Nintendo is Making a Clock

<v Speaker 1>He'll be like a got me bad. It's the Internet.
<v Speaker 1>You're busy. Let's do this for October ninth, twenty twenty four.
<v Speaker 1>For the next hour or so, let me help you
<v Speaker 1>sort through the world of gaming on Game Mess Mornings
<v Speaker 1>Live with me Jeff Grub Today, wake up Nintendo hardware
<v Speaker 1>was just announced. No really, wake up Nintendo hardware was
<v Speaker 1>just announced. But first please join me in welcoming today's
<v Speaker 1>co host to Game Mess Mornings. It's Sean Turbo, Sean McDowell.
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing, Sean, Jeff.
<v Speaker 2>Mike Minati. Oh no, might be the most boomer ass
<v Speaker 2>so and so we're still in the first team. That's
<v Speaker 2>YouTube great that I have ever met in my wife.
<v Speaker 2>Of course, Doc Hunt, Doc Cover, we sports.
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding? Kind of a rough one?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's kind of rough, like that one hurt Like listen.
<v Speaker 2>He's insane for thinking that Brawl is a bad video game. Sure,
<v Speaker 2>not the worst smash game, not bad fighting game. The
<v Speaker 2>it's a bad four out of ten video game.
<v Speaker 1>That's right.
<v Speaker 2>He thinks that was That was insane. If anyone doesn't know,
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know last night on Last ten Dogs,
<v Speaker 2>community member joy Z who passed these around in the
<v Speaker 2>Giant bomb community. I know as well. Did one of
<v Speaker 2>those spreadsheets of console versus console to see like mathematically
<v Speaker 2>which we like better by comparing like, and been talking.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of mess about the we recently exactly.
<v Speaker 2>So we thought, all right, Mike, let's see how much
<v Speaker 2>you actually like your beloved n s over the Wei
<v Speaker 2>and and he's he picked duck Hunt over WE Sports.
<v Speaker 1>We could do a poll here and I'm gonna do
<v Speaker 1>one on on YouTube right now.
<v Speaker 2>You should because that was a crime that was awful.
<v Speaker 1>Jeff is better, and then it'll be duck Hunt mm hmm,
<v Speaker 1>and we Sports correct.
<v Speaker 2>There we go de correct option.
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how that goes. I have a good feeling
<v Speaker 1>about WE Sports. Lit'tund like duck Hunt, but he is
<v Speaker 1>holding all of the crimes of the Wei against WE Sports,
<v Speaker 1>and he's not holding any of the crimes of duck Hunt,
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of a thin game against duck Hunt.
<v Speaker 2>Like it's a ten minute little demo, is what it is.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, it's early light gun games. It's fun.
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely bring out every time someone was seeing the
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo for the first time, I get it. And that's
<v Speaker 1>similar to WE Sports. But we sports actually did have legs.
<v Speaker 1>I know he didn't think so.
<v Speaker 2>Duck Hunt's a nice gimmick, but yeah, it's nice gimmer.
<v Speaker 2>Outside of that, I'm doing pretty good, Jeff. I'm channeling
<v Speaker 2>my air Jordan Midler. I got my nice Mango Master
<v Speaker 2>Ultra for the morning caffeine. It's like five pm when
<v Speaker 2>he does this show, so maybe that's a little different,
<v Speaker 2>but who cares about that? About that, and you know what,
<v Speaker 2>I'll do a plug at the beginning of a show
<v Speaker 2>because that's where people actually listen to plugs. We got
<v Speaker 2>the new travelog up on the YouTube channel and it'll
<v Speaker 2>be live on the Giant Bomb site right after this
<v Speaker 2>of Dan in Japan. That's a fun one to put together.
<v Speaker 1>It looked. I just started watching. It was like it
<v Speaker 1>was kind of you got it launched right there as
<v Speaker 1>I was putting the show together. So I'll watch the
<v Speaker 1>rest when we're done here, but watch the beginning. It
<v Speaker 1>was fun. It was like, oh man, he really does
<v Speaker 1>over prepare. There were a lot of gizmos going into
<v Speaker 1>that bag.
<v Speaker 2>For a couple days trip, except for Gizmo, the dogs
<v Speaker 2>who were.
<v Speaker 1>Except for Gizmo, He's got a lot of gimmicks there instead,
<v Speaker 1>but getting that up thank you.
<v Speaker 2>Dan's brand of wackiness weirdly meshes with my drier sense
<v Speaker 2>of humor that I get my editing there, So whenever
<v Speaker 2>we make a video together, it comes out bizarrely well.
<v Speaker 2>So I always like editing a Dan video.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, looking forward to watching that. Other things. Hey, everyone
<v Speaker 1>in Florida, stay safe. It's looking like it's going to
<v Speaker 1>be a hell of a storm there, so of course.
<v Speaker 2>I know some people who already evacuate, so hopefully everyone
<v Speaker 2>else who like dealing with that is doing well as well.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, do whatever you got to do. But we're thinking
<v Speaker 1>for thinking of you and hoping for the best, and
<v Speaker 1>just yeah, stay safe. Right, How are you doing on metaphors?
<v Speaker 1>That's still kind of the game taking at most of
<v Speaker 1>your time right now.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, still trucking along, mane. That's why I'm hitting the
<v Speaker 2>Master this morning, is because you sit up a little
<v Speaker 2>extra la playing that. I not not just because you
<v Speaker 2>know I have to or anything because we are doing
<v Speaker 2>that review cast at the end of the week on BCR.
<v Speaker 2>But it's just really fun. It's just a really really
<v Speaker 2>good game. I'm like twenty hours in right now. I'm
<v Speaker 2>past like the first main dungeon. This is sort of
<v Speaker 2>like how persona games are laid out. Our Persona style games.
<v Speaker 2>You have the intro sequence, which you know, pray long
<v Speaker 2>usually any RPG intros usually pray long nowadays. Then you
<v Speaker 2>get like the first real dungeon after that, and I'm
<v Speaker 2>past the first real dungeon, and other story stuff is happening.
<v Speaker 2>That's where this game is excelling right now. You know,
<v Speaker 2>they keep things going, they keep hit you with some
<v Speaker 2>really good storytelling, and so yeah, it's got me hooked
<v Speaker 2>and I'm really enjoying it.
<v Speaker 1>Did you have kind of a slow start with this game?
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to remember, Like I know, we talked
<v Speaker 1>about a little bit, but uh.
<v Speaker 2>Nah, I think like the person around here who really
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't like the slow start was Jan and that's because
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't like the Persona slow start, which is totally reasonable.
<v Speaker 2>It is. They tend to be slow. I'm used to
<v Speaker 2>that at this point. But relative to how Persona games
<v Speaker 2>usually get started, this game is like lightning fast. In comparison,
<v Speaker 2>you have a if people have played the demo, you
<v Speaker 2>already know it is. We have like an exposition dump
<v Speaker 2>a lot of cutscenes, but it's you know, it's a
<v Speaker 2>kind of interesting thing that is going to keep you engaged.
<v Speaker 2>That level of storytelling is pretty consistent throughout. So h yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that that is the type of slow that is just
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people talking, which is why I made
<v Speaker 2>It's not you're a game, uh, but it's fun for
<v Speaker 2>those of us who are into it. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was, like, I definitely got it. It's
<v Speaker 1>in front of me now as an option. But then
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I saw Gene Park talking about how
<v Speaker 1>well Silent Hill two runs on the Steam decks, so
<v Speaker 1>I think you might go that direction, excuse me, that
<v Speaker 1>direction instead as the next game I'm gonna play here,
<v Speaker 1>still trying to wrap up the.
<v Speaker 2>Way it was meant to be playing sign Hill on
<v Speaker 2>the Steam deck.
<v Speaker 1>Yet right under the blankets in the dark, I'll do
<v Speaker 1>my best.
<v Speaker 2>You know what. Yeah, yeah, you have an old switch now, right,
<v Speaker 2>we gotta no let's switch.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, a little bit on there, I bet actually
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I might actually work out yeah yeah, all right,
<v Speaker 1>let's explain what we do here most weekdays, I Jeff Grubb,
<v Speaker 1>will help piece your gaming life back together. That includes
<v Speaker 1>breaking news and maybe even some of our own original
<v Speaker 1>reporting for all these topics, I'll get the input of
<v Speaker 1>a bona fide expert who will make me look smart.
<v Speaker 1>If you were watching live on Twitch welcome, you could
<v Speaker 1>always listen to the show later on podcast feeds by
<v Speaker 1>searching for Game Mess Mornings, or find the RSS on
<v Speaker 1>giant bomb dot com. You can also catch the show
<v Speaker 1>later with chapters and timestamps on YouTube. Hello YouTube. All right,
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot to get into, so let's start
<v Speaker 1>Morning Mess with get switched to. Nintendo has just revealed
<v Speaker 1>an official alarm clock. This is from Ali Reynolds at
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo Life. This is this is Ali here. Okay, let's
<v Speaker 1>do this. While fans are absolutely desperate to hear from
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo regarding the upcoming switch successor hardware, the firm has
<v Speaker 1>instead revealed an official alarm clock dubbed Nintendo Soundclock Colon Alarmo,
<v Speaker 1>available now via Nintendo's official website for one dollars, with
<v Speaker 1>a retail release coming in early twenty twenty five. Alarmo
<v Speaker 1>will utilize motion detection technology that if you've heard us
<v Speaker 1>the last few weeks, that not patent the FCC filing
<v Speaker 1>about a device that's like kind of squarish that might
<v Speaker 1>sit on a table that has Wi Fi and has
<v Speaker 1>a twenty four gigahertz millimeter wave sensor. That is the
<v Speaker 1>sensor that will be able to track your body while
<v Speaker 1>you sleep. It's like when you that's what they use.
<v Speaker 2>This seems to be not what they're using it for.
<v Speaker 1>Roer. They're tracking motion a little bit, right, right, yeah, So.
<v Speaker 2>It's a motion controlled alarm clock.
<v Speaker 1>Right, yes, yeah. So basically the gist of it is
<v Speaker 1>the alarm goes off in the morning and it's going
<v Speaker 1>to play some of these scenes from different Nintendo games
<v Speaker 1>like Splatoon or Mario or Breath of the Wild, and
<v Speaker 1>then you have different scenes within each of those games.
<v Speaker 1>But once the alarm goes off playing music from one
<v Speaker 1>of those games, as you start to stir, the twenty
<v Speaker 1>four gigahertz millimeter wave can detect that motion and will
<v Speaker 1>give you coins or Splatoon gunfiring sounds as like a
<v Speaker 1>reward for waking up. So in short, I just got
<v Speaker 1>done preordering mind Sean.
<v Speaker 2>GARSI did did Nintendo went woke and you had to
<v Speaker 2>be there day.
<v Speaker 1>Or right exactly. I gotta support there with their wokeness.
<v Speaker 1>Here real quick, funniest side there were like within circles
<v Speaker 1>of insiders, there was a word going around that I
<v Speaker 1>switched to might have happened like announcement, might happen this.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was probably this and like.
<v Speaker 2>This, and people heard Nintendo hardware and they.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's impossible to say for sure. I like
<v Speaker 1>I was here in its secondhand, but it was like
<v Speaker 1>the idea that that was going around, like very people
<v Speaker 1>got some bullets by not saying everyone new to not
<v Speaker 1>like to not be quite sure and here we are
<v Speaker 1>because this That would have been a bit a big
<v Speaker 1>backfiring had that happen so ato and would have been
<v Speaker 1>real funny. Yes, but yeah, hey, this is weird Nintendo,
<v Speaker 1>which you kind of could always count on to pop
<v Speaker 1>up its head here and there.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I mean again, if you take a look
<v Speaker 2>at the Nintendo Museum footage that we have in that travelogue,
<v Speaker 2>you'll see weird Nintendo is Nintendo, and people sometimes forget
<v Speaker 2>about that. That's the DNA of the company. They got
<v Speaker 2>there to start with toys and whatever, and even if
<v Speaker 2>their business is radically far from that nowadays, they still
<v Speaker 2>like doing stuff like this. They like doing stuff like
<v Speaker 2>that the game and watch things that they did with
<v Speaker 2>Mario and Zelda. Do you like doing these little nickknack things?
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonnaud this has been far from a nick knack
<v Speaker 2>at one hundred freaking dollars and only for Nintendo Switch
<v Speaker 2>Online members, But that's a clear indicator of who it
<v Speaker 2>is for. It's a test of all y'all super fans
<v Speaker 2>who just are are gonna buy no marter you just
<v Speaker 2>did apparently.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, And it also like speaks to Nintendo being like, man,
<v Speaker 1>these these pieces of shit are sleeping and not giving
<v Speaker 1>us money. We got to do something about that. We
<v Speaker 1>gotta monetize their sleep. So the thing does connect the
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi based on the NFCC pat and I wouldn't
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if in the future there are DLC packs
<v Speaker 1>or something that you could buy for this thing, or
<v Speaker 1>maybe just like you go to your Nintendo account and
<v Speaker 1>spend some of the gold or whatever the not the gold,
<v Speaker 1>the platinum points or whatever it is to unlock some
<v Speaker 1>other stuff on there. But either way, this is them
<v Speaker 1>being like, no, of course, we are a company that
<v Speaker 1>is engaged in play at all times, and we even
<v Speaker 1>want to bring that to these other parts of your life,
<v Speaker 1>including when you wake up, and I appreciate that. I
<v Speaker 1>think it does look like a kind of a cute
<v Speaker 1>alarm clock. I thought that the scenes and the alarms
<v Speaker 1>themselves were actually pretty neat. But this is also like,
<v Speaker 1>if people see this thing, it's gonna also be like
<v Speaker 1>kind of a joke. Right. I don't think anyone's got
<v Speaker 1>you seriously with this thing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, be real with me. Did you buy for the
<v Speaker 2>job or did you buy it as a Nintendo fan?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I mean I just I used both to justify it, right,
<v Speaker 1>Like I definitely used the Game mess Operations debit card
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm gonna get a tax right up on it.
<v Speaker 1>Oh cool, Yeah, of course cool. Yeah. So that was
<v Speaker 1>definitely part of it. And then the other part is
<v Speaker 1>it's a weird Nintendo thing that's going to be fun
<v Speaker 1>to have like ten years from now when people look back,
<v Speaker 1>like remember Alarmo, because you know, for all these things
<v Speaker 1>that are weird that Nintendo does, like ring Out, they
<v Speaker 1>are always not brief asides, but asides that have a
<v Speaker 1>time limit on them. And you know, yeah, and like
<v Speaker 1>you know, Labo is a thing, and that was a
<v Speaker 1>less of things that was kind of brief, but but
<v Speaker 1>they're you know, a bunch of other example.
<v Speaker 2>Like Labo is at least a game man.
<v Speaker 1>Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. But like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>it's it's all on this from the same side of
<v Speaker 1>like what can we do with real life particles instead
<v Speaker 1>of just you know, photons in a video game. And
<v Speaker 1>you know, but that's stuff. They move on from one
<v Speaker 1>thing to the next on that side of things, and
<v Speaker 1>so this will be here temporarily and then they will
<v Speaker 1>have some new weird device in the future. But I mean,
<v Speaker 1>do you think that this is indicative of some wider
<v Speaker 1>movement Nintendo to break more into lifestyle technology devices or
<v Speaker 1>is it is it just more of a singular, isolated aside.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, with like anything any company does, basically, it
<v Speaker 2>may be them testing the waters a little bit. Just
<v Speaker 2>oh hey, we have some of these ideas in this
<v Speaker 2>case category. Let's choose the one that is most likely
<v Speaker 2>to succeed in a more mainstream setting, and let's put
<v Speaker 2>it out there. And basically a smart alarm clock that
<v Speaker 2>maybe is the most likely to succeed right off the bat,
<v Speaker 2>because then you know, again people like you who just
<v Speaker 2>want to like see this dumb Nintendo thing because you
<v Speaker 2>like that brand of silliness. Yep, sure, why not, Like
<v Speaker 2>that's the one you go for, So I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested to see if they do make this weave
<v Speaker 2>into any of the other products. You know. The speculation
<v Speaker 2>was that if this was a health thing, maybe it's
<v Speaker 2>tied into Pokemon sleep and so I could see that
<v Speaker 2>if this thing has a Wi Fi can do updating
<v Speaker 2>it has that sensor. It would be cool if this
<v Speaker 2>could be a sleep tracker, you know, one they don't
<v Speaker 2>need in my bed with me, because I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how likely that is, but I always
<v Speaker 2>worry about now when I had the biggest bed in
<v Speaker 2>the world, is just a full back there or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm always wondering if those like sleep tracker things
<v Speaker 2>will just like fall off the side or like I'm
<v Speaker 2>worried about knocking my phone over. So they could tie
<v Speaker 2>it into that, I can see a little more value,
<v Speaker 2>But right now it's a bizarre product.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, And like I get being skeptical that they
<v Speaker 1>would expand on what they're doing based like they have
<v Speaker 1>the video, which you know, I can play here for
<v Speaker 1>people in a second.
<v Speaker 2>But.
<v Speaker 1>They just talk about a few features right now, which
<v Speaker 1>is like the motion tracking for the little game Gamified
<v Speaker 1>Alarm in the morning. They talk about the different scenes,
<v Speaker 1>but they don't talk about app connectivity as far as
<v Speaker 1>I could tell, right, like where it is like actually
<v Speaker 1>giving you data about your sleep, which I theoretically could
<v Speaker 1>do that, And then there's no mention of, yeah, expandability
<v Speaker 1>of the actual content, Like there are the five games
<v Speaker 1>seven scenes each. Those five games are Super Mario Odyssey,
<v Speaker 1>The Legend, Zelda, Breath of the Wild, Splittoon three, Pickment four,
<v Speaker 1>and Ring Fit Adventure. And they even have like some
<v Speaker 1>like fun stuff where it's like when you're going to
<v Speaker 1>sleep at night. There are scenes inspired by these games
<v Speaker 1>of like calming sounds, so Pickman nighttime sounds like chirping
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that that I sleep with that kind
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. So I like, again, I like these ideas,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm.
<v Speaker 2>Saying that doubles up as a white noise machine.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly so. But I yeah, I don't think that
<v Speaker 1>this is actually going to have some big digital economy
<v Speaker 1>attached to it or anything like that. And if they
<v Speaker 1>do expand it, I think it will be a companion
<v Speaker 1>at But yeah, if they're not going to introduce that
<v Speaker 1>now and they're not promising it now, and this is
<v Speaker 1>limited to for the moment, limited to Nintendo Switch Online members,
<v Speaker 1>and then being in the Nintendo Store makes it feel
<v Speaker 1>like just a fun gadget that they're going to move
<v Speaker 1>on fromt pretty quickly.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I think so. And maybe they occasionally do
<v Speaker 2>where hey, this thing can now do this thing. They
<v Speaker 2>do make us small little updates. This isn't quite the same,
<v Speaker 2>but like when Pokemon Go Plus came out, that came
<v Speaker 2>out alongside Sleep, and it was basically the same thing.
<v Speaker 2>If you remember that little Pokemon Go Plus that you
<v Speaker 2>would wear on your wrist right and you repress a
<v Speaker 2>bun so you wouldn't necessarily have to interact with your
<v Speaker 2>phone while you're out walking or like you know, it's
<v Speaker 2>too cold to or whatever. And then they released a
<v Speaker 2>disc version like this hockey puck looking thing and they
<v Speaker 2>were like, yeah, it's the same, it's the same thing,
<v Speaker 2>but now it can also be a sleep tracker dedicated
<v Speaker 2>so you don't need your phone in bed with you
<v Speaker 2>for using Pokemon Sleep. And so I could see them
<v Speaker 2>doing like a sort of that type of thing with this.
<v Speaker 2>If it's not you know, if it's not ready for
<v Speaker 2>this already as far as I can tell, all the
<v Speaker 2>tech is there, so.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Bungus Chance says today in the video they tease
<v Speaker 1>Mario carton Animal Crossing, which is Yeah, that seems like
<v Speaker 1>the kind of stuff they have ready to go and
<v Speaker 1>they save it for like later. Do you think that
<v Speaker 1>those are to line up with the Mario Karten Animal
<v Speaker 1>Crossing games that will launch in the first year on
<v Speaker 1>the switch too.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure this is a big pillar of their marketing
<v Speaker 2>plan for those games, Jeff, those games really need the boost.
<v Speaker 1>Man. What if this is just like it's in people's
<v Speaker 1>homes so we can just blast them with the nintato
<v Speaker 1>as in the morning.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. If they don't even announce it and
<v Speaker 2>you just see Mario Kart nine on your bedstade, now
<v Speaker 2>you think you're having delarious dream. It would be so funny.
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo directs just play automatically and you can't turn them off. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you try to unplug it and doesn't turn off. It's
<v Speaker 1>just a it's however weird ot. Yeah, Hey, yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>think this thing is cute. There's like a little light
<v Speaker 1>on top that's got that like glowing morning light aspect
<v Speaker 1>to it that is supposed to be already real.
<v Speaker 2>If it was even like a little cheaper, I might
<v Speaker 2>consider one if it's more in like the sixty to seven.
<v Speaker 2>It's just a hundred freaking dollars for an alarm clock.
<v Speaker 1>It looks like the kind of thing that would be
<v Speaker 1>like forty five dollars on Amazon, and then you get
<v Speaker 1>a Nintendo tax on top of it that gets.
<v Speaker 2>You up exactly right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Now, you know, there are a lot of alarm
<v Speaker 1>clocks on Amazon that do have like those bigger like
<v Speaker 1>sun sunlight lights on them, and those can be like
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollars. But this is not that this is
<v Speaker 1>not going to have those the same exact effect. This
<v Speaker 1>is just like gesturing towards those things. And the screen
<v Speaker 1>on the front is probably a low resolution, and I
<v Speaker 1>you know, looks good in these videos, but it's it is.
<v Speaker 2>It looks like, let's say it's updating in a pretty
<v Speaker 2>low frame right here. That's the power of the chip
<v Speaker 2>ro screen itself.
<v Speaker 1>Right, so just not expecting Yeah, they're like zooming in
<v Speaker 1>on it and actually like you can kind of look
<v Speaker 1>at it looks pretty low resolution, So yeah, it looks
<v Speaker 1>cheap and cute, and h I again, I pre ordered mine,
<v Speaker 1>so you know, what is my opinion matter? But uh,
<v Speaker 1>I get a lot of people like, okay, you know
<v Speaker 1>what is this? Uh why is Nintendo so weird?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Someone a chat makes a is make a joke
<v Speaker 2>about the alarmo O lead model in the future. But
<v Speaker 2>that's actually that's a concern of mine. If this is
<v Speaker 2>not an olds screen, that thing is going to keep
<v Speaker 2>you up.
<v Speaker 1>Jeff, Yeah, it is right because if that glow comes through,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and really.
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna glow.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's gonna have some glow to it. Now, I
<v Speaker 1>guess I guess maybe one of the ways they could
<v Speaker 1>do this is to make it almost you know, very
<v Speaker 1>directional pixels where it's like, unless you're like facing right
<v Speaker 1>at it, you don't quite see it until it like
<v Speaker 1>as much brighter. But I don't know that. They're probably
<v Speaker 1>not thinking that far. They're probably thinking, what is the
<v Speaker 1>best way to get huge profit.
<v Speaker 2>We just got one hundred bucks from Jeff Grubb, but
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it.
<v Speaker 1>They cost eight dollars to make. Yeah, sucker. All right,
<v Speaker 1>We're still in the same story here, so let's go
<v Speaker 1>this next headline, Nintendo explains why it made an alarm
<v Speaker 1>clock this is from Nintendo Everything. Today's announcement of Nintendo's
<v Speaker 1>soundclock Alarmo came a bit out of left field, but
<v Speaker 1>in a new interview today, we get to hear about
<v Speaker 1>how the whole thing came together. Discussion was posted on
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo's web site, featuring producer YoY Ski Tomory and director
<v Speaker 1>Tatsi Akama. Tomory revealed that the project began with research
<v Speaker 1>into motion sensor technology. However, making an alarm clock wasn't
<v Speaker 1>the first thing decided. Rather, Tomory said, Nintendo was looking
<v Speaker 1>to support people during their sleep, and we were looking
<v Speaker 1>for a way to achieve this. Tomorrow and Akima shared
<v Speaker 1>the following Tomory, one of our in house projects was
<v Speaker 1>to research motion sensor technology. As this sensor maintains privacy
<v Speaker 1>since it doesn't use a camera. We had an idea
<v Speaker 1>for how it could be highly suitable for use in
<v Speaker 1>the bedroom, so we decided to kick off a new
<v Speaker 1>project to see what we could do with it. Now,
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, with the sensor to the millimeter sensor technology,
<v Speaker 1>that's the stuff they use in like airports when you
<v Speaker 1>walk through and you got to put your hands up
<v Speaker 1>like that, and it doesn't it takes a scan of
<v Speaker 1>your body. Right, they could see it all. They they
<v Speaker 1>could the outline of everything. Like they can't see like
<v Speaker 1>your they can't see your skin, but they could see everything.
<v Speaker 2>It's like, what's the bones? Huh?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they know how big it is, is what I'm
<v Speaker 1>trying to say. So, but now that it's very unlikely
<v Speaker 1>that data is actually being transmitted to Nintendo, there you
<v Speaker 1>go through the Mike Manati face. Yeah, but still it's
<v Speaker 1>like privacy concerns might remain, I would think anyhow, they continue.
<v Speaker 1>I see. So you started development from scratch while also
<v Speaker 1>making use of ideas that already existed. You mentioned that
<v Speaker 1>a motion sensor could be suitable for bedroom use, but
<v Speaker 1>was it clear from the beginning that you'd be making
<v Speaker 1>an alarm clock? Maury, Actually, not quite. We knew that
<v Speaker 1>the theme was supposed to be it was to support
<v Speaker 1>people during their sleep, and we were looking for a
<v Speaker 1>way to achieve this. However, it was only after a
<v Speaker 1>lot of technical trial and air and building many prototypes
<v Speaker 1>that we decided to focus on alarm clocks. So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>like that this is like seems to be born out
<v Speaker 1>of one of these Nintendo things where it's like we
<v Speaker 1>are always researching and developing new ideas and new technologies.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, one time that was the vitality sensor,
<v Speaker 1>and now it's motion sensing technology, and how can we
<v Speaker 1>use this? And this is something that isn't a camera,
<v Speaker 1>but has similar capabilities to a camera, so that unable
<v Speaker 1>us to do things in places that are maybe a
<v Speaker 1>bit more sensitive. So let's play around in this space
<v Speaker 1>and then they sort of stumble into an alarm clock.
<v Speaker 1>Part of me still very much appreciates that Nintendo builds
<v Speaker 1>things in this way that can lead them to putting
<v Speaker 1>out a product like this, And it doesn't seem like
<v Speaker 1>it's going away. If anything, they're getting weirder.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're more likely to get weird because there's more
<v Speaker 2>weird products on the market. You know this, it's a
<v Speaker 2>little weird that this isn't something more in line with
<v Speaker 2>say a Amazon assistant or assistant from Alphabet. I'm trying
<v Speaker 2>to avoid triggering those, but yeah, the fact that's just
<v Speaker 2>a sleep is it really even a sleep aid? That's
<v Speaker 2>kind of how they're talking about but I mean, it's
<v Speaker 2>it's just an alarm clock.
<v Speaker 1>Now, it sounds like that they were trying to develop
<v Speaker 1>a sleep aid. They were trying to, they like sort
<v Speaker 1>of pivoted away a lot of sounds like they it
<v Speaker 1>away to something that is a little bit more basic.
<v Speaker 2>Right because like how what would they even do again?
<v Speaker 2>I know I keep bringing up outside of song like
<v Speaker 2>pokemonsly that you know, it's a sleep tracking app like
<v Speaker 2>other ones on the market, So there is benefit to that.
<v Speaker 1>Right now, people, Yeah, it has the stuff that like
<v Speaker 1>can help you fall asleep at night, right, so that
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's yes, that's where it like begins to it's
<v Speaker 1>support journey.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I as we talk it out and as we hear
<v Speaker 1>their motivation at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if
<v Speaker 1>like they are like gently introducing this as this is
<v Speaker 1>an alarm. Don't be afraid because it's just an alarm
<v Speaker 1>like any other alarmed. Yeah, don't be alarmed. Uh. And
<v Speaker 1>they actually probably do have some other stuff in there
<v Speaker 1>that like they will maybe introduced later of like, no.
<v Speaker 2>This is easing people in there, easing.
<v Speaker 1>People in Yeah, they started off with we're watching you sleep,
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to tell you everything about your sleep.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they think people would be even sensitive a bit
<v Speaker 1>sensitive that I think the right, especially when it comes
<v Speaker 1>to using any sort of like actual body sensing technology,
<v Speaker 1>even outside of cameras.
<v Speaker 2>So they point to it, pointed this and be like, no, no,
<v Speaker 2>it's just like you know, when you would like get
<v Speaker 2>up and wave at it to like shut it off
<v Speaker 2>or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, yes, like just think about it when you
<v Speaker 1>are awaken, conscious and capable of giving consent or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>We live a weird dystopian future, Joe.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's definitely a good ball out there. But hey, again,
<v Speaker 1>I pre ordered this thing. I'll use it. It'll probably
<v Speaker 1>annoy my wife and so I'll use it for a
<v Speaker 1>night and then who knows, maybe I'll give it to
<v Speaker 1>one of the kids. We'll see, all right. Moving along,
<v Speaker 1>SpongeBob developer aims to produce Nintendo Switch games the original
<v Speaker 1>Switch until twenty twenty eight, at the least, at the
<v Speaker 1>late or the earliest or latest yet at least, This
<v Speaker 1>is reminded to Tendo News in a new interview with
<v Speaker 1>Video game or PHL Collective, the company behind the recently
<v Speaker 1>released The Patrick Star game, has committed release in games
<v Speaker 1>on the original Nintendo Switch system. The Patrick Star Games
<v Speaker 1>production director Chris Rose said in the interview that he
<v Speaker 1>believes they will support the system until twenty twenty eight
<v Speaker 1>or perhaps even longer, and that he urges smaller developers
<v Speaker 1>not to completely abandon the platform for the Switch to
<v Speaker 1>due out next year. That's because Nintendo's consoles, which released
<v Speaker 1>which Nintendo's console which released into March twenty seven, seventeen,
<v Speaker 1>will continue to have a large install base and has
<v Speaker 1>the target audience for the company's colorful games. They kind
<v Speaker 1>of go on to say it's going to be similar
<v Speaker 1>to the PS two and have an audience of younger
<v Speaker 1>gamers that will continue buying licensed games for quite some time.
<v Speaker 1>That's probably mostly true. It won't be like, yeah, the
<v Speaker 1>PS two to the levels of the PS two was,
<v Speaker 1>because that audience is, yeah, they're engaged with the Switch,
<v Speaker 1>but they're equally engaged, if not more so, with their
<v Speaker 1>iPads and other tablets where they're getting similar kinds of
<v Speaker 1>games at this moment, or similar kinds of licenses.
<v Speaker 2>I should say, right, I would excite it to be
<v Speaker 2>more like the where it is the type of thing
<v Speaker 2>where it becomes a device for the younger people in
<v Speaker 2>the household or just households who don't really care about
<v Speaker 2>gaming at all, and they just buy the occasional thing.
<v Speaker 2>That's the audience that they're going for here. You know,
<v Speaker 2>Just Dance kept going for a very long time after
<v Speaker 2>the Wii was dead. It was twenty nineteen. It was
<v Speaker 2>the last time I put one out because it was
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty or whatever, and yeah, people keep buying it,
<v Speaker 2>so why not. The Switch is I think even more
<v Speaker 2>ripe to just keep going like that because for a
<v Speaker 2>simpler game, it has more than enough power to do it.
<v Speaker 2>It's not like when we had previous generational transitions and
<v Speaker 2>the weaker hardware could not handle something that was being
<v Speaker 2>produced for the newer hardware. I think more than ever,
<v Speaker 2>games are scalable, so you can just release a game
<v Speaker 2>for a Nintendo Switch and that's fine. It's why we
<v Speaker 2>still see a lot of games releasing on PS four
<v Speaker 2>and Xbox One. It's because if your game doesn't need
<v Speaker 2>the horsepower of the new system, you might as well
<v Speaker 2>put on the previous system so as many people as
<v Speaker 2>possible can play it, and then it just runs better
<v Speaker 2>on PS five or series because you have the extra
<v Speaker 2>horsepower there to smooth over those versions of the game.
<v Speaker 2>You can do console specific upgrades and everything like that.
<v Speaker 2>So I think more than ever makes sense to, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>make your simpler games for the lowest common nominator, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And Nintendo can obviously facilitate this right by making
<v Speaker 1>sure that it is pretty easy when you build a
<v Speaker 1>game for Switch one, that developers know what they need
<v Speaker 1>to do from the beginning to take advantage of the
<v Speaker 1>Switch two without having to do too much extra work.
<v Speaker 1>So if that is an easy process, it's everything you
<v Speaker 1>said would be even more true, because you release your
<v Speaker 1>game for switch one, it does take advantage of the
<v Speaker 1>switch to, and even maybe your game's borderline and it
<v Speaker 1>runs on Switch one, but it is thirty frames per
<v Speaker 1>second and could be even better on switch to. And
<v Speaker 1>as long as that's not too much work for these
<v Speaker 1>developers publishers that are producing license games primarily for children,
<v Speaker 1>who aren't gonna want to spend a lot of extra
<v Speaker 1>development resources to mess up their their profit margins, then
<v Speaker 1>we might actually still get those benefits, right And then otherwise,
<v Speaker 1>you know, even if it doesn't have those benefits, the
<v Speaker 1>backward combat ability, even if it's like for some reason
<v Speaker 1>these games only run a couple frames per second better,
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll still just put it on the switch for
<v Speaker 1>all the reasons you said where that's just the business
<v Speaker 1>case makes a ton of sense special for these kinds
<v Speaker 1>of games.
<v Speaker 2>As long as you all need the extra horse part,
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a win win for everyone involved.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly. And then the turn in terms of like
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty eight and like, yeah, by then at that
<v Speaker 1>point there probably will be in most of the audience
<v Speaker 1>has moved on to switch to and you can just
<v Speaker 1>put your game with.
<v Speaker 2>Those switch lights will probably still be kicking. And you know,
<v Speaker 2>little Timmy who is still only like eight at that point,
<v Speaker 2>won't probably still be using it, right exactly.
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's take a quick break when we get back.
<v Speaker 1>There is a new movie coming from coming from Sega,
<v Speaker 1>this time has nothing to do with Sonic. And then
<v Speaker 1>Captain Hook is in a video game right after this,
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's get back into it with Universal Pictures
<v Speaker 1>and Sega announced Shanoby movie. This is from Sal Ramano
<v Speaker 1>at Demaso. Universal Pictures has announced a collaboration with Sega
<v Speaker 1>to develop a movie based on the Shanoby video game franchise.
<v Speaker 1>The movie will be directed by Sam Hargrave of the
<v Speaker 1>Extraction franchise, and the screenplay adapted by Ken Kobayashi of
<v Speaker 1>Son who wrote Sonny and Move On. Mark Platt and
<v Speaker 1>Adam Siegel will produce through Mark Platt Productions. Dimitri M.
<v Speaker 1>Johnson will produce through Story Kitchen. Toro Nakahara will produce
<v Speaker 1>through Sega, and Mike Goldberg will executive produce alongside Timothy I. Stevenson,
<v Speaker 1>who is co producing as well. There's an overview here
<v Speaker 1>of the of the game series from Universal Pictures. Let's
<v Speaker 1>see how they talk about it. The Shnoby series, first
<v Speaker 1>debuted in nineteen eighty seven, is an arcade game and
<v Speaker 1>primarily follows protagonist Joe Musashi as a modern day ninja
<v Speaker 1>who confronts a great evil. Crafted with a focus on
<v Speaker 1>epic and edgy action, the Shnoby franchise spans fourteen games,
<v Speaker 1>including spinoffs and ports, with over five million copies sold worldwide.
<v Speaker 1>A new entry in the series was revealed in late
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three. More information about the new game will
<v Speaker 1>be revealed at a future date. First, I did not
<v Speaker 1>know that Shinobi's name was Joe Musashi. Yeah, did not?
<v Speaker 2>That's ken? Uh?
<v Speaker 1>Second?
<v Speaker 2>Sure?
<v Speaker 1>Why not?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>I like Shanoby. It's cool. It's got a cool look.
<v Speaker 1>And atmosphere and cool character design. Shnoby three is really good. Shanoby.
<v Speaker 2>Do we not already know about this one?
<v Speaker 1>Did we? I did? I don't remember hear it, remember, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>first time.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think I remember hearing about Shnoby. Recently because
<v Speaker 1>of the game announced that the game wills along with
<v Speaker 1>those other things. So iftill had Shanoby in my head.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because they've talked. Sega has talked about, you know,
<v Speaker 2>the various things that they want to adapt, and the
<v Speaker 2>big ones were like doing Yakuza and persona stuff. I
<v Speaker 2>couldn't remember Shnobe was going to be a one of them.
<v Speaker 2>But it makes sense. Yeah, like just make a ninja
<v Speaker 2>action movie. Why not? There's a history of those succeeding,
<v Speaker 2>you know, regardless of quality. Even so makes perfect sense.
<v Speaker 2>Thepponentis out. We were assuming this is live action, correct,
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think it actually says, but that's the assumption.
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the assumption. Yeah, you know, usually you
<v Speaker 1>do animation, you're gonna get an animation director. I think
<v Speaker 1>the Extraction franchise rebstraction is that those wait, those the
<v Speaker 1>Chris Himsworth movies, because if he directed Extraction two. That
<v Speaker 1>movie owns. It's so much fun. There is an incredible
<v Speaker 1>actions sequence in It's on Netflix. It's like one of
<v Speaker 1>those Netflix action movies. Yeah, Extraction two rocks. It is
<v Speaker 1>just a ton of fun, like serously recommended to anyone
<v Speaker 1>who's like into action movies. There is a long, one
<v Speaker 1>shot action sequence that basically is like a call of
<v Speaker 1>duty action sequence and like one of the better ones.
<v Speaker 1>And like there's one point where like someone like throws
<v Speaker 1>fire at crimps Chris Hemsworth and he like blocks it
<v Speaker 1>with his arm and his arms on fire for the
<v Speaker 1>rest of their sight as he's punching dudes, What more
<v Speaker 1>do you want? So you bring if they bring that
<v Speaker 1>energy into this, Oh, I'm on board. That's uh, that's
<v Speaker 1>a good time to me. So yeah, that makes it
<v Speaker 1>sound like we are talking about live action here. That's right.
<v Speaker 2>Oh hell yeah. The IMDb is a seven out of ten.
<v Speaker 2>That's how you know it's a good action, right, yes.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it's right in the butters you want it
<v Speaker 1>right there? I tried. You know. One of my character
<v Speaker 1>flaws is I've watched the first John Wick and I
<v Speaker 1>didn't love it, So I've not seen I started john
<v Speaker 1>Wick two and also wasn't fall in love with so
<v Speaker 1>I kind of stopped and like, I'm like, when I
<v Speaker 1>watch Extraction too, I'm like, why can't john Wick be
<v Speaker 1>this fun?
<v Speaker 2>Now?
<v Speaker 1>I know john Wi keeps getting better. I will watch
<v Speaker 1>john Wick four eventually, everybody, but.
<v Speaker 2>I'll take people's words for it. I see more than
<v Speaker 2>the first one.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Extraction Extraction two is just a really good time.
<v Speaker 1>So hey, that's that's cool. I think Shanobe can be
<v Speaker 1>something that you like. You said, it's fertile ground for
<v Speaker 1>bringing in a certain level of quality of action and
<v Speaker 1>maybe you could have something fun here and then if
<v Speaker 1>you but you don't. Ninjas are cool even when the
<v Speaker 1>movie's bad.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly right. It's kind of a safe approach if you're
<v Speaker 2>going to go for another one of these adaptations. Have
<v Speaker 2>you seen the trailer? I saw this, I didn't actually
<v Speaker 2>watch it. I saw him passing last night that they
<v Speaker 2>did put out that trailer for the Yakuza TV show.
<v Speaker 1>I also saw it in passing, and I haven't out
<v Speaker 1>sat down to watch it.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm wondering how people feel about that, Like fans
<v Speaker 2>of the series, there's reaction or the other exactly so
<v Speaker 2>that's why, Like, I didn't even hear that that trailer
<v Speaker 2>was out unless maybe you mentioned in passing on here.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I'm I'm curious to see how people are
<v Speaker 2>feeling about all these adaptations that Sega wants to branch
<v Speaker 2>out into.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, what's the what's the Tom Cruise Action movie that
<v Speaker 1>they just did a show of on uh on Amazon
<v Speaker 1>on Prime Video Cruise? Yeah, yeah, he's impossible reach. I
<v Speaker 1>like John Jack Reacher better than John Wick. Uh so again,
<v Speaker 1>character flaw, I get it, I get it, But I
<v Speaker 1>think that first Jack Reacher movie.
<v Speaker 2>You are a white guy from Yes, what that hell?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, without a doubt, like be mad at me? I
<v Speaker 1>get it? Yes, what the fuck? Wow? The Mike manatty
<v Speaker 1>face from Dan Riiker Grubble only likes bad things. Listen,
<v Speaker 1>I'm just speaking my truth and you are right to criticize.
<v Speaker 1>I cannot help it.
<v Speaker 2>Damn. This motherfucker is a dad.
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move on here. Captain Hook, Corella Deville,
<v Speaker 1>and Maleficent seemingly are coming to Fortnite in the next update.
<v Speaker 1>This is from my Nintendo News. Yeah, uh huh, exactly,
<v Speaker 1>whatever you say. The next batch of Disney theme skins
<v Speaker 1>coming to the popular free to play game Fortnite have
<v Speaker 1>been leaked on Twitter. Hype X says that Captain Hook,
<v Speaker 1>Corella Deville, and Maleficent are destined to star in the
<v Speaker 1>game's next update. Fortnite's currently on blah blah blah blah
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, which is set to run until early November,
<v Speaker 1>so that's when you maybe can expect it. I get it,
<v Speaker 1>like they're not gonna just put Mickey Mouse in there
<v Speaker 1>with a gun. That one's maybe tough to pull off.
<v Speaker 1>But I also it's like, what if they did, What
<v Speaker 1>if they did? And maybe they should John.
<v Speaker 2>We know it wouldn't be many, to be clear, Mickey
<v Speaker 2>who even knows about how many mouses?
<v Speaker 1>But Corella Deville with the gun still seems a little
<v Speaker 1>weird to me. Not that I'm against it. I love this,
<v Speaker 1>do more of this stuff.
<v Speaker 2>It's just Deville with a gun makes all sense of
<v Speaker 2>the world. Actually, why I'm looking at this lineup, I'm like, oh, no,
<v Speaker 2>wonder is these three? Oh okay?
<v Speaker 1>Like Maleficit holding a Fortnite gun is a very powerful image.
<v Speaker 1>As I closed my eyes. That's funny and fun and.
<v Speaker 2>With a knockoff ak is a funny image in my head.
<v Speaker 1>It stares me in a sort of tantalizing way, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>what's happening here? So yeah, and Captain Hook is just
<v Speaker 1>fun all around. I assume these are all going to
<v Speaker 1>be because I didn't even look at the images here.
<v Speaker 1>I assume these are all going to be from the
<v Speaker 1>animated versions. I don't think it's going to be well, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>in the Stone Corella Deville in Fortnite, although that would
<v Speaker 1>rule too. Yeah, put Gastan in the game, says doctor Ryan.
<v Speaker 1>There you go. That guy does have a gun in
<v Speaker 1>Beauty and the Beast, so there you go.
<v Speaker 2>You know, Cruella's packing heat. Come on, now, she didn't show,
<v Speaker 2>but you know she is. I think she got rid
<v Speaker 2>of those dogs. She ain't She ain't being nice about it.
<v Speaker 1>She's definitely on next door, worried about when people are
<v Speaker 1>walking through her neighborhood, and like polishing pure evil.
<v Speaker 2>She has that revolver in the in the clutch at
<v Speaker 2>all times.
<v Speaker 1>How are you feeling about the state of Disney integration
<v Speaker 1>into Fortnite? Like this is not part of the big
<v Speaker 1>at is making a Disney thing that is going to
<v Speaker 1>be its own thing. Off to the sign and it's
<v Speaker 1>gonna be massive and Disney invested.
<v Speaker 2>That's part of why the relationship is.
<v Speaker 1>One leads to the other. Absolutely, they clearly have a
<v Speaker 1>very strong relationship. But this is not that. This is
<v Speaker 1>still like other deals of orbiting that.
<v Speaker 2>You know, some makes sense. Some are weird because seeing
<v Speaker 2>Marvel characters in that situation, even seeing like Spider Man
<v Speaker 2>holding a gun is odd. But when okay, so I
<v Speaker 2>fired out the other day just to like see how
<v Speaker 2>much some of the Incredibles would be to buy, And
<v Speaker 2>that's why I really, God, it's like twenty dollars to
<v Speaker 2>buy a skin in this game or whatever. Jesus Christ,
<v Speaker 2>it's weird seeing those picks are a characters holding guns.
<v Speaker 2>It is very odd seeing Elastic girl hold a gun,
<v Speaker 2>you know.
<v Speaker 1>Which, To be fair, I've seen a lot of images
<v Speaker 1>of her in that game, and I haven't seen her
<v Speaker 1>hold a gun once. She's just doing the hip dance
<v Speaker 1>every single She's just doing the hip dance a million
<v Speaker 1>videos of.
<v Speaker 2>Is a magnificent platform.
<v Speaker 1>But but yeah, you're right, it feels strange. It's but
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, it's it feels like there's so
<v Speaker 1>much gravitational pull into Fortnite that these characters don't have
<v Speaker 1>they can't escape it like it. It feels inevitable to
<v Speaker 1>a certain degree. So I don't know. I'm oh no,
<v Speaker 1>so they gets your goat?
<v Speaker 2>Uh? The gravitational pull of Lass Girls fat dumpies.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly the chances you control what you search grab. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I do actually blackout sometimes? Who knows?
<v Speaker 1>Jane also and chat did say live action Dustin Hoffman
<v Speaker 1>Captain Hook in this game. That would rule that. I
<v Speaker 1>would love that. That would be fantastic. I doubt doubt
<v Speaker 1>we're getting that. But man, in a world where all
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is happening, why not give us the one day?
<v Speaker 2>Uh? All right?
<v Speaker 1>New F zero ninety nine data mind suggests Mario versus
<v Speaker 1>Donkey Kong event could be coming. This is from Jim
<v Speaker 1>Norman at Nintendo Life. It's been a little over a
<v Speaker 1>year since F zero ninety nine Shadow dropped onto Switch,
<v Speaker 1>and after receiving a bumper update earlier this month, it
<v Speaker 1>looks like Nintendo still has somea of some event ideas
<v Speaker 1>up its sleeve. While digging through the files of the
<v Speaker 1>recent one point five point zero update, data Minor Luigi
<v Speaker 1>Blood a real name, uncovered references to a Mario Versus
<v Speaker 1>Donkey Kong Festival event, something that might appear a little late,
<v Speaker 1>but could just as easily tie in with the platformer's
<v Speaker 1>first anniversary in February twenty twenty five. According to the
<v Speaker 1>summary of Luigi Blood's findings shared on Tumblr, the event
<v Speaker 1>referenced to tumbler, the event referenced is just text and
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been localized outside of English, meaning we have very
<v Speaker 1>little to go off as far as details are concerned.
<v Speaker 1>That sign that. That said, the data mind suggests the
<v Speaker 1>event will include a Mini Mario League and additional star
<v Speaker 1>rivals named Mario, Mini Mario, Donkey Kong and Toad. Judging
<v Speaker 1>by previous ninety nine events, we'd expect the Mario Versus
<v Speaker 1>Donkey Kong Festival to be limited a time affair where
<v Speaker 1>we'd likely see themed tracks music anymotes to me, this
<v Speaker 1>sounds like something that they were considering and abandoned because
<v Speaker 1>Mario Versus Donkey Kong came out a while ago, and.
<v Speaker 2>Sure pole look it up, it was this year.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was earlier this year, so, like they said,
<v Speaker 1>approaching the one year anniversary of its release. But I
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Like with Nintendo what they do usually when
<v Speaker 1>they do have events like this end games, and for
<v Speaker 1>the most part that's been Tetris ninety nine with the
<v Speaker 1>Maximus Cup stuff. Those do come out right around the
<v Speaker 1>release of those new games, if not before the release
<v Speaker 1>of those new games. Yeah, so this feels like they
<v Speaker 1>were like playing around with the idea of like, okay, well,
<v Speaker 1>what if we did one of those events but in
<v Speaker 1>f zero ninety nine, that could keep, like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>give some juice to both these things. And because it
<v Speaker 1>never happened and it hasn't even been localized into English yet,
<v Speaker 1>at least, you know, based on what's available in the
<v Speaker 1>day to mind, there could be plenty of stuff that
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't been put in an update yet. To me,
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like something they tried and maybe it didn't
<v Speaker 1>quite work, and so they abandoned that work. I like
<v Speaker 1>the idea of it, what do you think?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I do too. I don't know. Yeah, it's a
<v Speaker 2>weird combination, but on that where you know, you can
<v Speaker 2>theme anything around anything with these Nintendo properties, so why not.
<v Speaker 2>I do think a Tetris one would have made maybe
<v Speaker 2>a little more sense, considering.
<v Speaker 1>So easy to do that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, well, especially Mario versus Donkey Kong just being
<v Speaker 2>a puzzle game itself, that would have felt like a
<v Speaker 2>better fit. So I'm kind of curious. Yeah, why that
<v Speaker 2>would have been the route they chose to go with.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did Tetris to any nine have a Mario
<v Speaker 1>versus Donkey Kung event? It might have. I don't remember it, may.
<v Speaker 2>I mean I have no, I haven't played that game
<v Speaker 2>so long after it became just people who are really
<v Speaker 2>good at Tetris playing it.
<v Speaker 1>Like ninety eight Bailey's versus you.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's rough, Well, no, because I beat Bailey, so never.
<v Speaker 1>Mind, yeah, easy, Yeah, yeah, Tetris ninety nine alarmo event,
<v Speaker 1>when says Jason Fanelli, yeah, let's let's make that happen
<v Speaker 1>either way, if they want to do more stuff like this,
<v Speaker 1>like I think you're right, Tetris ninety nine would make
<v Speaker 1>more sense, but and F zero ninety nine event would
<v Speaker 1>maybe be more exciting to me because it's like, oh, right,
<v Speaker 1>are really doing stuff with F zero ninety nine and
<v Speaker 1>this is weird and cool and I'll hop in there
<v Speaker 1>for something like that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is exactly why they would have done it,
<v Speaker 2>because people have fallen off of Tetris ninety nine, but
<v Speaker 2>of zero ninety nine, no, still kind of Freshnaro one's mind.
<v Speaker 2>So that's probably where you would want to go if
<v Speaker 2>you want to promote something.
<v Speaker 1>And I think they want F zero. I think they
<v Speaker 1>see potential for zero ninety nine to have the longevity
<v Speaker 1>that Tetris ninety nine has had, which you can't say
<v Speaker 1>about all the other ninety nine games, or Super Mario
<v Speaker 1>thirty five, which I suppose was always supposed to be
<v Speaker 1>a limited time thing. Go to helldnten, Yeah, and.
<v Speaker 2>That was that's the one that stings. Yeah, things real hard,
<v Speaker 2>but like it was sick.
<v Speaker 1>They I think they wanted all the other ninety nine
<v Speaker 1>games to have the same kind of life that Tetris
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine has had and maybe ninety nine ken And
<v Speaker 1>one of the ways that they were thinking about facilitating
<v Speaker 1>that was through these events that have worked so well
<v Speaker 1>for Tetris ninety nine. But again, the theming around that
<v Speaker 1>stuff for F zero's gotta be a little bit more difficult.
<v Speaker 1>So all right, themed tracks like what is that ID?
<v Speaker 1>You could just replace a couple of textures to.
<v Speaker 2>The top of the game, right, like I'd imagine that
<v Speaker 2>making You're just going through the toy factory, you know, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and you like, I guess you could replace
<v Speaker 1>a Skybox texture with something that just.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly it's just a PNG or yeah d mp I
<v Speaker 2>s ob but.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, sure ninety nine. Who knows, maybe they did
<v Speaker 1>build that from the ground up and use PNGs all right.
<v Speaker 1>Little Big Planet three and Little Big Planet DLC are
<v Speaker 1>being delisted from the PlayStation stores. From tom Ivan at BGC,
<v Speaker 1>Sony has announced that Little Big Planet three and Little
<v Speaker 1>Big Planet DLC are being removed from the PlayStation Store.
<v Speaker 1>The PS four platformer and the entire range of DLC
<v Speaker 1>for the franchise will be pulled from sale on October thirty,
<v Speaker 1>first four. Anyone that currently owns or purchases a Little
<v Speaker 1>Big Planet three or any Little Big Planet DLC before
<v Speaker 1>it is delisted for sale will still be able to
<v Speaker 1>access their purchase purchase games and content after its removal.
<v Speaker 1>The platform holder said. Sony owned a Little Big Planet
<v Speaker 1>creator Media Molecule also wrote on Twitter, Little Big Planet
<v Speaker 1>shaped us as a studio and remains an important part
<v Speaker 1>of who we are. We are and will always be
<v Speaker 1>forever grateful for it and the incredible community it has inspired. Yep,
<v Speaker 1>a little big planet been around for a while, start
<v Speaker 1>on PS three, a build your own platform or kind
<v Speaker 1>of thing, and an early example of those are an
<v Speaker 1>early big example of something like that definitely had a
<v Speaker 1>lot of success. Obviously they made three of them there,
<v Speaker 1>Bond Nation Racer. It's kind of a spin off, right
<v Speaker 1>that they did of a kart racer variation on it.
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was different because a little big planet karting
<v Speaker 2>was as.
<v Speaker 1>A little big planet carding. The thing I'm thinking of, Okay, yeah, okay,
<v Speaker 1>was did Bond Nations is not have to build your
<v Speaker 1>own cart aspect to it?
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, like, was it specifically a like little
<v Speaker 2>game out?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I don't think it was a little
<v Speaker 1>big plan a game.
<v Speaker 2>No.
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, So this is sad for sure. First of all,
<v Speaker 1>this sucks that they're removing it, and I suppose it's
<v Speaker 1>so they don't have to do support, which or a
<v Speaker 1>game that has community aspects to it, community content maybe
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more challenging than a standard game, but
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's some massive challenge. But all that
<v Speaker 1>stuff seemingly is gonna have to go away now because
<v Speaker 1>they are pulling the game down. Because they don't want
<v Speaker 1>to do that work anymore.
<v Speaker 2>This is really really dumb, because, Okay, if you're gonna
<v Speaker 2>pull the online support, that's fine. People can correct me
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong. But this game does still have offline content,
<v Speaker 2>does it not? So as like some single player stuff
<v Speaker 2>you can do right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And people in chatter noting the servers have been
<v Speaker 1>offline for a while hackers f them up players.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's true too, but they definitely didn't take
<v Speaker 2>the service down just because of that. They just stay
<v Speaker 2>because you know, it's been so long. But this is
<v Speaker 2>a weird thing to me. Anytime a company says, oh,
<v Speaker 2>part of this game doesn't work anymore, therefore we are
<v Speaker 2>delisting the entire game. That's just a dumb approach because
<v Speaker 2>it's just bad for preservation first of all, like games
<v Speaker 2>should just be readily available. Is this back and forth
<v Speaker 2>we have, right? Is this back and forth that we
<v Speaker 2>have with companies about they they don't want us to
<v Speaker 2>pirate games, but they also don't want to make games accessible,
<v Speaker 2>So how do we play your games? There's no good
<v Speaker 2>approach to it, I see. Soone pointing out that this
<v Speaker 2>game has licensed music in it, If that is the case,
<v Speaker 2>I'll do it a lot of the time, that'll make
<v Speaker 2>more sense. It's also the reason you don't put licensed
<v Speaker 2>music in your games outside of you know, like music
<v Speaker 2>libraries that you handle and everything.
<v Speaker 1>It makes you think about Sack Voice Big Adventure, which
<v Speaker 1>also has not not maybe not licensed because they're recreations
<v Speaker 1>of songs, but there's definitely still copyright issues with that stuff.
<v Speaker 1>So that game not long for this world as well.
<v Speaker 2>But that's still like a responsibility that these massive companies
<v Speaker 2>who can absolutely figure something out should be taking on
<v Speaker 2>and not taking a you know, a piece of art,
<v Speaker 2>this thing that has been crafted away from the people
<v Speaker 2>who want to give you money for it.
<v Speaker 1>It's rough, it's dumb, yep, and yeah it does. It
<v Speaker 1>does feel like they the best case scenario here should
<v Speaker 1>just be leave it as is and sure it's not
<v Speaker 1>the game it once was, but.
<v Speaker 2>Gigantic notice over it in the PlayStation store saying, hey,
<v Speaker 2>this game has limited functionality. You must like take this
<v Speaker 2>box if you agreed to buy it.
<v Speaker 1>Fine, exactly, but no, no, no longer. And it also
<v Speaker 1>feels like the day the age of Little Big Planet
<v Speaker 1>and its kind of game is also over right, Even
<v Speaker 1>Super Mario maker is not getting a sequel.
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing that has always whenever Sony does something
<v Speaker 2>like this, you can't escape the Jim Ryan quote about
<v Speaker 2>them not caring about old games. You know, certainly not
<v Speaker 2>true for the entire company. No, but it you know,
<v Speaker 2>not beating the allegations there a little bit when they
<v Speaker 2>are like, hey, we're over this. We're not really like
<v Speaker 2>making a ton of money off this anymore. So who
<v Speaker 2>cares about And it's a small it's a dedicated audience,
<v Speaker 2>but they do care. And it's it's bad optics anytime
<v Speaker 2>stuff like this happens, because it does kind of just
<v Speaker 2>stockpile a little bit, even if you do have good
<v Speaker 2>and justified reasons for doing it, Like you know, if
<v Speaker 2>this is licensed music, I get it, I get it.
<v Speaker 2>There it's just again bad optics. And I wish giant
<v Speaker 2>companies would figure out alternatives pass to this, including maybe
<v Speaker 2>being a little safer with the making of your game.
<v Speaker 2>I know it was like ten plus years ago or whatever,
<v Speaker 2>but you gotta think about some of these things ahead
<v Speaker 2>of time.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Yeah, and some lessons very unfortunately feels like those
<v Speaker 1>lessons are now. Don't make these kinds of games.
<v Speaker 2>So exactly or it just you know, like obviously something
<v Speaker 2>like Guitar Hero you can't get around that. But yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I just like, your your one little level that had
<v Speaker 2>the license song in or whatever, maybe just maybe don't
<v Speaker 2>or maybe have a built in option to not have
<v Speaker 2>that license in so you can easily yank it out later.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, make a build an escape patch into your
<v Speaker 1>games for sure. Yeah, all right, last thing here, Polygon
<v Speaker 1>did a pretty good breakdown of the front Runners, Dark Horses,
<v Speaker 1>and Challengers to come for Game of the Year, and
<v Speaker 1>partially I'm including this because they did a secretly reach
<v Speaker 1>out and like what it was was giant bomb thinking.
<v Speaker 1>I think they did that for a lot of people
<v Speaker 1>trying to put their finger on the pulse secretly. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>well that's what. It didn't need to be a secret,
<v Speaker 1>but they're like, we're just trying to like gauge it.
<v Speaker 1>So we were talking about olly well shover at Polygon
<v Speaker 1>does this and is going to keep updating it apparently
<v Speaker 1>as we get through the end of the year. But
<v Speaker 1>at the moment in their estimation, Astrobot is still the
<v Speaker 1>Game of the Year front Runner and they have like
<v Speaker 1>stuff like why it could win, its weakness and momentum,
<v Speaker 1>and so like for why could win, it's you know,
<v Speaker 1>with a ninety four Medics score. At time of writing,
<v Speaker 1>Tima Sobo's delightful platform game enjoys the strongest critical consensus
<v Speaker 1>of any game this year, but its weakness is games
<v Speaker 1>nominated in the family category, as Astrobat Shirley will be
<v Speaker 1>very rarely breakthrough in the main competition unless they're so strong,
<v Speaker 1>or unless they're also strong in the narrative category, which Astrobot,
<v Speaker 1>for all its charms is not. Like, yeah, I agree
<v Speaker 1>with that. Like, there's a chance that just not being
<v Speaker 1>viewed as important because of its story might hold it
<v Speaker 1>back in the final voting. Mean, while a newcomer Metaphor
<v Speaker 1>Refontasio is number two on their tracking list here and
<v Speaker 1>they say it could win because the distinctive role playing
<v Speaker 1>games of Atlas's Studio Zero have been critical darlings for
<v Speaker 1>a long time, but Persona five, which was nominated for
<v Speaker 1>Game of the Year and won Best RPG in twenty seventeen,
<v Speaker 1>propelled them to a new level of popularity and acclaim
<v Speaker 1>now Metaphors here to ride that wave with solid game mechanics,
<v Speaker 1>strong storytelling, and memorable characters in a favorite genre. This
<v Speaker 1>could be the moment Atlas's brand of RPG's outshines genre
<v Speaker 1>Stalwart Final Fantasy, then Number three, Final Fantasy seven, Rebirth,
<v Speaker 1>number four is Bilatro, Number five is The Legends Held
<v Speaker 1>Echoes of Wisdom six, Silent Hel two, and then their
<v Speaker 1>dark horses are Dragon's Dogma two, Hell Divers two, Animal Well,
<v Speaker 1>UFO fifty Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth, and Blackmith Wukong.
<v Speaker 1>And then the upcoming games to keep an eye on
<v Speaker 1>still are Dragon Age, The Veilguard Stalker two, Heart of
<v Speaker 1>Chernobyl Life is Strange, double exposure, metal gear, Solid Delta
<v Speaker 1>and call it dye black ops six.
<v Speaker 2>Yeahlid all.
<v Speaker 1>They point out it would have to be a bold take,
<v Speaker 1>and we know, we know for a fact at this
<v Speaker 1>point it's not a bold take. I guess we have
<v Speaker 1>a strong inclination that it's not a bull take unless
<v Speaker 1>they are swerving us hard, which I highly doubt they are.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think games are not coming out this year.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah right, also that yes, good point. Yeah, but
<v Speaker 1>when it does come out, so it's gonna be the
<v Speaker 1>same problem. It's not. It's just not going to be
<v Speaker 1>a Game of the Year considered consideration because it's gonna
<v Speaker 1>be one to one. Yeah, this still sounds right to me.
<v Speaker 1>I still think Astro probably is the favorite, but I
<v Speaker 1>think that puts it in a situation where people feel
<v Speaker 1>good about pushing metaphor because it is coming out late,
<v Speaker 1>it'll have a little bit of that recency bias, and
<v Speaker 1>then it will also just have like, oh yamn, and
<v Speaker 1>it's not the favorite, And this is actually my favorite game,
<v Speaker 1>so I feel really good voting for it, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>let's give it a chance. And I think a lot
<v Speaker 1>of that could happen. And I also think the point
<v Speaker 1>about you know, they have one Game of the Year before,
<v Speaker 1>and you know from the Game Awards I supposed to
<v Speaker 1>talking about here, but you know a lot of times
<v Speaker 1>they come their games come out and they are highly
<v Speaker 1>consider they get like second from a lot of places,
<v Speaker 1>and it feels like this is the year where it's like, no,
<v Speaker 1>this is better than Final Fantasy seven, Like just I
<v Speaker 1>like everything about this better and Final Fantasy Sevemary Birth
<v Speaker 1>has one or two issues, in my opinion, and I
<v Speaker 1>think people might be like, let's finally really recognize Atlas
<v Speaker 1>this year. What do you think?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think the ordering of the list is probably
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a pretty good representation of where people
<v Speaker 2>are feeling overall, right now, I think it even in
<v Speaker 2>that order. Probably, I do think there is a bit
<v Speaker 2>of and in case I feel like our audience knows
<v Speaker 2>this at this point because we've talked about so much,
<v Speaker 2>But in case you don't, it's not like Jeff Kelley
<v Speaker 2>himself voting on these things. He doesn't have his own people.
<v Speaker 2>But it's a panel of games it's us, it's games media,
<v Speaker 2>people from across the industry all casting their votes, and
<v Speaker 2>they get talied up combined with some other stuff to
<v Speaker 2>fan vote or anything like that, but it's primarily games
<v Speaker 2>media declaring what theirs is. And so I do feel
<v Speaker 2>like there's still a not insignificant number of people who
<v Speaker 2>prey for the big epics over a smaller game, and
<v Speaker 2>so I'm not sure that the quality of Astrobot is
<v Speaker 2>enough to overcome the sheer value scope and like presentation
<v Speaker 2>of Metaphor and Final Fantasy. So I do think it's
<v Speaker 2>probably one of those two this year, yep. And I
<v Speaker 2>think you're right Metaphor, it's here to say, hey, Atlas
<v Speaker 2>is really freaking good at this And if you want
<v Speaker 2>an RPGs RPG for RPG fans, Metaphor is giving it
<v Speaker 2>to you final fantasy masterpiece in its own right, but
<v Speaker 2>definitely catering more towards the casual audience. So many people
<v Speaker 2>do say, yeah, now is the time for analys RPG
<v Speaker 2>to like guess flowers. Sometimes they do get robbed a
<v Speaker 2>little bit, like Persona five is one of the greatest
<v Speaker 2>games of all time, but it was not going to
<v Speaker 2>hold a candle to Breath of the Wilder super Mario
<v Speaker 2>Ossi back in twenty seventeen.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. And that's I think people will take that into
<v Speaker 1>consideration a little bit. And uh and and yeah, it's
<v Speaker 1>you know, like anything, you kind of have to tell
<v Speaker 1>yourself a story, and like you want to feel good
<v Speaker 1>about your vote, and so I think Metaphor might be
<v Speaker 1>able to play on that a little bit. And clearly,
<v Speaker 1>based on the response, has earned it and deserves it.
<v Speaker 1>But Astroboto win, actually lotroh win.
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious to see how this plays on our Game
<v Speaker 2>of the Year.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think I do. I
<v Speaker 1>think I have a pretty good idea of how it
<v Speaker 1>actually is gonna go. But uh, but yeah, way.
<v Speaker 2>A lot of us are really high on certain games
<v Speaker 2>that just other people are could not care less about.
<v Speaker 2>It goes for astrobot, that goes for metaphor, it goes
<v Speaker 2>to fill fantasy. Like we all.
<v Speaker 1>Everyone kind of is. I know it's not might not
<v Speaker 1>be on MIC's list, but I think it's gonna be
<v Speaker 1>on everybody else.
<v Speaker 2>Bolt could like pull a a an Overwatch, an Overwatch
<v Speaker 2>of like splitting the audience so that way the two
<v Speaker 2>front runners of the year actually don't win, and Bellotro
<v Speaker 2>gets so many you know, like tertiary votes that winning exactly.
<v Speaker 1>So uh yeah, we'll see, we'll see how it goes.
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's start wrapping things up. I have a
<v Speaker 1>poll question that we can bring up here. Actually, let
<v Speaker 1>me get there. We got Mere Fresh there and I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to move that over there. There we go, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>do you want an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake? I'm good,
<v Speaker 1>I'll just say yes, why not? H Thirty one percent
<v Speaker 1>said yes, sixty nine percent said no. Uh yeah. This
<v Speaker 1>is when they're definitely gonna have to make the case
<v Speaker 1>for right.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so the way the way you all
<v Speaker 2>were talking about the RDA, I don't think you realize
<v Speaker 2>this is like for a lot of people, the Assassin's Creed.
<v Speaker 1>I get that, right, but it's like, I just feel
<v Speaker 1>like people are like, it's the Assassin's Creed because it's
<v Speaker 1>the one that feels like, you know, the best of
<v Speaker 1>the modern crop and I just played it.
<v Speaker 2>I mean know that a lot of adults played when
<v Speaker 2>they were in like middle and high school es.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's a good point. Yeah, I guess. I mean
<v Speaker 1>like it years old, yeah for sure, but like it
<v Speaker 1>is ten years right since it came out.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, about ten years.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get it, but it's like, I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's like they just did a rerelease
<v Speaker 1>of this game like four or five years ago. So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>like it's going to be kind of fresh in some
<v Speaker 1>people's minds.
<v Speaker 2>It speaks to how much the industry has slowed down
<v Speaker 2>that a game like this where like ten years, ten
<v Speaker 2>or eleven whatever it is years out and people are like,
<v Speaker 2>oh no, this can't get remade. And then you think
<v Speaker 2>back to say, are One remake, Pokemon Fire, Redleaf, Green,
<v Speaker 2>Twin Snakes, How those games were like six years out
<v Speaker 2>from their originals. They were getting full oft remake remakes.
<v Speaker 2>It's just kind of funny. And I think obviously the
<v Speaker 2>pandemic robbed us of a couple of years there as
<v Speaker 2>part of why time has dilated there for us.
<v Speaker 1>Definitely.
<v Speaker 2>So No, I think it could be an interesting one
<v Speaker 2>to put out still, I.
<v Speaker 1>Mean, I think it's gonna be one that's good, that's
<v Speaker 1>going to do fine. I just think when they present it,
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna have to give, like really point
<v Speaker 1>out all the reasons that this is a new version
<v Speaker 1>of that game, and that will win over the people
<v Speaker 1>who right now are saying no, and I think they
<v Speaker 1>will quickly jump over to yes once you be. She
<v Speaker 1>makes a couple of points about here's why.
<v Speaker 2>This same some gameplay stuff. It was never my game.
<v Speaker 2>But if people have issues with the gameplay, like point
<v Speaker 2>that out and that's what people go, Oh, Okay, it's
<v Speaker 2>a better version of this game. I like, sure, maybe
<v Speaker 2>I'll pick it.
<v Speaker 1>Up exactly all right, new pole question here in a
<v Speaker 1>second in the meantime, Sean, why don't you tell people
<v Speaker 1>where they can find you on the internet what you
<v Speaker 1>have going on all that good stuff?
<v Speaker 2>I am on Twitter dot com still as Turbo Shawn
<v Speaker 2>underscore Sahawn. I am here on Giant Bomb doing stuff
<v Speaker 2>later today. We got Worms Wednesday popping off, right, That's right.
<v Speaker 1>We got Worms Wednesday at the three Eastern. Yeah, it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be in the Blake Club spot a spot
<v Speaker 1>because Lucy is out on assignment obviously, since she's not
<v Speaker 1>here today on this show, but she'll be around on Friday,
<v Speaker 1>so we'll have Blake on Friday. But today it is
<v Speaker 1>Worms Wednesday.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if you all yeah, I know, we had
<v Speaker 2>some issues with Armageddon on Friday because that's an older game.
<v Speaker 2>We're doing Worms WMD, Worms and Mess Destruction I guess,
<v Speaker 2>much more modern one, so it's going to be a
<v Speaker 2>better stream overall. So if you like the the chaos
<v Speaker 2>that we had on upf ther day, I think I
<v Speaker 2>think you'll date this one. I some pun with this
<v Speaker 2>and I tested the game out with some friends the
<v Speaker 2>other night. It's running well and things just go a
<v Speaker 2>lot more smoothly, So that'll be fun.
<v Speaker 1>Teeter, he's practicing. You know that's not allowed on Giant Bomb.
<v Speaker 1>No practice.
<v Speaker 2>I played so much Worms, dude, Like, I'm so far
<v Speaker 2>haved of you. I know my skills didn't exactly like
<v Speaker 2>that on Friday.
<v Speaker 1>You were playing. I'm like I don't think I've played
<v Speaker 1>this in a quarter of a.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Dan are talking about the game you never played? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and then yeah, any of this speaking of Dan Dan
<v Speaker 2>in Japan, go watch the travelog after you're done listening
<v Speaker 2>to this. It's a nice little like twenty five minute one,
<v Speaker 2>so you know, it's a nice solid watch there, but
<v Speaker 2>not too long and can get in and like your
<v Speaker 2>lunch break or something. And I had a lot of
<v Speaker 2>fun with that one, so please go check it out
<v Speaker 2>because there's some there's some good gags and goofs in there.
<v Speaker 2>I think people enjoy.
<v Speaker 1>I gotta make my worms team. I'll do that right
<v Speaker 1>after this. All right, Yeah, go check out that travelog.
<v Speaker 1>It's it. It looks like it's a lot of fun.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna watch it myself right after this. All right,
<v Speaker 1>new poll question here it is are you getting Nintendo alarmo? Yes?
<v Speaker 2>No?
