- Tune in every Monday for a new episode of "The Saints That Serve Podcast" -

Before Mario, Nintendo was making cards for Yakuza gambling halls. Now, it’s a global gaming icon. In this episode, we explore the company’s 135-year transformation - from quirky side hustles (like taxis and vacuums) to the breakout hit Donkey Kong and the NES revival of gaming.

We share personal stories from every console era, from midnight launches to living room battles, and how Nintendo built a community as much as a brand.

Then, we break down the Switch 2 - launching June 5 for $450. With $80–$90 games and bold promises like 4K graphics and open-world Mario Kart, is the price hike really about tariffs?

Whether you're a longtime fan or just Nintendo-curious, this episode blends nostalgia with insight.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I think that's all the announcements.
I don't think we've gotanything else coming up.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think we might have a comment.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh, we do.
Do you know where it's atYouTube?
I believe the YouTubes Mm-hmm.
Let me just pull that up.
Sorry, I was not prepared.
Was it on the live stream orwas it on something else?
Episode 30.
Episode 30?
Okay, here we go.
Episode 30.
Comment Pretty sure that Iwatched the Golden Compass as a

(04:43):
teenager.
Pretty sure that I watched theGolden Compass as a teenager.
I had no idea that the sourcematerial was based on a book
that wanted to counter the Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe by
CS Lewis.
I didn't watch Recess as a kid,but I wonder what modern day TV
shows also encourage kids tonot respect authority.
I'm assuming that's more commonthese days, and that was from

(05:06):
our very own Ashley.
Thank you, Ashley, for thatcomment.
I'm going to go ahead andthumbs up that comment.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, and to answer your question of I wonder how
many shows teach kids todisrespect their parents?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
The answer is all of them.
Yeah, I mean there's a lot ofthem that they don't even
they're not even subtle about it.
There's that, I mean there's alot of them that they don't even
um.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
They're not even subtle about it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
They.
There's that.
But then there's also theydon't even include parents, like
parents are a distant, far offthing and the kids are doing
everything in there, likeeverything is going on on the
show.
It's 100% controlled by thekids.
To kind of promote the idea ofyou don't need help from your
parents, you can do it all onyour own.
But if you do need help, youcan get it from some stranger

(05:48):
Right, who will come in yourlife or whatever.
And it's like no kids needtheir parents, right?
So that's my thoughts on it,and I think it's actually backed
up by science.
Kids need a mother and a fatherin the home From the start of
the child's life till the end,they need their parents, yeah.

(06:09):
All right, well, thank you,ashley, for that comment.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Anybody doesn't know, ashley's my wife.
Yeah, and I love her dearly.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Dearly Because she's a Woman.
Yes, all right, because she's awoman.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yes, I left her by herself to come do this and I
miss her so much.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh, my wife left me Just because she had to go to
Bible study, though She'll beback later.
Have I ever told you that joke?
No, oh, my wife left me becauseI have dependency issues.
Oh wait, she was just going toget coffee.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
She's back, never mind have you seen the uh
internet video of the kidrunning away from home and the
dad catches up to him and he'slike son, what are you doing?
You told me you didn't love me,so I'm running away from home.
Son, I just told you youcouldn't play Minecraft for an
hour.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's funny.
That's got to be staged.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
It probably is staged A lot of stuff you can't tell
now.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, that's true, because everyone's trying to
make content.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
And content, but things that are real.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
You know, that's what sells, yeah don't worry, guys,
if we ever post sketch videos,it will be very obvious that
it's a sketch mostly because, uh, it'll be poorly made.
But I disagree.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I think that we'll do a great job now I'll see, and
I'll joke on the side.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
If we ever were to release those sketches that
we've recorded, they would be ofquality for sure well, yeah,
I'm also talking about anythingthat we produce in the future,
which we're in talks about doing, so I'm not making any
commitments right now.
We're in talks about gettingsome other people to partner
with us and and get some thingsgoing for content, for For fun

(08:04):
content, christian content.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
You know, a convict in a tent, a con-tent.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
A con-tent, that's right.
A convict who owns a tent?
Yep Con-tent.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Mm-hmm, all right.
Well, and that's the kind ofsketch comedy that you can
expect from the saints thatserve.
That's right.
What are we going to call that?
The Saints that Act.
The Saints that Act, yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That sounds good to me.
No, I don't know.
No, I don't know what we'llcall it.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
It's so early stage.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's ridiculous, yeah , like I said we're just talking
about it.
I and Jer's too, but I want itto happen about it.
I and Jairus too, but I want itto happen.
But we gotta get some thingsfigured out first.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
First things first.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
we do need to launch the Saints that Play, that's
right, which, if you haven'theard about that, we're gonna be
doing that in June is whenit'll be live stream gaming with
some Christians, and so it'llbe fun.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
You know who's gonna be there, I'll be there, john
will be there, my wife will bethere playing games.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Our guest, our consistent guest, janelle, will
be there, and just anybody elsethey'll be there and we'll be
playing video games and speakingtruth and casting out demons
and all that stuff In the videogame and in real life, in real
life.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, luigi's.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Mansion.
We're going to be rebuking themdevils.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Speaking of Luigi's Mansion who made that game?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I believe that would be Nintendo.
You want to talk about that?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Hey, let's talk about it.
Hey, Towie, this is yourtransition.
We are now transitioning intothe main topic, which is
Nintendo N-T-E-N-D-O.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
So I looked it up today and Nintendo is right now
the ninth largest Japanesecompany as far as revenue goes.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
What's number one?
Toyota?
Probably a lot of stuff, andthis isn't, like me, stereotype
or anything, but probably a lotof Japanese companies that are
in the top 10 are probablycompanies that are worldwide.
I think that's a pretty safeguess.
Oh, yamaha, toyota, mitsubishi.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean Nintendo's worldwide.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Oh, I got you.
Yeah, all of them in that top10 is probably companies that
everybody's heard of becausethey're international.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
What I thought was funny is number two is
Mitsubishi Financial and then,like number 10 or 12, is
Mitsubishi the car manufacturer.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
So Mitsubishi?
I can't say it either.
Mitsubishi, so them doing otherthings besides cars makes them
more money than making cars.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, apparently Nice , and that's the thing is like.
When the names got financial init, it's like I could mean
anything, we're doing anything,so it's all a scam.
It's the yakuza that's what itis, and also yakuza, number
eight, yeah this is yakuzainternational fun fact, the guy

(11:23):
who created the company thatmade nintendo.
He got his start.
Are you going?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
to talk about this.
Yeah, I've got a whole historyof Nintendo.
His name is Fusajiro Yamaguchi.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, so you're going to talk about the cards?
Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Well, don't you have a Bibleverse to read?
I do, so I wanted to do a Bibleverse of the day, and this is
John, the gospel of John,chapter one, verses one through
three.
In the beginning was the word,and the word was with God and
the word was God.

(11:55):
He was in the beginning withGod.
All things were made throughhim and without him was not
anything made that was made.
That verse kind of stood out.
I don't know why, but the Lordhighlighted that verse to me at
the beginning of this week andupon reflection I just realized,
like because it's talking aboutChrist in that passage.

(12:17):
Jesus is the word of God and hewas there at the beginning in
creation.
He's the son of the triune, godthat we believe in.
But just that reminder of we asman.
You know, the first sin wastrying to be like God, and that
sin reoccurs throughout historyand even throughout our own

(12:38):
lives, where we try to be God inour own lives and in our own
ways.
God in our own lives and in ourown ways.
But the only one who is trulyGod is God, jesus Christ, and he

(13:00):
humbled himself from hisGodhood and came down fully man,
fully God, and paid theultimate price to atone for all
of sin, so that we who try topretend to be God could be
forgiven of that sin and comeback into communion with the
real God.
So just a good.
It was a good reminder for me,because I'm thinking about all
the different stuff that's goingon in our culture and it's like
, oh, this is the first timethis has happened.

(13:20):
It's like no, this has happenedthroughout history.
We've always mankind has alwaystried to become God.
That's what we've always triedto do.
So it was the original sin andwe just remember that it's not
new, but there is forgivenessfrom it and we need to recognize
it and repent of it.
So yeah, that was my tidbit.

(13:43):
So there you go.
A bit tid, a bit tid.
Verse of the day or week, Iguess.
Verse of the week.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Hey, it's the verse of today, but, listeners, you
need to go and find your ownverse of the day every other day
of the week and then come backnext Monday for next Monday's
verse of the day.
There you go.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
But yeah, speaking about that, I would love to hear
what y'all think of that verseand what does it mean to you,
like what stands out to youabout the first three verses of
the Gospel of John.
Let's just get some dialoguegoing in the comments.
Sounds great to me.
There we go.
All right, let's talk about theYakuza.
The Yakuza Sounds great to me.
There we go.
All right, let's talk about theYakuza.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
The Yakuza the.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yakuza pronounced Nintendo.
Yeah, yeah, same thing.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Go ahead.
So of course I come way toodetailed with my notes.
It's okay, no-transcript, it'sbecause I'm just jumping around
a little bit with the history.
Okay, because it's notes, notit's notes.
It's not very coherent, butwe're going to go at it.

(14:56):
So Nintendo was founded in 1889in Kyoto, japan, by, as we said
, fusajiro Yamamuchi.
I said it wrong before.
It's Yamukuchi Yamamuchi.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, I had a problem with that this morning, trying
to pronounce it Yamauchi,yamauchi, yamauchi.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yamauchi, yamamuchi, yamamuchi.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Let's just go by his first name, that one's easier,
fusajiro.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
The thing is, is the Japanese go by last names?
We're not trying to beoffensive, by the way, we just
do struggle.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yes, anyone who's Japanese and hates us because of
how terrible we are atpronouncing Japanese names,
we're sorry.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
So Nintendo, when they first were founded, was a
gaming company in the sense ofboard games, card games,
entertainment games, because in1889, video games were not a
thing, screens weren't around,so they made what is called
Hanafuda cards, playing cardsand essentially they're gambling

(16:07):
card games.
It's a card game to be used ingambling, but is Pitcher
American playing cards, the ideabehind that, where you can come
up with so many different typesof games with just a deck of 52
cards with numbers and you knowimage, uh, you know shapes on

(16:27):
it, hearts and all that?
Uh, hana hanafuda cards arepictures, they're just pictures
the river or the sun setting,you know that kind of thing, and
you just can make up a bunch ofdifferent games with them.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, so, um, old school playing cards japanese
playing cards or karuta, uh,anyways, yeah, I, but when I was
reading about it it was likethey gained popularity in um,
what's it did you say?
It was kyoto.
Kyoto, uh, because at that timethe Japanese government had

(17:07):
banned all forms of gambling,funny enough Except those cards.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Even today, gambling for monetary gain is illegal in
Japan.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, so the Yakuza gambling parlors would buy up
all the Hanafudauda cards fromyamaguchi.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
you can say nintendo from nintendo, and that's how
the company got its start wasfrom so sidebar gambling is a
thing in japan, right, yeah, butso they have like what's called
Poinko machines, yeah, and sothe workaround on that is that

(17:49):
you do not win money when youplay those games.
You win little metal balls,little ball bearings, that you
can then go to a store nearbyquote unquote store nearby, and
then they buy metal balls.
There you go.
I mean, that is the legalworkaround to allow people to

(18:09):
gamble in japan yeah is thatyou're playing a game that lets
you win something and thensomebody just happens nearby to
buy it, to buy it from you howlong, how much longer do you
think gambling will be illegalin our state of georgia?
Probably not too much longer.
I'm sure they're fighting it.
Um well, it really, it reallydepends.

(18:32):
You know, I I could see ithappening in the next 10 years
that we'll have a casino here ingeorgia somewhere yeah, I was
because I was thinking aboutthat.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
I was talking about the illegal gambling.
I was like, well, you know,it's illegal to gamble here in
our state.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
And what's funny is we don't have workarounds, we
don't have work.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
I mean I see different machines at random gas
stations.
I don't know what theworkaround there is.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Maybe casinos are illegal in Georgia?
No, I think, or maybe it's justillegal.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's actual gambling because there'll be game vendors
.
You know people come and set uplike casino night and stuff.
You cannot bet, like you can'tput actual money on the table,
gotcha.
Like you can buy chips but theycan't like add stuff.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
I know we're getting on a bit of a side tangent here,
but even in casinos in Vegasyou have to buy chips, right?
Or can you put money down onthe tables there?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
The one time that I played.
It was for a charity thing, andso all the money that you
turned in was a donation to thecharity.
And then the charity just saidhere you go, here's the chips to
play poker.
Yeah, so you didn't get themoney back.
There was no pot being takenhome, All the money was staying
there for the charity.

(19:51):
Sure, but you really all youdid was you bought these plastic
pieces, you bought the chips,and then you lost the chips or
you turned them in at the end ofthe night.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
But it was all for charity and fun.
It was all for charity and fun.
I wonder if that's theworkaround is oh yeah, the money
in this machine, in this gasstation is going to go to
charity.
Quote unquote.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well, because that's what the I mean, that's
essentially what the lottery is,is it's?
I mean, in a way it's kind ofgambling, but I mean no, it is
gambling.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
It is gambling, but it goes towards the school, it
goes towards school funds forGeorgia, a percentage of it, and
then the rest of the winningsgo to whoever wins right.
Correct, yeah, yeah, crazy.
Anyways back to Nintendo.
In 1933, the company becameYamaguchi Nintendo Co.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay.
So when I was looking stuff upabout this, there was debate on
why he named it Nintendo.
Do you have anything on that?
I don't, yeah.
So people were like, why didyou name it Nintendo?
Like, what does Nintendo mean?
And some of it was I think it'son here was like heaven decides

(21:04):
the fates, or whatever.
Oh, leave luck to heaven.
Leave luck to heaven Is whatsome people assumed Nintendo
meant.
But then some people said theTemple of Free Hanafuda, which I
don't know how the Japaneselanguage works.
So I don't know how you can gettwo totally different.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
There are symbols that can mean multiple things in
context.
Got it.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Okay, yeah, so that's because it would be in the
Japanese symbols.
It wouldn't actually be in theEnglish Dumb Johnny, dumb, dumb,
dumb.
Anyways, yeah, so I thoughtthat was interesting, that it's
like he named it Nintendo, butno one knows why he named it
that.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Really.
So just a made up word, just amade up word, anyways.
So we're going to jump ahead alittle bit.
In the late 60s, early 70s,they started to diversify into
multiple different otherindustries besides playing cards
.
So they had instant ricecookers, which failed.

(22:08):
They had a taxi service thatalso failed.
And they made vacuum cleaners,and apparently that did succeed.
Interesting, and they madevacuum cleaners, and apparently
that did succeed.
But they also did weird,different little toys.
They had something called theUltra Hand.
So you know those little toysthat are like little boxing
gloves.
You pull the levers and it'slike a toy spring thing that

(22:31):
comes out and you can get hitwith a boxing glove.
Well, I think, probably whatyou saw, the extent extendo arm
with a clamp and it grabbedstuff.
For you, it was that, but itwas a hand and it grabbed stuff,
okay.
So they made like that toy andthat got big and they had yeah,
that, okay, it's a little twolittle suction cups on the end.
Sorry, you guys will see apicture of it.

(22:53):
Yeah, what?
Check out the video version ofthis podcast.
And then they had somethingcalled the love tester.
So you know, like if you werein like a, like you see it in
movies and stuff in bars whereyou hold like the little, like
arcade machine hand and it'dlike test your love, like how is
your relationship with thisperson?
It was always just like arandom answer, but you put a
quarter in, you know interestingand it tell you like, oh what,

(23:17):
how strong was you in thisperson's love.
Like that yeah, okay, huh.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
So they made those for a long time, but eventually
nintendo made video games yeah,eventually they got in it
because I think wasn wasn'ttheir first thing an arcade
cabinet release, or Donkey KongIn 1973, they developed early
arcade games and electronicshooting galleries.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Shooting galleries, yeah.
So again just like an arcadegame Pew-pews, yeah, yeah, a
little pew-pews, but was DonkeyKong their first?
Game Donkey Kong arcade.
No, sorry, I apologize, thatcame out in 1981.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Okay International right.
He was the first internationalgame.
The company becameinternationally dominant in the
1980s after the arcade releaseof Donkey Kong in 1981.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
So that's what it is.
So they did make arcade gamesbefore, but after the fact they
did, when they wentinternational.
They got a huge success becauseof Donkey Kong, which that game
had Jumpman in it.
Do you know who Jumpman is?
He's Mario.
Right, yeah, Mario, that'sright Jumpman For all you

(24:37):
laymans.
In 1983, the Famicom releasedin Japan.
Do you know what the Famicom is?
No, Not even a little bit.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
No context, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
The Famicom was later released in America as the
Nintendo Entertainment System.
That is the Japanese version ofNES, and it looks completely
different.
Yeah, yeah, it looks completelydifferent.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I actually do have a Nintendo game that I wanted to,
or a Nintendo-themed game minigame that you and I were going
to play.
I was going to go down the listof all the consoles that
they've come out with and youwere going to tell me was going
to go down the list of all theconsoles that they've come out
with and you were going to tellme which one you've owned, and
we're going to see how manynintendo consoles do you want to
do this?

Speaker 1 (25:21):
yeah, you want to do it now.
Let's do it now, because afterwe talk about these, we can talk
, play the minigame, we can talkabout all the consoles in a
little more detail okay, allright, okay, so I'm just going
to go down the list as they haveit listed.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay, okay, the Color TV game.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Color TV game.
No, okay, because I have thaton here.
It says the first console, theColor TV game in 1977.
So that is a Japanese, okay, sothe.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
NES or Famicom?
Yes, okay, super NintendoEntertainment System Super.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Famicom, just go with American.
Okay, nes, super NES, the SNES,yeah, yes, yes, I had that one.
I have that one still Nintendo64.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yes.
Gamecube yes.
Panasonic Q no Okay, the Wiiyes.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Wii Family Edition.
Wait, you're going off a weirdlist.
I'm just going down the list.
Hold on, let me help you outhere.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's the revision of the Wii.
That could be horizontally, Iknow.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
So you're reading like this weird list of like
iterations, all that stuff.
Do that list.
Okay, all right, start at thetop there, all right, we went,
they do nintendo.
If we'll get into it, maybelater on, but nintendo is really
great about releasing the samething 37 000 times.
Yeah, as different iterationsat different colors or small

(26:49):
little iterations uh, justlittle, tiny little fixes and
calling it.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, this is the only, the only.
The only difference they madewith this one was the family was
the one that had to sithorizontally.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
But if it played the same games, we need to consider
it the same console.
I got you Because they do thatso much where it's like they'll
have the 3DS and then the 3DS XLand the 3D Mini, 3ds Mini or
the 2DS they all play the samegame, yeah, so they are
considered within the samefamily of the 3DS.
I got you and they did that alot.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Also, I misspoke earlier.
Number two is Sony for Japanesecompanies.
I got you, and then it'sMitsubishi Financial.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
So start over at the top of that list All right NES
yes, game Boy.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
so start over at the top of that list.
All right nes yes, game boy,yes, s nes yes.
Nintendo 64 yes.
Game boy color yes, game boyadvance yes, game cube yes,
nintendo ds yes we yes.
Nintendo 3ds yes.
Wii u yes.
Switch yes.
Wii yes.
Nintendo 3DS yes.
Wii U yes.
Switch yes.

(27:59):
Why don't you have thePanasonic Q on here?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Because that's not.
Is that not an actual?
Because it's a Panasonic systemthat was developed by Nintendo
or in conjuncture.
Oh, it's a hybrid version.
It's a hybrid thing.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Nintendo GameCube with the ability to play DVDs,
audio CD.
Yeah, so it's a hybrid version.
It's a hybrid thing, Nintendo.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
GameCube with the ability to play DVDs, audio CD.
Yeah, so it's a GameCube, I gotyou.
It's a GameCube console Again,a different iteration integrated
into something else.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I got you, so you've owned every single console that
they've come out with.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yes, At one point or another.
Yes, okay, I don't know ifanybody could tell.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Except the color TV game.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Whatever that is, I'm not sure what that is.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
The TV game series includes five different pieces
of hardware, each one with aunique game color.
Tv game system did not haveinterchangeable cartridges, so
each console could only play asingle title.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh, so those are the very first thing that came out.
Okay, so that is.
Do you remember those littlehandheld little games that only
had, like you play like a level?
That's what those are.
It was a series of those With.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
What was the big Pong ?
Yeah, it would be like Pong andTetris.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, so those aren't really game consoles, because
game consoles insinuates that ithas different games that play
on the system itself.
Otherwise, it's more of a toy.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
All right, let's look up the meaning of game console.
I don't know if anything'sgoing to actually come up.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
What is a game console?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
All right, there we go.
That's the way we'll word it.
Game console is an electronicdevice, often connected to a TV,
that allows users to play videogames using a controller.
It can be either a home consoleor a handheld console.
So you're saying that it has tobe able to play plural games?
I believe so.
Yes, so then what would thatone be?

(29:45):
The home game, the home TV?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
The color TV.
That would probably be moreconsidered a toy, because you
buy a single thing that has onesingle small experience built
into it.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
So an arcade cabinet would be a toy instead of a
console.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I hate it when you come back to a good argument.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Because that's really what it is is.
It's the first home arcadecabinet.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
So again, so it's not a video game console, it's an
arcade cabinet.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
So that's what the home TV color would be it would
be an arcade cabinet.
It would be a home arcadecabinet.
So again, so it's not a videogame console, it's an arcade
cabinet.
So that's what the home TVcolor would be it would be an
arcade cabinet.
It would be a home arcadecabinet.
Yeah, Home arcade cabinet withyour own TV.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
I don't know Everybody in the comments.
Let us know how you interpretthat, because that's really
interesting of an argument to me, because to me, a home console
is something that hasinterchangeable games, so you
want to rat her out right nowfor her bosses?
Uh, ashley's also off for theday, oh never mind.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Uh, john, just got a notification that ashley is
playing the sims 3 right now onsteam shocker you would have
been crazy, as if it popped upand she was playing something
that like which she never wouldhave played.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
She would never play on her own.
Why does this say she's playingCall of Duty?
Why is she playing?

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Call of Duty Ghost.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Why is she playing Call of Duty Black Ops 5?
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh man, that would be funny.
Why is she playing Pox Nora,Pox Nora.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
This is a video game heavy episode, yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
If you don't know what that is, it's an inside
joke between Jairus and I.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Well, it's also a real video game.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
It is a real video game Pox Nora, but it's a
reoccurring joke between the twoof us.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Because it was a game John always wanted to play
Because it was free.
It was free and I was alwayslike I don't want to play this.
This game is stupid, and you'dalways beat me at it too.
It was like a strategy game.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
There you go.
You guys heard it here first.
I've got better strategy thanyours.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
No, I just didn't like that game so I never put
time time into it.
I bet you I could beat you atit now.
Pox, nor, pox, nor.
Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Live stream you want to do a live stream of pox nor
yeah, okay so y'all look forwardto that.
I could beat you at any game ifI actually committed to it.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I didn't want to play it.
Okay, we are also like 12, sofair, okay.
So, anyways, so a handheld.
So there was a toy.
Then there's arcade cabinets,which is a an advanced toy.
It plays a single game, andthen you have a video game
console that has interchangeablegames which would be, but you

(32:24):
would agree, it's the nextgeneration, sure?
Sure it's.
It's the first step in videogaming yeah so but yes, I've
owned every video at one pointanother, every nintendo console,
except I've never owned orplayed the virtual boy, which is
not on this, but that was theirattempt in vr, but like in the

(32:45):
80s, yeah a long time ago, backwhen vr was sci-fi, it was very,
it was a huge failure.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Sci-fi-y.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
It was very it was a huge failure.
Yeah, it only had like fivegames on it and it didn't do
well.
Yeah, at all, yeah.
So what was?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
your first Nintendo console, mine, or like the first
one that we had in the house.
Yes, okay, so I've actuallynever owned one myself.
Really, the first one that wasin the house was my oldest
brother's and it was an NES, soyou know we played Super Mario
and I was in Duck Hunt.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Which, by the way, just so everybody knows, that
was my first video game consoleand first game I ever played was
that Mario Brothers Duck Hunt.
Yeah, that was my first timeever video gaming.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I think that was the first time for a lot of people
in the South.
Mm-hmm, I think that was theselling point.
Was the Duck Hunt?
As funny as that is, but yeah,so that was the first one.
And we also had the Marvel'sgame.
I can't remember what it wascalled, but basically it was
like an arcade cabinet game forthe Marvel Avengers.
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
So it was the home release of the Marvel arcade
cabinet game that they had inarcades.
Yeah so yeah, I remember thatthat game was fun.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, Captain America or Hawkeye.
And then there was one other,Maybe Spoon Wolverine.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
There was four people .
You could choose, maybe five.
If I'm not mistaken, it was now.
I'm thinking of the X-Men videogame.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, you're thinking of the X-Men video game, but
this one maybe it was the SilverSurfer, it was Captain America,
hawkeye and I think the SilverSurfer were the three you could
play and you just walk through,you're beating up minions and
stuff, anyways, so yeah, andthen there was a Mickey Mouse
game that we had that I hated,because yeah, I can't remember
what it was.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Let's be honest, until fairly more recently,
there wasn't a lot of goodDisney video games.
It was always very gimmicky, orMickey Mouse going through
somewhere, and it was just.
It just didn't feel fun.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, so through somewhere and it was just.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
It just didn't feel fun, yeah so yeah, the best one
they've got is that.
Uh, minecraft, magic kingdom,yeah, right, map, no, that's.
That's the false statement.
The best disney video game iskingdom hearts yes I will, I
guess, so I'll take your wordfor it, because I've never
played it look out in the futurefor the stream where John plays
Kingdom Hearts for the firsttime PlayStation 1, the Lion

(35:19):
King.
Playstation 1, the Lion KingFalse, that was an NES game.
Oh sorry, super Nintendo gameas well.
We played that on.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
You just said false and then said it was also on.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
No, I'm saying it wasn't on the ps1.
To my understanding, it was onthe smes in the sega genesis,
the lion king video game,because I had that on the sega
genesis okay now we gotta lookat a lot.
This is called the fact checkepisode.
I'm pretty sure we played it.
Uh, if I'm wrong, or maybe it'slike Lion King 2 or something

(35:53):
like that Lion King.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Mighty Adventure.
That's what it was calledSimba's Mighty Adventure.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Okay, so that's not the same game, but it is a Lion
King game.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
It is a Lion King game, so there you go, not the
one I was thinking of.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Oh, okay, yeah, click that picture.
Of course it doesn't come upbig.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
That's not the same game, yeah, no, and you know
what?
To be honest, it's not the samegame that I'm thinking of
either.
I guess you are right becauseit's not Search.
Lion King, and then just putSega Genesis, the Lion King.
Let's just do this video gameand see what comes up.
That's it right there, this oneyeah yeah, yeah.

(36:32):
Yeah, yeah, sega Genesis onlinegame.
There you go, people you heardit here first, so it wasn't on
the snes uh I go scroll downthis is just saying it was on
the yeah super s, yeah snes andgenesis all right, cool, I was
right.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
There you go.
Don't test me on these videogame facts.
I know things.
I don't know why I was thinking?
Because the friend that I wasplaying with, I was for certain
that he had a PlayStation thatwe were playing on, but I guess
I'm wrong.
It's weird how memories will dothat.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Like you, remember what you're playing, but you
don't remember.
I think I did get it for theGame boy, though, and we did
play on the game boy as well,but anyways.
So, yeah, so we had a nes, andthen we had game boys.
So me and my two of my brothers, we all got game boy color, and
our oldest brother, he, got aregular game boy.
And then after that and I thinkwe've talked about this, but I

(37:38):
got my first game was MonstersInc for the game boy color, and
that was my first technicalconsole, right, yeah, so that

(38:04):
was lego island video game,where you play as a pizza
delivery boy who's trying tocatch a criminal, yeah, and you
throw pizzas.
That one was pretty fun.
And then my other brother gotmario bros.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
So oh, this weird italian game.
Yeah, I was like what the heck?
Anyways, uh, ended up being thebiggest thing ever.
Yeah, ended up being massive,one of the most recognizable
characters ever.
This is an old video, but haveyou ever seen where these people
went and showed pictures tokids and asked them who this was

(38:36):
?
And it was like they'd showthem, you know, sonic the
Hedgehog, pikachu and Mario, andthey'd all be like, yeah, sonic
, pikachu, mario.
They'd call it out and thenthey'd show them a picture of
Jesus and they'd just be like Idon't know who that is, which is
incredibly sad, but it's justlike Well, in their defense.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
We don't know if that's actually what he looked
like.
So right, true, you know, uh,anyways, yeah.
And then the next one was agamecube.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
I had a brother who got a gamecube you know where
that gamecube's at now at yourhouse?
I have it.
Yeah, I have that gamecube Ibought from you, actually
playing Sims 3 on it right now.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
But yeah, the big one on that was oh, and your Game
Boy Advance.
I had for the longest time,until I gave it back to you.
I would have been my brother's.
That's not mine.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Right, I gave it back to you and I think you gave it
back to him.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we play animal crossing on the
game cube oh my gosh animalcrossing on the game cube was.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah was the best yep , and then battlefield.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
I feel like was on the game cube uh, star wars
battlefront battlefront thankyou, yeah star wars battlefront,
and I can't, I don't think we,I don't know if we had anything
else that we played on there.
So yeah, and then the we cameout and you know, like the we
was all about playing the wesports dude, everybody had a we
you're literally your grandmahad a we.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (40:01):
yeah, everybody played a we for the we sports,
and then the dance game justdance, just dance.
And then later on, rock bandcame out and we for the we.
So yeah, that's it.
Those are all the iterations.
We have not yet owned a Switch.
No, not yet.
Yeah, I've, but once again,I've.

(40:21):
The only console I've owned wasa Game Boy Color.
I've never owned any of theother ones so so.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Nintendo Entertainment Center system, the
NES you know, that was againthe first one I ever owned.
Yep Played the heck out of itall the time.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
You want to give the disclaimer for the cartridges.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
That's all you got to say.
And did it work?
Funny enough, it's been proventhat that doesn't actually do
anything.
Yeah, so if anybody who doesn'tknow to get the game to work,
you had to blow into thecartridge and then place the
game in it.
Was the common practice?
Was the common practice?
And really what you were doingwas, every time you took it out,

(41:03):
you were then creating thatcontact again to the game chip,
to the prongs.
That was reading.
Yeah, just a hard reset and iteventually just fixed it.
Yeah, but they kind of provedthat that didn't do anything.
Yeah, it was just somethingeverybody did for some reason.
Yeah, it was really funny,though they thought that they
thought that you were clearingout the dust, the dust wasn't
keeping you from playing yourgame looking back on it, like

(41:25):
that was just the thing that wedid.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Like what?
I mean?
What do kids even have now thatthey do?
They just reset the internet.
Yeah, because all games aredigital.
Now, all the games are digital.
Yeah, and you're playing onlinewith people so, yeah, nes game
boy was not.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I never owned these actually in order, except for
the nes.
For the most part, no.
Well, more recent games Isystems I owned in order.
But like I had the nes, then Igot a, I think, a Game Boy Color
, then a Nintendo 64.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Which?
What was your first Game BoyColor game?
Rats?
If anyone remembers, fromepisode what was it?
28?
I think so.
27?
Something like that, when wetalked about the Pokemons,
mm-hmm yeah.
And then I got Pokemon, andthen you got Pokemon one.
Uh, red pokemon, red people,yeah episode 28.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Funny enough, I bought an snes from somebody who
was selling it when we workedat freedom.
Really yeah, because they soldme the SNES and it didn't come
with a power plug.
So there was a local video gamestore near Freedom that I went
and drove to and had to buy abunch of supplies for the SNES.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, freedom was an electronics repair company that
both Jairus and I worked at atone point in our lives Also.
We live in America, so yeah,yeah, Technically every business
is freedom, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
So that was interesting because it was just
like I had a kick of, you know,classic game consoles.
I remember now I didn't mystepdad got it in a storage unit
.
He was buying stored deferredon storage units.
He found in one of those and hegave that to me and then I had
to buy the power plug.
That's what happened, Iremember now.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
So I got that, but maybe eight years ago, and the
SNES came out in 1991.
So I played a lot of that.
That was fun.
Yeah, nice, nintendo 64.
Got that for Christmas.
It just we're all over theboard.
You know what I mean?
It's just I have onlys in oneway or another, but just all

(43:41):
over the place.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
I remember going to a friend's house and playing a
game and it was basically likeyou're in caves fighting, just
waves and waves of orcs.
I think it was orcs or goblinsor whatever.
But it waves of orcs, I thinkit was orcs or goblins or
whatever, but it was.
It was a four person.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
That was a 64 thing, six nintendo 64 like there's a
four player games, um, but thatwas on n64, I think so.
So I had a game called gauntlet, that was that.
Did you play it at my house?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
no, I didn't play at your house, but I think it was
gauntlet, I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
So I had Gauntlet for the NES, and then you might
have been playing one that wason N64.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Nintendo 64 Gauntlet, gauntlet Legends.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
That might be, it Is that it Maybe.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Let me look at some pictures.
It's been a long time, you guys.
It's been a long time.
It's been a long time, you guys, it's been a long time.
It's been a while.
Yeah, this looks right.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Yeah, nice.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, so we played it on our N64.
It was one of those thingswhere we went over to his house.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Just to play Gauntlet .

Speaker 2 (44:50):
No, for just a general all-nighter.
They had a big screen TV and apool table in the basement and a
bunch of couches, so it waslike we could play video games,
play pool and then fall asleepwhenever.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
So yeah, anyways, I miss the 90s.
Yeah, wii.
I want to talk about the Wiifor a second.
Get on that for a second Wii.
Okay, so the Nintendo Wii wasmassive.
It was massive in a way thatpeople couldn't comprehend,
because they promoted thatsystem to be family friendly.

(45:25):
Yeah, like everything, theadvertisement, your grandma can
play the Wii.
Yeah, it also came packed in wasWii Sports?
We've talked about that.
Yeah, we brought it up just asecond ago.
Wii Sports is the highestgrossing or the highest sold
video game ever.
Didn't it come with the console?

(45:46):
Yeah, yeah, because the Wiisold so much, it is the highest
selling video game.
That's crazy.
I don't know if that that WiiSports.
Wii Sports, yes, because it wasa packing game Because of the
bowling.
The bowling, so much fun.
Tennis I think people talk moreabout tennis than bowling.
Yeah tennis was big.
Yeah, Bowling and tennis iswhat you see.
Name the other games that werein that Golf.

(46:08):
There was five total.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
So we got bowling, tennis, golf.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Yeah, there you go, boom, that's right, darius, I
know stuff, so that was my firstexperience with not how would I
put it Lack of surplus.
Lack of surplus, right?
So you go to the store andyou're like I want one Wii,

(46:37):
please, we don't have any.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Why don't you have any?
Everybody bought them all,gotcha.
I asked for a Wii for Christmasand instead of getting a Wii
for Christmas, I got cash andsaid buy it when you can get it.
And I checked I think I gotthat in December and didn't get
a week until May.

(47:02):
Wow, that was so.
They were so incredibly sparseor incredibly hard to find.
Yeah, and I remember callingGameStop every day do you have a
Wii in stock?
Do you have a Wii in stock?
Do you have a Wii in stock?
And finally they said yes.
And that was when my mom wasworking nights and I ran in
there and I'm like mom, gamestophas a Wii, can you take me

(47:24):
there?
She's like I just got home andwent to bed.
No, I'm not taking you toGameStop, it's not that mean.
But you know what I mean In myyoung mind.
I'm like I've been tryingforever, it's going to be gone.
And then I'm just like like Ikind of just defeatively walk
outside like, and about thattime that was the time when my
mom was dating her now husbandyeah, my stepdad and he happened

(47:48):
to pull up.
I'm like take me to game stop.
And went up there and got a wee.
There you go.
I started playing.
Legend of zelda, twilightprincess dude.
That game is so much fun.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.
Pretty cool, I think.
I've played that a little bit.
Yeah, it's really good.
Is it the one that you can getthe bow?
Attachment.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
No, that's Link's Crossbow Training, I believe, is
what that game's called.
Oh okay.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Never mind, then I played that.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
The one that has the crossbow?

Speaker 2 (48:19):
I don't think it was a cross.
Maybe it was a crossbow, but uhyeah yeah, I played that.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Yeah, so so much, so much fun.
So that trained me, after youknow, going months, five months
without a, this thing that Iwanted.
Trained me to always, always,grab as soon as I could like go
wait in line midnight releaseall that nonsense for a Nintendo
console.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
You remember when we worked a midnight release for
that game, that was like endedup being really dumb, the Brink
Brink.
Yeah.
Yeah, we both worked at a pizzaplace together and we got on
the shift to go hand out theslices at the midnight release
for this game and they had thegaming console like mobile thing

(49:04):
.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Yeah, they had the truck with the game in the back
and we played a little bit andit was all oh, this is great.
And then you know, because thething about gaming is what we're
about is community yeah, we'realways about that, and when
you're together all in, playingthis game is so much fun, yep.
The moment that you get a badgame home, though, yeah, you

(49:25):
realize how bad the game is.
Yeah, drink is bad.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, the selling point was it's the first game
that has parkour in it andyou're like oh nice, okay,
parkour shooter, let's do this.
Yeah, so we go and we play, andreally it wasn't even that the
game was all that good, becausewe played maybe like five
minutes while we were actuallyat the midnight release, but it
was just.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah, the environment of yeah, I mean and that's
what's missing Again thatcommunity.
We've played a lot of terriblegames, yeah, but we always had
fun because we were playing as acommunity, friends hanging out.
It was never about the game, itwas about just being together
in friendship, you know.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Yeah, what do you think was the worst game you had
the best time playing?
Brink.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Brink, I mean dude music playing, getting the back
of that trailer and you had allthese count consoles, everybody
having a great time and it wasjust like everybody out there
waiting in line.
We'll never have a midnightrelease like that again.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yeah, everything's online now.
They don't promote kind ofshowing up in person.
I will say, though, that myeyes were open to the idea of
just I don't even know what theterm would be but Red Bull
ambassadors show up to eventsand they just hand out Red Bulls
.
They were doing that there.
There was a couple ofambassadors there just walking

(50:51):
around with backpack coolers andjust handing out Red Bulls, and
I was like, oh sweet, free RedBull.
And then I realized Red Bullsells an insane amount of drinks
.
Yeah, so much so.
I mean everybody free Red Bull.
And then I realized, like, redBull sells an insane amount of
drinks, yeah, so much so.
I mean, everybody knows RedBull, and all they do is they
just show up to events and dothat, and then, obviously, you
know, they've got their funnycommercials.

(51:12):
Red Bull gives you wings, andthen they do the Red Bull sports
.
Yeah, and it's, they'reeverywhere, it's everywhere,
it's everywhere, yeah, and it's,they're, they're every, it's
everywhere, it's everywhere.
But yeah, but doing that, doingthat midnight release but that
was.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
It was pretty cool.
So when the wii u came out,yeah I'm like I've got to get it
.
You know, this next nintendoconsole, how do I get this?
You know I've got to get thisday one.
Yeah, wii u is the biggestnintendo failure.
The console was great.
The console was great, butbecause of how they advertised

(51:48):
it yeah no one knew what it was.
Oh really, yeah, everybodyassumed it was some sort of
attachment for the wii.
Yeah, so they called it the wiiu and everybody was just like,
oh, I'm not going to get thisweird controller attachment,
I'll just keep playing my Wii,not knowing it's in a completely
brand new system.
Yeah, yeah, so it was acommercial failure with great

(52:11):
games on it.
Oh really, yeah, I never playedit.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Like it took like this extrascreen and like allowed you to
play.
I remember you playing it.
I remember coming over to yourhouse and uh watching you play
but yeah, it was, you know, hadto work hard to get it, you know

(52:31):
, yeah, and it ended up being afailure and it just got burnt
out immediately.
Like, this is fun, but we areall the games.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Because it wasn't doing well, they weren't really
making that many games for it.
There you go, so we're going toget on to real quick.
The Switch, which broughtNintendo out of a hole in such
an incredible way Out of the WiiU hole.
The Wii U hole, seriously.
It was Nintendo's first hybridconsole, which means that you

(53:02):
could plug it up into the TV,play it on your TV, pick it up,
take it with you wherever you go.
Massive, massive, massivesuccess.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Yeah, oh yeah, everybody has that.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Everybody has a.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Switch.
Yeah, it's like the not to saythat, I mean it's the gamer
console, like the nostalgiagamer console and the kid
console.
Right, you know everybody, the,the only, like only people I
know of that play playstationare like college age.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, yeah, we'll say that.
You know what?
Yeah, yeah, we'll say that, butyeah, I mean massive success.
It was such a success that theytook all the few great games
that were on the Wii U andremade them for the Switch.
Yeah, yeah, so all the likeessentially just completely

(54:02):
making the Wii U obsolete injust the funniest way.
Yeah, so all the great gamesthat are on the Switch, I mean
on the Wii U are also on theSwitch.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
So don't even try and find a Wii U on the internet,
just go get a Switch, prettymuch.
Are there any other hybridconsoles out there for other
companies, or is it just the wiiswitch right now?
The um steam deck, steam deckyeah, doesn't amazon have a
gaming console?

Speaker 1 (54:31):
they probably have a quite a few.
The one that comes to mind isthe steam deck.
That's amazon.
No, I'm saying just is thereany other consoles like that?
I don't know.
Oh, only console like that Ican think of is Is the Steam
Deck?
Yeah, that was the only one Icould think of too.
Yeah, I think there arehandheld consoles like gaming,
pc consoles like that, but Idon't know if they do.

(54:53):
The hybrid can connect to yourTV or not.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Did you ever have this cable?

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
The hybrid cable for your Game Boy Advance and your.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
GameCube.
Well, did I ever have it?
No, I played it, though,because the one game that took
advantage of it was the FinalFantasy Crystal Chronicles, oh,
which I own that because you ownthat so, yeah, well, yeah, my
brother owned it.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Yeah, yeah, that game was fun, yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
So, moving on to what I feel like will be the closing
topic and also what we kind ofbeen leading up to, because this
is the whole reason I wanted tostart like have a Nintendo
episode.
Yeah, we've had a major videogame console announced that's
coming out.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Really, what is it?
The Switch 2.
Not to be mistaken with theSwitch 1.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Not to be mistaken with the Switch 1.
Well, I think that they'recalling it the Switch 2 because
they don't want to have the sameissue again that they did with
the Wii, where they called itthe Wii and then the Wii U and
no one knew what it was.
So it's like this is number two, guys, which is funny enough
the first time that they'veadded a number to their system,
or in the sense that it's asequel.

(55:59):
The Nintendo 64 was called thatbecause it was a 64-bit system.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
What is the go ahead and give me the rundown of what
makes the Switch 2 differentfrom the Switch.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Funny enough.
Forward-facing looking at itnot much Okay.
Under the hood it is closer.
It's like a Switch 1.9.
It's not quite a Switch 2 in mymind, okay.
So it has a way greaterprocessor inside of it, so the

(56:30):
games it plays has to play onthis if it's developed for that
system.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
So you know, you can't play old games, you can't
play new games on old console.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
It just will not work .

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
So the screen itself is a 1080p, which is standard HD
, yeah, where the old one was720.
If you put it on the TV, itdoes 4K gaming, which is brand
new, nice.
Okay, it has actually builtinto the controllers a mouse
like a mount sensor, so you canactually set the controller on
the table and move it like amouse.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Interesting Okay.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
The way they connect to the console is different.
Okay, instead of sliding themdown, it actually just
magnetizes into place, which issmart, which is very smart.
I think that's better than thesliding thing yeah, it really is
Okay.
I'm trying's better than theslide-in thing.
Yeah, it really is Okay.
I'm trying to think what else.
Oh, they added.
The big thing they reallypushed when they announced it
was they added one new button tothe controller that allows for

(57:30):
chat.
So the old Switch did not havechat rooms and all that stuff.
This does A microphone builtinto the system.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yeah, I guess the question is what are you most
excited for?
Mario Kart, mario.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Kart.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Are we going to get a new Super Smash game More than
likely.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah, Okay.
So magnetic attachment system,mouse-like functionality, the C
button, which is the chat button, or community, or whatever
they're calling it yeah, andgames Just games will run better
on it.
Switch is an eight-year-oldconsole.
Yeah, it came out in 2017.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yeah, it's been around a while.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
So I mean we needed an upgrade and not just a
re-release of the same consolein a different, you know, with a
new look.
They had the Switch OLED comeout and it's like oh, good
looking screen, but it didn'tchange all the insides of it
that made the games run better,it just looked more colorful.
I got you.
Okay, the screen is bigger, theconsole itself is larger, okay,

(58:33):
and um, uh oh, mario kart it'san open world game really.
Yeah, I'm excited, like I loveme some mario kart more than
anything else yeah, what do youthink that?

Speaker 2 (58:48):
what do you think drives that?
Uh, a motor.
All the big legacy games arebecoming, are becoming open
world oh zelda, breath of thewild.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Yeah, tears of the kingdom.
They took a dungeon crawlingformat and turned it into an
open world.
Oh zelda, breath of the wild.
Yeah, tears of the kingdom.
They took a dungeon crawlingformat and turned it into an
open world game.
Every single major nintendo ipis has some form of open world
to it to some degree yeah uh,the last pokemon game to come
out was open world.
Kirby was semi-open world.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Mario had an open world ish game come out I mean
even over in microsoft with halo, the most recent halo game that
came out.
That's because of zelda.
Is it zelda or zelda came outbefore halo infinite?
Yeah, but minecraft came outbefore zelda and minecraft's
technically I mean that's this.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
It is open world, but that's not the same thing,
because it's not story-driven.
It's just an open world youexplore freely.
These are story-driven openworld games.
Okay, it's not like it was thefirst to do open world gaming
either.
There's several older openworld games.
This is the first time thatreally opened the door for
Nintendo to start doing openworld games Gotcha, okay, and

(01:00:00):
really push other.
We have such a huge surplus ofopen world games now because of
the success of Tears of theKingdom Okay, sorry, breath of
the Wild.
Tears of the Kingdom is thesequel to Breath of the Wild, so
let's get into thecontroversies of this thing,
okay.
So how much do you think theSwitch 2 is going to cost?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I'm going to say $800 .
Oh you way overshot.
Oh $500.
$500.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
It's $500 if you buy the bundle that comes with Mario
Kart.
So $300.
No $450.
So it's only $50 for the bundle, the bundle, 50 more for the
bundle, yes, which let's getinto that, okay, more
controversies.
Switch to games are costing 80to 90 dollars.

(01:00:53):
Yeah, so mario, mario kart 80.
You save 30 bucks30 by buyingthe Switch 2 bundle that comes
with Mario Kart.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
I just can't believe how we've gotten to the point
where video games are $80 to $90.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
$80?
Right now this is kind of howit's built out, so things could
change.
Yeah, We'll get into that aswell.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
$80 for digital $90 for physical, I think it.
I mean, when you get the reallybig companies that produce
games, the games are soexpensive because the companies
have become so big.
Because I look at things likewhen we played Helldivers 2.
Yeah, it's a $40 game, right,it's really good, constantly

(01:01:38):
being updated, constantly beingupdated.
It plays really well.
But it's a small team or asmall company that put it
together and put it out.
So I think that's what theissue is.
Yeah, it's less about how muchit actually costs and how many
people are working on it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
It's how many?
Yeah, we got to pay thesepeople.
Yeah, so let's get into somemore pricing.
Okay, yeah, so let's get intosome more pricing.
Okay, $450, you know, $80, $90games.
Ask me when the game's comingout.
When's the game coming out?
Oh, sorry, when the system'scoming out.
When is the system coming out?
June 5th, really, yeah, twomonths from now.

(01:02:16):
What?
Ask me when you can pre-orderit.
When can you pre-order it?
Uh, it was going to be today.
Ask me what happened.
What happened?
It got delayed how long, wedon't know.
Ask me.
Ask me why.
Why did it get delayed?
Tariffs?
Well, there you go.
So here's my thing, and we'regoing to get a little political

(01:02:41):
here for a second.
Okay, they are blaming Trumpfor the delay because they're
saying that, depending on thetariffs, they might raise the
prices.
Okay, so my thing is they'reblaming Trump on these tariffs.
Yeah, which he is implementingtariffs.
They're blaming the delay.

(01:03:01):
Yesterday it went live forpre-order in the UK.
People are buying this, can buyit now, just not get it until
June.
They're blaming these tariffs,but they're saying that they
adjusted the price this $450,because of the tariffs.
Okay, but the price is acrossthe board internationally.

(01:03:23):
What the price is?
$450 across the boardinternationally.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
But they're saying that it's $450 because of United
States tariffs.
That doesn't make sense to me.
Okay, why is it that?
Okay, it's the same priceacross the board in all
countries, but because oftariffs on from the united
states on japan is 450 acrossall nations.

(01:03:55):
Yeah, that don't make sense tome.
We're gonna get into negativeson nintendo.
Nintendo is famous for chargingfor things that shouldn't be
charged for.
They have a game that isessentially the tech demo for
the game.
That should be a packed in game, essentially like we sports was

(01:04:20):
.
Yeah, should be packed into theconsole, but they're charging
it separate as a digital releasefor ten dollars, and all it is
is you walking around on top ofa week of a switch to and it
telling you about the switch tointeresting.
So it's like, why is this notjust built into the game console
to teach you about the consoleyou just bought, but you're

(01:04:42):
charging ten dollars for it.
I think that people are blamingthe tariffs.
Yeah, and really, nintendo isreally just taking advantage of
it to try to make more money.
Yeah, that's what they're doingright now and they're
businesscentered right nowinstead of consumer-minded.
Another thing the $90 gamecartridge for the physical game

(01:05:10):
cartridge is just an unlock keythat unlocks a download, that
you download the game.
It is not physically on thegame card.
Oh, we've talked about thisbefore.
It's the same way that you buya disc and it just is an unlock
code for you to be able to playyour game.
Yeah, but what happens when youhave no internet?
You can't access your gamebecause it can't verify that

(01:05:32):
that game card key is authenticor not.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
And you can't like download the game with internet
and then play it off internetright like you have to with
playstation.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
You can do that for a certain amount of time.
We're not sure how to work onthe on the switch to if it
downloads the game and then youjust have it.
Yeah, sure, but that takes upspace on your game car, I mean
on your game card, I mean onyour storage.
Okay, so there's a lot of weirdthings going on and it feels
like a lot of people are blamingother things and not really

(01:06:08):
holding Nintendo accountable toa degree Though if you go to any
game video right now forNintendo, it is attacking
Nintendo hard Essentially say,oh, this looks great, but not
$80 great.
That's all the comments.
All the comments are sayingthat.
So I think that, due to thebacklash, we might see a price
drop, but it also could go theother way, that if these tariffs

(01:06:32):
with Trump go very poorly, wemight see a price increase.
Yeah, it could go either way.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
I'm trying to look up tariff rates because I know
that's been the big argument.
Right is that America getstariffed by other countries,
right, and then we don't tariffas much, and we're just meeting
the standards.
Yeah, we're just meeting theirstandards, their standards.

(01:07:03):
So to me, if that's true whichI don't know if it is or not if
America's just meeting the samerate that Japan imposes on
America, then yeah, it's notlike the United States is trying
to bully Nintendo.
I think Nintendo is just takingadvantage of a situation.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
It's what it sounds like right now.
Because, again, how are yougoing to say that, because of
the tariffs, this is the currentprice of the console?
Yeah, but that's somethingbetween America and Japan, but
it's $450 internationally forall countries.
Now correct.
You know.
If somebody finds better datathan what I'm speaking on right

(01:07:39):
now, please correct us in thecomments.
Yeah, now correct.
You know, if somebody findsbetter data than what I'm
speaking on right now, pleasecorrect us in the comments.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
But it just seemed weird.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Well, and another thing you got to think about is
because we don't I don't evenknow the answer to this, but a
lot of us don't know what areAmerican exports and what are
Japanese exports.
Like, what is Japan importingto the United States and then
what is the United States tryingto import to Japan?

(01:08:08):
Right, you know, because youcan't really compare.
Like, obviously Toyota ispretty big, but not all of it's
coming over from Japan.
Like you know, they builtfactories in Mexico and now
they're starting to build morefactories here in the United
States because of the tariffs,which was the whole point.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Right, it wasn't really.
The tariffs are not meant toattack other countries.
It's to incentivize us as acountry to become more
self-reliant.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Yeah, so that's my thing is is like what are we
sending over to Japan?
Does Japan actually needanything from us?

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
You know yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Or do they just need money from us because they
import stuff to us?
They don't get anything from us, except money from what they
send to us.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
The other thing about tariffs is it's not really
about actually charging themtariffs.
It's something that we haveleverage with on other countries
that we're using as anegotiation tactic, I guess.
I don't know my understandingis threatening with tariffs, is
allowing talks to come to thetable, to then them negotiate

(01:09:20):
real, actual, real trade deals.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
All I know is that there's random people that are
using it to create propagandathat like it's so bad that
Trump's on his way out the door,yeah, like it's the end of his
presidency.
And then there's other peoplethat are like these are the
growing pains for the greatnessof America, and it's just like I
don't know enough about iteither way to you know, lean one

(01:09:45):
way or the other.
I do know when I, when we foundout about all the like exactly
where American taxpayer dollarswere going, that made me mad.
Yeah, with the whole USAID andDoge and all that, yeah, and all
that.
So that kind of made me mad.
And then, and then I find out,during all this whole tariff
stuff, I'm thinking like, oh,because the way it's pitched is,

(01:10:08):
america is like doesn't getcharged by all these other
countries in tariffs to importstuff to their countries, but
now we're going to startcharging them to bring stuff to
our country.
That's unfair, which, if youdon't know anything, it's like
yeah, that is kind of unfair.
Why would they allow us tofreely bring stuff in?

(01:10:28):
And then we're going to chargethem to bring stuff into our
country.
Then it turns out that like no,these other countries, they
charge us to import goods andthey're charging more than we
charge them, so that I foundthose two.
When I found that out I kind ofdidn't really care.
I was like, well, I'm notreally gonna listen to
complaints from other parts ofthe world if they're just upset

(01:10:50):
that now it's like a schoolbully getting called out.
It's like yeah like you're doingwrong and of course they're
gonna be upset.
Europe's.
Yeah, it's like you're upsetthat you were getting to import
goods to the united states forsuper cheap, meanwhile charging
more for us to import goods toyou.

(01:11:10):
That's the way I've understoodit, like from some of the
research I've done is that it'sit's an equalizer.
We're starting to kind ofequalize and if and you, like
you said, it's opening upnegotiations to change deals,
because it's kind of likeAmerica is getting the short end
of the stick Right In all theseother countries.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Not only did we send them a lot of money in this
USAID, we're also not gettingenough money back in trade.
We'll see what happens?

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
We'll see what happens.
I'm not political enough toknow the ins and outs.
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
So ask me if I'm going to buy a Switch 2.
Are you going to buy a Switch 2?

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
I'm going to try?
Are you going to make a trip toJapan?

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
I might have to live there if everything goes to crap
here, but sure.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
You can buy really cheap real estate there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Yeah seriously.
But, yeah, mario Kart, I'm thebiggest Mario Kart guy.
Yeah, there's other gamesMetroid Prime, 4.
Yeah, there's a new Donkey Konggame that's open world that
they announced.
I really want to play thatBravely.
Default is getting remade forit.

(01:12:19):
It's a Square Enix JRPG.
There's a lot of games justannounced right off the bat, so
that's a huge thing for theSwitch.
2.
When they announced all thisstuff, people were like this is
incredible.
This is amazing.
They were banger after bangerafter banger showing off what it

(01:12:46):
can do, what games are on it,the storage on it, the screen,
the 4K, the refresh rate, allthese great things.
And then the backlash hit whenthey heard about the price of
the games and the game cart andthat the game's not actually on
it and you know a tech demobeing charged for.
It's like the product itself isgreat.
The games on the product aregreat yeah, but when it comes to
money, the product itself isgreat yeah, the games on the
product are great.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
But when it comes to money, this is a little weird.
Yeah, so me personally, I'llprobably just trade in my old
Switch towards it.
Yeah, because it can playSwitch games.
Old Switch games can play onthe Switch too.
Yeah, so I'll probably justtrade in my Switch and then get
it that way, gotcha.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
But it's, you know, it's when you mean trade in.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
What do you mean?
So you take your old console toa store that they'll buy it
from you and you typically giveyou more money if you put it
towards the newest thing.
Okay, so like a GameStop?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Yeah, yeah, so A dying GameStop, so like a
GameStop.
Yeah, yeah, a dying GameStop.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
So a lot going on.
It's just more of theuncertainty of I really want to
play this game.
It's supposed to come out soonas well, but there's no way you
can buy it.
That means a lot of peoplemight be thinking the same way
and there might not be a way toplay this for a while.
The Switch 1, I think it took ayear before it was actually

(01:14:07):
readily available at all stores.
Yeah, because it took a longtime before you could see a
switch.
Just go in the store.
Okay, let me.
I just want to get this now.
Let me get this now instead ofhaving to wait.
Yeah, so I was lucky enough togo to the midnight release and
get a switch, nice, so.
So I'm going to pre-order theSwitch 2.
Okay, and you can see usplaying those games on the
Saints that Play.
That's right.

start the Saints that Play.

Mario Party or something as anopening stream so everybody can
get to know us.
