More like MID-TENDO DIRECT | Nontendo Podcast #69

Okay, well live and it's already happening, Bob, what is that mean?
Konami man in chat, also take note of the name Mid question mark.
That direct was to awesome new Saga game, new Contra game, new
Vanilla Ware game, new Mario Verse DK, which could have left that one
out thousand year Door remake. So much fun stuff was shown. Every single
time I do a reaction to a direction, say it's a MID, there's
always that small group of people that are like Mid. This was awesome because
of all these specific things, including a Konami game. When my name is
Konami guy, did he actually say Contra? I actually don't think he even
mentioned contract, Like, oh no, he did new Country game. Oh
okay, that's your thing, man, the contract, that's it's your if
your name's Konami guy and you got a new contract, yes, of course
for you. It's fantastic this from that. That energy is the level of
energy that like when a health expert says to get more nuts in your diet,
more lucumes because it's good for your like bows or whatever, and then
someone goes, I'm allergic to nuts. That's what my doctor tells me,
But it's for different reasons. We got a lot. Now we gotta go
through with this direct today. There was some good stuff, but like overall,
it was like, you know, I wasn't like a blow. I
was mid. But and I said this in my video that I put out
literally ten minutes before we went live here and thank you Bob for the title,
because that was Bob's title. I was panicking, it's going to be
mid. It is going to be mid because we're at the tail end of
the Switcher's lifespan. The good the good days are over. We'll get more
good days when the new when the new thing comes, but we're at the
tail end. It's not going to be super hype. We don't have smash
reveals or announcements anymore because that's over. We're winding down. It's getting chill.
It's never going to live up to the hype of some previous directs.
But it was pretty good. I didn't mind it. It was all right.
It was a right, We're gonna go through what I like the most.
Really, I mean, oh yeah, we could. For some reason,
I was like, do I want to spoil it? But no,
that's I mean, I'm assuming everybody knows everything. I mean thousand your door.
That's a big deal. But like, also, it's an old game,
It's it's available. I mean it's not available for you to like purchase
like for real, but like you could play it if you really wanted to.
It really feels like at this point, at this tail end series saga
that I'm talking about, Nintendo's relying heavily on remakes and remasters to get them
through this final stretch of relying on the nostalgia to hit those record breaking console
sale numbers that they're trying to grind out here in a little piece of me
was thinking, because at the end, they're like, we have one last
video for you, there's no little piece of you. There's a little tiny
piece of me that was like, oh, are they going to talk about
more GameCube games? This is gonna be like a GameCube section. And then
I was like, wait, this looks too good. This is like a
remaster. And then it just ended and I was like, Okay, never
mind, that little glimmer of hope just gone. I had had people when
I was going live, I did a bingo sheet. People were still asking
me to put GameCube virtual console on it, and I don't know at what
point people are going to catch on that the only retro games that Nintendo were
like remaking and reselling, well, not only, but the only GameCube games
that are on the switch. Let me rephrase it that way, all remakes
remasters that Nintendo have managed to resell us for fifty or sixty dollars. Like
they've realized that with GameCube they can repackage and resell and they don't have to
give away when not getting a GameCube network. No, especially not at this
point. It's too late. But I mean, I'm sure there's gonna be
some diamonds in the rough that we'll get into when we go through it frame
by frame. But first, here you go, Oh, what a nice
time, What a nice time we're having in Japan right now? We're not
we might not be there yet. We don't know. Well, I might
not be there at all. Actually I know we're not there yet because it
has anyway, I thought this was going to be on a Japan episode.
Is this on the episode we're filming for right now? Maybe we don't know.
Okay, who knows? But you know what I do know? Skill
share? Wow, and I know so many things because of skill share.
That's true, yeah, that is true, and I also know that the
first one thousand people to click the link in the description below, we'll get
a one month free trial of skill shad. Now let me tell you why
you'd even want that, Bob take it away. You said you knew this
week without looking at it. We got a freaking editing stuff Jordy's video on
how on how to edit stuff. That's how we learned to edit stuff.
It's so true. You got a guy who teaches Japanese on there for God's
name and it's been a long day. What else you got on non skill
share? You can learn how to cook, you can learn how to clean,
You're going how to organize your little little closets. It's so true you
could learn anything on skill sham. A lot of some people would say skills
you may know. Skill share for classes in photography, film, video,
editing, illustration are all the ones that Bob just listed. Oh yeah,
but did you know that skill share also has hundreds of career focused classes too.
Being your own boss comes with hurdles to navigate. With Skillsha's extensive class
library, you can learn freelance tips, start a new side project to attract
the right clients or start a new business. You did a goof and gaff
and we always talk about this, but yeah, Jordy's classes help me learn
how to edit Adobe Premiere as well as a Doobie after effects, primarily because
that's the one I don't know too good. I use skill share way back
in the day when I was trying to be a sequential artist. They had
classes on how to do a storyboarding and that helps me today doing storyboards for
like some of the more in depth ads and videos that I do, like
this one, like this, I'm not storyboarding. It would just be two
seats and stick figures. You will not do anything. I'm not going to
do that. Even if you're not ready to launch a YouTube channel. Skill
share believes that no goal is the goal too small. I'm having a hard
time. Maybe you want to learn productivity share classes on how to read a
skill share to power more me time. Maybe the goal is to start building
a personal brand style for non tender listeners. Skill share is offering a one
month free trial for the first one thousand people to click the link in the
description below. Now is the time to get learning. That's what they said.
That's their quarter. There's no g On the end, they wanted me
to say, now is the time to get learning. If you created that,
that would have been cool. Sadly I didn't back to us. Wow,
thanks us from the past. Those guys are so handsome. Those guys
are so handsome and happy. I got a little lost on the Twitter sauce
or the X sauce. I was looking at a picture of Aler's eyeball.
Oh, why were you doing that? I guess he was very excited for
Paper Mario. His his two things are Paper Mario and Pickman, and he
got both recently, I might add, arguably the two worst Nintendo series.
His absolute favorite. Paper Mario used to be sick though, to be like
I know, that's crazy, especially without Twitter Loue too good. Good for
him, good for his eyeball. That's how much people associate a thousand year
door to him. That's maybe the Maybe the ex algorithm got confused and saw
his blue fur and thought he was verified. That's why Marlow is trending.
Wait, really, just Rlow is trending? Oh my god? Uh so
last last night you and Jackson both made bingo cards for what would be in
this Nintendo direct. I want to stress that I did not make mine last
night. I panicked and made mine in twelve minutes before the direct today with
my child. Oh, I thought you made a last night. No,
I was starting to make it while we were playing Vale. I put on
like three or four like actual things, and then I was like, Chat,
what do you want? And everyone was just spamming like cyberpunk. You
got a lot of wacky's on here, yeah, because Chat was being dumb,
and I was like, you guys don't want to get bingo, let's
go for it, all right, I'll allow it. I will say,
though, we almost got bingo. Where where'd you get it? We only
crossed off five things, but if you look on the bottom right and go
up, we got f zero, We got paper Mario. We got Splatoon
DFC just over a little, and then Mario caught eight courses up one.
We almost had a bingo situation. A bingo, it's all. It was
a It was a if you missed this sweve okay, all right. If
I had put Splatoon oval one, it would have been a bingo because I
made the sheet right, okay, all right, I mean I would have
thought thousand of your door was a was a far shot, but I mean,
I guess, I guess it happened. I think F zero GX.
People were saying that that was a rumor, but that's been rumored for a
billion years. Every Nintendo Direct people are like, when I have zero g
X again, when I slapped did I put g X on that you put
have zero X? Okay, I was gonna say I slapped F zero on
that as like a something F zero, so we counted that. I didn't
hear I've been hearing about F zero. I don't know it was GX.
I want to I want a new I want a new Oh you got it,
baby, never before seen zero. Actually like it though, I'm excited
for it. I was going to maybe not stream tonight, but now I
think I will to play it. I am also excited for that. I
am interested to play that. I think they do. The ninety nine stuff
they do is awesome. I like them pretty much every time, so even
if I played too much, I like to dive in and see what's upping.
It's a it's a nice interesting take on a retro game that they have.
I didn't love the Mario ninety nine one just because it felt like you
were playing that first level over and over and over and over. You want
playing level in all the video games. Okay, well it can get all
so so I will say in May ninety nine, you do play that first
level over and over and over again, but as you play more, you
unlock the other levels, and then suddenly you won't be playing the first level
anymore. You'll be playing like World eight over and over again. Okay,
well I didn't got to that point. I thinks like the longer it was
out for, the more other people had those levels on lock, so the
more you would get the other levels. Anyway, so at the very beginning
you were playing the first world over and over again, but eventually it opened
up sneaky, but I like F zero nine to nine because it's like the
it's like the you're racing, it's a whole game. You play the whole
game, just one level. I'm excited for that because it looks interesting.
The only reservation that I have is that they kind of Mario carded it where
if you're doing bad, you just get these cute little orbs and then you
get a fast track to the front. Yeah, but you have to because
there's ninety nine. Yeah. Player is like trying to get past a sea
of play is like, that would be impossible. Who are you, Bobby,
Ricky Bobby. That's maybe right. I think it'll be I think it'll
be fun. It'll be good for at least a little bit. I'll play
it tonight. Ah, sure, can we? Are you able to match
make with friends? No, we'll such at the same time. Chances are
I'll see you there. All right, you want to get into it?
Yeah, let's go. Let's go, baby, let's see this. Here
we are boop they you know, they changed the timer. I don't know
if you caught that. The timer before the direct actually started it was different
this time. I didn't see that. Also, my my version of this
link you gave me isn't Oh no, now it's working. I had to
hit play as well. Oh but you're seeing the same time that I'm I'm
seeing it now. I'm okay. Now, cool, cool, cool,
cool, cool we do We're doing a cool little thing where we sync up
the v we're sharing a screen time. Wow. Ah, this is the
Splatoon DLC. Yeah cool, I'm not dying. I guess I'll put comments
on this that I already put on my video. But I like the art
style. I like the music, I like the vibe. I'm not big
on Splatoon. But what I like that they've done here is this doc is
a tower where as you progress, you can upgrade yourself in different ways,
and it's infinitely replayable. So it's kind of like a roguelike built into Splatoon,
which I like that. I like the different wacky modes in Splatoon three.
You've got the card game, you got the you got the Salmon Run,
and now you've got this like tower thing, which also reminds me of
the tower in the Hunt Hunter. But that's like a separate conversation. I
like the idea. Yeah, I love the world of Splatoon and the music
and the characters. Everything's awesome. I don't love the game play. And
I've been dying for like a single player experience in Splatoon, and then I
get one and I play it, and I'm like, maybe I didn't want
this. So I liked the single player I actually finished that. The multiplayer
and the and the online I don't like either. It's not that I don't
like it so I don't like the other players. Okay, they suck.
I just I'm not a fan of the gameplay. Loop. But again,
I like the world and the characters and stuff, and I think this looks
really cool, but I'm not big into spat And then this, I thought
this was a nod to Metroid or something. Oh the little bit the way
the music was, and when they announced vessels, Yeah, they said it's
called side Order. Is it is the name of the of the DLC.
I thought that was like a nod to Metroid or something, But I don't
think so, it's not. It's just the name. It's just they're revealing
the name is Side Order. Cool. It's very style warzy. Sure,
side Order it's like a like a like a meat like order sixty six.
So whatever. No, it's like I'll have a side order of takoyaki,
fish, fish and chips. Next up we have This was Cool Mario and
Donkey Kong Mario versus dot Com. What are these games called? Yeah,
that's Donkey Kong. I have never played one of these, and if you
had have asked me before today to explain what it looked like, I probably
wouldn't be able to tell you. I also never played them, but I
know of them. Who does Probably there's like seventeen of these and I don't
know anybody that knows anything about them. They seem really cool. They're just
like little puzzle games where you control Mario and you have to get from point
to point B. Yeah, it's kind of that if I like, I'm
conceptualizing it as Captain Toad but two D yeah, and I get I get
Captain Toad vibes. I don't want to sound condescending because I don't really don't
mean it this way, but it does seem like a children's Mario game,
And like, I know that old Mario games can be all for children,
but this one specifically looks like it's caated two kids. It's four kids.
Yeah, maybe that's like a wild take, but I'm not sure. Because
it's a puzzle game. Like you, I don't know how much younger you
can play this versus a regular Mario game. I worry like cute, see
and simplistic. I haven't thought about Mario versus Donkey Kong in forever until it
was on Jackson's Bengal card, and then I was like, wait, no,
that actually makes sense. We haven't seen one of these games in a
while. Yeah, apparently it was leaked. I think that's why he put
it on his car. People kind of knew it. Well, so was
that zero GX and look where that is? So true? Yeah, I
honestly have absolutely no interest in playing that. I don't think i'll get that
at all. So I think it's cute. I don't want to get the
whole game. I want to try it. It'd be great if this was
a trial, if they had a trial period for this. I think this
is probably oh prior is being in today. Let's find out Mario Versus Donkey
Kong. Anyone in chat getting Mario Verse Donkey Kong on the switch? You
want to guess how much it's gonna be? Sixty fifty? I'd be pretty
mad. Fifty Yeah, there we go, There we go. Baby,
at least it's not sixty. At least it's not seventy. And I'm doing
a poll. Are you going to buy Mario Verse Donkey Kong? Yes?
No, Yeah, I don't want to pay fifty bucks for that whole game,
but I'm interested to give it a little world all in chat. I
feel like if you're if you're the kind of person that's buying that game,
you probably have a giant switch library and you're just getting the next thing.
I can't imagine many people picking it over all the other games that are available
in the library. True. Yeah, that's a good point. It's it's
like there's so much other good stuff you could be playing. Next is Prince
of Persia. This is the game we've seen, and I'm pretty sure we
knew it was coming to Switch already. This is where this direct I think
falls so hard into the mid category, which happens a lot. It's just
everything we already saw we already, I've seen it before, and he's just
more of a look, and this trailer literally gave us nothing else. It's
just filling the purpose of reminding you that it's coming. Yeah, I mean
the game looks really cool. Yeah, it still looks good. I'm excited
to play it, still excited that nothing has changed for me every time I've
seen this trailer than the first time. Yeah, maybe we're getting some more
gameplay, look, but I was already satisfied with the last bit of gameplay
we got in what the Xbox directors. Yeah. So, I mean,
I'm glad it's coming to Switch, but I'll probably pably play it on Steam
or game Pass or something. I don't know. I'm looking forward to it.
I might pick it up on the Switch. It looks like it runs
good, assuming that's actual Switch games. Ubisofts they are known to lie and
play games on PC and show them for the console version, or so that
four percent of people said, no, they are not getting mario's Donkey
Kong. That's kind of sad. That's not unexpected. Ah, this is
some Holizon race game looked off. There was a couple of points in this
trailer where there was noticeable lag and slowdown for a game that's supposed to be
like a super fast game. Oh that's not good. Oh yeah, four
players not looking hot. Yeah, that's not happening. Holy in general.
Two, I've seen nicer looking games like racing games run at sixty fps and
look more fun like Asphalt and I can't think of the name of the other
one. Great help, I am need for speed. Burnout Yeah, Burnout.
Yeah, but there's there's a time I've frequently go back and play Burnout
three on that dam it. No, I don't think it's on switch.
That game is so good. Yeah, Paradise is on switch yet I've actually
never played Paradise three is one of the best games of the Switch. Pult
was great. Uh, next week got So. I don't know anything about
that racing game. It looked dumb. I'm not gonna pa It's fine.
I skipped it in my video. I also skipped this one in my video
too, Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. We could skip this in this video too.
Another Konami game for Konami Guy Hunt, SPI SPI Hunter X Spy Family
Spy Cross On You you like? Do you like this show? You told
me you like Spike. Me and Hannah watched like five episodes of that stopped
completely. But you know what, that's not a bad endorsement coming from me
because I usually drop out of shows in the middle of you usually just don't
watch anything period. Yeah, so it was It's good. It's a good
show. I never playing that game. No, I mean it looked cozy.
It kind of looked like a persona ish vibes without any combat. It
looks like a kid's game. A lot of this is looking like kids games.
And I have to remind people that I'm thirty three and talking about Nintendo.
It is a Nintendo direct. Uh, here's more of a look at
Mario RPG. Super Mario RPG. Yeah, not to sound like a broken
record. But again, we're getting more of a look at something that we've
already seen a couple of times. Not to say I'm not any more or
less excited for it. I have actually one small concern about this game now,
and it's what they're showing right here. If you time and attack perfectly,
it damages all all enemies quite a bit. It looks like sizeable enough.
Is that not a thing in the original? No, that's new,
they said. I don't remember it either, and it to me makes it
seem like it's going to make battles a lot easier and possibly speed them up
and if not, cheapen them. So I'm already almost wondering if I should
just not do those perfect time presses to make it a little bit more challenging,
because under the impression that that was a thing in the old one.
It's yeah, they said it was new, okay, But if you can
hit every enemy with every attack, I mean, that kind of defeats the
whole purpose in my mind, of what a JRPG turn based tactics game is.
But maybe that's a wild take. Maybe it'll feel better when we're playing
it. So I've never played Super Mario RPG. So I don't know how
this breaks. I mean, I could see how it could break the game,
but maybe they make it harder in other ways so that they like kind
of force you into doing the new mechanic. Someone in a chat says it's
in the original, h the original? That what that sayings in the original
is the time button presses. I'm saying the perfect time button press where it
hits every enemy is new. Oh so you can do a perfect time button
press. What does it do in the original If you do a perfectly time
I'm assuming like it works most games, it does extra damage to whoever you're
attacking instead of hitting everybody. No, now, if you do a perfect
time button press, it will also hit everybody. Yeah. Yeah, the
time hit was more damage was always there. Same with timed block for less
damage. But yeah, hitting all enemies is new. Okay, that makes
sense. I kind of like the idea of the perfect time button presses.
I don't know how much I like changing it to hit everybody versus just hitting
one guy. I like it how it was hitting everybody seems like easy mode,
baby mode. But we'll see. Maybe they make it harder in other
ways. I don't know. Maybe they make it so only certain moves can
hit everybody. Well they someone in chat said they will even it out,
which is doing a lot of assuming. But they might. I mean they
might get sending me a little bit more health, which would add Yeah,
that would add to a challenge. Or maybe they decided that the game's too
hard and they needed to do this for some reason. Maybe maybe so we
saw this game already, but I appreciated this more in depth look because I
don't know much about Super Mario RPG, and there was a lot of extra
stuff in here. You get some more stuff of the world and the characters
and the enemies are gonna be fighting and the way the combat works, which
is what I was interested in. So I'm definitely playing that game. I'm
a little more excited about it now after seeing that. Okay, well,
I guess I worked for you. Yeah, I forgot what this is.
Oh yeah, I tuned out. Yeah this is I forget the name of
the game. It actually show you pretty quickly here. But they were DS.
There was a DS game another code uh, and it was like a
hidden jam I guess, like puzzle kind of detective style game. And then
there's there was a sequel that was only released in Japan that's getting packaged in
with this too for the first time outside of Japan, which is cool.
And it's a remake or a remaster, or it's an upgraded visual version,
whatever you want to call it. Comed a switch. I don't really have
any interest. I don't play games like this. It reminds me of Detective
Pikachu that it's happening. Apparently Zion was very excited about Apparently he likes the
Dski cool. He had a he had a little reaction, a little freak
out reaction. Oh, I'm so happy for him. All right. Next,
Oh, Peach, isn't that peachy? We got Peach? Oh boy,
I don't know what to make it this one. Yeah. I thought
it looked really cool when you see peach transformance of the Sword Fighter. I
was like, that looks like a cool game. And then she transformed into
something else and I was like, Oh, it's she's gonna have like different,
like a lot of abilities. And then it was something else and I
was like, oh, it's oh, it's gonna be the whole game.
So like usually that mean so there's it looks like there's ten different worlds potentially
maybe more than that that you will transfer. That's assuming that Peach will have
ten different costumes as she transforms into with ten different abilities. It seems like
each stage is going to have its own abilities, and if you have that
many abilities, I feel like they can't all be great. Maybe I'll all
as fun as each other, but I think they'll all work within their worlds.
Like there was a detective one that looked like you go around looking for
clues, and I imagine the gameplay of that one is not going to be
as exciting as like sword fighting, but it's going to be a lot of
clicking on things and like solving a puzzle. So it depends on how they
build the world around the outfit. To me, this now is looking like
a Princess Peach answer to Mario sixty four in a way, because if you
go back to the start, which you don't have to, but it looks
like it's all set in a theater like a show feed. I mean it's
called showtime, and there's a bunch of different curtains. Can you click you
can click around? I think I can. Yeah, let me see if
it works for me. There's a bunch of different curtains around her. I
don't know how this works. Every time I click it cuts back to where
you are anyway. So like you go through paintings in Mario, this time
you'll go into like a playroom, and depending on the play that you're in,
she'll transform to be on that stage. Because it looks like all of
these are taking place on a stage, like you're watching a musical or a
play or something. And yeah, it's broken down in the world's that way,
I think, which it's cool. It looks like there's some like side
scrolling parts where you move left or right, and then there's other like set
pieces that more like you're performing a play, like right there. Actually you
couldn't see that because it's cut to me right now. But uh yeah,
I think it could be fun. It could be changed it. I think
I changed it so you can move it around now you wanted to. Uh
yeah. I'm just concerned about how different all of the mechanics are, because
usually you build a game around the mechanics of the game, and this seems
like there's so many different types of mechanics that it's going to be jack of
all trades, master of none. That's what I'm concerned about. But some
of it looks really good. Yeah. Again, it's giving me like Mars
sixty four almost like blended with Warrior Web, just because of the how sporadic
it seems to be. I got a little Mario party and that concerned me
with the cake baking and stuff. God forbid, God forbid. Yeah,
that's that games. Well, we'll see. I'm interested. Princess Peach Showtime.
That's that. They're going for weird titles in these Mario games recently,
Mario Wanda, Princess Peach Showtime. It almost seems third party in. Yeah,
it's a little it's a little qucky. Yeah, but there's just no
point to what I'm saying. I'm just pointing it out. Do you care
about this game? Saga something or other? No, you can skip it?
Alright, Cool, there's a lot of certainly do not ya, baby,
God damn. I find this kind of humorous because it's like a remaster,
but not in any shape or form to a twenty twenty three standard.
It's like it's like a remaster. Tho, Okay, all right, this
is that one pot is looks remastered. Every other pot looks almost exactly how
I remember the game, look at the pixels on the ground, like,
yeah, no, this is okay that wait wait, that's remastered, But
then they showed an unremastered version. Sometimes it is remastered, but like it's
hard to tell which pots are remastered and which pot. You're waiting for it
to cut over to the better one, oh the foliage, because like,
it looks like they remastered this game for PlayStation two fifteen or twenty years ago
and then never released it, and now they're releasing it as it was remastered
back then. I'm very confused. This is a weird trailer because sometimes they
don't cut to the remastered version. It feels like, or am I just
no, that is the remastered version. It's just so weird because the textures
look so bad. It's not it looks like it still needs to be remastered.
Yeah, it's like I'm like the very finished by it, Like it's
definitely better. I can see that it's better, but it's not all the
way better like like that, I didn't even think that that would be the
old version. I was like, yeah, okay, that's just that's just
game. It's a little confusing. I will say, Laura looks better but
again, she looks like a PlayStation two. She looks like how she didn't
Dark Angel a little more, some more polygons, less triangular. Yeah,
yeah, I am needlessly a little more excited. I hear what you're saying.
What do you prefer the pointy or the round? All of it?
Okay, I am excited to play that and go down memory lane. I
doubt I'll do whole playthroughs or finish any of them, but aspire some good
ones and some bad ones. Well. Aspire recently, I believe reported uh
that game that scrutin I were playing the other night to the Switch that was
awful was that myth Force. Myth Force. Yeah, I didn't realize that
was myth Force, so I'm very disappointed. I wanted to play at Me
too. I was excited. It runs so bad on Switch. It was
so unplayable. The frame rates were like dipping down to like skip, like
just pausing immediately. We had to jump over to PC and stop playing instead.
It also hideous, and on SWITCH you're going to do two players.
On PC you can do four, so the whole thing is botched. I
saw, like I guess an ad for myth Force, and I was like,
oh, wait, is that the game that they played? I wanted
to play that game? And then I looked back at the vaud and you
were both just just not having a good team. Even once we started playing
on PC, we did one run and it was so boring, Like I
refunded it and I think it's the only Steam game I've ever refunded. I
was like, oh my god, that's thirty five bucks. I need back
right now. That's so sad, Doc Type in a super chat with A
twenty. The fact that Nintendo listened to the paper Mark community and brought back
the best game in the series for more people to play, show as the
franchise is going in the right direction. Type doesn't listen to fans. So
no, that's true. The fact that they did this in the first place,
and also put it at the end of the direct because they knew there
was a lot of hype around it. I thought, yea, is that
they know the audience a little better now than they did, like what three
years ago. I think it's funny that just the fact they say in the
right direction for going back to like the original paper Mario, like, we
have to go back to go in the right direction. But you're right,
because Paper Mario's have been bad the last like three games like Stick a Stall
Onwards or like Color Splash and Origami King. They were all bad. I
don't care that they stopped. I'm not apologizing for it. And when I
saw I don't want to skip too far ahead. But when I saw this
new Paper Mario today, I was like, this has to be a sequel
to Origami King Orgamic King two, and it's gonna sock and it's gonna have
the bad opig controls from the other games. But no, it's good.
It's the remake. It's good. We'll get there. We'll get there.
First we gotta go through Detective Pichu. This is like the fourth or fifth
time we've seen this. Now, dude, this game. We can't escape
this game. It's been talked about for fucking ten years. Still looks at
mid It still looks like a ten year old game. Yeah, there's there's
the lifeless people. How he he's older, I don't get it. No,
that's his dad that went missing. Oh okay, that guy also looks
like he's twelve, though, yes he does. Uh. It looks like
you get to see like how other Pokemon get to help Detective Peak chew like
growl with sniffs on the ground. That's about it. I don't know.
I've never played Tective Peak. I know it looks bad. Every time I
see it, I get less excited. Then you just stop showing it,
just let it, let it come out before people don't even buy it.
Yeah, this is this is rough? Uh skipping right over that. Oh,
this game's real too. Can I tell you why this game and Warrior
were really annoyed me? Bob? So I saw this and then I clicked
on your stream because I want I was thinking, like, this is mid
this is kind of silly that this is in the direct, Like who This
game was kind of a smash hit for a minute, so I know I
played it. It was good and fun, but like seeing it in a
direct that's kind of a shitty direct was very funny. So I clicked on
your stream to see what your face was and then I heard you talk about
this little fun little part this will Yeah. So I literally just spent a
couple of weeks and my editor did a really great job making a video about
every ir read a game on the Switch. There's only eleven in the last
six years, there's only been eleven and there hasn't been one in years,
and I did a video where I played every single one. It was fun,
it was awesome. Now there's another one that came out today, but
it gets worse because Warrior Ware. The new Warrior Ware also uses the IR
reader. So after six years, Nintendo just added like twenty percent of the
IR game readA lie breath in this one direct, And now I gotta find
a way to edit my video and add them into it. Just put the
clips from the stream and that's it. I can play this one quickly for
the video because yeah, but the other one comes out in November, so
I don't know what to do. I guess I would just have to like,
I don't know, it looks like the videos coming out in November.
Sorry, I don't know. It was supposed to be while we're in Japan.
I needed videos to come in. You can put that. You could
say like one is coming out. That's not a big deal, And I
guess just hate that. It ruins the playing everyone in the video thing.
Nintendo finally remember they had an IR reader this direct. That's crazy. They're
trying to squeeze every inch out of the current switches they can. The funny
thing is, yeah, the Warrior By game is actually a first party Nintendo
YP and they just are using the IR reader again after all this time.
So Trombone champs. Good. It's a good little romp. I have it
on Steam. It's it's fun. That's cool, that's coming to switch.
I played it with a Joycon on Steam using the motion controls to go up
and down, so I thought that that's what this was gonna do. But
it looks like it R reader. No, it usually it does both.
Oh it does. Yeah, there's a pot before that that shows you.
It shows it using the motion controls too. Oh that's cool. Yeah,
it's a it's a it's a fun, little whacky game. It's fun.
Of the game though is the custom songs that you're not gonna be able to
do, So yeah, that sucks. I had the same problem with Beat
Saber on PlayStation because I saw everybody playing like the entire Shrek movie on Beat
Saber. So I bought uh Beats and then it was all license licensing issues
and they only had like the royalty free beats. I can play Taylor Swift
or nothing. Who ant I know? Next is some some fucking RPG or
something. Yeah, I don't. I just turned out. I think I
yawned like a million times. I should on a yawned montage while I was
watching. Oh, this was a montage of Uh, they looked like mobis
it's all the same game. No. But then there was oh, this
is like a farming mobile's. No, that's not farming. That that's like
a bolt is Gate kind of game. Okay, not everything is farming.
Are you farm? There's a farce you're battling on a farmb He looked like
he was picking the ground. He was he attacking something? Was he not
picking? Oh? Is he attacking the grass on my fields? Picking the
ground? He's not picking, He's not fighting the grass. There's enemies right
there. You don't see them. Those are weeds picking the ground? Was
it really big weeds? Okay, so farming sim yeah, sure h what
is it all Contra? So this is like a collection of Contra games and
then also a new one. No, it's just a new one. It's
a remake of the first Contra. Oh Contra operation. No, this does
not look like the first contract. It looks like it actually does it?
Is it like that that that and a couple of these spots look exactly like
the first contract, but they have changed a lot. They added in new
weapons. It has four player co op now. And then obviously it's not
an NES visual style. It is a very ugly visual style. I think
it looks Oh no it doesn't. Yeah, it's hideous. It's honestly hideous.
But I guess it's some in some ways better than the NES version.
It looked interesting for a hot minute and then you saw like the like ray
traced characters against like a just shitty stark like like, it looks like it's
budget mobile game. Yeah that I don't know. It has been been doing
some things recently. They just remembered that they had video games. Canami's out
here. They're doing that best. Ah, here's another RPG. Well yeah,
wow, look at it. This is trying looking like it's trying to
do the Octopath's visual style. Yeah. I said this on my stream.
I'm like, I'm getting a little burned out on these two D three D
HD games. Now that's just I mean, the combat looked like looks like
cool animation, but then you do the overworld and it's got the there's another
one in here. Actually that's not the one I was thinking. There's another
one that's literally two D three D. This ought style looks pretty nice.
Look, I'm not big on RPGs that aren't you know, we've friendly,
but I will say that the Switch has an in tense JRPG library at this
point, and I'm really happy for JRPG fans because it's it's endless. It's
literally never ending a lot of half naked women in this one anyway. Luigi's
mansion. Wow this yeah, wow, this is not looking visually. Looks
like they didn't do too much. Now they just slapped it in HD.
They're calling it HD, but this this literally looks like I'm playing a three
DS game in an emulator. No, yeah, I mean it's it's HD
because it's in like ten eighty now seven twenty. Probably that's what the HD
means. It's oh that was that's what that? Yeah? Yeah, I
was. I was hoping that they would do a little bit of like a
remake to it and sort of make it feel more like the first and third
game because this game is a lot more section E. But yeah, I
mean there's things they had to do. Look, the controllers icon is different
Oh, yeah, that's part of the HD. I think that comes stuck
standard. Okay, yeah, I mean some of the UI elements are going
to be different, but like otherwise, it's just freaking hating on it a
little bit. But it's literally just Luigi's Mansion. Two. We knew this
was happening already. Here's more of it. It looks fine. I've never
been a huge Luigi's Mansion guy. Okay, and then we get the guy
comes back and says, here's more stuff. I thought that. I got
real excited when I saw this question block. I thought while they were zooming
out, I thought it was a labor. I don't know what I was
thinking. There was a piece of me that thought Mario Maker, and I
was like, there's it's too early for Mario Maker. But I got excited
because they said it's a museum in Kyoto, and I was like, oh,
we'll be there. We'll be there very soon. Actually, sadly,
we'll be there too soon, because this won't be ready until much No,
wait, whold on, it's just the top down of the building of their
museum. Uh. And then apparently they painted a big question block on the
top of yeah. Uh, and it says in the bottom of quarter note
filmed with permission very quickly, it like disappears instantly. They probably strict laws
about drones. So that building is actually there, I guess. Yeah.
Everyone makes it look like none of it is there yet, but I think
the building is there. We could go to the building probably if we can
get on top. Okay, it'll be complete in March twenty twenty four,
so we won't be there for that. But this is exciting because remember how
the the Gulf War. Game Boy is not at Nintendo New York anymore.
It's probably because they're moving it to hear, which I think is true.
That makes me feel a lot of people it was dead. I thought that,
yeah, game Boy was dead, and that made me said, I
know a lot of people know this already, but there was a golf There
was a game Boy that survived the Golf War. It was it all looks
charred and blown up, but you could still play it. And it was
at the Nintendo of America's store, And every time I've gone for the last
several years, it's always been there in a case. But then mysteriously it
disappeared and everyone no one would say why, and we assumed that it had
died, but no, it makes sense. They want to put it in
the museum, in the actual museum and not just sat in a in a
retail store. It makes sense. So I'm going to skip the amibo.
We're getting Zelda and Gannon and the kind of like the Amiabombo. Okay,
do you want to do you want to look at the amibo? I think
that. I think it's the end reason. Oh, I think it's interesting
that we're getting too new amibos. Finally, and then not in Smash because
usually the amibo's come from Smash, but these are just two's Day three amibos,
just to have them, just have fun with them. They look great.
And then Sarah is the last Smash Amibo that we don't have, So
now all the Smash amibos are here, everybody's here, and it looks great.
And then Jackson crud did he actually know? I wonder what kind of
licensing they have to go through to get the character for the game, get
the voice actor, get the rights to make figures and like amibos and models
for like another company's franchise. Yeah, there's no way they make money off
of all of that. Like I don't think it. Amibo is gonna make
them anything. I don't know. All right, now we're at F zero
A ninety nine. I think it looks really cool. I mean, it
just looks like the Superintendo game. But then there's a ninety nine people on
the track. Yeah, I mean, you know what they directed little mid
when this is probably the most exciting pot but it really was. It's pretty
exciting to see Nintendo not only mention F zero again because they've been so silent
on the entire franchise, but to see them do something new with it.
I mean I frequently get excited for some of the more retro stuff. Yeah,
well you're a retro guy. They could have done ninety nine anything,
and I'd be like, so this is like completely remade from scratch. It
has to be right because they've added in too many new things. Yeah,
definitely, I mean it's I mean Mario thirty five was, I mean,
they used some assets, but they had to redo everything. Okay, that's
interesting. I wonder what that. I want to see that process of them
remaking one of their old classic as games. I'm pretty sure the physics are
different too in Mario thirty five versus the original. I don't know what exactly
is gonna be different about this game. I mean, to be honest,
the original f zero it's pretty bare bones. There's not much to the game.
Uh, but you are. You got ninety nine people. You got
the ability to zoop ahead of them on like on like a hired track.
You can use your boost get ahead. You lose your boost if you hit
too many other characters, which is interesting because there's ninety nine other people on
the tracks, so you're always gonna be hitting other people. I was gonna
say something, I forgot what it was. Hey, look satisfy gaming with
fifty dollars. Happy birthday, Bob, Oh my god, lunch on me.
Thank you. Okay, dot com Sizzler Baby get fifty percent off.
Not a sponsor, but it works, I mean sometimes not sponsor right now
because skill share is all right skill share. Oh. They also mentioned you
can use oh Nintendo switched online S and S controller. I was gonna say,
do you think this one's here to stay or are they gonna take this
one away as well? They'll take it away, okay, great, well,
Tatris ninety nine still going. That's the only one. Okay, they
Attachris ninety nine they had married at thirty five, they had But pac Man
is pac Man gone? Yes? Oh? What's yeah? Right? I
thought Mario went away because it was part of the celebration and everything, everything
from that celebration went away. I think pac Man ninety nine lasted longer,
but I don't think it's around. Mine just is already downloaded? Am I
crazy? Shut down? Hold on? Oh? Nintendo Bandi and Nintendo announced
that the game will be discontinued on October eighth of twenty twenty three. So
it's still around, but it's about to be shut down. Yeah, it
will go away. Oh crazy, Tetris hunty nine is offline only I didn't
know that about Tetris. So Tetris has gone to Oh oh they're all going
So I think you can bet your bottom dollar that this one's going away.
Thank god we pay for the service. Huh akg zero. I think they've
been waiting a while to type this. Bandle Tale, the one we're about
to watch. You can play it if you want. The League spinoff is
a riot Forge game. Considering how popular your DALs are, I can see
the star Do clone doing well. So they're saying that this game is a
Legal Legends game, also a Star Do clone, and they think it's going
to do well. I do not. I think it's gonna do well,
but it does look cute, and for a League of Legends spinoff game,
there's not what I expected. But also the next game we're gonna see is
a completely different kind of game, and it's also a Legal Legend spinoff game.
This is interesting. So Riot Forage, I guess, is like a
small team that does like smaller indie stuff. I guess, yeah, I
don't. It's so it's such a weird third party publishing label within Riot Games
that compliments Riots research and development program. Okay, because several League Legends spinoff
games now, each one is a completely different style. You'd never know it
was a Legal Legends game or story if it didn't have it on the title.
I remember this Convergence game from I think an Xbox director something, and
that seemed interesting. It's like a two D it looks like the New Prince
of Persia actually looks exactly like it. So the rewindabilities and stuff. I
guess that's taking characters from Legal Legends and just giving them their whole ass own
games. That's cool. I think that's it's it's an interesting idea, for
sure. I don't know how many of them are actually any good. I
don't know this game either. I mean the Legal Legends is another one of
them. Yeah, so I'm saying this is the second one. It's another
Legal Legends game, but this time it looks like Troll and I the video
game, but hopefully better. But again, this is what I mean.
It's like they're all completely different adventures. It's so straight, it's so bizarre.
They're putting a lot of work into these games. Like I guess a
little team of people working on riot games, but like, no, this
seems like a lot of people probably worked on some of these. I mean,
this one looks pretty good, honestly, Like, yeah, I don't
know, it looks charming. I thought Warrio was grabbing her by the throat.
Oh I see that? Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Actually new Warrio wear. We knew about this game, we're seeing more of
it. Yeah, it's a game. Uh. There's a clip pretty quickly
that looks very suspicious of a man playing the game. He's pooping, he's
doing something, he's going for it. I hope this has a demo like
the original because we played the demo, not the you know, the last
Warrio Where game. We played the demo and we're like, oh, this
looks so good, and then we played the game. We're like, that
was just the demo yep. And as the ir rita again funny enough,
doing the exact same thing that brain teaser mister Kawashima's game does, where you
just hold fingers out to do math equations. So honestly, probably don't actually
have to play that one. I've already done it. I mean it looks
good. I mean it looks like Warrio Ware. Nothing that exciting, I
guess. Oh it's Mario. I'm so excited now, Mario three. It's
nice to see these indie games getting big collabs. I can't wait to feign
taking a ship in front of my Nintendo Switch using the ir reader. I'll
play with you. Here's the other two point five D game two D two
D h D two D. Yeah, I mean it looks great visually,
but again it's just like I'm getting a little burnt out on the style.
This is not as impressive as it was initially, but hey, if you
lie, get it's here. Yeah, it's not as unique if everyone's doing
it, it does. It does look pretty cool though, Yeah, it
does look cool. No, I'm definitely not playing. I need to play
Live Alive if I'm going to play anything. So this I like this.
Yeah, am I wrong? Isn't Eastward not a farming game? Yes?
So this is very interesting. So Eastwood is kind of like a Pixel odd
Last of Us story driven game and it was sick and I recommend everyone play
it. This DC is based as kind of spoilers I guess, but it's
based after the game where they're kind of relaxing. They finally found some where
to live and now it's like a little farming sim a little just growing crops
and fishing and all of that. It's a completely separate thing based on their
life after the game, but it is doc that's in the game. And
what's even more interesting is if you like the look of that but you don't
want to play the actual full thing, you can just buy the DC and
play only the DC. Yeah, you can play the DLC without having beating
Yeah, any of the game. You could just jump right into it.
It's a weird, wacky idea, but I kind of like it. Yeah,
No, I think that's really cool to be to have like a completely
different style of game as DLC. That also isn't DLC. It's just a
whole new game. Next is I forgot this game war Groove too? People
like the original war Groove. I people like the original war Groove or do
they only like it because there was no Advanced Wars that was the reason why
it existed. I think I think it was made because it was trying to
fill a gap, which I mean after getting the actual Advanced Wars. I
think it still sits comfortably alongside it. And I'm sure the c quel is
going to be a ton of fun for people. They're not really my kind
of games. I dabbled in wool Groove and I didn't mind it, but
I got burned out pretty quickly. Okay, yeah, interested in this style
of game. It looks cute. It's a very polished game in that genre.
This, on the other hand, I'm actually looking forward to. I
thought this, I mean, this is out on Steam and people were going
nuts about it. People love this game, Dave of the Diver. But
now I guess we're going to get on switch Yeah, getting on old consoles.
Actually, I didn't know it wasn't on consoles yet, and I think
it's a time Switch console exclusive, so it comes to Switch first for a
little bit. I think they said I could be lying. It actually looks
really good. A lot of people are saying it's Game of the Year contender
because of how fun it is to play, which I don't see that while
watching it, but I see the potential for it being fun. You go
diving, you catch fish. It's like a metroid Vania kind of thing down
there, and then when you come up, you use what you catch to
turn into sushi and serve people at a restaurant, which is like, no,
I didn't know. Yeah, it reminds me of Moonlighter, where you
were shop keep and you would go into a dungeon, a tricky dungeon,
and kill things and everything that you find in the dungeon you bring back and
you sell in your shop, and then half the game is like shop selling
and like managing your items and putting prices on stuff, and then the other
half is like a dungeon explorer. So it reminds me of that. Yeah,
that's kind of interesting. I'm interested in that. People really seem to
really like it. Mare Kartate Deluxe booster packs is the last pack of courses.
I'm done with Mario Kart. Yeah, I know, literally no interest.
They showed more characters. At this point, this game has to have
more characters than Smash. They added Diddy Kong, Funky kongu Pea Chet,
and I think one other. I thought they were all in the game already,
just shop. Diddy Kong wasn't in the game already. Oh Pauline Pauline,
Oh okay, that I knew? Was it? Pauline is sick?
Actually it might play for word Pauline. Now I'm saying, why put peachet
and not bows it? Oh? Yeah? Would you play it? If
they added bows that I would not play this game. If they put solid
snake in it? Do you not remember who bows that is? I know
who bows that is? How could I forget who bows that is? I
feel like that just would have swayed you would swayed me. But then but
then it's Mario Kart. I know it is. Can't do it. I
can't do it. I'll watch you play it. If bows that's in it,
I don't want among Us. Of course, I almost thought this was
a new among Us game, because this is a pretty intricate animated trailer.
Yeah, for some reason, I can see why you thought that. As
soon as I saw it, I had a feeling they were just adding in
new levels that won't in a ship, and that's just trying to make it
like you'd see as to like why they're not in a ship anymore. But
I was kind of wrong too, because it's literally just one level. It's
all of this was for one new map in among Us. Yeah, but
I mean, we make fun of it, but so many people are going
to jump back into among Us for this. I kind of feel like that's
not enough at this point, because the game is sort of the people that
play it making it as fun as it is adding them at the map.
You could play on the same map over and over, and I don't think
it would matter. I think people just like among Us a lot, and
they'll take any excuse to jump back in again. Okay, we'll see.
I think this is like the last Legs. I think that they need to
have something new after this if they want to keep the same sort of hype
that they've had. I think among Us a VA was fun. Okay,
that was good. Among Us also a unity game. Oh, that's interesting
for reasons that our chat might not know. We're getting a montage year of
just stuff we knew about already and release dates. Uh and and then we're
winding down, we're like ready to call it. Yeah, that's it.
That was there was nothing else. Well then we get though, we get
the one more thing, right, Yeah, there's one more thing. There's
always one more thing. And this I was stoked because I saw a little
Mario star. You thought it was like, oh my god. I didn't
know what it was. I was like, oh, no, Mario thing.
That's cool, we're getting We're already getting Mario thing. We can't be
getting another Mario thing. Oh wait, it's a thousand year door. There's
a lot of Mario right now. Where the hell is Zelda? He's got
enough, No, Mario's got enough. No. I literally have two Mario
games revealed in this one direct and Mario Wonder is around the corner, and
I feel like there's something else Mario happening soon. We just had the Mario
movie. He just had the big Zelda game. Give us something, let
us have something. Let us have fourteen, let us have fourteen old games,
new my remake? Where's my remaster. Where's my old game? What
old game do you want? Wind Awaker? Twilight Princess, but in that
order please? Anyway, this is a surprise that that's not around. Uh
there. At this point, they know they can milk GameCube games, so
they'll triggle them out. I don't know what the deal is with that.
It's so wild to me. They haven't done it yet. It's because they
really they want to like polish the ship out of it so they can be
like, look, we did work on it, so it would be right.
It would be really cool if, like we do get those wind Waker
in Twilight bolts and they look like completely redone, like completely redone, like
a whole new games Windwaker. I feel like there's not much they could do.
At most it would look like this. It would just be HD I
mean because of associated nature. Yes, but I still think they could.
They could rebuild it in selciated and make it look even better. Anyway,
let's talk about it. Yes, let's talk about the Mario. It's not
been here, man, It's just the same game. It's the same game.
But no, it's the same game. It's wide screen and it looks
brighter and Sharper. Yeah, all right, that's fair. I mean it
is just the same game. What about the bit at the end you're all
excited for that. I don't remember it's happening. I don't know. I
don't know what this is. I have no idea. It's new. No
one knows what it is. Oh. I thought this was a bit from
the game that I just didn't remember, unless I don't unless I'm dumb and
I don't remember what this is. I think this is completely new. This
is something the end of Silent Hill, too, is it not. I've
haven't I haven't played that game. I don't I don't know what that is.
It's coming twenty twenty four. That's content from the original game. Oh,
that's disappointing. It was such like a big thing at the end.
I thought it was like, I don't remember that pot at all. I
don't know. I mean, I'm glad this game is being made available to
people who don't want to pirate and don't want to pay marked up prices to
get it on like eBay or whatever. Making the game available is always good,
but having this be the one more thing is really bizarre. Like,
well, I mean, it just shows that there wasn't anything else. I
mean, that was the one more thing. And the very first thing was
Splatoon Doc that we've already seen. To be honest, as soon as I
saw that at the start, I was kind of like, oh, because
they always start with something new and end with something new, and starting with
something that wasn't new, I was like, well, we're down one already.
And then like the last thing being technically a reveal but also just then
bringing an old game over and charging us for it. And that's the other
thing too, Like, yeah, I'm excited for Paper Mario. A lot
of people that are like this direct was awesome though because of Paper Mario.
Is it? It's awesome because now you have to spend sixty dollars again on
a game that's already available like twenty years ago. Like I get that,
it's cool to see it again, but like you gotta you gotta cub that
nostalgia a little bit and see see the see the what's the expression there's something
through the roses or something, see the forest for the trees? Yeah,
yeah that it. Yeah, I don't know, but I mean they've got
to have all this stuff in the can? Uh, are they really waiting
to release to announce new stuff for the rule? Are they wait waiting to
announce new stuff because of the next switch? Like where's Metroid the Love of
Christ and all that is? Are they gonna be working on wind Waker HD,
That's gotta be a thing that's happening. Why would they hold that?
I mean maybe because Zelda already had a game? I mean I don't know.
After every direct, I always feel a little ill informed still, like,
yeah, a lot of it, I already knew what was happening.
Sometimes you get a couple extra release dates that you've been waiting for, and
then you get a couple extra reveals that are usually for a remake or a
remaster. But I'm always left thinking what is actually happening though? Like what
where are the games we've been waiting for for years, like Mature Prime for
what is happening with the new switch? What is like, what's the next
big thing that's happening. I guess it's right now. It's just wonder.
I mean, yeah, we're we're definitely winding down, and we're definitely they're
holding some good stuff for the for the next console. But like, I
feel like we've been saying that for a while. I feel like we've been
saying for a while, like we've been saying the switches life cycle, everything
will come out on the next one. We've been saying wind down for a
hot minute. I feel like two years we've been saying that. Yeah,
Yeah, I feel like that too. I just sent you a funny tweet
that I saw when I opened up Twitter. Just now, I feel like
I'm losing my mind. I had a different thumbnail to go live with him
for just a normal one, and Bob was like, can we do that
thing where we take your thumbnail and put me into it. I also appreciate
that you fixed my weird tooth, did some did some photoshop work to my
my little, my little nubby tooth. Bub's got a little wonky guy down
there, and it always, it always pokes in when he smiles. It
comes up above the rest. You just you only see that one tooth,
but I I looked like a homeless guy. Yeah it At every thumbnail we've
ever done with you smiling like that, I've always edited out that tooth for
you, but I've never brought it up or mentioned it because I didn't want
to. Just I didn't I guess you were embarrassed about it. And today
I gave you that thumbnail and you will like, did you edit out my
tooth because it's so obvious in the in the picture I sent you. Yeah,
yeah, I mean, yeah, there he is. That's the guy.
It's like you've got a little tic tac in your mouth. You haven't
quite showed all away. Whenever I edit me, I I mean, this
is a vanity thing. A lot of people already noticed, but I always
make my eyes blue. It's it's actually not so much a vanity thing as
I think. It just makes the thumbnails more clickable because my eyes like just
it's just catchy. But now whenever I see me without those blue eyes,
I'm like, I look kind of lame. Contact is pretty Get some super
bright blue contacts? Yeah? Maybe? So. Overall this direct, it's
super duper mid. There was some cool stuff that I'm I'd like to dabbling,
but nothing that like blew me, nothing that woke me up. I
was yawning through the whole thing. I definitely didn't get woken up. Weirdly,
I liked this direct and didn't have too much to complain about, and
I think it was it was mit though, But I think I think it's
I'm in a good mood. I think that's it. I had a lot
of sleep, I woke up in a good mood. I had fun streaming
it. I was happy with Paper Mario. I saw a lot of games
that I like, even if I've already heard of them or seen them before.
It was fine. It was fine. I wasn't I wasn't offended by
it. But I do not think you can say that it was one of
the best ones or even good by any means. No. But we know
why it wasn't that great because yeah, and I was so expectations were in
check. You know, we've said a bunch but tail end of the switch
waiting for the new thing smash is gone when not in the hype period of
three four years ago. It just kind of sucks because we're feeding off of
rumors right now. That's all we had. We haven't had much in the
way of announcements for a long time, so we people have been waiting for
this and we're just still sitting here feeding off of rumors about f zero GX,
about Metroid Prime, about Hollow Nights, Silk Song, about fucking the
Microsoft acquisition of activision and what that means for this stuff that you'd be soft
plus stuff, all of that. There's so much that we're just listening to
reset era about instead of hearing it from the horse's mouth. So yeah,
that's true. True, Like, we get so many of these reveals ruined
in like leads that by the time we actually see them, it feels like
we already knew about it, and then the winds taken out of the direct
sales and then we blame the direct It is also an interesting time period to
be a gamer, and this in tune with what's happening in the gaming space
because this is the first generation of Nintendo consoles that we had constant and frequent
directs like this telling us what's coming and happening all the time. And the
only thing we have to compare these directs to the directs from the start of
the Switches life. So of course it's going to feel like they're tapering off.
It's gonna be really interesting to see what directs are like once the new
console comes out. Like last generation, we didn't get a whole direct telling
us what's coming out and then revealing a remake at the end of it.
We just had a remake come to the console and you just saw it one
day and you were like, Oh, I guess this is on the Wii
now, or this is on the WIU now, or I heard this at
E three, I guess so. I think my prediction is January they're gonna
drop a trailer for the new Switch. Oh you want to do that now?
That's my prediction January. Yeah, m January is usually really dead and
really quiet. When do you think it'll come out then? Because usually they
drop it a few months out. I don't know. You think I have
no idea. You think they gotta do a like an announcement where they're like
standing there on a screen screen and they're like, just so you guys know,
the Switch too is now in development and we expect to see it sometime
in the next year and then that's it. Or do you expect it to
be like, oh and one more thing, and here's this I expect one
day uploaded to the Nintendo YouTube channel. Is gonna be some really pretty people
on a rooftop somewhere playing the Switch to drinking? How are we going to
get there if they don't invite us, Bob, I don't think we're going
to be invited to that. I think. I think it'll be a holiday
next year when we get it in our hands in like November, so I
think that's also likely. But I think that they're running out of stuff for
their big announcements. Oh, they'll drag. That'll drag. They'll figure it
out. They might announce Matroid Prime full or sometime early next year, and
then we'll end up finding out later that it's coming to the next console.
They might want to squeeze some more life out of the current switch to boost
those sales, but they're getting they're gonna be They're gonna be the best selling
squeezing with their revamped consoles at that making. Yeah, by the end of
the holiday, I think they're gonna be the best selling console of all time.
I'm going to predict July when they reveal it. All right, it's
like around that E three time, you know? Okay, all right,
all right, how doing everybody doing? That's it? Dude? Bonus time?
Oh it's I woke up at nine and I have been sat in this
chair reacting to a direct evidence. How's that chair smell? I'm clean?
