Welcome to the Nintendo and I guess season 2 episode 63. We got about this episode plus 6 more left in season 2 before we Change on over to season 3 We are missing someone but don't worry. I'm just restart will be here. He's just running a little late His brother's running late at work. So I am also gonna be right back That's awesome. He's just saying that this whole time. I love you guys I just see the chat and be here for one second So I get bricked up now. I just need to use the bathroom. I'll be right back to get bricked down Drop the brick quick. All right That being said we have some special guest here today Cap Richardson and Nick would know okay Welcome back to the podcast guys. Thank you for having me back. Yeah. Are you talking cap? Cuz I you're muted or something Yes, I was muted Oops But thank you for having me happy to be here. Well, I'd have you guys back on it's been a while. It has. Yeah Too long too long. Well, we'll start the show with how we always start what we've been playing lately And since I have no idea what you guys are even doing with your life cap. I'll start with you What have you been playing lately? Oh, you know, I just finished a playthrough of Prince of Persia the Lost Crown Really really great game really good Metroidvania. I liked it And I've been playing links awakening actually a classic throwback Zelda. So Yeah, that's that's what I got Nice nice nice Let's see, Nick wouldn't okay. What are you been playing lately?  So I've been having a lot of fun with persona 3. It's my first time playing that game So it is all new to me And I'm like really taking my time and just going through that and then I also Just started doing a livestream Playthrough of Minecraft. I'm going back to like do survival mode because I really I've been on a Minecraft kick and I'm like I Kind of want to live stream it too because it could be fun because I've never played the Java version before Which I know has like all kinds of different stuff compared to bedrock. So Minecraft and persona. That's that's what I've got All right, Minecraft and persona. That's a very interesting combo. I love it And some fortnight here and there or whatever I feel like it. Oh, see there we go. We got the trifecta Only one of those games the chat might not cringe.  It's all unbricked now. We keep things unbricked Keep things unbricked. Yeah Easier to get bricked if it's unbricked.   Eric, what are you been playing lately, man? I played through the demo of Princess Peach and that was actually a whole lot of fun And then I went back to light root hunting. So I think I'm at like 95 right now something like that Did you complete the all the cakes? I could all the cakes. I didn't that complete I didn't get all of the the cookie ones kind of got me. I wasn't sure what I was doing at first Okay, and it was a cookie cookie part of the demo. I got easy through the cakes through that last one I got the last one. I don't I don't I got I didn't get the I made out of gotten the Chocolate one where he had to make like that funky like angel bell shape thing.  Then again, I dominated the cookie portion. So if you combine Eric and I together, we're both we failed We know we 100% of the game Just a demo of course, yeah, I don't even take a transfers into the final game anyways All right, cool. Jake if you were playing anything lately, are you just being too? Been playing with myself That means single-player game just get your head out of the gutter I've been playing actually the I've been finally playing the teal mask DLC so I just started just started that and Oh, I think I was playing something else too Can't remember but I know we wanted to keep this part short. So I've been back to Pokemon surprise surprise but Yeah, it's gonna check cool Let me see. I'm playing actually quite a bit lately Still a little bit of Final Fantasy 7 revert just a little bit further into it because here's the thing I'll let the list of a bunch of stuff. I've been doing we finished off our 100% run of a George mask. Let's see we did Start Hogwarts legacy today hadn't played that game yet, and I'm having a damn good time playing on switch by the way Don't come at me. I know it's significantly better on the other platforms, but I will say It actually is pretty damn good on switch. I understand like the the loading part I can get what they can bug some people. I don't know. I grew up with load screen So it doesn't really matter the game actually looks visually better than I expected on switch Everyone active like you were playing a Nintendo 64 game. It is not that it's actually pretty good looking It's actually one of the better looking games on switch about the series the thing once you play the other versions You realize how much better looking it can be on top But they I think they did a pretty good job porting it lots of framerate issues though If you can't handle frames dipping into like the 20s You might you might not work well for you, but thankfully the game doesn't require that much precision So it ends up not bought at least so far I'm like, you know two three hours in it doesn't require too much precision. All the cutscenes are fantastic It's a heavy story game. So you spend a lot of time in cutscenes. Anyways so I'm having a good time with it and and Hogwarts itself is amazing and they really fully realize that place. It's great. Love it and Then let me see It's a madden of course just just need to shout that out. I'm nine and one in my league There were things might be the Super Bowl year, baby I'm I do the thing is thing is I am the chargers.  Oh the chargers they have a screwed cap situation in real life They cut Mike Williams for it. Well in the game I traded Mike Williams and I traded Justin Herbert and say get off my team We're running the Dishon Watson show now, baby, seven year deal. That's really interesting. Let's talk about video games. Yes It's a video. I've never felt more lost in a conversation And I'm talking about what I'm doing When I was talking about getting bricked up that resonated with you that more well, no, but more than Anything to do football. Look, I'm Canadian. Okay. We don't do the football Yeah, but but who cares Yeah Maybe I don't have taught to enough Canadians to know if they actually care about anything to do with Canadian football The next thing you do is all former Americans that move to Canada go into the game. There's a lot of those There's a lot of those so I just don't play them time to exodus the country. Um, all right Besides that, I don't have any other games.  There's one more I could have talked about but you know what we're not gonna sit here and talk for 45 minutes on this I mean, I just we sort of come in and pull up a little something at some point But yeah, I do want to note that we do have a sponsor for the channel this month Ora if you guys are curious and checking out Ora We haven't pinned in the comment Especially if you're in the United States because it's United States sponsorship.

We can hang out more So that's why I like to shout out to them I got that all sorted out had go get a new social security waiting for in the mail It is what it is. All right guys Let's go ahead and dive into our very very first topic kind of light topics this week, but look As this hasn't there switch attached these nuts look guys. There's been a supposed rumored leak It's not really a rumor. It actually happened. It's a survey that YouTube ran on You know the other day over the weekend or so that asked Hey, which console would you prefer to buy and it said PlayStation 5 Xbox series X and then switch attach which switch Attach is not a no name of any switch device and the interesting part of course and this is where people start to maybe think man Why should we believe this could just an AI generator could have been some stupid bullshit Who cares they're just making it up make it a guess like everyone else will switch to you are correct outside of two instances One the Nintendo switch OLED name actually leaked from a YouTube survey before it was announced So they literally had it if something I came over the question was and one of the options was Nintendo switch OLED edition which is exactly what it's actually called. It's called OLED edition if you actually look at the manual So it's like okay, so they actually leaked this thing before a prior version of switch through the same method and to if you remember there's those old rumors about how they were supposed to reveal it this month and Nintendo might have bought advertising space for it originally and pulled the ad space because they're pushing it back But maybe YouTube planned the survey for after the reveal and then they just never took the survey down on their back end And that would be how YouTube would actually that's the biggest thing Why would YouTube know the name well because Nintendo buys advertising through YouTube and YouTube's got to manually approve all of that So they would have been aware of it if Nintendo was buying advertising space So that's basically how that all goes together and the big question is one Do we think they actually leaked the name or at least what the code name or whatever? Nintendo was gonna reveal it as and to do we like it and three if it isn't it Then what the hell do we want this thing to be called and if it is it what does it mean? What does it imply? So switch attach real fake, what are we talking about? I'm gonna say I I want it to be fake but I'm gonna say real just because Like you mentioned about the like the OLED model leaking ahead of time. It's like if it's happened once It gives it a little more credence. I want it to be fake because I don't like it But I've also been hearing I've also been hearing Nintendo switch to for like the last three years. So I'm kind of just attached to that name So, I don't know You that you could go a lot of places with attached, but you don't know it's just dumb and I don't Code name or internal code name or something like that and not a final name But part of what casts sort of doubt on it is the lack of Nintendo branding Like it just says I have seen the image of the survey just a switch attach Whereas Nintendo whenever they do any marketing or branding with with the switch. It's always Nintendo switch not just switch Yeah, that's what sounds real accessory Well, that thing is that what I really don't like about it is it doesn't sound like clear enough about is it a successor or an accessory? And and it would be like naming this successor to the Wii that Wii U, right? I could would think he would think to do that. So So I just yeah, I I'm not optimistic. I really hope that that's not the case I just think it's the worst name and it does it does not communicate clearly what the console is. So Yeah, yeah, that's it switch to honestly as lame and and redundant as it sounds I like legit think switch to it would just be a better name because at least you'd know what it is, right? Yeah, but doesn't we see it and what they show is that the switch to Has a ton of attachments and that's why it's called switch Yeah, I guess but you could already Like I kept thinking why would if this is the name why the hell would they call it that I mean We had a patent before about a possible detachable screen So like okay, maybe you can optionally buy a second screen that attaches to it And then you get your like your DS 3ds kind of NSO stuff and maybe some other unique gameplay gimmicks You know, maybe there's more than joy cons you can attach to the thing now Maybe there's other weird accessory things which takes us back to the Wii era of all the billion accessories for that So I mean look there's a bunch of possibilities if the name is attached I just don't know why you would call it that Well, yeah, and my thing is like any youtuber that would make a clickbaity video like Implying that that could possibly be the new name just irresponsible Probably like an unattractive person as well. Just this is just you know Hypothetically speaking 1,000% true by the way. That's kidding. I would a hundred percent get picked up by them She can get picked up by them, but I don't even know who you're talking about. So anybody on this show Assuming you made a video about it. I don't even know if you did Yeah, of course I did So yeah, I saw the survey myself it popped up on my phone and I didn't really feel I needed to take a screenshot There was already a very public one out there.  Oh, well It's not very Nintendo like well Nintendo didn't make a survey including PlayStation 5 and Xbox. I was Nintendo or just our YouTube that did that so That would be why they probably just drop the Nintendo just to make it shorter when they're making the survey Look more attractive on the survey because everyone like I know we all attach a Nintendo switch and titles and stuff But no one says Nintendo switch on it. Can we run a poll in the chat? I mean, yeah, not what you think would be the next switch name But what would you want and the choices are? switch to Okay, hold on. Let me type it up. Just that just switch to those are the Switch attach Super Nintendo switch everyone wants super Nintendo switch You have four options and the last one the Nintendo brick Sounds like a concept idea for sure. Yeah sure. Oh my Nintendo bricked. That doesn't sound good Dude, I'd buy that all day. Yeah, there's a whole new meaning to the term switch brick Let's see what the people want me a motor touch to the full I Don't know if I want to vote legit or if I want to vote the meme Who says it's a meme? That's legit Legit look, I don't want my current switch to be bricked. It's the next one. Honestly, what's crazy is the zero percent for the switch Attach that's what That's real That should be the biggest thing people would rather meme name it then call it switch Attach oh You were you were waiting so long to vote on that you're not special Watch it. Watch it start coming ahead. Watch this start coming ahead. Let's catch it up.   It's actually a worse selling handheld Hey, you know, maybe that wasn't such a great name You know, you could have called it nintendo ds2 and it still had the 3d function And it might have did better because here's the funny thing about numbers and I know they're super boring But the consumers are used to numbers representing the next thing Every device does it guys. Look, I have the iphone 14 pro max What do you think the next iphone after the 15 is going to be called the iphone 13? Yeah to 13 we're going to count down now. Well, yeah, like unless it was They did they like skip one and then they skipped like nine and then went to 10. They went to yeah Yeah, they did that that's right. We can't put it pass them 16 might be too bricked. They need to go straight to 17 Anyways, but it'll still be a bigger number So there is that like every device does that all of our phones do that all our computers do that all the even computer components You know goes from like 1100k to 1200k 1300 1400 same with the amd stuff Same with pretty much every single thing we have out there besides revisions of Of a platform and revisions are different because they're not meant to be a new generation But every time there's like a new generation it always just goes up in numbers And look, I hate saying this but there's one video game company that has consistent generation sales Generation for generation sales and they've been using numbers since the second one And of course, this is a playstation you can pretty much guarantee every playstation is going to sell 100 million plus The only one that did it number since the first one The first revision Yeah, I suppose you could say that But I you can say that because it's true. I know but I don't call it a ps1. I just call it a playstation Right and then the revision was called the ps1 and that's what was written on it. See how we come with the revision I'm talking about the launch But you're cut. Yeah, but the first one to be numbered was the ps1. Okay. Yeah, you got me there Technically correct both were technically correct, but you were correct about which one was Shut up with that Because when I originally launched it was just called playstation. Let's say it He Anyway, he will fight this to that Jake. Well, we were both right. I know Your original statement was the first one because they started doing it from the second one Which was well, I meant I meant that I meant that from the very beginning What you said, I actually just realized something about the subject The second one Anyways Um, but no, like my point was that look I'm not saying that Sony gets a home run with every platform But it's just look their lowest selling home console using numbers is 80 million Which would have been before the Wii nintendo's best selling home console. So like Nintendo take note like it's okay to just be lame and call things a number because Consumers understand if I only switch and they just hear the word switch 2 is launched they go.  I need my new switch. My switch is out of date I need the new one. Well, here's the thing.  How exactly Will it have a handle that's Yes, that's your next gen system. You can attach anything to your face. I can attach my grandmother to my face. All right, but you should not do that. Maybe maybe it's the switch attack because you're supposed to be. No, that doesn't work. I was going to say like attaching with others, like connecting and. Playing in person, I swear they try to say we're supposed to attach to our friends. I'm going to have a real problem with that, Marguerite. Make some attachment right quick.  Actually, no, no, no, no. What rule go back to code rules? What are like, hey, mom, can I go attached with my friends? We need to separate. OK, Mario. So reminds me of when I was younger, my mom used to think the term hooking up meant like meeting up and hanging out with people. So she constantly asked me if I was hooking up with my friends. And I'm like, mom, you need to stop saying that. Maybe your mom's just like really like, all right, no, I won't make sense. No, let's not. I'm sorry. Um, what's it called?    And it's like, who told you that? Well, lots of love after somebody somebody died. Yeah. Oh, God. Andres, how are you, man? It's nice to see you. Hey, yeah, it's been a little bit. I'm doing good. I'm going to get back from what? What?  Oh, boy. Oh, yeah. But there was a comma. Yeah, the comma, the comma is the clearest thing. But everyone even spawn wave. Everyone responded. It's like, yeah, that's not that's I mean, I saw I didn't I didn't respond to it, but when I saw it, I didn't see the comma at first. Like so it wasn't. And the funny thing is he's an older guy.  I don't think he did it intentionally for attention. No, I think he's senile. Well, because he's talking about he's obviously talking about the Cowboys. But no, if you there's no Cowboys mentioned in it. And they didn't make a move in free agency day one.  I'm like, dude, that is not the tweet that is not the tweet to make. Oh, man, I hope that I'm never like drunk enough someday that I just drop something like that on Twitter and I wake up the next day with 10 billion retweets and everyone trolling me.  I mean, it's kind of already happened.  No, but you said some really weird stuff in the past on different places and you've definitely been like, that gets me bricks. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.   I'll give you that. Yeah. What? Unless he's on the wing, right? I just say, I will. Audio listeners capped winking a little too much. All right. How you get unbricked. So. Whoa. So as I just researched over there, having his post-workout snack or meal or whatever the hell he's chowing down. It's it's I've already had dinner. This is dinner at 1.5 and then I'll have dinner 2.0 after the show. Nice. Three dinners. It's snack. Yeah, but I didn't have breakfast, so. OK, well, I was going to go to you because we were talking about the stamp switch attached to him and I have purposely not watched any of your videos because I'm like, I don't want to just like just start repeating what you're saying. Like, what are you thinking about this weirdness? So. If you look at my channel, right? Typically, if there's like a big switch to rumor, I'll like do a lot of research, right? And it'll probably be like a try to make him comprehensive. Yeah, this is a this is a three minute video that I made in like an hour. If not, if even that, in part, because of timing, you know, my grandma's been sick and stuff like that.  But someone else is dying anyway. Sorry. But. I just didn't think it was that serious, right? I thought it was worth mentioning, but I didn't want to put too much heat on it, right? So that's why it's a three minute video as opposed to like a 15 minute video, right? That all said, I mean, I'm not saying it can't be real.  Sometimes it's true, but other times it's not. So it's one of those things where like it might be. And I think it's odd because you look at attach and it definitely kind of gives you like Wii U vibes in the sense like it's literally swimming. Hey, I'm a peripheral or an attachment, which was part of the Wii U problem. An only part, though, right? Because I think let's say hypothetically, Nintendo did do this. I don't think they will. I'm going to go out on a fat limb and say that it's not the actual name. But maybe it's a placeholder. Maybe it's a code name.  We're not sure. Right. But let's say it is hypothetically speaking. I don't think it's the it's like it spells the end for for Nintendo's like marketing of Switch 2, because they didn't market Wii U well. They didn't brand it well. Had they come out and they marketed it at the right audience, if they had a killer lineup from the gut go, if they really sold us on what it was, the bad name and the confusion, they would have. They would have been fine, right? Like imagine if Wii U launched with Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey in the first like six months, and they targeted the system for 20 to 30 year olds and it had some cool three party games like Skyrim. It wouldn't have. It would have done a lot better than it did, but it didn't. They did that with a switch. So I kind of think that, you know, regardless of what name they choose, they're going to be fine. I think they're going to market it towards the 20, 30s and 40 year olds as they did with Switch. And then after the first couple of years, then they'll start branding for smaller kids so they can reach a larger audience as they're done with Switch, they're going to have the games. It's going to be a better system. So I'm not worried in terms of a success perspective. Maybe it'll take a minor hit if they choose attach, but also Nintendo has been successful with dumb names before like Nintendo Wii, for example. You could even argue that with Switch, when we first heard it, it wasn't like, oh, that's amazing. There was definitely like a little bit of a transition period for us to kind of sort out what it was. And even when it was rumored, right? Like when we just heard about like the Eurogamer reports, some of us didn't want to believe it because it didn't make sense. But once Nintendo started marketing it and showing and branding it to us, we were like, oh, this kind of works, right? So even if it is a name, I'm going to wait until Nintendo actually like shows their cards themselves before I really draw conclusions. But I'm going to guess it's probably not the name just because it doesn't the YouTube survey thing. I think it's a chance it's a leak, but most likely it's something else. OK, I'll say I wasn't ever confused about Switch, but that's me because the first time I heard the name was when they revealed the reveal trailer, which literally the guy is playing on a CD and then literally grabs it out of the dock and goes on a walk with the dog. Oh, he just switched to a new form. Oh, I mean, I was I'm on the same side as you, right? Like I figured it out during the three and a half minute trailer. Yeah, it was very obvious, a very clever marketing. Now, like, oh, my figuring it out phase, getting used to it phase was two minutes, not three months. Yeah, it was pretty easy. The rumors on it being a hybrid and stuff that people were kind of like, oh, it makes sense for them. Does it? How does that even work? You can't have it didn't really click until we saw the trailer. Yeah. Oh, God, please don't make the new console called Switch. Click. No, please don't make it. Yeah, this click would probably explode. Actually, yes, that's true. What do you see by that? Yeah, wait, her audience would grow more. So I mean, she would gain a larger viewership in terms of people, quantity of people. Not size of the people. Oh, why do you say that? Are you sure her viewers wouldn't literally explode? You know what I don't like where this is going. This is what happens when Jake Rondo like tries to start a conversation with me. It ends up going down a very slippery slope. It's a fun ride. It's always a good time. You know, like once we're at the bottom, we're like, whoa, that was a ride. Let's do it again. Yeah, exactly. Oh, you guys. OK, well, it's interesting. Let's say that this was the name. What do we why would it be the name? Like what what does it mean? What's the point of it? Just just entertaining the thought of it. Well, I mean, I think the first thing comes to mind is a patent we saw, right, where there is a two screens and the attachment that you can take off, which doesn't seem like something that's financially feasible without making it a really expensive system. And it's moved the second screen in the box. That's expensive. Well, if there's two screens, like if we're talking about like two eight inch, like the panels, that's way more than that. And we're still we're talking about a handheld. That's going to have new raw power around PS4 level, like, I don't know.  They don't include any of that anymore. You already have it. It's got a progressive, like removing things one generation at a time. So this one they will include a little bit separate. It's separate. Yeah. I would like there's no charging port for the console. There's no dock. I know we're joking. Oh, why are the G charging now? Yeah, I know we're joking. But like this is only possible if they're having like frequent releases of hardware, which they're not. Like when we had one, we look at those handhelds, when they have multiple revisions per generation, you do see them take off the charger from the box, right? But that's because they've released multiple versions of the system per generation. We're talking about next generation console. That's not going to happen. Apple releases like five phones per year. So, you know, they can get away with that. Yeah, they have a can. Man, there's a there's I think if they use the name attached, it's it's going to be for more than just a possible optional second screen that you could buy. I feel like it would just there would be other ideas. This would be kind of like, if you remember the Wii days, they had a ton of different accessories. And while we have a bunch for for Switch, you don't have a lot of official ones, I feel like maybe this could start like a whole line of like official attachments besides just a screen. I don't know what those attachments would be. Obviously, Nintendo's the creative geniuses. What if it's as simple as, hey, we didn't put a camera on it, but we do sell a camera and we have a USB C port on top now and you can just attach a camera and now you get AR capabilities right with the system. But it's an optional thing that you just attach to it. And they start to just advertise a bunch of different accessories like that that are all optional because it keeps the base system way cheaper to sell those as their own thing.  Yes, like that doesn't it's weird. My concern then is that developers both inside and outside of Nintendo on the software side wouldn't use any of them. Like any of the accessories because they'd be like, oh, well, most people probably don't have this was we were we motion was we motion plus used. It was originally an accessory. So it launched way far into the console's life cycle. Right. And while they did, I bring it up because then one of the big games they used at Skyward Sword came bundled with it because I know that's what I'm saying. Bundle it in with the game as an option. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, the third party developers won't touch any of it, though. Exactly. Yeah, one of the third party days to be clear, I don't think I don't care what they're doing there. They say we already gave you a powerful enough system to do ports. Is that good enough? And you're not satisfied. Last game to use the the IR camera on the Joy-Cons. There was something once you switch, but I don't remember what it is. Oh, Labo used it. Labo used it, but I think there's other games that use it. I think there's even indie games that use it. I'm sure there is. I'm sure, but also our niche. Yeah, no, I know. I've never seen a couple that's built right in, not sold separately. Did the game build the garage use it? Game Build the Garage is awesome, by the way. I never had it. Ring Fit Adventure uses it to track your heart rate. Oh, you're right. Yeah, right. Ring Fit does. That's probably that's probably one of the biggest uses because that's a huge, really cool. Yeah, it's a great use of it. All the Labos use it, obviously. Those are all Nintendo games. Game Builder Garage, Spy Alarm. Game Builder Garage does use it, right? Yeah, Game Builder Garage uses it. Resident Evil Revelations. Spy Alarm, forgot about that one. Resident Evil Revelations uses it for a reload. So you cover the sensor and it reloads your gun. That's neat. My console, that could be a button press, though. My concern is that that's that's a function that's built right into the controller that comes with the console, right? You don't need any accessories. So and no one uses that or very. There are very few use cases for it. Here's another big use of it. Your accessories have to be sold separately. Ninjala. No developers are going to touch them. Those are Ninjala. Yeah, I'm sure everyone's here, you know, play through Ninjala, plenty of time. Dude, it's not like 12 million players on Switch. What are you talking about? Yeah, a Switch exclusive game, a huge game. I am all 12 million of those players. I'm huge. Yeah, you just mean you bought it. You see your body in the game. I get it. All right. It was no, no, I've been going to the gym. I am big now. Oh, here we go. That's what he's grown. You might say he's exploded. And vitamin, vitamin connection, some indie game uses it as well. So brain training. Yeah, it's it's used to interact with a maze mechanic to get distance calculations, apparently. And then the other big game, the big brand name game would be brain age. That one uses it too. So anyway, so there are some very done grasping. I want I'm just pointing out that, like, there are games that use it just because it's not like. There are. There are like 11,000 Switch games in existence. And we have like maybe 10, like 12 games that use this thing. But that's what they're saying on that. But see, when you're proving no cap is like, look, there might only be 10 games that are going to use that attachable camera, but there will be those 10 games. The market is a very Nintendo thing. Do let me ask you a question. Rarely anyone uses them. Asking their question, though, of those 10 games, if there wasn't the IR camera, would they still exist? And I think the answer is yes, across the board. Yeah. Resident Evil would just make it a button test to reload. Yeah. So you want to switch from exist. Once you switch to be out of here, they would have different games, different mini games. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. It would be more challenging. I got it. More Kyle Malkin. Wait, it's also a terrible game. So maybe a attach is referring to that. And this, I don't know, maybe they'd never do this. Is they're going to put a game in the box so it has a high attach rate. That's a funny one. That's hilarious. I think it probably is something to go back to packing in a game. Yeah. Good luck. That's a one day. Some video game manufacturer packs in a game called Fudge with their console. Hell, yeah. No, why? Attach. I just want to start packing. They get what I'm working in that way. And they call them attaches. So you're attaching your attach. Because that makes a whole lot of sense. Can you imagine you brought a console though there's actually like a chocolate bar in there you could eat. That would be kind of neat. So you buy a brand new one from the back of the store 10 years from now. And it's like, 10 year old chocolate thing going at the rest of our might be worth millions at that point. Right. I think it lasts like the second hand market would be insane. Team up with these on the market. Perfect marketing chocolate still in package. You want to market pack a feastable in. We're good. It's like the Metroid Prime to demo cookies. You know, that's a real thing. That is a real thing. Yeah, I have to take one now. You have one. There is somebody. I tons like I won't suggest I mean, I won't watch anymore. I will watch a video of someone eating one of those today.  Jake, if you're listening to me, you're the only one.  I need a boil, right? I can put up my only fans. There you go. And your audience will grow. So is it true that you have like four ways in one? Don't look these last for a really long time. I think the outside, yeah. Like the cream will still look fine, but it gets hard. But the outside lasts like the preservatives and nothing lasts like forever. I'm just going to say anything. It's kind of like the McDonald's burger. You get one cooked and it just still looks the same in like 10 years. I must say you should eat it. There's definitely something wrong with it. I'm going to move on. You're the one that brought the Twinkies. Have you guys ever heard of me this time? Yeah, I was talking about being fresh, though. We're talking about unfresh. Well, you know, we were talking about unfresh, about you were saying how long Twinkies last and I was just noting that they actually don't like if you're talking about being fresh, it actually doesn't stay fresh. Anyway, shelf life for 25 days. There you go. Yeah, but that's not accurate. Here we go. How many Twinkies are you shoved in your hole? Oh, no. I don't know how many people are on the planet.  Nine billion or something. There you go. That's a rough estimate. I mean, rough. Oh, boy. Um, all right. Well, it's a little sponges. They're actually a delight. Jesus, right. Yeah. So we all prefer to be called switch to. All right. Yeah. Switch a tap. T T T. Before we go to the next time, we literally have a two topic. I mean, yeah. Oh, and Eric hasn't said anything yet. So oh, I thought he was talking the whole time. Yeah, you know, like I always do. Talking too much. Yeah, for sure. I want to go back on record and say that I have said this for a long time about this generation being about attachments. I would still think it should be called switch to. But if they want a cutesy name, they can play with the spelling of the word to and do either T. Oh, or T. Oh, and whichever one is grammatically, I never get at that. But you'd still be referring to it as the switch to. So it makes it verbally. It sounds different. It still sounds like switch to. But you're switching to VR. You're switching to AR. You're switching to camera.  That's a really good idea. If the switch to is basically like Rob, but it transforms all the time. Sometimes it's the robot that serves you drinks and popcorn. Sometimes it's a Nintendo gaming system. Sometimes it's a rocket ship. Like that would be what's the name of that robot from the Jetsons. Rosie Rosie, yeah. Yeah, Rosie does like all those things. I just want a box. I just want a box to plug into my TV and play Zeldon. Yeah, that's all I want. I want to play with a toy. I just want to play with the ones. Wait, Cap, are you saying that you don't want a hybrid console? Actually, no, no, the hybrid form factor of the switch is great. But I still want to tablet because you can put in a box. So what you're saying is you want to.  I don't you want to attach it to your TV. I have people. I don't live. Actually, wait a second. I don't need to fill that void with three words or it's actually. Do we ever think about that?  So is it attached to via HMI? Yeah, that's what it has to Nintendo to be like, we're going with a streaming stick and I'll just be like, I four hundred dollar streamies. No, did we learn nothing from Stadia? Did we learn nothing? That's on Google for not having Google Stadia actually work. You didn't fail. Stadia worked, but no one wanted it because it didn't have Nintendo games. Yeah, it had games that you can buy for like, you know what happened? You have different and no one don't own that you can't download that you can't take anywhere. And they take them away when the service ends. So without you charging you for a service, charging you for the individual game. So pay us $70 for Assassin's Creed for the privilege of streaming it until we tell you you can't stream it anymore. That was the problem. It needed to be a service that you subscribe to like Game Pass that you just get to keep playing as long as you're subscribed. And they didn't do it that way. They went with stupidly expensive full price games in a streaming space. Nobody else does it that way. By the way, they were the only people doing it that way.  But it worked streaming wise. You just want to talk about the technology. Stadia is the best example of game streaming almost being ready because it worked even in coffee shops at 1080p. It's crazy. A good Stadia was worked, but that doesn't mean that I want that. That's all you do. I don't want it. I want to buy it. But you know that kind of want to take a box home with me and I want to put the little thing into my game box and play the game that way. I'm sorry to bring this news yet. I think in about 20 years, there won't be physical games. And I'm sorry. I'll tell you that. Not my fault, by the way. It's not my fault. I'll give you a full on bond. I don't give a. Dude, I'm here for a short time and a bad time. All right. I'm not worried about it at all. Do you say that because of the impending cookie eating that's going to kill you? Is that is that why? I mean, it's something if it's not that something is not the cookie. I think it was a lot of shenanigans, my guy. Yes, that's not that. It's going to be. It's going to be the infamous Wisconsin. Underneath me is the moist version of this terrible. But if if game streaming does take off, Nintendo will be the last company to adopt it. They're not forward thinking enough for that. They're not progressive enough in their in their technological or business practices. They barely have online functionality working. Do we really expect them to to come out swinging with a streaming stick? I do. No, I don't. I don't think I really don't speak. That would be the best. How to be the best streaming stick of all time. I would like to see if you can learn USP ports. Where do they exist? Like it just also the switch wouldn't be able to overclock. Then you would have to.  And then that's just it just it's it's not it's not clean. I don't think it's dirty. It's dirty. What is that? Can I just tell my car insurance story? All right, because he's talking about Nintendo not being progressive. Yeah, I'm not. Is it about progressive insurance? Yeah, I was trying to buy car insurance the other day and the guy asked me what color my car was. And I was like, whoa, I thought you were progressive. Oh, you've got to be kidding me. What what do we do? That was a lot of build up for that. I don't even do I even I'm a lot of words. It's where you make me speechless. Rare.  Did you get a chance to try the Princess Peach demo?  I live streamed me 100 percenting it. Oh, you 100 percented it. I came really close. So impressive. Yeah, those two levels so hard, so challenging. Man, can't wait to not buy the game. Yeah, it's OK to play it. I don't I don't feel I actually think the levels are fun. I think the game has really nice animation work. But I also have zero like interest in paying sixty dollars to do more of that. I don't know. It's not for me. I'm I'm not a six year old child. I don't know. I mean, listen, you can people. There are a lot of people who can like Princess Peach Showtime. It's not for me. I've been playing over the ring instead and I, you know, wait, I didn't I didn't actually play the demo yet. What is it about it that like isn't appealing to you? Like describe like how the game I it's not it's not that it's not appealing to me it is, but it's not appealing enough to me.   OK, yeah. No, I mean, it's cool. It's just. I don't know. Like a lot of the game is very. Like, for example, the first level. The timing is extremely easy to do like a dodge. Like you don't really feel like you are like an easy game. It's extremely easy. Yeah, now that said, like, for example, I haven't played Yoshi's the Yoshi's Crafted World, but I'm more likely to buy Yoshi's Crafted World and that game is also supposed to. What about like Kirby Star Allies? I played the demo and decided it wasn't worth buying. Yeah, so based on when you compare those demos, which one was better? Just trying to gauge where this lands. I don't know. I feel like this game is better based off memory. OK, but I mean like in that neighborhood kind of. So the reason why I feel like Princess Peach Showtime is more interesting than at least Kirby Star Allies is because it's it's based off Peach. It's it's not something that they have really done. They mean there was a huge game for DS, but otherwise, you know, Peach is kind of its own thing and there's variety to the game play because every level is just different powers and abilities and many games. But they're all very simple, but they're fun. It's kind of almost like Mario Party with a narrative. That's kind of how I felt when I was playing playing. But yeah, it's cool. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. It's just not for me. Yeah, I don't know.  It's fine. I played the demos one. I just felt it was very like it was just like good, but not great. Like like it was it was like a. Do you think it's possible that like later in the game, it's like a Mario game where like the beginning levels are super easy. But then there's levels that are like really challenging. Do you think this can be that kind of thing is that like when you play like with the first level of Mario Wonder, even if it's like super easy, you're like, oh, I get the charm of it. Like I get what, you know, and you kind of missing that. And you can also get lost in the mechanics of Mario Wonder. Like you play the game and there's a lot more level of interaction you have with the world. Like you can just have fun running around with Princess Peach Showtime. You can do some things, but it's it's relatively simple. It there was nothing like wrong with it. It just like wasn't great either. It just was good. I will say that I'm getting a better picture. I appreciate it. One thing I will say that's worth noting, at least in my opinion, Peach can slide down rails.   That's it. The game has some charm. Yeah, I just don't feel like spending $60 on it. Yeah. All right. Well, speaking of Princess Peach Showtime, next, we're going to be talking about all of the 2024 stuff because we did some Mario Day stuff, Mario Movie 2. We have, well, maybe Mario Movie 2 could be something else. We have the entire lineup from Nintendo. Anyways, from what we were aware of anyway, set for the first half. We're talking about that and the second half in a moment because again, as I mentioned at the beginning of the stream, this is sponsored by Aura.  So stay tuned. Oh, one morning out of curiosity, I decided to Google my name expecting the usual links to my social media, YouTube channels, all of that stuff and maybe a few mentions on some websites here and there.  I'd never heard of before. Suddenly, I wasn't just a content creator. I was an open book. My kids' names, their ages, even their school information were all laid bare under my name. My family members' details, my parents, my grandparents were no exception and to my horror, my private phone number was also floating out there. Now, I'm no stranger to the internet spotlight, but I had naively believed that some part of my identity remained private. That belief was shattered when a search for my fiance's name revealed our home address. How is it that such personal details are easily accessible by anyone with internet access? This wake up call led me to Aura, the sponsor of today's video. Aura shows me exactly which data brokers had my information and automatically submits opt-out requests on my behalf.

I had to go get a new social. So kind of crazy. I'm glad I know about it because it explains why I seem to get audited every year on my taxes. Now I know why because someone else is trying to use my my stuff. So that that was really bad for me. But hopefully there's nothing that bad is going on for you guys. Doesn't hurt to check it out. Check out the free trial. Don't like it.  I don't care. Still helps out the channel. All right, let's go ahead and get into this next topic because we were just talking about Princess Peach Showtime. Let's dive in on the first half of 2024 and then what we think might happen in the second half because the first half seems set now that we had Mario Day this last Sunday, they gave us dates. They gave us dates for the two already announced games from last year that we didn't have dates for. So just to go over what we already knew, Princess Peach Showtime comes up this month on the 22nd. Is anyone here buying it at all? No, crickets. OK, did you see that Nintendo announced that Mario Kart's getting bricked up next year? Yes. Oh, man, all bricks. I can't wait. Oh, God, all the bricks, bro. Oh, yeah. Official collaboration, Nintendo and Lego. Megan Martin. Oh, yeah, 2025. That's also led to people speculating that they might pair that with a game, a certain game potentially here that might be used to defend like a decade. Lego. There you go, Mario Kart Lego. I just double break it next year. There we go. So we obviously have endless ocean luminous that they announced in the last partner showcase that's coming out May 2nd, 2024. That is a Nintendo published game. And then the two big ones, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, got a got a date. It is also coming out in May on the 23rd. And Luigi's Mansion 2 is coming out in the first part of summer here on the 27th. I'm actually going to be on a cruise when this comes out. So we'll see if I pick that up while I'm on the cruise. It's going to be pretty interesting. And that's all of the currently announced games from Nintendo. They all have dates besides well, Metroid Prime 4, if we want to say technically, it's been announced, but still TBA, they didn't even say it's coming this year yet. So we don't know if it's 2024. They haven't said anything. It's just a game that's been announced. So it's just listed as TBA. Technically, the status hasn't changed officially. Can I ask you guys, like, where do you guys stand on Prime 4? Do you think it's coming out this year? Do you think it's the next year thing? I try not to think about it because I guess now. I mean, it's a good idea. Yeah, I just kind of forget it exists. I don't even try to bring it up on the channel anymore. I don't think Metroid Prime 4 is coming before the Nintendo Switch attached. You're not a Metroid fan, right, Nick? No. We talked about this last time. So you're unbiased. Yeah, I'm unbiased. I don't know, man. Are you even remotely interested in it? Like, are you intrigued by the potential of it? I liked Metroid Dread, but I've never been interested in any of the Prime games. Like, I didn't pick up the remaster last year when it came out because I just don't like Metroidvanias. Let's be clear. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to out here. Like, it's cool. We had this conversation already. What I'm just kind of curious on is there any part of you that's like kind of excited for it? Just knowing that it's this big Nintendo game that they've been working on for a long time or not really? I'm I'm excited for the Metroid fans who have been waiting forever to hear about it because I remember being a Zelda fan like before tears of the kingdom had a name and a trailer and a date and all that. And I remember how much it sucked to not know anything about this game that you're really excited for. So I'm excited in that aspect, but outside of that, no. You're you're not. Yeah, you don't have like the Oh, there's this other big Nintendo game looming. You're just kind of like, all right, give me Mario. Yeah.  He's just not for Metroid Prime 4. No. Yeah, OK. That's all right. Thanks for being bricked up for us, bro. Yeah, man. He's a lot. I actually, as a pretty big Metroid fan, I actually would prefer to come out for Switch 2. I want to get the the cross gen sort of thing going. Yeah, if if retro is like they they know how to cook, is what I'll say, they if it's coming for a next gen console, they will make that game look and feel unreal, like absolutely incredible. So so yeah, I'd be fine with waiting if that's the case. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm aligned. Go on. I've been interrupted once. I mean, I think I've been I was interrupting crime the whole time, but I just wanted to kind of you mentioned something about we may know like the whole first half. I'll you're already aware of this, I'm sure. But I think there's a good chance we're getting another Nintendo Direct, right? The rumors are April. I think it's probably true. And I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo shall drops an April game. What that might be, that's up for debate. Could be Prime to remastered. Could be Wind Waker. Could be Luigi's Mansion 1. There's some options, but I'm just, you know, that there might Nintendo might like fit in one more kind of quick shall drop remaster for April. Hmm, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, baby. I'm just kidding. Those games are never coming. I wonder if it hurts those games or Metroid Prime for neither. Those games. Although neither is a good option. I see neither is my favorite option. I think Mario Kart nine. If April has a game, if April has a game, it's because there's a direct and they shadow drop like Prime to remaster or something. Yeah, exactly. And that'll be it, though. I don't think they're going to have anything else major for that because they're going to be just focused on marketing the two big upcoming games in Thousand Year Door and Luigi's Mansion and then whatever they're whatever they announced for the second half. And that's why I suggested maybe a Luigi's Mansion 1 shall drop, you know, nothing like big, but basically like what they would pick in one and two. Right. It's it's very basic. You see what they also did with Luigi's Mansion HD 2. No, Luigi's Mansion 2 has had a visual overhaul that's taken time to make. I'm talking about like a dolphin emulation basically of Luigi's Mansion 1. But on which one looks better than Luigi's Mansion 2? Sorry, I don't actually think Luigi's Mansion 2 HD looks good at all. Well, I'm not interested in engaging in a debate on your opinion. So I'm not going to. Podcast is about opinions. What are we talking about? I know, listen, you can feel the way you're going to feel. And I don't care. I'm just saying I think that they could do a quick kind of, you know, a shall drop for Luigi's Mansion 1. I think it would make sense. I honestly think with Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, it's kind of somewhere in between like the real the reality of it. I think it looks better than this 3ds version. But it also it doesn't look as good as Luigi's Mansion 3 either. Kind of have to be in HD. Well, yeah, but I'm just saying that you both are a little like you're both on the extremes, whereas it's really more somewhere in the middle. Well, let me be clear. I don't think it looks as good as 3. Oh, he was compared to Luigi's Mansion 1 for the Nintendo GameCube. Well, I think I was comparing it to HD versions of one on emulation. Yeah, but yeah, it emulated fair to be totally clear. I I'll tell you that I like the atmosphere and feel of one. Oh, yeah, like the original ality with the ghost as well. You'll do it. I mean, two is more colorful. I mean, three is more colorful. Well, sure. Well, just for the record, I think Luigi's Mansion 3 is easily a top 10 best looking Switch game. Maybe top five. Amazing. Yeah, art direction is incredible. I think we're on the same page there. I don't think anyone thinks Luigi's Mansion 2 looks as good as three. Like, I think I think we're on the same page there. So fair. I mean, it's why they're calling it just HD. They're not trying to pretend as a 40. Yeah, they're not. They're not trying to. I mean, they're still pricing for 60 bucks. But, you know, that's because they think it'll sell. Let's be honest, prices are based on what they think it'll sell at. Not. Yeah, we're kind of why we'll defend Luigi's Mansion 2. Like just objectively speaking, like this is not even an opinion. Like there is more done than just upscaling the 3DS version. Like there is new texture and geometry. They've put in work. Is there enough work? Well, I mean, that we'll see. I'm not as mad about the price or the graphics. I'm just upset that they took Dark Moon out of the title and called it two. I know why they did that. So it doesn't sound like it's a new game compared to Luigi's Mansion 3, like they have to make it clear. Yeah. So wait, you're saying that they have to make it clear that it's not they have to use a number to make it clear. Thank God, they didn't call it. You're saying that it does know that numbers are the way to go. Almost like Xenoblade Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade 3, Louis Bayonetta, Metroid Prime. Well, we'll see how much I just throw it out there.  Go ahead and make your point. I'm sorry. I mean, that all my point was I'm just mad. They took Dark Moon out of the title because Luigi's Mansion 2 was my it's in my top five games on 3DS. Like I love that game. And honestly, I'm more excited for Luigi's Mansion than I am. Paper Mario, I know it's a good Paper Mario, but I'm probably not going to get it.  All right. Listen, I was willing to accept that you're not like super high and prime for the night. Tell me you're not even high. I'm thousand your door. Who are you? I'm just kidding. You're good. There's also the chance that the game, like we haven't seen a trailer for it in some time. It could look better when it comes out than it did when we saw that trailer because I guess it's an eight show now. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. I didn't realize this was a short cut up. I should have. But but yeah, I mean, that happens sometimes. They show early footage of games and it's like it's not done yet. You know, so it could be cleaned up. It could when it comes to release, they could come out with another trailer like a release date trailer and it looks better than it did in that previous trailer. That's always a possibility. You know, it was it could be a Star Fox zero sitch in that respect and not in the controls respect. Just that just the visuals respect, please. Yeah, I don't even think two looks bad, though. Like I just it just doesn't look as good as three. And I don't think it's ever it's going to look as good as three. I don't think I really think it's possible. It's possible. But I mean, I think it's possible not by remastering it. I think you would have to have like and yet imagined Metroid Prime remastered, though. Right, but we're not that was a remaster. What are we comparing Metroid to? Well, I'm just saying that that game looks good. So you could make a remaster look like modern graphics. It's possible is what I'm saying. All right, I'll give you that. I'm just, you know, it's not as much of work as that. I agree. It's not a it's not an expectation, perhaps, but it's possible. No, you're right. Yeah, but also is importing it. So this is true. It's not retrospective, right?  We don't know who's the next level or do we know who's doing it? I think I think it might be. Well, I don't know the sex. It would be hilarious if Retro Studios was porting Louis. Oh, my God, I want to say it was not that. Oh, it is them. Oh, but that would be hilarious. They want to port it and make it look like it's easier to think it's next level because they made the original obviously made three and probably working on four at this point. I mean, they're going to get some credit for it because it created the original. They maybe they have an overseeing role, but they call this HD because they're they're working on it. You know, like, like, like, like they have an outside studio working on it. I will be right back though. You guys keep going. Yeah. So what was the top games for the second half? So we're talking about the first half. Because like they have a first and then the second half. I don't know. I know this probably isn't like out of the ordinary, but I feel like Thousand Year Door and Luigi's Mansion two are really close to each other like it's fine. But it also like, I don't know, I thought they were going to be spaced out more like Luigi's Mansion might have been in July. You know, I think it's you go first cap. No, I was actually circling back to this comparison thing again, because you were like, what are we comparing it to? But Thousand Year Door might be a better comparison of it's possible. Thousand Year Door looks probably as good as well. It's not a remaster. I would. I wouldn't. That's a remake. That's they've reimagined like the actual layout of the maps. Like if you look at those are big sweeping, like there's actual changes. There's there's changes. OK, it's actually not even the same art style anymore. Like Paper Mario Thousand Year Door on Switch is actually like the environments are all made out of paper. That's not how Paper Mario games used to be. Some of it was made out of paper. It's just different. OK, no good. It's a good difference. It's like it's really good. But yeah, it looks great. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, and they reimagined the vision visually. So yeah, so it's possible. Yeah, that's what we're saying. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's funny, though, because we go back to primary mastered, right? And like visually, like they actually created new art for the entire game that they basically remade it visually. But they used it, but they base, but they use it an updated version of the root engine, which is like the supposed engine for the original Metroid Prime. They just kind of like modernized it to Kingdom Come. And they're like, all right, they so they kind of built it with the original game at its core. So that's why I guess it's technically a remaster. It's still using the same source code as far as I know, right? Yeah, you said it's more in a more simple terms. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I totally deviated backwards from the topic, though.  Well, what I was going to say, just because, Nick, as you were kind of noting that the games are very close to each other, which seems a little odd. Like if it wasn't for the reports that Switch 2 is not coming out this year, I'd be like, yo, Switch 2 is definitely coming out this year because like they kind of like we're at right now. We haven't gone a big main Nintendo Direct, right? Like that we're obviously the pattern has been broken, right? Like we're in uncharted territory. The Nintendo has laid out the first half. The second half is completely vacant.  It feels like Nintendo could be like, yo, guys, guess what? Switch 2 is coming out this October, get hyped. And then they just kind of, you know, light a blazing path. We don't believe that's going to happen because of how many strong sources have come out and said it's not happening. But just like the way Nintendo sort of set up this year so far, that's how it feels. Now, of course, the reports also indicate that it was the plan was that right for like a holiday release and that they had to change it recently. And so maybe that's why it feels that way, because. They were carrying they were carrying through part of that plan. But now what happens with the second part of that plan is going to be different. Right. Like it's almost too late to adjust the dates of these games because they shifted the plan so late in the like, well, we're already like, it's already rolling. We can't change it. So we kind of got to. And I was thinking about like, we genuinely don't have anything for the second half of the year. Like no DLC announced, no games, no, like. The only thing left of Prime 4 literally, there's nothing else. You're right. So what kind of kind of counterpoint is that we never do lately, like the last few years, I feel like every six months we have this conversation of like, Nintendo has nothing for, you know, after this point. And it's just because that's how they do marketing now is they they always market extremely hard short term. You know, there are exceptions. Tears of the Kingdom is an exception. But like for the most part, they announced something very close to launch and then they market the hell out of it. And until and shortly after launch and they have these very short focused windows, because that's what they found just works for them really nicely. Yeah, instead of these long drawn out marketing cycles that last several years. And they also don't want to compete with each other. They want to make sure every major release sells as many copies as possible. True. Yeah. So I just feel like it's like a constant thing. People and I'm not saying this is what you guys are doing, but I see like people online panicking almost are like, oh, my God, Nintendo doesn't have anything for 2023's first half. They don't have anything for 2023's second half. And it's like this this this sort of cycle of. Yeah, that's the other week.  Oh, well, he's not here to give us. This is literally exactly what I was saying. This is so validating. You've actually made that saying exactly how I feel all podcast. The Mario Day news, I think, was actually really good news for like 2024 hopefuls, because Nick, as he pointed out, right, like we have the both Louise mentioned to and Paper Mark coming out right next to each other. If Nintendo was in a position where they were like, oh, crap, we had to delay switch to so what we're going to do about the second half of 2024, some people are thinking like, thousand year doors can be made into a holiday game. No, it's coming out sooner than expected. It's coming out May. And so Nintendo doesn't look like a Nintendo spreading out what's already been announced. They just I think they just have other things. And I mean, to your point, Cap, they're they're going to probably have a direct I'm thinking April and then all of a sudden that second half will be filled up. Yeah, it'll probably be filled up with more ports and remasters. I personally want to see what they're going to do, if anything, with Zelda this year. Like you had Tears of the Kingdom last year. That's a big game, but you got no DLC for it. And most people who have bought and played it have finished it. So like, what's their next thing? Like, like, I'm a Zelda fan. I've beat all the Zelda games on Switch already. Like, so what's next for me? Like, what are you going to bring? Listen, listen, play it again. What if there's Zelda content for the year is master mode? I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. Well, actually, I would be pretty happy for a master mode. I want a master mode. Yeah, I'm also like, if Nintendo didn't drop another game, like, I know it's not like they're not going to do that. But if they didn't drop anything after the wages mentioned, I'd be OK with that because it would give me time to catch up on all the games I have in my backlog that I haven't played. Like I have Super Mario RPG, haven't played it yet. I have Splatoon 3, haven't played it yet. Mario plus Rabbids haven't played it yet. Like, dude, Paper Mario, the Thousand Year Door is such a better RPG than Super Mario RPG. I haven't played either. You know, I haven't played the same. So but I just know that people in the chat are going to be offended by that statement. I don't think so. Maybe not this cat, but there are people on the Internet who will be able to actually play both games will not be offended by that fair Super Mario RPG is a baby's RPG. Then you can I could have told you that and I've never played it. Well, yeah, but your door is way better. Say it's accurate. Thank you. Yeah. Well, also, people can have opinions and it's fine. It's allowed for sure. We need more 3DS ports. That does seem to be the route we're going now. Well, on that note, I would like it's not really a 3DS port, but like just the idea of like. Like people wanted Ocarina of Time 3D ported or Majora's Mastery ported or a link between worlds remastered. I don't think those are happening, but in terms of like a Zelda game, right? Like I think I am on the train of thought that there is probably going to be a Zelda release this year because typically there's at least one kind of significant Zelda release per year. Sometimes it's a spin off like high reward or sometimes it's a remaster like Skyward Sword. Unless you're going to remake you unless you're 22, where tears of the kingdom was planned for that year and then was delayed to early next year. Which is just what a six month delay. So not no real biggie. I think that's the exception. But in general, we have a Zelda release per year, right? And so I think it's not a bad prediction to say that we're getting some things all this year. So the question is what in my mind and I have two ideas. It I mean, given this 2024 and suppose this issue starts next year, if we're going to ever get like those Zelda remasters to win Waker and Twilight Princess, like it's it's this year. Like and I personally have been kind of thinking like it's just a Zelda collection because they've already been remastered for Wii U. That's one option. But the other option that's perhaps more interesting to me is they do what they did last year in the sense that there is already this conversation that after Tuesday, the kingdom would be no other major games. And there is a sense that because it had been so many years intended would never do this go back to this franchise again. But they did. And it was Mario Wonder, except this time around the conversation is until it's delaying all their big games until twenty twenty five and we haven't gone to a fall to this particular series a long time. And that's to the Zelda. I think Nintendo could very quick could could easily have had Gresel been working on a to the Zelda over this time. And maybe it's ready for release this year. I think it's a it's a really good game. One, I think it would it would probably garner a solid audience. You know, comparable to Mario Wonder, maybe not as much, but still pretty good for the holidays. And it would be the kind of game that Nintendo could announce, which to people will won't be like, oh, man, I really wish I really want to wait and play some for me. No, because it's really like we're going to have to be there. No reason to want that on the switch, too. Yeah, like, yeah, so I want it. But it's life cycle release. Exactly. Yeah. And it would be hype. And I think I think the Zelda fans would be really happy about it. And, you know, it would be a strong seller. Yeah, I'd be happy about this. I think that would be sick. I think it could actually help the sales of that game, knowing that it's like the swan song first party switch title. Because we also didn't get. Correct me if I'm wrong. We did not get a brand new 2D Zelda game on the switch at all. Like, yes, there was Link's Awakening, but that was a remake of an old game. There was cadence of Hyrule, but that was like a spinoff. So I don't know anything. It's not even it's not Zelda, though. It's like it's a rhythm action to the necro dancer featuring the legend of Zelda. Yeah, it's like in the title. So it would be a great way. You could start switch with a Zelda and switch with a Zelda. Yeah, I would work out great. Zelda sandwich. Yep, with a lot of Mario and Metroid Kirby jelly. Yeah, that's the best kind of sandwich. Here's another thing that might influence like the games or the second half of the year. Do we think switch to is getting announced this year? Like, yeah, in October, they're going to be like, hey, we got this thing coming out next year. I mean, people think it's getting announced sooner. If it comes, I could see it happening like a holiday release, and it's announced in like September. But that was for two. Yeah, I could maybe. It's October, September the earliest. They're not releasing a new console in a holiday after what's happened in the last four years with that. That's fair. So they they announce it next January or February. Yeah, and then it comes out like March. That's what we said was going to happen this year. Well, yeah, and it was not me. It was supposed to. I think it's cool. I think this goes back to what I was saying, though. Right. I think you can announce the console this year. Make it clear. But the game that you have to come in between in your very choice, you have, you know, you have a 2D Zelda, right? You have a Wind Waker or not those, because, you know, like remasters, like the kind of games that you wouldn't want to wait for Switch 2 on, you do price drops. You reach the people you reach out to the people that aren't going to be early adopters to switch to anyway. And that's how you do it. And so I think there is an avenue where they do announce Switch 2 this year. It comes out early next year. But what it does, it does impact the kind of content Nintendo puts out for this year. But I think it's the kind of content that you need to do to close up the generation, you know, put up the Nintendo select line, price up the console, phase out some revisions, maybe introduce another cheaper revision, maybe that's what Switch attaches, who knows, and put out things like 2D Zelda and maybe those rumored black and white remakes. And then all of a sudden you have a pretty decent kind of lineup for the year in terms of like sales potential. And we're still going to be primed and ready for Switch 2 early next year. Primed and ready because we're on nevermind. But also Metro Prime 4 is a launch title. I'm crazy, but here it is. Also, I think I think Pokemon Remakes that X and Y is likely if they're doing this new Pokemon Legends game. I'm just saying.  But it does make sense. The reason why I suggested black and white, though, is because two reasons. One, the Riddler has been kind of hinting at black and white something for a long time, and now everyone thinks he's fake because it wasn't in the presents. But what's interesting, Piero, a leaker that everyone does believe, did say he had heard a while ago that there was going to be an outsourced Generation 5 game. He said that he wasn't saying it was going to be in the presents. So he said take it with a grain of salt, and it wasn't there. So to me, and then he backtracked on it, though, after that. No, he never backtracked on it. Yeah, he did. No, Piero didn't backtrack on it. Oh, I mean, I guess he deleted. He did. He deleted a tweet. Apologize. Yeah. But was that wasn't that because it wasn't in the presents or was the information was false? He literally was like, sorry, this isn't from one of my actual sources that I know. I didn't see that. It was just something I had heard, but I don't believe it now. And so I apologize and I'm bleeding it. OK, I think it's worth looking into. I don't remember him saying that. But what does Eric think? That's what I want to know. I don't know what to think. I mean, I think the Tendos got the Tendos got games that they're sitting on. We all we all have that feeling. And Switch has games. We're probably going to have a dumping of those at the end of this year just because we need fillers. So this was the perfect time and they were waiting for something like this to happen or not necessarily waiting, but, you know, having a plan for if something like this did happen, you know, where they could just dump games where they had that space where they had to fill. So I think that's probably what we're going to get is just a bunch of games that Nintendo has been sitting on that we've heard possibly heard rumors on and maybe to these elders. They've been sitting on that for a while. I mean, yeah, it's probably Princess Peach Showtimes been done for a long time, too. Like I think Nintendo was kind of wild about these rumors suggesting that like one of the reasons supposedly why she was delayed is because they needed to get the lineup ready. But Nintendo has been sitting on just so many games. Like it's hard for me to believe that. But games like Princess Peach Showtime, are they games you launch a console with? Right. They need their breath of the wilds to launch the console, the Mario Odyssey's, you know. And I do understand that, right? I just think it's an interesting. It's an interesting distinction to make, though, right? Because it's more it's not so much that they don't have games ready. It's what kind of games do they have ready? Like, I think it's actually exciting because what it implies is that 2025 is going to be, you know, a twenty seventeen like year, like actually that we've kind of like I feel like throughout the entire switch generation, we've been kind of thinking, oh, is this the year where we have something that compares to twenty seventeen? And there's always been pretty solid years and it's up for debate. But like in terms of like straight, like, you know, Nintendo putting out their own like internally developed games that kind of match that output from twenty seventeen. What we're hearing now indicates that that's what 2025 is actually going to be. Yeah. And I believe that because they they learned their Wii U lessons. You have to you got to launch your console with that strong lineup because the game box is just the box you play games on. And then the games are what matters and that's what's going to if you don't have a strong software lineup, you're not going to move units. That's that's that's just the simplest way to put it. It's like the most important ingredient. You got to have the games for sure. By the way, Jake, I looked up Puro's tweets, right? And so I never want to apologize, but he did. OK, well, then the only one he left up were the ones after he apologized at saying, should I delete my account since I promised I would? Right. But he deleted the one saying he would. But he left up the poll. Should I delete my account? Yeah, the there's yeah. He only has two tweets relating to the poll and then him saying, OK, I won't delete my account. And all. Yeah, I mean, the initial tweet saying he would delete his account. Interesting. And then. But also, if you look in his replies, one other thing he did leave up was Centro Leaks reporting on his Pokemon one and then him saying, I wouldn't actually trust it and I'll take the elephants wrong. Yeah. So but I remember that. But let me speak on that, right? Yeah. He so what I'm trying to say, right? I'm not trying to say that Puro thought that it was going to be at the present, right? I take what he said at face value. He said a while ago, he heard that there is going to be an outsourced Generation Five title. Now, when you take that face value, what you got to understand is if you hear about something a while ago, it is subject to change, right? And so maybe there was conversations about it being a Generation Five out. Maybe maybe they change it to X and Y afterwards, because maybe they did pivot the next legend against to be Legend ZA. That's possible. And, you know, because he heard it a while ago, he just brought it up because it made sense that it might show up in the presents. But because he wasn't certain on it, like he is with most of these leaks, he told us to take with a grain of salt. It may not happen here, right? And then, of course, it wasn't. So I'm just simply stating that if Piora heard this, right? And this lines up with what the Riddler has been kind of hinting at for a long time. And the Riddler has had a long history of getting things right. Granted, a lot of these things are very riddle-like. He's kind of a troll, and maybe there's some room for, oh, how legit is he? Right? Maybe that's been called into question now. But my point is simply that we have two places that have indicated something Generation Five is at least in the conversation at one point. All right. So here's the thing. Everything you said is true and valid. And if that, you know, if that was a real thing that he heard, that's exactly, you know, it can change at any time. Right. The problem is it is such an easy fallback and cover story for any time you're wrong about everything. And I understand the track record comes into a and, you know, you start taking that into account. But the thing with a lot of these leakers, and some I won't name is I think they start out. They do have legitimate sources, but not for all of Nintendo. And I don't think there's any Nintendo employee that knows everything for every franchise. I think it's depending where you're working. Yeah, I think they get real leaks and then they get popularity and then they get pressure to try to come up with more stuff. And when their sources don't have anything, but their sources are like, oh, well, I heard maybe like someone that works in this department was talking about this, but now I don't I don't really know. And they and then they start taking more, more like liberties and then using exactly what you just said of being like, because a lot of time it is real that Nintendo changed things. That's a very real thing. But then they'll just start using that for everything. And then they get further and further apart. And then they just start like basically guessing at everything. And I think we both know accounts that kind of lines up like they got like a lot of stuff right. And then they started getting a little more inaccurate, a little more inaccurate, and then all of a sudden like we don't trust them at all. Sure, like, yeah. And I'm not saying that like it's fair to like treat every account like that, like Puro, but I'm just saying the same way you got to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just changed. You also have to take into account the possibility that they're starting to kind of feel the pressure and just want to post things to stay relevant. And like you instead of making a judgment either way, you just have to judge on was it true or was it not true? So and the most recent thing was not true. Sure. Well, the most recent thing actually was true because Puro leaked all the stuff about the Mario Day Direct. So there's that. And so I think it's another distinction needs to be made here. We're talking about Puro, right? Like we're just talking about Puro. No, and I said that the track record is right. So that was the only thing. But what needs to be understood is that when Puro talked about the Pokemon Black and White, it wasn't even technically even see Black and White. He just said Generation Five related outsourced project, right? He didn't state that as a leak. It was not stated as a leak. He when he presented the information, he presented the information when he was a redoubtful of it happening from the get go. Everything else he posts about, he doesn't post about with doubt. So he's very I would say like he was just being transparent. It's like, hey, I heard this. I'm not sure if it's actually happening or not. And so, you know, I don't think this is a scenario where Puro is trying to maintain popularity. I think he just legitimately has. I don't know how he's getting the information, but he has the information on the leaks. And the one thing that was wrong, he said it might be wrong. He didn't say the other things would be wrong and they haven't been. So I just think it's yeah. And so I don't think he has any Pokemon information that's actually concrete. I think he has a source of Nintendo that leaks him. Exact things. Sure. And I think that Pokemon is a separate thing. I don't think he's ever known anything. And that's why he was so hesitant about it. And it's not fair for him to be like, I kind of heard this. And like, I'll tell you, this might not be true because it's like not for my my true sources. Like that's not one of your sources. You shouldn't you shouldn't be saying that at all, in my opinion. I don't I don't agree because he was just very transparent. Like, I think a lot of it wasn't very transparent, though. He wasn't like, this is from not a direct source. This is complete hearsay. He wasn't completely clear on that. He was just like, it's something I heard a while ago, still implying it could be like from someone from Nintendo directly. Like, but it's definitely not his like source that gives him the actual information. So I don't think it was a completely transparent, but I will say Pioro is definitely I'm not like trying to rag on him. He's definitely like top tier in terms of. What's the word integrity? All right, so I have the actual quote, right? Because I did save this stuff because I covered it, right? He said there was two tweets related to it. All right, so the first week was I don't know anything about the Pokemon presents. Well, while I heard while I heard of an outsourced Unova related game, the info was from last year, so it may turn out to be inaccurate. And he followed that up by saying this is not a leak and should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm just sharing something I'm aware of. OK, that's better than what I thought. I am being a little nitpicky. But I think like I do think he like should have said it's not from my main source where I leak everything. It's not from that source. I mean, he said it's not a leak. So right. But he didn't say it's not from that source. I. All right. So let me just tell you what I think, right? Again, I know I'm being nitpicky. Right. Yeah. But I'm going to tell you what I think, right? I think a lot of people, right, are very. The people look at it. Everyone looks at these things in different ways and treats them in a different way, right? When I see someone like Pioro who has in what we're talking, we're not talking about. He got like two or things, right? You know, he's like and they were like kind of right. No.  Entire present like an entire significant parts of every presentation, like for the partner showcase, he leads like 12 games, you know, it's this and there's a certain specificity to that. This isn't any vagueness to it. So for me, it's not really left up for debate. They doesn't have this information. And it's been very, very strong. Yeah, I never said that. Right. And I'm not saying you did. I'm just explaining how I understand this, right? And so what I what the way I sort of look at this, right? This person has information. And when they talk about this information is done in a particular way. And the moment this person talks about something that they have, they don't have a certainty with, they say they don't have certainty with it. And so the moment they say they don't have certainty with it, I knew to not like fully buy into it because that's what they said. But everything else, they don't say that. But here's the thing. I mean, the leakers exactly like Pioro and it's a slippery slope, man. They'll do that one time and then they'll do it again. And then they, you know, they'll be more and more vague about it. And like, they'll be cryptic about it to cover. It's not to be cryptic. It's to cover their asses in case. So let me also explain why I'm being defensive for this person, right? Because, I mean, you know, I've occasionally heard some little things here and there, not nearly to the degree of reliability of Pioro. Like, I don't not even pretend to be a leaker, right? I'm a YouTuber and sometimes he will send me things and I'll see some of them have good track records. Some of them don't. That's it, right? But as someone who's very small, right? And then sometimes says, they don't worry, not all guys are packing. That's not what I was talking about. As someone who has a smaller viewership than a lot of bigger YouTubers and journalists, right? I hear some things. Very, very, very occasionally, very, very vague, right? And most of the time I just put all my own theories and research and kind of compile that and talk about the other people and I get flack when they're wrong. But I see these people like, you know, Jeff Grubb made the hate and I think they 100 percent have connections. And the way I've come to understand it and from what people have told me who are, you know, who have worked like literally with Nintendo, right? And then other places, changes happen all the time. So while you could say, oh, it's a good fallback, it's also literally the truth. No, and that's why it's such a good fallback because it is the truth. And I said that very clearly. And so, but that's why I think, you know, word choice is and like attention to detail is important, right? So when we look at the euro, he didn't do a pretty good job with his word choice. I had like a little nitpick with it, but overall he did a good job. He also took accountability, which was great. And also he gets more credit, too, because he's not someone whose livelihood relies on it. They're not. He's not like a journalist or like a YouTuber himself, you know. And if he and if he was, and we just don't know it, like, I mean, I assume it's an alien. Make videos on anyone's rumours. He doesn't need to make up his. You know what? Like he's doing it, like in the best way you possibly could and the most credible way you possibly could.  But, like, when you have his track record and you say anything, Pokemon, like two days before Pokemon presents, you know, it's going to, like, take off like that. And I think he knew he had no idea if it was true or not. But he just wanted to say the thing that he heard. This is how I interpret it. I think he was just trying to be a bro. He's like, yo, guys, I heard about this thing. Just letting you know, like, that's how I that. That's how I took it. I don't think there's any. He very well may have been. And it's kind of just up to us to kind of decide. And I don't think you're necessarily wrong. I think it could have been either way. Yeah. And again, I don't fully believe like the opposing viewpoint I'm presenting here, too, because I do believe what you just said is possible. You're feeling you're trying to say, like, I'm always like, I'm always considering both sides. Fair. I'm like, skeptical. Yeah. Yeah. I like what. Honestly, he's the top of my list of your bro. Dude, I kind of hate the insider thing so much. But like, he's probably he's probably at the top. I mean, if you ever said it, it's kind of like. We're already on anything means like just main regular Nintendo. I believe them, but I do think Pokemon if he says anything without if he does, if he says anything without any sort of like clarification of like to be cautious of it. I have no reason to honestly, you know what? Yeah, that's a good point, Andreas. You're right. Yeah. But the reason I brought up your to begin with, though, is just because I trust I have, you know, I think this person is shown should be trustworthy, right? Out of any out of any insider leak or whatever out there, they're the most trustworthy. And so, you know what, honestly, at the end of this, dude, you're kind of like winning me over to kind of agree with you. So I'm glad we talked about it. Right. It was like, honestly, and it's hopefully like shown the chat, like how credible he is, too. So I'm glad we have a conversation. Yeah. And but the only one I want to go back to the pure thing because I brought it up again. We don't know if there's going to be a black and white remake and X and Y remake, right? We're speculating, right? But if we have both the red and pure who heard something, and again, it's not a leak, right? I mean, it's not it's not being treated as a leak. We're treating as a rumor. We literally heard something. That's the literally the textbook, you know, Webster's Oxford's definition of what a rumor is. You heard something from somebody, right? And so the rumor is there was going to be some type of like black and white, you know, outsource project. And recently we've heard that they've actually set up some sort of like I'm dedicated Pokemon department at I'll see a Ilka, the makers of brilliant damage shining pearl. Right. Yeah. So I don't think we've seen the last, you know, outsource remake. So there could be another. And maybe we don't see it this year. But it will point out excluding brilliant damage shining pearl. A lot of Pokemon remakes have been announced closer towards the summer. So and we do usually tend to get two Pokemon presents in a year. Yeah. So so we could get another one and they could announce something for this holiday. Well, with the with the Legends Z.A. Obviously Legends Arceus line. It made sense for Gen 4 remakes. I understand how it makes sense to have, you know, rumors about X and Y remakes. But honestly, those are 3D games and Ilkas only remade 2D 2D games in the TV art style. So I still and again, we never heard anything about X and Y remakes. So I still think it makes more sense for Black and White to be like the next remakes. Maybe, yeah. I would, I honestly, I kind of like, I hope that if they were to remake Black and White, they'd kind of copy Square Enix and do the HD 2D Cytal because that would work so well for Black and White. I really hope that we get like Black and White 3. And like crazy. Well, with Legends Z.A., right? Like it's kind of like we were finally getting Pokemon Z in a way. So that like they're already kind of doing it a little bit. So like to have like a Black and White through be kind of cool and then they could sell their two versions too. But I don't know. Yeah. I mean, but I mean, outside of, you know, Pokemon and Zelda, like what else could we see? Mario Kart 9. You mean 11? Maybe 12. Mario Kart X. Actually, Mario Kart X. Mario Kart X, and they're doing a partnership with Twitter, actually. So it's going to be like that in this joke about Twitter being called X. Did you still call it Twitter? Yeah. Nobody calls it Twitter. That's like my sign. No, everyone calls it Twitter. Yeah, what do you have? I call it Twitter. I think he met X. Yeah. No one calls it X. Everyone calls it Twitter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. Oh, OK.  Maybe this is the year we finally get Link's Crossbow training ported to switch. Instead of 2D Zelda. And then we get a switch attachment to ease us into switch attach next year. And it's the crossbow for the joy. It's actually just a repurposed ring fit band. Yeah, you just got to it becomes a workout. That's perfect. Dude, I hope to make an attachment for all the hentai games. It's kind of like that band, just a little. Oh, God. Yeah, this is going a good direction. Where is Nate? Yes, he didn't just got him. He's don't tell me you've never sat on a joy con. No, I take good care of my hardware. I have a hard and the joy cons are definitely not sticking up. So that's weird. I've never might I take care of my joy cons, man. Like, I'll tell you that HD rumble, something else. And then you enter the IR sensor. I genuinely don't know. I don't know what else Nintendo could put out this year. Like, aside from like a Zelda game or a Donkey Kong, like. So, I mean, so, all right. I mean, can we get a show of hands? Like, who thinks Prime Force coming out this? Because there's a rumor that Prime Force coming out this year, but I feel like we should just expect delays now because that apparently is all that happens. So, like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't think we any of us know the Prime Force coming out this year. It makes it kind of changes things a little bit. Like, like that's like anything's pot like Prime could come out this year or it could come out next year. Either one would not surprise me. Right. I'm on the same page. You know what's something that could happen? Mario Party. We're kind of overdue. A new one again. But Mario Party coming out at the end of a generation. Yeah, I got a third one. I mean, it's the third one. And it's only I think that makes more sense to be a Switch 2 just because I hope it has improved online and take advantage of like Switch 2 online and stuff, you know. Yeah, maybe they do a little like not a full like DLC wave for superstars, but do like a free update to try and push some more sales of that and then do a new one next year. But there's a free update really warrant. I mean, but they did that in twenty twenty one is they added online. Sure, but it wasn't like a big release for that was like a test for superstars, I feel like that's true. They still need to release something like the free update is not is not right. Like that's not your system seller. It's not your software seller. Like it's it's just a it's a free update. Thanks, Nintendo. There's something big that we're all missing. What is it? I don't know. I was like, I don't know. It might be to do Zelda or you know what? It doesn't have to be to do like Nintendo probably would sell a lot if they just package Wind Waker and Twilight Princess together and in one 60. But you know, they wouldn't pack them together. They'd sell them individually for 60. I don't I'm I actually don't know that. I must I don't think they would. They want they want your money. Have not done that on you. You want me to make my story. Masters, do you want me to make the argument for the collection? Well, here's the thing with Mario's superstars or whatever it was. Yeah, it is. Mario and a Wii Mario and an N64 Mario for 60 dollars. So just a Gamecube, Zelda and a Wii, Zelda. I can see. But those were really low quality like those were essentially rich. Yeah, well, one was a cross. Like, yeah. Where is like a princess and are you in my cap? Am I sorry? Are you on a Mac? Yeah. Yeah, that's that's why I do it. Max, Max Streamyards with Max. They have a they have a different gestures. Maybe maybe comes up. I don't know what I do. I don't want to enjoy these things. Oh, look, Nates just did it. Maybe you have to hold it for a second. No, I just think I don't know. Oh, yeah, there's a peace sign that did it. Why didn't you just only do it one time? I don't know. Maybe it was a glitch. I thought I was losing my mind. But yeah, as I was saying, like I see the. I don't know that wasn't Nate. That was Eric doing it to Nate's camera. You guys. Yes. Yeah, they're right next to each other, but it's confusing. I see the argument over. I can get I can make it. Yeah, I can try. All right.  I agree. But the thing is, they already remastered them on Wii U. They've already released twice. I don't think they're released in the third time for the same price. I don't know. Also, there's a history as other collections. I don't know. There is a history of some of the elections, but I I don't know. I feel like there's too much money to be made putting them separately because there are people who would only buy one and not the other. And the argument of what you're saying, Nick, is that they just released Luigi's Mansion. They're releasing Luigi's Mansion 2 for 60 dollars. But it's also it's a new remaster. It's a new remaster. It's a new version of the game that has not existed. Yeah. But it's Luigi's Mansion. Well, Zelda different than the other series, they just do.  So that like when your HD on the Wii U would be the port and that was like a fifty dollar game. And the same thing with Twilight Princess. And if they enhance those a little bit. But they're not going to be enhanced. They might be a little. Oh, they will. I think more amiibo functionality. I think they're going to strip down features, actually. Don't take out Miiverse support, obviously. No more Tingle bottles. And just they're just going to make. There's not going to be any any touch. Tingle amiibo bundled in. I don't work. I don't think these two games are coming out at the same time. That's why I don't think they're coming in a double pack, is I think it's going to be one. And then they're going to wait a little bit and then they're going to do the other one. Yeah, and then they're going to release them at 50 each. Because I mean, they could like just do a little. Oh, it's fifty dollars. Like same price. Why was Skyward Sword 60 in these? I mean, look what they did with Donkey Kong, Tropical Freeze. And that had just come out. It's called Skyward Sword was a new remaster. Skyward Sword had a lot more. Like that is really. They made it ten dollars more and didn't do anything. Except they did nothing except they changed the idle animation instead of pulling out of 3DS. And they charge North and that's Donkey Kong. This is Zelda, bro. Exactly. So I'd like to point something else out, right? Yeah, because these games have already had multiple releases, just putting it out again as is without any sort of like significant change to kind of brand it. I just don't see Nintendo doing that. But can I see them doing a Zelda collection? 100 percent. Like, I think there needs to be a hook. And also, I think it's all the dollars for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess Collection. And you know what? So the worst part of that is that I will buy it. I would buy it. I will buy it. Hey, you want me to concede? I'll concede this. Zelda collections for 70 bucks, but the games are 60 FPS. And they sell them for $40 each on the eShop. See, OK, save 10 bucks by buying them to buy in the collection. Call me, but I also I don't want a collection because I like I want the two games to be separate. Like I want to have a case and a cartridge for each one because I'm just I'm just that particular. Like I'm that picky. Whether it like if they drop them both, that'd be great. Nicely catered in new box art for a combo collection where they maybe they release some some unofficial. So not no, it's official, but it's unreleased official art for Winwick or Twilight Princess combined. And so it's a new box art that you've never seen before. But they're still in the same cartridge. I think if they bundle them, it will just be the GameCube versions, Uprest, Pikmin, one plus two style. And if they sell them separate, it'll be the the Wii U HD versions. That's fully what I think. Yeah, I was going to say, I could I could see the argument for a collection if it's the original versions of the game, not the HD Wii 60. They're going to do the Wii U ones and they're going to charge them individually. Yeah, 60 bucks a pop. We'll see. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying we don't know. Sixty bucks a pop. I honestly don't know what we're talking about. It's all the games we we use sports. Oh, Xenoblade Chronicles X. Not that that's the system seller. So for me, I think they're going to do a definitive edition for Xenoblade Chronicles X, but if you're doing a definitive edition, there's no way that would be a definitive edition on the switch. It would have to wait for switch to Andres, Dr. Dr. Martin had a good chat right now. Yeah, I haven't talked about it in a while. Do you think they're going to do switch selects ever like Nintendo? Yes, it feels like we're headed in that direction. I mean, I would have to be this year, right? I feel like they weren't going to do it as which two was coming out this year. But because it's not, I think it's a holiday plan. All those games they'd be less than the physical versions of. Yeah, they'll bring back a selects because they pull a lot. They pulled it, but you can't get fire emblem engage brand new anymore. They pulled it. It makes sense. Yeah, one game is because selects versions are coming probably. Nintendo selects actually would go pretty crazy, especially if switch to is backwards compatible. And you can get all those great games for really cheap, especially if they do it after it's announced. And it's announced. Switch to and you know, you're like, I can go get Breath of the Wild for 40 bucks. It's like getting switched to pre-sales, basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you'll buy it to play on your current switch, knowing you can take it forward. Yeah, but then they'll still be there when switch to comes out. So a new adopter can buy it, can, you know, have extra games at launch, too. Right. Yeah. It's it's a it's a cool idea. Maybe that's what they feel there. It's kind of like a star machine. I still think they need to actually have new releases. When I say new, I don't mean a brand new original game, but there needs to be some type of title that Nintendo is publishing almost every month for the second half doesn't have to be every month. Like it looks like they're skipping April, even though there might be a shadow drop. But I think there's got to be four or five more games that are releasing the second half of the year. But maybe, you know, here's one as zero, the rumored as your GX remaster. If that's real, this might be a good time to do it, because if we do expect Mario Kart next year and the tenant wants to put out another racer, maybe now is the best time to do that before Mario Kart, you know, steals a spotlight for forever. Because it's about an original new F zero. So, yeah, that would make a lot of sense. That would make sense, too. With F zero 99 kind of being like a let's test like are people interested in F zero at all kind of thing, you know, or even if someone's never heard of F zero, aside from Falcon Punch, we want to test the waters and see if people have to make them more about it. Zero ever do to you. No, I'm nothing to me. I'm just saying, like, like F zero. The point is zero. That guy from Mega Man, I hate him. Why does a robot need a ponytail? It doesn't make any sense. Anyways, but sometimes we just need a little personality.  So it's a good way to introduce people like, hey, F zero is a franchise that exists. Captain Falcon is not just from Smash. And he was in a lot of Smash trailers, too. Like, I think these things are by design to an extent. Right. I mean, you look at what they always bring up Pikmin when I talk about this, because you look at all the different things that different Pikmin before Pikmin four. I think there is a little bit of a roadmap. So, you know, yeah, maybe master, you know that, you know, I forget which epic Mickey it is, but one of them, how it brings back like the Oswald, the rabbit. That's the second one. Who's like Disney's forgotten thing. What if like Nintendo made a game with one of their franchises that's in Smash that's like forgotten? And it was like that kind of thing. So, F zero. Well, I mean, so this happened before like the plot of the game was that they were a forgotten franchise. Oh, that's what the next Mario game is. Is Mario, because that's what the Epic Mickey game is. It's the current main mascot going to this old forgotten place and finding. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like that was like Nintendo. Yeah. Well, I don't know what the franchise is like, but like, I don't know. Like Kid Icarus or just like something that like is just like been gone for so long.  Like it was brought to Brawl. People were like, who is this? Right. It came out on the original game, came out on Virtual Console for Weep. They're like, oh, OK. And then eventually anything that's in Smash is legit. Possibly this true. I mean, yeah, like Fire Emblem was not really it was like dying a dying franchise that was exclusive to Japan until they were in Smash. Yeah. So I mean, yeah, don't underestimate the power of Smash on the note of Fire Emblem. So there's such the Smash like fan base will play games with characters that are just in Smash. So if you if you do a game with a character that hasn't had a game that's in Smash, but it's a similar genre to Smash Brothers. So like those players will be interested in the game based on a genre alone. That's where I think you can really like revive something. That's exactly how I got into Xenoblade. It doesn't have. Yeah, it doesn't have to even be the same French or same genre. I'm just saying if it's kind of it's the closer it is there, like it only helps doesn't necessarily have to be. You can like be completely different take off. But I'm just saying, you know, it's kind of funny. I kind of feel like the reverse is happening with Gino because like we've wanted Gino in Smash forever.  But now with the remake, Gino has come back to prominence. So when the Smash speculation inevitably begins like some time next year, the the argument for Gino and Smash videos are going to come back. So yeah, yeah, yeah. And Sakura is going to be like, yeah, I'm going to add Master Chief instead. You can go help. But even like you're about that's Smash is how we got you got into. You said Xenoblade. Yep. Yeah.  So it's getting a new Earthbound. Yeah, let's do that. Didn't they just put Mother Mother 3 on Switch Online in Japan? Yes, the only dadly only. Yeah. But you can play it if you have a Japanese account and Google Lens just translate everything or if you just speak Japanese. You can just like four years of Japanese. Well, you can buy an English translated repro card for like five bucks online. Like a GBA card. OK, then I think I heard your window break. Yeah, I think I'm going to stand away from things that may lead to the shadows. We're not selling them. Yeah, it's a thing of the bottom. We're not telling people where to buy them. Listen, we know we know because of that court case, the Nintendo Ninjas are literally everywhere. They are. Yeah, there are ninjas in this chat right now. There there is. There is. Not like, no, it's like a ninja. It's being a ninja. Why is always quiet? No, they announced that like that member that there's a new emulator now about to come out sue you that's using the Yuzu code base. And then they're like, oh, we're going to be fine. We consulted legal. And it turns out they consulted a third year law student on that advice, not an actual lawyer. Sounds pretty good. Have you guys seen Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad? No. Yes. Yes. Watching those energies like, hey, let's let's let's talk to Better Call Saul as a lawyer who works who works for who helps out criminals. Like that's the kind of lawyer that they were trying to try. They probably said it's a third year law student who apparently maybe that's what he's going to get into. It's helping people break the law. I don't know. Maybe maybe he's like a genius. No problem. They're like, oh, we're going to be all good because we're not going to sell money and everything. I'm like, well, the settlement involved literally the deletion of the entire code base. If you're still using the code base, which you are, it's open source. I don't know that you if you're in America and you're consulted, I think you're.  I know, but we have a recent thing where Nintendo took down an actual company doing it versus these new ones who don't know what to do.  He said it's on. So yeah, that's what my point is that they basically made a public challenge to Nintendo come get us. And it's like, yeah, make sure you want to you want to I just want to take this moment to point out. Well, honestly, no, I mean, it is kind of smart because I want to make a point. It's better to have Nintendo just challenge them right away. Very patient when they haven't made any money or, you know, any donations, whatever. So if they if they can't pull it off, they know right away. And then if they if they somehow miraculously win, then they can actually just like leave it up. Nintendo probably won't do anything until it's actually available. I mean, they're working on it's unavailable yet. Yeah, I'm listening, Andre. Yeah. No, so the point I wanted to make is just I just kind of hate it when people rely on status for like reasoning, like, oh, why should you believe this person? Oh, because I'm an engineer. Oh, I've been studying psychology for two years at school. Therefore, I can tell you what's wrong with you.  But I I don't I really don't like it when we kind of like reduce arguments down to like someone's class or status. No, just listen to the argument. Come to your own conclusions based off evidence. That's what you should do. That requires using my brain and thinking. And that's too much work. So if I was being sued, why would I ask a lawyer for help? OK, I'm going to come to my own conclusions and defend myself. Right. I know more than the lawyer. I know myself better than the lawyer. Obviously, except for some rules, although although there are people you technically do have the right to defend yourself. Yeah, no, no.  You know, I will say this, though. I will say this even even though no, but you should actually do some of your own research because you should get the wrong lawyer, you'll lose the right lawyer will win. The wrong doctor can drive you up. The right doctor can make you well. And actually, you have a second opinion before or a third opinion. Oftentimes, it will tell you different things. You. Yeah, you should. It's a smart thing to do. Still use doctors is what you're saying. Got it. Well, sure. But don't just like, oh, because the doctor said, well, get multiple opinions, I think the root of it is that is that you're still allowed to make your own stand or take your own stances. Sure. Yeah. You know, regardless. But but also, you know, I wish when I went when I went to the pharmacy, yeah, they would just let me write my own prescription. Yeah, listen, great. The only doctor I trust is Dr. Mario. He's just always got a monster pills, man. And they were like, yeah, handy. Oh, that's a blue virus. I got the blue pill. Here you go. Oh, wait, the blue pill. Like the matrix, you know, yeah, the red pill. Yeah. What about the other? Oh, anyways, I guess we can do we want to talk with the animal crossing stuff yet? Do you guys talk about it? No, we did not. I want to talk about animal crossing. I mean, I haven't seen the rumor, but I do want to talk about it. I didn't I didn't put it in there. I kind of act because it kind of got updated today with even more information. So we just have to real quick. I'm listening. It feels like we're playing. You know, OK, so this comes from Nash Weedle. We guys don't know who he is. He's a person who's got some stuff right in the past and a lot of his other stuff is just pending.  New Animal Crossing games come in 2026. That's what he's claiming. And then it'll be some sort of ultimate version, whatever that means. Game concepts involve moving around, controlling vehicles, a large city with skyscrapers, adventure missions, puzzles and minigames, more collaborative multiplayer, which I can buy that. I can see them expanding on the multiplayer aspect more 2026. Along with the series, I'm assuming he's been like a TV series or cartoon series, believable, Nintendo's doing stuff. But then he added more today. That was yesterday. Today he added some of these concepts were actually discarded from the previous game. There's going to be a new monetary system within the game. I don't know what that means, like spending real money or new systems besides Bells. I don't know. A large shopping center where you can have your own store and sell your own designs to other users. I don't know if that's real money or in-game currency. Furniture, store, clothing, store, vehicle, workshop, etc. I think for in-game currency, that would be kind of cool. And then the last part that he added in said a separate city, completely online. So there's going to be a separate online city to interact with the connected users that will include minigames, vehicle races, cake throwing, apparently. You can celebrate birthdays, some sort of mouse hunt game. This is the basis that was started in a creative brainstorming prior to the start of development. So apparently these are just ideas that happened during the brainstorm session heading into development. Yeah, so I made a video about this. I think a lot of people made a video about it. Yeah, because we need something to talk about too. Hey, this guy actually has some credibility. So like, why are you talking about it? When I woke up today, I was like, oh, there's this video I want to make, but maybe I'll save it for another day because of this. I'll say as someone who likes Animal Crossing but doesn't like it enough to continue playing more than 30 hours. This to me is interesting because it sounds like they're kind of incorporating a lot of different elements, including some sort of Stardew Valley-like elements. Because if you play Stardew Valley, it's very Animal Crossing-like. It's kind of like a life-same. It's kind of fun to play and explore the world, meet people and farm and stuff like that. But also, you can go out into the wilderness or caves or find dungeons. And it's a little bit of like an RPG as well with some fantasy elements. And so this idea of having like different adventures in minigames kind of more integrated into the world of Animal Crossing might give me more to do and it might keep me more engaged for 20 to 30 hours. Because I don't know, for me, like just doing chores is an existential crisis. Yeah, that was one of my biggest complaints with New Horizons is I put 400 hours into that game and I don't know how I did that. Like... That was one of the worst. There are certain things in the game that like most players don't do that actually are the things that's really fun. Like, okay, a lot of people, they get that many hours because they decorate their island and to plan stuff out and do it, it's very tedious. So it's just naturally you'll put that many hours in. But like my favorite part of the game was like villager hunting because it's like shiny hunting in Pokemon. Like there's so many villagers trying to like visit islands to get your favorite one. It's like kind of tedious, but it's so relaxing and like it's like meditation almost.  It's like building Legos gives me the same feeling. Like that's... And that's like what the idea of the game is. But I will say, like I want them, like with New Horizons I had like 10 new villagers. I want them to have like 25. And then I agree, more stuff to do. So the people that liked the game for what it was with New Horizons will still have all of that and can play the game that way. But then for those like, are you like you, Andreas? Like there'll be more stuff to do as well. And there's room for that in the game for sure. Now I really would love to throw a kick at someone's face.  I think the concept of like adding more online stuff would be great because you went from new leaf that did have this like multiplayer mini game island where you can go and do stuff and like have mini games with your friends and it's not just, oh, come to my island. And then you go to New Horizons, which is just, hey, come to my island and look at stuff and leave. Like that's it. So I do want something more. Like I like New Horizons, but it's not my favorite. I like New Leaf more. And I do want to see them add more. The whole thing does kind of feel out there though. Like you can move vehicles around, like drive vehicles around. I don't know what context an Animal Crossing game would have that in. So I think, well, one, they talk about a city.  But let's say it's even within a traditional Animal Crossing setting, right? Like if you're doing some farming stuff, maybe there's wagons or there can still be bikes, you know? Sardu Valley has horses, right? Like there's, that's, you know, it's a, it's an organic. Oh, what if you ride your neighbors? Yeah, that'd be weird. Oh, okay. Well, maybe you can't do that because yeah. I think bikes are cool though. There are like frogs and turtles that you can like catch in New Horizons. Okay, that's kind of weird. Then you can have frog and turtle neighbors as well. Yeah. As well, so I mean that's.  Yeah. You invite your frog over to see your frog in the aquarium. Hey, is this your brother? I just want to know this guy. I don't just want to know him, but I want to know him. We need a couple, we need a couple new species as well. Yeah, I can get an axolotl. Let me know what they're. There's a lot of options for animal species and stuff. I haven't, there's like a gorilla, but is there a chimpanzee? I think there are. There's monkeys. So there's monkeys, but it's a chimp adjacent. Yeah. Is there is there an orangutan? I don't think so. I don't think so, actually. No. About time to get an orangutan. Oh, how like so like that? What they'll do is they'll take an existing species and make just one of them look like a similar species. So that's what they would do for like an orangutan if they added one. What if they had some dinosaur ones? Like, can you imagine like a T-Rex villager? Even though we have bones? We have dinosaur bones in the museum, like. But that's kind of fun, though, right? That's like, Hey, is this your dead relative that we're on display for everybody to look at? Yeah. And then they'll have some snarky response. Like, look, not every dinosaur is related to me, bro. Like, come on. It's like people asking me if I know every Canadian. And he's looking at you. Then he turns. What are the current gullager types? Because there's not that many. Hold on. Horses. Yeah, there's other horses. Chickens, birds, dogs, cats. Yeah, I think chickens just fall under like bird. Yeah, there's birds and big birds. Eagle type bird. And then there's like chickens. All right, so let me throw it at you. It's all under bird. You know how I suggest the riding horses? And you guys said, yeah, but there's horse people. There are horses. But what if you still could ride your friends? Like, no, like, what if there is some level of interactivity between each other where you can do like piggybacking? Yeah, right. That's, you know, I think of Redeads and Zelda. And I just don't listen. Well, they're humping your face. That's I'm not saying I want this at all because I think it's weird, but. Something they could add. Like Stardew Valley is a dating system or literally any kind of relationship system. How about a matter of what they have animals? So, but no, I actually like the idea. What if it's like a matter of reality?  Yeah. Yeah. And maybe they don't even have to date. Maybe they just become a lot of children. I didn't use to have to ship hooligans. I'm hooking up the horse. But maybe best friend status is you can become roommates. Like they don't have to like blatantly say they're dating or they got married. They can just be, you know, it leads it up for interpretation. The way they do is, right? Did you have more than just two? Could you have like? Do we? Yeah, why not? Sure. Lifestyle.  That's how it is these days, right? I just want something deeper in terms of like interacting with your villagers because because like Jake said, I don't want to date any of the animals. No, that's fair. I can't explain what they were saying. But what do you not want to date the horse? But that's why matchmaking is fun. You kind of want to date your your. You're playing. You play Cupid. I can't put in that captain. They weren't saying that. They were saying make the animals date each other. Well, we got there, but we started with. Oh, yeah. That's true. We got there eventually. You both. Like Jake was saying, everyone. Everyone goes out and does like these villager hunts and like you're hunting for your favorite villager. And then you get them and like the interactions are very superficial, like, oh, we just chat. But there's no like definitive relationship building system. Like, yeah, I almost want something kind of like how persona has the social links where like you can go out and do stuff and you have a visual tracker of how your relationship is built up. And like, obviously, not all of them end in romance.  But like just something to give you a deeper relationship. I kind of believe that it's also like part of the charm is that there isn't that is that they all have their own and there's not a ton of them, but they have their own unique personality, right? They're assigned a personality type and it's kind of cool how they're just like they are themselves, like no matter what, like they are their personality and it does kind of make them feel unique. And it's like different than other games where it's like, you can't have an input on it. Just like in real life, you can't like your neighbor is your neighbor. You know, there is actually like a friendship system in the game. There's no like stat bar that it gives you for it.  So like that there is an element that interacts with you more, especially like at the able sister shop, there's the one that like is really shy.   It's like an invisible gauge, but it builds up and then say your birthday rolls around. And depending on who you're closest friends with in the game with your other residents, they'll like show up to your birthday party or not. And so like, like, I think maybe just enriching that sort of like friendship system. Yeah, without without getting into like, yeah. Yeah, without getting into like romantic territory, I think would be fine. I don't need romance in all my games. Like we talked about this way back when we were talking about Fire Emblem, like months ago when I was on before. And it's like, I don't need the romance options.  It's going to be like the donkey dragon babies and Shrek. That's it. That's it. Animal Crossing Attach. There we go. Let's go. I like this. Yes. I don't. I got another tangent we can go off on to. What's that, Eric? What was your favorite part of Animal Crossing?  Even more. Crazy babies. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. You know what I'm saying? Hybrid is it to the become. And then you have like one animal that's like one 30 second of every animal. It's like 30 animals and one race is all right. All right. Let's let's let's let's make all the villagers look exactly the same. They all become like it's like a brown blob. All right. Listen. They just all become the malice from breath. I'll become dinner. I hate it. So there you go. Eric had a question for Jake. Well, Eric had a question for Jake. Jake, what was your favorite part of Animal Crossing? My favorite part of like New Horizons. No, no, no. Yes. So we turn it into dark mode. We go villager hunting. Yeah. I've wanted this for so long. Yeah. No, this is a way for me to take out those villagers that I don't like. So when I actually move out. Look, here's your. I actually think this idea is feasible, though. Like so the same way I think matchmaking is feasible. You don't blatantly make it a relationship. You don't blatantly make it murder, but maybe someone, you know, one is to another village. So maybe you're walking for me and somebody and. Are you are you wanting to implement trafficking into Animal Crossing?  Make sure you have to get credit for this. I would say to yourself, given credit. Listen, guys, it may sound bad, but, you know, it is a video game. And video games can have villains or have, you know, moral gray areas, right? If like, imagine if there's someone that's like getting rid of villagers or sending them away. I mean, you can get them back, right? Like, so they're not gone forever, right? But when it does, it kind of it enters almost like a new dynamic to the game where there's a mystery element, right? And so it's about kind of like talking to villagers and looking for clues. Maybe you can find like a shovel somewhere that's not supposed to be there. So I'm just saying, like, they could they could add layers. They could add layers to Animal Crossing that can make interacting in the city more interesting. Talents, animal, that's like we're describing a future South Park episode right now. Yeah. Oh, God. Well, wait, it's just like the little fish from South Park. We could add him to it. It's Woodland Critters. Yeah, Woodland Critters. It's Woodland Critters Christmas. Yeah. Yeah. If you guys haven't seen it, you need to go watch it. It's hilarious. OK. You guys remember Happy Nintendo? Happy free time or whatever. Happy two friends. Happy three friends. We got ideas on ideas on ideas on Nintendo. So do you all just believe this rumor? There's no doubt like or like, yeah, this is happening. Oh, no, I think it's meh. OK. I think it's highly unlikely even someone who's been reliable like Dash Riddle, that they know this much, this soon. Especially two years out from launch like that. It is. It is interesting. I just feel like something you would know like right before it's revealed rather than like. I want to know what would actually be kind of sick if there was an
