Nintendo surprised with an announcement of a 60-minute Nintendo Direct that happened on Friday, and boy did they have some things to announce, including the title of the next Mario Movie being Super Mario Galaxy, a new Fire Emblem game, the release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a heck of a lot more. Sean and Marc discuss their favorite things from the Big Direct. Was it Fire? Or was it a bit of a smokescreen?

Also, Nintendo was awarded a patent in the United States for summoning a monster to battle for you and there's concern this could lead to more patenting of concepts in gaming, but will this be something Nintendo actually uses against other game developers to prevent their games from releasing?

Plus, Sean played the demo of Digimon Story: Time Stranger and beat Mafia: The Old Country, Marc is stuck on farming sims, Wolverine could release in 2026, a new report from Newzoo suggests that there's an optimal time to release from early access, and more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Ahead of a comic con over the weekend last Sartay.
That's about it?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Is that? What you saw the Black Power Ranger?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, Walter Jones original Black Power Ranger and met what
are later ones from Power Rangers SPD. He was like
the main red one. What's nice? Guys in met a
comic regartists. I like, that's like my third time seeing them.
But yeah, school, it's like a smaller convention. It's not

(04:02):
like some big thing, but yeah, I was all right.
They had a few wrestlers there, you probly would have
liked more. Jane Douglas, Oh gosh, yeah, who else? The
two other ones? Oh, Sergeant slaughter.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Sun Slaughter cool.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, and oh Rhino that was the other one.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Hey good, always see him yep doing his thing.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's cool. Yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Uh yeah. It keeps raining every weekend, so we get
limited by what we can do. We've been trying to
go to the beach for like three weeks three three
Sundays now, and every time it's like pouring rains. Like
it doesn't happen. Thankfully, they have a friend that can

(05:00):
hang out and watch the football games with me, so
watch that. Thrilling cowboys getting to have me in all
kinds of different emotional states throughout the entire thing. I
got to have some taco, so that was homemade taco,
so that was good. But yeah, let's go ahead and

(05:20):
start this thing as we usually do with our games.
They've been playing, but you've been playing over there.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I haven't played much. I played. I've been playing a
lot ever space too. It's kind of a I think
it's like two years old. I guess space flight simulator
or like sci fi shooter.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I never beat it originally, so I kind of wanted
to go back to it. It holds up pretty well.
I started making news. It's not my old save game,
but I started new because I have no idea how
to play that game anymore, so it's better to start fresh. Ah.
And I started playing another old game, Cadence of High Role.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh yeah, uh.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah. I finished you know, the WW two K twenty
five review. If I'm like, all right, what else I
got to play in this? And I just went back
to uh Smath Brother's Ultimate because I never beat like
the arcade mode, right, the adventure mode, and I'm close
to like beating it, kind of like I'm close to
beating the first boss, and then of reading and it's like, oh,
that unlocks the second map, and I was like second map,

(06:29):
Like this map is large enough. The first map is
large enough. I don't need a second one. And then
I read more and oh, once you beat the second
boss and locks the third map, I'm like, no, I
don't know. Oh I asked you wanna tell? I bought
a Super Metroid Manual. Oh okay, it was really feat

(06:51):
It was eight bucks, so I mean it normally goes
like forty. So that Facebook market place.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh yeah, I was gonna ask what made you want
to get that?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
As no? Yeah, face of marketplaces? Yeah, eight bucks. I
don't have the manual. I mean I don't have the box.
It's not like the best condition, but like it's not
falling apart or anything like, it's perfectly good. So and
I finally got the keys to my super Famicom box.
So it's open open, well, it's a little open part
of it. This is the cartridge.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's the cartridge. Wow, yeah, that's huge.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
That's like my hand. God, this is just the Donkey
Kong and Super Tetris or Tetris to Bombless one. I
mean everyone's the same size and everything. But yeah, like
that's dig.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Gosh. Wow, yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Right, that's how I know I made three of them?
Are four?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
You know, right?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
No one?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
But I wonder how much that cost is to make that?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Uh yeah, I can't imagine it because it's you know,
and I thought was a kind of empty too, like
they could put more games on it if they want
to do. They just didn't, so right, But it's crazy.
How's the uh did you mom treating you?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Uh? Let me just go ahead and batch track a
little bit just to uh because I did beat it.
It's it's funny how things work. It's tonically, it's my
fault because I should have probably been checking the site
just to see but I don't. So I don't really
go and fall one game section that much anymore, because
you know, it's only like you writing stuff and then

(08:41):
occasional review that goes up there, you know, so I'll
check out your top eights from time to time or whatnot.
So I was like, Okay, I'm the one that was
given the code. I'm not expecting somebody else to just
randomly do a review. So I'm gonna go in there.
I have half the review written on a Google doc.
I'm going to go in there to put it into

(09:03):
the CMS and then you know, fucking save it and
then write you know the rest of it. And I
look and oh, September first, somebody else had already written
a review ye four Xbox also, which is the one
that I got the code on, And I was like, well,
they gave it the same score I was gonna give it.
Other than me writing more flowery words and maybe more

(09:26):
historical aspect that I would have probably given to it,
it's not much else I can really say about it.
So it was like kind of pointless for me to
write a second review, considering there's like so many other
games we don't have reviews for, We're gonna write a
second review about Mafia they opened. But you know, but
the thing was, I like marathon that game. I played

(09:48):
it for three days straight essentially to get to the
end so I could review it. And I did enjoy
the game, Like I enjoyed the story. It was worth playing.
You know, it's it's your typical, like you know, Mafia
loyalty story and then you know, you have the twists
that happened. I don't want to spoil those people that

(10:10):
want to play that game, but you know, you have
to get revenge on someone, right. Uh. You know, I
don't want to comment on just because you know, like
you said, it's it can be pretty evident, but I
don't want to like give it away people that want
to play the game. I just don't. That wasn't the

(10:34):
biggest fan of how uh the ending section, the way
that they have the game end, that wasn't the biggest
fan of, even though yes it is one of the
more uh the more prominent things that you do throughout
the game. It's just like, you know, I get what
they're trying to do, but I think the way they

(10:56):
have you do, it kind of comes off as like, ah,
man kind of just kind of like Blackluster is just
kind of like it goes out with a whimper kind
of thing. The the part before that, like it makes
sense because of all the things that have happened going

(11:18):
up to it, but it's just kind of like, all right, whatever,
you kind of you did it in a way that
it's like, all right, I get what you're doing. But
I don't think it came off as great as they
wanted it to just for me. Maybe there's a lot
of other people that liked it, but I think a
seven is fair for that game. It's a good game,
it's not you know, I don't know if I'm gonna

(11:42):
play twenty other games that will or you know what
we do, like a top fifteen, I don't know if
I'll play fifteen other games that will go over it.
So it might still be in my top fifteen at
the end of the year. But yeah, but it's like
it's not gonna be high.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Probably. Yeah, it's more like lack of you haven't played
fifteen games more.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Rather than but still it's like not every game you
plays a seven, and there's sometimes any it could still
be a better game than some of the other games
you play, so overall, for not having played a game
like that in a long time, it was it was
well worth it, enjoyable. Interesting that I wound up liking

(12:22):
the horse riding a lot more than the actually driving
the old cars. Right, it's just kind of you got
there faster and with less of a oh god, the
car is gonna like do something weird or make a
weird turn or you know.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, playing with the old guns and stuff that was fun.
And again, like I love the setting. I've been to
Italy before, not not been to Sicily or whatever, but
I've been to Italy before and I loved you know,
have family heritage to this Italian so it was it
was interesting for me to see all that. But yeah,
I think it's a game definitely. If it goes on

(13:01):
sale and you like the other Mafia games, I think
it's well worth the pick up for sure.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, on that.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
But all right, the other game that if you don't
know me, I am, I'm an anime fan, but I
don't I'm not an article anime fan. But you know,
the one anime that I loved since I was a kid,
it's Digitimon. I liked the Pokemon anime well enough, but
it it kind of went on and on and on,

(13:27):
so it didn't it kind of lost my interests, whereas
Digimon had like a good Sorry.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
No I was gonna say it didn't like to collect
them all.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
No, it's just that that anime never ends.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's like, uh, you know it's time I did after
twenty years or twenty five years, right.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
But like Dijamon had an I mean, it had its arc, right,
and then it went on to like the next uh
you got to see uh the next version of them
and all that stuff like that intrigued me, right, Plus
I thought the story was much more interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Uh, I mean, yeah, Pokemon is so damn formulaic for
like ninety percent of the episode.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, it follows that old track of like of the
of the enemies of that time of like you know
DBZ and One Piece or whatever, where they like I
love one Piece and One Piece has wonderful storytelling. But
some of that is like you have to watch like
one hundred fricking episodes. You have to watch forty episodes
to get to the point where it's like I had
to watch forty episodes to get to the where it

(14:28):
finally hooked me right. Yeah, that are Long Park arc,
which is the one that they did in the the
live action Netflix show that hooked me right. Uh, but
it got to I had to go all the way
through there, and I had to push myself because I
had friends a lot of friends that were like, man,
way till you get to there. If that that doesn't work,

(14:49):
then okay, you can let go, but you should get
to there, because that's when it gets great.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
It's just when you're younger and your attensive span is
not as and we obviously we didn't have on demand
access to things. You had to actually watch it when
it was on after school or before school or whatever.
This run was much easier to watch because it came
on Saturday mornings right on the Fox Kids block or whatever.

(15:17):
It was easier for me to keep tracking. But anyway,
the point is they are about to come out with
one of these Digitmon story games, and the other two,
especially the first one. The second one is kind of
like almost like an in between of the first game,
but with like a different character and it's set in
the same like timeline and whatever, and there's a lot

(15:38):
of it doesn't feel like it changes too much from
the first game. Now we've gotten into a third game.
It's a different setting still in Japan, but different kind
of setting from the game, and the way that they
kind of set it up is a lot different, and

(15:59):
it feels like it feels like there's some changes from
that first game or whatnot. So it does let you
pick between a male female character and then you get
to pick between your starting So there's a demo, I
should mention, I'm using the demo that is available on Xbox,

(16:20):
PS five and PC. I don't think it's on I
don't know if it's going to be on switch or
I think it is, but I'm not sure. I'm not
sure if they're going to have a switch to version
at some point. I guess depending on sales maybe. But
you know, man, that's been a lot of ophant to this,
so definitely they're they're one you to to play this thing.

(16:44):
But the demo short doesn't take that long. I think
it was like an hour and maybe two hours. Yeah,
you get to pick between three different Pokemon or digitmunt
of start sorry, and then you quickly you know you're
not catching them, but you can scan them and if

(17:06):
you run into them enough times you can basically put
them as part of your party. And there's different ones
and then you can dig evolve them and d digit
evolve them, and uh, the attack is the attacks are
it's all. It's a turn based game. Uh, so you
know that system is very similar to the first game,

(17:29):
but and it does have the different They have the
different like vaccine, data, virus whatever they are. It's like
a triangle of Okay, this one beats the other one
beats the other one, you know, but they also have
like the elemental weaknesses and stuff like that, so it
does one on top of Pokemon that's different. And then

(17:52):
obviously the the levels of what you are. It's not
just leveling up your digimon that include that makes the
did evolving happen? You have to have like certain stats
as well. So, uh, the only thing that's if you
watch the show like me and you're trying to replicate
the evolutions of the digitalmond that happened in the show,

(18:17):
you have to like there's just like shadows of the
different ones that they can be, and you might mess
up and get the wrong one because they look very similar.
You know, Like let's see Algum in terms of the Graymond,
but there's like four different versions of Graymond, and you
might get the wrong one which changes its type and
changes everything else. So uh yeah, it's uh, it's kind

(18:43):
of a fun experience doing kind of like trial and
error there on that.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
But you know, you know how since you just started
up or mention it, you know how pokemons catchphrases, got
to catch them all. Yeah, it's really a shame that
Digimond isn't hasn't got to scan them all.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, I guess they could have used that for this, you.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Know us for Boss.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, like they usually do. It's there's a lot of
This is like a time traveling story apparently, so there's
gonna be got it going to a lot of different
places and do you get to go they they have
a second part of the demo that you get to
go through once you get to the first part that
has more of a like, oh, this is what it's

(19:30):
going to be like when they're at like level twenty
five later in the game, and at that point you're
in the digital world, and then you can you have
more options available to you and like you can go
to some of the side quests and things like that
and overall, I think if you like the other two
story games, you're really gonna like this one. I think
this is probably gonna wind up being the best of

(19:50):
the best of the bunch. The first one was really
well liked, though, I think, uh, you know, get excited
if you really like that first one, But this is
it's gonna be another really good one there. And you know,
when Digimon's history and video games always kind of been
very healthter skelter, there's been a few that have been
very well liked, and then I wasn't really till these

(20:12):
story games that you kind of had a consistency because
then when they go back to doing the old school
style of like, oh it's more of a survival game
and breeding and all that kind of stuff, they kind
oft tend to go down a bit in quality. Right, Yeah,
I'm excited for this one for sure. Yeah. And that's

(20:36):
that's pretty much it for what I've been playing. So
let's go ahead and get into the news. Let's get
into a few little news bits before we get into
the actual like talking about the direct itself.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
First of all, Nintendo was granted a patent in July
that essentially gives them the rights and this is spotted
by games Free and then later on reported by other places.
According along with Game Developer, that essentially covers them for

(21:21):
the action of summoning another character and making the battle
on the player's behalf. So it also describes certain situations
like essentially the character has to come from a ball
like Pokemon, the fact that you can control that character,

(21:46):
whether it's turn base or you know, action that you
you know, input commands essentially to make the monster appear
the character appear. So, yeah, they control these somebody if
you if you have a game where you summon monsters,
they could technically sue you for having that mechanic in

(22:12):
the game.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
They could try to. But the problem is, like this
is a pretty broad patent and it could be easily
challenged by older games.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Right exactly because you know has been around longer than Pokemon.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, I mean not even that. I mean that's technically true,
but I was thinking more like j. K. Koon, which
is like a more direct analog. I mean that came
out after Pokemon. But like, right, it's still like they
didn't sue him back then when they probably had a
better shot at this at the time, but.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
They didn't have that patent on now, right, But they
didn't really have a reason to.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
I imagine if like someone came out with another game,
I mean, aside from Powell Worlds, someone came out with
some Monster Hunter game or a monster let's say Monster
Rancher game with you know, where you keep the monsters
and balls and cooking, like intended to assume like, hey,
this has existed before this patent. Let's let's do it's

(23:08):
the patent, Like, you can't patent something that's already kind
of an established genre trope or you.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Know, yeah, it's it's interesting how they would make that work, right,
because like you could easily just you mentioned Monster Rancho.
Technically the they're not being summoned by balls, they're coming
out of discs that you were putting in the game.
So like, if it really comes down to like where
they're being someone from, what they're being someone from, and

(23:35):
not just that they exist and fight for you, because technically,
I mean we're gonna talk about that, then would Nintendo
will be able to sue Square Enix and fam Fantasy
for having some you know, like how deep does this
really go? I do see like some developers were talking

(23:56):
about and I think one of like the the one
from the the crom help that does he talks on
Twitter all the time, that did some stuff for Balder's
Gate that he's a dev of Ballerskate three y. He
was worried about that it's going to cause uh, you
know huge Now now we're all of a sudden, we're

(24:18):
not going to just have Nintendo doing this, and then
the Nemesis System patent that that other people are going
to go after patents right, that this is going to
start becoming a thing. I don't really think so. I
think this is just Nintendo doing this to help them
in their case against Bowl World. Also, Nintendo and Sonny
both own patents for a lot of things and they
don't ever invoke them in a loss. They just own

(24:41):
the patents. So it doesn't mean that it's like automatically.
This is not like a trademark thing where like, oh
they need to sue them because if not, they're going
to lose the rights of the thing. This is a well,
you own the patent. If you really feel like it
endangers your brand, then you can do it where bow
World does because technically, you know, not only do they

(25:02):
Let's be honest here the reason why they did it
with Power World because the monsters looked very much like
Pokemon and they needed to find a reason, an actually
reason to sue them.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's that's the thing. It's like Power World was a
cheap copy basically. I mean it has new mechanics.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
It has mechanics that the Pokemon ever had.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
But that's the problem. Is like always to make some
Pika you looking a rat that's also electric, It's like, yeah,
that's that's a copy. Why you just make something new?

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Not to mention, there's like designs that look even closer
the Pokemon, right, It's just like they did not help themselves.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, they should have had a better art style, you know,
art pipeline or style or whatever, and then probably most
of this wouldn't happen. And they'ven't even already changed some
of the art and stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
So I mean that's the problem when you kind of
use AI a little bit to help you out with
things like that, you know, because I mean you look
at other games like Cassette Beasts. None of those characters
look like Pokemon, right, right, but they have a lot
of the same mechanics, right, and they even have a

(26:17):
similar looking world and things like that, right, but they didn't.
They didn't outright copy the Pokemon designs, which is really
the smartest part of it is you and we we
have a there's like a game Bay color type game
that straight up rips the turn based battle look and

(26:39):
everything from it, but it's like a different kind of game,
Like it doesn't use monsters that like uses I think
there's people or something else right to do the fighting
that I that I saw in some like other showcase
or whatever not too long ago. It's like you can

(27:00):
ripped some of the constants, but they just for one
they got too popular and then using the designs just
didn't help them, right, And then I think it's also
it's like I wonder if that, uh, you know, the
the the game that's in the Nintendo direct that's spin off,

(27:20):
was that really in the pipeline much further along from
when Power World was came out? Or was that a
concept of power even though I guess you can also
call it it could be Minecraft or something else, right,
But like it's just interesting that it's like, man, Nintendo
could have done that with Pokemon a long time ago.

(27:44):
Have a survival game with Pokemon in it, and you know,
it's not till somebody else does it. Then you're like,
oh crap, we can't let this get popular because then
we have a rival and we don't need that, you know. Yeah,
mentioned they don't know. It's like the Pokemon Company is
like a part of Nintendo, but you know, Pokemon Company

(28:06):
technically is like other companies together. So it's like, you know,
they kind of have to do it because they're the
they're the game maker without the games, you don't that'll
keep it resisting.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
But you know, it's like a words of sidiary, but yeah,
like a separate entity. And it's like how does this
kind of work? But it's been working for thirty years,
so I guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
This is one of those things like I don't think
Nintendo will actually use it. I think the people being
scared is kind of like overblown, right, but it is
kind of just kind of leery that you would need
to patent this. But I'm just never, never happy with
people patting game mechanics, Like it stucks that nobody can

(28:50):
use that nemic system at all, right, you know, so
it's like, you know, it would have been nice to
to see what.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I again been like, I mean, they couldn't even get
it working right the second time, So I don't see
how well.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
But I mean one a woman, as we've talked about,
is like was not going to be the year that
to you true, but all right, I mean they got
that pattern. They also won their lawsuit with Yankey, which
this happened like close to when the Switch was going

(29:28):
to launch if you remember this at all, that Yankee
kept touting that they had an actual model of what
the switch was going to switch to was going to
look like, and they had I forgot which convention it
was that was happening at the time. Was it Pax
East or something, uh, And Nintendo kind of said, yo, hey,

(29:55):
this thing hasn't even released yet. What what do you
mean You're claiming that you have have a you know,
what the switch t is gonna look like. And then
they they had a pretty good three D print model
of what the switch to wind not looking like, uh,
which is you know, obviously a problem for Nintendo, and

(30:18):
so they sued them saying that the trademark infringement, unfair competition,
false advertising. They also cannot use uh. They they had
also used like Glitch and Glitch too is some brand
names and They also were using the gyankey direct whenever
they would actually have to announce something And sorry, this

(30:40):
was at CES. I apologize in January. And this is
one of those why I'm blamed Nintendo because Ganke's should
have known better.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Right, It's not yeah, it's not some dude, you just
made it like this is a partner of Nintendo.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Like yeah, it's like you guys were giving some kind
of information. You use that to your advantage, and you
kind of tried to get out in front of the
people that are actually making the system. It's like it's
not helping you, right, So I would say that you're
the one that's in the wrong there. And this is
one of those where it's like it's pretty I kind

(31:20):
of don't necessarily agree with them all the time going
after all these like individuals and stuff sometimes, but like
stuff like this, it's like, yeah, man, come on, this
was ridiculous, Like you knew what you were doing. You
tried to back off so they wouldn't sue you, and
then when you did, it's like, oh god, what do
we do now?

Speaker 2 (31:39):
You know?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Right, But all right, let's get to the main event here.
As you'd say, the Nintendo Direct it was sixty minutes long.
A lot of speculation about why it would be sixty minutes,
and a lot of it was the fact that this
is Mario's fortieth anniversary, and it was correct. It was

(32:01):
due to Mariw's woodieth anniversary. The main thing being that
we now know the name of the Mario Movie two.
It is going to be called the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I mean, it's a very bland title, but hopefully lets
him make the next one to be the Super Mario
sixty four movie.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, I mean, because there was a lot of rumors
going around there was going to be based on the
Super Mario World right.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Right, Yeah, Well the yogts at the end kind of
made that seem a little more.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, exactly, does that makes sense? It's the next game
in the right series, so you know, all logic kind
of pointed to all right, yeah, like why not?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Right? I don't. I just want to think this is
a great idea, Like I think the Galaxy movie should
actually be the third one, Like they should have done
a world movie and kind of had a being I
wouldn't say the exact same movie, but like a light
retreat of the first movie, you know, or you there's
more adventures of you know, Mario and Peach and Bowls

(33:12):
and all that crap, and then and the third movie
have a kind of break and then Mario realized like, wait,
we keep doing this over and over.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
You know, right, And I mean the other other thing
is also they wanted to be able to do the
remasters of Mario Galaxy, wanted to again, which they're now
throwing you Mario Galaxy for the second time.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Third Well yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
They had it in that collection.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Right, yeah, yeah, well this is this is this first
time to say there's something that ex separate or you know,
is right.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Thankfully, they are doing a digital versions of both of them,
so like me that had that All Star collection, I
can just get Mario Galaxy too. But also this one
has like you know, actual like HD remaster stuff, whereas
the other one was support.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, they're putting an a little more work into this,
Like it has like the stupid HD mouse support for
all the no one who uses it.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yeah, and they charge is seventy dollars for it, so yeah,
it's much, but yeah, it is bit much. It's like
makes me think twice, even though it is two games
that I never played, and all I ever hear is
how great they are, and then not having them off
the Wii where I don't have to use the wag

(34:36):
all controls, and.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I mean, but that other the collect the All Star
Collection was.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Like sixty yeah, but it was three games.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, that's a better that's a better deal.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Like yeah, but this is like it's gonna look a
lot better. So I don't, you know, I don't know.
I may think about it just getting Mare Galaxy two
separate and then just playing it off collection, you know.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
They also announced ay, what was it, the the the
switch to edition and Mario wonder that one kind of
makes sense. It's the most recent duty Mario. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
I think it has a DLC like more built into
it or it has like.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
You know, I wasn't a big fan of the it's
like the Super Mario party type and it was like,
I don't really care about that stuff. There is somemb
things that are like for the single player person like me,
but I'm not going crazy about it. You know. Hey,

(35:44):
if if you are, I'm happy for you. Uh, Mario
Tennis fever, so we get another Mario Tennis after aces.
It's kind of Okay, this one introduces like the fever rackets,
and you get different and colors and then different things
you get to do, and then uh, you get a

(36:08):
baby adventure mode where they all forgot how to play,
so now they turned into baby They got turned into babies,
and now they got to learn how to play again.
You got the first time we ever seen baby Wadluigi
and baby Warrior. So I guess there's that. Uh great,
I'm a Mario Tennis fan, so that might be on

(36:29):
the we have.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
We'll be happy to hear about the next announcements. When
were you announce it? Well, when we talk about in
a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, And then the Yoshi Mysterious Book thing is kind
of typical Yoshi.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
How lazy a title can that possibly be?

Speaker 1 (36:52):
You don't like it the Mysterious Book?

Speaker 2 (36:55):
No, I mean, come on, it's not. I mean it's
not well, it's some old like Nicky Mouse, you know,
mystical quest nonsense or you know, Cattle of Illusion or whatever.
But say, come on, can't you think? I mean, Yoshi
is already kind of like a dumb I wouldn't say dumb,
but like kiddie franchise or like it's geared a little

(37:17):
more towards the young adults, like young people, let's say that,
and you have like the most like generic ass title
in the world.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
You know, yeah, I like the art style a lot
brings kind of brings back the Yoshi's Island kind of
little just kind of will be interested to see what
what it is that you do because it's kind of yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Think it's that you hurl legs a ship.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's really cute. I
just mile with my trepidation always with the Yoshi games
is like, you know, my daughter's no longer little anymore.
So like I don't really know, as a person that
loves Yoshi, I don't want to get something that I
feel like I'm just kind of going through the motion

(38:09):
because it's never going to get difficult or be a
challenge at all.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, it'll be like the last level, like when she
beat the game, it'll be like one hard level at
the end, or you know, yeah, I'm like the secret ending.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
It does sound like a mechanic where you find things
in the environment and that kind of helps you like
move through and stuff like that. It seems like so yeah, yeah, yeah,
but I mean I was surprised that we did no
three D Mario, which kind of sucks because I was
just really hoping that.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
It, you know, or no Mario Minker three or bringing
back Mario thirty would have been cool or you know.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, I kind of expected a little bit more. But
I guess when you're doing a whole freaking movie, I
guess for them, that's that's a lot, right. He's having
to work on that every day, and they are doing
the the expansion of the theme they did the expression
of the theme park, and you know in Orlando as well.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
So that's not I mean, they're not making the movie.
Whatever Elimination or Sony's making the movie.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Is involved, right, Elimination is involved in and is involved,
he said.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I mean he's out there at some workstation every there,
you know, hammered out polygons, like probably every week they
the email them and go, hey, this is what you
got going on? But all right, cool, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
But he has to be kind of like everything has
to go through him kind of thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
So is this.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
I feel like I get it. If you do Mario
three D Mario, it kind of overshadows the movie probably,
So I get it. This is a great way to
kind of reintroduce sequel to the Galaxy Games.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
And yeah, I mean, what's the next morning. We we're
gonna be honesty.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
That's yeah. That's the thing is like, Okay, what is
the progression of this? Like where what does the number
three look like?

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Well? Yeah, if he runs really fast, he gets pea
speed and then you can fly higher.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah, it's like gonna be an amalgamation of various other
marios or you.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Don't want to you don't want to see where he
has to insert the tail though.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, we're gonna go back to Mario three years right.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
No, it'll be like a prequel who we jumped man instead?

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, they could do that. Yeah, I mean anything in general,
what did you think of the.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
I seem kind of boring? I guess I think they
said that is Chris Pratt back as Mario.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, all of them are back the main characters.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Okay, good. I liked the only one, I mean, Jack
Clack was good. But the one I liked a lot
was Anya Taylor Joy. So it's nice to see.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, she's really good at speech. So yeah, yeah, I
mean for me, I feel like even though that Mario
stuff was kind of like lackluster obviously getting the you
get the compass having a remake is gonna finally show

(41:29):
up on both switched to and uh Xbox January twenty second,
So I mean, Spurre seems to like that early January
window for releasing.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Actually, the one thing I could see which would be
cool for Mario when they make a Mario movie three
is Mario RPG.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Yeah, that'd be awesome if they did that.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
I think you can have you know, Mario, Peach and
Bowser teaming up together against.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
And Yeah, you could do that. I mean, is that
when they finally do the Smash Brothers.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
That route and then you get Keanu Reeves's Maloup.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
There you yeah, I you know, I h and also screens.
They are really doing the Dragon Quests here. Uh you know,
we did talk about that. There was rumors going around
that they were doing a Dragon Quest seven remake and

(42:37):
they showed it off here.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Uh just.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, I love the art style. Uh, it's apparently it's reimagined,
so they are. They've already said that they're gonna cut
a lot of it because seven is extremely long, right, uh,
super long. I had the three DS version. I know,
I played about half of it, and I was like,

(43:03):
oh my god, this is still going but it looks great.
They did a cool like introduction of the characters and everything.
But yeah, if this is how they're gonna do eight
and nine, then I'm down with that, especially eight. Uh.
And then if they're gonna do the HC two d
s for the for four, five, and six, then that's fine.

(43:27):
You know, any any thoughts on this or.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Like I said, Dragon Quest seven was cool or yeah,
like look very you know a Caama.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Yeah. I love how they said that they took the
inspiration from like dolls or whatever and they put them
in so it would kind of match Toriyama's like original art,
which is yeah, really awesome that they did that. So yeah,
I'm gonna be it's gonna be cool to see this,
and it's coming next year, like it's already coming sooner.

(44:00):
I mean, they are just moving up, moving quickly with
this Dragon Quest stuff. I mean, you get the HD
one and two remakes, which it seems like they especially
for two, they're adding a lot of stuff and that's
coming October thirtieth, and then hey, next quickly next year
you get seven remakes. So I wonder if, like I

(44:22):
said eight and nine are in the pipeline, or you know,
some of the other ones are in the pipeline. If
they all saw like the way three D three HC
two D remake did, then I think we definitely could
see the whole Dragon Quest series get uh some kind
of remake treatment.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, I mean it makes sense, like it's such a
franchise that's like pusting for the West. They're starting to
realize that they like it when they didn't a lot
of time. They didn't have a lot of access to
a lot of these games. And even then, like you're
talking about, you know, eight is seven and nine are

(45:03):
locked away on the three DS, right, and then eight
is eight is everywhere. You can buy it on the phone,
but or PC or whatever. But it's just like, you know,
that's not on like really like modern consoles either. So
I think that's great. If that's the way we introduce
all that stuff, then you know great, anything else uh

(45:29):
stood out.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
To you or some Nintendo thing? Yeah, from Nintendo, they
had four fucking farming games.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
I mean, when do they not have farming games?

Speaker 2 (45:41):
They don't need four.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
I mean they've had someone they've had like five or six.
That's just like they love doing that at these Nintendo directs,
like uh they did obviously. I think the one to
talk about is the Pacopia one, Yeah, with Ditto transformed
into a human and essentially is able to take powers

(46:05):
from the Pokemon and then like do Minecraft with it. Right,
it has a qtt art style. I like it. You know,
to me, that have been the perfect game. It's like
a lot of dragon Quest Builders as well, which I
like Dragon Quoes Builders a lot. If there's like a

(46:27):
quest system or whatever like Dragon Quest Builders and it's
not just oh, this is just there for you to
do whatever you want with it, then I kind of
be intrigued. I wouldn't necessarily just want, oh, open world, Pokemon,
do whatever you want game. That's where I'm kind of like,

(46:51):
but you know, if there's like a quest line to
it or something that happens rather than just being the
Pokemon cozy game, I'd be down for it. If not,
then they peopleoud like that, go go ahead, go for
it all right?

Speaker 2 (47:09):
No? I mean the director have a few good announcements
finally to release.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Date, yes, oh man, and that trailer looked great. The
the cut scene for it and everything, yeah, looked awesome.
September twenty fifth, everything is coming out at the end
of this freaking month. I'm sitting there going, how am
I going to play that? And Time Stranger comes out

(47:40):
like a week later. This is twenty bucks though, right
the yeah, ohud study, Okay, well what's that's definitely worth
the price in Greece? I mean one game?

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Yeah, because Haities won to twenty five so.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Yeah, that's that's fine. But it's like, dude, there's just
it's it's ridiculous the amount of Silent Hill f Rain Worlds.
The Watcher comes out, Sonic Racing Cross Worlds.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Did you see the thing that happened today?

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Yeah, we can talk about that. The Fall Fassy Tactics
comes out like a couple of days after that, it's like,
oh my god, talk about uh the wallet is crying
right at this end of the month beginning of October thing.

(48:38):
So definitely we'll be seeing what we're what I can
do with the getting review gods or whatever. The light
and the load there. But yeah, yeah, well I guess
for instance, where you're talking about that. Uh so if
you this is a little bit of inside baseball. So
I'm sorry for the people that don't care about this stuff.

(49:01):
Silent Hill f has an embargo that it's September twenty second,
but somebody, uh, the reviewer at Dual Shockers posted the
review by accident today, so they technically broke embargo. Yeah,
by posting it early.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Yeah, did they post a review that just sound like
the reddit post.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
No, they they It actually went live for a while.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Okay, because there were.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
People they'd already show that. I think they'd given it
a nine point five or something.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Well that's what she talked about the reddit reddit post
as well. But yeah, yeah, that, yeah, you posted it.
That's a that's a bigger oops.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Yeah, it happens sometimes with the you know, the different
depending on what site you have, your CMS can be
set in a different region. Like let's say it's set
into like and sometimes like WordPress has set up where
like it's automatically like UK time or whatever, and you
have to like do the math about when. For the

(50:05):
longest time, the WTM site when you were running it,
I had no idea was set to like the UK time,
So I was always doing the math of like, okay,
if it's set to this, what time do I need
to put this out? So it's out at like nine
am whatever, and then I finally figured out how to
go back into the in it and change it to

(50:27):
Eastern time or whatever. But that does happen. I do
think this is more of a like it's not an accident,
more like intentional and they just didn't you know, they
try to get away with it whatever. But the thing is,
you can get blacklisted where it was already hard enough
to get Konomi games as it is, so I imagine this

(50:51):
is not going to help them at all with economic
games in the future, so not from other people that
have nothing to do with them.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Yeah, I mean, I guess to somewhat the credit, like
at least it's a good review, but yeah, ultimately matter.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
But there's rules for a reason. Yeah, especially now with
the way that Google has screwed up SEO. If you
don't have your review out by embargo or get it,
your people are not reading your thing. Ever, aside from
you posting it up like you'd have to like literally
post it everywhere, do like ridiculous amounts of promotion and

(51:32):
probably pay, and even that you're not going to get
hardly anything. And then it's like, you know you're doing
all that work that you don't a lot of these people,
you know, us and so many other people you're getting paid.
Your payment is getting the review code, like okay, I
didn't have to buy the game, but you're not getting Now,
there are a lot of fruitances do get paid, and

(51:53):
I'm saying everybody does this, but there are a lot
of sites that sense of your payment is, hey, you
got the game for free. You have to do the
work to essentially assure that you can get another game
after that and also not ruin the relationship with the publisher.

(52:14):
But you're not getting monetary payment, right, So like you're
doing all this work and then if nobody reads it,
it's like and then a lot of sites also do
it based off of oh you get if you do
get payment, you get payment based on your views. So
that's another reason why embargoes matter. So and it's visibility

(52:37):
for the game, right because like, you know, more people
talking about it the more. That's why you get all
those Accolade trailers and stuff like that. But yeah, I mean,
I'm glad to know Solon Hill F is going to
be good because there's a lot of concern about, oh,
it's not one of the number of games how good
is it going to be? And then hey, if there's

(53:00):
more reviews like that, then my jump up to one
of my you know, top of my list of Okay,
what am I buying that week of September twenty fifth,
you know, so we'll see as far as the rest
of what's in this direct I know, for you Fire
of Them that had how e sighted? Were you that

(53:22):
that's the last not only that that is announced, right,
it's apparently it's at least set in the same world
as Three Houses. Some talk about is it a sequel?
Is it not? But a this was like the one
more thing for them, Like, man, it really shows how

(53:43):
big Fire of Them has gotten that they put it
in the premium spot. What did you think of what
they showed her? Well? Yeah, I mean this is really
it is really kind of unexpected. There was some folks
that were kind of wondering if we're gonna get a
Fire of Them or not, like when are we going

(54:04):
to And then also like the introduction of the way
he says it, like, oh warriors, whatever is is this
another Firelum Warriors kind of thing? But no, it's a
full on fire Them game. That's pretty great that uh,
this is going to be in here, so I'm glad

(54:26):
to see it again. It says a lot about Nintendo,
like what we're that that was. It's pretty awesome that
we're getting a firelim. I hope it is kind of
related to the I think at this point it would
have to be related to three houses because like that
is there. They know where the bread is buttered at
this point, like they know people are happy for three

(54:46):
houses and more three houses stuff. Look at the DLC
they made, how well that did as well. So you know,
I hope that this does well for them and all
the fire them fans are happy for a while, you know.
Just going back a little bit, Pokemon Za looked really

(55:07):
good as far as what we saw there. I'm kind
of just ready for them to it to be October
sixteenth already and get to play it. I don't know
that I want to see anymore. I kind of I
know a lot of you we're talking about how it's
like five of the mega evolutions are locked behind the

(55:27):
ranked battles apparently, so that means you have to have
switch online to play against sequel to be able to
unlock that. So that's not great. So that means that
adds an extra monetary value to the game, and then
also the right You DLC as well that they already announced.

(55:49):
So yeah, this game is gonna get expensive if you
want to get all that stuff, but it's pretty typical
for Nintendo. So hey, are you there all right?

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Can you hear me? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (56:04):
I can hear you.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Yeah. I think Windows decided to update a halfway through
the podcast.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Gotta love that because it dropped.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Like resolution, like very hard, and then it was like, oh,
I got to install your sound driver. I'm like, wait why, Like,
but an answer to your question, I think it looks
fire on them, looks okay, but you didn't. I feel
like the you know, Three Houses one personally.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
That character they showed at the end is from definitely
from Three Houses, right.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
I don't know, maybe I just look better than not Engage,
which people really didn't like.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Yeah, there was a lot of mixed reaction to Engage, right.
Would you like the Donkey Kong bananza DLC?

Speaker 2 (56:51):
No, it means they gotta go buy it or you know,
eventually go buy it.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Yeah, twenty bucks. I did like the DK Island right
part that was that's pretty cool, like getting to go
to de Call and I wondever there's any kind of
like hits to King k Rule or anything like that.
We did see Diddy Kong and.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
I don't want to spoil the game, but k C
does pop up. Okay.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
Yeah. Also Metro Prime four that looks really cool. Yeah, yeah,
that was unexpected. I think, no no clue that that
was going to be a thing, and then they shut
it off.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I think people. I think people expect like Metric Prime
four to be like the earlier ones. We're just kind
of in like a base or like light planet stuff,
but it's still kind of self contained, and this is
a lot more open.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
You like that. You like that it's going to be
more like open world.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Is It depends on this stuff to do. If it's
just like an empty flat space, then no. But if
there's like meaningful upgrades or a crap to do, then sure.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Yeah. Hopefully with December fourth release date, yeah, no, it
is gonna be a December game, So we're gonna have
to wait a little bit to do the end of
the year stuff. It's definitely gonna have to It's gonna
very much like Indiana Jones last year. You're gonna have
a lot of people deciding whether they're gonna include this
thing or not, or they had enough time to play it,
or but I mean it looks awesome. So I'm excited

(58:38):
that it is going to come this year and hopefully
it lives up to the hype, you know that it's
we've been waiting all this, all these years to finally
play it. So right, I'm kind of like you. I
watched this a few times with like, you know, kind
of funny reacting to it and min Max and a

(58:58):
few so like, and while I found a lot, there
was a lot of things like for me, right, I
also kind of felt like there was some things that like,
especially not having the three D Mario, I think kind
of like Danford a little bit, because I think it's
a lot everybody was expecting. I feel like, this is

(59:20):
the time we're gonna get three D Mario, right, obviously
not having go ahead.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
That's because like three D Mario appears in every mark
and every Nintendo console within like the first year.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
And a half, you know, yeah, I mean last the
switch one you had Odyssey in that first year, right,
you know, so it kind of yeah, it's especially with
the anniversary, you kind of thought, Okay, this is the
time for that and then oh it's they're holding off,

(59:54):
you know because of the movie or whatever the reasoning is. Uh,
they did h introduce a new classics for a switch
online and it's, of all things, the Virtual Boy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
I can't believe they're actually doing a full on virtual Boy.
Uh that has console and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Well, I mean it just has like a better It
has like two different like ways to like watch it
or you use it, like yeah, the cardboard doc and
then like the plastic one.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
My problem with this really is, like, Yo, where the
fuck is water World?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
That's what It's a water World and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
That can include the water World game, Virtual Boy game.
What's the point? Yeah? Uh, and this is where Martin
Tennis got started, so you can.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
You know, yeah, that's true. You play the original Mario Tennis.
They are going to have like a cardboard version so
you don't have to necessarily buy the big old right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
I took. I took a fifty dollars one where they
the other one.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
But look, I remember using this thing. It's not comfortable.
I don't know if they're going to make it more comfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
I had too as a kid.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
I got too I think my dad bought me one
like when it first came out, and then I use
that one a lot more, and then that sometime I
got a second one. I don't know what happened to
the first one. Maybe I lost it or broke or
who knows, but yeah, I know I got a second
one like later on. That was like when they're blowing
them out basically when there's like thirty bucks at KB
Toys or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Yeah, they were like, oh, please buy this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Yeah the one. The one nice thing is I guess
that Jack Bros. Game that Atlas want to be go
down in price because I was gonna, you know, be
part of the service.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
So part of this thing. I think. Last thing too
is that they showed off that there is gonna be
resonatal recorum.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
That legitimately looked really bad.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Really it didn't look too bad.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
I like it really blurry or like really like pixely.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yeah, that might be an issue.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Obviously it might have been the stream. I can't fault
it necessarily for that. I mean, who knows, but I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Right there are rumors that also. I mean, they did
show that Residubul seven and village will get native ports
instead of just having the cloud versions now, I don't
know why you would have them come out the same day.
It kind of makes more sense to like have the
older ones come out earlier and how people buy them

(01:02:39):
and like have time to play the games. Also because
it's i'd imagine that they're going to be priced at least,
if not sixty, at least fifty. And you know, are
you asking people to buy, like spend one hundred and
seventy dollars or whatever for these games to have all three?

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
That's a lot Capcom.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
So yes, but maybe they're also saying, okay, well, like
everybody already has them on PlayStation or Xbox whatever at
this point, so we're just putting them out there with
people that only have switched toes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
There's that too. There's also rumors that from the same guy,
the dust Scolden guy that does all the Resident Evil leaking,
that there's going to be native ports of two and
three they also only had cloud versions, and then also
four is going to come to switch.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
To the point, it's Capcom. They put everything on everything.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
So yeah, but at least now they're native, they're not
they're not cloud versions.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
I fully expect residual to the nineteen ninety eight version
to be on the switch to eventually, so.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Probably, but I think they're actually already on Switch one.
I'm mistaken, yeah, but yeah. And then apparently they're also
not working on a Residue with five remake supposedly, but
but there is progress on the co Veronica one that
you said you've wanted for a long time. So I
guess that's good news.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
That's what a lot of people want. I mean because five,
like you can argue for like could use the remake
because that was like a game cube and PS two game, right,
but five is still a fairly in the grand scheme
of things, a fairly new game or you know, that
was like an Xbox three sixty game for god's sakes,
Like it's not that old.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
I mean the game that could that could use it.
The remake is like Revenuevel six, just like you know,
make it functional and make it fun. But right, come,
look with.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
That, I agree there, Yeah, I get it to the
kind of I wouldn't be surprised to eventually we get
five and six as well, But like I do feel
like at least get through cob Veronica and like zero
and stuff like that. That that like sets up the
earlier games, and then if you want to get to

(01:04:57):
the back half of the series that already has like yeah,
then you can kind of more of the newer generations.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Yeah, well, then you can do five and six and
then Residual Village again, and then we started to start
the process in the ps PS six.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Also, what did you think of the They didn't announce
it on the English one, but they showed it on
the Japanese one of the Mega Man Star Force collection.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Sure, I guess I never played those games, but why not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Yeah, they're sort of like what sequels to the Battle Network?

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Okay, yeah, by that time I was out a Mega
Man kind of. And also those were all like hand
told me like Pokemon games.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Nope, makes sense. Yeah, there's a lot of people excited
about that. I'm surprised. Well, I guess the next one
is Legends, right, that's the last one that they.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think just like poured over all
the old all the really obscure Mega Man games like
Mega Mane Fighters and Meccamame.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Yeah, look, Capcom, come on, man, if you're poorting over
all these Mega Man where's the Breath of Fire collection.
No I do. Let's let's make it have a capcom.
Let's you know, do this damn Breath of Fire collection.
Already it's back in vogue. Man, look at look at

(01:06:21):
what Screenings is doing with Dragon Quest, Like you know,
this is uh, this is the time. Man, You're having
this jerrpeg like revolution thing going on. HD two D man. Uh,
you know, get with Square, get them to work on
the the HD two D part maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
And Squirrel do that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
I don't don't paying much money. That'd be nice, a
nice wishful wishful thinking there for sure. But look, there
was also a lot of stuff that was kind of
like in here that we don't need to go over.
But the most part, I think they showed you everything

(01:07:05):
you needed to see as far as like what's coming soon,
Like at least from the rest of this year all
the way to February. You got something, even if not
everything is for you, right like the Tamadasci life thing
may not be for everybody, but you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Get to buy a fifty dollars a nebo. People are
real stoked about that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Yeah, wow, I mean the Kirby ones are like the
Mario one. If they made that fifty bucks. Okay, whatever, smart,
all right, but like the Kirby won't be a fifty
bucks god uh, even the new price of being like
your ammals are like thirty and forty dollars. Just like,
it's getting to the point where it's like, Okay, this
is not even a collector's item thing anymore. It's like

(01:07:47):
it's an accessory to the game, and it's just ridiculous
at that point, right, it's too much. Then they're getting
a little bit get a little greedy there. But you know,
people are gonna buy it because it's Nintendo and it's
what they do. Yeah, you know, and that's your thing,
and went on. But at least you know from the

(01:08:09):
first party of rest that they are releasing a lot
of stuff. They are getting a lot of the third
party ports for now. We'll see how long that lasts.
Obviously it depends on the switch to keeps selling keep
we're going to do just like, let's switch one. They'll
figure out how to make it work, right. But yeah,
but all right, moving away from just one more thing

(01:08:31):
they did because the Hamaguchi son did state that obviously
the whole trilogy will be available and to switch to
an Xbox of Pro probably seven remake trilogy that is rumors
going around at twenty twenty six. At some point. Also,
you're going to get rebirthed. I don't know what magic

(01:08:52):
they're going to work on switch you to get rebirth
to work.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
I mean, if they're getting into work on the Xbox
series S and it ain't that much.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
No, but that's that's more akin to that. But it's
like you're gonna Rebirth did not work on PS four
at all, so right, you know remake was originally a
PS four game, So okay, that kind of works. I
want to see what kind of magic they're able to
work on switch to get that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
To work really scale to hold out, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Yeah, not to mention, like you know, they had all
the poems with the frame rate on PS five for
that game, right, so you know, we'll see how that's
gonna work. And I mentioned, you know, remake part three.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Like how's it's just gonna look like kind of Fantasy
seven or the PS one game.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
They're also giving you like if you get what is it,
the whole like collection or whatever. If you buy like
the Integrade pack, you also get the original seven with
it as well, which interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
I think it's integrate is like eighty seven gigabytes on
the switch. Yeah, like, well, here's the one game that
picks up all the hard drives.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Yeah, the whole whole drive there, all right, But moving
on to Sony here for a little bit. They did
release their PlayStation Plus extra Premium games for the month
of September. I did renew my extra numbership second place

(01:10:25):
sort of the see which now I'll have time to
actually play check out for a little bit here before
we get to that end of September where like everything
is going to freaking come out because apparently Sonic Crossworlds
is going to be really good. That's getting a demo
also on the seventeen, So yeah, a week before the

(01:10:46):
game comes out, you can go play it on all
the systems. So that's fun. Hopefully that gets one people
to buy it. Give Mario Carlile run for your money there. Anyway,
the PS plus extra Premium games for this month Mark's
w g K twenty five. If you you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Know, that seems sudden, like did that game not sell well,
I mean do they typically do this?

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
No, But the original the PS five and did think
about like February it came out pretty early in the year,
like March or Okay. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, it's
just a Switch two version that came out because it's
which you didn't launch.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
Okay, yeah in March. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's been like
six months.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
It makes sense. Yeah, for Tactic that was on game
Pass when originally released, now it's on P five four.
That game is. That game is fine. It's not anything
Crow Country. That's a really good one of those uh
blasts in the past PS one survival horror games. I
reckon people go check it out for sure. You can

(01:11:53):
play that Invisible Conscript Fate, Samurai Remnant, and then the
one premium game is Legacy of Kane Defined.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
So yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
Yeah that was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Yeah, finish it up the Legacy of Caine games kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
So that's good. They got that whole I guess collection
on there't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
For the blood except for the blood Omen stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
I thought they did put some of those on there.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Maybe blood Omen two, but Bloodomen one's a gnarly ass game,
very different, so I doubt it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
Also the kind of I guess. Noteworthy thing from PlayStation
this week is that MP first is reporting that Wolverine
may in fact release in twenty twenty six, and that
whenever Sony does their next say to play, we should
be hearing about it. So if they do something around
we know Xbox is going to be a Tokyo Game show.

(01:12:51):
I don't know if Sony's going to do something for
Tokyo Game Show and intended. I guess just did their
pre Tokyo Game Show thing. Maybe they will do something
Woverine there. I don't know, if not, maybe game Awards.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
I figured Game Awards that they'll show like a mission
or actual gameplay. I gonna do it for Tokyo because
they don't care about that or what.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Do you do you think it's actually is gonna come
out next year? Or yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Because like you know that lead stuff that was like
like a year ago maybe two. Yeah, you guys fairly
far along, like and they probably changed stuff since then,
but right, sure, why not?

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Yeah? I feel like this was the year for that
you got Sorrows and.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
And they can tie yeah, making maybe tie in like
you know, the Wolverine game like x N ninety seven,
like the second season.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
To that, Yeah for sure, and then well I mean
they could also tie it to the Avengers movies, right,
you know X Men are gonna apparently appear in that
or and they got the laid till well, did they
get the lates of twenty twenty seven or like late
twenty twenty six? I don't, I know the movie's got

(01:14:11):
the laid.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Think it might be twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
But yeah, but yeah, I mean, look, it's been a
while for Insomniac and then supposed to the Venom DLC.
The Venom like sant Alone game is gonna come out
after this, after what we're running.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
See that's what That's what I'm kind of questioning, is
what are they gonna do about Tony Todd? Do you think,
oh yeah, recast him them or you know, I imagine
yea most likely call it call it the Keith David line.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Did they get Tom Hardy to do the Boys? Maybe?

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
No, you don't care?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Why not? So do you pay that pay that money?

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Sony? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Do it? I don't think. I don't think they will either. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Uh and it okay, cover Grace instead.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Yeah. Also like Sircana because it's like, uh, you know,
we we had the thirtieth anniversary of PlayStation last year
or whatever. Sirkana was able to release the best selling

(01:15:36):
PlayStation games in its history through July twenty twenty five,
with units sold in dollar amounts as well, and not
that they didn't give out the dollar amounts, just like
they differentiated between units sold and then dollar and dollar
amount gained or whatever. So there is some discrepancies. But

(01:15:59):
like you could definitely see why Jim Ryan was making
sure that Call of Duty did not go anywhere, because
this entire list, this Call of Duty, It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
It's the only game not Ghosts.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
Yeah, I mean that was really bad, but like okay,
and dollars earning, you know, like literally it's just a
matter of different places. But like Call of Duty is
on like from two to five to all the way
at the bottom of the twenty. It's ridiculous. It's just
absolutely insane. Almost every single freaking Call of Duty is

(01:16:39):
on here, from you know, Black Ops one to everything
from there. You can just count essentially aside from Ghosts,
Minecraft's on both of them. Granda Thought of five is
on both, San Andreas is on both, Red Defredemption two
is on both. Both. The Spider Man, well, only Spider

(01:17:02):
Man one is on or no Spider Man.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Miles Morales Spider Man and Spiderman two are on here,
and then Last of Us shows up, and then also
Guitar Hero three on the dollars are That's when the
Guitar Hero three was like at its peak of the powers.

(01:17:27):
Yeah right, those bundles Man, they were super expensive also,
and then got at War twenty eighteen also appears on
one of them. So yeah, but that kind of goes
to show again like where Sony makes a lot of
the money is still from third party, right, you know,

(01:17:47):
as much as we want to talk about, oh my god,
these prestige games and all this stuff is like, look
at Spider Man's a license, they tell me you don't
own that, and then Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto.
I mean Xbox will probably be very similar. I'm not
saying anything about either one. I'm just saying that again,

(01:18:07):
you see why Sony did not want Microsoft to just
be like, yeah, we'll just take Call Duty over here
and you have to buy an Xbox now, like like yeah,
it's it's the cash cow for them too.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Always, it kind of interesting just to kind of look
at that sometimes when you get that that data really
quick for Xbox. The only kind of thing this week
is that. Uh their Xbox Cloud think Kee's expanding. Uh.
There deal with LG is now going to expand to

(01:18:43):
cloud in your car. If you have a car that
uses the LG webOS and you have like a screen
in the backseat, you can play Xbox Cloud gaming with it. Uh.
The child in me that when I was a kid

(01:19:05):
is when the cars first started having the TVs in
the back right Uh in like high school, you know,
junior high high school. Man, if that was I would
have dreamed of being able to do that when I
was a kid. By the escalator, my dad had had outlets,
so I did get to like put my Xbox in there,

(01:19:27):
and I never plane was a raw or whatever in there,
but like it wasn't. It's like you had to have
the freaking gigantic Xbox in there and cooked up and
all that stuff. It's not like you know now, it's

(01:19:48):
just the Bluetooth and the controller and the wireless and
it all works and that that's cool. That's cool that
it's there for your kids to be able to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
Shitting me go in a tunnel and all freezes.

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
Yeah, that will happen. They did lock it to where
you can't play in the front seat obviously to know
that there is a safety for that. Yeah, I'm like
a tesla then, yeah, those weird stuff, but yeah, that's
that's always neat. Just thought that would have loved to
have when I was a kid. So it's cool that

(01:20:23):
it's there for for kids now, right. Also kind of interesting,
like there's news you put out one of those reports
that it's huge. It's like two hundred pages, so I'm
sure throughout the week they will, uh people will, they'll
be having more reports from this that has more information.
But like the one that's kind of making the rounds

(01:20:43):
uh the last couple of days is that it has
a statistics that show that there's a six month six
to nine month window of when your game needs to
go into early access and then full the released into
one point oh or you're going to see a significant

(01:21:04):
drop in people supporting the game. The highest is like
four to six months for seven to nine months, and
then it drops off significantly after that. And the only
reason that like two years or whatever is a thing
is because apparently of Ready or Not which that's blown

(01:21:30):
up or whatever, and v Rising, which are two like
live service games that you know, those have kind of
like outdone their expectations of most games need to release
within like six months essentially of when you're in an
early accident.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Yeah, Star Citizen, Well unless.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
You're just like yeah, just eternally in early access, any
any thoughts on that or.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
That's how it should, but it's clearly not. I mean
even games like this isn't an insult of the game,
but like look at Eighties two, that's been early access
for over a year and now I think at least.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Yeah, I mean, but Hades two is like one of
those like anomalies that doesn't matter. You know, people will
play it because of haities won't being so awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Right, I mean, yeah, most games aren't early access kind
for like at least minimum two years.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
Yeah, and then David Dver was there for like eight
months or whatever, and it exploded out of the gate too.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Like it's funny that, you know, considering it had such
a you know, damn the Man principle initially, but like
Escape from Tarkoff is not going to be on Steam
and it fully releases probably because really they realized, like
the ten thousand weirdos playing it right now are enough
to keep it going that long.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, plus are super are just waiting
for that then it show up on seems that they
could buy, right yeah, why not? Uh, you need to
have that for sure. Yeah, it's just a little interesting tip.
But like I it would be cool to have like
more data on on what like specific games have done

(01:23:15):
that and how they fared and all that. But it
kind of makes sense, like, yeah, you don't want your
game too long in early access, either because people just
kind of yeah, forget about it essentially, or you have
the opposite of they don't really play it when it

(01:23:37):
comes out to one point, oh, because they already played
most of it by then, right, you know, so like
they don't really get hyped for it by then because
they already played the game. There's just not a big
deal for them. Yeah. Uh you be Soft has an
interesting take here on when they're speaking of on a

(01:23:59):
on a Saudier maybe a new Global Sport conference of course,
talk about Far Cry, and he says that they're going
to bring the multiplayer aspects out more in Far Far
Cry going forward. Of course, there's rumors that there's a
Far Cry seven and then a standlum Far Cry multiplayer game. Uh,

(01:24:23):
and it's also being worked on with the Snowdrop engine
instead of the Junia engine that it has been has
been using. Does worry you about Far Cry that we're
gonna do this?

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
I wouldn't mind technically a new far Cry as long
as I like a good story and to go a
good map and ship. My my worry is, like, we're
going to focus on multiplayer? Is I look at that
it's extraction shooter or yeah, you know pugg or fault
and that fall that but uh Fortnite or Arena shooter,

(01:25:00):
Arena shooter but you know one of the Battle Royale.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
Yeah, like's not I feel like they're definitely going to
go with the distraction shooter. That seems to be their
thing for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
Right, Like, there's not much to do in Far Cry
multiplayer because it's not like competitive, Like you're not gonna
have people like skulking around the map trying to kill
each other. I just cooperative. I mean you could do
like four player cooperative. They'd be kind of nu nuts though,
because even like two player two players is like overpowered
as hell MA game. Yeah, so we'll see, but I

(01:25:38):
don't know what you do with it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
I'm just you know, I get it. You just loves
to do the multiplayer thing, right, I just I hate
seeing this, you know, just well, anything has to be
some kind of multiplayer push.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
It barely ever works out. I think I was just
like I heard some people talking about Skate the EA
game and about how like it's this big social game
and no one playing it cares about the social aspect,
like they just want to same. And I think it
was Jeff talking about like, oh, they can't make a

(01:26:14):
creational skate game, like they wanted to be the big
social thing, and it's like why yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Because everything has to has to have modernization.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
I mean, he could be monetization with this with the
single player game. I'd probably rather have.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
That, but they wanted to keep going on and on.
You know, they can't. They can't just release the game anymore.
It has to have a life of its own afterwards.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
Or but like for EA specifically, it's like how often
has that worked? I'm gonna never.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
I mean, yeah, they're hope and it works with the
remake of Plants Versus Zombies.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Now, but like as far as like oh, turning the
single player and like look at like need for speed,
they tried that like four or five times, and it
like never worked and it's like how many wait and
a sixth times, Like people don't want this bullshit in
this game.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
Like, But I mean, if they're making a live service
as a way to get people to keep playing it,
then I guess as long as they keep coming back
to it, whether they engage with the social stuff or not,
what matters is they come back for the other seasons
whenever they get done with that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
I mean, the game is too empty and buggy for
that to actually happen right now, so.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Yuh, we'll see if that that actually equates to people
actually really enjoying the game and playing it right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
One last thing here, the Vileshock movie is apparently going
to you based on the first game. Not really a
shock or anything, but.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Yeah, I was like, what the what do you need
to base it on the second game?

Speaker 1 (01:27:55):
Or you know, at least we know it's based on
the game and not that they're just writing their own thing,
which I'm happy about.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Write their own thing.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
But apparently we know that it's gonna be a while
because the the main person in charge here is also
working on the Hunger game. The Hunger Games director Francis
Lawrence is the lead, and he's got a finish working
on that next Hunger Games movie that comes out next

(01:28:29):
year first, So if this thing is even goes into
production after that, it's probably not going to be till
like twenty twenty seven latest or twenty twenty eight, right,
so we see that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
So Nope, never happened.

Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
Yeah, I'm holding on hope still, but I don't know this,
This constant waiting is is uh yeah, gonna be a thing. Also,
Batha is gonna do their own concert series, which is
gonna include multiple different game franchises, right, uh so where

(01:29:11):
like Sony's using their own games or you know, Squaring
next to his fam Fantasy Keenom Hearts all that stuff.
Nintendo does, Zelda Second does Sonic and whatever. Yeah, Bathta
is doing like Boulder Skate three. Everybody's gone to Rapture,
Assassin's Creed, tomb Raider, Cuphead.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
Journey, whatever they can get.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
Yeah, definitely a lot of different ones, a lot of
great music though. So you know, if you love video
game music, this is really kind of a cool one
to go to because you've got different games and Alston
Alston Winter is gonna be composing and conducting. So it's
pretty great as well. You got that favorites, but uh,

(01:29:55):
I don't know anything else you wanted to talk about here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
I did watch I had a Claim thing. Uh I
actually thought like I thought, like half of those games
are kind of fun, or you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:07):
Know, I like the basketball one, but that apparently was
somebody out been out for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
Oh. The only one that looks bad I thought was
that one like two D platform platformer, but like the
action game.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
Yeah, there's one that looks like it's a two D
version of uh. I can't think of it right now.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
Simulator.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Oh, yes, that that was cool.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
Yeah, yeah, looked all right. The only problem with that,
with that whole showcase though, was ah, for every game
they announced, they had like the acclaim logo or you know,
and they should have they should have had like they
should have shot like a new Jeff Jarrett thing going
like him at the camera going like hey, swap nuts.

(01:30:54):
It's like yeah, yeah, no, Jeff point the breaking point
for the new game, or he should have been like
the MC for this. Yeah, uh did you see that?
Did you hear about the Sega thing in the UK?

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
I didn't, so some guy I think he was an
electronics salvager, like he ran like a salvage shop Sega
in the UK, they moved like buildings I think or
headquarters or whatever, so they left a bunch of shit there,
like development hardware for like a bunch of like we
us and we's and DS's. Yeah, and he got his

(01:31:31):
hands on this stuff, like the people cleaning out the
office basically like sold it to him, and Sega called
the cops on this guy. Get the heart you know,
wow what Like that's crazy, Like they they accuse this
guy of like stealing their hardware or you know, like
the stuff that's a gay you guys, you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
Left it, Yeah, exactly, you left it, and like.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
It s theorized. It's not like Sega is kind of
caught in the middle because like they think people are
like speculating some more. Nintendo want like pressure to get
to call the cops in this guy, I got arrested
and like you know, held for like eight hours or something.
But it's just like nuts because he's like okay, like second,

(01:32:18):
I mean, but like Nintendo is not making new we
U ship or you know, they're gonna come up with
a new we game, Like what are they why shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Those scores are down, are shut down? Like, yeah, what
that you can do is download the games again. That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Yeah. And the other fun thing today have you seen
the Randy pictured nonsense? Oh god, and him like yelling
at people about like them complaining about.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Well, you need to make your own engine. All right,
So if you're not in the you know, online world
or whatever that you just kind of play games and
aren't sitting there on gaming Twitter.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
They're better off.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Yeah, for one, you're better off. But you know, there's
been a lot of talk about Borderlands four has a
kind of negative review on negative reviews on Steam. It's
like a mixed reviews, right, because it doesn't run well
on certain systems, and a lot of people are mad

(01:33:20):
because it uses a lot of d LSS, which you
know they don't like. They think that that's the problem
of And he said, look, lit, build your own engine, man.
This is not built for like really old ass PCs
uses a lot of modern tech and you got to
have a good rig to be able to play it. Essentially,

(01:33:41):
he tells them to show it how it's done. I'll
be cheering you on whenever you do.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Right, He like, I have a friend who is like
a very hardcar PC gamer and he has like I mean,
he just has like ten thousand dollars PC but like
his current see like max is out pretty much you
can get without going way overboard, and he like everyone
runs back for him. You know, he is a fifteen ninety.
That's like, yeah, the best currently the best verdict you get.

Speaker 1 (01:34:12):
I've heard a lot of a lot of folks say
that they have really good rigs, and yeah, it doesn't
run well for them either.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
So yeah, like it's like what people are going on,
why don't you post your specs or you know, like
he never will because I don't think that guy plays
games or you know, probably not at home or you know,
recreationally or anything. So yeah, it's just kind of like, well.

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Then he keeps he just keeps coming back with more stuff.
It's just like, oh, I know that if you really
didn't care, you wouldn't be posting about this. I know
that you're posting that because you really love Borderlands and
all this stuff, and it's like it's working for me,
it should be working for you too. It's like essentially
like you learn how to how to optimize your rig or.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
What there's is like an hour ago he even attacked
not on Twitter about like this nonsense, and it's like
that that's not the greatest idea in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
Like yeah, like Randy's never been good about about like
you know, being a pr person. He has always got
to sit there and say his part. And it's like
you could just like turn the tweets off for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Yeah, you could just not do that instead and everyone
be happier.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
Yeah, you could just like literally you could just disable notifications,
ignore Twitter until it goes away, and just put in
your updates whatever. Just go quiet. You know, have somebody
post from the the borderlands Twitter or whatever. Don't post
yourself right needs.

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
He needs to get his opinions out there.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
So yeah, you know he's got to have his moments
of fame because you know, then this blows over, he
goes back into obscurity, right back at this magic house
or whatever. It's just this is a problem too with
the seventy dollars eighty dollars thing, even though thankfully for
everybody it was only what sixty or se it was

(01:36:15):
seventy right then eighty, But you know, just you're not
doing yourself any favorites there, right for just just learn
to stop tweeting. It is okay to just put it
down sometimes. But all right, that's enough for this week.

(01:36:43):
There are a few things coming out this week. Mark

my buddy Cis guys, he's gat he gave it good reviews,

(01:38:11):
so I'm looking I've been looking forward to this game
for a while, so I got to think about it.
There's a lot of games coming out here, and like
I talked about recently in in the recent time here,
so I gotta like kind of pick and choose. This
is one of the ones that I'm really thinking on
for sure, just because I have trails. You know. The

(01:38:34):

I played the demo. I liked it a lot, so
it looks like this is gonna be really good.

The Dying Light the Beast also out and everything, but Switch,
how do you feel about another Dying Light.
