after a while, Right. I definitely think that
Speaker 1: Mario is gonna be the the game we're talking about,
Speaker 1: like the franchise we're talking about as the pillar of
Speaker 1: switch to when we get to.
Speaker 2: The end of it. I only would see that if
Speaker 2: it can actually make multiple Mario games like traditional or
Speaker 2: it not traditional three D Marrow games. Like I always
Speaker 2: thought it was weird that Mario Odyssey won them out
Speaker 2: very early on a switch lifespan and they didn't do
Speaker 2: ship with it after.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean that, well, that team supposed that
Speaker 1: team is the team that's making Dokey Kong right now,
Speaker 1: So right, we'll have to see if you know, for one,
Speaker 1: if that's true. And then did they siphon off part
Speaker 1: of that team to be working on three D Mario
Speaker 1: or right?
Speaker 2: I mean they didn't they did it do that like
Speaker 2: Bowser's faery thing, which was cool, Yeah, that was cool,
Speaker 2: but that was like I wouldn't say it's a prototype game,
Speaker 2: but it definitely was like smaller than you know, Odyssey.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I mean like you know, the we
Speaker 2: got we Galaxy Wanted two, and I know Galaxy two
Speaker 2: started off as like an expansion or whatever, but I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: why didn't Odyssey have that or what you know, why
Speaker 2: wasn't it Odyssey too or you know something similar to that. Hm.
Speaker 1: I mean, to be fair, they do only they only
Speaker 1: usually do like in the last well, I mean we
Speaker 1: got what the two Mario Galaxies, and we you never really.
Speaker 2: Had a chance to I had had threty World.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's that, I guess. But you know, like
Speaker 1: I I hope the Nintendo keeps like pushing their franchises
Speaker 1: forward and and we get some of the franchises like
Speaker 1: come Back that haven't had a game in a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like star Fox.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like will they take the opportunity to make Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Will they take the opportunity to make a new f Zero?
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, hey, make an open world Star
Speaker 2: Fox game. They'd be cool.
Speaker 1: But I mean he's got to be in the ship
Speaker 1: most of the time.
Speaker 2: I yeah, I don't. I don't mean him you know,
Speaker 2: running around like that fucking dinosaur playing a game. I
Speaker 2: mean yeah, like you know, give it to the No
Speaker 2: Man's Sky team and you know, make just make a
Speaker 2: star fucks game.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do hope with like the infusion of the
Speaker 1: younger talent that they seem to be going towards now,
Speaker 1: like there's more ideas with that, and just give us
Speaker 1: something new with those franchises that we didn't think about,
Speaker 1: like give the the excuses they keep giving of like okay,
Speaker 1: well we have to have a reason to make an er,
Speaker 1: we have to have a reason to make a starfucks right,
Speaker 1: because they haven't sold that well.
Speaker 2: You know, the reason is, well, the reason is fans
Speaker 2: will like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you can get a surprise, like with
Speaker 1: Metroid dread right, where they didn't expect that game to
Speaker 1: do what it did, right, It sold bnkers numbers for Metroid.
Speaker 2: So you know, I mean, I know you really like
Speaker 2: this franchise, but I watched a video recently about like
Speaker 2: the worth selling Switch games that like, you know Nintendo makes. Ah,
Speaker 2: you know, they're not just crap, shovel work crap, but
Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, Nintendo put out and the
Speaker 2: guy basically said that he's surprised he knew players at
Speaker 2: the four games because of how little that franchise sells.
Speaker 1: Well. Three sold really well for what it wasn't and
Speaker 1: two sold really well. Actually, who is still the highest
Speaker 1: selling of all of them obviously helped the two came
Speaker 1: out in the launch year of the Switch, right, But
Speaker 1: I mean, to be fair, two of them are remasters
Speaker 1: or you know, remaster remakes. So that's really why they
Speaker 1: only have the fours because two so well enough to
Speaker 1: allow them to do Nober one because it makes sense,
Speaker 1: why would you not do the first one when they're
Speaker 1: all tied together in a story. And then that allowed
Speaker 1: three to happen because you wanted to have a continuation
Speaker 1: of two even though they're not really good too, right,
Speaker 1: there's just all kind of like high you know, high
Speaker 1: level continue you know connections. And then obviously it's not
Speaker 1: a Chronicles X because everybody kept asking for it. Everybody
Speaker 1: kept in like, okay, if you're gonna remake, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna do wi Uports, where's Chronicles X at? And that
Speaker 1: one apparently has not sold that great because they haven't
Speaker 1: talked about it hitting a million yet. Hopefully we switched
Speaker 1: to maybe it will hit that number. I would hope,
Speaker 1: But I really want to see what if there is
Speaker 1: gonna be this und a Blade for what they're gonna
Speaker 1: do with that supposing model of the stops doing a
Speaker 1: new a new game entirely that has something to do
Speaker 1: with Undablade, So let's see with that also, and they
Speaker 1: were really the secret weapon of the switch. Honestly, my
Speaker 1: Aino Solt helped with the two Zelda games, so you know,
Speaker 1: like that that's something that I want to see, Like
Speaker 1: what there any of these development studios. Like we kind
Speaker 1: of saw some neat things towards the end of the switch,
Speaker 1: Like nobody would have thought we had a Princess Peach
Speaker 1: game ever, and then we got one, you know, so,
Speaker 1: like I want to keep seeing things like that used
Speaker 1: characters that we haven't seen in a while get used.
Speaker 1: Like I like the fact that Sakara is coming back
Speaker 1: to do Cairby Air Riders, even though you know, maybe
Speaker 1: that's not an amazing selling game or whatever, but it's
Speaker 1: different at least. Do you have a franchise that you
Speaker 1: want to see them make a game for sure?
Speaker 2: Like, like I said, Star Fox, I think a new
Speaker 2: punch Out would be cool. Uh, Louie Ewan was all right,
Speaker 2: I think maybe fixing Vanetta would be alright? Hers Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't you know. I was appaly the Big Three?
Speaker 1: What do you think they do with What do you
Speaker 1: think they do with Smash?
Speaker 2: Ah? I would say that that needs a There's one
Speaker 2: of two ways to do it. The one is the
Speaker 2: easier one kind of, but it's the bad way. The
Speaker 2: easier way is just to put out Smash where there's
Speaker 2: Ultimate two or you know, like even more characters. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the bad way, because that roster is incredibly bloated
Speaker 2: and nonsensical. The better way, I would say, completely redesign
Speaker 2: the game, make it a more I wouldn't say serious,
Speaker 2: but I guess a deeper fighter fighting game. Scale back
Speaker 2: to roster, have like just twenty characters, twenty five maybe
Speaker 2: twenty five characters, and just do it that way.
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, like we don't need to
Speaker 1: go back to light and then so those sixty four
Speaker 1: days of just only having you know.
Speaker 2: I feel it. I actually like that one the most.
Speaker 2: Really I spend them. I mean it's not the most deep,
Speaker 2: Like I know everyone likes Melee, It's like everyone seems
Speaker 2: to be everyone's favorite. But yeah, I like the simplicity
Speaker 2: of a reasonal Fast Brothers and I thought that was
Speaker 2: the best, like well balanced. Yeah, like it didn't need
Speaker 2: to be like crazy like but.
Speaker 1: Part of the anticipation really is like is those those
Speaker 1: extra characters? Right? Like how insane was it that you
Speaker 1: finally got sore after all these years of asking?
Speaker 2: But like, okay, I don't mind some guest characters, like
Speaker 2: you know, Cloud is fun, but like do you really
Speaker 2: need like, you know, twelve fire them dudes running around No.
Speaker 1: But that was really a sacker. I had this thing
Speaker 1: with like swords characters, you know, so he he has
Speaker 1: this obsession with having and it's almost like it was
Speaker 1: like him kind of like trolling people. It felt like
Speaker 1: it sometimes, but like they're like, no, not another sword character,
Speaker 1: and here we go is another one.
Speaker 2: Right, just to throw it to you. Yeah, for like
Speaker 2: if I was gonna remake Smash or like, you know,
Speaker 2: if I was in charge, I would say the next game,
Speaker 2: no guest character is period, just has it be Nintendo
Speaker 2: crap and like mainline Nintendo's characters.
Speaker 1: I just don't think they could get away with that.
Speaker 1: I think the you could to start out. But that's
Speaker 1: part of what makes Smash continue to be a success.
Speaker 1: It's like it's the only one that can really do
Speaker 1: the crossover like that. It's just you don't know who
Speaker 1: the heck's gonna wind up being in the game. I
Speaker 1: do hope that, you know, if they.
Speaker 2: That in Fortnite now, yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wonder if like it. I would
Speaker 1: imagine at some point we're gonna get to where like
Speaker 1: Sacarai passes the baton off to somebody else because you know, uh,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he's gonna spend like most of this
Speaker 1: generation again doing that working on that game.
Speaker 2: Uh, I'll go go back to making kid a chorist.
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, nobody thought he was gonna do Curvy
Speaker 1: Air Riders, right, so why not? Like, do you think
Speaker 1: that when you when you look back, how long will
Speaker 1: it take? Do you think switch to will have a
Speaker 1: better chance of being more relevant when we get towards
Speaker 1: the end of the But like, okay, we're talking about
Speaker 1: like two or three years from now, we're going to
Speaker 1: have the PlayStation six and whatever the Xbox is, if
Speaker 1: they even have whatever the Xbox is supposed to be,
Speaker 1: you know, and then they also, you know, put the
Speaker 1: handheld on hold, so who knows when that's coming. But
Speaker 1: do you feel like with this graphical update or whatever,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to enjoy the third party stuff
Speaker 1: for switch to longer? Just go around or.
Speaker 2: It will only be the indie games? Ah, because they're
Speaker 2: already trying to get rid of you know, PS four
Speaker 2: games and Xbox one games don't look great, you know,
Speaker 2: and they try to do that cross gen or you know,
Speaker 2: bundles that's like no, h So yeah, they'll get I
Speaker 2: mean the fact that can't it's not it's announced, but
Speaker 2: I can't imagine a fancy seven rebirth looking great on
Speaker 2: the Switch too.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they did technically, Yeah, they already technically
Speaker 1: announced that it is going to come on Switch Team, right,
Speaker 1: Just please no cloud versions this time with anything. Just
Speaker 1: don't that did not work. It's it's embarrassing, quite frankly
Speaker 1: that some of the greatest games of all time, Kingdom Hearts,
Speaker 1: those Resident Evil remakes, all that stuff are only there
Speaker 1: on cloud version. I hope that's something they fixed with
Speaker 1: the switch to just just for people that only have switched.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing I could the Resident Will remakes. I
Speaker 2: could see it as like that was a solution because
Speaker 2: of Switch one wasn't powerful enough, right, Kingdom of Hearts
Speaker 2: is Yeah, that's embarrassing because it's an old PS.
Speaker 1: Two game that was more of like they didn't want
Speaker 1: to have to just do it with a third one,
Speaker 1: so they just did it with all of them as
Speaker 1: a kind of cheap way to port those over, and
Speaker 1: it was still terrible. Yep, you know, I do think
Speaker 1: that there's going to be a longer length with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll be three years, possibly four depending
Speaker 2: on what a game by game basis, but three years,
Speaker 2: but let's still be like old PS four and crap
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I do wonder how, you know, are they going to
Speaker 1: be able to tap in more into the DLSS tech
Speaker 1: or whatever to make it look more passable to where
Speaker 1: we could, like five or six years from now still
Speaker 1: be getting day and date third parties for the most part,
Speaker 1: I mean Nintendo did or Microsoft did make that deal.
Speaker 1: There's supposed to be ten years of call of duty
Speaker 1: on Nintendo, So how are you gonna make that work somewhere?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Like I do think that at some point, like do
Speaker 1: you think what about a pro? Do you think Nintendo
Speaker 1: does a Nintendo switch to Pro?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they called the two point five.
Speaker 1: I could see that.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know because I don'tone need to switch
Speaker 2: one pro. You know all the people rumoring monitoring about
Speaker 2: that and it never came out. I think what they're
Speaker 2: gonna do is two years from now, switch to old
Speaker 2: ED or switch to with like better battery life, because
Speaker 2: the Switch two has terrible battery life when I've heard, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know if they can really improve that because that
Speaker 1: comes with the better graphics and all that stuff with the.
Speaker 2: Games, like more efficient chip. You know, they can always
Speaker 2: you know that's not They'll find a way, but it's
Speaker 2: not gonna be it'll be like it'll be small updates,
Speaker 2: kind a dramatic one. You know.
Speaker 1: Do we get a Nintendo switch to light?
Speaker 2: Ah? Maybe, I don't know. I think the switch light
Speaker 2: was kind of always dumb.
Speaker 1: It's so yeah, that's that's one that I think definitely
Speaker 1: was helped by the pandemic because you can give that
Speaker 1: to the Yes, give it to your kid. Here, go
Speaker 1: destroy that. You don't put it on the TV. It's
Speaker 1: basically it basically is a tablet essentially, and you know,
Speaker 1: so I do think that they will because they always
Speaker 1: like to have different skews. Maybe not a launch, but
Speaker 1: they do. And they're definitely gonna do the old head
Speaker 1: for sure. You know that they're waiting to get people
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm gonna say two years for the
Speaker 1: light and then maybe three and a half for the
Speaker 1: od ed because I I don't think that the Switch
Speaker 1: two is going to I think it really just depends
Speaker 1: honestly on what's going on when we're talking about PlayStation six,
Speaker 1: and especially if Xbox doesn't end up doing a console.
Speaker 1: Like if it's just Sony and Nintendo, I think then
Speaker 1: the Switch two is around for a long time. You know,
Speaker 1: whatever it's it does have the ability to last as
Speaker 1: long as as the Switch one did. If we're talking
Speaker 1: about it's all three of them, and let's say that
Speaker 1: we really aren't getting that much more like the the
Speaker 1: the diminishing returns is really starting to kind of see
Speaker 1: with the consoles where we're not really seeing that even
Speaker 1: more of an uptick in power that much. I think
Speaker 1: that's going to determine more than anything, how long the
Speaker 1: Switch to six around. Ifore Nintendo has to either make
Speaker 1: a Switch three or make a pro or do something
Speaker 1: to kind of like lengthen that up longer for the
Speaker 1: people that want that.
Speaker 2: You know, this is a time for the television too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Tommy tallerco is waiting to finally do that thing.
Speaker 1: Where do you so Nintendo is saying that, Derek's do
Speaker 1: you think that we'll we'll get a pros? Is this
Speaker 1: going to continue the trend of not giving a price drop?
Speaker 1: Did we get a press drop ever for the Switch too?
Speaker 2: Yeah? In four years.
Speaker 1: Or three, I definitely think we'll we'll have a sale A.
Speaker 2: For sure on February twenty twenty eight. That's au.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for sure if we get a switch
Speaker 1: to Pro, we're gonna get the this, We'll finally get
Speaker 1: that discount. I think if not, because they'll be able
Speaker 1: to charge fifty more dollars for the old head. Then
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think about? Uh? During during
Speaker 1: the length of the do we get do game prices
Speaker 1: go up again?
Speaker 2: No? I think eighty is really pushing he he's pushing it.
Speaker 1: So I could see them really actually going up to
Speaker 1: like eighty five. I could see them doing the the
Speaker 1: the accessory thing of just saying, you know, five more
Speaker 1: dollars ain't gonna hurt nobody, and it definitely helps us
Speaker 1: with the game development. I do think that over the
Speaker 1: span of the switch to we're going to see we
Speaker 1: are going to see a return of like getting the
Speaker 1: franchises have more games in that lifetime because well Nintendo
Speaker 1: already does this, they don't spend that much on their games.
Speaker 1: But I think we're going to see that happen. Just
Speaker 1: in general, over the lifespan of this next generation of
Speaker 1: games are going to get smaller because they just cannot
Speaker 1: keep this pace of ballooning more or we're just going
Speaker 1: to get to the point where we just only have
Speaker 1: a small number of studios at these big publishers and
Speaker 1: that that's what's gonna happen outside of Nintendo. So I
Speaker 1: you know, where is your where is your like looking
Speaker 1: at what the switch to what we know of it
Speaker 1: for this year, like where is your kind of like
Speaker 1: high level? Do you think that there's going to be
Speaker 1: a switch to game that is fighting for Game of
Speaker 1: the Year at the end of the year.
Speaker 2: No, because no launch camera does that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm talking about launch window games as well, right,
Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong and none of those games you.
Speaker 2: Think, No, I mean not unless I can really push
Speaker 2: out of mar game like super quickly. I'm sure. Well,
Speaker 2: I couldn't say that marik Cart will probably win like
Speaker 2: Best Racing Game or Best Family Games.
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, that's that's the shooting for that. But
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like the Game of the Year, Game
Speaker 1: of the Awards.
Speaker 2: No, right, we'll get the cyberpunk again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see, And it's just like don y
Speaker 1: Yong is such an unknown man. I could see if
Speaker 1: it's really really good, it's up there, right, Because we
Speaker 1: were talking about like when twenty seventeen was just so
Speaker 1: awesome that we forget that like Mario Odyssey and Brought
Speaker 1: to the Wall were so great, like some people were
Speaker 1: picking one of the other, right, and then you still
Speaker 1: had some other games like Persona five and and other
Speaker 1: games that were up there on that that year. That
Speaker 1: year was amazing that like it is kind of that's
Speaker 1: sort of the one that's like, man, how good is
Speaker 1: Donkey Kong? Can it be what Mario odysty was and
Speaker 1: be up there? And then as long as that to me?
Speaker 1: And I also think like Metro Prime four could be
Speaker 1: kind of in there, right. People loved Metroprime Remaster if
Speaker 1: you can do that, but somehow even better with Metro
Speaker 1: Prime four, with whatever the story promises and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I can see Metro Prie four being
Speaker 1: up there and in that conversation, right. I think obviously
Speaker 1: it depends on how great Ghosts of Yote is as well.
Speaker 1: We already know like okay, Claire obscurit is there, but
Speaker 1: like and maybe you got some other ones like can
Speaker 1: it come over and stoo or whatever, but you know
Speaker 1: it split fiction. I'm sure we'll probably be in the
Speaker 1: conversation too, but it's kind of wide open a little
Speaker 1: bit now, so we'll see the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: What is up there. Venintenna does have the ability, I
Speaker 1: think with some of these these games that are kind
Speaker 1: of ann right now, to get up there for sure.
Speaker 1: But yeah, anything else that you wanted to do a
Speaker 1: prediction on or whatever, put.
Speaker 2: A new final them eventually for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how long do you think for final them? You
Speaker 1: think next year we'll get one?
Speaker 2: If they do, I want to be like you know,
Speaker 2: Three Houses and not engaged. I want it to be
Speaker 2: more story focused.
Speaker 1: Oh. I feel like they definitely know that they have
Speaker 1: to do another like Three Houses type game, Like that
Speaker 1: game sold way too well for them not to go
Speaker 1: back to that again.
Speaker 2: You know what they should do is I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know how big the games are. Addition, announce this
Speaker 2: would actually get me to fight me you buy it.
Speaker 2: Like Azino Blade Quadrilogy, we just put all four games
Speaker 2: on one cart.
Speaker 1: No way, no way, no way. They could put all
Speaker 1: on one cart. No way.
Speaker 2: Now that Mario three D All Stars thing, and if
Speaker 2: you put to.
Speaker 1: It, yeah that would be nice. What what else, like
Speaker 1: do you think we get a I don't know how
Speaker 1: they can really do this. But do you think that
Speaker 1: we get any more additions to switch online as far
Speaker 1: as like a console, Like do you think we get
Speaker 1: a DS or I don't know if they could do we.
Speaker 1: They could do we because they already have everything basically
Speaker 1: to do the Wii.
Speaker 2: Right, it'll be all thirty games a virtual boy only
Speaker 2: now it was actual color.
Speaker 1: I'd be really surprised if we don't get the Wi
Speaker 1: just because they've already did Nintendo Switch Sports. They already
Speaker 1: they like, you know, they do. They tried to do
Speaker 1: a bunch of things with the where you use the
Speaker 1: most of control with the the thing.
Speaker 2: My problem with that would be, like is it even
Speaker 2: one to one fidelity with the Wii? The switch controllers
Speaker 2: are now.
Speaker 1: They're better, right, they have better sensors, so it could
Speaker 1: be even better than those with those games.
Speaker 2: But like the we worked because you're basically always facing
Speaker 2: the TV, right, be facing the you know, the wheat
Speaker 2: or the switch.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but now you could do it without even
Speaker 1: having to be on the TV. That's the thing, right,
Speaker 1: You could technically just set it on your table and
Speaker 1: play it on the screen, or you could you could
Speaker 1: technically dock it and play it that way too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then there's like a dead zone issue or
Speaker 2: you know, like what is neutral?
Speaker 1: So I am kind of interested to see like do
Speaker 1: they I know they've like retrofitted it right where they've
Speaker 1: done these remasters of DS games or three DS games
Speaker 1: already or whatever, but right, could they possibly do a
Speaker 1: switch online of those at all? Or would it just
Speaker 1: be like going to the Wii? And then that's pretty
Speaker 1: much it, right, Like they don't have anything else that
Speaker 1: they can really put on there as far as like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna introduce all these games because they already
Speaker 1: ported everything from the WU so.
Speaker 2: Essentially all the old game and watch LCDU games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's that. I had something else that I just
Speaker 1: can't think of off the top of my head now.
Speaker 1: But yeah, look that Swiss two's coming. We'll we'll know
Speaker 1: pretty soon. Obviously. I do agree with some of the
Speaker 1: hype being kind of a little bit down just because
Speaker 1: we don't have people like reviewing it, so now it's
Speaker 1: kind of like a Okay, it's anticipation for it to come.
Speaker 1: Then it's gonna be like, okay, you get it, you
Speaker 1: play Mario Kart, like getting to do all that enjoying
Speaker 1: it thing. I want to see if there is any
Speaker 1: kind of frame rate improvement automatically or is that all
Speaker 1: tied to it always has to be a switch to
Speaker 1: edition or some kind of free update or whatever. Is
Speaker 1: there any kind of that stuff with the system?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I went to a best Buy today to pick
Speaker 2: up that speaking in collection and they had like a
Speaker 2: bunch of like weird Mario day ship. Yeah, and it's like, yo,
Speaker 2: that was three months ago, dogs like why is why
Speaker 2: don't you have any switch to crap out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm surprised. I'm gonna how much do you think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be confusion with the boxes kind of looking
Speaker 1: the same a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same with the ween that we you like, at
Speaker 2: least that looked different kind of I don't.
Speaker 1: Think that's gonna I don't think it's gonna be that level.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be more of a people going, well,
Speaker 1: this looks very similar. Why, Like somebody's gonna have to
Speaker 1: explain to them, like why this is why? Obviously when
Speaker 1: you get up to the register and it costs the
Speaker 1: different the cost difference is gonna be a number one
Speaker 1: big thing, right, And there is a number two on
Speaker 1: the box, so like you just tell somebody I want
Speaker 1: the switch too, Well, this one has the number two
Speaker 1: on it. So people are much more used to like
Speaker 1: iterative things. You know, we're at we're at iPhone sixteen
Speaker 1: pro at this point in Galaxy twenty five. Like people
Speaker 1: people kind of get it, but I get it for
Speaker 1: like the look, look my mom, I tell her to
Speaker 1: go to a Gainst. Thank god I don't have to
Speaker 1: do that anymore. But you know, if I would have
Speaker 1: told my grandpa back then, like YO, give me the
Speaker 1: switch too, he probably would have no idea. I have
Speaker 1: to write it down for him and then he goes
Speaker 1: and gives it the person of the register. It is
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, like if during the holiday season you
Speaker 1: get people end up getting switched ones that you know
Speaker 1: they want they actually wanted to switch to or whatever.
Speaker 1: But there is a whole other Oh. Also, do you
Speaker 1: think we're getting that direct during summer game fests like
Speaker 1: during this week or you think it's not happening next week?
Speaker 1: You think, so, okay, on it's the console lectually out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see that. I just think that like there's
Speaker 1: outside of obviously you want to be able to announce
Speaker 1: that your game is coming to Switch too. I just
Speaker 1: don't see the point of like, why would you have
Speaker 1: the System come out the day before Summer Game Fest
Speaker 1: if you're not going to do something at Summer game
Speaker 1: Fess itself. So like, I just think that it's like
Speaker 1: Taylor made for you to have that direct. That makes
Speaker 1: it feel like it's an E three kind of moment
Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, here's our time to shine. The
Speaker 1: System came out, here's what's coming out now, you know,
Speaker 1: or coming out soon or or whatever you know for it.
Speaker 1: But there are are other showcases happening during this week.
Speaker 1: Summer Game for US is of course on Friday, so
Speaker 1: you can watch that two hour thing and see how
Speaker 1: what amazing things Heely's able to pull for this obviously
Speaker 1: probably not as awesome as the game, you know, Game
Speaker 1: Awars typically is, but you see this is pretty good
Speaker 1: as well. Right before that, you got the Accessibility showcase,
Speaker 1: and then you got Day of the Devs right after,
Speaker 1: which that one's usually really good for indies. And then
Speaker 1: after that you got the Develver direct, which, if anything,
Speaker 1: it's gonna make you laugh. Plus de Volver keeps getting
Speaker 1: really good games, you know, so definitely worth checking out.
Speaker 1: Saturday you got a whole slew of very specific things,
Speaker 1: and also the Future Game Show later in that day,
Speaker 1: along with like all the Latin American Women Led Wholesome
Speaker 1: Direct all that kind of stuff. And then Sunday you
Speaker 1: got the Xbox and PC Gaming Show, so there's that,
Speaker 1: and then Monday got Desk Straining, two Black Bustling Gaming
Speaker 1: as well, so stuff all over this weekend. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a game for you in all of that. Also,
Speaker 1: before we get out here, just want to give it
Speaker 1: a shout out because I thought it was awesome. Anybody
Speaker 1: that loves JRPGs, especially the indie variety. The I want
Speaker 1: to say this right the Gaming Show, they had a
Speaker 1: Indie Quest twenty twenty five, which is all about indie
Speaker 1: JRPG's and strategy RPGs, and they had forty games that
Speaker 1: they showed off in this thing, which is pretty awesome
Speaker 1: to say. Some of them are games that are already out,
Speaker 1: but most of them are all games that are either
Speaker 1: coming out later this year or next year. It's like
Speaker 1: an hour and forty minutes, So I don't know about
Speaker 1: checking out the whole thing, but I definitely check out
Speaker 1: you know, some trailers for some of those games, Like
Speaker 1: there was a obvious like Fire and Bloom inspired game
Speaker 1: that you'd probably like Mark. There's also a sweak it
Speaker 1: In inspired game that you probably might want to check out. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's definitely some Chrono Trigger ones that are taking inspiration
Speaker 1: from as well.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of running the gamut for this. So
Speaker 1: if like you're an indie RPG person, go check out
Speaker 1: some of the trailers, go find out you know, like
Speaker 1: go read one of those everything that got announced articles.
Speaker 1: But I want to shout out like this one called
Speaker 1: Dome RPG that doesn't come out until next year, that
Speaker 1: has like all kinds of different art styles and they
Speaker 1: literally go it feels like in so many different types
Speaker 1: of RPG in the one game, and it looks awesome.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to like give that a shout.
Speaker 1: There's quite a few other ones. There's one that's like
Speaker 1: obviously inspired from like Undertail, has very similar art sole
Speaker 1: and all that. So there's one that's literally the Aberga
Speaker 1: level from Kingdom Hearts. I'm not kidding, but I was
Speaker 1: just kind of like, Okay, I don't know where we're
Speaker 1: bordering on inspiration. Uh there, but look, credit to all
Speaker 1: those devs. I wish listed a ton of games off
Speaker 1: of that thing. So, like I said, I'll put a
Speaker 1: link in description to that as well. Definitely should go
Speaker 1: give that a world if you're an indie RBG fan
Speaker 1: at all. So yeah, outside of that, I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be.
Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't talk about it last week for that
Speaker 2: Street Under movie cast.
Speaker 1: Okay, what what? I have not seen that?
Speaker 2: Still? So they announced four actors or four people they
Speaker 2: are considering for the Street Fighter movie. The two the
Speaker 2: two other actors they look they all spot pretty easily,
Speaker 2: Nick Ken and Ru Yeah. The two other actors Roman
Speaker 2: Rains and.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I aren't they the same?
Speaker 2: I'm joking. Oh yeah, I'll admit I'm not super up
Speaker 2: on his Chief Fighter maybe nowadays. But who do who
Speaker 2: do those dudes play? Well?
Speaker 1: This and Ama can play anybody because you know he's
Speaker 1: Dice and the MOA and you cast him in a movie,
Speaker 1: people will go see it.
Speaker 2: So but what character does he play? The only the
Speaker 2: only like idea I saw and someone said this was
Speaker 2: like they could see Roman Rain he's playing like Blanca.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that because he has he has
Speaker 1: some of that characteristic when he when he wrestles his
Speaker 1: character already, so it'd be something.
Speaker 2: He can do the beast roll and shock people in
Speaker 2: the ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I can I could see the what's you know,
Speaker 1: I could I could see maybe even well doing like
Speaker 1: ball row or something through the box. And thing is
Speaker 1: that he'll have the ponytail instead.
Speaker 2: Of Tyson rip off character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2: The the only thing I can see like Mamoa playing
Speaker 2: is be like t Hawk. Yeah, that's Hawk like that.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It just depends on kind of like how deep they're
Speaker 1: gonna go. They're gonna go just like the regular you
Speaker 1: know one she'd expect like Gyle and Blanca and you
Speaker 1: know chun Lee.
Speaker 2: Obviously it's fighters really funny because and more more to come.
Speaker 2: It doesn't really do this as much, but the main
Speaker 2: character is supposed to be re you like, he's a
Speaker 2: first character, like when you hit go, like he's like
Speaker 2: the main character. And the movies and TV shows don't
Speaker 2: like that at all. They always slide in dial.
Speaker 1: Or even like Bison's sometimes it feels like he's almost
Speaker 1: like you know, because he's the main villain, so he
Speaker 1: gets a lot of screen time as well. Right, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna go to eat ral Julia's but all right, look,
Speaker 1: I don't need to go over the switch lineup with you.
Speaker 1: I basically did that already. That's most of what's coming
Speaker 1: out this week. So if you're not getting a Switch two,
Speaker 1: there is a few other things if you you know,
Speaker 1: So there's an RBG Poppycorn that our good friend Scott
Speaker 1: reviewed that's on p S I, PS four and PC.
Speaker 1: That's out like right now. You can get Delta Roo
Speaker 1: on other consoles eventually, so you know, there's that. Also,
Speaker 1: Doing Awakening I think will be well, they'll be out that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, doing Awakening is wrong because that'll be out
Speaker 1: the day after we do this show next week. But
Speaker 1: there is some cool stuff in like next week aside
Speaker 1: from Switch to, like Mind's Eye, which has been getting
Speaker 1: a lot of black for either whether you believe that
Speaker 1: there's a hate campaign on that game or not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then some other plays coming out to PC. So
Speaker 1: there's some some neat thing yeah I would imagine probably
Speaker 1: not on there, but yeah, so Switch to launch, launch week,
Speaker 1: Summer Game Fest, plenty of stuff to get excited about
Speaker 1: this weekend. Like I said, we'll do Saturday, we'll be
Speaker 1: here doing Summer Game Fest talking about uh switch To
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, you know what the you know what
