 We're going to talk about some news today, we got 4 stories for you guys, kind of a mixed bag here of really neat and interesting good stories and some strange ones including the possibility that at some point in the future we may not be able to trade in physical games anymore even though they might still exist. Look this is kind of crazy, so is the fact that Nintendo shot down yet another fan game but it highlights something that many people wish would change about the company and by the way we have an update a little bit on the Mario Movie 2 and speaking of Mario, a little odd discovery has finally been made after nearly 28 years. Baby let's go ahead, buckle up and let's dive right into the news. And the very first story we're dealing with is the Link's Awakening fan game, so for those who are unaware because we didn't really talk about it on the channel, there was a fan version of Link's Awakening DX that was ported to PC, you're seeing footage of it right now, it looks really cool and it zooms out more and has a more dynamic loading screen and obviously it runs at super high frame rates, not that frame rates at this point really matter when you're playing this type of game at any time you're above 60 FPS for this you're pretty much at the peak of what's going to be possible but it's still really neat and honestly a lot of people are really enjoying it now of course this was not a sanctioned game by Nintendo to have this done to and it got really popular and like all fan games that get really popular like this, Nintendo's legal team took action they basically gave out what was essentially a cease and desist and the download link and everything was taken down now this has been downloaded by so many people it's not that hard to find if you know the places to look so once it hits the internet it's on the internet but this does highlight that Nintendo still is doing these sort of things when something like this might have made more sense to possibly hire this developer on and maybe make this possible on Switch or Switch 2 as an NSO magic edition and then you can start doing this to maybe other old school games or maybe just try to convince Nintendo to release some of these games on PC look I don't think there was any harm in this fan game it certainly wasn't going to hurt sales of Link's Awakening on Switch the remake version certainly wasn't going to stop people from playing the original on NSO I think it was mostly a harmless thing that fans created but Nintendo's going to Nintendo and anytime you release a fully playable version of their game in an unintended way Nintendo's going to take action so it's unfortunate it was also expected quickly before I jump into this next story hey guys we are on our road to 150,000 subscribers so I'd appreciate if you would drop a like subscribe to the channel and maybe go ahead and ding that bell icon so you're notified of all uploads okay we're done let's go next up we have an update on the mario movie too and this is because Jack Black actually talked about it and look we already know the second mario movie is gonna happen we're gonna have a sequel this was already confirmed by Chris Pratt a long time ago when he said he was signed down for multiple mario movies and he mentioned in that little late night talk show that he wasn't even sure if he was supposed to say that but it is what it is they were always planning before the first one came out to make more so they had a feeling it would be successful but Jack Black put out a few interesting quotes about the mario movie the second one basically saying it's radio silence and he hasn't been contacted for anything regarding the movie also he went on to say he's got some ideas for it if they want to listen such as he thinks maybe the second movie should be called bowser's revenge or something along those lines just so hey it's like an empire strikes back sort of theme and he also wonders if it should be more of a musical you know you could look at all the disney style musical you know animated films and i do enjoy those but he's like hey look the second joker film is going to end up being a musical so why not make this a musical i'm still a little skeptical on the second joker film being a musical but we'll see how it works remember being a musical doesn't mean the entire thing is saying to you right it just means there's a lot of songs not necessarily that the entire story is told through songs so we'll have to wait and see what happens but i just know that these are just ideas from jack black but the big update really that we should take away from this as it doesn't sound like they've really made any progress on the next mario movie now at least from you know recording lines and getting things ready to go there's probably a script writing happening and i will note that this sort of makes sense one we just had a you know there was an actor strike and a you know a writer strike and i know both of those things are over now but they were ongoing for so long it's highly unlikely they would be at the point of needing to record voices right now probably still a year or two away from doing that but beyond that they're focusing on the zelda movie right miyamoto is is over there working on the zelda movie chances are they're gonna need to make significant progress on that movie before miyamoto swings back over to illumination for the second mario movie so while both movies will probably get at some point some crossover and being made behind the scenes i would venture to guess that the mario movie is not nearly as far along as what the zelda movie is at least when it comes to the sequel now next up we're gonna be talking about sony but i want to be clear here i love playstation 5 i've actually been playing skull and bones on the system because man oh man oh man is it it's kind of crazy i got into that closed beta like i playstation 5 is a system i actually enjoy but i'm bringing up these policies from sony because it's a little scary on what this could mean for the future if everyone starts to adapt them and i don't even know how legal this is and it's interesting so we all those sony's already been in hot water lately right them in discovery had a split sony just jacking things you purchased right out of your library and no refunds or anything really sucks they also accidentally corny will band thousands of accounts for moving hundreds and hundreds of games from people's libraries they've restored some of the accounts but not all of them even though the users never did anything wrong really really sucks there but now they have this new policy that they added in europe and oh my gosh shout out to rgt85 for pointing this out to me because i didn't pay enough attention to sony side of stuff but oh man here's a here's exactly what it reads and this is scary you must not resell either disc based games or digital games unless expressly authorized by us and if the publisher is another company additionally by the publisher so what they're saying is hey did you buy a physical copy of spider-man 2 you cannot resell it unless we say you can oh and by the way did you buy a physical copy of the latest call of duty game guess what not only do we have to tell you that you can sell it if it's a ps5 version so does the publisher this is a policy while i'm not sure that it's legal if it is legal if it becomes legal this is scary because other companies may adopt this policy nintendo xbox etc and if it gets widely adopted and starts to leave europe and go to a bunch of other countries like here in the united states that is scary this is essentially a we're trying to end physical games period we already know we can't resell digital games in most marketplaces and we have a hard time dealing with that but that's reality but one of the primary focuses to still buy physical games is resale value and if suddenly game stop and all these other retailers out there i'm not saying that ebay is going to get shut down at the moment but a bunch of these other places that we're selling games at start to be like hey we can no longer buy your games because sony never gave permission for said games to be resold that is scary and i do not like it and this is just sony pushing everyone closer and closer to an all digital marketplace but again this is just in one you know this is just in europe i don't even know if it's legal if it is legal and we find out that it is i do worry if other companies may adopt this policy someone always goes first everyone else seems to always follow suit and sony is one of the market leaders so if this starts to work for them and they're seeing higher profit margins pushing people to digital what happens if nintendo says hey you can no longer resell our games that's going to be a rough future if that is what we're looking at for switch to but again this is just a sony policy in europe now lastly we have a little a little bit of an easter egg uh this is something that people have known existed for a long time but we never really saw proof you guys remember super mario 64 right of course you do it's one of the greatest games ever made one of the best mario games ever made they pivotal game you know it was one of the big selling points for super mario 3d all stars and all this stuff right and they've technically like remastered it and added more playable characters and stuff like this on older versions on handheld but here's the thing way back in the day there were reports that luigi was supposed to be a playable character in the original release on the n64 and there were reports that nintendo had this in a demo at space world and you might not remember what space world was it was like a e3 style event but just for nintendo it was a nintendo ran event and the funny thing is we've known that there was a playable version of luigi at space world this entire time but the problem is this is back in 1995 we didn't have smartphones or wasn't cameras everywhere and so we hadn't seen footage of luigi being playable despite the fact that we knew from reports that luigi was actually playable at the demos there for mario 64 well some footage has surfaced and look it's just a little teaser it's just luigi spinning around right coming to the ground not a big deal it kind of looks like mario's model but wearing green i get it it's not it doesn't look like it was ever fully fleshed out but it is just the physical tangible see with our own eye proof that yes luigi was at one point intended to be a playable character an optional playable character in the original mario 64 now while he was removed i don't know maybe it's just because due to ram limitations or other limitations of the system they just couldn't make him different enough in a playable form to justify having him as i said he kind of just looks like mario wearing green so there is that but hey guys i don't really know i'm just gonna kind of sit back here and let you guys chew on it it's just a very very interesting part of gaming history to resurface and also it's a bit of a lighter story to end with considering we had a couple not so great stories today mixed in to the fray but hey this is your sunday one of the final sundays of well this is your sunday december 17th enjoy watching football or whatever you're doing today i'm going to sit back and enjoy the fact that today is actually my daughter's 13th birthday so uh melody when
