 Welcome back to the Nintendo Prime podcast season two episode 42 We got a jam pack show today a full pack of six here or is it supposed to be a full six pack? I have no idea. Whatever we used to call it Yeah, something like I don't know. I should go grab a six pack quick. I might need it All right, we got a bunch of stuff to talk about today We're gonna start our podcast the way we do every single time go around the room introduce ourselves and say what have we been playing? Lately I'll kick her over to Eric since he's right next to me. What have you been playing lately bud? You might be muted. I might I am muted. Cool. Nice. Thank you. Thank you I don't think I actually touched anything this week. Unfortunately. I just was not feeling good the last week or so So it was yeah, just sleeping mostly sleep. Hey, you did bring me an Xbox. I did so now now I've got two Xbox one This is like I can't handle this much power, right? Could have a party. Yeah, I hate the PS5 the two Xboxes and the switch went into a room anyways We've got review horse USA is here with us first time ever How's it going bud? What's up gentlemen? How are you? I actually forgot I almost like what the hell have I played recently? I was I just beat Dead Island 2 like a week. It is a really good game I would not sleep on it. I know there's a lot of games that came out in 2023, but it is good That's good. Yes. Yes. Yes Uh, next up we have Andres restart. How's it going buddy? What are you been playing lately? I'm pretty good. Um, what have I played lately? Well, um, I am confirming that I'm a fake gamer All I've played this last week is a pokemon showdown on google chrome and Yu-Gi-Oh master duel That is it. Also, they say that to me all the time. Don't feel bad. Yeah. Oh, well, okay So master duel I could play on on my computer, but I actually have been playing it on my switch but But sometimes I'm playing Yu-Gi-Oh nexus, which is kind of like Pokemon showdown. It's a simulator on google chrome Uh, however, I will be playing mario wonder Probably tonight actually Yeah Hey, you're not about where you play. It's just that you play Yeah, it's about having fun. Like I like this walled garden that some people like oh, if you don't play a uh From software game for 300 hours a week or not a real gamer. Yes, stop hot take From software games are really good There's some might like out of outside of nintendo from software games and capcom Like those are like my favorite like go to like developers outside nintendo, but I don't really Yes from software games. I like them because they're challenging. I like challenging games But I don't really think they're like the toughest games out there and I think some people kind of Think that if you can play a from software game, you're like a hardcore gamer Like I think like from software games are the toughest games to the casual gamer crowd Yeah, they're like they're the main stream of the ultra hard games You know what I mean, you consider I'm just I didn't mean to cut you off. I'm sorry What would you consider? Something that would be tougher than I'm just curious. I'm not asking. Oh, yeah. Um, I'm not saying it's a long list Uh, but f0gx I It actually is hard the the latest parts of it are pretty hard. That's the game Yeah, like you you might be able to do normal mode But like there's a game there's a hard and there's a very hard You'll never unlock the extracts unless you find the ax arcade cabinet That was produced by seiko, isn't it? Yeah, I think they developed it, right? Yeah, they developed it nintendo published it. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Yeah They've always been going to make them fast games. Yeah, but f0gx like that's That's a hard game. It's unfairly hard Yeah, you might say say dark souls of racing games Here we go Context last week I made a video saying that mario wonders the dark souls of 2d mario games Remember when I haven't played yet remember when every first person shooter was a doom clone Didn't matter what it was like. There was a time that every shooter was a doom clone Then it was all halo now called cod and now fortnight and now it's just Everything is just copying each other. It is what it is. Yeah By the way, just to clarify I don't actually think mario wonder is going to be really hard I think it's going to be kind of like about other like about the same level Like there's there's there's a challenge if you look forward towards the end But it was more so about the online elements that are similar to a lot of souls born games I heard one of the final stages and isn't there like 6,000 games coming out this week. I know they're Lords of the fall in which actually looks kind of up my alley. Then there's spider man. That's really really hard Is it I heard it's not as hard as other souls games and that's pissing people off Oh, really my friend who's like a die hard souls game person got a review copy And he said like the bosses in that game has kicked his ass like even the first boss more than elder ring did Oh, now my butthole's puckering Well, there we go. That is uh, that gave a clean Yeah, I'm I'm still trying to play lies of pee right now. So Yeah, and that's good. I just have it at time. Yeah So rgt buddy, welcome to the show first time on the podcast What have you been playing lately? I was trying to say hawkamania What have you been well, let me tell you something brother I've been playing the new sonic superstars game jack And I think that the ratings on this game are a little too low for what it does For the 2d platformers when it comes to sonic the hedgehog, dude It's a really good game and I'm not quite sure why sitting at a 75 on metacritic I also played that steaming pile of cow dung known as conch skull island, dude And let me tell you something brother. It's not a good game jack It's something that I would recommend nobody playing not even my arch nemesis the iron chic brother That was actually a pretty solid impression holy shit Holy sugar. I'm sorry. He's big in the wrestling. This is his costume. He's got to get ready He's got a whole day coming up where he's going to talk about probably all Wait, I have a question about the sonic game actually Um, is anyone here familiar with who pete door is on youtube? Oh god. Yeah. Yeah Okay, so he just dropped a review on that sonic game. He said it was a cash grab And I respect his opinion a lot. So I'm just It's weird that some people like it so much and then he said that I haven't played it yet So I just I don't know it's a 2d sonic game. There's if you like, um Um If you like sonic cd Which is my favorite sonic game. Okay, I think people will like it because it's not just left to right like I I don't fucking understand what people can I cuss on here? Yeah. Oh go for it. Yes I don't understand what what people want from a 2d sonic game Like this is as someone who's been playing sonic game since the first game on the genesis This is exactly what I wanted it it takes the formula it freshens it up a little bit There's end game content. There's some interesting kind of fun online stuff But like it's a really well done sonic game and you're not gonna get All the chaos emeralds you're not gonna get all the hidden stuff on your first playthrough Because you get abilities as you play through the game. So the chaos emeralds are essentially These new abilities that you get So you're not going to have seven chaos emeralds in the first few levels of the game So you're encouraged to go back and go through those levels. There's a million different paths There's a million hidden things in there. It's a really like is it a is it a 10 out of 10? No, but I think it's a solid eight plus You know, um from I haven't paid attention to the reviews But like why is it that um sonic mania has reviewed higher than this game? Nostalgia and just and price It's 60 bucks, right? Yeah, it's a full it's a full price game with sonic mania 20 digitally It was 30. I want to say 30. How many hours is it? um I've well Okay, so when you beat the game you actually unlock another character that has their own story So you go through and play it again. I have not finished that part You know, it's not super long if you don't get stuck on a boss but some people don't like the boss battles the only boss battle where I was kind of like This is kind of annoying is the last boss battle just because it's a bit more challenging than the other ones At least for me it was um figuring out the patterns and stuff like that You could get through it in like probably four or five hours if you're just rushing through it You don't care about the chaos emeralds or you know looking through the levels and stuff like that But then you still have that end game content if you have One of his sticking points to he said he beat it in four hours, but I'm sure that's just the base content But yeah, maybe it's highly replayable. Like that's fine. Exactly. There's there's there's you can beat Metroid Dreadin Like three or four hours. It doesn't mean it's it's a bad game. I'll play it again. That game fits to me I'd rather have a four hour one or two It's all quality content that I can that I have so much fun with I'm willing to go back to it Right, and you know And plus if you have bloated if you have people to play it with locally There's modes for local multiplayer and then there's modes for online stuff Which is like it's only eight people, but it's it's a lot like a battle royale style thing we're like One of the levels you're shooting at each other trying to And another level you're getting getting more stars than the other people in the level Another level was just like avoid these incoming bombs so you don't die Like I think it has a good amount of content for a 2d platformer I think that's the problem is is that we're so god damn used them putting so Much filler in these games to make the price justified That when a game actually just cuts out all the fat And just makes a game that's good and have it to be the length it should be and not longer Everyone's like. Oh my god. There isn't 6,000 useless things to do. This was a waste of my money Was it really though? Were you going to do all those 6,000 things? You know what I mean? Here my my thing is like listen make it if you want to make a game like that Make it good make it like Baldur's Gate 3 But if you're not going to go all out like that Make it as short as it needs to be without Becoming a chore to the player To do association with furief Yeah, but you don't have to be a furry to enjoy. I'm gonna probably play the sonic game and buy it sexy coco I love how I argue with him like he's actually a real person I mean realistically if you wait, hey, he's a doctor man three four weeks. It'll probably be 40 bucks. So That's probably what I'll do But if you're a sonic fan like yeah, that's definitely a really fun game I will Probably And I shouldn't probably don't want to buy the new sonic game yet sonic mania is 10 dollars on the switchy shop It's on sale. So That's a good deal if you haven't played it. That's a yeah You know what the game was good and people kind of slept on and hated out the new double dragon I liked it beat him that was good. I heard good things about it. I didn't play that either I heard mixed things about it. So I went into it and I was like, hey, I was like, oh, this is kind of Growing on me. I like it Yeah Maybe I mean And brian see that brought up just a quick point to that maybe the score was a little bit hurt because Reviewers are playing mario wonder. Maybe at the same time Who knows Sonic games get weird weird reviews like if you look at them, they're always Like mid 70s or mid 80s and that's it and it's all over the place And when I see people talk about all of them, I mean we had to have them with frontiers as well It's so like all over the place the way people think about Dude, I don't even know if the sonic fans know what they want sonic to be They kind of like you just took the words out of my mouth I don't think I mean, I'll be honest the only reason I'm not I haven't bought sonic super stars. It's 60 dollars Yeah, I'm not saying I won't eventually buy it, right? I just you know limited time limited income, right? I'm gonna buy mario wonder this week But if Sonic if this game is discounted a couple months down the road I probably will buy this because I'm a sonic fan and this is kind of like for me like when I saw I was like, oh, this is like the ideal sonic game. So I'm actually very ready for this. Um, I will say Um, I don't even personally think like a 75 is a bad score because that's metacritic, right? So like you have the outliers. So I always feel like, you know, like if you look at the metacritic score If it's a 75 that's accounting for people who are just pissing on the game and kind of like dragging the score down a little bit So to me that you know, you round that up It's it's an 8 out of 10 kind of game, which I think is is fair for like just What's the critic score average at the critic score average on it? Metacritic 75 70 right now. I've looked at google this 75 Human nature. I've kind of noticed the consumer. I kind of noticed like once it's below eight their brain walks out the door It's like not it's you know, so it sucks because there's a lot of good games Seven out of ten game is still an enjoyable game. Yeah, it's a good game Seven out of ten games. It's because scoring Oh go ahead. Sorry No, no, no, it's just you know, I there especially if it's like A franchise that you're a fan of or just you know, you just like Whatever it's based on you could still get a ton of enjoyment out of six out of ten game Sure, you know, if it's if it's the right niche if it's the right genre for you I always say it's it's it's like me basing what movies I enjoy off rotten tomatoes Um, which are paid reviews. Yeah, you have no done busted for that For me the metacritic reviews are really good for just setting my expectations But like if I want to play a sonic game and I see this is rated 75 out of 100 I'm going to expect like, you know, seven eight out of ten game And then I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. Yeah As opposed to expecting, you know, I'm expecting a lot from mario wonder Here here is the problem. I've noticed whether it's because I also really am into like audio tech and stuff like that too Whether it's a game review or audio tech review, not going to name any names, but there's a Cassette deck that's it's called we are rewind and everyone was complaining about something with it I won't even go into specifics, but They didn't look into the feature and it automatically does what they were complaining about So there was literally dozens upon dozens of reviews putting out misinformation about it And that's one of the things I've noticed with reviews too is that A lot of times they may rate a game poorly because they miss something or they miss the point You know Expected to be something it never and it's irresponsible to be honest with you Yeah Happens a lot Uh, Jake, what are you people playing lately bud? Um for those that were here last week. I told you guys I was playing replaying pokemon heart gold And uh, I've still just been playing that and I meant to play miles moralis because I've never played it yet And I I need to catch up What you haven't played my overallis yet. What no I figure I could do that in a day. I know it's not that long It's like 15 hours. Maybe yeah a little less depends. I heard it was like way less than that Well, yeah, if you power through it, I I took my time, but I heard it takes like six hours See you're someone you're someone who is playing the platinum like spider-man 2 and like 25 30 hours or whatever so Yeah, that's true You're a little bit more hardcore playing it. I heard the second one takes longer than the platinum than the first one But yeah, anyways, yeah, I've just been stuck on pokemon um And I've been so busy. I haven't like really gotten to a place where I feel like all right I can sit down and play miles moralis. So I gotta do that this weekend I'm just so exciting and biting my nails in anticipation for the playstation 5 slim So I could buy a vertical stand for it. That was included with the original versions of the console Yeah, you know what I realized about that that no one talked about that I realized after the fact is I don't know who would actually want to do this. It's going to be very few people But if you bought the disc and then say, oh, I'm not using my discs I want to take out the drive and Just for aesthetics make it a slim It doesn't come with the other plate to make it into a slim Nope So you'd have to buy a new set of plates to go from disc to digital too What you're also like minimum Again, that's going to affect like 0.1 of people but still it's just another thing And the million dollar question like I was saying in a couple of my videos Why does the slim exist now when it's only $50 cheaper? And if you have to buy the drive separately, it actually makes it more expensive than just buying the playstation 5 slim with the drive to begin with What were they thinking? Well, it'll probably come down to availability. The only thing I like about this Is I wish they would have done it starting with the ps2 Is the fact that if your disk drive ever breaks You can replace it. It's not swappable. That's swappable. Yeah, that's something that all companies have done long ago I think And you know what I used to complain about this but hindsight being 2020. I was wrong. You know what microsoft I I actually miss external power supplies because if the power supply breaks when it's external You just have to go replace it with the new one now if it breaks You have to actually take apart the console and repair. I hope I didn't break anything else. Yeah, that is true too Yeah All right, uh as for myself, uh, I played A little bit of tears of the kingdom. I downloaded Liza p That's why I brought it up earlier But I haven't actually started it because I know When I first played I'm gonna I want a good five six hour play session with that one And I got to find my slot to get that in but I heard so many good things about it. So I got a I really want to get that in And then that's that's pretty much been it for the last week. I didn't I didn't play a whole lot. I Didn't I almost I almost got sonic superstars and then I realized I already am getting wonder and spider-man too. We got a we got to slow down a bit I don't need to drop like 200 plus dollars and in a week. It's out of control It's a good problem though. I'll pick it up holidays. And this is what I figured As as as our uh Sean brought up earlier. Hey, it's gonna be You know what like half off in a month or something so probably 40 bucks. Yeah, so like When there's a time when I don't have as much to play like hey It's probably gonna end up being cheaper for me to grab it then and and it's something I'll probably Get done in a day or two and that's that's totally cool. Like I'm really good with that um Anyways, so we can get into uh our first topic of the day We got a couple topics and then are just for people who are here our final thing Our final topic is actually just like a q&a section for the audience If you can get your questions in anytime you want if you have questions You just super chat two dollars or more it banks it up on our back end And then I can just feature it uh during that and we can Questions can be for anyone it can be for one person all of us. It doesn't really matter Whatever topics you guys bring up. Um, but our first topic. We're just talking about Mario wonder a little bit. Obviously. It's not out yet So there isn't you know Like we deep dive on our deep seated opinions on the game and all of that But there are aspects of things like it's a 93 right now on metacritic, which is pretty crazy I don't know that I expected it to be this high because we haven't had a side scrolling mario game hit that high in over 30 years Which is pretty nuts. Yeah What was it super mario world was the last one? Yes That's my mind. That's my favorite 2d mario game and that game came out before I was born I'm old It came out right before I was born in america. You just made me feel what year did it come out was it 94 It came out in 1990 in japan, but 91 in america. I got a christmas. Oh man. I was I was born in 91 I had a mullet. We're in the same birth year I literally had a mullet and I was playing Dude, that was such a great. Yeah, that was when you got packing games I mean they come later on with bundles as the console gets older But that was when it launched. They came with the game. That's og Long time ago when they did that Yeah, yeah man So for mario wonder like I am uh I didn't know that it was going to do this I thought the highest we've had in the last 30 years was actually new super mario brothers on ds. I think it hit 89 um Because one thing I never really considered about this game and it is That people are we're saying even in the previews and out of the reviews are out It's sort of spun around is that it could be you know a game of the year type level contender Um, and I don't know and we depending on the year depends on and it also depends on whose awards are we talking about You know like the jeff kealy awards are not the only game of the year awards out there. Um So It's just it's just like what do you guys say the It's hard to say like do we think it deserves it because obviously You know, we got we have actually played the damn thing and I don't know if anyone else anyone here has review copies Nintendo's told me we'll give it to you on friday. Okay cool Thanks That's why yeah, they're not they don't send me should That's crazy. You're like the biggest nintendo youtuber. What the heck no, he's not a nintendo. That's a problem. He's not a nintendo youtube Oh, maybe that is the problem emulation youtuber. I have it. I have it's exactly why they don't give No, he's the new king of playstation youtubers. That's sure Hey, but did you put in a request or did they just send it to you with you without asking? I literally asked like two days ago. It wasn't even thinking about it Damn it. I should have asked and then I was just like, hey, can I get this and they're like you have a sunday one friday cool I sense a gear on me a moto nudes and he said no He wasn't down. Yeah, ask me to say no, that's whatever. I don't really care. Um, but it's cool. Uh, so I just For me, I don't have a lot to say about the review score stuff other than I am surprised. It's a 93 and I What it has done is taken what I just like my expectations for it were more similar to like sonic Super stars were like, this is just going to be a fun to play side scrolling mario And it looks inventive. It's got some voice hatching some crazy stuff The game's gimmick and now when I see 93 Going into it. It has altered my expectation to be like, okay I now I haven't expected a side scrolling game to give me Super mario world vibes since I was a kid So now I'm sort of going into this being like, dude, this this better be one of the best things I played since I was a kid for mario So I don't have to change any of your guys's thoughts going in or you just like screw it. It's mario. I love it or I don't I'm just going to enjoy it and not give a crap about the scores Yeah For me personally, I I wasn't super excited for it But like I was looking forward to it. I'm like, all right, you know, 2d mario's always solid I'm gonna buy it. I'm gonna I'm gonna beat it. I'm gonna have fun But when the when the scores started dropping And all that stuff about it being, you know A similar experience as to when mario world came out all that stuff I thought I'd get a lot more excited for it for sure Yeah, I was very surprised with the scores Yeah, I didn't I didn't think it would be a 93 and I haven't read any other reviews or anything But I'm very interested to see Like What what's so what's so different about it because like from what you know from the trailers It's a car You know kind of like jake was saying looks like a fun 2d mario game, you know, nothing really Reinventing the wheel. Um, so yeah, it's piqued my curiosity. I would say more so to To play it But now I do feel like there is a certain level of expectation To where it's like, okay. Well, this this is obviously doing something Really crazy and you know really really different and really unique in the 2d platforming genre to make it You know, and I'm not trying to say That there's a potential bias, um Well, I was actually gonna ask you that like do you have some skepticism like maybe it is hype from the movie I mean you were just being so excited There's always going to be franchise. It's not just nintendo franchises. It's it's there's pretty much every company Except for xbox every company has has their flagship titles like a god of war a god of war is always going to be a Mid to high nine, you know what I'm saying a legend of zeal the mainline games Always going to be a mid to high nine. If not above that grand theft auto Like there's always so much behind the behind those like every time it comes out. It's like it's a historically review the world game Exactly god of war ascension wasn't really But we've been getting 2d mario's for the last two decades and they've all none of them have experienced that they've all Been consistently I'd say more like mid eight Yeah, but in the 80s, but that was also Look at like okay, so like new super mario brothers you and new Mario brothers dude deluxe I think those games Are the most mediocre fucking games in the world and I think most people think that yeah, they still score 91 Yeah, like 91 or something. Yeah, I think I think the deluxe version was like an 87 or something And it's like that just seems so high for a game that Is just adequate Yeah, so You know, I I think people get excited when they review stuff like I get it and I always expect there to be You know some high scores for storied franchise titles So, you know, I I'm not trying to take away anything from the game or anything like that I'm sure the chat is Very upset with me But I'm just saying I'm I'm sort of keeping that in mind going into the game you know what I'm saying like I am I am Expect now now my level of expectation is much higher Because oh this is this is the best one since super mario world And it's like well you better bring some shit to the table then that you know I haven't seen in a 2d platforming game and I don't know Yeah, I feel the same way I'm just like looking up metacritic scores for everything right now like so I mean every mario games is always reviews well, right like Mario like For example, like sonic superstars if that was like a nintendo published title I bet it would get like a couple extra little points just because like there's like this trust in like nintendo quality versus sega quality But like looking at like mario bros you on the we you metacritic 84 on switch 80 But we look at It's it's I mean I I think it's good, but it's not it's nothing like amazing right just all right. This is Kind of like it's just it is what it is. It's very cookie cutter Um, but you know what we're looking at for mario wonder in 93 like that's that's a cut above right like we're talking about like One of the most highest rated switch games Period it's like in the top 20. I think maybe even top 15. It's very high You know when I think about it a little bit like yeah, it was 15 years from mario world to the new super mario brothers ds right, so they went 15 years without a real Mario game unless you count like gba ports and stuff People's but people count yoshi's island and they're weird. Oh, okay. Yeah I say that it's its own thing and I say it's crap too because of the crying mario I would need a zanax to try to play through that shit. Do we count mario maker? Well, that's the thing because like Starting from the ds they made them but they were exclusively for their handheld consoles Then the first time they ever focused on a 2d mario For like a home console was kind of mario maker 2 but that wasn't really the traditional mario game So this is honestly like the first one they've made For a home console and maybe that's why it has more polish. Maybe that's enough to boost the review scores up Maybe just really fun game. I don't know. Well, you have the new super mario brothers series Yeah, I was But the the original release was on ds, right? So right and then it became a series and we saw some home console versions But yeah, the initial design was right ds. Yeah I was um reading the ass developer interviews for um mario brucey I love that it was doing those again like every time they have a major like internal project They put that out and there's always a lot of like really interesting details And just kind of like reading some of the things that they about this game Like they actually talked about how they were looking at people like us kind of saying, oh now they've made mario maker How are they going to be able to make a brand new sort of 2d mario? Like I remember thinking especially with mario maker 2. Okay, they put themselves against the wall How are they going to actually make like a 2d mario game that feels worth it? But it looks like they did Like they found a way to do it but apparently some of the their own their own developers were not sure They were going to be able to come up with enough ideas But they put a team together and they Compied apparently like 2,000 different ideas and Yeah, that's the other thing how many times can you reinvent the wheel? Like There's got to be a certain point where it kind of runs dry, but you're right. I guess they found some way to Make it fresh. This becomes an existential crisis for me. Well, that's I mean the the the hope I mean that's the thing I try not to let review scores affect what I what I think about a game going in but it's always one of those Look, it hasn't reviewed this high Pretty much since I played mario world as a kid that is insane to me And so it does put this thing in my brain that I'm like, you know what this this better This better not just be the run of the mill Like I know it's got some cool features, but I've only seen a few stages. Nothing looks too crazy But I in reading the review that sounds like it can get crazy. And so I'm like, okay Well, I just I I want unexpected things to happen And that's really what I don't know if it is going to actually be there Like I understand there's things that oh mario's never done this mario's never done that. Yeah, but I sort of like as the level is going. I know that's gonna happen I think I know why this game is better than previous 2d mario games supposedly And I think it just comes down to Nintendo being in a situation now where they haven't really been in a long time where they can afford To take their time with a whole bunch of different projects and kind of sit on them and just quality control quality control quality control Because apparently mario bros wonder they went into that project without a deadline And that's not something that nintendo had really I mean, obviously nintendo Historically like what's that that famous quote from miyamoto that has been bastardized and maybe not even true that a A delayed game is eventually good, but a rush game is forever bad or something like that's always been said about nintendo Especially now with dlc and patches, but They've been in them forever Yeah Development hell for that one point is now though with nintendo's development ecosystem like they They have so many different projects that are kind of ready well ahead of time And they have games that they'll give it an extra year if they want to just to make sure It's as good as can be So I think that's why mario wonders as good as it is because nintendo wasn't in a position where they had to rush out A 2d mario game just to make sure they get 30 million in sales like throughout the generation This is the end of the switch generation They could have pumped that thing out way sooner, but they didn't they just sat on it And here we are with this game that apparently is like the best one in 30 years Well, this will let me know if nintendo's did a good job marketing this game Eric are you buying mario wonder you're a mario fan? Yeah, no, um, I don't know if we're gonna pick it up right away Oh, no, but no, they didn't do a good enough job. No, they did they did i'm gonna get it It's just I don't play enough games right now the way it is So but if it was 3d mario Not even then I I don't have the time right now and I just I much rather finish You know, here's the kingdom. That's true. I still finish that So it's it's why spend the money right this second. I hear you and I mean, maybe I could pick it up on a sale and But yeah, right It'll be 70 bucks in the deluxe version on switch two before you see this Oh 100 plus the 60 anywhere. Yeah, um To me honestly, though I don't ever look at review scores unless we are talking about them on here on the podcast And so honestly, I'm more surprised that mario more marios aren't above 90 Then then this one being at no or above 90. Well, 3d ones Yeah, the 3d ones always seem to be above 90. Yeah, but I don't know it just to me it would figure mario being who mario is would you know Review better than you know That bias being mario bias. So I'm actually kind of more surprised than Then that it is that more aren't a 90 than I am that this one is 90 per se Because just because I don't look at review scores ever Yeah Yeah, here you go I don't even know what else I had for notes on this one um I guess Got any thoughts on how nintendo keeps recapturing the magic with mario or do they not keep recapturing it? And it's just people hold on because of nostalgia No, I mean, I don't think it's this. I mean there is nostalgia with mario, obviously, but they're always good If it was, you know, I mean it's deserved if it was just nostalgia. They'd be in the same boat as tommy tellorico right now Yeah, exactly He tried to ride the wave of lies and nostalgia into putting money in his pocket and now he's on the run doing uh Doing uh conducting orchestras in different countries I mean if you want to look at a Yes, that relies too heavily on nostalgia over quality. I mean look at pokemon That's what happens when nostalgia is carrying it Yet people still buy them I love them. I still love scarlet violet My point being without being an asshole for a second is like Nostalgia only carries a franchise so far it Has to have substance to it. So obviously there has to it's not that i'm like a diehard mario fan I'm not but I like the games and if there wasn't any substance to them nostalgia would have dried up already In my in my opinion anyway Yeah, for me it always just varies mario game to mario game like the new super mario brother series that dried up on me pretty quick After like two of them. Yeah, that would they beat that horse to death. Yeah horses Yeah, I played it for wii you because there wasn't much else to play Hmm. Yeah, I only played it on wii you because uh my fiance wanted to play and she wanted me to play with her I'm there. It was good. I did like it But you know, there was nothing like she had a lot more fun with it than I did. I'll say that That was fine. It's just new super mario brothers. Wasn't that a launch game for the wii you? It's like, yeah That's your mario game in 720p joy yeah I mean, I guess that was as a first like hd mario game, which was kind of new should have pat in nintendo land man Nintendo land uh Anyway, I some people can I know? Yeah, I'm one of the people do like it. Yep. Um Cool. Well, we could just kind of you can still talk shit about it. That's fine Feel free to hate on the game. It's not as long as you don't hate on metroid prime I think we'll be good. I want to talk about deep luscious super sampling that's coming to the switch, too Yes, we're about we're about to get into some of that deep lusciousness. So our next topic here is uh the switch to rumor train info train Whatever you want to call it the thing that smashes in the wall every single week because there's so many people hopping on it and making bullshit up but today uh, we had somebody who you know Tends to have a pretty pretty good track record with some insider knowledge and stuff and nata hate did a little podcast today talking about a lot of the recent rumors combined with obviously giving out some new Details or I guess confirming things. We weren't sure including some of that deep luscious Dlss action Such a big deal You cannot underestimate it. It's a huge deal and I don't know I don't know if gamers that don't game on pc really truly understand How big of a deal it is the stuff that he said today So I want to I want to ask a question for in case you remember because So what from what I understand ray reconstruction, which is like the big point that you brought up today That is dlss 3.5 Like if you go to nvideos town you watch their videos and they explain it like dls2 is the is the you know The super resolution improvement dls3 is when they integrated frame generation and then 3.5 is the ray reconstruction So basically yet ray tracing um Now what i'm kind of curious on those that we've already heard about dls3.5 is this more of Nate double downing and saying that it indeed does happen before It was I think i'm talking myself into remembering what what it was before it was speculative And now it's like yeah, so it was speculative It was it was 3.5 some people didn't think it was because like oh this thing's not gonna have ray reconstruction And then even after he said it on the podcast There were people being like oh just he he's saying it has ray reconstruction Yeah, that just means that it's technically possible to do on it But it's not you know, there's not gonna be enough there to really It's not it's it's a technical possibility But not something that's gonna be useful and then he came out I think i'm fami boards and he was like no when I brought this up It's because it's developer major feature like it's it's gonna be in used That's why the I don't think it's in dock mode But it is going to be used by a lot of developers And that's a pretty big deal because if you really think about it the con like the uh Switch like pcs will call them like the steam deck and the rog ally and the 6,782 ion eos With fidelity effects not only has there been big leaps in integrated graphics hardware like now AMD cpus or apus come with our dna2 graphics, which is a huge leap from what they had before You also have fidelity effects which Give is a lot of breathing room to low power Limited hardware like mobile chips So that's a lot a lot of this like fit a weather would be deep learning super sampling or fidelity effects is allowing these handheld gaming pieces to essentially play triple a games at like medium sometimes high settings depending on the resolution So now imagine that on a piece of custom hardware from nintendo where developers can really dig right down to the metal Without having to worry about it being compatible with a billion different pc or pc types that people have Yeah, like it's a really big deal because super resolution was probably always a given That was well dls us kept coming up in all the reports and rumors because yeah, that's increasing frame rate and increasing resolution but It's it's interesting thinking about it having this ray tracing stuff because the Big deal out of that like the demo from gamescom that was that was reported on You know was talking about how hey a lot of people thought the game looked better The the matrix awakens demo looked better than it did on playstation 5 and people were like, oh You're just lying it was an in-the-moment thing and then you're hearing. Oh this has this it potentially I mean Nate was saying there's a chance that this has better ray tracing than what the playstation 5 can output And now a lot of that's because the invidia technologies are just that far ahead of what amd is doing which If that's the case it's it's it's kind of impressive at least in the moment Obviously, is it impressive when the playstation 5 pro comes out? That's a that's a different conversation, but if it comes out I want to say something I want to say something. Oh no, I'm not i'm kind of joking, but I just want to point it out Yeah, remember when we were we were kind of just like spitballing like ideas for the name for switch 2 And I mean I agree switch 2 is like it seems like the most logical choice But then tell us hasn't done that before so it's like, okay, what could we do and I came with a random one that would be switched nova Given this ray tracing focus You know, it's not going to be the focus my eyes are like no no no no no no no no no no i'm not saying focus I'm saying because of the ray tracing the improved lighting effects that could be beyond other platforms. You're doing so good tonight. Andres I'm saying all I'm saying I but that name I came up with with nova fits better than Before that's you might need a little you might need a couple two inches in his life Super I just think super nintendo switch have rgt be the mascot We're in the whole hulk and outfit and it'll fly off shelves They hate me man. They hate me Wait, rgt should put him like like on the corner like funky mode You What was the question jake? Oh, what do you think the the next switch will be called? I I think we don't know Yeah, we have no damn clue. Let's just because I don't I don't think I didn't ask you what it was going to be I said what would your best guess be? What do you think? something different As in not the switch to Just hold that. Okay. So all right. That's a good answer. So not the switch 2 though No, I don't think so just a different console. Just put it have him hand write it on the box a different console And gee they're too scared after the we to we you Well, they're here after the we came out I remember I was on a date with this girl I brought and we came went back to my place and she saw the The pad and she's like, what is that? She's like, oh, it's the we she's like, oh, is that an add-on for the we This was years After the thing came out. So they can't have that happen. Well, that's that's why I think if So my next question to you guys would be like, do you think it'll have switch in the name because If they do the only thing that would make sense is the switch 2 because anything else Super Nintendo switch switch nova or whatever just sounds like another version of the switch for the casual consumer So they either got to call it switch 2 or a brand new name But then they lose all that marketing value of the switch name, right They're probably having like, I'm sorry. Aren't you too good? No, you're good. You're good I'm sure they're probably having like 13 hour board meetings where a bunch of angry asian men are throwing papers at each other Trying to figure out a name as we speak I'm just saying because it's tough think about how we're just casually debating it and no one could be like That's a good idea. I figured it out already Oh, I think they know what this blow That's what I'm not necessarily they get a hard they could probably say this ship, but they may not know the name if the reports of uh from early from like, uh, nickay and dgi money about it going into mass production In november are true and I think they have to know because they'd be printing it onto the the stuff they're making so That's a good point We don't know if they're they started making them already yet though because I don't Think on pc hardware Yeah, those are just That's like ideal tech demos right based on That was a target spec demo situation. Yeah Wait, rgp. What were you saying earlier though about the name? I don't remember He was he was too busy going hulkamania. I know because I had said something I don't remember brother They have to call it something completely different than the switch if they're not going to call it right no No, no, I was just agreeing with you. Oh, it has it has to be switched to or something completely different I don't think it's gonna be switch onyx or switch Nova or yeah Yeah, I mean, I don't know what it's gonna be I wouldn't want to be nintendo in this position because I have I don't and no no I don't think anybody is they're probably a little sitting there like what the hell do we call this thing? So will you sell as many as possible? What's sad is the answer is very simple. Just call it switch to everyone's gonna get it Yeah, you may use numbers like every technology in the world. So everyone knows when they see a two It means the next thing. Yeah I'm too dumb to think about better things to switch to but I I do feel like nintendo could surprise us and come up with something better They could Like nintendo's been pretty bad with better with see It'll be nintendo switch too, but it'll be to Miyamoto with the thumbs up smiling That's just like the Wii U when they said it's a Wii for you. I'm like, oh my god. No, that's not the mark Did they say that was that part of the marketing? Yes Yeah, right. She came out on stage and said his body makes it sound like just a week Yeah, it's a Wii for you. I'm like, what what are you doing? This is horrible. Anyways Sony got it right. They were just like, what are we naming the next playstation? They were just like two Oh, yeah, it's a good idea And they could just playstation 20 if if there's no consoles there won't be but you know what I mean Like it's just simple Also, I feel like all the good names for like a a switch that's not switched to are already taken as youtuber names True So so many what's interesting about sony I might be good with that You would be all that'd be great for you But what's interesting about sony is that sony fans are never going to debate what the next playstation is going to be called Or if they do this because they're done unless it's a handheld Do they're done? Yeah, but like with Nintendo like Yeah, that if they may screw up the name, but at least us like youtubers are always going to like kind of debate it Right, like at least there's always this speculation of what they're going to do But we have a reason to speculate because we have no idea what the hell. Nintendo is going to name anything Everything is so different and it's weird because if you get the naming right like for example I actually think the xbox 360 that's a good name And it actually is catchier than if they called it the xbox too But then they went into calling the xbox after that the xbox one The right one's like you're talking about the first xbox. No, I'm talking about the one The hell are you talking about like it? You know, so if you get it right you could really get it right if you don't just do a number But if you get it wrong, oh you get it real wrong, you know, yeah So remember when the xbox one x was selling like hotcakes when they announced the series Right for me for a loop So many people bought the wrong thing the 360 actually made sense because they didn't want to call it the two when there's a Playstation 3 out because it you know, so Maming the 360 let them keep that three next to Playstation to show that that was like That was really smart, but that was like the only smart thing they did I I think they can call it. They're going to pull a page out of the brewers and uh The restaurant that uh was in uh american family field They had one point in time named it restaurant to be named later So they're going to call this the council to be named later Could you just go with that? It's just like the name is tba. Actually that would be trying to catch you tba One thing that will help a lot with the name is like If they if they have just an absolute Incredible launch title like they can't do zelda now. They kind of use that up But if they do have like a 3d mario that is not backwards compatible That's a a new switch exclusive Then a lot less people will care about the name. They'll just be like, oh my god. I gotta play this 3d mario game Oh, I need a new system to play it. Oh, okay. You know what I mean Launch with like a mario game It also launched with like a mature game like even if because it'll probably have the horsepower better have the horsepower to like even if they like remade elden ring for the switch, you know, like have Have the mario game or have a new zelda or whatever and then have a game like elden ring or something like it It would be like wow you have even if it's just two damn games You have these two different flavors And it'll appeal to different people on a new more powerful piece of hardware monster hunters rumored I mean, it's gonna be that's a big one cross platform But if it's like a day-in-date title for switch to like that's a big deal There's also prime four which won't be rated mature, but you know people think that They may line up in terms of release timing You know what I hope they call it The switch quantum No I swear No, I can't handle that Sorry, I've been trying to hold my audience might not know the quantum tv saga, but we don't Nintendo quantum tv they're saying it Of course I'm on a live stream once and we watched a couple of your videos on it. I like they're gonna have a special edition called the thoroughly tickled edition I'll stop there because if we go down to the quantum, I would buy that. That's that's an amazing I like that Oh I have a I have actually a And I wore it once to the mall by accident doing it's like a AI picture, right? Yes, I just got it. Imagine I had a real picture of quantum He would have like 20 lawyers at my door But uh, it was an AI picture. I just and that just came out like everyone I was like this looks like quantum And jay my editor was like, yeah, it does so we just keep using it and he probably gets this off But there's nothing you could do It's an AI picture You know, no, nintendo see this would guarantee infinite popularity by all the big name companies like google If the nintendo whatever they call this thing just automatically doxes you because that's apparently allowed and promoted Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, let's uh sniper wolf, of course. Oh sniper wolf I'm just let's see Have you two make a really bad joke about it because it's it's not funny Was I I look I did a double take on that I was like, no, I thought it was someone either like they hacked youtube's account Or it was like someone who did a really good job pretending like, you know, like sometimes there's a fake twitter account But yeah, yeah, even if you know a nice troll really good troll. Yeah, and I went to go I'm like, no, this is the real youtube account And it was weird because they had the context like sometimes if like people put up like even if like this actually means this For the sure community It has it for that But if you notice though if you go to that tweet from youtube like it only stays there for a second and goes away So it's like someone was like, yeah, get rid of that community, you know, please I could be wrong and it could just be a bug from elon musk's magical social media machine, but I just noticed the community notes on that seemed to disappear Yeah, that doesn't really surprise me. Oh, it looks like the holster dipped out. It's all right You came back and he urinated and came back a completely different man. I had to take it off to pay You might want to figure that out, man Oh, yeah, brother. I went to urinate. I almost pistol over my costume. Oh, yeah, that's never mind. That's uh, macho man Yeah, I probably do need to You're not gonna have to Snip snip a little just make sure Cut a hole in front and just wear boxes. Yeah, that's fine. It's my Yeah, you could just cut and just keep like velcro or something. You just Look what mattered to me if I was if I was in a Halloween party and that thing You can have a hole or not. I'm if I'm drinking it's I'm probably pissing on it either way Sit there and piss yourself Dude, I wouldn't think I am I'd just go to the bathroom to be all cool I don't even I probably wouldn't even know my favorite thing Halloween is anytime I see someone try to take a drink and they're wearing a mask Oh, okay. Look, I tried taking a shot once with a mask on and got it everywhere. I don't even want to amazing So Lisa wasn't one of those on fire shots and then just lights a whole mask That actually might have looked kind of badass for a half second Yeah, I wanted to go back A little bit to the actual topic that I totally derailed by bringing up the name nonsense That's all right Just because I just kind of found it interesting I was curious how you guys felt about this because we know So like we know about there's problem given that we got the slim and then the leaks for the xbox It looks like we're going to have an xbox and a playstation revision next year, right? What's interesting about that is that a lot of people are kind of questioning like why it doesn't seem like it's the right time to do that But now we kind of factor what we're hearing now about switch 2 and it having this superior version of ray tracing Well, now obviously switch 2 is going to be weaker than those platforms, right? But what's being said by Nate is that at least the ray tracing aspect is going to be ahead On switch 2 So could it be that maybe microsoft and sony kind of have an idea of this And they want to put out revision so they can kind of keep keep up from the ray tracing perspective Does that make sense? Well, I from what I heard microsoft has no plans to come out with a more powerful version of the season Exactly Yeah, they're just making that in sort of cylinder trash can version of it sony is From what I've heard this is still a rumor But they they have a playstation pro in the works But it may not come out still because they're not I guess they're putting feelers in the market so I don't know You get your market feelers saying on this I see the yeah, I mean I think that stony's made a lot of weird and kind of bad decisions with the hardware And accessories they've released this gen. I think they they want vr2 to happen so bad um and Really no one cares, but they look at it like well Nintendo and microsoft aren't doing it at all So if this ever does if we just throw this shit and it does stick to the wall You know will be the biggest ones and that's why they're not giving up on that But they got kind of burned by it, right and then After announcing the handheld You know nobody's like that everyone made fun of that. So now I think they're much more cautious Especially after getting rid of Jim Ryan. They're like, all right, hold up But I do think I do think it's going to come out because I think it's just a huge waste of r&d if you Get this far and decide not to manufacture it True How much how much of a loss would they take if they Manufactured a bunch that I'm brought up in store shelves and they just sat there See the thing is a lot of people Would buy it kind of mindlessly You know, especially people that have been waiting for a ps5 Well, that's why I'm sorry. Oh, no. No. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead That's why I said in my video. It wasn't click baiting. I'm like If you're gonna If you're still on the fence about a ps5, maybe wait another six months to see what they say like at this point, you know Especially because we're just if you think about it, man cross gen games. They're still coming out. Aren't they? So a number of them. Yeah. Yeah, like just wait at this point because then if like ps5 pro is like 150 more which I know is wishful thinking I think what the actual thing that would make people not buy it and why people maybe shouldn't even wait if they Don't have one yet Is what that price is going to be because if it's going to be like over 700 dollars Maybe you don't really care that much and you do just want to base ps5 because Sure, it's games coming out within the next year that you really want to play day one day one Maybe it's a nostalgia play releases. Yeah, I think it's how cheap can they get that pro I think that's going to come down to their decision. I would just go for an amico I Mean maybe you can find a dev kit of that somewhere for for 10 bucks on ebay We're going to what actually happens though. Like there's always constant r&d So I don't know if like I mean they're they're always in thinking of something like supposedly there was a switch pro Right, but they decided not to do it. So like nintendo still did the r&d for that And they didn't come to market, right? So Maybe whatever happens if there is like a pro and they don't come to market They just take whatever they were working on with that and they just kind of use that as a building block for their actual next gen system And there's a lot of times companies put out a lot of elaborate patents just to cover their ass and the product never comes to fruition So keep that in mind as well yeah You guys expecting switch to to be pretty powerful like the ray tracing's one thing Well, like are we going to be getting like all these third party ports and everything like just data? Hope so want so that's what that's what I think really made the switch Such a breakout success is that you have the great games from nintendo because they have amazing first party ips even if they're not your company And they got Pretty decent for the first time in my opinion unless i'm missing a console since the Super nintendo Good solid third party support. I know that we had a bunch of third party support, but a lot of it was Shovelware ass there, of course, there's a lot of decent amount of exceptions But that's what made the switch really appealing is that you had good third party games and you had the first party games And it was a long time since the last time nintendo had that So i'm hoping that the next switch Will be able to handle a decent amount of third party games Even if they have to be cut down which they will be Because that's what made the switch at least to me appealing, you know so And with all these options now with like the steam deck and the rog ally that were in there when the switch launched I feel like it has to be Not nintendo is not going to go all out. We know nintendo But it has to at least be in line with From what i've been hearing it's like kind of like the rog ally in terms of capability except video is going to be making the soc right So the way I look at it is like This is just speculation, but let's pretend they use even three-year-old You know technology in the in the new switch that's still a five-year increase because they're using 2015 tech And the original switch so in three years. That was 2020 That's what ps5 and xbox series x have I mean if that if those consoles came out three years ago, that's three-year-old tech So even if the switch is doing that it's going to be such a huge Improvement and there's so much incentive for the third party companies because of the way the switch sold So many games that came out on there just blew up and Especially if they didn't come out on their platforms They just found so much life on the switch a lot of indie games and stuff So there's so much incentive for these companies who find a way Make it work. And I think the series s Is also a path where it's like, okay if we got to make our games compatible In some way for the series s even if we're not Great at porting the switch we can definitely find an answer to And it's way more lucrative to port something for the switch than the series s And if nintendo finds a way to Be able to have the same ports as like the ninth gen consoles And they they're content next gen switch has like two hours plus more battery life than like the rog ally or the steam deck It's going to be a wrap They're going to fly off shelves because that's one of the biggest shortcomings to those portable pc consoles is that You know, if you want to bump up the wattage in those and get really good frame rates at high resolutions You're it's just like the battery is like So exactly if they can make it efficient and powerful and run the same games It's like the steam deck and rog ally and give you two plus more hours of game time on the battery That they'll be unstoppable One of them with the switch like the idea that it was it's basically like a Like a stock tega x1 with just a little bit of extra ram or something So wouldn't the idea with switch to be that it's kind of had like a little bit more customization done like At first like maybe like nintendo and video. They had this idea They went forward with it and they realized. Oh, this is a winner Let's actually like put more time more research and development create science a little more customized And maybe that ends up having a little bit more bang for the buck than what we got for switch in 2017 I actually heard some murmurs and maybe rgt because I know you you talked to Nate the hate that They kind of went off the shelf with the switch because they weren't sure what the hell was going to happen with it So it was less r&d Yeah Oh, go ahead knock ahead finish. I was done Well, no, I was just gonna say because that tega x1 chip and video was using that in other products that they had at the time of other ones Yeah, so Allegedly this system Is a chip built and designed specifically for this next iteration of a console Could be something where there's a little nvidia logo on it somewhere Um, kind of like what the gamecube have on it ati or something like that Yeah, yeah Silicon graphics with n64 Right, so I could see that potentially Being a thing with this because it seems like You know, this was kind of I mean, this is kind of just me speculating But that was a way for nvidia to kind of clear out Tagras and it worked for what nintendo wanted to do so they they're like, okay This is a good partnership idea But then with the success of it, obviously, you know nvidia probably had a bit of cold feet With it because you know, they're like, well, we have all these tagras, you know, we're we're good on that If nintendo wants to buy them great, we don't really have to do shit with them Nintendo is going to be the one who, you know, puts it in their system But I think as as the system success came along, it's kind of like, oh cool. Okay. Well, wait a minute now Now you're a valuable partner now We can actually do something a bit more customized for you because the business relationship is obviously Better than it probably was initially And nvidia has a vested interest into making the switch to be successful Because that's their only stronghold in the console market everyone else is using an AMD Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah So that's why I think they'll I'm excited for the switch too because I think it's going to do what all these little gaming PCs that look like switches are doing But more efficiently, I just wish you had an OLED screen, but it's all but confirmed that it's not going to so Well, I think they released an OLED probably a year or two down the road. Yeah 100% I agree I I'm eternally the optimist and I remember there were like some job posting suggesting that tend to was hiring talent to work on HDR So, you know, I'm me being the optimist. I'm thinking. Oh, okay Well, if they're hiring people to work on high dynamic range, maybe that's not just for docked mode Maybe the screen has some level of like that as well Which wouldn't mean OLED, but maybe it's like not just like a really trash garbage lcd It's so expensive to make a screen that tiny with like a high resolution Like they don't make 4k tv TVs like under 32 inches. Well, you wouldn't even have a high res I don't think you you don't have no, I don't think I know you don't have to have high res That you could have a 720p screen and have a vh dr I rather oh, yeah, you don't have to have high res for that. I would rather have my opinion I would rather have you lost me I can hear you. Oh, yeah, we got them I would rather have lost everybody cool I'm right here everybody. I would rather swim naked in the ocean well, I would rather have a 720p not HDR OLED screen that have a 1080p HDR lcd screen, but that's again just me I think the OLED screen looks great on the switch Yeah, I said that before too like I'm so used to playing the OLED switch now that I I got another I my old switch. I never transferred it over. I um I kept it on its own online account and so I went back to like under the same old state file of some game and like I just maybe I'm getting old but like I just couldn't go back to that screen after I was so used to the OLED So I am kind of nervous about that And the thing is like 720p even for the next gen switch in handheld mode in my opinion again would be fine I know some people 1080p you're nothing But 720p that means that the new soc could just worry about giving you better lighting better textures Better environments better frame rates and you're not really going to notice a difference on a small ish screen Let if you want to if you want to play it at higher res is it'll handle it docked when it's in portable mode It'll save you battery life and you'll have a better gaming experience And you won't really notice the resolution difference. Yeah, I agree. I'll get off my soapbox now. I'm done No, I mean they're good Yeah, um, supposedly the screen's eight inches though. That's what she said Hey Yeah, I mean, well, what's the size of a rock ally screen? Uh That's a good point. Why I have no idea. That's bigger than a steam deck screen You know what I will say on that though It's nice. So playing if you can get games to run at 120 fps and as 120 hertz screen If you're like playing doom eternal at 100 ish frames per second on the the rog ally is nice That's only seven inches. So kind of another inch. The rock ally is seven. Yeah, the OLED is also Um for the switch is also seven inches. So that would be interesting if it actually is eight inches It would be noticeable. That's what she said. I'm more of the size of I'm more of the size of a Game Boy micro, but let's continue Yeah It's a nice screen. It's a very vibrant little screen. I mean the thing about screens is you hear lcd And you automatically think about your your standard nintendo switch screen. There's a million LCD screens Yeah, that you know, it's kind of like a television, you know, there's I bought a 4k television Okay, but there's levels to the 4k itself is so i'm not super worried about the lcd screen But it would be disappointing if it's a crusty lcd screen. That's just like not very good I will be that's just I will be satisfied if it's a significant jump or a Yeah moderate jump in performance and if it's a solid clean 720p Or it would be nice since they're going back to lcd or IPS Which is a lcd 1080p Like just a clean solid 1080p screen don't make it make it look clean make the colors kind of pop It doesn't have to be hdr and i'll be happy, but if it's yeah, don't make it a turd like the base Switch screen that screen is ass Yeah, well one thing that like all these things do the steam deck rock ally or whatever It's pretty convoluted, but you you mess with the settings, right? You got the right settings. So nintendo with their user interface Could have options for that in handheld mode you want more battery life or do you want to turn hdr on not To the extreme of like those other handhelds not convoluted or over complicated But just like a few options In the settings that you can turn on or off You know what I mean jake, how dare you have so many good points tonight What's that how dare you have so many good points tonight? Oh, yeah, but thank you No, but it's true though because As a person who's gotten so frustrated with the rog ally even though I like it that I almost sold it If nintendo kind of just like takes notes and ticks the right boxes from the things that like the steam deck did right And the rog ally did right and avoids the things they did wrong Like well actually the steam deck is pretty easy to use but the rog ally With intuitiveness is mixed if they just get that right where they could give you options But it's just like checking a box and that'll turn the feature on that'll be a huge win for nintendo Don't make it convoluted and it'll be good I wonder how how that would work for like the main stream like how many like Azure players will take advantage of a feature like that like a checker A some some some sort of streamlined checkerboard option on we already do it for every ps5 game that comes out We we choose whether we want performance or quality mode if it's that simple and it's it's fine I mean if it's just like those two options performance versus like quality and yeah, that's pretty simple. Yeah That's what they would do. It's like, you know, what do you want from your games and I'm sure that's how nintendo would handle it too, you know, and there's there's some games that on the consoles now that have like not to bring one up that sucked but uh Oh my god the volition if you can't think of the saints row 2022 they give you like 60 different options Right. Yeah. Yeah, and there's other games that work crap that do that too It's like do you want fidel? Do you want ray tracing with performance? Do you want ray tracing with better visuals? Do you want the highest resolution possible? It's like Just give me a couple fucking options. Exactly. Especially for like the casual crowd Yeah, and i'm a pc gamer It's like why am I on a console like are you gonna make me choose my anti aliasing too like what are you doing? Actually I remember like when the steam deck came out because you had talked about wanting like the batman games on switch for a long time And people were like, oh like go play in there and like that was your thing with it You were just frustrated. You didn't want to mess with all the settings. I think if I remember right Yeah, kind of I mean I've kind of it's funny. I actually Hardly ever used my steam deck, but I use my wrong ally all the time Because I love emulation on it I've been downloading and playing so many ps3 games On my on my wrong ally, and it's just Magnifique So I do switch Depends on the depends yeah Like because um, I did sonic and they sent me a steam code and I was like cool I'll play a little on my computer. I'll capture the footage on my computer But I'll play it on my steam deck and like that's where I played Most of my Sonic superstars was on the steam deck. So, you know, it just kind of depends Um on what I'm kind of up to what I'm having to play for sure work um But yeah, I've kind of come around a bit on that that the problem is is that There's like a bunch of incompatible stuff what He's everyone's just fallen out. He just froze at the pur he was about to say something interesting too I know I'll come on. I was so I was so engrossed in that and now whole colgan's frozen Unlock this this uh the rest of his statement with a micro transaction in the chat That's how it works. Yeah, that's how you have to pay Listen, we hired john ricotello. You have to pay for each bullet. You got to pay for You have to pay for rgt to be not frozen anymore Damn, I now I kind of want to you you have the rog ally, right rich. Yes, okay um Now I kind of want to get one of those because Have you tried ps3 emulation on either the steam deck or the wrong ally? I have tried it on a chip that is very similar to what's in the rog ally Yes, it could handle it could handle ps3 emulation pretty well. Oh, that's awesome. Okay. You gotta realize it's rd And it's they have it has 12 compute units of rd na3 in there. That's it That is decent damn decent integrated graphics. Like it's not a joke Like it's you know, we've gotten to the point where that's why I think invidious said they're getting out of like the very budget Dedicated graphics card because there's no point now. You could just have an and I'm sure in video They're doing it with nintendo. You could just have integrated graphics on an amd cpu or apu I mean to say and you're doing triple a gaming now No problem You know so Wait rg you want to you want to finish that thought we were all yeah, you had a really good Oh, yeah, my my internet cut out for some reason not The thing it was was like, oh Okay, wait a minute. You are correct now. I'm thinking about it because arkham city It it doesn't boot up automatically You have to fuck around with some settings and I had to look that up online and that really pissed me off And then there's there's a couple on the switch. No on pc we're on the steam deck Oh, yeah arkham arkham city is that's the newest one right from 2015 No, that was arkham night arkham city was the one before that. Oh, it's derp derp. Yeah, you're right. You're right And then like I downloaded some older Games off esteem that I always wanted to play like I mean obviously their older games So I maybe shouldn't have expected them To work, you know right out of the box like um jedi forces the uh the doom clone star wars game I never got to play that as a kid Um So like that was kind of disappointing but Kind of since then I've gotten so much into emulation now all that shit is kind of like second nature to millions You know, but then it's so weird with some old pc games like there's it came out during the seventh gen There was war hammer 40k space marine if you haven't played it It actually works great on the steam deck or the rog ally and you just buy that It's from like what year 2009 2010 maybe and it just works. So that's the weird thing about some old pc games is that They're either like you have to go through hell to get them to work or it's nothing Even if they're like over a decade old Right, yeah, it sounds like based on what you're saying After you use it for a while you do get used to putting in those custom settings and Quickly figuring out how to make a certain game work. I'm sure there's like message boards or something You can go do to help with that too But that is like a big barrier to entry like you are gonna have to Commit to kind of learning that over the course of at least a few weeks not a couple months right Because I had to do some weird shit to get It was something kind of easy, but it was it was something I wouldn't have thought of to get um Arkham's right. You gotta know that's the thing. Yeah And that's why that's kind of why so many people are scared of emulation Because you gotta sometimes you gotta fuck around with some settings. Um What game was I playing? Oh Last night for instance, um I was playing smackdown versus raw 2008. I downloaded that for ps3 And when I would use a vulcan GPU It would freeze every time when I get to the main menu So then I had to go in I put it to open gl and then it worked fine But like you say that kind of shit and people I I don't even really know You know the the major differences between them But you say that kind of stuff and people are like, oh, I'm not I'm not messing around with that You know this that and the other so people like convenience people like simplicity Yeah, I'll admit it I've been a I finally just recently tried ps3 emulation which I find funny I tried after I got a refurbished ps3 But I was a bum and I just didn't feel like dealing with stewing settings and I should have because ps3 emulation now is pretty easy Uh, yeah, and it's really fucking good too. Even on even on intergrated graphics. I know It's not Dude, I'm running ps3 shit on fucking $300 mini PCs like no problems like it's great. It's way better than xbox 360 emulation xbox 360 emulation Still a bit bit dodgier, but yeah, it's it's crazy how how fast it's come along and the cool thing about emulation is Um, I know it's just fucking we're supposed to be talking about nintendo That's fine. The host isn't even here. It has he broke his fucking microphone or something Having technical, you know, what's funny is that like you could remaster your own games playing them on pc Oh, you want uh red dead redemption 2 to run at 4k in 60 fps. Just Outloaded Oh, it's like fucking duck station That makes me want to play through every ps1 game again because it looks so much better And it's smoother. Yes. Yeah, you do the internal resolution upscaling to like 4k on saturn and ps2 shit It's like what the fuck this looks amazing. It's like especially, you know what system is age the best dreamcast I don't know if it's because of the color palette or the kind of chunky or polygons Will you play some upscale dreamcast shit and you're like, wow, this looks phenomenal This could be a modern release and nobody would say anything I actually want dreamcast on nso more than gamecube I I me too, but I mean dreamcast is so dreamcast It's so easy to emulate though. You can fucking run it on pretty much anything now It is some of those games were online if i'm not mistaken, right? Like that might actually work really well as like an nso platform. Yeah. Well, I mean, uh quake 3 was um On there and yet unreal tournament was on there. You could play You could play soul caliber. You could play nfl 2k 1 I don't think the original one had the online. Maybe it said I could be wrong on that mba 2k was on there as well Was there mba jam? There was not Isle and Iverson on the cover Yeah, like the dreamcast was Dreamcast was the perfect system for gamers and everyone was like I want this dvd player PlayStation 2. It's like fuck man God he ruined it free online. Dude. I remember doing all sorts of shit online with that like I didn't know what the y'all y'all you do fucking plug in your your uh Your phone cable and then boom you're good to go. I played the ass out of uh soul caliber. I love Soul caliber. I used to bot that was actually when I was good at fighters and I wasn't old and I used to body all my friends with glee I'm a nightmare guy Kaleek was seriously wounded, but his soul still burns And the thing about the dreamcast was quite possibly the best launch lineup ever Yes Like holy shit so many games came out like fucking triple a Bangor titles on day one. That's like wow What was there was sonic adventure? There was power stone. There was Power stone came out at launch right there was soul caliber What else was there? Let me see here. Yeah So here is everything that launched on 9999 soul caliber power stone Mortal combat gold sonic adventure expendable blue stinger trick style hydro thunder Tokyo extreme racer Sega flag the flag monaco grand prix pin pin trice leon I don't know what that is uh tnn hardcore beat the house of the dead two Air force delta aero wings nfl 2k f o blitz 2000 ready to rumble boxing. Yeah, I was about to say game It was it was nuts. You know what I think on for I don't even think it was just yeah 19 games on launch day That's crazy to uh, The ps5 and stuff had like what like three One if you're if you're a lucky now, obviously you had a few more I don't think it was fully that yes the dvd player definitely hurt the dreamcast not having that capability but I also think that sega I'm gonna just say but fuck their name so hard by that point. Hey The 32 x is your next gen system. Just plop this mushroom on top of your sega genesis They will actually start it with the sega cd add this on for more power And you were just playing softcore porn cd video games then get the 32 x that's not next gen Get this thing at the sega saturn The sega saturn sucks to learn all about the sega 32 x head on over to amazon.com and Type in the complete sega 32 x god. Oh, yeah. Hell yeah fine piece of literature Hey, can we get a I'm serious. I'm gonna buy it I didn't know you had that book Hey Okay on amazon put it in the chat Yeah, I brought it a couple years ago And I had I had no idea how to design a book and so I sent it to one of my friends the my old The guy I used to do Nintendo enthusiasts with uh jason lapine. I was like, yo, I'm gonna write this book He was like, that's cool. He got any designs. I was like, yeah And he was like this looks like a toddler got ahold of a crayon like what the fuck are you this looks horrible I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. So he The strangest thing he happened to have book editing software. I'm like, have you ever written a book? He was like, nah I was like He was like, but I feel like I could edit it if you want to give me the stuff and give me, you know Take the screenshot. Send me everything and that's what we did and it came out really good. And yeah I'm gonna pick up a copy that's Even though you had the book because I would have bought it Testing do you guys hear me Dude, I literally go to let my dog outside and then my roadcaster pro 2 just died. Oh, whoa. Whoa. Got jealous of a dog That's that's rude. I thought maybe you heard my horse freestyle and ran off the stream Anyway, no, no, no, no, I let my dog go and all of a sudden I see eric panicky and I'm like, what's he panicking about? I come down here my oh shit The whole thing's dead. It won't even turn on Yeah, you had to change out your mic Yeah Well, we know what broke my heart about the dreamcast is that they were developing a castlevania 4th and never came out There's like a prototype that floats around, but it's all broken But they were there was it 3d. It was going to be it was going to be 3d. So yeah, it was probably going to be shit, but Maybe not I love I love castlevania 64 And that's not a good idea. Yeah, two castlevanias did it. This was it's completely its own thing Here is the thing. I know the things that suck about it and I agree. I'm not like I won't I'm not like a fanboy of it, but As much as the game was flawed as shit. I think they were going in the right direction They just got scared off because of the reception in the sales Did you know I'm reading this from the complete sega 32x book that in the unreleased game section found on page 64 Castlevania the bloodletting castlevania was even going to make an appearance on the sega 32x with castlevania the bloodletting Designed to be a sequel to the pc engine game castlevania rondo of gulp blood this game would have featured rick or bomb belmont maria rinard and the rival little was known about this game although it was safe to presume that it would have been a traditional 2d castlevania game and not the metroidvania style All that and more That was the light on the senses This is what you're wrong about because like I'm wiping cobwebs off of my brain to remember this Didn't they end up using some of the assets that were going to be in the 32x version of the game for symphony of the night? Maybe I'm wrong. So I think you're right That kind of thing happens a lot so Maybe well, it's like they found that um castlevania dreamcast Build um like a year or so ago and that got leaked online And people were playing that wasn't that we were just talking about I think did I try that? Yeah, and I tried that it was well, of course. It's like a broken prototype so it was a third but I pray that someday the Canceled earthbound 64 which I know of amounted to mother three on gameboy advance But I pray that that n64 version of the game leaks out someday Somebody has it somewhere. Somebody has very incomplete, but I just want from software to make a castlevania game that I'll shut the fuck up about it And I don't know what will never happen, but that would be really interesting because I like I feel like I feel like castlevania would have went in that direction if they if kanami wasn't kanami Yeah, I mean I've always talked about dark souls is like I mean it's metroidvania in 3d like It's like a spiritual it's like what castlevania should have been let's keep it real and see if it was 3d It's like they're like hey, let's do what kanami was too stupid not to do Yeah, they focused way too much on I remember getting Castlevania 64 I was with my mom when we were at target and I had just gotten a good report card She was like you pick out an n64 game so i'm scanning i'm scanning i see castlevania 64 What the fuck this is gonna be awesome So I got that and dude I was so pissed off the fucking The part where you got to get the man or drink and you got to bring it From one area to another area without getting hit. I lost my fucking shit on that. Oh that's not that wage inducing I agree. I actually like the game though That was that was Horrible I couldn't believe it Like the creepy like I and everyone I loved like the music was atmosphere It wasn't like the main focus and then they had when you went into the mansion Like that really ambience that creepy like I was like the music was pretty good For when it was there and like even the intro like the intro made it seem like so epic with the little dude in the Violin Oh, yeah, that's called symphonic. Yeah, I was like, okay. Yeah, let's fucking go And even like the first intro area Wasn't bad with like the big skeleton and skeletons on bikes like I know people hate that But that that wasn't bad and then it's like, all right time for some platforming and you're like, holy Shit, you you did not take any cues from super mario 64 with this a lot of games back then did it mario 64 Was like the only game that got 3d platforming right until like five minutes ago They they really especially during that generation man most 3d platforming again in most cases was rough Yes, I wonder if that's why zelda They didn't have like an automatic jump until breath for a while because they just figured it would have been easier to do The auto jump Instead of trying to figure out I think so You know, I mean it works. I mean nobody I don't nobody ever really complains like oh you can't do it It's like nah, dude, not to the complaint that you can jump Yeah, now you have too much freedom. It's too open-ended. They want us to go back to the old That's the thing people are never fucking satisfied So, you know, you can't Because if if you're satisfied, you're not going to talk about it So obviously the unsatisfied people are always the one that's have some of the set Maybe I'm just like my mother. She's never satisfied Lord Was a shittier castlevania game then the n64 ones changed my mind lord's shadow two one was great lord's shadow two was complete s Was that was that the ps3 one or ps2 boys? It was during the seventh And I know what made me so angry is that the intro of that game is so epic and then right after the intro It's just just like here. We're gonna now give you the worst game you've ever played You know, it's funny like 90 of these um plug-and-play Emulation devices that have ps3 that game is always on there again. Sometimes that's the only ps3 game On there and it's like why why this like put fucking ridge racer seven on there It's a good looking game. It doesn't need a lot of specs But they always put lord's of shadow two on there and i'm like, what the why are you doing this? Why don't lord's of shadow one? It's actually good. I don't know. I do not know. I have so many so many Portable hard drives that like companies have sent me Yeah, I mean like this fucking one right here I guarantee you this has lord's of shadow two on it and it's just like why Yeah, it's a that one I consider worse like I said than the n64 ones I know the n64 ones are flawed as hell and I agree, but I still enjoyed them. I couldn't I'm like, no, I'm not suffering through this garbage. Sorry Yeah So I wonder if maybe We should get back on topic. Yeah, we have just we have just Where's the host the host is supposed to be the one steering the ship? Well, apparently I'm co-host so I'll guess I'll just bring it back So going back to nintendo switch two rumors one that we haven't talked about like I mean it's not I don't know if you call it a rumor. It's more like speculation based off recent events, but There was this privatized video The initial nintendo switch first look It went private a couple days ago And now people are wondering if this has anything to do with maybe an announcement of some kind given that Last year when they privatized these oh both the OLED and light trailers We got a swatoon 3 OLED announced a few days later and then the year before They privatized the light um trailer and then we got the announcement of the OLED So a lot of people are thinking well, okay Well, if they privatized the first switch trailer one has like like over 50 million views Like maybe like the most important nintendo trailer ever And they've never done that before at least to my recollections. Does that mean they're potentially about to announce something Maybe not right away or announced that means they're they're it's in the it's in the works Wait to just to clarify because I'm not sure I understand you're saying Like the announcement trailer for the original switch got yes That first trailer like where we saw like how what the switch looked like that came out october 2016 That trailer They they they privated it Well, well, they would definitely do that when they're getting ready to announce a new console because when people are searching that in youtube They don't want that one coming up Yeah Now the counter arguments would be anything but it does make sense. That is something they would do Yeah, it's something they should do I feel it's like it's because if you want to get people to not like hey, there's a new piece of hardware Then they like jake just said they'll go and look and they'll be like hey here's this trailer from 2016 But people don't check so they'll just go out and like buy a yes 300 year old console now the thing is They might just be checking that box now, you know, that doesn't necessarily mean it's right around the corner It might just be getting out of the way. So by the time they're ready to actually announce it people have already forgotten about it That's already been taken care of, you know what? I don't I don't think they're announcing this thing until after march Yeah You're like a september launch guy Yeah, it's definitely because they're not gonna They're not gonna talk about this before the end of the fiscal year Guarantee it because there's no reason to you're still selling switches. You're still selling switch software This isn't a switch. We use situation Where they announced it in october For march because nobody gave a fuck about the we you and they had no holiday sales. They had no game sales for it So it's like oh, but they still had the 3ds though switch was a fault to both Yeah, but what happened with 3ds like a year Left of games with like ever oasis and then samus returns and then like after October 2017 it was like okay if we're done with this Exactly, it's like the toy store me where he's like, I don't want to play with you anymore Yeah, like they they moved on quick from both of those things Probably quicker than I think a lot of people would have thought and i'm still salty that samus returns Is not On the nintendo switch. However If you use the citra 3ds emulator, you can play it 4k looks great And this is why nintendo hates you shiguro Miyamoto is Hang glide into your room and I cannot buy the game To support them on the 3ds e-shop because they got rid of it. What am I supposed to do? Oh, no, I agree. I agree with you. I'm just saying that shiguro Miyamoto is going to come slap your ass Well, he had someone You're Miyamoto is going to do that just for that you give me the links so I can download that I'm new later, please Jake is like I've watched shiguro here man. Here are my cheeks You know because for the gameplay, I mean You just can't share your pepperoni nips. That's pepperoni. Yeah Everybody I love I love pepperoni nips my favorite kind This thought is about the fly out of my head because I'm going to forget too Here's the other thing too They don't want to screw up the holiday sales for the switch if they make an announcement now It's kind of what rgt said, but they people would be like i'm up behind a switch. They're coming out with the switch to Deluxe whatever the hell they're going to call it in a few months So they don't it's what's up. Sorry. Oh, no, I was just gonna say the only way I see Anything happening this year would have been if there was a price drop for it because then it's kind of like Okay, whatever that right. So yeah, I they're not announcing shit this year Yeah I just don't see why they would privatize the trailer like if they were they're gonna leave a private for months Then maybe but I don't see them leaving a private for months. This usually just only happens for a few days Kind of that's a licensing issue. It's always messed up Equals to successful consoles. So maybe they are trying something a little different, you know what I mean rgt brought up a very good point Maybe there was music or something in there that there was licensing issues that they had to privatize it that happens a lot It yeah, I mean it does happen. It's interesting though because they left the trailer up on every other social media account including their other youtube channels That's even weirder. Yeah Yeah, yeah, that's why no one really I'll be right claim on it or something and I gotta You know That's probably from me the last time they took a trailer down was the switch old led one right before they announced us between three Um, and then they kept it down for a month and brought it back I don't know. Yeah, like it's all speculation because like We don't know the hell nintendo's doing Like I don't think it's being announced this year realistically, but I don't know what the hell they're doing. No, so for me like how amazing I was definitely like 90 95 percent. It's it's not happening until getting announced until march But I'll say with this well one there is a whole amiibo theory thing because there's a whole Go for it You won't have to keep it clean. It'll always be clean but I don't know I I'm not I still think it's probably not getting announced, but I I'm definitely Well entertaining it a lot more now than I was before the trailer is privatized Is that because you're kind of like you have this Just as a consumer you're kind of hoping and is that influencing you a little bit No, because I think we all would if we could choose I think we would want nintendo to do it in the way that's going to make them the most successful but You know barring that I think we would all want it to come out as soon as possible It for me, it's not like a want thing for a want thing. I would have I want it was last year I would have wanted the system to be announced, right? Like I wasn't thinking this wasn't happening But there's just like a few different things that are that are kind of coming together Nintendo could announce it this year But I agree that it's unlikely given that you know, they haven't announced the price drop You know, they have games lined up until march Like I don't think the system's coming out until at least april So I do think announcing it now seems like a stretch But when you consider that they they privatize the trailer, which I understand they could be music licensing But it wasn't last year It was for an oled announcement and the year before that it was for the oled announcement. Good point. So I just like what and given that it's already october. They're not going to announce another revision We just got the mario oled uh for this holiday So I don't think they're going to announce another oled edition in october to come out december like it's not that So either a it's a music licensing issue or there's something to this idea that they're going to announce it now We have seen companies showcase new next gen systems at the game awards like xbox So maybe they tease it in december, but again, I still think it's more likely it's coming It's not going to be announced until march But i'm entertaining it more now I I just think like they know, you know with the new super mario brothers game in the holiday season there Even if they're that's what they're doing. They're prepping for the next switch and trying to steer People searching for the switch away from the old switch trailer to not confuse people They want to Get milk the cash cow one last time from the switch and that's why it's going to be very hush hush at least for the next few months Yeah, no, I do think that could be something as simple as the last like special edition regular switch, right? or switch oled Yeah, maybe that's going to prioritize the switch oled Yeah, I guess something else to consider is that maybe it's not a revision Maybe there is an announcement coming, but it's not like it's not switch to which not a revision. It's just something else How about that? Yeah, that's how about this? Yeah, they're discontinuing the og switch Maybe that is too. We have what oh And so they don't even want the og switch like being advertised. Yeah, but it looks exactly like the the v2 so There's no visual difference unless you look at like the barcode or something, right? You know but but they okay, so when I said discontinued that is discontinuing the v2 They don't make the v1 anymore. Oh, you mean the oh, okay, so we're just $300 switch regular switch just completely would continue so don't ever okay that actually That's an interesting point. Maybe it is that so I mean to to review text a point from earlier Like maybe it is like a sign of switch to but it's not like it's it's getting announced tomorrow or next week's sign It's just yeah, they're gearing up, but this is like a a several month long process I don't know. I feel like that's a bad choice if they did that unless they cut the price of the switch oled But why would they cut the price of the switch oled before the holiday sales? You know That will be making it 300 even Maybe they are going to do that. I don't know because having the sales of the switch slowed down significantly So if you want to if you want to spruce them up Hey $50 off for the holiday season didn't Microsoft do that with the series s for a while They're in the holidays a couple years. Yeah, but I will say as someone that helps people buy consoles That even as the switch has sold that slowed down a lot over the last couple years They do pretty much sell out around the holidays Still like even last year So they really don't need the boost for that time for the rest of the year They've been needing it desperately, but they still do really really well for the holiday. So I don't know There may be a mortal combat one will help the sales of the switch over the holiday season Yeah, something that I've been thinking Because it's not just the privatizing of this trailer, right? There's the amiibo restocks There's a lot smash metroid zelda and mar is supposed to happen in a few weeks Will you explain to everyone that's not as familiar as what amiibo restocks mean? I don't remember the exact dates. So bear with me, but basically I think within a few weeks from now There's info suggesting that we're going to get a restocks for a mario miibo line A metroid amiibo line a zelda miibo line and the smash amiibo line And having four different lines coming out at the same time hasn't really happened before but typically when there's an amiibo restock of some kind It tends to line up with some sort of nintendo announcement. For example, there was an amiibo restock um that happened not too long ago and that lined up with um For for smash brothers that lined up with the timer direct and also the sora amiibo announcement So a lot of people are thinking that with all these amiibos about to come out That that must sort of hint at some sort of big nintendo announce and obviously the speculation to switch to but Even though I like for me like that's not enough, right? But there is that but then also people have noted that the um Well, there is two different. Um, there is the the mario kart bundle and there is another bundle. Um, was it, uh There's another switch bundle that was kind of announced for this holiday. Was it for animal? It wasn't a bundle. It was the animal crossing edition switch lights Okay, so that so that and the mario kart bundle those apparently were coming out sooner. Oh, I think it is a bunch of years the game Let's go switch lights Okay, so I guess it is a bundle too I'm not certain but the point is that these things are happening earlier this year than normal So this is kind of leading people to believe like why are they kind of pushing these out sooner? Why are all these amiibos happening that and this is not how they've handled prior holiday seasons? So people are thinking oh, this must mean switch too, but that's that's arguably confirmation bias That's what we want. So we're using this evidence to kind of confirm that but it could be another possibility Maybe it's just just trying to make the have the biggest bang for this final holiday season where switch is the focus I think that's it. I I think they are doing this to prep for new hardware And it's not confirmation bias at least for me It's just like all right We want the switch to again sell this holiday season But we want to wind it down without people really noticing that we're winding it down Because it'll help us prep for the next gen switch. That's what I think is really happening They don't make a major announcement But they are going to scale stuff back because they know it's time But they still want people to go out and buy switches because that makes them money Yeah, for sure For me, I know that Based on what people have said on the show tonight. It sounds like everyone's leaning towards This the next switch not coming out till like probably september or later But for me that makes me really nervous just for what I just said before That every holiday they sell out already. So if they release a new console at that time It's gonna be like the ps5 and xbox in 2020. It's gonna be a shit show. So I understand it's getting more unlikely every day But I really hope they announce it in january Just do two months and have it released march or april like I still think that's the best thing for them as a company But yeah, maybe they know that But even if it'll still be it'll still be tough to get but I don't think we're having You know that was in peak covet when uh 20 when the ninth gen consoles released Not saying there won't be issues now, but I don't think the issues would be as severe as it was when 2020 was So, yeah, it'll still be hard to get But the thing is last year was 2022 and they couldn't even make enough regular switches to keep them in stock That's what i'm saying Yeah Well, um Let's get into some of the questions some q and a stuff we got here I remember you guys want to submit your questions as little as like two bucks You just get the question through a super chat and we'll feature it up. Um, we had uh This one earlier from the jostler For five bucks saying three questions longest fart you've ever heard That's you kid. You know who to ask for that. That's intro guy. He's talking to me intro guy could let out like 30 minute farts Continue, sorry One continuous He I wish I could he I have one of my soundboard that I did not time stretch. That's like 10 seconds long. Yes That's crazy But maybe the better question is asked not the longest fart you've heard but smelled Oh Dude, there's some horrific like you know those linger that linger for like hours I don't know what it's like a fog in the air, but anyway, sorry, let's continue on the parts Yeah, that's That's metroidvania Yeah, that's what yeah I'm gonna go with castlevania symphony of the night But that's because I haven't played a lot of the other metroidvania So my obviously my opinion is colored for bias. I'm a baby so I'm gonna say metroid dred I like I think I might like hollow knight more I was hollow knight is pro. I want to play hollow knight. It's I played some of it. I was like, oh, this is good It's yeah, it's really fun I like the nice platforming in some parts of Donna sorrow is really good. Yeah. I love don't sorrow The gameboy advanced castlevania's are pretty badass and ds too. Yeah Yeah, Donna. Sorry was my first castlevania game. Yeah, it was great They like hurry of sorrow And then press they're terrible. Don't ever ask me that question again. I hate breasts Keep it keep it clean. I'm sorry I'm a breast man. I'm bad. That's probably because of me. I'm a breast man No, I I would never want a pair of breasts smothering my face ever continue That's the only anyways. Yeah, let's not let's keep it clean all the way. Keep it clean. I was a little too deep here It let's continue I heard that in the back room Yeah He's getting back up and running here um Let's see here The doctor sexy coco wanted to know if you'd take your shirt off for 50 bucks I love because we're ending just now. So you'd be getting ripped off sexy coco because this is the tail end of this You would only see a nipple for a short time I can extend it a little bit He's like, wait, I'll take my shirt off. Just for the yeah, you know what? Anyways, um Let's see here we had uh Take her 610 just wanted to let us know that dragon force released a new song called power to the triforce What? Yeah, wait, that's is that the band that was in guitar hero. Yes. Yeah, where they're in for miss four Okay I think the song that was popular when there was through the fire and flames, which is like That's right. Yeah, something like that. I don't even like that song that much but I like their other songs So they there's actually about zelda like I'm actually this is actually like potentially I haven't listened to it. I have no idea I've never seen andre's just turned on before in my life. Literally. Yeah, I mean if you combine speed metal and zelda like come on All right, take it easy. I don't know if it's uh Eric talk Eric is finally back for the last Is that better? Hey, I hear you. I can't hear you. Whoa Cool I do he's so loud as usual. Well, he's using a blue yeti. No, I was joking. Yeah, he's always so quiet Will we say he's so I hear one of you and the other ones mic? Yeah I'll fix it. It's a old school mic. Yeah, we got a really tough question coming up So I would suggest you mentally prepare for this one I Mentally prepare I'm not sure about that. That's debatable Uh-oh Is it about cocks? debatable. I haven't seen carlos yet. So Actually the bird you haven't seen the bird. Oh, yeah, because it's It's just off. Yeah, it's just off the webcam. So it's too high All right, get your cock. Get your cock. I'm loaded. What's going on? I'm cocked I don't think I'm gonna hate you. Nothing you can say. It's gonna make me hate more than the fat my 800-dollar roadcaster just died Oof It's I think it's under warranty, but well, I'll deal with that. But that's still an oof Hey, you ever get your money back from the people that you bought the article from Ha That's a story for another day the answer. No, well long story short. It's a no But well, can I can I just update them what happened briefly if you don't have to linger on it? Sure. I wasn't lingering on it, but you brought it up Well, yeah, so I just wanted to know if there's any resolution. So last week's podcast He there's this article with a quote About zelda, but it's paywall. It's and it's from like this uk paper It's like one of the biggest papers over there. I forget what it was called But anyways, it's like you need a subscription To access this but you can get a free one month trial So he does it just so we can get the full context of the quote or whatever And Then they won't let him cancel. They make him fall during their uk business hours to cancel. They say that's the requirement Then he calls multiple times and they just tell him. Oh, sorry. We can't do it until you start being paid But it says when you start being paid, you're locked in for six months And it's basically like trying to cancel a gym membership It's just it's fucking crazy and I just can't believe how they can get away with that Gotta read the fine print Yeah, I guess they don't people don't and that's the gotcha not saying it's not the person's fault But they still hey, let me make this as inconvenient as possible So you just say screw it and keep giving me money not that you use my product We just want to extort you well I want an honest question from all of you guys we there's been every every app or program we sign up for There's usually like several pages of documentation that It's recommended we read When do we actually read all of that never never never and no one here does That was your question Well, I just think it's totally bogus that like That kind of stuff is is put there so they protect themselves legally but can also in theory trap us But no one's gonna actually bother to read that no sane person's gonna actually bother to read that I would argue that's a crime, but I'm not a lawyer. So wasn't there that thing I forget what company did it but they put somewhere in their terms and conditions that hey if you read this and let us know We'll we'll give you $10,000 and it took like four years Someone finally read it and And mentioned it to them and they gave it to them Just know I'm talking about No, no, that's That's what a lot of those class action lawsuits end up being about because like exactly You know like when amd was saying they had eight core processors that were getting bodied by the quad core processors from intel Yeah, technically they were caught They were eight cores, but the cores would be like two of the cores would share some cash So it was kind of like they were knee capped eight cores So you were they were kind of misleading the consumer and people got checked for that Yeah, that was really bad. I remember I was so excited. Well, I got an eight core processor And it's like running a dual core. It was just garbage Well, yeah, it was getting it was kind of their eight core processor was competing at the time with current core i5s That weren't even multi-threaded. So it was like what the hell's going on here. Oh, where's the budget choice though? Yeah Thanks, amd Corey McIntyre just wanted to pay 20 bucks just to say hi to rgt He said hey, hey, hey, sorry. Hey, get it right. Hey my bad So hey, and we don't know if rgt's for the rgt. I could be an acronym for something else that could just be like mind blowing I thought it was retro gaming tube it's true Retro gaming tube. What the hell? There you go. Is there a gaming tube 85? It should be r8. You're doing the og callback. Yeah, that was the original channel name That was way too long related to the to to a birth year. Yeah Retro gaming tube. Oh, wow That sounds like a single product from tim and eric Oh, jeez The retro gaming tube Uh, I'm sorry. I'm just marga just wanted to say 38 special cameo and squid dibbles is perfection the squid billies I don't even know what you're talking about. I know the 38 special is Squid billies is a great show Is that like Okay, I'm gonna have to check it out Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. That's why the poop tube. That's why I was thinking of that Anyway, the jostler. Sorry. Um That's all right safe spot Donkey Kong freedom comes out to say hey all well e pd tokyo's donkey kami a launch title for switch to Any of the open world vicarious visions games from 2060 me retained Uh, well your last question. I'm just gonna say no I don't know the first one though um well We don't know I don't I don't I'm assuming no one here knows um, but What I rgt works at nintendo. That's why they hate them. Oh, yeah I mean, so I mean feel feel free to correct me if you got anything but With the vicarious visions game right like a lot of people kind of when that was first sort of like talked about a lot of people Just thought it was like nonsense But a few different people actually corroborated the story But the point is it's a cancel game right from activision not nintendo But I me being the forever optimist right like if nintendo at least was excited about the idea Maybe they'd be willing to explore some concepts that are similar But I doubt that the actual project would be retained, but maybe some ideas might have evolved from there Yeah, I mean that's a that's a microsoft game now Yeah, whatever it is Yeah Yeah, that's strange Yeah, the epd tokyo one like that old rumor that's been around for a long time. I don't I mean, I think it's a game that's going to come out someday. Um, I don't think it's going to be a launch title No, maybe that's just because I think 3d mario. They're not going to pair those two together They're going to separate them out a bit, but I agree I also think it could be year one It could still be in the first name power. Yeah, but you want a launch title if you're nintendo just weird how that stuff like look at uh Gold and I for the n64 the ip ping pong that had to happen for that game to finally come out for the series and for the uh switch Like it took for everyone's like, hey, can we just get uh Gold and I on 360. No the xbox one. No It will actually wait. No. Yeah, it literally took forever Forever because of all the ip nonsense for that game to actually be re-released Oh, that's crazy Just a quick shout out bammal hut for the gifted members. I'm sure those people appreciate it My chat is too far scrolled to read it, but thank you, man Uh, let's see here Uh chris gonzalez He wants to know each of y'all's thoughts on what you think the next zelda to be released is it can be a remake 2d Etc. By the way, excellent cast All right But I hope it's the original 2d That's that's like a top down Yeah, but I mean And I think a 2d is much more likely than a 3d because I feel like Most of their focus was on tears of the kingdom But the other thing that I hope that comes out sometime during the next console I don't know if it would be next but I would love to see An ocarina of time full-blown remake On the ground. Yeah Like an unreal engineering remake. Yeah. Yeah, I like Unreal Engine 5 I'll say that Kyle was trying to make this argument the other day Because there was like an ocarina time ht rumor for a little while back And I was trying to argue that maybe it's possible But the main point I wanted to make in that video is that if you look at kind of like nintendo's history The first two years of every platform They try to get out some kind of major three like mainline zelda That showcases the system So with that in mind like if it's not like a like for example Skyward sword closes the week, right? And so what happened on bu? We got When waker hd We go back to ds. We got spirit tracks late into the systems life cycle what like a year and a half later We got ocarina time 3d. So we just got tears of the kingdom to close out the switch, right? The argument of makings and given the track history That would imply we might get some sort of zelda remaster remake in the first two years of switch To so i'm optimistic we get something like that I don't know if it's before we get 2d zelda, but I feel like the next two zelda projects is a 2d zelda and or Some kind of zelda remake slash remaster Yeah, I mean I I kind of feel like the next zelda is probably going to be another uh remaster report Like I could see the wind waker or father princess getting something done in If not next year the year after and then Maybe a top-down zelda after that then another port slash remaster and then at that point we might start hearing the rumblings and talking about another 3d zelda, uh but I mean It used to be a lot more predictable because zelda games used to come out a hell of a lot more often um And they don't know so I mean they do in terms of remasters, I suppose but like we talk about new games We used to get them like every other year every few years for a little while there Uh now it's like hey, we potentially if there is no top-down one. We might not get a brand new one for five six years, so I I guess the the weird part though is that they're kind of they're running out of like 3d zelda's to remaster Unless they remaster breath of the wild. Yep Which is why I'm thinking that that's what we're talking about which by the way there happened to have be a remaster demo apparently So so I would have remastered breath of the wild two years ago Yeah, let me talk about the third remaster for launch right now Yeah, I I don't know. I I guess maybe it's just because it was just on switch Like if they released breath of the wild 4k 60 like that would be cool But I already have the game like I don't know if I would spend 70 60 dollars just to play the game again At a with better specs unless they added like if they added new content Then my answer would be emphatically. Yes, there would without like new playable content. I would be on the fence at best I can see them walking dlc for tears of the kingdom behind a switch two version And that's why they didn't do any dlc and and that would be fine for me If it comes out like say two years from now where it's enough of a gap where people won't be mad I think they'll still be mad You know people are mad regardless, but less people You tell Sean cares passionately about this topic Just needs that backwards compatibility if it doesn't then I'll rage Mmm. Yeah, I gotta get him talking about like a good like what's the next good wrestling game gonna be that'll get Someone someone asked a question that he's gonna like it's about his favorite company Oh, yeah, that that one is coming up Um There's van guber just wanted to let us know he loves he's loving the discussion. Thank you, man Um the elemental hero the shadow link dragon wolf king Says uh for everyone could just yeah Very short lengthen your name a little bit. Yeah, I wouldn't actually go to a line too if it filled up the entire top I don't know. It's such a good name though Anyways for everyone could the switch you come out this year or early 2024 that nate the hate mentioned Oh the he mentioned the march thing from gamescom. They they speculated on that no one seems to know what it means yet Uh with the dlss. Do you think the cartridge will be upgraded? I think they would have to upgrade the i o speeds of the cartridge just for streaming assets quicker off of it but in terms they wouldn't I don't I'm not richard led better shockingly, but I I don't think That would have anything to do with deep learning super sampling the cartridge But in terms of like bigger open world games getting the assets off of the cartridge quicker It's gonna have to have faster transfer speeds Yeah, it was it was speculated before they might go to 3d nand And uh because for some reason switch doesn't even use that in their cartridges. So that is faster. So But that could just all be because they're trying to work on load times and stuff that we saw Supposedly with the rest of the wild demo Was much quicker was quicker. Yeah, so it could be a load time thing for cartridges I don't think it really has much to do with dlss, but Who really knows? I'm not well. I will say an expert. Um, I asked someone who's more tech savvy about this But because beforehand I was wondering Well, since dlss is an ai upscaler, right? It takes the image and uses artificial intelligence to improve the resolution Does that mean that they do that mean they could use like perhaps like lower resolution textures There's less actual like space being taken up on the cartridges And when I asked my more tech savvy friend, they're like, no They would still have to have a lot of extra storage to have higher resolution textures Even if they're using dlss. So I guess the question to answer the question. They may still need to upgrade the cartridges Oh, yeah, well, they're gonna upgrade them anyways. Why do the third party games are massive, but they have to Yeah, we need more storage space. What's the max max size of a cartridge now like 64 gigs if necessary, right? Yeah Yeah, they do have them if like someone wants to use it but nobody does because they're so expensive Yeah, they just compress the living shit out of the games. That's what they do or just have you download it Yeah, yeah, I love that. It's like, yeah, just uh, you get the box and you open it up and it's like iou with a code on it That's it's a lot of physical games, baby It's such a shame because one of the reasons I love like cartridges so much It's because it's like if the idea behind is that you shouldn't have to download anything else It shouldn't have to be installed You can just kind of like jump in and go But that doesn't always work out physical media. I appreciate you choice to jay. Thank you for that Physical media is already dead But it's keeping real in your yeah, you could I look man. I understand why I don't want physical media to go away either But when you're buying a game right now try to play that game without all the patches in the updates Good luck with that. Have fun. Yeah I I am I am impressed a little bit the spider-man 2 is going to be completely Playable on the disc without any updates But even even a game like that then saw me at police a statement being we highly recommend You do the day one patch for a much better experience So it's like even a game that technically is like they're like, hey full games on the disc and play it without any internet Even that like the best of the best is still not fully on the disc really They're like it's crazy to me because when my children finally hit adulthood I don't think there will be any physical games, which means they're going to have Most their life no physical media of any kind They're not going to have downloadable games. It's all going to be from the cloud at that point and like Streaming. Yeah, maybe Maybe you're going to be able to be like naked only like it's super rich people might might have it local Because you have to buy your own server at that point We'll get you know, it's like kind of like when you think about the internet in the 90s Like you would look where it is. It's everywhere now There's going to be where clouds gaming is going to be able to be up in the woods in the mountain You know, maybe naked playing games Well, definitely that's not even an option in a hammock You actually get a faster download speeds if you're naked playing cloud gaming So it'll actually be a smoother experience less interference It makes a lot of sense I'll stop being stupid for a second, but it's going to get to the point where you're going to have like really fast internet Anywhere you go and once that happens where the infrastructure worldwide or Can handle it. It's we're not going to be there yet, but will it happen? Yeah, it is it's not a matter of if it's a matter of when, you know And it's everyone's guests including the corporations and when that's going to happen They're probably is there going to be a ps6? We don't know probably But it's still like, you know, it may I don't even think they know when it will be ready. It may be ready quicker than they think or it may be way out there targeting 2028 For full clouds like gaming. Oh, no, I thought you meant for ps6 Okay, ps6. I heard that too. You're right. Yeah. Yeah But they may not be sure if that's going to be digital or not Yeah, I heard that too Uh, sammy talks about game says I know this is going to stir the pot La pot's always stirred around here Um, do you think bald girls gave three or cheers of the kingdom wins game of the year? I actually think it's gonna be sonic super star. So end of discussion should be I'm too stupid to play either of those games. So I have no I I've tried to play balders gave three, but I still think it's gonna win I gotta bet I gotta stick with this. Here's to the kingdom. Well, didn't you hear more recently? Um, I'll send you my extra yannis jersey for the occasion. Don't worry. Yeah, we have a bet going. He has to wear a Celtics jersey If balders gave three wins and I have to wear a bucks jersey Yeah, I think one review came in from balder's gate three that drag it under cheers of the kingdom At least I heard that I don't know if I haven't double checked if that's true I'm like that is tampering. That is full-blown tampering I'm dsp gaming levels of bad when it comes to solving puzzles So that's why I couldn't mess with tears of the kingdom Cheer the kingdom was the perfect game for you then. Yeah, my brain turns to much You can just like brute force through it like people that don't solve bubbles It's not like pass out the games where you have to solve the puzzle It's like if you're like too dumb like I'm the same way. So I don't mean that It's like an insult. You can just like find You meant it as an insult to inch to be honest be honest. It's not it's okay. You want to keep it excited for a second Hey, I'm trying to keep it clean I was saying that I was dumb Um, but wait rgt. You said tears of the kingdom for game of the year. You think yeah Yeah What I said not a hundred percent or a hundred percent no hundred percent. It'll end hundred percent. Wow. All right Why do you think that over about is gate three? What's your reasoning? What's the sexier title? I mean, I really do like the of that. There's a lot of curves in that so I like the tears of the kingdom just got called sexy So, yeah, I was just you can have sex with bears in Baldur's gate. You can't do that. Yeah, but what's what's You do say the girl What's gonna appeal more to people wait you can have sex with bears not got to go play You got it. You got to look at the people that are that are in charge. I assume we're talking about the keely awards You got to look at that. Yeah, it's it's really a war You know, it's very political. You have people that have no fucking business talking about video games Like news week that are considered that are voting that are voting The average news week person and Baldur's gate three not my style of game It could be the most amazing game of the year But if you say okay Baldur's Gator Zelda Newsweek's gonna be like, oh zelda. I don't I don't know what this Baldur's Newsweek didn't even play Baldur's gate. Yeah. Yeah, so I mean la time shit like that like Yeah Yeah Uh, who won it last year again? What were the big games? Just remind me I don't even remember who won it last year Not the only Chronicles 3. No, it was Elden Ring. It was Elden Ring. Yeah, Elden Ring. God Yeah, uh, Paul, you remember just want to make sure to shout And the title goes with more recognition than a from software game that that ran that year, but Elden Ring still won Elden Ring is Elden Ring. I've The but I mean too many hours into that the only one that I think could have knocked it off was God of war Because when you look at the names you got a plague tail requiem You got Elden Ring Said that so maybe that's the only one you got God of War Ragnarok horizon forbidden west stray and xenoblade chronicles three I mean You know to me that's a toss up between Elden Ring and God of War And Elden Ring probably had the better Pressed throughout the year coming out as a complete game and you know this out of the other no bugs No major bugs, you know No, no no issues no micro transactions shit like that, you know Maybe they want to be a little bit different so they went with Elden Ring instead of God of War, but you know, it's a coin toss Here's the take that's at least medium heat I think that the next monolith soft game on switch two will get more attention than xenoblade chronicles three Um, and perhaps leading to more votes at the game awards as well We'll see My my thinking is just because the switch two from a technical perspective will be much greater and I think You look at what monolith soft can do With just switch hardware that whatever kind of game they make will really appeal to The game the game awards. Oh, yeah I also think creating a new Franchise like starting from the beginning will help too because a lot of people see xenoblade chronicles three And they think they have to play the first two They don't realize it's like final fantasy where they're all like the same even though they are definitely more connected The the characters you play as are their own are their own thing. Yeah So they can be played in any order like it doesn't really matter Um, but the general consumer doesn't know that they just see that it's the third one and they think they have to play One and two that's like how so many people think I gotta take a whiz, but keep this topic. I'll be right back I will keep it. Yep. No bring the camera with you You got a smart phone first respect time You got the invite link you can rejoin You could do Yeah, first person. Yeah, what was I doing letting my dog go? That's why my shit broke Unless you have a bladder problem, you should be good You don't have to show the pain you just show the stream and it's a good time for everybody Look, I'm not gonna report you to the authorities. We're good I'm gonna shut up now continue. I'm sorry No, I'm gonna I'm gonna know he had a point and then flush when he was done Yeah, I'm I'm more interested in what Richard The yeah, um Bama had uh brought up a topic that I know rgt wants to respond to so we'll we'll hold it for a bit here What are your thoughts about the analog doing a 4k and 64? I'm hard. That was just announced this week. Yeah Yeah, I'm rock hard for it. You know, what's funny all kidding aside is that they didn't think with a FPGA they could have done it at first. That's why they're like We can't get the n64. We can't program the FPGA to run the n64 properly Not gonna probably not gonna happen. I guess they figured it out And that'll be awesome because you know, it's analog man. They're gonna do it right You know what I mean? It's not going to be like some Piece of crap knockoff crap. There are other consoles. They play the evercade um Like cartridges, right? Yes, ever kid is cool. The ever kid is cool. I will give it. Oh, no. I'm sorry not ever kid. That's not what I'm thinking ever drive Yes They play those right like their concerts and play those in the past Okay, because I have tried more ever drive with the whole library. So that would be dope I'd like that Yeah, so my my my thought process is like um It's it like for me. It's interesting right because me the nintendo fan boy is like, oh, okay n64 4k. That's that sounds pretty good Oh, but with switch two coming out And probably being in a solo are we gonna have n64 and 4k on that? Oh, look, i'm a fat unattractive vanna white. I'm showing this off. But yeah, it's uh, you could play All of the ever drive part with cricks easy. Yeah, they work perfect. Yeah cricks, right? Okay, nice Because that's what analog's goal is is to program the fpga. So it's exactly They say the best way to look at an fpga is not emulation. It's simulation. So This is really Super nintendo in here and that's how they made the fpga work and that's why All the different accessories like you could buy the sega genesis the mega sg and that'll work flawlessly I think I put it in a review. I did it'll work flawlessly with the sega cd They even give you the pad to put and slide the mega sg on there because it is the hardware It's just well, it's better If you you know if like if you don't care about collecting you're not buying a genesis or whatever for the collection for being a collector This is the way to go, you know, yeah So anyway, man, I love in the world What analog yeah, they're they're how they sell shit they make me angry. I agree with you They they make limited run look like saints in my opinion at least limited run adapted their business model I remember I'd be there on the front lines 10 a.m. Or 6 p.m. Yeah, two opportunities to get their products and everyone got pissed now They do open pre-orders analog if anything they get worse about their their ordering stuff It's it's an absolute shit show It's an absolute shit show and if they gave a fuck about the consumer And their standard market they wouldn't allow you to buy two of these products But they allow you to buy two so you can scalp one of like that's the only reason why If you look at the analog the translucent ones that they came out with the glow in the dark ones They allowed you to buy two of those nobody needs two of those at the very least You're buying a second one for yourself because you already got the other pocket It makes it a pain in the fucking ass To get something and they don't care they they they They still have products that they have not released yet People have ordered the analog pocket from pre-orders the initial one They have not gotten theirs yet But these translucent ones that they just happened to make some these these glow in the dark ones They just happened to make some were already available and sent to people. There's still people waiting on the analog pocket Where's the turbo graphics 16 cd thing that you showed off that was supposed to come out in 2023 That's completely gone. I haven't said a fucking peep about it Why because enough people weren't signing up to be notified about the pre-orders So you were like oh people aren't interested in this we're not going to sell out of them in 10 seconds Fucking interested in that and what annoys me about it too is that like I want to give them money for these products They're not they guess I can't get them. All right, so I'll keep the money in my wallet Yeah, you know what I mean? It's the their business model is fucking terrible. Their products are great I I like their products, but At the same time like Just their their shitty business model makes them so unattractive I'm learning a lot of someone who's never attempted Yeah, it's fake scarcity. It's the whole business model relies on FOMO. I'm not talking about destiny FOMO They're big milkers talking about the bad I never shout out the destiny my goodness. I've never got out to big milkers everywhere big milkers everywhere. Shout out Yeah, shout out to big breasts. Okay. I don't know if you've ever noticed that but No, I've never noticed that. Hey, we're that's keeping a clean chat. I know what you're gonna say, but that's complimenting half the population Just went like boom That's spending a 90 degrees got us all talking about breasts, but But yeah, I look here's the thing beyond their rgt is 2000 correct beyond they're absolutely a boring business model which I loathe analog um the The analog 64 whatever the hell they're gonna call it is going to be off the charts I I hope they actually come out with the Turbo graphics 16. I will fucking I'm gonna piss off rgt. I'll buy 12 of those things because I love it. That's fine I'm I'm joking, but I'm saying like if you want to I mean you got the money fucking do it You know, it's I mean they make I I do have a couple of the super nts in the mega sgs I got one to review. They sent me a review. You know, I liked it so much I bought another one to support it you make good products But rgt's right this game of hey you have to wake up at 6 42 a.m And you have 10 milliseconds to get it or you're fucked in the ass Yeah, it's like angry the average consumer is an old person who has a job And they're at work and they You know it's not product. Yeah No one younger than their 20s Wants like a like a nice like game boy advance, you know Yeah, I mean it's a high-end product. That's high price You know, you could you could buy a The gb boy calor that takes game boy cartridges the same way that you know, it's a fraction of the price You know, it's a high-end niche product And at first when you're starting out in business I can understand lower runs because you don't know if people are going to be excited for this You don't know if people are going to be you know, you literally go out of business if you mess it up Right. So I understand that I understand That's why I give limited runs a little bit of leeway because of the fact that they were a smaller company I went I remember visiting limited run when back of the time when only they only did playstation 4 stuff They didn't have access to Nintendo stuff and they didn't have access to anything else was just playstation. I went to their offices Well, they didn't beat us when they launched, right? Or am I? Did they do Vita? I love they didn't do Vita when they started it was just ps4 It might have been possible. I don't know. There might have been Vita in there too, but it was just anyway, sorry, I got good go ahead and like It was literally it was literally two dudes They had this office That shit was just all over the fucking place, you know, they had like a little boardroom area The other side of the office. There's a little hallway and then there was another office That was their studio where they made games mega What was it mighty rabbit studios? I think it was called. Yeah Yeah, a few of their first few games. They were actually in-house games. So they didn't know what the fuck Clear was them, right? Yeah breaching clear So they didn't know what the fuck they were really good when they were just like, well, you know We want to make physical game. Let's see how it goes and then as time went on they got Way too big for their britches people started getting mad about it. So they at least Adapted their business money. You could talk about shipping times and I'm right there with you I don't buy anything from them. Did I buy the Jurassic Park thing? Maybe go fuck yourself, but You know, at least they allow me To give them money and my take for fucking ever for the product to show up My shredders revenge took for fucking ever. I haven't even taken it out of the goddamn Brown box that it came in. It's just sitting on my kitchen table But at least it eventually came and at least I was able to give them money. You can't do that with analog Right analog. There's here's a perfect example. I would have bought a pocket from you I would have bought It pre-ordered anyway the Whatever you're calling the turbo graphics 16 because I know they're doing the cd rom drive on it like you're losing money We are the market like rgt said it's it's you're having older generation consoles that you're making into these fpga pieces of hardware Like why don't you want my money? Okay, like what it's just you're you're shooting yourself in the foot and they've been doing it too long at this point Yeah, it's it's there's no excuse for it anymore. Well for for companies like them They don't have software sales So they don't care if it all goes to scalpers or not because they're not going to make any more money after the fact So all they care about is selling them and then one other thing I just wanted to mention was that limited run used to be Exactly like that. They would put their their shit up for sale. It would be gone in 10 seconds and that would be it But when they started to get bigger they started doing what they still do now is They give you a full month and they just take all the orders However, money it is and then they know how many to make from that Yeah That's like the Where they can do that now because it is getting a little ridiculous It's limited limited run to switch to like the Kickstarter model where you get everyone's money now And then you just get all your orders in and you just when ships done is done Yeah, and aside from being delayed it works out really well. I mean it's a tough Waited when you don't know how many you're gonna make obviously it's gonna take a long time to get them out But I think they're they're probably doing the best They're doing it the best way possible. I think Oh, it's better than As rgt brought up at least in a new model is something that you never even finished filling all the prior pre-orders for And then sending you out of like that's messed up You still people are waiting this one in the original shit. You're there's like, fuck you Here's a new one that if you didn't get on this one now, you don't get it. Well, I literally still have my pre-order for the amico I'm still waiting on that tommy I mean cut me a dm and he's like i'm going to my high school reunion in boston Do you want to come meet me and play the amico and I was like, yeah, sure So I played it for like a couple hours. Really? Yeah And it was it was so bad that like I just didn't ever make a video on it because I just felt bad Oh, man, you're nicer than me. I would I have all the footage and stuff, but yeah That's a lot of man See richie, you got to go to one of his one of the uh, you said he's like an orchestra director or something right now He has the video games live thing like all right. He talks so you know, what's funny is that you just show up That are holding the sign Well, he also told me that he actually dm me one time after I called after I consistently called him out for His company being bullshit, which it was he actually dm me one night and said that I need to see it Like I need psychological help the irony coming from him uh, yeah, he just Poof vanish disappeared and now he's just back to doing video games live Like it never happened even if he was the guy who was like, I'm gonna prove the haters wrong by going into the witness protection program Uh Boom in here, so do you guys think the next switch will have two types like the current switch and a switch light or will it just be One switch option released I think there's credibility that there's going to be a digital model 100 200 percent. I knew you were going to say it. I don't even get a rumor to think that launch Yes, I will fight back on launch. I say no there will not be a digital Why they're too What is what is what market does nintendo care about the most what's their most important market Not in sales just in terms of them as a company What is everything pander everything catered to or do all decisions and business decisions Eminate from and every other nintendo of branch follows suit as just a marketing company Love what else you're talking about Japan are you talking in nintendo of japan? Nintendo of japan is nintendo nintendo of america marketing firm nintendo of europe marketing firm in japan When you look at physical game sales, they still account for over 70 percent of the market the nintendo switch 76 percent of the market there is no I I I will bet my beard on it That there is no way that they're going to introduce an all digital system while we would view it as an option A lot of people there would view it as a priority and I do not see them I do not see them doing that. What if they just don't release the digital version in japan? I was just going to say that I I still I still don't see why you do that at launch I I still I still just do not see why you do that at launch. What's the benefit? What's what kind of cost cutting are you doing? Well, I mean if you want to get like a mainstream price point of $300 Maybe that's kind of there, but you don't need that But it's still hard where they would take out that would cost money to put in a cartridge slot It still would save them money Yeah, that depends on the emulation model though because if it's if it's any I mean if it's emulating Yeah, but if it's actually like there's just shoving like the tega x1 inside there That's all you know backwards compatibility Yeah Well, that that would be another selling point to offsell people. It's like, hey, you want backwards compatibility. Here's your hole I will spend whatever I'm gonna buy the one with the hole to put the cartridges, especially if it has the backwards compatibility But rgt is right like they maybe they'll just do a physical one at launch because In japan physical is king still so yeah, I mean you look at how You look at how the xbox and the ps5 sold in japan and granted they Those companies did not care about japan at all. They shat them But still even when it became more readily available They're not selling the same way the switches are selling at least in terms of number of units and the switch is a seven-year-old system So I think part of the hesitation is those companies offering a digital model or potentially could be You know, they see that and they're like, okay, the writing's on the wall now We're not interested so I think If they do it even if they don't do it in japan if they release a digital model It's kind of sending that same message. So I think there is some credence to what you're saying rgt Yeah, it's interesting because I Wasn't like seriously cotton played in this because it originally came from A rumor that had a lot of other stuff attached to it that didn't you know, didn't really seem right like right Yeah, the code name being ng which that's obviously not what the code name is They're being $50 price point like that doesn't but then The nate that hit on his podcast that they talked about that exact rumor and then he mentioned that he had actually also heard about this, you know all digital Uh potential switch, but you know, he doesn't have enough information to corroborate it and everything But it's it made me start realizing well everyone else has done it would nintendo dare To do it at launch like that's the big thing to me is like I think it'll happen They'll be at all digital definitely Eventually sure at launch though I don't think so That could be wrong Yeah, I don't want to sound like any of us. No, yeah I mean how often does it take at least two skus at launch? They did it for the we you that didn't work out well for them Is there another example where they type? Such an awful choice. You bet your beard on this one rgt Not bad my beard on it. Oh the chat saying there's only thing I think that might be the nintendo like I said before I think nintendo would be like, oh, hey if you want that backwards compatibility, you got to get the cartridge slot So who knows well, I think market Yeah, you said a couple times but I just want to point out They in a couple of their like official shareholders meetings They've said that the next system is still going to use the same online account system So even if you don't get the cartridge slot one if you bought the games digitally You should still have backwards compatibility if they're having backwards compatibility But yes, you'd have to buy the cartridge one To play games you own physically It would just be nice. I think the digital one will be backwards compatible if they're having backwards compatibility Just through your nintendo account You're fired you jake you're fired from this podcast for making logical points All right, this is not a logic mace podcast. Yeah, you have to yeah I'm not I don't have as much common sense. He brought out his true self in the two inch destroyer and now it's just No one can win against too much So yeah, that okay. Yeah valid point. Okay, I'll shut up Uh michael Lorenzo second said what resolution do you think the switch to will be in handheld mode? 200p Yeah, 360p, I think they're gonna keep it at 720 I think so too That's uh, then they should have an OLED panel in there goddamn They should I do I totally agree but they're they're gonna save that for the OLED version to release later I think it will be greater than 720p Are you trying to say it's going to be a between her like a 900 could be could be 900 That would be fine. I don't know how that works, but potentially in cloud screen 1080p Okay, the poor hole the butthole. I just figured 720p gives them Um, because obviously it's going to be down clocked or whatever it is in handheld I just sort of think 720p is just an easier target to hit for For games and everything but but not every game is going to need that extra horsepower A lot of them are a lot of them will because we're deep it. We're getting I mean indie games But You know, I just wish I would be perfectly happy because I kind of almost feel like they feel like they have to go above 720p I wish I was like sitting there with a bunch of sweaty asian men and just said to them like look Everyone's happy with the OLED panel at 720p If that costs the same you don't have to up the resolution. Why I said that they're sweaty asian men I don't know. I'm guessing it's hot in the office, but let's get a little warm It gets warmer in our offices. I can't imagine when you're with a bunch of other men Oh god, my my armpits would be dripping too if I was in a hot office, but like Oh like Nintendo if it costs the same to do 720p even in 2023 People would be fine with it if that means you could put an OLED screen on it, but you know, yeah I guess for me, I stuck in my head that's going to be eight inches and I know that's a rumor, right? So like it's not it's not guaranteed Six inches too many That eight inches is what it's got to be Like now that now that I now that I think that's a possibility like that like I'm going to be disappointed otherwise Not really. I won't care. Oh, if it was the exact same size as the switcher I wouldn't I won't I won't actually care, but I will be disappointed if they don't think of something They can do with that screen where it doesn't feel like an improvement over their current offerings So, you know, if it's 720p, I would love if they went mini led man. I'd be happy then But yeah, let me tell you something if you play like a game What's the game that really looks next gen and you were even playing it at 720p OLED You would be happy with that screen if it was if you no one complains about the resolution on the New monster hunter would would probably be pretty great. Yeah, I'd love I'd love the OLED screen on the switch I think things look so good on it It also helps that I don't have like OLED TVs in my house. So it actually literally is like the best looking it gets for me Yeah I'm just gonna stick by that like Something that's kind of neat about the switch is that because people take it with them to play It's kind of like marketing, right? Like you see someone on the plane playing a switch. You're like, well, what's that right? So if the tunnel has a switch to and it just looks like a switch I don't I just personally think they're going to do something with the screen That's going to kind of suggest it's better than what was before. So if they have this a basically same size 720p That's not OLED. I just don't see how that's going to work. So I I think it's It's gonna be best. We're gonna show call of duty on the thing and you'd be like can't do that on can't do them switch Yeah, anyways, Microsoft said they're going to be coming out with cold duties for the next gen switch. So that deal is official now, right? Yeah, yeah, it's not gonna happen. It's active now. Should it should go into effect with the next one next november I'm kind of hoping that they release um block ops to remastered for switch one Yeah, I think it happened Um And then he had a second part to it. He had another question basically is are any of us going to personally review mario wonder eric You're totally going to review mario wonder, aren't you? Hey, eric, eric You've been talking enough already. You just I know I've done a little bit Yeah, sorry I talked way too much. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for acknowledging it quick question before we move on though So, um review tech you said you don't think a remaster would happen. I mean, obviously there's nothing it's just like me Just kind of wish listing, right? But would they put Current call of duty on switch one or are they just going to ignore switch one entirely? Because I think that system's still going to be like out in the market for another two years It doesn't have the hardware to handle like even like it Right game So you didn't even bring the mobile version which would have made them bank on the switch over to the switch I guess um, you know part of like the argument with that like That legal case is that in like maybe they might have been able to bring it over to switch if they really wanted to So I guess the question is if they have this deal going will they just do the switch to version or will they have something for switch? And that's why I entertain the possibility of a remaster because obviously that's easier than getting over current call of duty I could see them maybe bringing switch mobile to the Are not switch mobile jesus christ bringing a call of duty mobile over to the switch. Sure. I could see them doing that Yeah, which actually isn't terrible, but I just don't think it has the hardware grunt to handle it a current gen Even if it's like cross gen Maybe they do cloud That's another way to kind of get there. I don't even want to think about that I know and I rather smack a brick across my head. So that's cool But technically ever read the tables on switch I've tried the cloud. Yeah the cloud gets fucking terrible. Yeah, I could eat my ass. Yeah, I don't play it Uh, if you do your question that you asked Nate, I'm probably not gonna be reviewing Mario like officially I'm more likely to review spider-man, but I don't really do a lot of reviews So probably not yeah, I might really review channel We'll talk about it on the podcast, but that'll be the closest you'll get to a review from from my side of things We're gonna do a review Yeah, it's just I got a lot of shit going on right now. So who's gonna be playing it in in 14 minutes Um, I might I'm gonna be sleeping in 40 They won't even send me the code until like 9 a.m. Or something. So mine game's already ready because I didn't get it physically It's like this is a question for rgt Yeah, this is the rgt question here. Uh, do you think c.m. Punk comes back to the wwe? No rgt is looking at breasts No, I'm playing Wayne Gretzky 3d hockey on the d 007. So you should be looking at breasts. Um, no, I don't think he will I think he has he has too many He's just kind of fuck off Yeah, he's got a lot of problems. He's a giant fucking man child but like not in the I don't think he's right in the head to be honest Something's going on Something's going on. Maybe he's just always been this way. This is he has he's always had a fucking holier than that ego Yeah, I don't He was entertaining for a small bit until it just all went to shit to be honest for me anyways Um, Chris Gonzalez wants us to change his mind that Shane McMahon is a top 10 wrestler Like all time. What are we talking about? What are you talking about? He's a stubborn man He he jumps off of high stuff the last time he saw him. He blew out his fucking leg at wrestlemania Name a memorable match that he had that was because of the match itself and not because of a stunt can't do it Yeah, or because of like the storyline reason, right? Like You could even do store like against kane. That was the most interesting storyline where kane Fucking electrocuted his testicles on raw Yeah, that that was a good wrestling chance So change your mind. Well, if you think he's a top 10 wrestler, I don't think there's anything we can say it's gonna change your mind, but uh Um, it's a then your top 10. I'm guessing it's pretty weak pretty Pretty out there like having a guy that got his testicles electrocuted. I feel like that's worthy of a top 10 I feel like he urges There are moments like he really works in the storylines and stuff, but like just he's not a good in-ring performer Yeah, his punches are fucking a try. Have you ever seen the man throw a punch? Look at the punches he threw on randy orton back. I'm like 2014 they're fucking legendary because of how bad they look Even when you have good wrestlers trying to sell it it just didn't know he is he is a He's he's a decent stunt man Yeah, crazy stunts are fine take away his the fact that his father ran the company Would would he have been a wrestler? No, you know, he doesn't he doesn't have the talent or charisma Yeah, the storyline only ever worked because of his dad anyways, so Um, let's see here our kool-aid Three said nintendo debuted the first successful hybrid handheld console Will competitors follow in the coming gens and will nintendo ever go back? Why or why not? Doesn't seem like anyone's gonna fall for a while. I mean, I'm sorry tando pcs, but you know, that's a different market That that yeah, I think that the switch made the like steam deck slash rog ally slash 7000 ion eos Um market emerged but in terms of like microsoft or sony now I don't see them. The only thing you're gonna get is the portal which is a good dinner plate There's a lot more hope for sony now that jim ryan's gonna be out I don't think so you think they're gonna make a hybrid those but they specifically said hybrid handheld console I don't think yeah, I think you got the portal and that's all you get I think they know all this money is moved on from it You know, it's funny is that the portal actually sold out too. I wonder if a bunch of people think it's like a portable actual portable PlayStation they're gonna get it home and be like wait a second A lot of people even the people that know what it is don't fully understand how it works I I could say this people think you have to be on your own on the same Wi-Fi in your house for it to work We we we don't know the pre-order numbers on it, right? Like it could have just been a really low run Yeah, maybe it might not be like Sony might know it's not a big deal Like they might just five thousand orders have a good day. We sold out good headline It's like I this is gonna be a huge exaggeration But like when the xbox series s sold out in japan like when it first came out how many Wow, holy crap, they're big to be fair it was like 25 Didn't we use sell like one system the other day? I was like that was some headlines for that like there was a brand new we use it in a store somewhere I would probably do it like In their inventory in the back and an employee found it It was like, oh my god, can I buy this and they just let them Yeah, you could read you literally flip that thing an unopened brand new we you Yes, I gotta empty the whole beer. Yeah, it might be a good deal. Yeah, that's probably a great deal Um, but yeah, I don't think there's gonna be like anyone serious in like the console space You know, I kept thinking like if a new person new company came in like if apple tried to come in with something They got phones though But yeah, I know they do have the phones. That's like there's been rumors on apple game consoles forever And nothing's really ever came out of it. So Uh, I just can't think of anyone who Here's the thing. Obviously, there's a big market. It's just Can that market get bigger than it currently is and is the room for somebody else to even come in And do you think that that company could take it away from nintendo's like we've had so many Just look at handheld gaming on its own all these companies have tried to compete with nintendo over the years And all of them went away from from actually doing that Um, even sony's attempt, you know, they they tried for a couple gents and then they they dipped out it's It's really hard to compete against a company that has such a lock on a very specific base I mean just look at how much xbox has struggled to gain meaningful ground on sony They've been trying for generations And outside of one and it was the one that sony messed up real bad at the beginning Which sony ended up Ended up ahead in the end anyways, but I would say they probably still consider that a successful generation for them Yeah, so It's interesting like if they're struggling to compete against, you know directly with sony in like a similar sort of field I don't know that anyone thinks they're gonna be able to touch uh, nintendo in the hybrid uh field and What what's crazy? I think about the hybrid field as I honestly think there's a long future ahead For a hybrid system, uh pretty much I mean, I could see it being there all the way until cloud gaming takes over to be honest 100 or until the sun blows up Well, that's yeah, I mean Actually, and I get better and just make it more versatile like yeah I will not be more feature rich I will not be on board with cloud gaming until it's exactly like having the native hardware in your home Yeah, I there is not no. Oh, it's just a little bit of latency. My ass is just a little bit I want no latency and until I could get that naked in the mountains I am not on the idea that for clout that I would be reliant You offer me that fully clothed not interested. I need the clothes to be Streamlines The only reason I don't know if cloud gaming will ever fully take over is just because it relies on um isps and it relies on electricity And the thing is those aren't always reliable as everyone knows you have power outages You have obviously internet outages all the time even when you're on fiber. It still happens data caps Data data caps like in some countries. It's they have data caps for everything in some countries So even if you have fiber, it doesn't really matter. You're just going to run out of data even faster Uh, I hope it never takes over. Well, the other thing is that that might prevent it from taking We're looking at from perspective as americans, right? Like we're looking at technology kind of catching up Here in america where technology is pretty good. There are other parts of the world where they game But like this idea of like constant internet access Yeah, it's it's even more Partially us like that honestly But there's parts of Europe where their internet bodies are internet like they have insane In japan bodies are our internet too, but there's no sorry There's certain places in the states that they're getting faster speeds in other parts too. So it's yeah, look I'm fine with it. I like having my games local on my ssd or whatever Micro sd card. I'm good. Keep cloud gaming in the cloud for a very long time and out of my hands Yeah, thank you. Then will nintendo ever go back? No Honestly unless somebody comes and oh and starts to really push them out of it I don't see them and even go back. They'll probably Nintendo probably try to invent its own market again somewhere else Yeah, I I don't really see Um, it happening. I think the nintendo is kind of really Positioning themselves to kind of have this incredible growth Like you look at the mario bros movie if they start doing more movies Like they're going to kind of continue to build up their brand you have the parks They're they're kind of I talked about this earlier, right? But like their ecosystem of game development. They are sitting on games They are taking more time with more games and making them better So they're making more games better games. They're making movies Expanding their reach they're expanding the parks Like I think nintendo has this trajectory even if switch 2 doesn't do better than switch 1 Like if we look at this from a you know from a larger scale perspective, like I think Nintendo has this upward trajectory. So this idea that they might be At at any point in the foreseeable feature like gonna get to a point where they have to kind of like dial it back I don't think that's likely that said You look at the switch and you look at what we think the switch 2 will be They do have a scenario where they can have like different versions of the system, right? So we have the switch like that's handheld only I'm not saying it's likely but like I think maybe your best bet of of nintendo going back Is just having an alternative Nintendo system that it comes out mid gen that it's maybe only like for the tv that sports like better visuals Or maybe like a cheaper Yeah with the vita they did that yeah I don't I just that's what I love about the switch is the fact that it's a hybrid and especially like I I'm kind of kind of reiterate what I said before if they Give me rog ally performance with better than switch battery life like by two hours I'll be fully on board and be solely playing on the switch too if they give me that You know, so yeah, I don't really see a reason for them to go back to a conventional console They should keep where they're because this has been their most successful piece of hardware ever. I believe right? Um, it's getting there. Well, if you combine software and hardware together it is Yeah, they just it's a second best-selling nintendo system of all time It's got to catch the ds But it's all the software sales are the highest ever for uh, let me like for home because it is technically a home Console they call the home console. Yeah. Yeah the most successful home console. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't see why you would change it and most consumers including me I don't want them to change that formula if I want a powerful home system. There's other options to go to I want that hybrid Those other companies would have to go out of business and stop making them for me to even because then Nintendo will be like, oh, there's a market there And then they would just and that would be going back or maybe they have a handheld and a home console Or maybe it just benefits them and more people to buy what they have and play it at home Well, let me ask another question. Um at the risk of delaying this podcast romantic. Um Will any of the three uh companies bow out ever? Microsoft I could see I would say my yeah, I was about to say even with what happened with the acquisition It would be Microsoft that would see Microsoft might just go straight services and try to get them on everything else Right Like it would just be like the higher ups just to setting. Hey, this is not worth it well and then uh Phil Spencer when they were having like the hearings He was like being such an xbox boner killer saying if this deal doesn't go through there may not be an xbox Like yeah, that sure makes me confident to go out and buy your hardware. Phil. Thank you It's because there was I think they were they were thinking about selling it off They were yeah, I'm making money Well, I bet you they probably like, you know the lawyers and I'm sure they had a meet board meeting and they said like Is it worth damaging the xbox brand by saying it won't exist? Is that worse? Then not getting the deal to go through they're like no the deal is more important. All right damage the xbox brand. It's fine Like if they probably I mean the deal is just going to make them straight profits and make them all their money back Anyways, eventually so well, that's why they were like, well if we say something bad about xbox It's worth it to get the acquisition is what I maybe I worded it wrong And we had one last person chime in here just wanted to say that they went with spider-man 2 But cheers to the mario launch which I don't care what you guys play So I'm gonna play spider-man 2 mario mario wonder and sonic superstars all within the next three weeks like it's There's nothing wrong with that and I feel you man games are expensive Yeah, they're expensive as hell. There's people there's people like eric over here. He's not gonna buy anything We're not gonna say he's still playing an old game and games are expensive I could get to it when i'm when i'm done with whatever you're playing There's people I know still playing elden ring right now. There's people uh Yeah, like like you know, I still have to play it I haven't gone around to it. Yeah, I yeah for how much you're like, oh, you mentioned earlier I like from software and then I'm like, but you're not playing like arguably the best gate No, I will play it. I just haven't gone around to it. This year. It's just been a hectic year for me I think it's one of those things that maybe you're afraid to start because what if it takes you away I'm keeping my blood-borne blue balls until they remaster it. It just sucks you in Oh, it will It doesn't like well for like a month That's what'll happen. That's the kind of game it is like yeah, I know it's honestly if they if they save that for the ps5 pro launch And like a remastered blood-borne that could take advantage of the pro That would be Did you just did you just explode in your pants? Yeah, oh, but yeah, I just have to ruin my pants because That was a clean way to phrase that you guys Yeah, it was I nutted in my pants clean That's actually a ball kidding aside though like think about a selling point like hey, you want exactly that's version of the Bloodboard play it on the ps5 pro at 4k 120 hertz Yeah, that would be huge. That would be great for marketing for sure Yeah, this is not so low-key, but I am kind of waiting to get have switch to announced and see what third-party games are coming Because imagine they announce elden ring for switch 2 I'm probably playing it. It needs to be on switch 2. It's gonna be on I I would shave my beard and my ass if it's not on switch 2 There we go. We've all we've all got shaving bets up. I mean, can you imagine next year Switch 2 gets announced and there's monster hunter. There's elden ring. There's resident before remake There's 3d mario and metric prime 4 like I would just I would have to mean it has to be because the iphone 15 pro the iPhone 15 pro and pro max They're going to be playing triple a games like so they have to have like those games for the next switch That's why do you think apple caved and got the triple a games on here because they see What like the steam deck and all those other Consoles, they want a piece of that pie Because we haven't gone to dlc for elden ring yet. That gives me hope that they'd be willing to go back and bring that to switch 2 I'll mean they have uh demon souls remastered on the switch. So There's that there it is. Yeah, great. Wait. Well dark souls Dark souls Was on a ps5. Oh, it's delicious. Yeah Yeah, I do. Yeah, that's good. All right. Well, I think that's uh, gonna wrap up the show We'll just go around the room quick.
