 to the Nintendo Prime podcast season two episode 43. We got a almost packed show tonight for shame, Darren, for committing and then uncommitting last moment. That's all right, though, because we got Mike Odyssey up in here. How's it going, buddy? That's going on. Glad to be back. I'll just restart is here. Oh, no. Oh, Mike, Mike, Mike already froze because he made the bubbles up here. The balloons. I can do it, too. Look, I can do it, too. You're not the only one that can make things. Oh, yeah, yours work. Well, I am running off, you know, a Mac specced out Mac Studio over here. Yeah, just makes your computer freeze. I mean, they're struggling to chug along. I got the M2 Pro Max. Is it a studio or is it just a laptop? That's a Mac mini. That's the Mac mini. Yes, I still perform it. Yes. Yes. I can even do cool things like this. Let's go. Come on. Bring it up. Yeah, we're rocking. We got Jake Randall over there. Hey, what's up? How was it when you do this? I figured them all out, but I'll let you know, Mark. I think Eric Moore, by the way, is feeling much better and actually has color in his face. This means I know, right? I probably could have turned off the color correction. He probably could have. Anyways, we're going to have to talk about some Mario wonder stuff this week because obviously he came out last week. Oh, I'm assuming all of us at least got a chance to play it. And if not, well, it sucks to be you. I guess you could just not talk to him on that topic. And then we'll also be talking about some of the Nintendo tournament things that's been pissing people off this week or some people feeling justified because they just want to shit on what they think is a crappy community. It's been kind of a weird back and forth where it's pretty much just all negative all around. So that's that's always that's always fun. And then, yes, we do have a Q&A segment on our show. If you would like to submit questions for it, if you're on if you're watching on YouTube, you just have to super chat it in for as little as a couple of bucks and we'll feature it in the Q&A section and we'll answer the question. It could be for one of us. It could be for all of us. It doesn't really matter. Be about any video game topic you guys want, even if it's not related to Nintendo. If you're on Twitch, you can use like bits or direct donations. I think both of them will pop up for me. We'll find out, obviously. But if not, whatever, I'll pay attention and we'll get those questions in. And then if you're watching on Twitter, because we're actually streaming on Twitter, Twitch and YouTube, I'm sorry, there is nothing you can do to submit questions. So go watch it on a better platform. All right, all right. That being said, we're going to start a show the way we start every show. Go around the room and well, what have we been playing lately? I know what I've been playing. But who knows? Maybe some of us have been playing more than one game or maybe some of us just don't give a shit about Mario. I have no idea. Let's start with Eric. I know he actually played something. How's it going? I did. I it's going to move you. I did this. This is like OCD. You you hate when I'm next to you. Well, it's not just that. Like the TV doesn't line up. I know, I know why. I don't disagree. Get out of here. And I'm just kidding. All right. What are you going to play? And I'm a little bit at work today at lunch. I played some tears of the kingdom. And then just before I know you said something about if I wanted to play your your Mario wonder, because we were talking about it. So I was like, man, well, I was going to buy it anyway. So I ended up buying it and yeah, I got a sale out there. So no commission. Yeah. No, no, I didn't go through an affiliate link or anything like that. So no, I made it to the first world. So nice. Yeah. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Jake Randall, well, you've been playing lately, bud. As you guys know, a couple of big games came out last week. I went and bought them and kept them sealed. So I continued to play Pokemon heart and gold. I also started to play through of leaf green and soul silver so I can train with myself, do some other stuff. And then having a great time in the regions of Kanto and Johto. That's that's not all you've been playing. What do you play on Saturday, bud? Oh, that's a year. Thank you. Hey, I watch the stream, man. Come on. Yeah, I did a 12 hour live stream where I played through the quarry in one sitting, but we didn't even finish in 12 hours. So I finished it up Sunday night for three hours. So I'll stream just nice little 15 hours over the weekend. It's like a hard choose your own adventure game. And it was it was a blast. The chat made all the choices and pretty much everyone died for like one person. That's sweet. Yeah, I got to find some of those games on switch. That was a fun stream. It was very fun. Yeah, I like voting. It's the the Dark Anthology series. And I don't think they currently have any of their games on switch. But there are some some like some choice games on switch that like have choice the whole way. Yeah, it happened a long time ago. Was it like Twitch Place Pokemon where people would post in the message board like different button? But one hacked it, hacked it and made it so you could put commands and chat. And then then it would do that, which got a little wild. They beat the game though, somehow. That's what you're talking about. Which Twitch Place Pokemon. Yeah. Yeah, I love those streams. Yes. It was like a whole community that was trying to make it fail intentionally. Yeah, they would like come in at certain times to try to sabotage the run. And then you had this whole other community trying to make it through and they were like fighting each other. It was kind of awesome. And it was interesting because a lot of people who didn't normally play Pokemon got like into it. And so like there was like almost like new fandoms born. Like people started worshiping the Helix Fossil. Yes. From that stream. That was a big thing, yeah. It's funny. Yeah, the Helix Fossil. What have you been playing lately, bud? Mario Wonder. I was able to beat the game. Got all the Wonder Seeds. And that was fun. I think pretty good time. Pretty good times. And I'm looking to get into that Spider-Man. This guy has both games. They're completely sealed. It's hilarious. But yeah, it's a cool game. Yeah, Mario Wonder. That's it. Well, Nate, Nate, I'm glad you said that because that was the reason I didn't start them is because I was doing a 12-hour live stream of that Halloween game. I appreciate you. I play Sun and Superstars. You know, like streaming me over here. I play Sun and Superstars also, which, yeah. Oh, really? I've heard so many mixed things. You're too slow. Yeah. I'm going to stay out of that conversation. That's all right, that's all right. For Sun and Superstars, I'm happy. What's wrong with it? RGT loved it last week when he was out. Yeah, I know. That's what I mean. Oh, I mean, I love Sonic. I love Sonic Frontiers. I just didn't. I like the new look. That's that I like. But certain elements just felt a little repetitive to me. Yeah, I've heard some of another big YouTuber call it a cash grab. And then, like Nate said, last week, RGT on the show was like, I loved it. So I'm really confused on what to think. Maybe I should form my own opinion. I don't know. Yeah, it's almost as if you should just play games and not listen to people. Yeah, maybe that's crazy. I like you, but you're crazy. What play video games? Now we have to have discourse over review scores. That's all that matters. Anyways, in fact, was Marty wonder what a 92 now? I'm at a critic. I don't even remember going down the pipes. I had. I don't even remember. I thought it was back in 93. It was 92 on open critic with 99% critic recommendation, which is always fun. Dude, you know what? Can we just sidebar real quick? You know, it grinds my gears when lesser known like in the game publications give a highly anticipated game a low score for the publicity and you can tell as you go to their website and they have games that are way worse than that game, like clearly way worse with the scores they deserve. So they like have like these OK games like rated above Mario wonder or something. That's just like if you genuinely feel that way, fine. But if you're clearly doing it to get your name out there, that that you should have your like your vote taken away off Metacritic. You know what I mean? So I'm go home and set up. So about a maybe a week or two ago, I made a video talking about how Tuesday the Kingdom is unfairly aided. And that was just just a talking point, in part, because there's this tent is typical sort of Zelda cycle whenever a Zella game comes out, the Zella fans are overly critical. And then as years pass, so we start to look upon it finally that that tends to always be the case. But also what I've noticed kind of to your point. For both Breath of the Wild and now Tuesday the Kingdom, because they're so highly praised, you kind of see people just come on. So you know what? I hate this game. I don't think it's that good as if it's like some sort of like really mind blowing point. And I mean, it it causes a stir. It causes a discussion. And you know, people come out of the woodworks and agree with that. I mean, I must say you have to like the game. But you don't. Right. Everyone has a different opinion. But I think those people don't like the game. Get so frustrated for all the praise they feel that they like unload on the game. Like it's a bad game when it's just like one that wasn't made for them, you know what I mean? Is a mark on the Superstars. It's a great game. And I have to happily enjoy it. Just it wasn't really for me. And you know, so I but I'm really, really happy for those who loves the sun, you know, who love the game. So yeah, I mean, it's overhyped. I would say Sonic Superstars is like. Just it is what it is. Appropriate. Yeah. Appropriate hype. Yeah. Exactly. Every Sonic game is like it's it's good. And then it's also not good. And the Sonic fan base is this game of last week can't seem to decide what the hell they wanted to be. So yeah, it's impossible. The Sonic Sonic ever since like like the original like Genesis Sonic games have just been nothing but like blue balls. Like that's what they are as a series. Like everyone gets so hyped and then gets disappointed in some way or the other. The one exception would be like Sonic Mania, which is kind of different. It's like kind of a throwback and it's not like the big next gen, you know, Sonic Adventure 3. Like the thing that everyone really wants and even frontiers. You know, there were stuff that they're getting closer. I have faith in them. But I mean, even look at Sonic himself, he's blue. He has blue balls. What he just puts on to others, what he internalizes. You know what I mean? All right, sorry, we're keeping it clean tonight. I don't know if you keep it clean over there. Anders, are you even playing lately, bud? Yes. Blue balls? Mucher primary master. No, I've been playing Mario Wonder. I have 100% of the first two worlds. I've had a good time with the special world. Nice. There's one in every one. Yeah. Yeah, going back, like I, it's interesting because I discovered a special world in World 2. And then I was like, wait a second. There's clearly a path from World 1. So I had to go back and I was trying to find what did I miss. Yeah, yeah. Because if you check just the courses, you'll see, even if you've got 100% of course, you didn't necessarily find the secret path. Yeah. And so, yeah, I looked and I figured it out. I was like, okay, well, this looks like where it would be. There are certain patterns that you can be like, oh, okay, that's there. I don't want to spoil it for those that don't want to know how to do it. So I'm not going to say it. But yeah, I'm having a good time with it. Good, yeah. So for me, Mario Wonder, what a shocker. I'm a Nintendo YouTuber and I played a lot of Mario Wonder. I have not beaten it. I am in the final world. Are you still streaming it, by the way? No. Oh, okay. No, you're streaming the night that you played it for the first time. That was hype. Yeah, we ended the stream on a six hour stream. It went twice as long as we expected because Yulia just wanted to keep playing. So her and I were playing Friday in the stream. So we got the world four on Friday and then my world, the world eight right now. And dude, it's really fun. There's a lot I need to go back to room play. I haven't done a lot of the special world stuff. I've done some of it and some of it pissed me off, which makes me happy. It makes me happy that it pisses me off. Yeah. Yeah, cause you didn't want it to be too easy, right? Yeah. Yeah, like it's really like, I can see where some reviews would be like, oh, it's not, you know, whatever. It's not that bad. And yeah, if you just go through the main story, yeah, you know, there's not like a lot of super, super hard levels in the main story besides, oh, there's a few in world eight, but it's still not that bad. I just like, you know what the challenge is? It's a special world game where a certain audience, like a kid could beat the whole story without much difficulty, but yet there's so much challenge that exists in the game that like it could, you know, last you so long. And then replay anyways, that's like the perfect way for them to do a Mario game, I think. So it sounds like they nailed it. Yeah. And there's a special world or a special area attached to each world. So there's like eight of those at least. And I have no idea what happens if there's any post game stuff, but and all of those are super difficult. Like they're all four and five stars, basically the whole time. And they're very, very hard, at least hard for me. I understand. Some of you guys will find all of it easy because you guys played Mario Maker like crazy. And yes, I will admit, some of the courses made in Mario Maker, if you have the skills to beat that, those, it'll make this look like a cream puff. I understand that a lot of people consider non-fan-made courses, these are actually pretty difficult for Nintendo to put it in there. And I really enjoy the challenge. I mean, there's one of them, I mean, you guys saw on Friday when we were streaming, there was one literally only made it through because of Fire Soul and me popping my ghost and skipping half the line. Here's a video idea. Anyone feel free to take it? I got it. But do you think Nintendo got inspiration from Mario Maker levels? I was about to say that. I was about to say that. Yeah, I said that. I like where your head's at. Yeah, I said these courses are so difficult. I wonder if they actually thought, look, hey, these people are making very difficult courses. I wonder if we can just kind of wait, they wondered. I guess they didn't make it. In my mind, it feels like it's got to be a no-brainer. You're key guys that are making these Mario levels, you're not gonna have them play through some of the most highly voted courses of Mario Maker 2. They'll probably just do it because they're interested. You know what I mean? And I'm sure, you know what I mean? So I don't know. That's one benefit of Mario Maker 2 and I wish it sold better because if they kept making more of those, they could get more inspiration. I feel like it helped with the development in this game. Yeah, it's a lot of young developers, according to their interview they did. And the reason they brought in all those young developers is they wanted a lot of fresh new ideas to implement in the games. Rather than just like, hey, the old brass does things a certain way. Wait, you know what? We maybe shouldn't keep doing it that way. Let's bring in some young faces. And I know it's like a really private company. I don't know if they would ever publicly come out with this if it happened. Wouldn't it be so cool if someone that made a bunch of awesome Mario Maker courses ended up being on the development team? I wouldn't be surprised with some of the developers they hired. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I wish they were more open about that kind of stuff because that would be a cool story, you know? Not to say too much, but- Yeah, I'm not even gonna get everyone's hopes up. Oh, just keep making courses. You mean why I hire you? I never know. I never know. But not to say a lot, but that jumping level? Which one? Do you jump a lot? Yeah. Yeah, we haven't, well, have you been in yet, Anders? Well, there's jumping in this Mario game? That's new. Holy cow. You'll get there. You'll get there. You'll never get there. The one in the special, is it the one five star one in the special world? Yeah. Is it the music one? Yeah. That one's Mitch. Which is the music one? The one that I only beat because of Fire Soul. Yeah. How special? The one in the special levels, yeah. That was the one, the five star one. It's like, I call it the music level. But the musical one? No, it's not musical now. No, this one's not musical. Well, you'll probably do it a lot after playing it. Hey, hey, Andre, some other people that are good at games, okay? I'm probably just, what? I was sorry, I was trying to get a ride out of you. Yeah, he's not keeping it clean. I didn't hear anything, so I don't know what you're saying. Well, obviously, you keep talking about Mario Wonderland. Oh, no, no, that's our first topic, is Mario Wonderland. Yay. Impressions and all of that. And this is where Jake Randall can say nothing. Oh, no, he'll find a way. No, he'll find a way to continue. Yeah, your lack of faith disturbs me. I know, here's the thing. He will inject questions, which will end up driving conversations. That's usually what I'm talking about anyways. Obviously, four of the five of us played it. Some, we have a person who beat it. We have a person who's in world two, a person who's in world one, and me that's in the last world. Lots of different experiences with the game so far. So the question is, for starters, is the game like so far? Has it met our expectations, head and end? Because it was pretty hyped, especially once all those reviews dropped and it became the highest rated side-swirling Mario game in over 30 years, which is insane. Like, we had that whole new Super Mario Bros. series and like three, four of those. And this just said, nope, review-wise, we're way above. So it seemed like the bar was risen pretty high head and end. How are we feeling right now? Very good. Yeah. I think this is, you know, they hit it out of the park. Like this is a really good game. It's better. I think it's exceeded the expectations of many because I think 2D Mario, like there has been this, they've built up this reputation of doing what needs to be done to make a 2D Mario game, but not really going above and beyond. And this feels like an above and beyond game. Like we heard that they, you know, that they went to development of this game with no actual deadline and that shows. It's incredible. I will stress, or I would like to clarify, I have 100% in worlds one and two. So when I say that, I think some people might think, oh, you've only done worlds one and two, but no, I have 100% in them. In other words, I've explored every single nook and cranny of the first two worlds. And so I would argue with the amount of time I've put into the game so far if I just focused on just kind of blitzing it, I would have beaten the game already. Yeah, it's a lot, it's a lot. But like, I feel like I have a decent rap on it so far. And I mean, it's a really good game. Like there's a lot of attention to detail. Like have you guys noticed that when you transform into elephant Mario, the music actually changes? Yeah, yeah. And he transforms into these animals. Does like every part of his body transform? Yeah, yeah. So I don't take off clothes, so I can't check. Yeah, all right. I mean, I was there at Nose because, you know, the flowers and stuff. So I guess he saw something he liked after the transformation. The flowers made you guys laugh yet? Yeah. Oh, yes. That's what a couple of times I thought it was funny. Dude, even on the stream on Friday, Yulia was chuckling. She's like, well, the flower just say, yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. But listen, listen, my favorite Mario game, it has to do with my childhood, right? You always pick a game that kind of started off for you. Of course, I played Mario 1, 2, and 3, but then I kind of fell in love with Mario 3. And that became my favorite game of all time. And then Super Mario World. And then I was in between Mario World and Super Mario 3 until I played Mario Wonder. Because this game just took me back to my childhood. It gave me so many, man, so many elements from Mario 3 and Mario World. I've heard that this is like the spiritual sequel to Mario Super Mario World, but with even more added to it. Every element from the flower, the talking flowers are crazy and hilarious. All the way through, it's like so unexpected. They'll say, what the heck? Did you just say that? I think the reactions are all the characters. The fact that every single level is so detailed. And when you take the Wonder Flower, it's always unexpected. There's not one repetitive moment in the game when it comes to grabbing that Wonder Flower and everything goes nuts and crazy and the music goes out. The singing piranhas are amazing. I love it. It has been going live on Boxing right now. I want to see what the inside of this puppy looks like. Keep going, Mike. I don't even have a physical copy, so I have no idea what it looks like. I'm only going to talk up to a certain level. I'm not going to talk too much into the future. But when it comes to the detail that went to the game, every interaction or every reaction of the actual characters, how they react, how wouldn't they... He kind of goes down like that in Crouches. And you see his nose pop up like that. He kind of like... There's so many details that were added to this game that I remember going back to that interview where they said that they took their time with this game. And I'm like, wow, you can tell. They took their sweet time with this game. And so I said, here, make this game. You have no release date. Just finish it. Finish it. It kind of came out for the switch, too. But no, it came out now, but they took their time and look what they created. I mean, this is just a assessment of what other games could be if they just kind of... And this is a 2D Mario. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, but it is just because of how much love and how much care went to it. And the music is phenomenal, music. I heard that it was built from the music up. Like the music, they start with the music and they built levels using that music as inspiration. That's why you see the little notes and everything. Yeah, I heard it's almost like a rhythm game. That's what RGT said in his review. Yeah, and those little notes that you see, like a little bridge of notes, if you run through them, you see that it'll never go off the beat of the actual song that's playing and it'll continue to play the beat of the music that's playing right there. Like Audra said, when you get the elephant, is it a seed? What is it? Like a pear? What is that? Is that a fruit? You guys know what game was very similar to that, the way they used rhythms in the platforming levels. It was actually PlayStation game, but Sackboy's Big Adventure. Oh, dude, that was fun. Do you remember that? But, and they had like Bruno Mars songs in there, but it was like literally built for the levels. Yeah. I got goosebumps because it was so cool the way they would have different stuff happen for the musical cues. But it sounds like the same kind of vibe. Very similar, very similar elements to the game because a lot of music really influenced the game itself. So it's pretty cool. I might not say I love that. Somebody else talk, but again, right now my favorite 2D Sack Schooling game, still. Mike, can I actually ask you a question about it before? Yeah. I know obviously if the, you know, chat may not know, but you're visually impaired, like legally blind. And I'm just wondering a game that like incorporates music like that. So it's almost like you can play the beat somewhat. Is that like a huge bonus for you? That's probably one of the reasons why I love it the most because it pulled me in. You know, I put it really pulled me in, especially the, well, I shouldn't say that, but I mean, especially one level. I mean, you- What are you pulling over there? Hold on, what are you doing? Hi, hold on. You saw the trailer, right? You saw the trailer. There's a level where everything goes dark, right? Yeah, yeah. Everything is dark. All you hear is the audio. And to me, in order to go through that level, I was like, you know, going through the level, listening to the sounds, and it really, it really made it really awesome for me. And of course, all the colors, contrast, the more contrast a game has, the better for blind people, trust me. The contrast, your game pop out. So- Dude, I love that. That's awesome. That's pretty cool. That level sounds like pretty special for you. That's cool. I hope Nintendo does a lot more stuff when it comes to accessibility, especially with the controllers, you know? Really cool. Yeah, they will, but you just can't bring it to tournaments. Yeah. I don't know if we'll get to that later. More shadowing. All right. Oh, man. Cool, yeah. Like, Andres, you know, you put a lot of hours into the first two levels, like how do you feel the game contrasts itself between like, because obviously when you're just doing the main stuff and not doing the side worlds, you know, the levels are kind of easy, sure. But how do you feel the game contrast between that and the difficult stuff? Because I know personally, I don't really even care if it's a one-star level or a five-star, dude. I'm having like different types of fun in every level. Yeah. I agree. Yeah, I mean, I don't, I have a, basically like, if I were to tell myself in the past who had some concerns about the challenge in the game, I would tell myself in the past, don't worry about it. You're going to enjoy it because there is a little bit of easy. There is a little bit of hard. I think it's well balanced. And I think that's what's most important. I think some people want maybe like the heart, like, you know, hard as nails, possible difficulty, but that's never what a Mario game is going to be. Yeah, don't play like Celeste or something, you know? Yes. Celeste would be, that's, that's a- That is very hard. That's a painful game. But yeah, like, but Mario Wonder does have that challenge. If you look for it, you can find it. If you go find, that's the secret special world areas. If you do the four stars, if you choose the more challenging stamps because there's a different stamp types. Like there are stamps that just kind of give you different platforming abilities. There are stamps that kind of help you. Like they'll give you some sort of like, you know, beneficial handicap. And then there are stamps that literally just make the game harder. Like that's, they just add them so you can play to the game with some sort of- And Andre, the thing for me is like, I've eaten Celeste and I love a game like that. But when I'm playing a Mario game, when I take like 50 tries to beat one of like the super hard levels, I don't want to then have my next level be the same exact thing. I like to play a couple that are easier. It makes me feel like I'm making progress. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm enjoying the game instead of like, oh, I don't want to play it for a couple hours because I know the next level is going to be super hard again. My thumbs are cramping. You know what I mean? That's what it's like with Celeste. And again, I love that game. Worth it. I mean, I wouldn't have finished it if I wasn't enjoying it, but I kind of prefer the way Mario does it. I think Nintendo's got it pretty down pat. I mean, there are a couple of levels in there. Do you want to just leave and then go come back a little bit? But I'm saying like in between, they're not all back to back to back to the whole game. That's what I mean. Yeah. It's interesting because you look at the online portion. I would recommend playing this game online because you can play with others and they do help you. There is this casual connection as the phrasing they used in the interviews. And I think it benefits the game, but it's done in a way where I don't think it really, it doesn't, everything that's done doesn't impede your progress, but it can like sort of assist with your progress. Like I was doing a particular level where you had to find like five different coins for the Wonder Seed. But it was like a puzzle level. Like you had to find they're really well hidden and I couldn't find one of them. And someone I was playing online with was just kind of hopping around the area. They were trying to help me. Like they were doing different things to tell me where it was. And eventually I figured it out because of their help, which was kind of neat. And so it's just kind of cool that there are like little interactions that happen like that. And something else, just kind of speaking on the online, it's not like the way they've made the game feel. It doesn't feel like it's like prior Mario games where it's just, okay, there's a whole bunch of levels and you go to them. This game, there's like, there's a map you can kind of explore around. And when you go to a level, it's almost like going into a room if that makes any sense. Because you can go into a room, right, a level and you can be playing with a friend. The friend could leave that level, go somewhere else, beat an entire different level, come back and catch up to where you're at. Oh, that's cool. And Matt actually answered, I had a question for you. So you can connect directly with a friend. It's not like, if you're playing online, it's not random. You can. I was playing online with my friend, Brandon. Like he's transparent as I play. Yeah. But we're still both right there. It's all one to one real time. We can share irons with each other. We can still nod at each other. We can still save each other. When you save each other, you become full color or we get to a level together, you become full color. So there is still that connection. And actually, I tried to make a point in a video I made a few days ago. I think I actually prefer it this way because something that I've noticed when I've played 2D games like cooperatively, when there's too much happening on screen at once, it actually gets a little distracting. So like, for example, when I play Cuphead, Co-op, the extra player when I'm playing with my cousin, the game's actually harder for me. It's not easier. Like I beat the levels far more quickly by myself because that extra player doing extra things is kind of, it kind of takes away from like my focus. But I think it depends on the game itself. But yeah, for certain games, it's very valid, yeah. Yeah. But like the way they do it with Mario Wonder, with everyone playing online, they're transparent, right? So they're not as obviously there. So the less distracting is the point I'm trying to make. Yeah. I feel like for most 2D platformers, that would be the case because you only have so much room to work with. Yeah, yeah. As opposed to like- And I'm bumping into each other. Speaking of that co-op thing, I played the first two worlds on my own, and then I connected online afterwards because then I found a little satellite there and I couldn't go back after that. After playing co-op with people online, it was just so much fun. It increased the fun playing with other people online because just watching, like Andrew was saying, at that level where you find those little coins, people were just going crazy and helping each other out and then, you know, it's just amazing. It just made it so much more fun to play the game. And I just, all transparency, I beat it all the way through after that online. I didn't want to go back because I was playing by myself. I didn't want to go back there because it was just so much fun. And the cool thing is that when you go into a level, it's always four players. There's never more than four players. And they're always another character. They're never like two Mario's or two Luigi's or two Yoshi's or, you know, if they pick Yoshi, you know, you'll have them in there. But it's always four characters per level. So it doesn't even feel like there's a lot of people that are in there with you. But it's really good that they auto-put people playing different characters. I wonder if, I'm just curious, it doesn't matter. But I wonder if, even if they put, I wonder if like potentially they do put four Mario's together, but it just shows on each player's screen different characters. You know, it makes no difference with what you're doing just serious. I would never know. Yeah, yeah. Unless you're playing together, like we play together online, then you can ask, what character do you pick? Because on my side, you're seeing this or... Yeah, but if you're playing with a friend, I think it's just who it is. Yeah. Yeah, although I haven't tried playing as a different, as the same character with anyone I play with. You should try that because if it shows a different character when you do that, then we can confirm it right away. If it doesn't, we really can't confirm it, but it's worth a test. Yeah, no, for sure. It's interesting because especially because like most of, there's like, I guess there's three different types of characters, there's the Yoshi's, there's Nabbit and there's everyone else. You would just have to swap between those three clats. Like if you're Nabbit, then Nabbit's Nabbit, but then the Yoshi's are Yoshi's, but all the other characters- I thought Nabbit was exactly the same as Yoshi's. No. Is it Nabbit easier or something? You have the tongue and the floater jump. No, okay. When it comes to the difficulty of the level, like I know Yoshi's don't take damage and Nabbit doesn't either, right? That's why I thought they were the same. Yoshi's got extra things it can do. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Nabbit's kinda like the worst. Yeah. Sounds like Yoshi's like easy mode. Nabbit's like medium and then the others are normal. Medium rare. Medium rare. But see, it's interesting because it depends on how you're playing. Like if you just want to get through a stage because the Nabbit and Yoshi can't use power-ups. So like- Oh, okay. On the level if you can't use power-ups. That sucks, right? I wanted to see Alpha and Yoshi. You can't see Alpha and Yoshi. Oh, that's bad. Dude, one thing that's blowing my mind right now that I just went through my head is Mario Maker 3. Can you imagine what they're gonna do with that Wonder Flower in those levels? When they- I don't think it's gonna happen. It could happen. I mean, Mario Maker so far has almost all the Mario's in there, right? And he has Super Nintendo and Mario World, 3D Mario. So they could add Mario Wonder into Mario Maker. They meant like a Wonder Effect. I think that's what he means. Yeah. If they did it would just be pre-baked. Like there would just be like a sad amount of effects you could choose. Yeah. Basically, yeah, you can kind of drag. Yeah, I mean, they could use some of the different motifs that they use like the silhouette or like when you can, when it gets stretched out or when you're trying to do something or something. Until you get a flower or something. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's ways that they couldn't do what they wanted to. What's interesting though is that for Mario Wonder, like they've already kind of hinted that they already have a foundation to kind of like make more new 2D Mario games with a lot of original ideas. Like they apparently had over 2,000 different ideas going into this game. From those ideas came the concept of like Wonder isn't just the only idea. There is a whole bunch of other. Sure. It was a 1957 ideas. I'm just saying what they had. They, I'm just bringing it over. I want to see the others like. What are the ideas? One of the ideas is Chris Pratt in it. But Chris Pratt in it. What are the ideas is Mario working out on these overalls when he turns into an elephant and you get to see the full transformation. That was my idea. Yeah. So they probably they probably allowed you to be a transfer to Nintendo. And they looked at him and said, we can't know. They showed us second elephant trunk. There we go. He chimes in with the zingers. Love it, Eric. Yeah. Eric, are you feeling about the game so far? I mean, I know you just kind of started today. So. So I'm going to throw caviar on this thing. It's probably because this week has been just stupidly stressful. And I was playing it to get to the podcast. Actually, it's all right. Let's go. I don't know. I just it's OK right now. The world one hasn't really excited me. I'm not I agree again. And it's World One. That's another caveat. But I think once they get into it a little bit more, you know, if I get less stressed, things like that. I don't know. And my brain just I'll say it just turned off. And World One is very tutorial. It is. It's not like it doesn't really I'll say. Like World One is my least favorite world in the game. Right. I don't really know. And it's weird because, like, you know, you think back to Mario World. You think back to Super Mario Brothers 3, the games it gets compared to like World One is such a memorable world, like right off the gate. And I would argue World One is kind of forgettable here outside of when you get to the challenge area, which I don't think you've gotten to yet. Oh, that's the that's the level that I left off on. But yeah, like that's that's, you know, on the side, the actual main world one. It's very much like a traditional where we're just trying to teach you how to do the basics. And that when you played a lot of Mario. Yeah, OK, I was like, no, I need to get to World Two. And World Two, then I finally started like, all right, here's some actual original ideas and some cool stuff. Yeah, I don't know. So like I said, it's probably just those those different things that I just haven't had a chance to fully enjoy it. I was playing it to get to the podcast to, you know, to do that. This week has just been stupid, crazy at work. So I've been just absolutely stressed with that. So I think a combination of all of those things, just I just. I don't know. It just isn't really tripping my trigger at the moment. Yeah. So I think like that's so valid, Eric, like the circumstances of of like what you're what's going on in your life when you play a game can have a huge impact on it because I told my breath of the wild story here a few times. But that was a game where I picked up, couldn't get through the tutorial. The effect then ended up taking up a year later when I was stuck in the hospital and like fell in love with it and 100 percent completed it. Yeah. And so, yeah, I think that's that's important. So this could be a game that you actually love, but sounds like you are under a lot of stress. Hope it's better for you this week, bro. Yeah. No, I don't think Friday might be a semi-relief, but tomorrow is, I think, going to be just stay mulled, stay mulled. This is the rest of this week has been so. What? Well, what Eric was saying is quick. I hope you get relieved by a beautiful young woman every day. All of the relief upon you, sir. Look at you going, Pam and Eric, your review is not done on time. Yeah, right. Bastard. What is your third say, something wild? Minnesota wild. Yeah. Was it talking to Minnesota wild? Oh, Minnesota. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. I always mention he's into a sport. I'm not. Yeah. I'm trying to think of a game born to be wild for a second. And I was like, yeah, that's it. That's it. Yeah. But now I'm trying to think of a game that I have not liked at first for whatever reason. And then eventually gave another chance and decided I liked it. Can you think of one? I can't think of one. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's happened once or twice, but I can't think of one off the top of my head. Yeah, no, I'm trying, but like every Nintendo game is amazing. So I can't wait, guys. Sorry. It's not. It's not true. I'm not going to even buy detection. I'm not going to get it. Make it your return to try. I have a. That's true. He's like, or if it's a bad game, I don't fucking play it. Yeah. Mine's controversial in this broadcast, because I think like half of the people here love that game. Marble's rabbit sparks to hope. Oh, yeah. You don't like it. I didn't get through it. Really? The first one was awesome with the music. I play. I started playing the first one and then I got halfway through it. But then the second one came out. So I jumped to that one. But after this, the first one, but then I actually found out that I actually like the first one better. I didn't play the second one. The first one was great. Mike, did you get to the opera level? Dude, you would love that. It's basically homage to Conker's Bad Fur Day when you fight the giant poop. They do this whole opera theme with this huge song from one of the boss fights. It's awesome. Is this the first one? No, it's the first one. Yeah. Heck, we're now in the second one. There is a second one, too, in the final part of the DLC as well. Oh, OK. Cool. Yeah. It's in the very final part of the DLC and it will. I'm glad they brought that back. That's cool. I'll make an effort just because it's Mario, you know. But, yes, I've never had that happen. Like any game where I played, I didn't like it because of what was going on in my life because for me, when my life's really stressful, just give me any video game. I'll probably like it more because it's getting me away from the shit that's stressing me out. Like that's the way I've always been. So like for me, if it's a game, like let's say it's a game I've never tried before. Don't think I'd like it's like a fighting game. Like, oh, man, I'm not really into fighting games. You know what? I'll stress when my life has been lame and give me three, five or six minutes going to be a relief compared to the shit I'm going through when I'm not playing the game. So for me, it's always like stress just makes the games maybe appeal to me more. But I don't know that I've ever picked up a game and because of what was going on or just didn't like the game and then maybe liked it. Do you think it depends on the game, though? Do you think a certain game might stress you out if you're feeling stressed, like Elden Ring or something like that? No, not really. It's just a video game. You just don't take it that serious. You want to get the stress of the hour? All right. Basically, you have no emotions when you game. Got it. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't say there's no emotions. I'm saying that, like, when you have real life shit going down, that always hits harder than anything of video games going to do to me because I'm choosing whether or not I want to keep smashing my head against a wall. Whereas the shit that's happening in real life, you don't always have a choice of what's going on. Well, yeah, I'm not saying you play a video game and you're like, God, this sucks. Like, I hate the world. Let me go back to regular life. This is too stressful. No, I'm saying if you're stressed already, you could just play a video game and it doesn't relax you. It doesn't take you away. You're just not you're just not enjoying it. Because you know what I mean? Because you're just out of it. We'll say there have there have been TV shows or movies or like, animes that I've started watching and just been like, I'm not feeling it. Right. I don't get I don't get into it quick enough. And I just give up. Did you ever did you ever finish suits? I did. I finished this weekend. I watched that about at least 10 times. It didn't come out like literally like ends and I start over again from the beginning and watch it again. Yeah, that's keeping it clean. I think I think it's I think they did season nine just right, by the way. I think they handle it as well as they could agree. Yeah, they did when Margo leaving to Margarit Prince and all that stuff. Very funny because they had a fourth ball breaking joke about that. But I. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember vaguely, because he says, oh, yeah, she's doing better than you think. Yeah, I remember that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we just kind of thinking I like there have been games that maybe I've been more drawn into based off like the point I am in my life. I think it's harder now to get myself invested just because of the different things I have going on. But like, you know, like I jumping into like a big massive RPG that's going to take me a hundred hours, like those are great. But if I have a little bit of things to do, I'm kind of too worried. And you just said something that made it click for me. That's what it is. I couldn't put my finger on. It's when you're playing a game, but you you can't escape because you have so much shit going on in your life that you're playing the game, you feel guilty. You don't listen to all the stuff that you should that you should be doing. You should be being productive. That's what it is. So it's not that the game's not an escape. It's just that it makes you feel some guilt. This is what you don't care about anyone else in our lives and just want to just play all the video games and have fun and don't feel bad about our responsibilities at all. So we're fine just escaping in the game anytime. Sometimes, man, you have to be like this. Let's say, you know, I came over, man. Obviously, I'm kidding. But it's you know, it's different stuff for different people, though. For everyone's different. Like for me, I've never felt guilty playing a game because bottom line is my life takes so much pressure over and I barely get to play. And it's the point that like Julia will even like look me in the face and be like, go play a game, like just go like everyone in my life knows that it's like the one thing that I can just sort of forget everything. I can even forget work. I can just forget everything and focus on the game. And so that's why I like even, oh, if my life's really stressful and a lot of bad just going on and then I'll load up Elden Ring and just beat your head against a wall, it's just a different sort of thing because I view that as a challenge I can conquer. Whereas usually the challenges that might be happening in my life that I can't control, it's not something that I can beat. Like I know I'll eventually beat this challenge in a game. But as an example, like, you know, my grandmother has aneurysm in her brain. Like I can't do anything about that. I can't fix that. I can't change the outcome of what ends up happening with that. So honestly, the game's like nice because it's it's giving me something that even if it's hard, it is something I can actually defeat. I can't, even if I don't defeat it that day, it's something I can defeat. And I do know, I will say, like, you know, it's not like the mood you're in can't affect the type of game you might choose to play. Right. Like, oh, you know, example, I don't play a lot of like multiplayer games. Unless you got to be good at those will not just I'm just saying that, like, I don't play a lot of them, unless I'm specifically in a mood to want to do that because I know I got people. And I don't always want to interact with other people. I see where they come from because that makes perfect sense. I'm in the middle. Sometimes they're the situation over so we're bearing and won't let me concentrate. But the one thing also is that sometimes the game can actually help you because once you go into the game and you you focus on that, there's something you can control, something you can beat. It kind of gives you a new perspective on life. You kind of go back into what I can actually do this. Let me let this just get, you know, I know, I know that's probably not what I said, but that's what I heard. I'm like, you know, let me ask you guys this because as YouTubers, you might be able to relate this for me. Sometimes it's hard for me to sit down and play a game. What I'm thinking, I need to make a video today or, you know, I need to be getting ready for this live stream. You know what I mean? It's that's what I'm talking about with like guilt and responsibility. It's not stuff going on in my life that I can't control. Yeah. It's the stuff that I should be doing that I can control. I understand very well. I go take a dump on the game and I'm playing a game. Like the switch, the switch is really what enabled me because like the biggest thing was like, yeah, I don't, I can't always, because I have to do something else. I can't always sit in front of the TV and do it out and play a game. Uh, but like I can, as an example, work on a video and then as I'm like hitting a brain fart, load up switch, play a game for like 10 minutes, get my mind straight again, get back to work. And I couldn't really do that, um, with a lot of other stuff. Uh, and it actually reminded me that when I was younger and I used to do a lot of computer work, uh, that's the world the work graph was for me. I'd log into that and I'd play for 10, 15 minutes just to kind of clear my brain and then get right back to writing articles as Elvin Farmer or whatever I had to do. Um, but unfortunately, like when I'm, you know, PlayStation and Xbox, when I'm playing on a TV, I don't know what it is, but every time I sit down to play it on the TV, I'm like, no, I got to be playing this for multiple hours. Like, I'm not just going to say that because that's exactly why I bought the, uh, the PlayStation portal and no one has stopped giving me shit about that since, since I said I was blind. Reason, dude, I love to sit on my couch and have the TV on while I play my switch. It's a lot to be desired, but it can do that. You put the Celtics game up on TV. Congrats on the win, by the way. Um, did we win? I, that was making me nervous. Yeah. Yeah. You guys pulled it off the, the Knicks missed like all their free throws in the last two minutes. Thank God. We always, they couldn't buy a laugh in the fourth quarter. And it just drives me crazy. I will say this, I mean, for, for, for being this juggernaut, I don't know, game one, a little rough. Yeah. Well, Tatum and Przing is 30 points each. So it did, the bucks are about to lose tomorrow. So it's, it's fine. I'm already accepting that somehow James Harden's going to show up and go off for 45 when we're done. Um, and I just expected everyone keeps telling me the bucks are going to suck for two months. I'm like, cool. I'm just expecting them to have to be good for a while. Um, I also think I figured on another thing that added to it. I wasn't really playing with sound either. Oh, oh, oh, that's not playing a game. And I, oh, my, Mr. James, what are you up to? That's the experience on the game. I really didn't, it was, it was there, but it just wasn't, I didn't, I didn't crank that, crank that maybe. I don't know. Yeah. The music in the game is great. Yeah. I wonder, I think like 80% of the enjoyment is the music, is the music in that game. And yeah, it's like, it's essential. I haven't even played the game, but I did watch a lot of these live stream and I have seen it. It's, it's definitely interesting that you guys are saying this though, because I've seen a lot of people with the takes saying that the music in the game is not very good. I've heard that too, which I don't understand. But yeah, go ahead. Listen, listen, listen. How is it not good? That's awesome. That sounds like. How is it not good? That's just. Wait, wait, Andres, what were you saying about the people saying it's not good? Well, I mean, I think it, I'm not saying that. I mean, everyone's doubted their opinion. I think what it is, if it's some people that say that are kind of thinking it from the perspective of like memorable soundtracks that they're like, oh man, this is a real banger. But Mario Wonder, it's not just about up the soundtracks, which some of them I do think are nice, but it's more so about the sound effects and the rhythm and the also the voice acting from the flowers. It's all of it kind of coming together that add to the experience. I'll say just on the note of like music overall in games, whenever I see someone playing a game and I see they're playing without music, I'm like, they're that's that's that's wrong. What are you doing? I am one of those. I have to be honest, dude, I can't tell you how many time I've replayed Final Fantasy games. I'm you while I've been watching TV or listening to music. Well, it's one thing if you're if you're replaying something, that's a little different. But if like you're playing a game, it's like your first experience and you're not like really appreciating what it has to offer. OK, fair. My new character. I think we're going to play some replay old Final Fantasy games like 30 times. And like they like can't help themselves but be bumping the soundtrack the whole time. You know, so it makes me feel bad. Yeah. I'm the guy on the guy that watches an anime and will listen to the intro almost every single time. Well, it depends how bad it is. Depends if it's a good or bad. If it's a bad intro, I'll give it a try a couple of times, sometimes it has to grow on you. But then other times, it's just a waste of time. And then, yeah, it's an ever since I play Mario Wonder every single day, I make a note to say, wow, we saw we at least once a day. Oh, boy. No, I'm good. I'm good on the while we saw we. And day one, I said it a couple of times. You know, I mean, I really got to stop. It's fun. It's fun to me. You're found noise. Well, he's out and I don't. I don't I don't want to like start any drama. I'm just really confused about something. I did. Is it what you're bringing up? Well, he's out. We what do you what are you about? Yeah, a certain colored red beard. Yeah, I'm just what is happening. It is a bad source. Randomly, I don't even know who this person is. He showed up in a live stream like two days ago and just started all this. Like I took his memory card and claimed that it didn't work anymore. And then he has proof I've deleted his files. And I'm like, what are you talking about? I've literally won memory cards haven't been used in any system I've been using. Probably since the 90s. And the only person I ever. Is this guy right here? Right, right. Good old Eric is who I borrow things from. Why would I borrow from some random person on the Internet? Makes no it makes literally no sense. And yeah, that is bizarre. Because I didn't do a switch. I didn't even know who he was talking about. I was like, is he talking about me? You know, he's talking about me. It's my burner account. Yeah, totally. Yeah. And now I say Matthews Park. I don't know what the fuck Matthews Park is. Is that like a park? It's a park and it belongs to Matthew. All right. Unfortunately, it's unfortunate after 2020 that broke a lot of people around your name. Matthews Park for health is an old time low. I mean, have you seen all these videos on on YouTube of people having like these giant fits and screaming to the top of the lung just because of the light won't change, kicking doors and doing all this. I'm like, I don't need help. How is that? There's a Matthews Park in Minnesota. So I don't live in Minnesota. So I don't know what you're talking about, man. I've never lived in Minnesota. Wait, wait, wait, right here. I just don't understand, dude. Like, how is this like? I think you're being ridiculous. Yeah, like maybe you see my kids there. If my sister ever took them there, what's the platform? What what system is a memory card for? Yeah, I did. This is some lore that's been going on for a while. Seriously, like Redbeard. Yeah, I want to tell us what system I want. I want to I want to. All right, I want to let's get it all out there. You've the floor is yours, but let's find out if he says. I don't want to scratch him anymore. Let's hash it out, boys. Yeah, let's go. What the hell is going on? I've never been so I don't even know what what that is. It's probably confusing with somebody else. It wasn't me. There's not me. I literally don't need my house. Can we just be honest? I haven't left my house in like six years. I go to my kid's school program and I come home. Yeah, not even to go to Matthews Park. Right, Redbeard? Like as great as Matthews Park is. And trust me, as somebody who loves parks named after people's first name, really, Matthews Park. I now need to know what it is for. We happen, like when did this supposedly happen? What is it? I just don't know that my version has gotten us a super chat. Thank you. Go to 10. There it is. Go to go to 10 brings it brings it in hard. Well, it loves the drama. He loves it. You literally told me you needed an owner to get a video for your stream. What are you talking about? Why would I need your memory card to get a video for my stream? That makes it literally, you know, wait, hold on. I have a question that might be able to help us here. Could have been weird. Was this did you meet him in person or was this an online interaction or something? Oh, yeah, one of those cameras. One of those cameras. Yeah, did you possibly get scammed? All right, like face to face thing. You know what I mean? What's that wasn't on WhatsApp or or or or. Corrects like my camera uses SD cards, by the way, which is not is Matthews Park like a new grinder thing or like is it like a like a that way you can be real discreet about it. Like, oh, we didn't meet on grinder. We met at Matthews Park, you know, I have no idea. In that case, hold on one second. I got to download it real quick. Well, never. The only one I've ever borrowed for like any video thing was Eric. Like we've borrowed a thumb drive once. Oh, well, maybe that's Eric's alias. Yeah, it's my burner account. I'm typing. Yeah, people thought it was Eric because I'm like and he's bringing up Matthews Park and I've never been to Matthews Park in my head. Redbeard, Redbeard, we're not insulting you. But I am poking fun because you have all the time in the world to respond, but you respond once like every minute and you don't give any more information. You just like say something random. Yeah, you said like, oh, I needed it for a video for a stream. What video? Well, what video? Video for a stream. Those are two separate things. Well, no, I think he's saying I showed a video on the street. But why would I need a memory card for that when I have a whole computer with hard drives and everything? What would I need a memory card? Did you have another maybe another speed drive? Sure, maybe to move between systems, but I never borrowed one from anyone. But Eric, I'll thank Eric. And if you have game saves on a thumb drive, that's a little weird. Was it all right, Redbeard? I need you to stop sailing the high seas of this stream chat. All right, take your little boat, turn it around. Don't play some Wind Waker or something. All right, you'd love that. It'll come out and switch next month. I mean, not next month, all month. That's over here. We didn't ask what he needed. Catherine put it before we asked how you met him. Was it in person? Why are you ignoring like the significant questions and just being a troll staying in the Vegas? You know, Matthew's Park, which is a park in Minnesota that I've never been to. And I definitely never drove all the way to Minnesota two hours away to get a memory card. Unless it's Nintendo Primes Park, we don't care. Well, if you mentioned something that was like literally three blocks from my house, I maybe believe that maybe something happened. I don't remember, but I wouldn't drive two hours to go get a memory card. It's that'd be a dumb waste of money just in gas. All right, all of this is to say, we'll move on. But you you play stupid games. You ask stupid questions in the chat. You win stupid prizes. Let's go. Oh, boy, I I didn't say you or you go in anyone. I don't know what you're talking about and you're not giving me enough information. That's all I can say. All right. Let's see here. Are we done with Mario Wonder? We move on. How are we? We didn't have a while. We said, you know, we got way, way, way before we move on. We didn't have a taker. Sixth and it came with the two bucks. You want to know that? Nintendo lands of the bosses were big disappointments. I wanted to bring that up because, like for me, I will admit that, like, outside of, like, maybe the final boss, the I don't understand why they kind of just reuse the same boss every time. And that was that's like my one criticism of the game so far. Yeah, Bowser. Yeah, Bowser Jr. Just used over and over and over. And I understand the fights are different every time, of course. Yeah, but it gives me imprisoned vibes from Skyward. So like I'm just doing the same guy every time. I mean, I guess it's they made it so that at least one element of the game could kind of stay the same for the younger generation, you know, to the younger kids to kind of, OK, well, at least we know, we know, like, we can stop on this guy three times. Oh, wait, four times this guy. Oh, wait, five times. OK, one. So yeah, that's what I think about that. Yeah, I mean, anyone else have any time? I mean, I don't know. Most of us aren't deep enough in the game. Yeah, I think I'll have probably a different opinion. Yeah, but yeah, but you did say that, Nate, that that's actually true. You know, it is kind of like the same boss and kind of defeated almost the same way, but there's certain different circumstances that means boss that kind of makes it unique in that in that particular way. You know, and so I guess to me, they were fine. Me, they were fine, you know, I like the game. So I don't have I have no complaint whatsoever. I wish it was longer, but that's it. I've only done two of the bosses. So this is where only having done two worlds is kind of steps in it. But I will say that the bosses aren't the high point of the game. They're OK, like they're fine. But yeah, definitely, like, you know, like when I play 3D Mario games, those are good boss fights. Like the first the first boss in Mario 64, Balamb King Epic, like the first boss in Mario Galaxy when you're fine. I think it's on what good a galaxy where you're fighting like P.D. Piranha, like like a dinosaur version of him, Epic. When you're fighting the giant space dragon, Galaxy 2, Epic. When you're fighting Bowser Jr. in this castle. OK, stomping, you know, in Cuba, like I guess some people might think, well, it's a 2D Mario game, what do you expect? But like there are a lot of 2D games that have epic boss fights that you look at Metroid Dread, look at any Castlevania game. They have amazing boss fights like you can still have an amazing boss fight and it only be a 2D game. So what can you can you have amazing boss fights and keep it still at a level where kids can beat them to. Sure, I think maybe more, more creative ways to defeat the boss instead of just stopping on the guy like three times, you know. So maybe you can it can be done. Yeah, maybe if you go to a fire level, you know, it's fire that you have to only shoot ice crystals or ice power up at it. Or it's kind of, you know, something different, right? And rather than just kind of like the stopping thing. But to me, it was it was fine. It's good. Maybe the boss is going to be bigger. Maybe the bosses should be level. Is this really, dude, Bowser's Fury? That's that's my number one game, Bowser. It's not even a full game, but it's still my number one Mario game. Big bad Bowser. Interesting. Sorry, guys, I was a little distracted. No, you're fine. Go to 10 doing the Wowie Zowie as well. Thank you so much for that. All right, let's move on. I guess it's something more controversial and because it's so controversial, I'm going to do a shot for that five dollars because I look Nintendo did a thing this week. They did a thing this week that has caused a lot of division online, mostly because there's people that just hate the Smash Bros. community because of some of the really unfortunate things that have happened and come to light over the last few years with predators and getting people underage drunk and a bunch of just finding out that there's some shitty people in the world. Who knew shitty people exist everywhere, including in the Smash Bros. community. But also people aren't just upset about that. They're upset because Nintendo put out guidelines for tournaments, which, by the way, aren't just about Smash Bros. even though that's the most popular type of Nintendo tournament. And in these guidelines are a lot of very, very strange language that, in my opinion, amounts to Nintendo basically saying, we just don't want you to run tournaments ever. And they probably would have been less controversial if they would have just came out and said that. But then they said, no, you can run tournaments and you can get them licensed by us and be like official and not have to worry about us getting mad and shutting you down. But here's a crap load of restrictions and the restrictions have to do with how much you can charge for entry fees and for people to watch and you can't provide things like water or food for people to purchase and actually eat while they're there. Also, you can't get sponsors, so you can't get anyone to sponsor food for the event to provide to the people that are there all day long, which is kind of weird. You can't make a single penny over the cost of the actual venue and all this stuff, which supposedly you're just supposed to be a master budgeter that knows everything and knows that every person is going to show up and actually pay their fees. So you can actually cover everything. You can't have a bigger prize pool than like $5,000 in total, by the way, for all like, say, 200 max participants you can have in person. And you can only only money you can put towards the prize pool. It can't be money from from from selling $15 tickets, the max you can charge for people to be in person. No one can only come from the $20 max entry fee you can charge to the participants. So when I mentioned, oh, $5,000, you might go, well, you mentioned 200 people, 200 times 20 is not 5,000. Yeah, that's right, because if you're doing an online only tournament, you can have 300 people and that's 20 bucks. So he actually did an in person event. The max prize pool money can only be $4,000. Also, people with disabilities, you just don't get to participate in these tournaments. You can only use officially licensed Nintendo accessories. There is an accessibility controller by PowerA that is officially licensed by Nintendo. The problem is none of the accessories for it are. So it's just a standard controller and you can't actually use the disability accessories that you need to actually play games. So now people with disabilities just can't even participate. So there's a lot more language in that and there's a great breakdown. If you guys want to go watch a hungry boxes video, you can put up a video on it, breaking down why people are upset about this. And obviously he's going to have some bias because he's a professional Smash Bros. player, but I'm not someone who's deep into the tournament stuff. But like, how do you guys feel about this? Because, I mean, I still stand like Nintendo would have just said, you just can't run tournaments at all. It would have just been less controversial than what they're doing. Yeah, I feel like I know what they're doing. What they're doing is throwing everything at the wall at the beginning of them basically allowing this and seeing what sticks, seeing how people react and then to kind of it's like the YouTube thing. Remember at the beginning when YouTube was playing video games on YouTube and using their property in YouTube, there was like a lot of restrictions and you had to pay them for, you know, share the revenue with them for gameplay on your channel and all that. Can I just add something to this real quick? But I think it's really important, but I didn't see it on the podcast list. Because didn't it happen at the same time or very close together that Nintendo decided to come out with all these guidelines for content creators sharing things that come from leaks and stuff? So it seems like they did this, they did that. It seems like they're doing all this stuff that they know people won't like right now. So when maybe when they release like a new console like this, which too, maybe all this stuff's already been in the books for a few months so they can start enforcing stuff really hard right out the gate and be like, no, we did that last year. Yeah, what I think is in that sort of line, but I think that they're doing the same thing with content, with what they do with content creators, putting all these rules and regulations and enforcement but so that they know how people are going to react to it and they can kind of say, OK, we'll take away a couple of them. We'll take those ones, but keep the ones that they really want in place there. You know what I mean? So it's like it's like I'm going to throw all this at you and I'm going to put some of the things that I really want in there. You're going to be upset of all this stuff, but this is what I really want in there. So what they'll do is to keep us happy only they're removing some some regulations. OK, at least that's the one for us, but they actually won because they they they actually implemented exactly what they wanted to do. So to me, that's what I feel like they're doing. Yeah, that's my quality. I just don't want your immense around for me. Like I've never been a fan of like people with like disabilities. Like if I see someone on wheels here, I'm like, you gross. You know what I mean? So it's like I'm a big fan of what Nintendo is doing. Like this is keeping it clean. Like, hey, I don't you know, hey, you got to use like a crutch or whatever. Oh, like, don't don't don't touch me. Don't play video games with me. So I think that's what Nintendo values as well. And that's the message they're sending. So you can hate me if you want. But just know that this is how Nintendo feels about you. Like, yeah, and yeah, that's that's what they're all about over there. Obviously, I'm being sarcastic. I mean, I'm actually I'm disabled myself. So if you know, it's like how like. Certain words. I'm not going to say that sentence, but I can make fun of myself because I am disabled. I am. But yeah, it's it is ridiculous, especially the fact that they are going out of their way to make sure people know this is for smaller tournaments, too. Like, yeah, what if you're in a community that happens to have like a couple disabled gamers like and you've done tournaments for a long time and it's like, oh, now you can't play with us because your controller is not the Nintendo first party one that you can't use vacations and no yeah. And who's hurting like, I don't know. I think maybe when Nintendo made this decision, they didn't really think about it. Hopefully they'll add like an amendment that specifies like specifically people with disabilities could can use their, you know, whatever controller, you know, they they need to use, you know, obviously maybe put some limitation on it like they can't have something that auto plays the game for you. But I don't know for like small tournaments for fun. I mean, big tournaments, I get it. You have to have everyone using the standard thing. And that that kind of isn't fair. But for smaller ones, it's like what, you know, people say Nintendo ninjas. Is it even a big tournament anymore when the Max Prize and for in person tournaments, four thousand dollars. And that's for everyone. Not just being more than that. I'll say this mate to that. It's not about the money. It's about the exposure. So I still think that like the most popular tournaments could still be considered big ones or put it this way. I didn't get into some of the fine details here. So when you are naming and advertising your tournament, you can't use any of Nintendo's characters or any of Nintendo's game names. The only time the game name can come up is a brief mention in the description that that's what the tournament's about. At the actual event, better not be playing any music from any of the games. You can't have any images of the games anywhere. The games only appear in the cartridge on the official Nintendo console and on the screen. They can have any Nintendo, anything, anywhere in the venue. So you're going to a room. It's all gray and like dark and everything. Like what's what's happening here? What we have? Oh, we're having a tournament. Well, you know who used to be crazy about that kind of stuff, too, is Disney. They would like go into like privately owned daycares. And if there was Disney characters painted on the wall, they would like copyright strike them. And like they were like taking the court. Get the baby nuts. And if there was a baby where he was all about it, he actually was a Nazi or like Nazi support. I don't know. But you know what I'm saying? I don't know. You didn't know that about Disney? No, I'm not saying I don't know the past. I'm just saying I'm like, I don't like to bring it up. We might have actual kids watching and now they're going to go to their parents and ask, what's on that? That is Mickey and Nazi. And then their parents will know. All right, don't let your kids stay up past 10 anymore. All right. That's your fault. That's your parenting decision that caused it. Seven thirty in parts in parts of the U.S. So sorry for educating them about the world. Like you want your kid to be an adult that doesn't know Walt Disney was a terrible human being. Come on. The worst things have been said on the show. Oh, I know what it is. So Jake's just he's piloted on it. Totally keeping it clean right now. All night. Hey, I'm trying to give our guests a show. That is true. What's the what's the coast with with magic and stuff, too? Is pretty pretty crazy. Oh, true. Borefest. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? Puff magic, right? You means. Oh, here we go. I would do that. Everyone knows that. Because I know that meant in sixth grade. Yeah, right. You know, I don't know if my kids know, though, to be honest. I don't think they do. Good thing. Andres, you have any thoughts on any of this crap? I'm just calling it crap at this point because I don't there's nothing good about any of it, to be really to be honest, I haven't really looked into it too much. I will say I used to go to a lot of Pokemon tournaments. And I don't know how this relates to the Pokemon tournaments, like if it's separate or not. But I'll say I'd like to be able to eat food at tournaments. That's nice. And I think not having music like I'll just say from a from a perspective of wanting there to be Nintendo games that become popular and have a huge tournament scene, not being able to do these things makes that more challenging. Now, I guess I wonder, can Nintendo host it on their own outside? Like I just haven't read this. Like I really just don't I'm not informed enough. Like I'm just kind of glanced at it because I see the social media talk on it. But I think it's unfortunate that we haven't seen Nintendo capitalize on what they could do with tournaments. Like I think I think there's a lot of potential to make some really epic tournaments that Nintendo actually put like something behind this. Like if they could do this right and they don't, you know, that's unfortunate. I mean, they can make a rule they can only sell Nintendo theme steam snacks like a Super Mario ice cream sandwich. You know, that that'll I can't sell anything. Yeah, you can't sell merch canceling nothing. You bring your own food. Can you bring your own food? You're right. You can bring a sack lunch. That's crazy self food. No, no. But but if they are happened to be parked a food truck outside the venue, not part of the event, but it's not part of the event. Yeah, yeah, you can give my head. And fairness food inside convention centers usually isn't very good anyways. So you usually want to go outside to get food. Here's a fun thought. All IPs eventually go into public domain. Like Winnie the Pooh just went into public domain. You a company can't own it forever. It's like 100 plus years and then it has to go into public and anyone can do whatever they want with it. Yeah. It's still a long way to go for Nintendo franchises. But it could be at the end of our lifetime with depending on can you imagine when like all of a sudden people can start making like like porn and releasing it like releasing it commercially with like Mario and like Nintendo is going to literally their heads are going to explode. I mean, I don't know why that was the example I used any form of media. But you know, is that rule like to the United States or is it worldwide? I mean, we're in Nintendo Japan. So I think it's worldwide because it applied to Disney like everywhere and that film was distributed everywhere, the the Winnie the Pooh. So but yeah, obviously every place is different laws. So I am a little confused on it myself now that you mentioned it. But Bill. All right, at least Andreas is excited. I don't even know what to say right now. Yes, very. Just I can't. Yeah. So happy. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yoshi with that tongue. Yoshi. So any thoughts on the Mario Wonder on the new voice of Mario Wonder? How did he do? Oh, how is it just sounds like Mario? It doesn't even I don't even think about it the whole time. I could tell a difference, but I don't care. Yeah, it's not so like off-putting that you're like, oh, this doesn't sound like Mario. No, that's Mario. It's fine. Yeah. You know, like. Yeah, I hate to say it next. This sounds so dismissive of Charles Marnay, but it's like, look, this does he's been doing the voice for so long. Well, I'll say this. The new voice actor had the template laid down pat. He didn't have to create the character like Charles did. He just had to copy it perfectly, which a lot of people can do great Mario or Yoshi impressions. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I think it's it's still props to Charles that he made the character so iconic that it's going to be copied in his artistic vision probably forever. And it's not him physically doing it. I mean, and the thing is I think it'd be different if they if he if they weren't paying Charles anymore and he wasn't still working for Nintendo and being like, they just said, screw, we're kicking you out. We're done. We're not paying anymore. You're done. You're out of here because, yeah, they replaced his voice, but they're still being respectful to him. And now they have a new younger voice actor in who I don't know if he'll be doing every game, maybe he just doing this game. It will have a different actor for every game who the hell knows. But I honestly, I never really found the whole situation to be controversial in the first place. I know people made it that way, because Charles always said he wanted to basically voice Mario till he died. But it's one of those is like the opposite of Walt Disney. What an awesome human being. Like, I don't know if you've seen like any of his like quotes or like him just talking like in general, but he is like so positive and uplifting. And even after the Mario thing, he had nothing but nice things to say about Nintendo. Yeah, it reminds me of what an awesome human being, man. It does remind me of Walt Disney. They're very similar in that way, you know, I'm sorry, I hope you're OK. Like when Walt Disney created the voice for for Mickey Mouse and then everybody else kind of would have, you know, followed that. So there's a similar. Yeah, I remember people loved. I forget if if the actor died during or a new one replaced it, but it was the Kingdom Hearts, Mickey. Yeah, yeah, like one. Yeah, he died and he was replaced by the general guy. Got it. OK. Yeah. Before we're too far removed from what Jake was saying about Walt Disney, just talking about things, things like that. But such factors should do some Hitler trivia. It's a reference to Michigan State right before they got romped, like forty nine, nothing. They had Hitler trivia in the pregame up on the big. Yeah. Oh, that's fun and educational. Yeah, it's it's actually something that happened at a college football game. That is what it is. Um, I might as well throw this out there, and we're kind of done with this whole topic. But hey, did you know that the only reason that Jordan brand exists for Nike is because Adidas was racist and they were Nazis? Here we go. They were like they were they were all German and like huge Hitler and they but they were all super old in the 80s when like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were all wearing it. I learned that and then they freaked out Michael Jordan's parents so they wouldn't let him sign with Adidas even when we wanted to. And that's how we got Jordan brand Nike. Yeah, I saw that in that movie, like the Amazon movie. Yeah, they thought they mentioned that a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, they talk more about Nike's whole side of it because Nike was actually in a lot of they weren't doing well. When Adidas met with them on the table, they were like all German like that. Like that's like. Yeah, but if you look at the actual like back story, like you could probably even like find a Wikipedia. Like like they did cover it well in the movie, but it goes a lot deeper. Like I don't say it lately. Like they really were. It was crazy. Yeah, like I was a good actor. Anyways, so I don't have anything else for this week. You got to have one. It was awesome. I did not have the Nazi regime. I didn't go for it for the pocket. I'm not going to get it right. Hey, guys, all I wanted to do was talk about Advanced Wars a little bit. OK, I was just warming the waters. Advanced Wars one plus we were camp. Guys, they were wondered. I could recommend it. Mario Wonder is amazing. And if you've been already, then play Advanced Wars one to reboot camp. So the last type of guys are just Q and a. You guys want to see me dream my valley. OK, sorry. Yeah, sorry. You just super chat your questions in a couple of bucks and you can make us talk about pretty much any topic you want. As long as it's video game related, please please keep it video game related. But if I hear no more person mentioned Matthews Park, I'm going to need to get some question number. Do you guys have anything else you want to talk about this week? Because I have no idea. I just play Mario and I've been barely getting videos up. OK, so I do have one thing, but it also I want this after you take. Well, I'll do mine first, just because it's not Nintendo. It's just gaming related on hot dog. No, it's a jelly donut. Oh, but what's it called? Oh, just because it came out, obviously, I haven't had a chance to play it yet myself, but has anyone played Spider-Man, too? I mean, I think that's a big enough release. We can maybe mention it for a sec if anyone has. That's my next game after Wonder. Yeah, one of those. Yeah, but I was. Should we next week? You're going to treat yourself to the next event on the next podcast. We talk about what we're going to play in. I bet you I'll have already started. You know, that was Sony's most viewed and liked tweet in their entire history as a company. Which one? When they tweeted out the collector's edition and all they said was treat yourself to 19 inches of venom. Because of the statue, it was their most quoted tweet, most viewed tweet, most liked tweet. It was a brilliant tweet. Yeah, that whoever intern did that just got a big promotion. Yeah, yeah. That couldn't have been me, Sony, hiring me. I would have done that like 20 times by now. So what I was going to say, I might be in my PG corner in my little PG corner. We're actually in the middle of Mario's 40th anniversary. So basically all these Mario games coming out. Next game coming out is Mario RPG. Yep. Technically not. Isn't WarioWare first? Well, yeah, yeah, that's that itch. You're right. Yeah. But, you know, so I know there was eight Mario games out of ten games that were being released at one point. It's a lot of Mario games. There's a lot more coming up here. Yeah. And then, of course, Princess Peach in March. And then, man, Princess Peach, Thousand Year Door, Luigi's Mansion. Yeah, Mario vs Donkey Kong. Mario vs Donkey Kong, that's Mario, Mario, Mario. 80 percent of all of all the games we know about next year are Mario related. And they're celebrating the 40th anniversary without really saying it. And we think it's going to be a 3D Mario game at launch. There you go. Another Mario game. Pile it on. Yeah, that's a cool game. It is a cool disc. I like that. They cut the pretty. I just I just got a little triggered by something in chat. I don't know if I can. Yeah, you did everything else you brought up from chat early. You know, I just go for it. All right. Someone said Spider-Man 2 is mid. It's basically the same as the first game, but different story and some light upgrades. You know, are you kidding me? That's like saying that, like, Keel O'Neal is mid. He's basically Hakeem O'Ajuan, which is like a few. Like, that's amazing. Like the first one, like your girlfriend is mid. She's just like Kate Upton with a few upgrades. And like, are you kidding? Like, where do I sign up? Like, if that's mid, then give me something out of that trash. Even like, like just per scale. That's perfect. Also, your name is Joe Taku. That's Kotaku with a few downgrades. All right. That's playing a lot. All right. I'm done. Oh, he's out. Joe Taku, thank you for being good sport. Obviously, I'm messing around. I appreciate you, bro. It's all part of the bit. Oh, my God, he acts like it's a bit. I think I'm in real life. I don't think it's a bit. And also, Risky, I do the same thing to you. I know that you don't think Quest 64 is the best game ever made. I just think it's funny to say that every time. Not a bad bird. I see he's all into it. Yeah, Kotaku's trash. He even agrees. That was a good one. Yeah. We did have a question come in from Taker 610. He said, is Charles Martin, a French Canadian? I have no idea. No, he's American. American. America. America. America. Yeah, I like the back cover to look. I mean, yeah, that's pretty cool. Is that the inside? Right, even the Hunter. Yeah, it's pretty cool. No, that's back cover. I don't know if it's supposed to be reversible or is the inside, but I flipped it. No, he reversed it. Oh, OK, so it's the inside. Got you. But whatever. Cool. Looks sweet. Yeah, I'm going to get it physically or digitally yet, because most of my PS5 stuff is digital, but. Hey, man, I hope you get it physically every night. I'm on a roll. I'm being honest. I usually get it physically. No one thinks so except me, though, but it's OK. That's what she said. Andres is going to be like, guys, we have a talk. I don't know if I want to come back. You're right. That's what she said. Honestly, today's just been a very rough day for me. Maybe, maybe, maybe Andres needs this. He needs the crew to do it. I don't know about that. This is why I always say to keep it clean, because this is what happens when I don't keep it clean. Here's a here's an interesting question coming in from but not the 712 specifically for Jake. Best game of all time, Quest 64 or Sonico 6? Oh, God, well, you're basically asking me, do I prefer Kate Upton or Kate Upton with upgrades? And to be honest with you, they're even without the upgrades on the in heaven. So to choose between those two absolute gems is an impossible task. I got two questions. What's what's Quest 64 and what's Kate Upton? Quest 64 subjectively is one of the greatest games of all time. And objectively, you cannot dispute this. It is one of the best. It is one of the top 10 RPGs ever made for the Nintendo 64. I already don't like it. I think it was like an open world RPG on 64. It's yeah, it's it's like it's a meme like how how awful it is. And then Sonico 6 is like the Quest 64 of 2006. So both games are really working out in 1964. Sonico 6 came out in 2006. OK, same thing now considered really bad. However, I will say back in the day I did like Quest 64. I was I was a fan. I beat the game like it. It was fun to me, man. Like we didn't have a lot of 3D RPGs back then. So like I don't know Quest 64 I could see being really, really good. If you were a super young kid that couldn't play any like too young for Pokemon, even because you just didn't have the reading comprehension. Yeah. What are you? No, no, no, but like genuinely, because it does give you. I was an RPG experience. But it's I know I didn't mean that as a knock at night. I just meant in general that you could have a style I could see. Because it's just like, well, it was a good game. I've played it for those maps to the C button and you just go and just push those buttons to everything. And that's all you do has the ladies, you know, the ladies are normal. As for Kate Upton, she is a supermodel. OK, that does like sports illustrated some suit additions. And she's got a supermodel. All right, she is the wife of the goat, Justin Berlander. She is the wife of Justin Berlander. Yeah, was that he's a pitcher. He's basically like me. If I was like a pitcher. She's a pitcher. So I would love to be Justin Berlander's catcher. I'd be his personal catcher. Well, put it this way, Mike, a huge chunk of the world, why they consider us Kate Upton to be like one of the hottest people in existence? Just like generic. I disagree. I think it's my wife. I got to go to her now. Oh, so sweet, so sweet, so innocent. A six nine comes in Mario rocket propelled grenade. Never played it. What? What? What is that? What is that? Is that exists? MRPG. An MRPG. OK. OK, I see it. An MRPG. R.P.G. Is that a paper Mario is an RPG named named nine more for N64. Yeah, I definitely cannot. Mario Party. That's not an RPG. The term based game, they defeat people. It's not an RPG, it's a board game. It's a party game. The RPGs for N64 like Quest 64. Oh, we got Mario. Paper Mario. Paper Mario. Hybrid Heaven. Harvest 60 Harvestman 64 is technically an RPG. It is. It's literally listed as an RPG. Hybrid Heaven is another one. I think about things like 64. Yes, 64. Let's see here. Custom Robo V2. Mega Man. Japan only make my legends back then. Yeah, they call it Mega Man 64. But yeah, I guess that kind of it's the same thing. Right. Chrono Resurrection. Is that from Chronos Cross? Kind of like that same same franchise. That has to be Japan only. I've never heard of that. Yeah, it might have been Japan only. I mean, there's there's only like 24 RPGs even on N64. Oh, more than I would have thought. There's more than 10. So a lot of them I haven't heard of. And like part of it, they're like their Kony Pokemon and Pokemon Stadium, like Pokemon Stadium and Stadium too. And I wouldn't consider those RPGs. But then again, you do Pokemon, I don't know. Because yeah, because everyone said at the time, how badly we wish they were when they, you know, remember that? Yeah, it wasn't a Pokemon. I mean, our console is a Pokemon. They were awesome is what they were, but yeah. We're still waiting for a quality console 3D Pokemon. I mean, this thing has the top legends. Arceus, P.D. Ultraman Collection 64. See, I actually wasn't a fan of legends. Arceus, Andres, I felt it felt too empty to me. Oh, you take that back. No, it felt like a tech demo. And when they release the next one, I bet you'll feel the same way because a lot of people I love Breath of the Wild, but a lot of people feel like, OK, Breath of the Wild was like the beta project. And then Tears of the Kingdom was like the alpha. And I feel like it'll be like that to a much bigger extreme with Pokemon legends. I will say this, this one website called retro dodo.com has the 15 best N64 RPGs of all time. They do have Quest 64 at number nine. They put it ahead of eight in Chronicles, the first major. And I thought that one was actually pretty good, too. Oh, yeah, but it's ahead of that just behind Custom Robo. One thing that the N64 was the goat of is racing games. Of course, they did put the Zelda games on there's RPGs and and wrestling games. Wrestling, yeah, WCW. Yep, gauntlet legends. That was a good game and arcade. But I was so I was such an introvert with the 64. I was playing my only play, like, imagine if the switch had brand new F zero Mario Kart, even like Disney's Magic Racing. What was the rare one with Conker and stuff? Oh, Diddy Kong racing and 64 was great for those racers. Yeah, yeah, they were good for 3D platformers, too. Very agreed. Very good for that. But not to 712 just reminding us that, you know, remember, Scott, the wise all taught us, hey, by the literal definition of the words RPG, almost anything can be an RPG. As long as you're playing a game, any game. I mean, you put in a gunpowder behind it, of course it will. Oh, boy, good. And one of the things is that's like tame. I don't know what we're going on in the show today. So well, the RPG for I just I just like just like some pun. It's a dad joke. Oh, it's just maker is an awesome game for the N64. It's made by a treasure, treasure, treasure. You don't know the studio treasure? No, I've heard of them from and from my 64 era. And like Super Nintendo, Genesis, they made like, what's that? They like the shooter game. Charles probably helped me out Firefox, Gunstar heroes. We have one star heroes. Firefox. This is at the browser. Firefox is a browser. Yeah. The browsers right now. What does that mean? You know that we didn't have a lot to talk about today. When Firefox, I mean, let's go. All right. Look, you know, best browser, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, OG, Netscape, Internet Explorer. Just our ranking browser. Oh, man, Netscape. That's a name I haven't heard in many, many years, literally. What do you guys think about the brand new Dragon Ball series? Wait, what's that? The new Dragon Ball. I'll wait. I'll wait until the episodes come out. But it's obviously like a stopgap. It's not it's like a side series is how I feel it. Right. It's not. It's not. It's not. I mean, they're still going to do Super eventually. But yeah, sure. I'm into it. People are complaining because it looks like they went back to DT, like DT. That's not. Yeah. I think I think the timeline wise, it's before Super. Oh, really? Last I heard. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Right. Yeah. Yeah, it's not. I don't think it's meant to. I think the confusion is that some people think it's meant to like just completely forget about Super. I don't think it's just like a side thing. Yeah. Like one does not mean the other doesn't exist or is not coming later. It's just another project. Yeah. I hope you're coming later. We'll see. Can't think of that. I mean, I literally said exactly what he just said. Who? Who said? But it's how it's coming here. I hope it is, too. But it's how you say it. How you say it adds a lot to the things. Infection. I don't understand why. Can you explain that to me? I'd rather not. I think you're a well. It's like you're gaslighting me because you can't even explain what you're accusing me of. Look, look, look, we had Redbeard trying to explain earlier what he's accusing me of, and I still am confused. So, you know what? I will say, I wanted to say this earlier. I said it in the chat. He was an obvious troll, dude. He was an obvious troll. He threw, you know, he hit me with a confused Ray. I am now confused. Oh, let's go. I'm celebrating. I'm hurting myself with confusion over here. So I'm sorry that I can't explain things. I'm just. What's your what's your favorite Pokemon, mate? Charizard. So basic. All right. Basic. Mine's Pikachu. No, not like not the mega Charizard or the blue Charizard. None of that. You're basic. Yeah, basic Charizard, right? I'm a Gen 1. I love Wyzard. What's that Pikachu? Everybody has a question. Wyzard? Yeah, Charizard. Why Wyzard? It's like, oh, Wyzard. I thought you said Wyzard. I was like, what? No, no, Wyzard. Just Wyzard. Yeah, I just like dragons that look like dragons. Wait, Wyzard's the orange one, right? Yeah. That one's so weird, dude. The Charizard X is so much cooler. Well, I like Wyzard because it's like it looks like a proper evolution of Charizard. Charizard X is like a very, is like a side. It's a side project. Are you Mewtwo X or Y? Well, Mewtwo Y looks a little Mewtwo. So what's cool about that is that Mewtwo Y feels like it's going back to the roots of what Mew is. You know, I agree. So I like, I like, but. Yeah, it seems like he's going into the like the kind of like the primal, like the the physical fighting of Mewtwo more. I yeah, I agree. What? Just like he's just a gentleman of color you are. What a nice take. I'm going to interrupt here just to insert Lechonk. Chonk is my go to. Lechonk. Lechonk. Lechonk is pretty cool. You OK? I don't like his evolutions at all. No, no, no, you know, you got to keep him big. You got to keep him Lechonk. You can't you can't. I evolved Lechonk and I don't like it. It turns into some kind of like a pig. Well, it just becomes now Lechonk is the best. Yeah, my favorite Pokemon does change often because since I play them so much. But right now it's it's Totodile 1,000 percent. Oh, Totodile. And you're calling me basic. Dude, Charizard is literally the most like overused and basic Pokemon in the series. Totodile is completely under the radar and ass. What? Sorry. Can't help that he's so bad ass that he gets overused. But like just in terms of actually true fans, a lot of us love Charizard, but we're also sick of Charizard at the same time. Yeah. Well, I'm not sick of them, but, you know, all right, I speak for me. Yeah, I like Squirtle. I'm just naming basic the most basic ones I can think of. I like I like I actually play for you guys. I like a suey and you can still hit it. Typhlosion. It's not going to play. Well, if I do this, I can't get into Typhlosion because why I like Typhlosion was like his flames. But the three games, they don't go. And then I guess the suey is a little better than vanilla. But like I could still he looks so on intimidating without like his flames coming out of his neck. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's definitely like I hear you there, but I just like the whole concept of it. I got you. It was I the only one that used to catch a metapod in the original games and nicknamed it penis. So I could say penis used harden. You're not the only one, but I wasn't one of them. Oh, OK. I've definitely never done that. Yeah, me either. Actually, I was just kidding. I was just. I just I read that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. Hey, look, I have a controller. I'm sure you read it a lot. So you read things. Yeah, so let's talk about which is also funny. Let's talk about that rumor that's probably fake as hell. The Super Famicom button overlays and Mario Wonder. Yeah, like so what? Necrophilipe started talking. I saw him talking about it on Twitter. Supposedly it came from some sort of like reddit post, but I never I never saw any evidence of the actual at all. He is probably right up here. Yeah, I would assume you would have tried doing research on it. Sleuth trying to find this the source. So I don't know what you think. Yeah, yeah, the data mine is fake as hell. Right. Yeah, it's really fake. So I didn't make any video on it. I would have made a video on it if it wasn't fake. Yeah, I saw the original post and like, yeah, I'm not making a video on it. This is probably like a quote to it. And I was like, oh, OK, cool. Like, we've already seen a weird tweet where like the dude like was like, show me where it said that on Reddit. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, people were getting so weird about that. The people get weird about a lot of things. I just like, dude, I glanced around, didn't see anything to it. Also, I already made a video on button colors like two months ago. I don't really feel like, oh, even if another game has it, here's more proof that you don't need shit. We don't even know if the button colors mean anything that are in whoever was giving you shit on Twitter. Did the same thing when Spawn was on it? So until there's actual evidence, it means something at this point. Who really went literally put in his news wave this morning? They did. Yes, I was he correcting people because there are some people that think it's something. No, no, he was like reporting on it. And I wonder if that that that Twitter dude, this is the same energy. Yeah, I kind of mentioned that he doesn't really believe it. He doesn't because it's no sort. There's no real source to it. It doesn't really fall back. One of the buttons has like a red dot on it for some reason. Yeah, like like they obviously forgot. They forgot to kind of see how that happens. Like I could fake buttons right now and not have right. Right. Or maybe that was the point. They put the mistake in there on purpose and they still ran with it. Just I have a feeling on who it was because I've seen it in this YouTuber's thumbnails a lot recently. This is this, you know, famous youtuber. Or some mutual beef. He does that. He does that. He does a lot of theory videos, you know, fears of tears of the kingdom. That's how the industry started right now. And yeah, so I'm pretty sure I think I think it. I hear a lot of theory videos tears of the kingdom. I'm thinking on this moment. Have you made any theory videos on tears of the kingdom recently? No, you haven't. Yeah, I have. He's expanding me on Zelda theories lately. Why would why do I see an OBS? Yeah, he could. Jay Jay. I'll be right back. He doesn't know how to keep it clean. There's ways to turn off the camera without. I guess if there's a rumor. I guess what I'm talking about is it is that if. If we start hearing a little, that would be huge, but it's obviously fake. So yeah. And how about switch to release time? The time of time. If it wasn't real, why would it be huge? So that's what she said. It was. All right. I'll explain. So if if there were actually like in the code for Mario Wonder, these Famicom style buttons as well. And then with Mario RPG also having it. And then with thousand year door also having, which it has no business having it because it was never on Famicom or Super Famicom ever. Like then that was kind of there. Then we have three different games that have it. There are more than three games that have it actually. All right. Three Nintendo games. There's already two, two other Nintendo games out that have it. I can't remember which ones they were. This is back when I reported on it. And there's like four third party games that have it as in their files, but not not in the actual game. And you play it. That's a lot. But it's just a correlation. Correlation is not a causation. Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot. It's fine to speculate on it, but I just don't think. And look, we're talking about a hypothetical system that's not even revealed. So I don't really like what happens if it's revealed, and that's not the color of the buttons. And what does the theory mean then to me? This is like talking about. Oh, this means something. Like, yeah, you can look at the past and go, sure, there's been something that's happened around the Amigo every time. We don't know what it means or if it means anything. Good. Could have just always been coincidence in the past. And it doesn't actually correlate or mean anything. Same with this. It could literally just be, Hey, we messed around with some commonly used Nintendo button colors over the last 30 years. And we decided to just go with the standard ones and call it a day. Like, it doesn't have to mean anything. Yeah. Yeah. And I did a video on this and I put that speculation out there, but it's always important to remember like, we're talking about a system that hasn't been on real. So if the system is unveiled and they don't have button colors, then what does any of it mean? Nothing. Well, it would have been, it would mean something else. I mean, I mean, they thought about it. The games are just compatible with the SNES controller that you can buy. I just need to say that someone that said their favorite Pokemon was Caterpie is that it's literally based on a Caterpie. It looks exactly like that, which is badass. Well, see, this is why I like a lot of the early Pokemon that were actually based on real life things. Right? Oh, yeah. You mean like the one that was just a pile of sludge? Yes. That's a real life thing. That is. So is every other Pokemon then? Look, I played Scarlet in a while. There's a Pokemon in there that don't look like they're based on anything in the real world. Like what? Pat, there's Pokemon in there that look like they're based on fan designs, but we're not going to go back. Like what? I'm not going, but we had this on the podcast a while ago, but some of the Pokemon might be… No, you can really back up your arguments. Now you've convinced me. Look, you should know this because you're deeper into Pokemon than I am. Oh, sorry, Eric. There we go. I can just be Eric. You can just be Eric. Hey, guys. Hey. Hey, Eric. Eric. And he moves at a different rate. So it can literally be two or three. I can just be Eric. I don't know how you do it. Oh, he's using OBS. We should like free people out one podcast and you'd be like, Vic, you're just making me so mad. I'm going to take over your whole body and you just like start shaking. And I'm like, stop, Eric, stop, stop. And then it just like turns into you. Oh, I lost it. Sorry. He's using OBS. I could inject OBS and then I could use all my shit. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. I don't have to just play this on the outside. All right. Are you using OBS with StreamYard? Yeah. OBS Virtual Camera. Yep. Okay. Yep. OBS Virtual Camera and then you're just using OBS and right under where it says start recording. Yeah. It says start virtual camera. Start virtual camera. Yep. So then you can use all your stuff you have set up in OBS in a stream if you wanted to. That's pretty cool. Okay. I totally forgot that that was a feature. And then when I saw him do the OBS, I'm like, oh, yeah. I don't know why I never think to do it, but. Because your setup is already complicated enough. But it might simplify it because then I'm like, how am I going to get squirtle? I mean, how am I going to get squirtle like into the stream? You get the microphone right down next to where the right down to the speaker. Right down to the speaker. Anyways, I literally have nothing else to talk about guys. What about the updated content guidelines? And yeah, that's what I mentioned in the beginning. Yeah. All over. Like kind of get another job. No data mining content. Anything like that. It's now. Well, so those guidelines came out of the tournament thing. So they probably don't even apply to YouTube. Content creators making like news videos. It probably only applies to Nintendo game content guidelines for online video and image sharing platforms. Is the very last thing featured. Yeah, I think it's a separate thing. I think it just came out close to the tournament. Read it. Read it off. Okay. So featured videos, images, sound sources, et cetera, that cannot be used in regular gameplay extracted through game software via data mining or other methods. And that is question. What do you mean by content that is unlawful infringing or inappropriate? I might be that they could be trying to crack down on the sharing of that content, but I don't know how you can crack down on the reporting that it exists. Because there's a freedom of press. Like once something's out there, you're allowed to report on it. But there's different, like you can report as an example, tears of the kingdom leaks, but you can't link to it and tell people how to find it. Yeah. And here's like the story slope with that though, because like the first person to report on it is technically breaking things and leaking it. Yeah. Then everyone else after can be like, oh, it was knowledge because they did it. You know what I mean? And it's just like weird data mining, like every switch update. Can he just not do that anymore? Yeah. So it's so weird. Remember the tears, the kingdom, our book leaked. Yeah. And channels or channels weren't taken down for just. No. Videos. Videos. Yeah. So it also depended on how much you shared. Yeah. Because if you just talked about it, it's okay. Yeah. And if you showed like two images, they wouldn't care. Or if you showed like more than 10, then like now. I remember when I did my analysis for it, I was deathly afraid. And I was, I took so much time to like really like change around each image, but still share, show what it is. And then last minute, I was like, you know what, even though I spent hours upon hours, like kind of doctoring the images so they still look like it, but they're not quite it. And I just bored them all because I was terrified of Nintendo. I literally showed 52 straight images in a video. And all Nintendo did is just say, yeah, we're not going to let that video be public anymore. All right. Cool. They didn't strike me nothing. And then they just, I mean, bent over a barrel and being shown the 50 states. No, they, they, they, so Golan Harris emailed me after that. And I just said, Hey, man, we're just, you know, we know that you're a news reporter, but like, hey, yeah, you can put a couple in a news report. No, don't share 50 plus me. Am I all right? Sorry. I'm excited. I'm a Zelda guy. Yeah. I didn't get in trouble. I didn't get in trouble for what I posted. Well, you're literally getting in trouble for just talking about it. And that's what, and that's what I mean about the data. Like, can I get in trouble just talking about something I didn't do myself? Like, I put out a tweet on this the other day in case it was related to content creators and I was like, go ahead. My lawyer is on standby. Send me the cease and desist that I can't cover this anymore. Yeah, I saw that because they're not going to. This is a little busy because maybe I need to cancel a subscription to a United Kingdom based newspaper trying to stand by baby. They're trying to scare people like oatmeal dome away from, from data mining stuff that Nintendo doesn't want out in the public yet. As an example, like we found out about headphone support coming to the switch before Nintendo announced it. Why? Because it's data mined out of a switch update. The funny thing is, all the stuff that gets data mined out that we find out before Nintendo doesn't is stuff Nintendo should have just told us about in the first place. None of it's like groundbreaking stuff. Or just don't put it. We're going to have Bluetooth support headphones. How about just have that day one? Like I shouldn't even be. Or just don't put it in the update until you're ready to do it. Nah, there's that too. Yeah. I mean, you can comment all the shit out you want, but if you're not ready, just don't include it in your update. It's not that hard. Yeah. So I think they're just trying to curb data minors, but let's just be honest. It's the Internet. And until someone gets in massive legal trouble, no. Right. Yeah. Until they make an example out of someone, no one's going to care. Pretty much. It's kind of like these smash tournaments. Like people are going to still try to run them. And until the Nintendo actually shows up with lawyers and the legal team to shut it down. People are just going to keep doing them. Mia Mota will personally take you out back and shoot you in the kneecap. Although the Pokemon company has literally gone and shut down fan Pokemon events. So, you know, if they're taking cues from them, Nintendo might actually show up and sort of shut them down. Those things. Those things. Yeah. But I'm not really worried about it guys because they're because the Freedom of Press Act does allow me to cover things. I just can't. Maybe I can't link to where I saw it anymore. Yeah. But actually, I would want to link to where I saw it because that's the guy. How about there? Well, Nintendo would probably want me to link to them to help them find people. Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys know what a round robin is? Go to 4chan. Right. Have some robin that's round. I don't know. So it's not it's not anything bad. Basically, like back in the day on like ships or whatever when they would decide to play in a mutiny to like take over the ship from the captain. It would sign around robin. And basically it was like a contract but instead of signing your name at the bottom, there'd be a circle with another circle in the middle and no one signed in the middle and people would just sign all around the circle. So if anyone ever found it, it couldn't prove who was the leader of the mutiny. There's no first signature. There's no one at the bottom. So what we need to do is education make a bunch of sleeper cell websites that all report the link and link to another website. But one website links back to this one, which links back to this one, which links back to the original one. So it's all like in a thing. So no one can get in trouble. Yeah. So it's like a round robin of sleeper cell agents to take down the Nintendo ninjas. You can't take down the Nintendo ninjas. That's your opinion. There might be one in the chat right now. Hi, ninja. I'd say bring it on. I like a challenge. Redbeard. That was just a warning. How did World War two work out for you? Full circle. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Extra circle. By the round robin also means tournament. Yeah. Oh, OK. I thought it was pretty obvious that I was talking about like mid-century like ships mutinies. No, it's a good. It's a good. It's a good factoid, though. Like that. I didn't know about that. That aspect of round robin. I didn't know you were talking about that place where you had burgers and shakes. That's baskin robins. Or baskin robins. No. Red robin. Red robin. Yeah. I really got really good fries there. Really good fries. They do. They do. They have all you can eat fries. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not paid yet. OK. Maybe tomorrow. Want to go to bread robin right now. Maybe tomorrow. I got a pending payment. I don't have it yet. I read. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. If you go there during their happy hour whenever it is, you can get half price. Wait a minute. What? Have a happy hour. Yeah. Do you want to play Mario Wonder or the happy hour? What is? I mean, they literally have tablets there with like gambling games and stuff on them. They pretty much encourage it, I'd say. Cool. What is that? They have like those tablets. That's how you order and there's like games on it too. They're basically just like little tablets. I've only gambled once in my life. I was like 18. I was gonna say the same thing every time I go on a friend so it's not my youtube channel and I decide not to wear pants or underwear like well I remember that I shouldn't stand up I always take that gamble there's all I mean come on you want to go to a gamble I mean I show speed I'm just saying he took a pretty big gamble there looks like a day off me on stream and wears underwear that has a hole I'm just I'm just look man things happen you got too excited that's what she said probably is what she said probably many she's you know those underwear that it would show in like old-timey movies and cartoons where it's like the kids wearing the underwear it's like all one piece but there's like a flap I just prefer when my woman has it what do women do when they're wet because they they're like outfits for like that for women where it's all one thing like that easy access they just like get naked in the bathroom stall yeah I don't think that flaps there's some female ones of flaps I'd know I think they have a different I'm gonna take some on the Ferris wheel with one of those things Nintendo Prime after hours all right you take someone on the Ferris wheel they sit on your lap it's got plenty of useless that's all I'm talking about like the way you think hey we're not keeping it clean oh my god they cleaned it anyone looks down they don't see anything you're just wearing a onesie you're good exactly I don't know what's going on it's totally clean I'm just I'm just bouncing it because I'm saying that don't worry about it what would you like for a Christmas yeah and you know what other things like the pajama bottoms what about those like little kids that would wear like the hats with the propeller those were never a thing I never wore one of those when I was a little kid with like a overly sized lollipop I think this is even before I'm like from the 40s and 50s yeah those are kids one around like that no way yeah there's a picture of my grandpa and one yeah it was a big thing it was a thing imagine like but that you believe you keep the hat on that originated in the circus started in the circus like in the 40s 50s when the circus was a big thing they used to sell their propellers and so that's when they started you know interesting thank you I learned a lot tonight I mean look that we used to literally put rocks in a box and sell them as pets so you worry and you're worried about a propeller hat not being a thing rocks that you could pick up outside of your house off the ground and we're selling number 1599 they were they were branded and packaged as pet rock I'm sorry they tend to be a little smoother they probably put them through a rock tumbler my bad like Nintendo whenever they write Mario on the box here we go I'm just kidding I just got too far I'm tired I think that I was tired I think I do it for the time podcast we're gonna call it a little early we didn't have a lot to talk about today anyways thank you guys so much for next week around the who knows next week could have a lot I might have more time to actually plan topics instead of just deciding and I work for the stream let's go around the room and tell everyone we got going on to where they could find you we'll start with the never give up and journey on guy mr. Mike Odyssey we got going on where can they find you so not giving up this week our journey to go on well you find me and Mike Odyssey money to Friday I'm I'm I still do news but I'm doing it

I didn't lose my job completely I lost my hours I'm working four hours instead of working the 10 I used to work work because of that it's ability so income wise I'll still try I'll still try I'll still try that's what I tell my bank every day I'll still try don't worry negative at the moment it's a I'm trying I promise there will be money to positive one ass is half full okay that negative is just a line where the water is going on too now it makes sense what we're gonna see a giant lawnmower video yeah I'm just kidding no I actually I'm looking forward to a lawnmower video because I've actually considered getting one so yeah it's another robot ones but you know the right right itself and it goes back to its charger and stuff like that pretty cool yeah so that's so much yard work to do if I can just not have to worry about the mowing part yeah that's pretty cool sounds like you've been dealing with a lot of shit Nate literally dude there's been a lot going on shit and just figurative shit just a lot going on Jake Randall who is so not keeping it clean tonight I had to I had to update my headline I build myself accountable I did not keep it clean tonight but you can find me Jake Randall on YouTube Jake Randall on Twitter we won't plug the only fans tonight but not saying it doesn't exist and yeah we're doing we're doing another Halloween stream Sunday Monday and Tuesday 8 8 to 11 p.m. every night to play through House of Ashes which is made by the same people who made the quarry but I decided instead of doing it in one 12 hour sitting to break it up into three three hour streams which I think will be safer and this is a much shorter game too so we might even beat it in two nights nice that's what she said and see if you if you can if you can keep it so clean maybe I'll have you come you know if you're not streaming on Halloween maybe I can come into the I'm gonna keep it nasty on my stream I'll in podcast I'll be I'll be streaming I pop in your stream after my cuz I'm finishing the game on Halloween yeah but that's gonna be a short stream because I think we're just gonna have a little bit left if we have any yeah and then I'm already gonna be in front of the camera costume it's it's gonna be wild there's gonna be some wild stuff on that oh yeah I could bring my costume too I'm going as Ken from Barbie but I'm here's the thing about me is I'm really white so I'm like hmm not that tan I'm pretty white so I'm vampire Ken with vampire fangs and blood I mean you could you could just wipe on the fake tan just wash it off or just be vampire Ken I don't I don't know I don't know how that all that works yeah I'm just gonna be vampire Ken I kind of like it I'm putting lotion on this is how it works yeah but then is it like gonna like how long is it gonna stay there it's gonna like close it's like a week yeah look look you have to stand naked you know what I'll try it on just my privates to see what happens and then if everything's okay I'll do the rest I know you might think hey wouldn't be that be the thing you're most worried about shouldn't you make sure it's safe other places before there but you know what I gamble every day just like you Nate put the lotion on the skin or else it gets your hose again it is it is lotion and it is skin so can I can I answer Daniel clinton real quick Nate sure I don't know what he said okay oh I've seen it a few times in the chat yeah but we talk about it all the time yeah yeah so what's your disability are you joking no I was serious I have cystic fibrosis uh which I won't get it in the whole thing right now but you can google it cystic fibrosis uh there was a movie that was added to Netflix called five feet apart for the characters have that but I mean I spent like half my 20s in a hospital bed I was in the hospital for four weeks at a time I would get to go home start feeling bad after a week and by the time four weeks had gone out I'd be back in the hospital yeah I have a feeding tube like installed in my stomach I have to get 3 000 calories to my feeding tube at night I eat 2 000 during the day so that's 5 000 I still can't gain weight I have a port install in my chest because I've had so many IVs for antibiotics that my veins are useless now so I had to literally have it directly I'm basically be taft we talked about me doing some shots of tequila through the feeding tube on the podcast sometimes yeah by the way now I'm staying out of the result of that one yeah well so that's that's it that's it in a nutshell that's don't do that but I'm a new drug came out a few years ago that it's hard to explain the science but basically almost corrected my DNA mutation like at the DNA level and it's just made things a lot easier give me a lot more energy back um so it's it's really impacting my life in a positive way I'm in a really good place right now so I'm good yeah yeah man yeah so Eric you got to follow that up working everyone's day pretty much pretty much occasionally some other stuff probably haven't come on for the game awards if I can get them that's right if I can get them for that because we'll be streaming early on that so he'll probably be a bit like his work with um try to try to get him in on that probably yeah figure out one that he usually comes in we usually have a battian special and it's just nice to have someone else because sometimes the awards are a bit rough to get through alone and again I've just been reminded I'm talking too much so I will shut up that's the opposite no no no he talks way too much yeah Eric where Eric talk is like hearing Barry man a little talk yeah the same vein I want to apologize for being so quiet today you guys I wish I contributed a little more that's okay that's what you're gonna do better this is more ASMR uh there's two very contradicting things happening what you gotta get deep um I don't need a deeper I'm in my voice is deep already oh yeah I don't want to know what his mouth was just going towards the moment I'm just restart what you're going on where can they find you well it was great thanks for watching the podcast we'll see you next week what are those way really things in the back in the back he's trying to get us to sign out what are you doing like one of those way really things I'm sorry I can't
