 Welcome back to the Nintendo Prime podcast episode 44 I sincerely hope everything is sounding good this week. We've had no issues. I have literally changed zero settings From last week. So if suddenly it sounds like crap, I Might just go ahead and eat my computer right into the garbage dump. All right that being said I'm your host as always Nathaniel Ruplejantz and as you can see I don't actually have a co-host Eric is not here today That's okay. He's got stuff going on. It's called a job, you know kind of comes first So we do have a special guest on however and that is the man the myth the legend Andres restart. How's it going buddy? Whoa, I'm a legend. All right I'm good. I'm doing all right. I'm doing all right. All things considered busier week than expected, but I Mean There's good to be had and yeah Kind of an ironic week So before we get into our first topic you guys know we'll be talking a lot about Breath of the Wild 2 today Also another topic that I didn't even tell Andres about because it kind of just came across my news feed today So we'll talk about that later but we always start every episode talking about what have we been playing lately and I mean for me it's real real simple Kirby in the Forgotten Land is the only thing that has graced a screen Other than TV shows in the last week So that's what I've been playing. I'm not done with it yet. I'm sort of taking my sweet time I clearly could have beat the game by now even 100% But I'm just trying to savor it because every new level I get to every new challenge stage I reach just is better and better and better So I'm like forcing myself to stop because I don't want it to end and I'm really afraid I'm gonna get to the end to be like damn I wish there was more because that's the way I felt with other really great Nintendo games like Pikmin 3 Got the end of that and I just felt like this is great. I don't want to stop and it stopped And since I'm 100% in the game on the hardest difficulty if we could even call it that I Guess I can go back through and see what the hell is easy difficulty then. I'm actually kind of curious I'm almost afraid to load into it That be it said that's what I've been playing Andres we start what have you been playing lately bud? So I also have been playing Kirby in the Forgotten Land and I also think it's a delight I also plan on a hundred percenting it. We talked about this a couple days ago It's probably like it seems like a fairly easy game to 100% not that it's easy to do that But compared to other games it is easy to 100% but 100% it gives it kind of like that challenge So I've been playing that. I'm still pretty early on but it also been playing Cuphead as well. I finally got into Cuphead and I've been having a good time with that too. So I've been sort of juggling Cuphead Kirby and Mario Kart and F-Zero X Whatever suits my fancy the moment I play one of the line up quite the lineup Yeah, no, it's a good time and none of them are like really like narrative driven I mean you could argue Kirby has been that really so it's not like You know I need to like for example if I was playing Breath of the Wild 2 when it comes out I would probably only play that game And nothing else unless like someone wanted to play a multiplayer game with me Otherwise, I would just be playing Breath of the Wild 2 but these games are kind of games I can kind of jump in For like a minute or two at a time for a little bit and that's yeah, it's just kind of what I've been doing lately and it's It's been a Very pleasurable. I'm very happy. I mean I've been happy with my switch Like there's just plenty of games to play right? So like I mean we're gonna talk about it at some point or another, right? But you know like with the Breath of the Wild 2 delay like yeah That sucks, but also We have so many games to play. I have a number of games on my switch that I haven't gone around to I've only been one of the or games. That's still saved on there I have Bayonetta finish and be obviously obviously Kirby now. I have to go back and play with commie HD there's just Do maternal haven't like it does a lot. I have to get I mean outside of my switch I still need to get Elden Ring so like I'm not really there's just so many games to play. So and it's not gonna slow down This is a packed year for no every system. Yeah Yeah, it's It's a good time to be a gamer very dense Especially if you have a lot of free time and money, which usually does not coincide together So hey if you're a gamer that has a lot of free time and money. This is the year for you Especially with like the kinds of games like legends Arceus that that took some time commitment for that Elden Ring clearly take some time commitment Kirby's almost a reprieve at this point Compared to the games that have been coming out. So I mean since it doesn't take a massive chunk of time Yeah, there's there's just a lot happening this year and it's gonna continue I think to get better and better and better even if a certain game is no longer this year Kind of sad but also it's okay random random thought that is absolutely Not true. I am not suggesting this at all just a passing thought that I'm throwing out there What if the Breath of the Wild 2 delay is in the elaborate April Fool's joke and Two days after that the Breath of the Wild 2 delay. They're like a psych. It's still coming out this year Here's a breath of the Wild 2 direct just shadow drop it tomorrow and they announced it's coming out in October So oh Dude, I love my chat right now So a particular user in the chat said Nate wants more games one I didn't say I want more games to be clear. That is not what I said I said those people that have a lot of free time and a lot of money are gonna be very happy this year and two I don't even play games. I'm stuck What I live stream games every week bare minimum. There's at least a day a week. I'm playing games then right like you guys can see it live I don't I I'm sorry that my life is not obsessed with playing four plus hours of video games a day anymore You know, that's what happens when you grow up You got to choose your time wisely to balance between life and opposite YouTube stuff and jobs and school and kids and yeah I still game damn it Just cuz I haven't beat Kirby yet my god. I've already put like six hours into it leave me alone Dang, you know people people just Everyone's different, you know, everyone's different speaking of games though And we we already briefly touched about it We might as well just get into it the first topic because obviously this is a really really big Topic a really big piece of news and it's it's kind of funny because the whole topic today was supposed to be Hey, you know you made that video about how you're like not really that excited for breath of the Wild 2 At the moment you're kind of losing hype a little bit. They're not talking about it And then of course, you know, we do a podcast where we talk a little bit more And then on your channel and then all of a sudden they drop the big news and delay it Of course in the delay they did something they haven't really done with priors held the delays and actually gave us new footage It was only for a few seconds But it was a really really nice few seconds of new footage Which I kind of still gets into the topic of of this because obviously Most reactions to the delay have been surprisingly positive saying they're your audio is a little robotic Oh my god, is it back to robotic? Yeah. Yeah, that's why I was asking you there because it sounds robotic on my end But I was I'm assuming that it was sounds robotic to you too Yes, oh my god. Yes, that's a whole new problem Yeah, I thought the thing is I wasn't saying anything because I thought for everyone else. It was okay All right, give me a second guys You guys know we have audio issues and I don't know what happened. I don't know why I'm suddenly robotic That makes me I don't mind talking if I can still kind of like share my thoughts while you figure it out I don't know if that'll work. No, I mean you can go right ahead share your thoughts on if you're still Whatever and I'll just I mean like yeah I mean I'll just kind of talk about how you're sort of introducing the whole thing about Like hype dying for breath a while too. So like It is kind of interesting timing, right? That I put out that video Kind of just talking about hey Nintendo's not really talking about this game. They're waiting a really long time to give us information It's a little unorthodox Something maybe seems kind of up but also could just be Nintendo being Nintendo. They're the kings of left field, right? They love throwing us curveballs But you know the lack of information on the game the lack of discussion or news on the game at all is Sort of contributing to perhaps a dampening of my anticipation for the game, right? Just because there's not just not that much out there and it's not just that But it's also that in conjunction with all these other games You have to play it like Kirby like Cuphead like Elden Ring like Triangle strategy and then Nintendo switch sports in a few weeks and and then Mario Stryker It's then Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and seem to be Chronicles 3 So you have all these different games that Nintendo is talking about right now And they're all look really awesome and there's plenty of things to play right now So between the lack of information on Breath of the Wild 2 and the abundance of information for other games They're gonna be playing sooner, you know It's not so much that I don't think Breath of the Wild 2 isn't gonna be like the best thing ever I do think it's gonna be like the best thing ever, but Logically like logically I understand that it has that potential But from like a feeling perspective from like an excitement perspective I am not really being carried right now and that's you know That's just how Nintendo is opting to handle things. They could give us information and get us excited But they are choosing not to I'm not I'm not judging how they're how they're marketing the game simply saying and It's interesting because a couple days later. What happens? They announce that Breath of the Wild 2 has been delayed and then all of a sudden it kind of makes Sense and I know a lot of people are predicting this you know, I Wasn't but it's also not like a shock either right? I mean ultimately I thought it was like a 5050 I mean we had people like Paris Schneider saying the game was on was on time Games been development since 2017. It's using Breath of the Wild as a foundation You would think that a development time would be shorter not longer and not only is it now longer. It's gonna be significantly longer So, you know, it's it's a strange peculiar situation. I think but you know obviate There it's kind of kind. It still makes sense though. We haven't been getting information Why because they're actually not that close to releasing the game not as close as we thought or we're hoping So, you know, it does kind of make sense in hindsight now Nate are you are you is your audio kind of working again? I have no idea because I can't hear it myself. I know for you Yeah, no, it sounds It sounds better. Well, I didn't do anything to change it for you. I did something to change the stream So if it sounds better for you, okay, it's very strange Well, okay, it still sounds robotic just like, you know, maybe you might just be speaking a little louder Okay, left ear is good. Okay. Hold on. Let me. Oh, yeah, it's okay. I can fix that part But it sounds good on the left ear, right guys. We good Yeah, and I can still hear I can still make out everything you're saying. It's saying Oh, yeah, I know it sounds robotic to you I'm gonna try to fix it for YouTube, but I wanted to make sure that this was the actual problem first Yeah, I understand everything you're saying. So I don't think it's necessary. I will be right, you know Yeah, but anyway, like, you know, just I guess just kind of continuing on right it's a very You know in a way it's disappointing right the breath of the wild to has been delayed because well wanted to see it right and then you know being wrong sucks, but It's whenever it comes to like breath of the wild timing. It's just yeah, just gonna be I'm just gonna be wrong on that like I'll just take yeah, whatever whenever whenever whenever I'm predicting something for like when breath of the wild to is gonna show up Save for like a three news. I'm just gonna be wrong Everything else I feel pretty good about Yeah, I can hear you fine. Good. Is it better for you now, too? Actually is yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah guys. This is what happens. Welcome to software So everything was good But voice mod updated right before we started the stream and everything was filtered through voice mod And they must have changed something on voice mod that screwed up my voice because this is the raw audio It's obviously working fine. All right. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off. Go on pull your thing. Oh No, I was just talking about my my my W's and L's when it comes to breath of the wild to predicting Like when it comes to breath of the wild to timing I've just been kind of like into off like every time with this game I think it's I don't We don't know but I think obviously the pandemic and things have led to a very different course of development So that's kind of where it's been very confusing I'm sure we get more into that But you know, there have been things I've been right about like I feel like I should I want I want to Toot my horn there because I personally have been getting a bit of flak I don't know if you have or other people have but like for example, I Said that breath of the wild to was gonna have a huge sky focus before they reveal all the sky stuff You know for example just that just just an example, right? So there are things that I talk about that do end up true But it has not been timing for breath of the wild to that's just like no not even close But whatever anyway The what they showed though pretty cool and it's yeah, so you know my surface stops like there's still so much for us to play and Maybe this delay actually supports Idea of hardware coming out early next year Interesting So would you say are you then there's all the and then the little gameplay simp It's definitely giving me a whole bunch of ideas for the game itself and where they're going with that But I don't want to share everything immediately. Am I rehyped? I have like four Zelda videos planned So, you know, I mean that sounds like hype to me Yeah There's definitely there's definitely that I didn't want to talk about so there so I Dropped another Zelda video today, and I have no idea how many more I have coming guys The ideas come to me as they come it just kind of how it flows with me, but I will say this Obviously I Never got dehyped for the game I also never expected to see the game again until probably e3 this year Like I talked about how oh maybe at the game Awards, maybe here maybe there, but raw expectations were Nintendo doesn't really start the full hype train until they give us an actual release date And we didn't really have one We just had a year which told me while they are not gonna go ham I think it's gonna be holiday this year. They'll go ham from summer moving forward They're not gonna want to overshadow Pokemon legends Arceus or Kirby or advance Wars that when that was the thing That was coming out Nintendo Switch sports Strikers etc. Even Splatoon 3 they would like look we'll start the hype train this summer when we're hyping up our holiday games, but Obviously that was under the presumption it was still coming this year and as we talked about on your pocket It's just on Monday. Hey the official date was 2022 so until we hear otherwise. Well, we heard all right Yeah, that's it, and I think the reaction to this delay has been mostly positive for I think really a Few reasons the first one being we already have a ton of games this year So we can't be disappointed that this ruins this year Because there's so many other games coming out for all platforms, but especially on switch It's not like we have a shortage now This might be the only game you cared about this year and if that's the case it might bum me out a little bit but They didn't delay it that far out of the year and that's the other thing Is animal crossing like yeah like they're saying spring 2023 and every time they've said spring Of x year for any game in the switch era. It's always been march. It's always been march They it hasn't been the april or the may it's always been march Doesn't mean they won't erby Yeah, it doesn't mean they won't buck this trend and release an april or may which is also technically part of spring But it's a massive game and games this big They like to have land right before the end of the fiscal year because it really bumps those numbers for them When they're just about to go talk to investors um So it it's a strategic move as well to release it in march And we've seen to do this with a number of major games Well, there was animal crossing last year wasn't a nintendo one, but they had monster hunter rise That sold over 8 million that was a big deal especially in japan so nintendo likes to have a major game in march And this is likely going to be that game and i think the fact that we probably only have to wait three at maximum five months into 2023 has made people realize. Hey, you know what before we didn't even have a release timing now We know this is when it's coming and they were more firm this time on saying it will be spring 2023 not just No language of aiming for 2022. Um, but it's a more specific season spring 2023 to your point and i do want to say Um, but kind of speaking more to the idea of a march release seeming more likely Say besides the whole point of it coming out in time for the end of the fiscal year, which is reason enough alone, right? But with kirby There was plenty of reason to think that if of any spring sort of target release That would maybe come out a little bit later Because they already had triangle strategy coming out in in march, right? Sure Like so there's plenty of reasons to maybe think it would come out in april or may but no It's still have it coming out in march Um, and you know, I I thought that maybe kirby wouldn't be the kind of game that they would really want to save for march to be like a big release, but This is actually Of just kirby is proving to be fairly significant You know, like and maybe it's maybe it's not a 30 million seller But this could go down as maybe a 10 million seller once everything's said and done Well, i mean long sales are reportedly over 2 million Um, worldwide strong start, which is a strong start at the end of the month And plus they had triangle strategy at the beginning of the month and I think just those two combined games They feel like well, not an animal crossing. Well, not a monster hunter rise. It is something big. I think You know, ideally they might have wanted something like nintendo switch sports this month But they want to make sure that kirby got its time in the sun and then kick off the next fiscal year with What's probably going to be a pretty strong seller so long as they don't screw it up And actually market it correctly. We'll see I know the positive reception that came out of the trial for Nintendo switch sports. So that's always good um But yeah, well, what's interesting too and and and I've seen a bunch of people bring this up and I I just actually looked Um, if it comes out in march, there happens to be a particular date of importance That happens to land on a normal release day and that is march 3rd of 2023 lands on a friday Which is when nintendo releases games And would be a nice little convenient bow on saying anniversary of switch anniversary of the first game Here's the second game again not saying it is gonna come up march 3rd. They could do it later in the month They could Or they could say I think you'll have been noting that march 3rd falls on a friday So there's a chance that it could it could be then yeah, that's the key Is that it lands on our if it was like a tuesday or what it's not happening guys They release on fridays, but it is a friday It does conveniently line up for the sixth anniversary would be really really cool I will note however that the way nintendo has timed all their other releases That are this big for march has never been the beginning It's been the middle or towards the end so they're gonna be spill over into the beginning of the next fiscal year Now they might fully believe it doesn't matter for this game It can go ahead and send 10 50 million in the first month and continue to sell afterwards and not be a problem So they might not care about that They might care more about the anniversary and making it just this really cool big event out of it because nintendo does do that Sometimes we saw what they did for the first breath of the wild and how big of a deal they made out of that With the marketing and the e3 and everything and they could be doing that again for this and say look We're gonna make a big deal of the fact that the switch has been out for six years It's at 118 million just cross game boy, etc. Except like they could make a huge deal out of it If they want to and I I think they will because I think they probably spent another 300 million dollars making this game Based on how long it's been in development for like the original. Yeah, um, so I do want to I do want to Of something I want to point out That maybe something that perhaps strengthened the possibility of Both breath of the wild and switch coming out early in march 3rd was because they wanted to get that out as soon as possible Right because they didn't have anything really significant to sell. Yeah at that time So getting it out as soon as possible was You know ideal for them. So that's why march 3rd was more likely Um this time around there isn't necessarily as much of a rush To get it out In terms of the we're talking about hardware here Like there's no need to get out new hardware at the very beginning of march to maximize You know, it's time out there like They could wait a couple weeks. It's not it's not gonna really change too much. We did have a super chat come in from midnight Naomi, thank you so much for the 21 dollars. Um, I appreciate the super chat midnight Naomi But I am not restarting the podcast for you. Um, hey, but that's half my name though Maybe on my channel. Yeah, uh, so we're not gonna restart the podcast, but you can rewind once we're all done I don't think you could rewind live. I don't really don't know how youtube works for that I mean, it was mostly just audio issues and yeah, sort of you didn't really miss anything of importance Besides a robotic voice and recapping games who playing lately. We're basically on the first topic right now So that's yeah, you know with good audio. So that's what matters. Um, so Yeah, so I just wanted to note obviously that it's very interesting that march 30th happens the liner on a friday So for anyone who thinks that nintendo is going to care about that date There is at least a chance. There's a chance it is spring technically and it is You know a friday That being said, obviously you brought up, um, you know the potential of releasing some sort of new hardware with this Whether it's the pro or you know next gen. Yeah, I don't I don't really think we're getting next gen yet Could be wrong on that front. I don't really know. I don't work at nintendo I don't really know what their plans are I just know what reports and rumors and things that exist and the leak stuff from nvidia that shows They clearly have something in the works that seems to line up with all the reports last year from dev units So I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know if it's gonna get scrapped I don't know anything. I don't work at nintendo. I don't work at nvidia I don't have any contacts at nvidia or nintendo but what I can say is I personally don't think they're launching new hardware with this game Now that doesn't mean new hardware won't already be around Um, it's possible that they release new hardware this holiday And this is just the first big game after the holidays That pushes the hardware or at least proves the hardware now. This assumes that there will be new hardware I don't even know if there will be. Um, I did note in a video today that Set aside the new footage The new old footage which is the same footage they showed last year If you put it side by side with the old footage looks just a little bit sharper now There are many reasons this could be the case. It could just be better compression by youtube this time around Can't rule that out. Uh, it could just be more optimization what we saw at e3 2021 was like nine months old You know, so now we're looking at a year newer build. So it's just been more polished It could be because of new hardware It could also be that hey they decided from the time we saw that footage last year You know at some point in development to today that hey, we're gonna use fsr Because we're all you know, nintendo is using it on a different game a first party made game in nintendo switch sports So maybe nintendo is kind of doing this whole We're going to start using this on everything that's going to be on the original switch Because it makes sense it makes games look better If you guys see some of the screenshots that nintendo of america has been posting for uh nintendo switch sports They magically look crystal clear Perfect 1080p Lots of details, which is not what we're used to seeing from something like that People are saying that i'm That you're too quiet and i'm too loud. So they're suggesting that you lower me slightly What I could just talk louder, baby You just talk louder I mean, I've turned my mic up But you know, there's only so much I can go up with it before it starts to clip really bad And I don't want it to clip really bad to my mic my gain is like near the bottom Yeah, and and and just to be clear if the audio is like mismatch and uneven, but we both sound clear Just go ahead and watch our podcast later when it gets re-uploaded to the podcast channel because all the audio gets leveled out and editing So it won't it won't matter for that all that matters is that i'm not robotic That's what I really care the most about is i'm not robotic Now I will note for things like our e3 show coming up And stuff like that this summer. Yes, we will try our best to make sure the audio is leveled In fact, I'm going to be using a mixer That's going to have the you know, our guest audio come in my audio and we can literally hard mix everything From my current setup today. I cannot adjust his audio. I can only slightly adjust my audio So that's just the way it goes Unless you guys want to give me thousands of dollars for new equipment, which you know, I appreciate it But no, thanks. I'm good. You're too loud, apparently Now i'm too loud. See, this is what happens. There's no middle ground I have no problem with any about anything i'm hearing. Yeah, there's no there's no middle ground. There's no middle ground See all all I did was turn it up one notch from what people were saying And look now I turned it down a notch and I'll suddenly be too quiet now See, there's no winning you get what you're getting you stop throwing a fit if he bothers you guys I'm sorry. I do the best I can on my one man show I don't have an audio person behind the scenes running things. All right Let's get back into the actual conversation at hand. Um, sorry guys, it's really frustrating every week It's always something with the audio and now that i'm sounding clear people are just complaining about the volumes It's not going to be perfect All right, we just need to accept That as long as the audio sounds clear. That's my goal. That's why we have a podcast channel So you can get the level of audio there or listen to the audio version Which will also have it leveled out live. This is a raw recording This is what this is what it's like raw, baby. This is like a live studio show But the actual production comes later where all this stuff is fixed up um All right that being said um I so I want to steal your background Which one which background the whole nintendo prime like light up thing it's Pretty damn cool It was also pretty damn expensive Well, you know, um, I could settle for the the wind wicker stained glass stuff. Yeah on both sides Oh, I know Which oh, I have I have a poster like that one like one of them. Um Yeah, I just noticed the one poster is a little too low too. Anyway, let's like fix that later. Um Yeah, no, so that yeah the that thing behind me guys that you see in the video version That was made by the same person who made all of our E3 Stuff last year all of our backgrounds and our intros and all that And I paid quite a pretty penny because he makes it all by hand And it takes a lot of talent to do what he does And then on top of that obviously is the tv that it's on wasn't exactly cheap because we needed a big Nice tv that could handle various lighting situations and not just shoot a bunch of glare back at you Um, so there's that as well. There's a special coating on this tv and Quite the investment in this set to be really frustrated that I've yet to have a single podcast episode come out That's kicks off. Perfect. There's always some problem typically with audio What a pain in my ass Oh my gosh, you know, it gets so fresher into the point that it almost makes you want to cancel the podcast Sometimes it'd be like, hey, you know what no podcast for you Get out of here But guys, it's gonna get perfect eventually Just gotta give it some time. You have to understand a lot of my frustration guys is that Um in building this whole new studio including this set, there's been thousands and thousands of dollars spent The savings has been emptied. Uh, so you guys think you're frustrated when the audio is not working, right? Imagine how I feel Knowing how much money I invested and knowing that there's still issues, you know, six episodes into using this set What are you gonna do? I just want it perfect by e3. That's my only goal I literally told julia and eric just yesterday. My only goal Is that when we hit live for e3, we don't have these problems if we can get it perfect by then It's all worth the suffering Which is funny because I'm completely changing the audio setup by then so Lovely. All right, let's get back into uh, what we were talking about with zelda. Um So, yeah, I I don't know that we're gonna get any hardware At all And if we do, I don't know they're gonna time it around with zelda or not. They could I don't think they need to I don't think it's gonna hurt I will say this if they're going to time a hardware release with zelda. I no longer expect there to be any special edition switches Because they tend not to do that when they're launching brand new hardware. There's no special edition anything When it comes to the actual stuff and we've been waiting You know almost six years for special edition switch and all we've gotten are scowards or a joint gun Which are cool. That's fine But I would like a zelda theme switch now Setting that aside. That's all personal wishes Again, it could be amd fsr super resolution that could just be doing that making it better It could just be a further long in the but there's so many reasons that the footage could look a little bit better a little bit sharper All I know in the end is I just really want this game. I'm glad I now know when it's coming I'm surprised that they actually showed a snippet of new gameplay that that caught me in that guard That was that was huge. It was huge caught me off guard entirely off. Like they were showing old footage I'm like, okay. Yeah, this is this is how they always delays all this They show a little bit of the footage they've already shown You know, we'll see you at this future date and that's it But the fact that they were willing to show more of it One tells me that's not the last time we're seeing this game this year. We're seeing it again I don't know when but we are going to see this game again. It might not be till september Might not be till september I think it's probably going to be e3 and then they'll bring it up at the game awards And then they'll because that'll be after the most of holiday releases This yeah, this year's game war is going to have that that you know, it's another interesting thing to consider Perhaps the reason nintendo didn't have A presence of the game awards because they would have wanted to have breath of the wild too But at that point they knew that the game probably wasn't going to make holiday And maybe that's why they just didn't put anything in the show, you know Yeah, I want to thank uh, what jesse Uh, let me see here. We had a new member join jesse beholder. Thank you for joining the member of the board of directors here And then we had a five dollar super type of paint five purple Just saying thanks for all the hard work. Yeah, sorry. I don't I'm not actually frustrated with you guys When I see the audio complaints, it's me I'm frustrated with me and not being better prepared or having a better testing methodology because here's the problem with my lives I everything can work in the moment. I hit go live It all changes And I can't test that without actually being live Um, what's fun is I you're in e3 I've it's already been decided that we're going to have kind of this Half hour or 15 minute or so like preamble before we're officially live So the stream will be live and we'll have our countdown But then we'll like pop in for part of the countdown to be like, hey, let's test the audio How you guys doing blah blah blah so we can actually test it live before we cut to the official show Um But that's that's something i'm doing for that. I thought about doing that for everything But it's a really complex setup to do that So we're we're just going to save it for the biggest show of the year for us But thanks for the super chats guys. You guys are awesome. Again, I'm not frustrated with you guys frustrated with me David marsh also did a 499 super chat earlier I want to make sure I get to all these quick So I commented this a couple times in normal chats. I started being repetitive march third is technically still winter Technically yes, if you want to look at god, what is it? What's the official start of a spring like march 25th or something? I can't I can't remember when the official calendar date I don't I don't think they look at it like that though. I think they look at it as They definitely had with prior releases that they said, oh, it's coming spring of this year. Oh spring of 2019 Okay, it's animal crossing it lands in march like Yeah, I I think they just Soon three could come out on september It probably won't because you know, baby's coming out then but you know Yeah, I mean it could because technically summer leaks into september, but it's all uh I think they look at it more as what month the spring began They consider that part of spring. It's kind of like their fiscal year. It's not a calendar It's not the calendar soon three is coming out in july or august like that that I feel pretty confident in saying unless it's delayed If it's not unless it's delayed. I don't think it'll be delayed. I don't think it'll be delayed The last showing of it looked pretty confident that game's that game's going well I mean they've given they've heard this one. They've given us what three like they've showed off a mode They've showed off a bunch of gameplay. They showed off the town They showed off the beginning of time like when you set your character's hair and eyes and you apparently We have a pet now that you get to set his hair like yeah, they've they've clearly shown that this game is extremely far along We saw more from so two and three in the first trailer than we've seen For all of the stuff we've seen for breath of the wild too March 23rd people are seeing a march 28th. Yeah, it's something like march 20th is the first day of spring Okay, so and again, it could it could release at the end of the march like Kirby, you know Yeah, I also I just I just don't think they're gonna they look at it like that I think anytime in march is is spring for them, but we'll see Um, that's the thing. We'll see. You know, we don't actually know. We just know it's coming in spring Sometime between March and the NMA So there's a thing I think you should be considered it I recently put out a video questioning if this is even the last delay for breath of the wild too I think it is right, but I also thought breath of the wild too would come out this year. So, you know, um, I think it is because I think and this is just a presumption Nintendo's gonna have new hardware next gen 2024 Or at least talk about it in 2024 And they're not gonna want this game They spent 300 million dollars to only have one full year on the market before people are looking to the next they're gonna want almost two And march still gives them kind of that ability to do that now again It'll be up res or whatever for the next platform. I fully expect that They're gonna find a way to repackage and resell it with the dlc or whatever else, but um I do think it's probably the last last delay for the game now zealots have multiple delays before so it's not like This is unheard of But they've never been like this is the first public delay for breath of the wild too. Yeah, there could have been other ones But first public delay internally. I mean I mean, I have a hard time believing they spent the game coming out this late if they showed us a trailer back in 2019 I don't think I do think covet played a big role in this game not coming out probably when they planned Uh, you look at some of the lighter years of 2020 and 2021 You could see where they probably thought breath of the wild was going to be one of the big games Like even even in 2020 start with animal crossing and with breath of the wild. Oh, we don't have that. Well, let's have You know age of calamity like okay, but that's not nearly as big a deal um And maybe it was supposed to be age of calamity then breath of the wild to the following year You know, so there's a whole lot of you're like, oh I don't I almost want to say covet has impacted the development cycle for breath of the wild too Not by one year, but maybe even by almost two. Yeah, I mean it's possible There's a lot that changes when you go from everyone's in the same room To now everyone's at home doing remote Passing files around on a server trying to figure this out Um, they can't you know, they got a zoom call people or whatever app they were using to communicate and Um, you know, it's just by the way, it's not because they don't have excellent internet infrastructure in japan They have like the best internet infrastructure in the world Um, it's just you know, it's just a lot different ideas flow differently When it's just online when you're used to being in person all the time Um, and maybe there's an idea for you This I think you may have talked about I'm actually a number of people I've talked about this but People a lot because you know before it was breath of the wild too was delayed There was a lot of people assuming it would be delayed because it's Zelda Um, yep And and when they announced it it didn't feel like a confident like we're aiming Well, I mean, I mean literally they did do that You you're already putting doubt in our minds. You're not gonna hit Yeah, um, but you know with that Maybe we see something else come out for the holiday beyond what we know Um, the thing that people have alluded to is 3d mario I don't think so. I don't think so either But I I think if we get another 3d mario on the switch and we're getting Zelda early next year, it'll be a holiday title next year It's like their last hurrah title for it. I mean they could hold it back and make it launch They haven't had a lot of success launching platforms of mario game So I'm not sure that they would Want to hold it back, especially if they're still pushing switch sales and especially if they do have You know a switch pro or whatever out there then they're clearly hey 2024 screw that 2027 I have no idea if that system is real and comes out and is just a mid-gen refresh Um, this is what I think the Nintendo's lineup is for this year. I think with breath of the wild too getting delayed um The games we see get announced in conjunction with what we already know for the second half Are a couple remasters. Uh, we see metro prime remake, which may have we might have been coming regardless Yeah, that might have been coming We hope we we've been hearing about oh, it's first the trilogy now It's just metro prime one and nothing's ever been announced and nothing still is announced And we keep seeing obviously What looks like very weird hiders at retro studios over and over again for metro prime four Yeah, maybe some weird reports around that games having problems which Again, I'm not really surprised because anything that retro studios has developed since talking on tropical frees apparently has had problems since the game hasn't come out since then But uh, that doesn't by the way, this doesn't mean metro prime four won't be awesome I think uh, it's become almost a money hole for nintendo and they're going to see it through and they're going to fund it Until it comes out. Not sure it's going to be profitable for them when that's all said and done, but uh You know at this point I think Is going to sell or is going to sell really well. I think it's going to sell really well but Selling really well for metroid Is like selling what kirby's going to sell Um And kirby would had significantly less money spent on it at this point than metro prime four has With a western development studio with high salaries Yeah, but I mean talent they're bringing in. Oh, by the way, they brought in a lot of big talent It's an I think it's an investment though, right? I don't I don't think they're looking at this as a one-off You know, I think this is a I think this is a retooling and a revamping of retro studios as a whole Maybe um, and I think I I'm optimistic. Yeah, you're often I I'm I'm pessimistic as hell about retro studios Um, they lost almost all of their talent almost all of their management And they've been rebuilding and rebuilding and failing to get projects out the door Which I've seen so many western studios go this route once they lose their talent They have a really hard time getting a game out the door Nintendo's refusing to let them get the game that they're working on out the door because it doesn't match the quality of prior releases So, you know, Nintendo. Hey when retro studios brings out a game There's a certain reputation with that we don't want a game coming out if it's not going to meet that reputation, right? But I think um I think Nintendo has done enough to Give us confidence that it's going to be fine. Um One even to your point even though a lot of talent has changed at retro studios Retro studios has a history of always coming out with quality problem is because of that to your point. They probably don't Bring to completion a lot of their ideas because they don't they're not up to snuff Plus but also with how positive metro dredd was taken it would not be good for prime four to come out and disappoint No, I know metro prime four has to be space zelda like that. That's what it has to It's expectations after dredd, especially are just Right. No, and I think I feel pretty good about it to be totally frank with you, but just just to finish my point here Then look at pretty much every project that Nintendo has sort of invested in Uh, they've all panned out Very well Like metro dredd, for example, there was reason to think that maybe that wouldn't be very good But metro dredd is arguably one of the best metro games ever made, right? Um, they did it and that was with a Spanish developer mercury steam which did okay with sarah's returns But before sarah's returns They were working on the castlevania games and there were some of the worst castlevania games ever made, right? So like You know, there was there was cause for concern with that project yet They hit it out of the park, right? Um, I don't understand. It's how but like, you know, curbing the forgotten land Transition to 3d they did it seamlessly Breath of the wild nintendo's first true like modern for ray to open world games They created the best one ever Mario odyssey the first like, you know a return to form for like 3d sandbox marios They hit out of the park, you know But like 3d platforms weren't a thing until odyssey sort of they kind of just like re Resurrected the genre, you know Um, when's the last time retros studios gave us a game that wasn't a side scroller They've only done it given us donkey con country metro prime, so Okay, well, they tend to have a few other games before Way back in the day when nintendo decided to buy them, but um Well, so We haven't had a new 3d game made by retros studios since we which That's a long time ago over a decade ago Yep So like nobby's overseeing the project. We we we've had multiple 3d mario games and 3d zelda games and Maybe not multiple 3d curbie games, but obviously tons of curbie games Like you when we're comparing nintendo's best of the best development studios, which really haven't missed a beat in general Um, we could argue. Well, okay. No zelda's ever sold as well as breath of the wild No, but zelda's been a staple that consistently sells four or five million plus every single time and has been a game They continue to invest in okay Yeah, mario odyssey is one of the best selling marios ever But they've they've had massive mario sales every single generation except for wii u i suppose where I guess mario kart may be the only thing that really sold Probably what they consider to be well besides platoon, which obviously for a new ip on a platform that nobody bought Actually, I think it's like four million. That's crazy On a platform that nobody bought this four million So I think they kind of knew we're on to something. We got to get another one out for switch Um I'm the actual popular platform and see what happens and obviously blew up to like 15 million Um, me yeah prime force new amazing. Don't worry. I I'm sorry. I'm gonna I'm gonna worry Don't most of the team that made the original prime trilogy are not there A lot of the developers they brought on worked on entirely different kinds of games that have nothing to do with metroid So the the rumor is right that the metroid prime remake is also being made by retro studios um, so, you know, I think that's going to go a long ways towards Benefiting the development process for prime four as well Uh, it kind of seems to be following almost like a similar sort of pattern as mercury steam working on stainless returns A remake of a previous 2d metroid to then make the full-on metroid dread right now the timing of it's very different But you know Maybe faith that we restored if the metroid prime remake ever comes out Because again, we've been hearing about remade metroid prime games For five years Before we even knew metroid prime four existed And they still aren't here and they're still not announced Until they actually launch a damn game. That's good I'm not gonna have faith because they we haven't had any things in tropical freeze. That's the fact Nothing since tropical freeze. Nothing 3d since we I need like yeah, you could argue. They've never put out a bad game. You're right They've also never taken this lawn to put a game out So something's wrong something's clearly wrong inside the studio and until I see A game come out that reaffirms Our belief in the studio The way I look at it, I look at it this whole situation as kind of like taking What roger studios was as like a foundation like the company culture and such and totally revamping and basically creating a new sort of studio In texas like that's like that basically I Rebuilding a studio. Yep. Yeah, they're basically just creating a new texas studio with How we know that studio is going to be as good as the old studio because Well, we don't but Most western studios flop When they like new studios that pop up most of them flop I know it's actually kind of If the tenos investing in it, I think it's because they know it's going to be good They will make sure it's good or are they investing in it? They thought this game would have been out a long time ago it's still not out and They're just no the backlash over canceling it would be too big So no, that's gonna be good. Don't worry. You'll see but uh, I hope the point I want to get out though The point I want to get out though, right is that I think the two games that are going to kind of help to Fill up the lineup for the second half of the year Even though it's already a pretty good lineup as it is. There's going to be the Metroid Prime remake remaster And I know there's all the game because we need another Zelda game because we get a Zelda game every every year Um, and I said it before and I think you'll probably agree with me um They the Nintendo's been saving Twilight Princess of Minowak or HD for a rainy day I think this is that rainy day or that rainy year Breath of the Wild 2 has been delayed so there's a good chance that They comes out for Maybe the summertime like late summer or something. We see Twilight Princess of Minowak or HD If not that I honestly that's the only thing I can kind of see because if Breath of the Wild 2 is coming out like March That's not even that much. That's not too far off So like I don't see them coming out with like a 2d Zelda for example Um to hold thing hold us over just for a few months. I don't I don't see that But I could see like a Twilight Princess or Winwick or HD Okay, oh, that's like a four sword sting which is kind of like a smaller project. I could see that so Obviously, you know with the delay, uh, we've had Something Zelda release every year now for like eight nine street years or whatever. It's insane um So it kind of feels like obviously there should be a replacement Zelda something this year. Um, I don't think it's too soon to consider another Warriors game Uh, I don't think they want to do another one until a new mainline Zelda comes out You could argue there could be a 2d Zelda in the works Uh, potentially I would presume by Grezzo who helped me remake Winx Awakening Obviously has worked on Zelda games in the past. Um, they were the main developer on Triforce heroes So they could obviously have a top down when we say 2d we mean top down It's obviously not technically 2d anymore But a top down Zelda game could be in the works and could be ready to go They usually don't take as long to develop gameplay reminiscent of the before the 3d era Yeah, I mean Yeah, but but they never got rid of it during the 3d era either. So like You know It's just top down Zelda. Just call it top down Zelda. That's what it is. It's got that isometric perspective That's just the way it is. Um But okay, I do think there probably is one in the works I think link links Awakening was probably a testing ground for them and it probably I presume Was good enough sales that they were going to say hey, let's let's go forward and keep making these Even if the main Zelda pretty good Yeah, even if the main Zelda team isn't making it I mean, it could be one of the main Zelda directors Working on it to make sure that it fits in line with everything But I don't know that the main Zelda team's doing it because a game a game My Breath of the Wild 2 And games of that ilk if they keep this open world concept You know, even if they don't stick with the breath of wild style to keep open world moving forward I think Nintendo has realized it takes a massive team To do games like this and a lot of money Which Nintendo is usually not the company to do that But then they saw huge returns when they did it So, um, they're obviously going to be a lot more willing to keep doing it moving forward as long as the sales are there So I think the main Zelda team is pretty much an almost always work on the next big console Experience whatever that is Um, at least for the foreseeable future until sales dip or something um But I do think that something Zelda could come out obviously Wind Waker, Twilight Princess HD one Both packaged together independent. I have no idea could come out It's one reason why I actually put this second Wind Waker poster up today In kind of anticipation that it would be kind of neat to see Wind Waker HD kind of dropped I think it looks phenomenal. I think it'll it'll be amazing on the OLED panel Absolutely pop on the OLED panel on the switch OLED. So I think it's a great Summertime sailing kind of game. It could drop between, you know I don't know between uh, marty strikers and switch to three or two and three and bayon out of three It says between three comes out august. I could see it come out on july Yeah, something like that like it could be something that they I don't know when they tease it You could argue or they're just going to wait till you three nothing. No, I think this isn't an elsewhere They'd probably drop before then Um You know unless it's not coming till the fall if it's going to be a fall game like october Okay, fine. Then maybe yeah, then maybe they wait till you three do announce that game coming but um Because a lot of these are these are ports of ports. Like I just don't I don't know if they save that for the holiday Yeah, I mean What's mentioned? I think you want to space out a little bit Between that and Breath of the Wild too. Like I think they want at least half a year So I think summer And again fall at this for zoom that this this is happening. This is coming. We have no idea Um, we've heard rumors for a long time. We've heard Uh reporters like jeff grubb swear by it that these games are done. They're ported. They're ready to go Nintendo's just sitting on them And it's their rainy day But it could also be argued Is it really a rainy day when they already got like seven more major games coming the rest of the year? This feels like such a packed year. Does it really feel like we need a win record or differences? I guess it's more of a appeasing zelda fan kind of thing It's more of a sorry. We delayed here you go And like I almost halfway expected when they announced this delay that they're at the end They're gonna be oh, you know to apologize for the delay. We're gonna be dropping these games, you know coming up here in july Yeah, well, I guess the problem with that is they wanted to focus the update beyond on just the one thing Because at that point you're making almost like a like a mini zelda direct I mean, is it really a mini direct to just say here's a trailer for win record for the cg games that already exist They gave us a breath of the wild to release date and they also gave us a little bit of new footage And then if they also announced two more zelda games coming to switch Dude, do you think those really are gonna overshadow breath of the wild too? I know It's just something in terms of messaging Because this was this this has meant as more of a it's a development update, right? Like it's more of a somber sort of thing. So it's just in terms of messaging But ending a somber thing with something exciting is something nintendo likes to do. Well, that's why they gave us new footage I can argue that. Yeah I mean, we haven't talked to all that much yet, but it's I think um Again, they could release this year. They could not I don't know that breath of the wild needs to be replaced I think there's already a ton of games like 3d mario is great I don't really know where you slide it in there was already a lot of debates on where the hell you slot zelda in considering all the games coming Um, because remember we still don't have release dates for sparks of hope. We still don't have release date for bayonetta 3 Well, some people think those games are getting to lead to like They think but nothing's been announced and we're getting into what the fourth month of the year And nothing's been announced yet. I don't I think we learned I think we're gonna know ad3 Like that's that's pretty much it this june We're gonna get sure we're gonna know and sparks of hope again could be a summer game We're legit like nine what we're like nine weeks away. I think this confirms that gen nine scarlet violet. It's november There's no I don't think there's any debate anymore. That's their big november holiday. Yeah Um, and after that, you know, if you look at what they already have, you know, my chronicles 3 that's september I I presume bayonetta 3 is probably gonna drop in october Um At that point at that point, you know, do we what else do we really need? We're kind of set up We're kind of if you look for like now to them We're kind of set up with almost a massive game whether or not the game like I don't like bayonetta 3 It's not going to be that game that's going to sell 10 million copies But they have a major exclusive game dropping basically every month the rest of the year I also think probably gonna be like another like nintendo ip that will be announced. Um, yeah I mean the big thing like do we know everything coming this year? It's very weird if we could say On march 30th, we know every game coming That's there's no way that's like never happened. It's like never happened I think we probably know the biggest ones, uh, but I could see like me like maybe nintendo announces Like a wave race that comes out. You didn't mention 3d mario and that that's a that's a big boy Yeah, I was throwing that out there. Um, I don't think I don't think it's that You know that's a pretty big one to just kind of like Is it is it conceivable? I think it's conceivable, but I don't and now they got to consider they got to re-slot in Advanced wars 1 plus 2 reboot camp that's gonna get re-slotted in at some point when the war is over It's gonna be whatever the war is over and they're really gonna wait that long to Is it gonna be that long? I mean the whole reason they didn't release it's because of the war So I would presume as long as the war is going on. They're not gonna do it What if it I mean, I don't want to I know war is a tough thing. We obviously would wish it just be Yeah, but I don't we want to like kind of address it because it maybe it could come off as insensitive, right? But like, you know, sometimes wars can last god forbid but they can last for years, right? So like you just not release the game I don't think It's tough. I don't I don't think you do that Um, it's tough and I think I think the next Call of Duty game is going to be facing a lot of the same questions Even on a bigger scale because it's such a big war based game Um, and by the way, I don't even know if there's going to be Call of Duty coming out this year So they might be able to skirt the whole issue this year anyways, um, but It's it's very interesting times we're in with any sort of war like game any sort of military like game It's wish for the best don't don't like seeing people die. It's just dumb Yeah So but besides that which again, we don't know when that's coming. I've always said Maybe 2023 is a safer time to maybe think that they might bring that out Maybe it's candle together and then you end up feeling really bad for the devs that that we're tired to get it to come over but we'll see um I do think though that there are so many big games this year. They don't have to announce anything this year Well, what's actually kind of exciting At least to me with so many big games known Like when we get e3 and we get the september direct or whatever we whatever happens moving forward whatever nintendo drops their next big news dump Kind of feels like we need to hear about 2023 games because Yeah, like we know Well, okay. We need to advertise this year's games. Absolutely Blow us out. You know, it's you know, we all know it's even by critical three It's going to have its own dedicated 45 minute direct where they tell us way too much about the game because that's what they've done with every zeno play Um, so like we there's going to be advertising campaigns and things in place that are going to push each of these games Sands a big general direct where it kind of feels like the big general directs They'll they'll they'll are they going to give us our I don't I think the tunnel is done with I could obviously I could be wrong I think it depends on the game, but They've I haven't seen any major like games of directs recently like they didn't do one for kirby They didn't do one for metroid dread They didn't do one for brilliant damage shining pearl like they have like overview trailers They kind of do the same thing, but they're shorter and more bite-sized so not full-scale directs Um, yeah, well, I mean a lot of that was under prior management We also like covet kind of hard stop directs at all together. I don't know. I just I think my opinion I think the game specific directs. Well, I'm not saying they're gone. I'll get it depends on the game Like send like animal crossing we got we had a monster hunter specific direct That was just last year. Sure I mean, I was a third party game, but it was still technically labeled at a direct officially on nintendo's channel I don't know. So I don't know if they're gone. I think they're just not going to be happening as frequently It's going to be saved for like very specific games Like I could see zelda having one because zelda's had one before I could see Um, you know, I don't know gen 9 is going to need one But they do so many specific pokemon events that are just about pokemon and gen What they do is that they just kind of they just give you news for pokemon like every week Meeting up to the release. It's like it's just a non-stop flow, which is great for pokemon fans Unless you don't want to get spoiled that you'll just you learned a little bit Pokemon fans, you kidding me? Everyone's waiting until they get data mines. They get analyzed every every like not everyone There are people that get mad about the data mine leaks I mean like yeah, I personally prefer to play my pokemon games and discover new species while I'm In it, but that's just not what happens. But Yeah, zelda breath a lot too. It's coming next year Um, my excitement level never went anywhere. I was always hyped. I'm going to continue to be hyped They showed us new footage, which to me that was a confidence move um Given us that little snippet when they've never done that delay in a zelda game before and then literally saying spring not 2023 You know, um, and then showing that footage is like no, we're confident like this thing's landing spring next year It's happening. Don't worry about it. Here's some more footage just to kind of show you that we know what the hell we're doing We need more development time because of the vastness of the world and it's not just the world It's also the mechanics and the this and the that without really explaining and like how they confirmed a lot of speculation I'm pretty sure we've talked about but I've definitely had this speculation that like it's that they are expanding Hyrule beyond just the skies and the land itself like there's more to it That's an implication of underground exploration, you know, which could line up with that whole duality idea They're under underwater exploration, perhaps parallel universes, you know Perhaps the upper like atmosphere or stratosphere of the world So it's almost space-like like there's so many different things they could do in terms of Expansion and then literally you could just expand the borders They could just go beyond the literal map Like there's a lot of different things they could do because like in Breath of the Wild you see Land in the background you see islands in the background and if you look at the map for Zelda 2 Technically the Hyrule usually explore is just a small portion of the entire world. So From a lower perspective, there's tons of land there. They could totally utilize Assuming they don't just like, you know, create this new lander or retcon it like they can they can do that too um, so, you know, that was exciting to see and as you also noted like They didn't just talk about like in terms of world but also like mechanics and gameplay Functionalities like what could that be right like we've seen the patents for like Link having different maneuvers in the sky And we've seen like the the vertical phase through terrain jump and then we already know about the the time pausing Stasis object thing and we have to assume it's going to be more right like and yet yet all those things Had can have tremendous Sort of applications and effects on the physics engine, which was already pretty sophisticated And all of these things can stack and create a myriad of more Potentialities right like it kind of it has an exponential effect. You know what I mean? um And then what happens is Zelda in certain scenes is using the Sheikah slate and suddenly you can interact also with the Crap she's doing with the Sheikah slate And now you have to consider all the old shit with the new shit and having it work together This is also we don't know about we don't know about because the sheikah slate hasn't gone And hence the six gear development cycle. Yeah, because it's all but making sure the physics engine doesn't explode Um, that'd be sweet though. Like that's the edge in exploding but just the possibilities like I know that it's very little words and it's hard to read into it, but like Mr. Ayanoma, he feels like he's super confident about this game that like this is the biggest thing we've ever done You thought we did big no This I think this is beyond. Yeah I think that that kind of also goes into the whole waning excitement thing because It it's going to take a lot To really like outdo Breath of the Wild, right? Like when we got Breath of the Wild, it was this big fresh new thing And what we've seen so far just kind of looks like more of the same Save for the sky stuff. So, you know, I think with Nintendo and what they're doing like, yeah, they're taking a really long time But I think the idea is While they're they are having a literal longer development cycle than the original when it should have been shorter considering they were using it as a base What it suggests is that They are going above and beyond to make this the kind of game that doesn't suffer from sequelitis that actually Breaks new ground and is a it feels like a fun new experience and is refreshing They haven't shown us enough of that to confirm that kind of feeling that To me we haven't seen a lot of gameplay. It's mostly just been links running Okay Looks great looks great running new costume new long flowing locks like cool looks nice now, uh Are there dungeons? No idea. Well, I'll say actually on the note of the note of dungeons. Um, let me tell you something I this is my idea The master sword's wrecked And I'm probably it feels like it's fair to just assume that ganondorf or whatever that is probably ganondorf Just completely annihilated link Hand which had the sword and they just got wrecked, right? And so the basic plot or of the game or your goal part of your goal Is to restore the master sword so you can combat ganondorf There's also that you can't beat him now Glowing on his back, which is like what it did in skyward sword when fee was talking to you Yeah, there's also is that back which is already speculated because fee was referencing the point I was getting at though but The point I was getting at though is with the need to restore the master sword How has that usually been done in other Zelda games going to different temples and dungeons? So it may be the case then in order to restore the master sword or repair it In income dungeons from series past and that's kind of how they they incorporate that idea and bring them back I think that's that's one way they can go about it I think some zelda players are waiting for that crazy moment In our trailer like oh fallen from the sky crazy moment But what's so different about this compared to what we were already doing? We haven't seen it yet Um one crazy moment could be hey, we did see those patents That that that falling through the sky aero combat. That's in the patents sounded amazing But we haven't seen it crazy And I feel like Nintendo knows if this is in the game showing that and obviously making this work sounds super complex from a development standpoint Um, but if they make that work and they show that when they show it That's going to be like one of those gameplay moments where it's like are you kidding me Okay, this is not so the wild Yeah, it's one of those things and it's I feel like they're holding back. They're holding back. They're holding back They're teasing some ideas. Okay. We got a couple new mechanic ideas replacing some of the sheikah slate ideas. Okay, we got um You know, we got this crazy sky thing links looks different his arm is messed up We're kind of teasing story stuff, but not really telling you enough Speculate away glowing symbol on his hand. Oh my gosh. Are they stealing ideas from xeno blade? Like there's all this stuff floating out there which Is crazy But it's all speculative because they're just not giving you enough to put it together yet And then on top of that They haven't given us the shocking gameplay yet And I feel like and to be fair. We didn't have the shocking gameplay either until Nintendo was ready to blow the game out at e3 2016 That's when we got the shocking wait a second. This is crazy physics all the stuff stuff We didn't know we didn't know those right now physics. Let me let me give you a scenario Until let me give you a scenario. You're ready. Yeah ready. I'll give you I'll give you a scenario. Okay, here we go So e3 is gonna come and we're gonna get like an actual gameplay We're gonna get we're gonna see like straight clean gameplay or breath of the wild to that e3 and what's gonna happen, it's gonna basically like just show link entering some sort of face and You're gonna be fall it's gonna end up being like a giant sky battle and there's gonna be some giant Maybe that giant tower we see in the trailer right and at least fall links to the sky and what he's fighting is a giant mammoth monstrous like dragon beast and you just like It's you know, it's like shallow colossus style But all through the sky Link is like maneuvering the sky doing back flips backward arrow shots different things All dynamically seamlessly You see hair and follicles and particles just flying everywhere And it's just gonna be this huge beautiful set piece But it's all gonna be gameplay And that's gonna that's gonna be they're not gonna show the boss die But they're gonna show that kind of happen and it's just gonna be kind of mind boggling I mean That I honestly think there's gonna be a moment here before the game comes out Where they're gonna blow our minds with something crazy like that It's gonna be like look you thought you knew Breath of the Wild before now now look at this This is beyond anyone's expectations anyone's imagination beyond ours And I think it's gonna happen. I don't I know it would be You know, I try to be careful and thinking to crazy ideas like that because like okay now I'm really over hyping myself over expecting from the game. Is it fair to expect this from the game? Um, but also at the same point. Hey, it's been a long time. It's been development a long time We have patents showing crazy air combat It would really suck if those patents and that aero mechanics ended up not actually getting put in the game because it was too complicated Or switches processor couldn't handle it or whatever Whatever the reasoning is I think instead of not putting in those ideas. They delay the games so they can't put in those ideas I mean, maybe I I don't know like like this. So this is all uncharted territory for zelda because they've never had a game this big With this big of expectation ever Like expectation for majority's mass back in the day was not this big Um expectations for you know, spirit tracks following a phantom artist not this big Um, there were bigger expectations for what was coming next after twilight princess And then that then pretty much anything until this and now we have the best selling zelda game of all time Still selling millions and millions every year at full price Um, you know game of the year one of the most One of the most nominated and highest awarded game of the year game in history And now we have a sequel to it The expectations are just already at a level that nintendo. I don't think's even used to like this is It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be interesting and oh by the way Mr. Anuma with a clean cut doesn't I like it Business that was literally the first thing I noticed. I was like, whoa This dude got a haircut. He's looking different. I'm like, I'm like wait a second Is this representative because like in the past he always had the crazy long hair and now it's like oh wait a second Is this like a sign for how to approach this game clean cut Craziness about to happen. I'm business casual. We're taking this to the next level. You don't even know You don't even know what's about to happen. No, we really don't anuma. Can you Tell okay, you can't right okay next year. I get it let other games get marketing But also we all know it's coming spring So now you have no reason to really not give us trailer teases at major events for the rest of the year We'll see I don't think they're gonna like spend all year advertising it But I could see e3 return at the game awards and then the spring direct is really the big They could have an insane e3 like they can do so much right like they can give us It's like some extended gameplay of rest of the wild too They could Reveal metric primary make but then give us like a five second snippet of prime four saying 2023, right? And you know, obviously need to tail everything else No, you're making me get hard. This this is not okay. Oh, okay. Well, I'm not sure you might want to stop I'm a little uncomfortable now Yeah, um, I didn't know video game talk could make me feel this way I Nintendo man Nintendo only Nintendo games only Nintendo. Yeah But I I don't think what I said is like that crazy. Oh, no Um, like it's gonna the game is gonna get shown off sooner or later They did put that banner art for for Metroid on retros page. Like I think they are Getting ready to show something off. They seem pretty that banner art kind of made a confident Hey, you're gonna see this before not to mention to your point They are gonna have to start talking about 2023 stuff, right? So you give us prime four You give us breath of the wild two, you know Maybe pick been four comes out next year Something mario's coming out. Yeah I mean, it's all about, you know, how long do we think the current life cycle is gonna last Because Nintendo tends to like just stop making games at some point when the new system is gonna come At least that's what history says. They don't have to do that cross gen compatibility The others platform holders are handling it just fine doing cross gen for a couple years Nintendo doesn't have to just cut off support for switch like they've done with prior platforms and maybe they won't Maybe they won't this time. So they'd be like, oh pick before it doesn't matter It could be a cross gen or this could be a cry like it might not matter, but Nintendo's history says We're gonna have a year that has almost nothing you get paper mario color splash That's your big game. Well, that was covid that was that that's that's that wasn't covid that was that was we use final year That was the last. Oh, I thought you were talking about origami king. No, not origami king. No, origami king was fine It was better than color splash. Yeah origami king was epic. Um Yeah, it was way better way better than colors like color splashes different These are these are different times, right? Like so And that was weird too because they also canceled the system before we got the holidays without a system to sell Then we got the nest classic that was like they're filling for sale. Yeah Nintendo knew what they were doing clearly. They're like, oh, we're not gonna sell that Let's sell something else people might actually want. Oh, and that's classic. Yeah, people are gonna want that Let's sell millions of why they they came out at march 3rd. They came out early on the year Yeah, so they could have that switch so we'll see all that get rolling Yeah, so I want to get to the next topic here because we got about 30 minutes here before we're done um And this is interesting because uh, obviously nintendo america has had sort of an exodus of employees Since they closed down their, um, offices in california So people don't know they had nintendo america has offices their main office in redmond washington Everyone knows about that. It's a public address You can literally go visit the outside of it if you want take your picture at the nintendo sign Nintendo actually try sneaking in You won't get in there's a pretty good security there Apparently also a really nice garden and a whole bunch of other stuff that you're only ever going to see if you get invited to come in Sometimes you could schedule a tour they do do tours But very specific times on specific days But yeah, do you um, they also had offices in california and a lot of their employees at nintendo america A lot of the front facing that we saw their beautiful faces all the time tree house employees a lot of them actually worked at california Because that's just This the mecca of technology or whatever you people try to talk like it is well nintendo decided to close those offices And they were not firing anybody. This is the key thing They didn't close the offices with the intent to fire anybody They were going to relocate all the employees to redmond watching your footage is not showing on the stream Hey, my camera died Well, it's funny is that I see you. Oh, but I do have a different angle Yeah, yeah, you're doing using a different camera the backup camera. Hold on Yeah, you know what happened guys my camera probably overheated. Remember how I said I need a new camera. This is why Perhaps he simply has evolved perhaps now Nate has transformed into just a mass of darkness And it's just all encompassing power Hence the black screen Or he just reset his camera. It's fine Yeah, see him back now. Yeah, it's a again. It's an overheating problem. We already know we know um So, uh one issue, uh, that that's obviously happened with all those employees going away Um, or deciding to leave because they didn't want to move um is kit and krista from nintendo minute they uh You know they they left obviously that's why the show ended up being cancelled as we found out when they left nintendo right after the show got got uh Canned because they ended it and started a new podcast and they've been appearing on on podcasts and doing interviews In fact, I might reach out to them eventually to see if they might want to Stop on over and have a little conversation about their time at nintendo Um, I don't expect them to respond by the way I don't I'm not so presumptuous to think that I matter in the world of kitten krista. They got their own thing Going on with tons of support, uh, but they kit um Decided to speak out Against nintendo On some things give some honest thoughts as he calls them now that he no longer works there And you know has to sort of keep his mouth shut because of course you want to protect your job and not speak out against the company By the way, he doesn't say anything super negative if you listen to any of the new stuff The most of their experiences at nintendo are positive But this has to do with nintendo switch online And it's kind of funny because obviously if he feels this way I'm sure a lot of other employees at least at nintendo of america probably also echo these thoughts Uh, whether or not they voice them. I don't know, but i'm really glad that now that he doesn't work there He can voice his thoughts on nintendo switch online. And here's what kit said This is where I have an issue I think giving people an indication of what the plan is and this is in regards to releasing games in the future The platform helps and by the way technically we got an update right as the podcast was started on new games coming It was kind of funny that we're doing this topic Then nintendo teases us, but they were doing this while they were there too. So He says like how often am I going to be getting these? I think the initial nes and super nintendo games those were awesome groups of games But then everything after that has been kind of bad for the most part and it became very inconsistent So it's like they are basically done with this versus the stuff they dug up And i've never heard of yeah, so that's what I get worried about where they added n64 and genesis It's like what is the plan? I have almost more confidence that sega is going to deliver the best genesis games Then I do with the other platforms and he's regarding like n64 Super nintendo game boy, whatever else might be coming. He doesn't have any confidence that nintendo is going to deliver consistent quality games um And then uh He goes on to talk about how also nintendo switch online lacks appeal for younger fans because The people that care about old games are the ones that grew up with them Fair very interesting. It's like a talent point. Yeah, he goes on to say This is just me if I was working at nintendo, which is funny because he was working at nintendo But uh, yeah, I think he's saying if he was in the position to make the decisions Um, right He says I would love to get something newer because this stuff is old and if you're a younger player You're like, what is this? Why would I want to play ice hockey on the nintendo entertainment system? That means nothing to me a lot of those nes games are like early early nes games that belong in a museum Really going which by the way, I mean, they should probably be in a museum to be to be completely fair there And then krista the other co-host of their podcast added in That it's just hard to get a handle on what i'm getting at and this is from krista So I think it would help if they did something and were more transparent about what the plan is for each of these tiers basically Echoing the complaints. This is what I what I like about this is they're echoing the complaints. I had about transparency Not communicating. We have no idea how to long to expect getting games for what platforms we're getting them for What games we're going to be getting? Um, and in addition to that, you know krista Did mention this one's there's no direct quote here, but she did mention how she does think maybe adding some newer platforms They've never done before it could help like people that grew up in the early 2000s might remember the game cube So maybe adding something like that to the Service could help a little bit But I I do think you know There's some good points here Um, and these are from people that worked for nintendo and I have nothing but great things to say Except for this where they're like, hey There's no really appeal for younger fans And you want them to spend all this money? Um, you know, they just you know, they're just maybe turning just out of their first jobs Just turning early 20s. They don't have memories with the SNES Even the n64 Sure, you can argue those games are amazing as I can I grew up with them but My kids don't really have a lot of interest in retro games despite me introducing them to them when they can go play something more modern That's an hd and runs better and gives them more freedom of control And to them they're just better games Um, which I know that's all subjective, but that's just the way people feel the things they grow up with are the things They think are the best and People didn't grow up with these if you're younger, so Where I mean, I haven't gone back Personally, um, I've gone back and played Uh, uh older games that were before my time Uh, especially on the wii u although on the wii u there wasn't a lot of gaming options So, you know playing super nintendo and nes games was A good idea, you know, that's where I made sure to get my my super metroid and linked the past in among a Field a lot of other games like that um, so I personally don't feel that way, but i'm also like i'm a nintendo youtuber, right? I've made part of my Life-ly occupation to make content about nintendo. So for me You know when I did that that to me that was almost more like, you know Kind of studying up on the history of nintendo by literally playing older games Sure So and so I understand i'm kind of like the exception, right? Yeah, you wouldn't be like the average consumer My no, yeah. Yeah. So I I do acknowledge that um And I do kind of like the idea of maybe they do need to be a bit more creative And think of other ways to continue to add value Um, and you know, they're they're doing this dlc thing We got the animal crossing at the Mario Kart and those those dlc packages appeal more towards a modern audience, right? um But is that enough? I don't know. I do like the idea of them coming up with maybe an exclusive That new nintendo online game You know, what would that be? Now, maybe it's one of those things where like you don't have maybe wouldn't okay When I say exclusive maybe you can buy it on its own or if you have nintendo online to get it for free, right? nintendo online plus Uh one or the other that way you don't have to get it But it they create something like that some sort of online only centric game Not swatoon, by the way We wouldn't how crazy would that be if they announced that swatoon 3 was for free if you have nintendo online expansion back That would be mind boggling wouldn't it? I mean that's doing what sony refuses to I don't know. It's just a single game. But still I mean, that's crazy Pre-orders just for have have pre-orders between three come up yet Yeah, you can pre-order it Okay I'm just saying like I mean they're not gonna not sell it, but it's uh It's an interesting concept since it is a game that requires you to have nintendo switch online basically to do anything I think it would have to be something smaller But you know like imagine if they were to come up with maybe a new rusty's real deal baseball Sure, or what if like what if they resurrect starfox as like kind of like a You know online only dog fighting kind of thing and it's it's you can buy it online on the e-shop Or you can get it for free if you have nintendo online expansion pack Yeah, all right because I can dig it and all of a sudden you have that other audience It's it's it reaches a larger group of people. I mean you mean don't do mario 35 and then delete the game You can do that. I mean It's like let's add some value and then just delete it and not replace it with anything Or or give mario bring mario 35 back, but for expansion pack members Yeah, and nintendo brings up an interesting point. You know that splatoon dlc will probably be free with the expansion pack Probably we'll see. I'm very curious to see I agree probably one of the big value adds for people who don't care about classic games is the dlc and Is this a trend or will it just always be select dlc added like are they going to start adding all dlc To the expansion pack was interesting. I think when they made the the announcement for expansion pack They didn't even announce that dlc would be free the animal crossing news came out Through words if i'm not mistaken, right? Yeah, and then they did the mario kart thing like I think you know people like you and me Speculated they would do more things Um after the initial announcement, but they didn't to to the point of I guess Kidding krista like they didn't do a good job of hey of telling us. Hey, there's gonna be more cool things to come here Yeah, like an example if they're gonna add more dlc. Let's say and I mentioned the board if the if the idea was All future dlc will be available through this expansion pack from any of our first party studios. Okay. That's a really great idea But they're also not doing that either right, but they're not well, we don't know But let's think every dlc announced since they released the expansion pack, which I know it's only been two is on there Paid dlc. Yeah paid dlc. Yeah, obviously the free dlc free dlc. You're not gonna need right I'm trying. I'm just trying to think if we have I guess we just have I mean it would have to be what we haven't had if curbie gets new dlc announced. Will that be on there? I have no idea Like yeah dread has free dlc. So, you know, yeah like platoon 3 is the one that everyone presumes There'll be some sort of paid dlc because we have paid dlc for the prior. Maybe nintendo switch sports Yeah, maybe nintendo switch sports. I mean they're adding two new sports. I think for free for free Yeah, paid dlc will be till next year for that Yeah Or sports or something So it'll be I mean it'll be chronicles 3 will obviously have dlc But that won't be till next year like a lot of this is we won't know till next year because most the game's coming this year Their dlc would be next year So a lot of it's going to be like we don't really know because we're too far away from when the dlc for these games Is going to come out unless we think metro dread is going to get paid dlc at some point That could be something I don't I don't think so either legends argues We end up getting paid dlc that could get announced to some Also is not first party Yeah, um Well, that's not even worth arguing like It says second party, but it's like not even a real thing, but um and nintendo technically owns like a huge chunk of the studio that It's first party and they work It's published by nintendo. Yeah, it's published by nintendo It's it's it's first it's like I don't it's first party. It's just So what like they're sony and microsoft studios it really it really doesn't matter to be completely honest It really doesn't matter, but I always clarify first party's holding nintendo owned and it's not holding nintendo owned That makes it second party third party as nintendo doesn't own anything second party's party ownership So yeah, um, but then again sometimes it gets a little messy because like sometimes nintendo helps to publish third party stuff on switch To right. Yes, but when they do that as I'll give an example here pay another three Ten was publishing that game. They paid for the game to be made It kind of makes that game a second party game made by a third party studio Because they don't actually own the ip sega owns the ip Yeah, so it's a really like I think the lines are a lot clearer than people make your camera overheated But again by the way it's not going to cool down until the stream is over. So we just the show goes on I mean the show goes on. We got like what 15 years left anyway. The show goes on so um so like I I just don't find it fascinating because these are obviously two beloved former nintendo employees in front of people every single week on nintendo Minute now doing their own podcasts and they're kind of like hey when we were at nintendo We didn't like that they weren't transparent these complaints people have about switch online We kind of agree they're not really doing enough for people that don't like classic games And like the people that do like classic games they kind of blow their load when they launch it And then they give you a bunch of games that you don't care about later And they don't tell you even when you're going to get those games Example like even today the march games right note march game No n64 game in this There is earthworm jim 2 for the uh super nintendo there is dig or dig good g Trouble in paradise by bandit napko for the nests and there is mappy land also for the nests And that's what we're getting this month and again nothing wrong with adding these games And I happen to actually like earthworm jim 2 Those are the base nintendo online updates right this i'm not expansion pack so I mean it says march game updates Yeah, I just I don't I guess that's march I guess maybe they drop what I'm trying what I'm trying to say that I think So that was always going to be separate from expansion pack announcements Yeah, april april could still have obviously games because this was this was today So I think they but shadow what I'm trying to get is that they've they've just a shadow drop the n64 announcements But no not a shadow drop, but they just kind of They just announced that hey we're coming out with this in a few weeks enjoy right so I don't know um I'll wait till neat comes back, but what was the last n64 game that came out because Bandicozooie No, zero x and zero x just came out Dig dug as you're actually not like as your ex just came out like what like two weeks ago Has been a little bit more than that already I don't remember Yeah, and as I said these to be fair this does sound a little bit better because it was a shadow drop today Um, so this isn't like announcing games for april Um, but still it was also Shadow drop today We didn't know we were getting these It's cool I don't know I I'd find it fascinating the nintendo players are speaking out and obviously I agree with them because they just pretty much echoed Every criticism I've had of this online service. No transparency No consistency And I didn't even think about the angle. Hey If you don't like classic games, why the hell are you paying for this service? Yeah, but you know, I I do want to say that I think nintendo has actually been doing a better job with the expansion pack Because they have been coming out with good n64 games with some consistency Um, there's a hope that maybe golden eyes part of that lineup in the future. We'll see that's unconfirmed Let me ask you something. They are also patching the emulation, right? The emulation has been getting better Uh, so and then, you know, they recently did announce the mario kart DLC as free like these are all things They make the package better Like they are making steps here and we're only what we're in march and we've gone all these things already That's pretty good. How long when they dropped the nest and SNES did they consistently release games every month? Because we've been down this I don't know Holy frank with you. I didn't care too much about them Yeah, it was it was about nine months that they consistently after launch dropped and we're still within that nine month window Like the point I like the reason I don't give nintendo credit for the game drops is because They did this before they just launched a new system on there Of course, they're gonna have a game a month and a game all month's already less than what we used to get We used to get three four games a month Now it's just one now granted Who did just get a shadow drop of three games now and genesis games are just being randomly dropped just completely around There's no consistency. I want genesis games come It will however when the genesis games come they drop like 10 of them at once Now, I don't know if the nintendo is even handling that sega could be the one Dealing with their own games on the switch. I have no clue because I don't Um, I have not partaken. I and in the genesis games yet on switch Um, have you have you played them yet on switch? Yeah, I've played a few of them. Do they have online play with them? Like the n64 ones do have they they do Um, I think most of them are two player, but uh, yeah, that's the way genesis was by then It was all two players. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so they got so I haven't done it Okay, yeah, because that wasn't a feature back in the day So I wanted to know if they were getting the same treatment obviously as Nintendo's games and they are uh, so that's good. It's good. They're they're doing that um So, yeah, I I I'm not saying the service isn't better than it used to be it has n64 and genesis games now That already makes it better Even though it's an expansion pack They have now a second pack of dlc and they're not just animal crossing technically that makes it better That makes it more valuable Yeah, it's ongoing dlc too, right? It's not until 2023. Yeah, um, yeah Which means they could argue they're trying to lock you in for two years And if all you cared about was the mario kart dlc They actually dinged you for more than the cost of the mario kart dlc On its own but that's neither here nor there because if you have mario kart, you're probably gonna play online anyways, right? Yeah, but then again, it's like 80 bucks a year for a single and then That's a hundred like you could just buy the dlc You don't get it just to have to get the mario kart dlc Yeah, well, you wouldn't get the expansion pass for it, but you could see where someone might go Hey, I need to have online anyways. Why not get the expansion pass? It gives me people aren't always as smart as we want them to be And they'll buy the dlc now because it's it's they'll get the expansion pass now because they get it for the next year Not realizing that at the end of that year if they don't renew they lose access To that dlc like it's like a realization that hits them And I know this because I've seen a lot of people complain about this when nintendo has been transparent about that part by the way Very transparent. It's part of the paid expansion pass if you don't pay for it anymore. Obviously don't have access it's like common sense, but You know, I don't think that realization is going to hit some younger people who make rash decisions, which Anyone can make rash decisions. I've made rastations. I spent 10 grand on a studio When I don't even have 100,000 subscribers and I've only had one year ever on youtube where I've made over 10 grand Doesn't sound like a smart choice So we all make rash decisions one way or another this camera was like an emergency purchase and it was literally the wrong camera since it overheats So Yeah, I'm dumb And I think if I'm dumb then a lot of people can be dumb. They'll be wasting a lot of money right now But we'll see I I think random random thing. I just want to say yeah, just a thought that's my mind You go. I'm gonna shut up for the next uh next eight minutes. It's all you. Oh, it's too much pressure I was just gonna say that Again, this is like not even like a gaming thing I believe that Most people no pretty much everyone Is not as smart as you might think they are but on the flip side No one is really as dumb as you think they are right. I think everyone's actually a lot closer Than we realize Yeah, now everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, right? Uh, but I just think oftentimes sometimes people will see someone and think man They're just like incredibly smart and brilliant. I can't compare to that But sometimes the difference is very subtle to get to that point It's not even just as intelligent with sports too Sometimes the difference between a great team and a bad team is a subtle thing, you know And it can make a huge difference Like not bashing like not bashing your head coach in an interview after you just lost a tight game at home Sorry Joellen bead You know, I don't know how well that works for team chemistry heading into the postseason to disagree with your head coach If I can it can potentially create issues. Yes, could could potentially I mean the thing the funny thing is too with that reference because I'm a big NBA fan guys is that uh My my team's the Milwaukee Bucks and our coach used to get attacked all the time for being a bad coach bad rotations Bad this bad that um, and now he doesn't get attacked for anything because he won a title um But the entire time that was happening the Bucks best player yana said I hear what you're saying You want me to cover Kevin Durant? You want me to do this? You want me to do that? I will do what coach tells me to do And he just backed up the coach the entire time To be fair, I did it with Jason kid as well Jason kid got fired because there wasn't success and chances are coach Bubba would be fired if there wasn't success either So it's not like this would preclude doc rivers from getting fired However, your best chance at success is buy in to what the coach is selling And the coach would get himself fired if he needs to be fired So I kind of think they're pissing away their playoff chances this year which For philly fans. I feel you the process Feels like it's still ongoing I don't know. I mean there's ups and downs right like he just were in the for first and they just I wanted a four game losing streak like, you know, yeah ups and downs We'll see Miami had a stranglehold and then they lost a bunch and who knows um Yeah, by the way, I think Miami's still gonna be fine. I think Miami we will be okay if they can avoid the nets We have no idea where the nets are finishing Think nobody wants to play the nets around one I'm okay with it I have the perspective of if you're gonna be the best you should be able to beat everyone Oh, yeah, that's where the bucks were like the bucks didn't avoid Miami last year Even though Miami's been the team that gave them the most problems in the full season They said screw it. We're gonna keep winning and if we play and we play him My ideal scenario the heat because they're my team. Um, they play the nets then they play Philly and then they play the bucks Yeah, like I want them to have the toughest and then they play the suns at the end Like I want them to have the toughest road to the championship That sounds like the bucks the bucks played non-stop playoff teams for like the next all the way to the end of the season It's crazy. I mean they got the nets on thursday and they got I can't remember it's a whole it's a bunch of top tier the the Celtics right after that That's gonna be it's gonna be a fun end of the year It's it's actually kind of cool Like is the NBA fan this time of the year is exciting when your team is vying for playoff position and plays a bunch of like top tier teams because it I just think it's interesting that we're talking about basketball preps you for the playoffs That's fine, dude. I you're lucky. I didn't flip this script like in like one minute in and we just talked about basketball for two hours You you guys have no no clue how bad I want to start a sports podcast I've been literally debating this with Eric now for like five years Um, hasn't happened. We'll see if it ever does. I don't know what people really care what I have to say about sports anyways, but um Well, I do want I don't really care about what you said about video games, you know Yeah, the difference is I built up a reputation Since I was 12 at fansites that kind of gave me a kickstart on an audience So I've been doing it a lot longer whereas I have have not existed At all in the sports area to garner a following for sports So it's kind of like do I have enough people who listen to this that would want to listen to that to justify doing it Probably not And can I build a new audience in a field that I'm not experienced in? I have no idea I did it here, but I've been doing this since I was 12 and I'm now 35 Is it going to take me 20 years to To build that audience, you know, it's kind of like a I don't know it'd be something I mostly do for fun. It would it would not be as dedicated as this is because uh obviously, um There's actual stakes and money and my family involved with this whereas not with that um that being said um I think that's a I think that's a pretty good rap. I know you said you got what four Zelda videos coming out or ideas for videos There could be more. Um, it's I mean we've touched we've touched on them, right? We touched on them like, you know, I'm probably going to talk about what could be Nintendo's other game for this year if there even will be one um There's kind of all the theories that come from just the footage we got like that's A whole bunch right there There are things That's at least that's at least two videos right there, but there's more So yeah, yeah, it'll be uh It'll be interesting. I look forward to those videos. You're one of the few youtubers. I actually watch every video um It also helps you don't post as many videos as I do because then I probably wouldn't watch them I'm a I'm a little insane. Um, but uh, I usually want I usually watch your channel for news Why thank you, sir Yeah, I haven't really besides the zelda news. I haven't really posted much news this week. It's been a bit of a weird week But all that has been the news I'll be back at at posting some other news tomorrow guys. I already have a few things Banked up what we're talking about tomorrow doing a normal video on the normal set Um, anyways, all right. Well, thank you so much. I'm just restart for coming on the show I really do appreciate it. You're always a pleasure to have you on the show um, especially someone who can make me shut up because People get mad at me a lot When I have guests on that just are afraid to talk because I'm talking and you're always like And I'm like, all right. I'm done You like to talk a lot. I know I gotta share the talk I get the criticism I get it. All right. I'm aware of it I'm aware of it I've told eric when he's here.

Um, well, thanks everyone for tuning in you guys are awesome The you audience are awesome makes for understanding. Obviously, um, I do apologize for maybe feeling a little agitated I wasn't agitated towards you guys earlier. We talked about this. It was just the audio issues Um, me being frustrated because of course things were working and then they weren't and then of course Not andrew's resource fault that he didn't tell me I saw another good robot on his end But uh, I don't blame him for that So it's all me. It's all people in the chat if if we sounded okay, and everyone said it was cool I was like, all right. Maybe it changed. That's the thing at the very beginning I said, I hope we're sounding fine and then everyone then I saw like five people go. Oh, yeah, you sound good. You sound good and I'm like Cool, let's just go then. I might even worried about it.
