First, we're coming to 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.039 the end of the of the switch. Switch to has 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.120 been announced. We await its arrival on these shores in 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:44.199 like a month. It's like a month. Let's first talk 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:51.320 about our Switch MVP. What is the one game? And 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:56.040 then after that you're the three games after that that 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.440 are like you're all stars, but your Switch MVP the 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.640 one game on the switch that you could not live without. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.720 Let's start with Let's start with you, Carmen. What was 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.559 your Switch MVP? 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.080 Oh? 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.960 For me, it was Smash Brothers Ultimate. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.680 Wow, favorite character. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.080 I had a few man's in the game, so it 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:23.119 was either going to be zero Samas SAMs or Banetta, 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.399 which if I really wanted to piss people off, Bannetta, 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:30.720 so I really liked pissing people off. So favorite party 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.799 game was definitely a Smash Brother's Ultimate, But then I 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.840 went close. Second for me is also Animal Crossing, because 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.239 like came at the perfect time we all needed it. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.360 But that was more of just like my solo adventure. 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.079 Aaron, how about you, I think it has. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.400 To be a Breath of the Wild. For me, it 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.640 was the game that I played probably the most and 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.040 for the longest time because I loved it, but I 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.440 realized I never actually beat it, And when Pandemic happened, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.520 I went back and I just like picked up where 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.200 I was, And some of those early days of Pandemic, 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.480 I was just wandering around, and other days I was 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.799 doing the quests, and by the end, I was really 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.720 sad that I was about to beat the game, and 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.000 I understood like why I had waited so long to 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.880 do it. So I think that would be number one 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:19.079 for me. It just had a level of exploration and 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.360 it was unlike any other Zelda and yet also so familiar, 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.960 and so that would be one hundred percent my number one. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.679 I think my number two probably Hades, which just kind 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.280 of came out of nowhere. It felt like I have 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.280 since played other. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.680 Non Nintendo I think that's going to be a popular 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:36.920 non Nintendo picky. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.840 I would also say like it's it's one of the 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.560 best looking games on the Switch. 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.840 I think it kind of expanded. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.040 The idea of what a Switch game could look like 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.640 because people often think of the Triple A style not 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.640 fitting on that, but Haites with the kind of incredible 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:56.120 animation style and designs it was really quite stunning when 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.720 you saw that game and the music. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.520 The music was incredible. Yeah, absolutely incredible music, and like 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.000 obviously that always is a huge plus for me, and 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:11.400 I think my third would be Overcooked. Another title is 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.360 so stressful, but it's so stress one of my favorite 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.039 games ever to play, and a game that my wife 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.680 refuses to play with me because she quote does not 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.480 like the person I become when I play Overcooked. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.040 I think that's if you love Overcooked to always become 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.520 an evil bus yes, because you got to why aren't 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:29.919 you moving? 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:35.400 Why haven't you cooked? Let no lettus no lettus? 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.440 Overcooked is like stressful job simulator for me, and I just. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:46.320 Ca that's actually a really interesting point because definitely most. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.760 Of my favorite games on the Switch are like. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:57.599 Jobs simulates, like animal Crossing and Crossings of Capitalism, and 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.400 it is really cozy and relaxing, but you are like 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.160 constantly running errands for. 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:06.520 People, constantly the shells and seal them. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.719 You know, I love what I crashed on the island. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.119 Can you find these ten parts hidden in the sand? 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.039 Yeah, how about you find them yourself? Like, what do 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.479 you mean? You drunk duck like killer? But I do 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.800 I do love like a life sim kind of game. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.600 I would say Animal Crossing probably has to be up 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.400 there as my top one only because I did I 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.400 played it for so long during COVID, and also I 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.960 love animal crossing. I had an animal crossing new Leaf 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.520 on my DS. New Leaf was like a game changer 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.800 for me. And then this was just such a fun again, 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.719 high quality, beautiful game. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:45.400 It was lovely. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.799 We had like birthday parties for our friends during people 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.080 would like come and you decorate your island fun and 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.520 everyone would hang out like and also this was a 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.240 game that then like my sister got really into and 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.520 her kids and they were not really game players. And 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.960 then even my mom ended up getting a switch and 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.800 getting really into it and having her hilarious like own 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.240 interactions like she has the conspiracy theory wolf on her 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.440 island and she's really scared of him. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.200 She like won't kick him off because she's worried that 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.760 there will be some kind of like come. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:19.560 Up for her. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.560 So she just lives with the scary wolf on her island. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.440 But yeah, I thought it was really funny. I was. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.440 I was definitely very bad at some of the newer stuff, 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:34.719 like the lady who you know, sells the turnips and 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.440 you're supposed to like resell. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.120 Them like their stocks. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.400 I never had that, like blow your nose, babe, I 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.440 don't know what's going on with you. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.000 It was that was one of the most exciting parts 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.800 that I remember early on when that came out. Like 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.599 my wife and I would be in separate rooms and 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.359 she would call out, like one of my coworkers is 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.120 selling turnips at an incredible price today. You need to 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.120 log on, go to the island, sell all the turnips. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.680 Elijah Wood would get on like her and be like, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.440 my turn ups are this much today, Does anyone want 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.320 to come, you know, sell on my island? 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.840 Or there was some really cool stuff like a shinging 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.520 Core made their island into like a kind of a 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.840 horror island or like a meta mystery and stuff. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:17.400 I have a. 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.320 Still unfinished, a still unfinished zine that was like I 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.080 did like a murder. She wrote style episode where I 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.800 took loads of screen grabs about a murder and then I. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:28.640 Never put it together. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.880 But like, I think it really inspired a lot of 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.040 creativity in. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.120 The animal crossing community. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.240 And then it also like expanded the community so that 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.840 then you had people who I know people who still 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.600 play Happy Home Designer like the DLC. I know people 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.360 who still play Animal Crossing like pretty much every single day. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.960 And I do think that it came at a. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.840 Perfect time, and it was also very satisfying for people 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.840 who love Nintendo, because as I tried to explain to 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.240 people who just got into the game and are now like, hey, hey, 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.120 when's the next one coming out, I was like, no, 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.800 you have to sit through like twenty five Nintendo directs, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.520 and you always think the last thing will be a 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.360 new Animal Crossing, but it never is. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.640 Yeah, just look at you just look at the cadence 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.400 and it's they come out like every five years. It's 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.680 not like there's a new Animal Crossing, like oh yeah, no, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:17.240 the same thing. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.320 And we didn't get it until yeah, we didn't get 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.520 it until like five years into the life cycle of 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.040 the switch exactly. 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.080 So I think they know that that is one of 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:32.120 those games like is Elder, that is like a hugely accessible, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.520 well known game that people can also just sink hours, 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.640 like hundreds and hundreds of hours into. 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.320 And I will say, you know. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.440 Not to give a corporation credit, but I think another 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:46.280 thing that makes Animal Crossing stand out is that during COVID, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.160 like they worked super hard to do multiple DLCs that 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.720 were free and multiple updates, and it really became like 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.400 a lifeline for a lot of people during lockdown. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:58.800 And I think that. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.440 They did a really great job by they definitely put 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.120 out us. They wouldn't have put them out as quickly, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:05.839 and I think that's why after a couple of years 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.040 they were like, no more downloads, like get this open, 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.679 get this kind of expanded version of it where you 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.760 can decorate other people's houses, which is incredibly fun, and 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.880 just enjoy it because that we've given you. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.480 All of our new content. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.080 And I was like, you know what, fair You really 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.640 saved some people's lives during the pandemic. So I think 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.559 Animal Crossing is gonna go down as like a very 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:32.760 legendary game and a very interesting moment in history as well. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.920 It hit it the perfect time. I mean, it's a 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.080 horrible time, but it was the It was very needed. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:39.520 Yep, it really was. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.680 And obviously that's the game that kind of drove the 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:47.079 Switch to being such a massive system during that time too, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.800 and having that kind of resurgence in the popularity of 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:50.280 the Switch. 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.760 My MVP, it's you know, it's probably I would probably 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.640 answer the same as Aaron and say it's Breath of 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:02.280 the Wild just because of that level of true immersion 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.600 is was amazing and the fact that I could take 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.840 that anywhere it was truly it was a mind blower 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.280 for me that that game ran on that system and 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.600 that Tiers of the Kingdom runs on that system somehow. 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.680 But the probably the game. Honestly the game I play 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.240 more than any other because I can. I just pick 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.720 it up and play it and I'll play like two 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.840 races or whatever. It's Mario Kark Deluxe. 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.800 Yes, I mean what play it. 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.440 It's It's legendary and I play it all the time. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:37.800 I love every map, Like the music is incredible. The 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.640 fact that you can play head to head is so fun. Listen. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:47.480 I think that there are some issues about shells blue 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:52.360 Shell being but I think that also it's very you 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.240 can plan around it. Like if you the Blue Shell, 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.000 if you haven't seen it and you're in the last 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.480 you're heading into the last lap. Just don't be in first. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.120 I want to be as well, even if you want 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.000 to be in second or third and wait until Blue 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:06.760 Shell comes out. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.439 Even if you like I played Mario Kart a lot too, 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.640 with a lot of kids. So I am often not 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.760 this not to do with my prowess as a Mario 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.480 Kart player, but I'm often like first. But the truth 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.400 is as well, even if you get blue shelled, if 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:21.800 you're in a good lead, you're fine. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.640 Like it's like but but it is OPI. But yes, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.160 I think Mario Catt just. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.240 Me in second, just because where you want to be 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.120 anyway you want to be or third, yes, going into 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.480 the final app and then an I'm crossing this and 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:41.040 get talked about enough for the songs, Yes, the K Slider, 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.760 KK Slider absolute K Listen. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.560 I'm a KK Bubblegum superstamp, but I love. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.280 The KK Disco for me is the one. But I 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.360 also just want to shout out the tracks at Marriocart 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.840 Agent or Incredible Rainbow Road being my favorite, but like 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.240 Sunshine Airport being great, cloud Top Cruise being great, like 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.400 the songs are just Mute City being a maze, like 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:12.520 the songs are awesome and shouts totintender for that, like 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.199 that is the game that I play and play and 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.280 play and play because I can play it if I 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.480 have two minutes. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.040 Yeah, I also think that is the reason. Like they 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.719 had to do something different for. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:30.280 The Switch too with Mario Kart, because Mariocart Deluxe eight, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:35.040 you know, is essentially it's the peak version of Mario Kart, 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.840 and they made they can keep the peak if you 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.800 have the Switch online account, which I'm the family account, 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.400 which I do. Guys not want to by Nintendo. But 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.040 then they also over the last like year and a half, 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.240 put out a ton of new new maps that were 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.400 just as great as the original maps in the game, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:54.559 and I sort of. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.800 Realized, oh, there's ninety six how many Mattes. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.920 It's insane because they had it was for a new 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.840 every time, and they are so cool. There's actually a 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.600 one that's inspired by la It's a Santa Monica peer 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.240 themed kind of level, which is really fun. They have 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.679 a London level, but it's just I was like, Oh, 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.680 you could just keep doing this forever and you would 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.040 never need to make a new Mario Kart, Like it's 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:18.520 gonna be. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:19.800 Very hard to top this. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.560 So I'm interested to see what they do with Mario 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.360 Kart World because I agree Jason. Also, I can play 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.600 Mario Kart Online, so I play that with my sister's kids. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.200 A lot with my nieces and nephews wherever they are, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.520 and there's just so. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.400 Much fun to be had. Anyone can play that game. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.360 You can play a game that is completely. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.040 Non comparative and you're playing with kids and they're like, oh, 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.360 I'm eleventh, I'm winning. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:42.400 That's the highest number. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.680 Or you can play with like your four friends who 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.520 have been playing it for like fucking thirty years, different 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.520 persons in Mariocart, and you are having the most like 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.520 aggressive Mario Kart ever. Like it works on both levels, 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.559 and I'm glad you picked that when I love it. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.040 One of my most treasured men memories is playing mary 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:05.720 or Kart with three other friends on the switch with 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.120 a friend who had not played marri or Kart since 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:13.880 like super inte, like a long time, and he was like, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.120 how do you put the I call it butt piece 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.360 when you take when you take on your butt and 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.560 put it on your butt, I call it your butt piece. 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.400 It's like, how do you do the butt piece? 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.600 How do you do it? Not tell him? 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.600 You got to figure it out? Money, Sorry to. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:32.880 Go to IM. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.240 Look it up Google dot com, figure it out. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.080 Sorry, I do think Rosie, that's a really good, really 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.680 good point, Rosie, because like of like Carmen talking about 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.720 Smash Brothers, me talking about Overcooks, those are not games. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.400 If one person's really really good and one person is not, 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.320 those are not very fun. But Mario Kart you can 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.120 have fun no matter what level you are. Who it is, Yeah, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.040 you're getting lapped, you're probably who cares. Yeah, because you're 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.880 getting the ghosts, you're getting the lightning. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.560 You can discover new version. 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.480 If you're playing with people you don't really know, you 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.800 can be off like discovering new parts of the track 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.200 because there are so many secondary tracks. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.880 I'm still discovering shortcuts that I did not know existed. 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.240 In Cloud City, there's like all these like almost shit, 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.160 I didn't know you could jump off that side. So 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.480 that's another part of it. The exploration is super. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.920 Super I think as well. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:28.760 Nintendo is really great at balancing kind of nostalgia and 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:33.680 growth within themselves. So like we love Mario Kart because 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:41.720 you hear a Rainbow Road and you're like, but. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:35.880 But but. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.240 Then when you go back and play old Raymore Road, 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.360 you're like, oh, wow, this is kind of bustard, but 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.600 like at the time it was amazing. But you play 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:49.560 Nintendo Switch like Mario Kart eight Rainbow Road, and you're like, 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.800 oh my god. And what I love as well is 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.160 some of the versions that they added. Some of the 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.560 new tracks are versions of old tracks that they've remastered. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.600 And that's definitely I think that is like that. Yes, yes, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:02.120 I think the. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.720 Balance of like knowing what people love that is kind 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.320 of makes them have that nostalgic, warm feeling, but also 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.880 knowing that there's a new generation who needed to look 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.600 a certain way and appeal to them. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.280 That's a hot balance to strike. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.960 Yeah, no, go ahead, honorable mention. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.880 If we're talking about Aaron Putt in the chat no 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.040 Love for Mario Party, which I do want to say Mario, it. 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:24.400 Was a boo. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.440 He was like, what about Mario? 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.120 Sorry a boo put in the chat no love. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.560 I know we have the same opinions on on and or, 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:35.960 so you confuse us all the time. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:42.440 Apologies a boo. I did not want to besmirch your name. Like, 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.280 but no, a boot put in the chat no Love 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.280 for Mario Party. And I also want to say Mario Party, 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:55.400 great game, great soundtrack, but super Mario Odyssey. They gave 0:16:55.480 --> 0:17:01.040 Pauline that fantastic song which I guess that once a week. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.320 I would also, I will say with Mario Party, I 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.520 do love that game, but I actually think that the 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.520 versions that they I think Mario Party actually kind of 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:17.520 peaked during the WEI when it was like when you 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:22.440 had like the screen and the camera. Yeah, that kind 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.680 I think that for me was like the best version. Also, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:26.960 that was when I was hanging out with all my 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:28.760 friends and we used to just love to play that game. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.760 So it's like I definitely have those good memories. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.760 My other two are non Nintendo games, but I think 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.400 one of them is a Spirit Bearer, which I would 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.320 actually put off. I would put that higher than Animal 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.320 Crossing if I was talking about like how much I 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.879 loved it. But Animal Crossing I could play never endingly 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.200 because it is essentially a game where once, even once 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.760 you finished the game, you can still go see KK Slider, 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.840 you can still you know, build more houses, you can 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.560 start building waterfalls on your island. But Spiritfarer, I think 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.119 is one of the most beautiful games of all time. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.880 I think it's one of the rare games that actually 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.280 lives up to the kind of you know, a review 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.440 will always say this game looks like you're. 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.480 In a studio ghibli movie or an animated movie. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.920 Spirit Fair actually looks like you're in a cartoon, and 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.280 I thought it was such a good mix of the 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.640 things I love from life SIMS. But also it has 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.280 this philosophical element about like death and moving on and 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.000 there's mystery. And I cried so much playing that game, 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.080 and I go back and replay and revisit that game 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.240 a lot, and I just think it's like an astonishing 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.680 feat of game making. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.959 So that's definitely like my second MVP. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:47.080 And I think the real special mvpness of the Switch 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.600 for me and why I love it so much, why this. 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.280 Switch is my most valuable player when it comes. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.960 Is the fact that they have the the online digital 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.280 store that is not just Nintendo games. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.600 I discovered so much, so many more. 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.639 Games to then have played so many more games on 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.760 this console than like any other console. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.679 So let's talk about that favorite favorite indie non Nintendo 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:14.240 game on the Switch. I think for me, I'll go last, 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.359 but it's very it's always in a starting valley, the 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:22.280 starting valley. Correct for non starting valley, it's dead cells, 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.160 but it's always going to be starting valley. So yeah, eron, Yeah, 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:26.080 let's start with you Eron. 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.560 I think my favorite in terms of what I got 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.520 the most play out of, was this little multiplayer game 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:38.359 called Boomerang Fu, which you love. You play as like 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.520 little foods, so you're like a sushi or a can 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.520 of soda or a coffee cup, and you just throw 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.760 boomerangs around and you get all these power ups and 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.880 they bounce off the walls and they teleport, and it's 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.159 cooperative or competitive, and it is a game that, like 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.280 I have played with people, they pick it up in 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.800 two minutes and suddenly you're just like running around and 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.679 it has it has the same energy as Overcooked, but 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.399 I think is like an unsung hero, So that would 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:08.720 that would likely be my number one. I think. I mean, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:13.280 Haites kind of counts as being an indie, and you know, 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.080 I also I'm a huge fan of the Steam World series, 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.440 so I love Steam World Dig and SteamWorld Dig two, 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.280 so those would be up there for me too. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:22.360 Yeah, there's so many great ones. 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.880 So an early pick for me, I'm going to give 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.399
