We're just doing a single 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.639 issue Thunderbolts Issue one, Mark Bagley cut Buciac. It's got 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.360 a shocking twist. People in Discord are already talking about it. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.959 Read it on Marvel Unlimited, read it at your favorite 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.319 comic shop, get it from the library, enjoy. 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:19.759 Okay, let's bring in Aboo. Carmen and Aaron are super 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:25.039 producers to talk Nintendo Direct a boo, I'm gonna throw 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.759 it over to you for our tex specs and our 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:28.480 launch date. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.840 So let's start with a launch date June fifth. That's 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.880 like two months a week from when this gut announced. Wow, 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.560 way sooner than I expected. I texted the producers yesterday 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.720 and said, my money was on November no, June fifth, 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:42.560 mm hmm. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.280 I thought it was a holiday. I thought it was 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:45.600 going to be a holiday released too. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:50.360 It's switched to summer. No more browns, Yes, switch to summer. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.680 Okay, how much is it going to cost? 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.240 The boo, because it's kind of expensive. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.400 It is expensive. It's not going to be a cheap console. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.760 The console, the base console is going to cost four 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.880 hundred and fifty dollars. There's also going to be a 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.600 five hundred dollars bundle that comes with Mario cart World, 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.120 which also got announced. That's that's pre teriff price, right 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:11.919 or we taken the terriff in. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.960 I think this is pre tariffs. So this could all 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.799 change after this afternoon of Liberation Day. It is being cool. 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.399 Yeah, we call it switch to launch day. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.640 And for what it's worth, this is Nintendo's most expensive 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:31.240 launch price for a console for a new console. For context, 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.120 like the original Switch launched in twenty seventeen at three 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.600 hundred dollars, and the other popular handheld console at the moment, 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.760 the Steam Deck. You can get a two hundred fifty 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.560 six model gigabyte model for four hundred dollars, so this 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:45.760 tops both of those. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.360 Okay, so what do we get for the four hundred 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.040 and fifty dollars? What are the specs? What are they 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:51.920 promising us? 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.000 Let's run through the specs real quick. Here's what gets 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.400 bumped up from your base Nintendo Switch one console. The 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.760 Switch to has a larger green seven point nine inches. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.160 For same thickness though yeah, same thingness. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.800 Larger screen. The screen is LCD, it has HDR support, 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.919 and it can do ten eighty p up to one 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.800 hundred and twenty frames per second, which I was oppressed 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.800 to see. Yeah, there's also a new dock that comes 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.960 with a switch To. This dock has a built in 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.360 fan to help with cooling. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.200 Looks much sturdier if you think of like the original 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:31.120 Nintendo Switch doc it is thin, it's like a paper wing. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.800 And this one, Yeah, this one will have some heft 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:34.800 to it. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.080 It will probably because of the fan. Yeah, and when 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.720 this switch to is docked, it will actually be able 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:45.760 to output up to four k sixty frames per second. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.480 Oh amazing, happy to hear that. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.320 Do we believe that? Do we do? 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:51.800 We believe? I don't believe that at all. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:57.880 No, present was so laggy. 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.400 I trust that. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.080 No, But you know what, I would love to see it. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:08.600 I heavy emphasis on up to up to sixty. Yeah. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.720 The switch to also comes with two hundred and fifty 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.040 six gigabits of internal storage. That's a pretty big bump 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.599 up from the Switch one. It can also be expanded 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.840 with a micro st Express card, which is not the 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.640 same micro ESTI card that currently works in your Switch one, 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.919 so you have to get a new card. That's annoying, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:26.480 which is kind of annoying. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.440 All right, For the next part, I want to ask 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.640 everyone how you typically play switch Are you typically playing 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.960 it docked? Are you playing it handheld? Or are you 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:38.080 playing it on the table propped up on its own 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.960 with the joy cons or a pro controller while you're 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.760 playing I play it handheld. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.040 I play it handheld or attached to the TV, depending 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.200 on what game. Like if I'm playing Zelda, I play 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.120 it on the TV. If I'm playing like Good pizza, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:51.600 great pizza. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:52.480 I play it handheld. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.839 Yeah, certain games I might play on the TV, but listen, 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:01.080 you don't. Nobody engages with Nintendo because of the grass quality, 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:06.679 and putting it on my TV only underlines the gap 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:12.240 between Nintendo and other systems. I prefer to play handheld. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:13.400 Yeah. Same. 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.920 So the reason I ask is this one has two 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.280 USB seaports, one on top and one on bottom. One 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.000 of the complaints with the original switch, the USB sport 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.479 is only on the bottom, which means if you have 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.359 it sitting on the table, it can't be charging. The 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.240 nice thing now is there's a port on top and bottom, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.720 so even if you are like no one in this 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.600 group chat and you decide you want to prop the 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.720 switch up on the table, you can still be charging 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:39.240 it from the top. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.240 That is play. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.120 I do sometimes play that way if i'm playing, if 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.440 I like, take it with me somewhere, like I'm in 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.840 the advert for the original switch one which we all 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.920 ragged on, but it actually was exactly how I sometimes 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.760 play it. I will take it out like that and 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.479 play it like play Mario Call if I take it 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.839 with me somewhere. So yeah, I think that's a good 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.240 I think It's a good thing to happen. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.159 Even if you're handheld though, Like having a cable like 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.360 on the bottom is like clunky and weird, even if 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.440 you're like holding it hitd Yeah. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.040 Hate the way it has to go and it's chunky too, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:14.599 So yes, I like this. 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.039 Obviously, it does need at least one port on the 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.200 bottom because that's how it connects to the dock, so 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:20.880 that will never go away as long as we have 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.960 this basic iteration of what the switch looks like or 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.360 the switch to. But I love that there's a top 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.279 USB port now. Next up, the switch too has a 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.120 built in microphone, which we saw used in a number 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.000 of things when they presented game chat, which we will 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.599 get to in a little bit. There will also be 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.080 a new pro controller with back buttons. I think they 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.600 called it. How much this one? 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.240 Ye eighty hole dollars eight dollars. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.640 They really want us to be pro gaming on this thing, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.520 and I'm like, guys, you can't eve a Twitch stream 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.880 easily from the switch. Let's chill out on this now. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.440 Speaking of price a boot, let's talk about the games 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.240 for switch to and what their price is looking like. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:08.240 It looking like, Yeah, not confirmed yet, but rumor has 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.840 it that switch to games are going to be in 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.800 the ballpark of eighty dollars, which is ten whole dollars 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.440 than the current baseline for most modern consoles at seventy 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.800 If you look at the official Nintendo website. Insider Gaming 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:27.600 reported that, for example, there are some games listed at eighty, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.800 but also other games listed at seventy. So this seems 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.960 to be something they're kind of testing the market out with, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.080 probably gauging listener response. Here's a listener response for me. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.480 I'm the listener. I'm not fucking buying games at eighty dollars. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:46.640 Correct, it will still happen for me. I'm a cheap person, 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.040 you know. I hope that they have a hope that 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.880 they keep the digital coupon that they have now where 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.200 you can buy like pay one hundred bucks and you 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.200 can buy two things for fifty dollars digitally, because also 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.840 as well, you want me to play by a digital 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.120 game at eighty dollars? 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:01.360 Are you? 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.520 I can't let Aaron borrow it or something? 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.840 What are you ony, Aaron, by the way, getting. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.640 To borrow it? He's like, fuck you, you. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.560 Can Aaron as your family on the switch on the line, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:14.600 but it has to be family. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.840 I do like it because I do have a Switch 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.480 family account that a lot of my friends are on. Also, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.120 the thing about this that's so funny is like the 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.480 way I buy most of my games is I just 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.280 go on the Switch sale on the Digital Store, and 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.160 I find so many great games that way. That's how 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.439 I got really into Dragon Ball Fighters with a Z 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.360 Yeah and discovered that that was like the ultimate good 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.400 Buttom bashing game. It's so easy if you're a Buttom basher. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.360 And that was like, I got it for like five 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.080 bucks when the package I originally got was like ninety 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.320 dollars because it was the bundle with everything included. I'll 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.000 be waiting for the sales. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.400 Okay, but here this is the first of multiple times 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.520 when a boom and I will disagree. A boom my 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.720 reaction to you saying you're not going to spend seventy 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.120 or eighty dollars on a game? Okay? Sure, Like, what 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.640 are you gonna do play a new Zelda game. You're 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.080 gonna wait six months? Nintendo Games famous, do not go 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.839 on huge discount. You're gonna wait. The problem that here's. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.720 The thing that's seventy eighty dollars. It doesn't bother me 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:17.079 that much. Here's how Nintendo really gets you. It's when 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.680 you buy non Nintendo games that you have on other 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.040 systems because you want the You want to have them 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.840 on the switch for the convenience and the travel effect 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:33.640 like this. You don't buy the switch to play name 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:39.080 your other game and name your non stitch. You buy 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.640 it because you want Mario Car, because you want Mario World, 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.719 because you want all of those titles. You want to 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:45.840 you want to sell the games. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:46.160 Right. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.920 It's when you start going, you know what, I'm about 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:50.800 to get on a plane. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.120 I would really like to let's play again. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.839 I would really like to. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:01.920 Have Skyrim for the seventh time. That's when you really 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.240 start getting to me. It's like eighty dollars for the 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.040 first run Nintendo titles. It sucks, but. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.080 Fine, you know. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.120 Yeah, it's the fact that I am starting Valley on 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:18.679 it along with you know, nine other consoles. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.920 That it's really starts to get insane. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.160 Yeah. Well, let's talk about some of the features that's 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.120 moving on from hardware inspecs we're getting. We mentioned game 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.600 chat earlier, but I guess basically Nintendo is adding their 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.320 own version of Discord and voice chat into Bacon into 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.439 the Switch too. You do need to be a Nintendo 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.040 Online member to access this feature, although they're going to 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.600 be beta running it for like a year for free 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:47.520 to kind of get people on board. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.600 This and so game chat will allow you. They showed 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.959 it in the direct video, four people playing Mario Kart 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.600 with on the bottom of the screen all four of 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.000 their images. They're chatting with each other. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.640 Like, oh way, you have your camera power. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.760 Grind along the wall here right, and you have your 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:09.640 video image. And then later on they showed another installment 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.679 of it with Mario Party Jamboree, where the characters or 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.240 the players faces are recognized by the camera and then 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.400 sort of inserted into elements of Mario Party like in 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:22.800 small ways not. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.920 Which is also hilarious because like they used to do 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.160 that on the Wii, where it was just like your 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.679 shitty photo was like you got a Mario, you got 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.560 like a mushroom head and you're playing Mario Party. So 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.360 I kind of love how like old this is like 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.640 I do love the Nintendo. Even when they launched the Switch, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.120 we were all like, wow, this is not gonna last. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.920 It is like so far behind what everyone else is doing, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.200 but they're kind of keeping that tradition up. And you 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.559 know what, the Switch is like one of the most 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.559 successful consoles of all time, So you know what, do 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.360 something else that's ten years behind on software? Why not? 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.280 Like maybe this will introduce a whole new generation. I mean, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:59.960 I talk about this a lot on the pod, but 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.680 I do have the Nintendo Online membership. I do have 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.480 the family account, and me and my nephew play the 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:14.079 shared like online Super Nintendo and Nintendo games so much 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.400 more than anything else. Like he loves to go on 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.160 there and play Kirby's dream World or like a side 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.520 scrolling beat him up or whatever, and just like we 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.320 FaceTime each other and talk. So I would say, if 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.120 the camera works, if I want to pay fifty dollars 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.040 for a camera, which I already need to buy a 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.440 camera for podcasting, so I probably will not buy that 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.880 fifty dollars camera like I but I'm sure that that 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.640 would actually as someone who plays with a kid regularly, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.880 that would mean we wouldn't have to FaceTime. Yeah, So 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.160 I think that there is like families who are probably 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.800 immediately just gonna tap into this and not think, oh 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.000 it's you know, I could be doing this on discorder. Oh, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.839 I could be doing it somewhere else. They're gonna think, oh, 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.360 this is a way to do it with nothing else easier. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.480 Yeah, the next feature is the mouse em of the 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.080 joy Con step Carmen, you take the floor. You are 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.000 are very dismissive of this idea. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.080 I don't, I don't understand it. I think it's gonna 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.240 end up like the new IR camera because remember, you know, 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.960 the the the first Switch had the IR camera which 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.520 never really got used. And I'm just trying to think 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.160 of a practical way to implement this. So I'm either 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.600 playing the Switch on my couch, either in handheld mode 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.240 or on the TV. I'm playing in my bed before 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.280 I go to bed or when I wake up, or 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.400 I'm playing in a chair or something like that. I 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:38.520 don't always have like a table in front of me. Yeah, 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.680 so where the hell am I gonna, you know, put 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.600 the mouse down and start using that? And so I 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.920 am a little bit skeptical. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:51.200 I think it's interesting, and it's you know, as a 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.520 way to try and build some authenticity with like hardcore 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:05.960 FPS gamers for Metroid Prime and yeah whatever like whatever 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.560 kind of like multiplayer element they might be going for, 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:15.559 and certainly I think for you know, the continued access 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.440 to the Fortnite ecosystem. It's interesting, but I but I'm 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.600 very wait and see on this again. This feels like 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.280 not why you have Nintendo. If I wanted to do this, 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:26.320 I go anywhere else. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.560 And also the joy Con is like kind of skinny, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.040 so holding that in your hand like. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:35.360 Er, that's just like this is. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.800 Nintendo has been doing a lot of funny hardware announcements 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:45.360 recently Alarmed Camera. So do you think, yes, do you 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.560 think this is a way that I believe that's the 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:52.480 official name right the Nintendo, But like, do you think 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.120 this is just the way for them? Do they want 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.280 to sell like an external mouse because they want people 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.720 to get used to using it with like, oh, this 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.120 isn't actually enjoyable. It would be better if I could 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:04.080 just plug a mouse in. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:05.720 I don't know, I want to try this pro. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.160 It feels like it's some kind of hardware sale to me. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:11.960 Yeah, I could see that. I could see that they 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.120 haven't announced anything like that, yeah, because they do have 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.239 all the accessories lists to it. But I could totally 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.200 see them being like and here's the switch mouse pro. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.720 Well as as someone who had the super Nintendo Super Scope. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.600 I have to say Nintendo never misses with a gimmicky item, but. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:28.360 That is true. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.520 Yeah, we'll see. But if there was a game that 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.120 you wanted to try, look at how good this transition was. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.280 If there was a game you wanted to try someone 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.520 else had and you didn't have, like maybe this Rocket 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.520 League Roller Derby game, Nintendo is introducing. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.120 Game Shrag and Drive by the way Dragon Drive. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:53.080 Yes, game share this means if four people somehow all 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.040 have switched to but only one of them has Mario Kart, 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.800 all four of you can play as long as you're 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.440 sitting next to each other on like Local Basic. You 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.680 share a QR code or something. 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:06.680 They used to have. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.640 They used to have that on certain things on the DS, 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.200 where like you could jump into other people's games and 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.560 occasionally play, but it's never been something way you can 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.560 do this. I think this is really smart, especially with 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.440 eighty dollar games. Obviously, we're just all gonna have to 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.400 like travel to New York and play with a boo 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.720 every time he wants to play like game, that's just 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.640 gonna be us. But I think this is the biggest 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:29.640 announcement ironic. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.680 It's a huge announcement, and it's I think it's really 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.640 it's a smart strategy. I mean, it's the drug dealer strategy, right, 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.440 you give them one for free. There's no world in 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.840 which if you don't own Mario Kart and you have 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.960 a great time playing it with your friend who do 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.680 own it, that you're not gonna think. I would love 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.280 to buy Mario Kart as soon as I actually, And 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.320 so this is smart because you're basically cultivating a future 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.320 purchase of whatever game allows this. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.680 It's like the version of having a demo of the 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.880 game is just how fun. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:04.640 This is with your friend? 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:04.880 Yeah? 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:05.200 You better? 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.800 Yes, all right, speaking of we just talked about it, 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.560 let's talk about Mario Kart World. This was the open 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.359 Nintendo Direct. It is, in essence like kind of an 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.439 open world racing game. Yeah, an entire map that, like 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.919 Grand Prix, you basically drive from one end of the 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:26.359 map to the other. They showcased the Grand Prix I 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.239 think also now has twenty four total racers. There's a 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.320 new mode where you have checkpoints and if you don't 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.640 get in the top sixteen, top eight at each checkpoint, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.760 you just get knocked out. This looks very fun. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.600 This looks you can play. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:44.240 As the cow, which, yeah, I'm not going to spend 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.800 eighty dollars to play. Oh wait, you can play as 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:47.160 the cow. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.639 Yeah, you know, game share with me one time and 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.280 then I'm going to be a sucker and pay eighty 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:53.840 books for it. 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.480 Also like this, this will be the bundle that's available 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.480 on day one, which is why all bus have been 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.439 playing Mario Car eight for five years because that was 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.800 the bundle. So yeah, I mean, we're all going to 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.720 play this. It looks great. I want to know how 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.639 open world it is. I think promising something is open 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.760 world is always dangerous because then people immediately want to 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:15.040 go what. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.080 Was it that open world break in? 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.520 But looks fun. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.960 I would play, and I think this is really smart. 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:26.160 The next game they announced was Nintendo switch To Welcome Tour. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.080 This is like a user manual for your Switch Slash, 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.760 also a museum exhibit where you basically like learn about 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:34.359 the switch to. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.240 This one was wild to me, but it's not free, correct, it's. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.960 Not crazy with your four hundred and fifty dollars console. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:43.919 I am not buying that crazy. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.639 You got to buy the book separately. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.000 That's going to be very quickly and I'm going to 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.159 buy this. There's actually very little that I'm not going 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.679 to buy that announced today. 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:57.560 I am the time. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.639 I'm kind of a sucker. Yeah, I'm a sorrier. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.679 Moving on, moving on from you know, Nintendo User Manual, 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.840 we have Dragon Drive, which is the Rocket League gest 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.000 game that that we briefly mentioned. Next up, the first 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.760 like kind of big name thing they talked about after 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:16.479 Mario Kart is High Real Warriors Age of an years. Carmen, 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.680 when you and I were texting about this, you immediately 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.120 went off on this, like in a good way, not yeah, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:23.560 go ahead, Oh yeah, No. 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.800 I knew immediately, you know, when they were teasing it, 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:27.199 I was like, oh, this is a new because the 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.240 Coe techmo. I was like, oh, that's a nude Highro 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.000 Warriors game. I loved the first Highro Warriors game. I 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.680 think it was called like Age of No Yeah, I 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:40.040 think it was the Age of Calamity. Great games. It's 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.640 if you like Dynasty Warriors, you know you would love 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.680 these games. It's like a real fun, like quick hack 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.520 and slash sort of battlefield game, and with the Tiers 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.520 of the Kingdom stuff added to it, which I think 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.080 is just going to be so much fun and playing. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.520 I think you can play with some of the Zoni characters. 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.159 And there were some really interesting levels they were teasing 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.280 in that so and it comes out in winter. 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.679 Yeah, they showed fighting a lionel. They were fighting the 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.000 big frog thing. I mean, like lots of the days. Yeah. 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:17.719 Next up we have Kirby Air Riders, a sequel to 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.199 the I think it's twenty year old game Kirby Air Rider. 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:26.520 We see Kirby in the cinematic on his star and 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.359 then the star is not fast enough and it turns 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.600 into a rocket ship with you know, jets and boom. 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.720 We are in now, Carmen, you again had some information 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.919 on this. We're gonna save that for a bit in 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.480 the end when we talk about some more games. But 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.680 we will come back to Kirby Air Riders. But then 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:45.920 what next one is one that I am very excited about. 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.040 When we were briefly mentioning what games do we think 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:53.000 they're going to launch with, you know, exeld the Boom. 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.400 I am a huge Donkey Kong fan, and I said 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.360 there was going to be a Donkey Kong country game. 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.000 Well maybe not. D don't Pong love us? 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.320 So I'm very excited about this. Dun't Kong Country was 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.280 one of the like seminal games. 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.919 So the new game is called Donkey Kong Bonanza Banza. 0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.560 Get it bonanza a boo. That's ten dollars extra for 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.200 the pun in the name if you're ready. 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.320 And everyone's spelling it wrong like it's bonanza. But guys, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.200 it's a bananza like a banana. 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:25.080 Right exactly. 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:30.000 And so this game features almost a fully destructible environment. 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.160 You are digging. You are just going hulk mode as 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.879 you break up a mountain and you break up boxes, 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.680 and uh, you are instructive kind of digging. It looks 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:42.560 very interesting. There's a mix of three D and two 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:47.800 D zones. I think it looks great. Nintendo Switch one 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.560 games will be getting some upgrades, so they're a number 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.280 that they pointed out. The first one is Super Mario 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.719 Party Jamboerrie we mentioned it earlier. We also have switched 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.320 to upgrades of Breath of the Wild and Tears. So 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:06.160 the Kingdom Metroid Prime for Beyond will come out first 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:10.440 on Switch one and also have a switch to upgrade. Yeah, 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.120 and uh, I don't think anyone cares about this game, 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.840 but Pokemon legends Za. 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.600 This is like the one where all the Pokemons are pizzas. 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:25.399 Yeah, good Pia. 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.600 Exactly, Okay, can I ask you? Can I ask you 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:34.280 guys a question as a person. So this just means like, 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:38.520 if you already own Breath of the Wild, you can 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.159 put it in your switch to and it will immediately 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:43.679 be you have to buy it. 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:45.520 You have to buy an up you have to buy 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:46.320 a grade. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.919 Scandalous to me. I'm like, I'm sorry if they just 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:51.480 make it backwards compatible like. 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:55.000 Grada with no pricing announced at all. 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.840 Now it is, it is still backwards compatible. But if 0:22:57.880 --> 0:22:59.040 you want to switch to. 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:03.160 Okay have to. You can still play your old Okay on. 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.600 But if you want the addition of the game chat 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.720 and the video elements added in to Mario Party Jam three. 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:12.840 Or like the better graphics and the I. 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.840 W also hope without any announcements, and because I am 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.800 a switch online Superstan, I will hope that this is 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.280 some kind of switch Probably it goes from being eighty 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.240 dollars a year to one hundred and fifty dollars a year, 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.480 and maybe this upgrading is upscaling, is like including it 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:28.000 that way. 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.119 Yeah, it'll be smart to roll it into the membership. 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:30.920 Yeah. 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:35.960 For context, for example, like Xbox is quite lenient about 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.560 their upgrades, Like if you have an Xbox Series S 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.679 and you get an x you just get when you 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.439 buy a game, you have both versions, and. 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.200 Yeah, congratulate a budget version. It's just no good games 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.000 because it's and it takes whatever version. 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:52.080 I would argue that's false. On PlayStation, they have an 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:56.720 upgrade model basically what Nintendo is doing here, and PlayStation 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.080 upgrades from like if you have a PS four version 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.879 and you want the PS five version, usually costs like 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:06.240 ten bucks. Oh okay, we'll see how Nintendo price is it? Yeah, 0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:08.720 hopefully not more than ten dollars. 0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:11.719 Well, another thing that I'm really excited about is, uh 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:17.200 the GameCube we all guess is probably gonna happen coming 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:20.400 to Nintendo Switch online. I play those emulators a lot. 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.080 It's very smart of them to put them on there easily, 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.080 because otherwise people are just going to play them on 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:26.480 like a Raspberry Pie or whatever. 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:30.720 So yeah, I think that is cool, and I really 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:32.200 can launch titles with that too. 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:33.000 Yeah. 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:37.160 Yeah, I was happy to see Pokemon Colisseum on there. Yeah. 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.439 I like that you put We're that much closer to 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:41.920 a WE Virtual console on the switch too. I think 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:43.760 that is definitely going to happen. 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.760 Which makes me feel so old y'all to think about 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.080 I've been playing Nintendo for that long that I'm about 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.040 to get the WE virtual console on. 0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:57.800 Okay, that's quiet, Carbon both talk about you're talking about 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.920 I'm sorry I had the original. 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:05.480 Game comments like look, I must sweep baby. 0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.520 All right, Well, we're gonna throw to some of our sponsors, 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.920 and when we come back, we will be discussing the 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:14.760 third party games, and then we're going to talk about 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:17.320 what s which a Nintendo director didn't tell us. 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:33.400 M Common, We're. 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:37.720 Back, Yes, we're back, Hi hi di eva. 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.399 What the what are the third party games beget in Common? 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:48.440 Oh?

We 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.560 have Hades two and we have elden Ring Tarnish edition. 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.560 That is great ring on my switch. Can I just say, 0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:47.000 also furthering the unpopular online theory that alden Ring is 0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:54.119 a cozy game on the switch, I am very excited 0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:56.439 for all of you to play the cozy game that 0:26:56.560 --> 0:26:59.800 is elden Ring, and we will get more into some cozy. 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:05.119 Games in bed before going to sleep. Yeah, get your 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.360 heart rate above one, make a little. 0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.320 Make a little character, you know, go do some docs. 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:12.159 Go to it. 0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.120 There's a streamer who I've seen some videos of and 0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.320 she wears a heart rate monitor while she plays games. 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.320 She like, mostly does horror games, so I don't watch that. 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.880 But the other set of games she plays is from 0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:26.560 soft Games, so she'll like play Dark Souls three and 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.600 like see how her heart gets while playing the bosses 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.840 elden Ring. I've talked about it on this show many times. 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:38.119 I love it. It consumed my life. The month that 0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:39.840 came out, and then the DLC came out, and that 0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:44.439 consumed my life. Hades two, I don't want to gloss 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.920 over that. The first one was one of my favorite 0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:51.000 games ever. Maybe I loved it. It is such a 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:52.320 perfect roguelike game. 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:53.600 Aboo. 0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:56.600 I know you have played or watched Haities two. 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:58.480 I've been playing it. I've been playing a ton on 0:27:58.520 --> 0:27:59.000 steam Deck. 0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:01.040 Yeah, I have not yet have made it because I 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:02.840 don't have Steam and I don't have a Steam Deck. 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.240 Steam Deck is too expensive. I'm not willing to put 0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:07.600 up the money for that. So I can't wait to 0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:10.720 drop eighty dollars on Hades two when it comes out 0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:17.120 on this hundred dollars console. But we also got some 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:20.119 new titles, things that have not been released anywhere else, 0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:26.399 and untitled James Bond Project Double seven. 0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:30.640 Now I'm like, I'm confused, I'm interested. I'm interested. 0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.520 Obviously. If you're as old as Rosie and I, you 0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:37.479 have fond memories of Golden Eye, the original James Bond 0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:46.880 Nintendo Marriage, which was beautiful memory. Okay, moving on, my 0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.720 ears don't hear above a certain frequency that I didn't know. 0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:51.680 Aram was the same. 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:53.000 I didn't know a was old like me. 0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.720 Now I know, I see we also have this is 0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:03.080 I think enormous Hollow Nights Elks Song. Yes, actually a 0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.920 big deal is coming out on Nintendo Switch to a boo. 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:08.120 How excited are you? 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.720 I think potentially enormous If this is true, we. 0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.040 Have actually comes out. 0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:15.479 We have been promised Silk Song every year for like 0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:16.560 the past five years. 0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:21.080 I am funny, like post on Reddit about video games 0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.040 is always like, oh is this Silk Song?

I don't entirely understand what this 0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:08.280 game is about. It's kids living on an island and 0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:14.960 they're fishing and climbing and throwing to Speaking of Cozy, 0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:15.800 We've got witch. 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.280 Flies.

It's the switch and 0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:28.080 switch to. 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:28.840 It's so cute. 0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.480 Yea and twenty five.

I don't know anything about this game, 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.360 but the fact that it's Tima Gotcha is interesting, and. 0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:44.760 Also Tama Gotchi saw having a moment. I see lots 0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.640 of kids with them. Now they've rebooted. They kind of 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:50.000 tried to make them modern and you could connect it 0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.280 to your computer and your phone, but they're back to 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.920 the old school ones, so I think they like now yeah, 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.160 I think this is like a fun little experience. But 0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:01.440 the next game is the one I know being common 0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:01.840 are going. 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:08.280 To be like, we please, We're all going to be on. 0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:11.600 Game Bloodborn too. 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:15.840 Correct This cinematic started and I jokingly said Bloodborn too, 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:19.520 and then Carmen was like, is this Caslvanian? I was like, oh, 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:24.240 maybe they're like trying to do a blood Born esque Castlevan, 0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:29.760 like skinny blood in Caslvania something no, we get the 0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:36.200 quintessential from Soft voiceover something in a voice delivered like this, 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:43.640 the blood terrifying, channeling history roll away and then the 0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:48.600 hand dripping and falling, very very from Soft and we 0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:53.480 have a brand new from Soft ip from Soft Crazy 0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:58.240 from is known for Dark Souls, Dark Souls two three, Bloodborn, Secoro, 0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:02.560 Elden Ring, Armored Cores. This is a brand new property. 0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:08.000 This is you are a vampire. It looks like yes 0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:12.040 you uh there you are called. They mentioned the Carrier 0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:15.560 of Blood. There are mounts. You can transform into a dinosaur. 0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:21.920 At some point I was like, okay, frog with huge massive. 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:28.840 And the important important thing, Yeah, cozy game. It's a 0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:32.880 cozy game. A famous thing with from Soft games is 0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.760 these are solo games that you can call in other 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.040 people to help you with boss fights, or you can 0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:41.960 get invaded by other people. So they're typically considered like 0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:47.000 player verse player at times, but mostly you're fighting the enemy. 0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:51.200 This game has is on from Soft's website. Is called 0:32:51.200 --> 0:32:56.000 a PVPVE multiplayer action game in which up to eight 0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:59.480 players can fight each other and fight against enemies. So 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:03.360 eight as far as I know, in any from Soft. 0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:05.480 Out. 0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:09.520 Yeah, finally this will launch in twenty twenty six as 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:12.960 a Nintendo Switch exclusive. And let me tell you, as 0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:15.600 soon as this went up, I went onto the firm 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:20.960 Soft reddit. People were pissed that this would be an exclusive. 0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:27.480 So now a little back. Bloodborne is generally considered one 0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.720 of the greatest games ever, and especially as far as 0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:34.320 from Soft games go. It is incredible. It has horrible, 0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:40.280 scary you know, love crafty and nightmare vibes, but it 0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.680 is just an incredible game. And I say horrible because 0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:46.280 I don't like scary things. Bloodborne is incredible. The IP 0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:48.920 belongs to Sony, So as much as people want a 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:53.280 Bloodborn too, from Soft cannot make it unless Sony agrees 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:55.600 and says, yes, let's go ahead and do this. That's 0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:57.800 why there's not been a remake. There's been no sequel 0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:01.920 over the years, and nobody knows, but it is possible. 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.400 From Soft was just like, we're tired of waiting to 0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:08.680 make Bloodborne too, and Nintendo's like, come make this, come. 0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.359 Make this, you can do it. Hit do some crazy shit, 0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:16.759 can I say? Immediately, I was hooked by this aesthetic 0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:20.440 because I thought for five seconds when I was watching 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:23.000 this trailer, I thought, is this a Vampire Hunter? 0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:24.200 D Yeah? 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:28.600 It get us because like, god, right, did you see 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:29.040 the train? 0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:29.719 Yeah? 0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:33.080 That was like red and like all and I and 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.640 and so the aesthetics are like ooh, I just cannot 0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:37.040 wait to play this game. And I think you can 0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.120 make your own characters based. 0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:41.600 On I mean, if it's a from Soft game, you 0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:43.080 can sort of make your own character. 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:46.040 But this will be my first from Soft, which. 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:46.800 Is very exciting. 0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:50.560 I think. Also, I'm like, I am eager to see 0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:55.040 like how this really looks on the Switch too, because look, 0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.960 I'm I have played many games on the Switch. I 0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:00.840 was I was like playing that Terror More or Combat 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:04.080 eleven Port that was like so ugly and bad, and 0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:07.359 this looks so intricate and fun and beautiful. I hope 0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.200 the Switch too has the juice, but if not, it 0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:10.040 will still be funny. 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.880 Now, look the cinematic for this from Soft cinematics typically 0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:18.880 you know, some element of the trailer is game in 0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:23.640 game engine. It's not the most amazing looking cinematic you're 0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:26.200 ever gonna see from Soft. Games have never been like 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:30.040 this is the greatest graphical achievement. No Soft. 0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:31.839 I knew they were like, but can you turn into 0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:33.080 a vampire dinosaur? 0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:33.399 Yes? 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:34.360 Yeah, I. 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:37.160 Gotta know more about that. 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:38.759 All right. 0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.600 Well, I just got a text from a Boo and 0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.560 he was like, can we stop talking about from Soft? 0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.240 I want to spend another twenty minutes on Survival Kids. 0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:48.560 So a Boo, the floor is yours. Let's talk about 0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:50.960 Survival No, just kidding. We're gonna go to add and 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.440 we will be right back to talk about what we 0:35:53.560 --> 0:36:12.319 didn't get in Nintendo Directly and we're back. All right. 0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:15.080 Here is where we are going to point out all 0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:18.120 the things that the questions we still have because it 0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:20.919 was an hour and there was a lot they left out, 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:24.440 So Aboo, I'm going to throw to you first and foremost. Yeah, 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.880 what is your first question coming out of Nintendo Direct. 0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:29.600 Look, I'm going to continue to sound so cheap on 0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:33.280 this episode, but I'm wondering how much these upgrade packs 0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:34.280 are for the games. 0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:38.120 I think it's a reasonable question, like, especially in an 0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:41.400 inflation style time, especially the fact that we all literally, 0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:43.919 like I know, fifteen minutes away from hearing about these 0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:47.400 global tariffs or whatever. Like, I think you're asking the 0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.960 important questions, especially because even though in the back in 0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:53.040 the day when Super Nintendo was the king of the 0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:56.520 consoles and stuff, those games could be eighty ninety dollars. 0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:59.319 It was a different time. It's kind of switch has 0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.520 seemed like the more affordable option when it comes to 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:04.839 next gen consoles. So I think you're asking the right 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:08.120 questions and also questions that a lot of people who 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:10.640 are watching this thinking like how am I going to 0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.200 pay for my groceries? How am I going to buy 0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.719 my fifteen dollar eggs or whatever are going to be 0:37:14.760 --> 0:37:16.040 thinking the same thing, like. 0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:22.279 Right, what or fifteen dollars? Yea egg fifteen? I mean 0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:24.399 my other question that goes hand in hand with that 0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:26.680 is how significant are these upgrades? 0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:26.880 Right? 0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:28.680 Because it seems to vary. We got a couple of 0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:32.760 examples in the direct today. Some are just visual upgrades. 0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.600 Some have like a whole other expansion pack tacked onto 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:37.880 the switch to version that you don't get with the 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:41.960 Switch one version. Some are just like now it supports 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:45.040 HDR and so, and you can use the mouse in 0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.800 Mario Party in and out put your face off screen 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.960 with the camera, But like, is the game Mario Party 0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:52.719 any different? Like what if I don't care about my 0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:56.359 face being on the screen? So like, That's my other 0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:58.680 question that kind of goes hand in hand with how 0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:01.799 expensive are the upgrade pack? Is how significant are the 0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:05.880 visual and performance and feature upgrades from Switch one to 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:10.760 Switch too and are? And like, you know, I suppose 0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:15.359 the invisible hand of capitalism will decide like, is it 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:19.840 worth the minimal upgrades to pay X amount of price 0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:22.120 or will it be priced different per upgrade? 0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:26.120 I don't know, you know, I'm guessing if we think 0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:29.160 about like so, for example, they're doing an upgraded version 0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:31.440 of there's gonna be a switch to version of Metroid 0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:33.880 Prime four, right, and there's gonna be a Switch one 0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:36.680 version of Metroid Prime four. And my guess is that 0:38:36.719 --> 0:38:38.600 the Switch one version will sell at the you know, 0:38:38.640 --> 0:38:42.120 average sixty dollars that it sells out right now, and 0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.279 that upgraded version will be like the seventy dollars that's 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:48.799 being talked about or the eighty dollars that's being talked about. Personally, 0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:53.600 I am not really willing to pay more than ten 0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:57.400 dollars for an upgrade that is only just a graphics upscaling. 0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:00.279 I'm gonna pay maybe ten dollars for an up great 0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:02.719 if it is including like some sort of expansion, which 0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:06.520 some of the ones, Yeah, totally. Yeah, it's case by 0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:07.600 case for me for sure. 0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.759 Now, speaking of games that will be with Launch, like 0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:13.840 Survival Kids, boo, what's your next question? 0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:17.239 Okay, not to Uh, I'm really coming off as a hater. 0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:19.520 I want to preface all of this. I'll be getting 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:21.880 a switch to and I'm excited to ask. 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.239 For free to play Survival Kids by Extra Vision. 0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:30.440 But uh, let me ask a very boring like bordroom 0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:34.520 c suite, fucking corporate guy only cares about charts question. 0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:41.600 This direct ended on big announcements around Kirby Games and 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.359 Donkey Kong Games, and of course then yeah, the from 0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:45.759 software game. Yeah. 0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:49.399 So the final three things announced were those three from 0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:54.680 Soft Kirby air Riders and Donkey Kong Bonanza Bonanza, right. 0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:57.600 And you know typically with these announcements you save your 0:39:57.600 --> 0:39:59.399 big bombshells for the end. So those were our big 0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:03.160 bombshells the end. I'm kind of left with the question, 0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:09.920 does Kirby and Donkey Kong like still have the juice? Like, 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:13.360 do these franchises still have the clout to move switch 0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:16.480 to sales to get record breaking sales for this content? 0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:21.280 I will be here to say, Donkey Kong, I believe 0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:26.759 is still sells these consoles for someone like me. I 0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:30.920 got like a we whatever the Wei version was, so 0:40:31.160 --> 0:40:34.680 they had the Donkey Kong Freeze Aaron, I'm sure you 0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:37.600 yeh on that Frozen Country or whatever it was where 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:40.319 it was kind of a remarster levels. 0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:44.600 As the person. I've actually forgotten the name of it. 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:48.120 But I did also buy that for the switch, right, 0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:50.879 Like I love Donkey Kong, That to me is a 0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:54.040 perennial thing that I returned to. I think Donkey Kong 0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:57.200 is higher up on the rankings than you would expect 0:40:57.239 --> 0:41:00.520 because I do think it has an almost Mario level 0:41:00.840 --> 0:41:04.680 recognition with people who've been playing games of a certain era. Now, 0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:08.160 I will say I think I think Kirby Air Riders 0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:10.520 is one of the things that Nintendo does really well. 0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.560 I think this is more of a meme drop game 0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:15.880 because this is something that people have talked about for 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:19.239 a long time. They it's kind of like a beloved 0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:22.759 fan fave online as a weird game. It also came 0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:25.560 out the same year as another racing game when that 0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:27.640 when it was originally released, So I think this is 0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:29.960 more of a like, hey, we're listening to you like 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:32.920 Wink Wink. Like Kirby air Riders, I don't think that 0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:37.960 one is meant to push the button of like Price. 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.360 I think Kirby is more like that's a character that 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:44.160 they love that is very mean and that they want 0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:46.319 people to know. Hey, we're still making stuff. You still 0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:49.480 buy Kirby toys, You buy a Kirby t shirt and target, 0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:51.840 you have a you know, I have little Kirby earrings 0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:55.120 where Kirby's holding the knife. Not official, sorry, Nintendo. But 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:55.640 if you want to. 0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:57.399 Make some, you know, go for it. 0:41:57.600 --> 0:42:00.239 So I think that the Kirby is is less so, 0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.560 but I do I think Donkey Kong is higher than Kirby. 0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.440 I would also say, and I know you are going 0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:07.560 to power rank these. I want to say, as somebody 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.799 who knows and loves some sweet gen Z babies in 0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:13.839 my life, Pickmen is much higher than. 0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:16.520 You would expect. I know, really, dude. 0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:20.080 There is a Pickmin mobile game that is essentially like Pokemon. 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:24.080 Go Pickman Bloom and you walk and you find different 0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:27.440 pickmen you and you plant flowers. I know people who 0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:30.319 play that every single day, and it's a part of 0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.359 their that is a part of their walking routine. It's 0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:36.239 a part of their fitness routine, and they are not alone. 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:39.840 So I will say I think Pickman is Actually I 0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:41.080 would say also higher. 0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.440 Yeah, I was just surprised that they're not trying to 0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:49.960 pair a new console with one of their A List properties, right, 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:50.319 I know. 0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.120 It's that's like animal crossing Marrio, Like. 0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:55.719 I would almost wait for this console to come out 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.759 within until my next A List property was ready. 0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:01.200 Yeah, rop, I guess. 0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:05.360 It's it's why I like Switch one and uh Breadth 0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:08.479 of the Wild were the perfect pairing. Like, those two 0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:12.040 as a pair were the reason the Switch one sold. 0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:14.800 Followed that up with Mario ot to See You, follow 0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:18.760 that up with a new Smash Brothers game, New Mario Kart, 0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:23.600 Like you're like A list bangers after like banger after banger, 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:25.880 just leaning on your A List team to like carry 0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:30.640 this switch to like record breaking sales. I'm a little 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:32.399 skeptical that the Switch Too is going to be able 0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:34.840 to do that all right. On the back of Donkey Kong. 0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:37.120 Rosie hints it at this a boo, can you give 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:41.839 us your Nintendo original ips? 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:45.879 Yes? Hold on, I gotta scroll through all of your 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:48.120 highlights and comments saying, how dare you? 0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:51.000 Yeah, yeah, it's just read through a booze notes and 0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:53.000 I was just suspended at every turn. 0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:59.239 Okay, here as a casual Nintendo fan, here's where I 0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:02.759 kind of see Nintendo's like main ips power ranked basically 0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:05.560 in your A list, like I said, you have your Zelda's, 0:44:05.600 --> 0:44:08.560 your Marios, you have Pokemon of course you're dropping that 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:12.359 every year, and then you have Smash Brothers. And then 0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:17.080 I would in in the B list, I would argue 0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:19.959 something like Animal Crossing or Splatoon, like these are still 0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:23.080 moving console sales, these still have cultural. 0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:29.600 Massively popular competitive gaming, Like it's a hugely popular even 0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:32.680 if we don't see it. It's like, yeah, it's. 0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:35.279 Not so huge in the West, but like especially like 0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:37.360 in Japan's Platoon is huge. 0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:39.759 I would put Animal Crossing a little bit higher. Just 0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:42.000 I do think it's earned its way up to almost 0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:44.800 in A because like most people know who KK Slider 0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:47.839 is now, I think so far I agree with you. 0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:51.600 Yeah totally. I mean A and B is like pretty 0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:54.279 it's a slippery slope. You know, those could all move around. 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:58.080 Just to recap your eight tier is Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, 0:44:58.600 --> 0:45:02.520 Smash Brothers. That's right, the Tiers, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon. 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:05.960 And then now we're getting into the C list celebs. 0:45:06.000 --> 0:45:09.400 Here we have Kirby and Metroid, which I think were 0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:15.160 in their prime twenty years awrime and have and have 0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:18.080 like slipped off of that quite a bit, you know, 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:20.759 Like the last Kirby game that I remember loving was 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:27.480 Kirby's epic Yarn right like Pike game. I loved it. 0:45:27.800 --> 0:45:29.800 Haven't played a Kirby game since, you know, or I 0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.879 haven't felt the desire to play a more recent Kurby game. 0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:37.000 And then in D list again controversial, I suppose, but 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.840 like I'm putting Donkey Kong down there, like I forget 0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:43.360 Donkey Kong exists until he randomly shows up in someone 0:45:43.360 --> 0:45:47.560 else's property like a Mario movie. And then I guess 0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:50.520 I'm wrong about Pickman. I don't know any uh anyone 0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:53.440 that plays Pickman. And then star Fox, which I played 0:45:53.440 --> 0:45:56.760 so much on the Nintendo sixty four but has basically 0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:58.200 been a forgotten property since that. 0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:01.239 Yeah, I would, I would also like this is such 0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:03.520 a weird thing, but I will say I do know 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.800 that it's massively popular with like your kind of general 0:46:06.920 --> 0:46:09.839 gamer who just has a switch because it's affordable. And 0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:17.080 Rabbits Mario Rabbits crossover games have been like massively. 0:46:16.600 --> 0:46:19.520 The first one. The second one was not as big 0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:20.200 of a success. 0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:24.040 Yeah, so yeah, okay, So there's there's my controversial Nintendo 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:25.000 IP cheer. 0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:28.560 List for you, scandalous Donkey Donkey Kong. 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:33.080 Yeah, justice for Metroid because I think Metroid, you know, 0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.839 you're hinted at not in its prime anymore, but when 0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:39.200 it was at its prime, and Metroid prime, it was 0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:42.560 a huge game for the first person shooter genre, you know, 0:46:42.600 --> 0:46:46.040 at that time. And I think, so for me, Metroid 0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:48.640 goes up to be and then I think Donkey Kong 0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:51.600 goes up to see you know, that's what everything else. 0:46:51.960 --> 0:46:54.640 Yeah, I mean it's tough. Nintendo has a lot of 0:46:54.760 --> 0:46:57.520 great IP and so even if you are putting something 0:46:57.520 --> 0:46:59.680 in the beads here like that is still a very strong, 0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:02.640 pretty a boo. You've got animal crossing and be Tier 0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:06.480 like everyone absolutely huge huge property like there are. 0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:10.000 And it's regional too, like I think Kirby probably an 0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:12.880 a lister in Japan, you know what I mean. And 0:47:12.920 --> 0:47:15.400 I'm just facing that off of all of the Kirby 0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:16.399 shit that I saw. 0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:18.200 Yeah, I was said, I didn't get to go to 0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:21.839 the Kirby Cafe when I went on this eight years ago. 0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:24.279 Now, I will say I'm not going to give give 0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:27.440 my Power Ranked and Nintendo IP because I didn't prep it. 0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:29.560 I will say that don Key Kong would definitely be 0:47:29.800 --> 0:47:32.200 probably be tier at least for me, because I just 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:34.919 think Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country two are 0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:39.640 two of the games that I consider like quintessential video games. 0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:43.799 The music, the gameplay, the entire thing, like is what 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:46.240 I think of with video games, and that's what brought 0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:49.120 me into video gaming. So I would have it at 0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:50.800 least at a B tier, if not higher. 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.240 He's getting a comeback with this new game in my opinion, 0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:57.279 because this new game feels like an odyssey to me, 0:47:57.560 --> 0:47:59.719 like a Mario odyssey. It does, you know, I will 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:02.600 say a redesign I feel like for me, like that 0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:05.040 Deep Freeze, what Banana Freeze whatever. 0:48:04.800 --> 0:48:04.880 The. 0:48:06.800 --> 0:48:10.319 Tropical Freeze. Yes. I got kind of bored with like 0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:13.480 the side scrolling kind of platforming aspect of Donkey Kong 0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:16.000 because really Mario, it's like not that much different from 0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:21.600 Mario in my view. But this new twist on Donkey Kong. 0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:24.279 I think is it's his comeback era. I think, you know, 0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:28.200 and don't forget he has a he just got a 0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:32.480 theme park at Universal Studios Japan, probably coming to Universal 0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:35.520 Studios California too or wherever. 0:48:35.520 --> 0:48:38.040 That other one is a good thing to point out too. 0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.719 We talked about Nintendo Switch Online, where you can play 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.919 old games. People are able to go back. They're able 0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:48.640 to rediscover my favorite Donkey Kong games. They're able to 0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:53.440 play Kirby game Boy games, and they can play you know, 0:48:54.120 --> 0:48:57.880 Super Metroid two like. They are able to rediscover these games, 0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:01.080 which hopefully builds a little bit of more buzz for 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:03.840 these two launch titles. But I also just want to 0:49:03.880 --> 0:49:08.040 point out we are launching with one of Nintendo's biggest properties. 0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:09.600 We're launching with a Mario Kart. 0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:13.520 Yeah, yeah, which is their number one selling game. 0:49:13.960 --> 0:49:16.600 Yeah, we have a Mario Kart at launch. That's totally 0:49:16.680 --> 0:49:17.040 ne yah. 0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:19.440 And it's a new one. It's not just a re 0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:22.279 it's not a port, you know, which is what we 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:24.879 got with the Switch because we had Mario Kart eight 0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:27.680 already on the WIU. So I'm actually hyped for Mario 0:49:27.760 --> 0:49:28.520 Kart World. 0:49:28.680 --> 0:49:31.799 I do want to say in addition to the A 0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:35.239 list tier of Nintendo ips. For me, at least is 0:49:35.520 --> 0:49:37.799 whatever the main character of the Dusk Bloods is called, 0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:40.640 because that's just gonna That's that sells it for me. 0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:42.520 Frum Soft is going to move unit. It's at least 0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:43.320 in this household. 0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:46.920 Yeah, No, definitely Air. So before we wrap up, I 0:49:46.920 --> 0:49:49.360 think we got to talk about Smash Brothers, y'all, because 0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:52.879 that was a notable thing that was, you know, missing there. 0:49:53.239 --> 0:49:56.320 But if we noticed when we were watching the Kirby 0:49:57.480 --> 0:50:00.800 what is air Racers trailer, they made it a point 0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:04.440 at the end to be like and this game is 0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:10.080 directed by masha Heiro Soakarai, who is the developer of 0:50:10.120 --> 0:50:13.680 all of the previous games of Super Smash Brothers and 0:50:13.760 --> 0:50:16.200 also the guy who created Kirby. So he has been 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:18.719 saying for a long time, and I believe since the 0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:21.640 WEU and like the three DS versions of Smash Brothers, 0:50:21.719 --> 0:50:24.200 he's like, I'm so fucking tired of making these games, 0:50:24.800 --> 0:50:28.960 and he's dedicated to making them. He makes them really great, 0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:30.920 but he's like, I just can't do it anymore. I 0:50:30.960 --> 0:50:35.600 don't have the juice. And so he has clearly moved 0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:39.520 on to Kirby Air Racers. I don't know if that 0:50:39.560 --> 0:50:41.880 means he's going to be rushing to get back in 0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:45.839 the development studio to make another Super Smash Brothers for us. 0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:49.000 So what do you guys think? Do you think that 0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:50.760 there is going to be a future for Super Smash 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:53.880 Brothers or do you think what I what I'm what 0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:55.920 I'm envisioning for Super Smash Brothers and how I think 0:50:55.960 --> 0:50:59.120 it should be is that we just keep Ultimate and 0:50:59.160 --> 0:51:02.160 we just keep poorting and keep adding stuff to it 0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:05.200 over time. But do y'all think there's going to be 0:51:05.200 --> 0:51:07.640 a new Smash Brothers with a new developer at any time? 0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:08.520 What do you think? 0:51:09.160 --> 0:51:13.560 I personally, I think your vision is probably the most 0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:18.160 likely vision. Ultimate feels to me like the ultimate Smash 0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:21.600 brother you know, like this is Smash Brothers in its 0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:24.480 final form, you know, soccer as like this is it. 0:51:24.760 --> 0:51:27.040 I made you the game, y'all want it. It's perfect, 0:51:27.920 --> 0:51:30.640 It has every fucking character you can imagine in it, 0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:34.240 and we can continue to like, like to your point, 0:51:34.239 --> 0:51:38.160 they can always just re release it with like another 0:51:38.239 --> 0:51:42.680 stage or a missing classic stage from the previous game, 0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:46.040 bring it back and just resell it, you know. And 0:51:46.560 --> 0:51:50.240 I don't think I can't imagine what a new Smash 0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:53.320 Brothers game could do that Ultimate has not basically already 0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:54.560 achieved at this point. 0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:58.279 Right, Yeah, I kind of agree, Aaron, what about you? 0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:02.799 Yeah, I think that this basically the two kind of 0:52:02.840 --> 0:52:06.120 long standing properties that are multiplayer Mario Kart and Smash Brothers. 0:52:07.280 --> 0:52:09.799 I have a feeling they will lean on one or 0:52:09.800 --> 0:52:13.240 the other at different times. And obviously there are different 0:52:13.239 --> 0:52:16.799 audiences in the competitive scene. The Smash Brothers competitive world 0:52:16.920 --> 0:52:20.239 is much different than a Mario Kart world. Yeah, but 0:52:21.320 --> 0:52:24.400 I also know that every new iteration of Smash there 0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:26.600 are still people who love the old one and prefer 0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:27.360 the old one. 0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:29.720 Oh yeah, there are still competitions of brawl. 0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:32.600 Yeah, of course. Of course. I think that it is 0:52:34.480 --> 0:52:40.200 very easy for them to continue with the lifespan of 0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:44.240 the current one, and if something fun and exciting comes 0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:46.239 up and they have an idea for a way to 0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:49.360 make the new one even better, great, they'll start working 0:52:49.360 --> 0:52:53.080 on it. But I think I was not expecting a 0:52:53.080 --> 0:52:54.360 new Smash Brothers. 0:52:54.840 --> 0:52:56.000 Yeah. I wasn't either. 0:52:56.040 --> 0:53:00.440 Yeah. Well, when I saw Kirby, for a moment, I thought, oh, 0:53:00.520 --> 0:53:03.120 this could be new Smash Brothers. Because he likes to 0:53:03.120 --> 0:53:06.960 introduce it with Kirby because he does like that character. Yeah, 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:09.400 so I thought, ooh, could this be it? But no, 0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:12.239 I'm excited because I do think Kirby Air Racers, even 0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:14.560 though it's not like a smack, I do think. If 0:53:14.600 --> 0:53:17.000 there's anything I know about the games that this guy makes, 0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:20.719 is that it's going to have so much detail and 0:53:20.800 --> 0:53:22.719 so many little things that are added to it as 0:53:22.760 --> 0:53:25.359 like little extras, because he just loves to kind of 0:53:25.760 --> 0:53:28.000 go that and add all of those little details to 0:53:28.040 --> 0:53:29.719 the game. So yeah, it's gonna be good. 0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:33.120 Well, thank you all for joining us for our Nintendo 0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:37.600 Direct reaction.

I would 0:53:45.120 --> 0:53:47.360 have said Survival Kids, but it's not out yet, folks like, 0:53:47.400 --> 0:53:49.960 we can't do that joke yet. We'll get there.
