I Don't know how I pulled it off last minute, but you know what it happened You guys know who I am of course I am Nintendo Prime Right there smack dab in the middle where it says his mic is muted But it's really not because our setup isn't perfect at the moment We're using new software this people talk about in a bit Eric Moore. How you doing, but good good nice We have a mr. Mike Odyssey's here. What is going on? We have a brand new first-timer Small youtuber fusion 64. How's it going? Good? Thanks for having me. I was shocked when I saw the tweet go out I'm like, what the hell why not? You guys want any PlayStation news go check out his channel. We have a link down in the description You guys the the incomparable second sexiest man in Florida Andres restart Second was the first And then we have Nick Barrett from the joystick drift podcast, how's it going? It's going good in a very in a very similar vein to fusion 64 I saw the tweet go out and I was like I got nothing to lose by Reaching out and I was kind of shocked, but I'm happy to be here. Yeah, I'm glad I'm not alone Yeah, so so I don't care about like a lot of my people know this by now a lot of people watch our show I don't care about the size of the channels and the end that we have on I care about the conversations So when people reached out to me last minute I You guys reach out the first thing I did was go to the YouTube channels watch some content And I'm like, oh, yeah, just make sure it's not a bot I already ran into one on Twitter for me. I mean deep things are going I guess I don't even know if you guys are who you say you are They're all holograms All right, we're gonna start our show like we start every single podcast By talking about what have we been playing lately and let's go all the way down to the bottom right to Nick Barrett What have we been playing lately bud? Well, I Recently finished Persona 5 Royal for the switch And now that I finished that I'm getting into Fire Emblem Engage because I know if I don't play it now I'm never gonna play it because once tears of the Canaan comes out. That's it That's gonna be my game for like the rest of the year. So I'm trying to get through Some of my backlog now because I know I won't get to it later Okay awesome Let's go right above Mike Odyssey. What are you been playing lately? So Yeah, I've been playing Everybody knows what I've been playing. I've been playing tears of the canaan I can't think of anything Yeah, just wait until he busts out the box again and he's like I've been playing for it Breath of the Wild in Master mode, right? So right now I'm in a high because I just I just did it again and after my third try and in master mode, right? I got all my little the lab the first time I got all the shrines right almost 100% it But I didn't get all the memories right this time. I'm like forget the shrines I'm just gonna get and I'm trying to know what to get my hearts up and then get all the memories because I want to see that alternate ending and man That was sick. I'm like and I'm like The cloud is that the first time you saw the true ending. Yeah. Yeah, it's the first time I saw it and I'm much time it got me so much more high for tears of the kingdom I'm ready, you know, especially when Zelda takes up the sheikah slate and she says, oh, there's something wrong with this divine Beast, let's go check it out. Like, oh, that's where it starts. Let's go You know, the king tell the king that has a time jump and we never actually learn what happened They just ignore the divine be I hope there's an explanation for what how what the hell happened to the divine be somewhere I was expecting our kids between Zelda and Link. I'm like, hey, stop looking at each other.  So I don't I don't understand how Link is not the only one checking it out, right?  I mean I think they did it on purpose. Apparently there was a frog on screen. I missed that part What's the baby shirt, Nate? I wasn't forced to have to say anything regarding her, but it had to be you guys Here's the thing like it's easier for people who hey, I got a wife. I'm good She ain't mad. She ain't gonna get jealous. She checked out Zelda's ass too while she was playing Breath of the Wild So don't even worry about it. Again, it's a drawing that moves on the screen. So it's it's allowed You know, it's not like it's another real person. So it's a fake butt that kind of looks like Zelda's real Yeah, but I don't know Mike. You start watching some hentai.  I was feeling back up every time I'm like, man, you know, every that's a good thing every every single enemy if you leave if you let them for a little while Their their their lives will just pull back up like nine.  Just you know move up But it was pretty cool. I'm ready for tears of the kingdom I wanted to finish it by this time because I wanted to give myself some time break because Zelda's a long game, right? So jumping from let's you know, Zelda here's the kingdom I mean for the while to tears of the kingdom was gonna be like, okay, that's way too much You know my opposite problem somehow they can't say tears of the kingdom. It's just breath of the wild to yeah I wanted to give myself at least a month or two like a two-month break before I jumped in And of course just like Nick to get it to other games that I've been pulling off for a while and Blimey engages one of them. I got it on day one blade like a scene and just set it aside Unlike Eric I played about 10 minutes 10 minutes of Mario parcel as far as to hope 10 minutes literally put it aside so I mean I Mean yeah, I gave because game come out so much as a content creators You know sometimes you don't have time to play everything so I play a little bit get my first impressions get my first impressions out And continue to play everything else. But yeah, man I'm ready for tears of the kingdom. I'm ready for PAX Thank you Oh PAX Fusion 64, what are you been playing lately bud? So I started on Fire Emblem and I got about a few weeks into that and then Hogwarts came out and took me away from that Playing Hogwarts for a little bit and then this week we got PlayStation VR 2 So just been mostly playing that for horizon and Gran Turismo 7 Yeah, nice. It's a feel about it. Yeah, it's pretty good. I it's a big step up from PlayStation VR 1 It's a big step up from the Oculus Quest 2 There's some little issues with it like I thought People that got early oversell sold it a little bit. It's it's not as Visually striking as everybody said but it's still I mean VR is kind of like a whole different thing You have to it's not like traditional games. You kind of got to go in those expectations really So what do you recommend from somebody who's going from a cardboard box in a phone? To straight to that PS VR We are you do you have a PS 5? Well, I got PS 5. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'd be impressed if I go straight from from oh Yeah, for sure 100%. Yeah, definitely It's a big step up Like it's even a big step up from the quest to I mean the quest to is really good But yeah, yeah, I mean especially Gran Turismo is stunning like I might even just buy a wheel for that Other than that I think I beat Marlin to on NSO last week and then I got two kids a nine-year-old and a four-year-old and my four-year-old is just getting into like He was with Mario first and now he's like on the Kirby, which he loves Kirby.  He likes Meta Knight and like King DDT And uh, so we just got into Smash Brothers and like his mind was like blown when he sees like all of these characters He just got into well. Yeah, I know on this on the same screen. So That's awesome. That's basically it but my wife and I are going on a cruise next week. So it's gonna be all switch Okay, so yeah, I gotta finish Fire Emblem and start Metroid Eric, what if you've been playing lately bud? I don't remember if it was this week or last week where I actually 100% at full full 100% Sparks hope and yeah, that was it if it wasn't this week. It was last week I don't remember no I think I beat it last week and then fully hundred percent of it this week. I think it's all that way I don't know you did something.  Yeah, I mean Yes Let me ask you a different question. Yes. What are you planning to play in the future before tears of the kingdom?  Yeah, we're just So yeah, I mean anything right now, I guess would beat my last three days I've been in a nutshell training and yeah, no, it's it's Friggin a I did not know that there was an hour-long video on ladders Yep ladder safety hour-long video You say spark joke is better than the original Mario plus rabbits. Ah, no, I don't think so, but it's it's I Don't hate it. So it's I mean, it's it's right up there No, it's not as good but it's not I don't it's not bad So it I like it a lot, but I just don't think it is quite as good as but he could like it more I could okay. Yeah, I thought that I thought the Donkey Kong DLC was better than the main game for the first one The the final curse of battle though. Yeah, the curse battle was that one was awesome. That was sick. That one was awesome Awesome, I guess I'm just restart your buddy. What are you been playing lately? What if I'm playing lately? Alright, listen, this is what I've been doing lately. I I had a I've been having brain farts lately apparently so that aside Still playing Metroid. That's right. Don't forget it. They'll be playing Metroid forever. So Metro Prime pajamas Yo, I should get Metro Prime pajamas.  Can I get a quick Metroid tangent real quick? I went in last week the GameStop and they called me they're like here's your pre-orders ready So I got the PSVR so I waited a couple days I come I come to get on Friday the guys like yeah, we got you marked down as you picked it up already and I'm like No It's oh He's like we go. No, we got one copy left and it's open and like the the sticker residue is still On here you can buy it off. It is but it's just that it was my pre-order and I've given me this Half-used box.  Yeah She got a discount or something right? I know and I said everybody's Sculpting on eBay. So I'm like I just give me it. I don't care. Yeah, I mean Like you can probably clean off that residue, right? Yeah, it's fine, but I totally Yeah, no, you should I know they do that with the new games They just open it up and usually they hand it to you sometimes but that's a different pre-order come on I got I got to do copies from play Asia. So I should be receiving it by the time it's a prime four comes out At least it wasn't from living in run you might get it when much of a prime All right, all right, what am I gonna do with you? So I am still playing Metroid what I'm realizing the Metro is just like it's like a good comfort game Like whenever I just need to like Leave it alone, it's his pizza let him be all right. Listen, I've been playing Metroid for years. Okay I am an experienced Metroid player. I've already been scared when I was a kid.  Yeah, it's it's terrifying first for someone who's not like accustomed to it But for me, it's just comfort I can see Andre in the background with the music you and me and me and you together forever Yeah, it's in its Metroid Prime and it's like technical scary form.  It's a good time for me But also it is like a little bit of it a weird in between phase because I want it I do need to get back to fire. I took a break from that. I'm in the middle of that one and I have to come back and finish Engage I am planning to kind of I want to pick up one and two and play through one through three before Pickman four comes out as well but To Nick's point from earlier once Jesus the King who comes out that is going to dominate my life So I got a lot to do before then but also still playing game But I'm Gameboy Tetris. I show it to my dad's like, hey, remember this Tetris is like, oh, yeah But he like this remember some things like I think he's confusing it with one of the more recent Tetris is like Oh, yeah, I got a million of that. I'm like, no, no, you don't get a million of this Tetris It's that is a whole little difficulty doesn't even have a whole feature There's no whole feature in the original Tetris. So it's just like way harder But he he said oh, I got a million. So in my head. I'm like, I have to get a million to prove to him that I am far superior So wow, but I'm not even sure getting a million in this Tetris is possible I think I'm pretty sure he's misremembering another Tetris game because we've had our Tetris competitions before and with more modern You know, you can Google if it's possible Oh Erick said a Google it for you to be like just so you know, your dad's not crazy. He's just literally a master. Yeah No, I have a feeling he didn't get a million in that Tetris because I remember we used to play another Tetris and I'd be in his million score in that one. Oh, Eric looked it up. Oh Original Gameboy Tetris For NES Tetris a max out reached once a player hits 999,999 points NES what about Gameboy? Yeah, might be the same though, but I just did top score original Tetris and I play yesterday 15,000 points on my mouth so good 15,000 15 I think 15,000 it is is like a solid Then you hear though that you can get 999999 Gameboy Tetris World Record Holder has 780 or 748,757 Well, but here's the thing that's world record holder if your dad's claiming is that he should be the world record holder, right? So I'm pretty sure he's misremembering it What if the batteries run out probably before you would get that I have a score now, right? Well, you can plug in Yeah Fat Gameboy you can plug in the wall. Yeah, I had the the game. Oh, you know what? Yeah, it did. Yeah Yeah, the battery life and those things are pretty good, too. So they were pretty they weren't they weren't game gear They were no game gear was brutal Six batteries dead in an hour Anyways, so I thank you for looking up that confirms that either my dad is a Tetris God Amongst gods and no one knows about or he's misremembering and he's talking about another Tetris That I already beat the million score in anyways Talking for me and younger.  It's so interesting for me. It Roast me in Anyways The movie the movie you have to watch the movie I know I haven't watched it yet. I heard it's really really good I'm also pretty sure you were humming the Kirby. Yeah, I was like I was Look, you know what it's been a really long week Okay, because it's my turn now to talk about what I've been playing the last week and I've been playing a game called My kids have not had school so I've had to homeschool them for like four days so I have played absolutely nothing but Russian roulette of hoping that I don't hurt my children because I'm ready to punt them out the window I Love my children I am not a teacher and I hate homeschooling when they require me to become a teacher Not it's not that I can't do their home. Oh, I can do I can't as a reason I didn't go to college to be a teacher. I am not meant to teach these subjects to my children They need to go to somebody who's trained. I can't handle when one of my kids mispronounces a word Look, it's dumb. They're learning Except the one who mispronounced it was the word of the and it was by my 12 year old I don't know how a teacher deals with that. Oh boy, but at home. I can't handle that I can't handle the truth that my daughter can't Can't read Have you done the math yet? I mean the math is like totally different than we Do the math because you were taught how to do it give me the answer. I'll type the answers, right We just want to check my work dad. Yeah about that Um, look son, let me introduce you to a calculator Because like I don't need these sticks lines triangles or like 17 ways to solve, you know You won't always have a Divider by five and now we got this new way to do it. Okay. Well, how many fives going to a five one? Why can't we just do that? Why do we have to have like boxes and like? charts and triangles and Look at all the possible answers. It could be but it's this one or why don't we just get the right answer and Sorry, I hate I hate it and there's a fun story behind that The new math was not actually made by somebody who knows math and Other countries that have attempted to use this system threw it up instead of trash The US is the only country in the world using it right now shocker And there was a hefty hefty little money attached You that as a as an educator for 10 years my wife an educator for 25 you love it.  It's the best system of all time I'm trash because because they're not teaching kids to get the right answer I'm teaching kids to do the work and even if they they they show up show a process and still get it wrong The fact that they showed a process and they still get it right makes it correct. Yes They just have to do the work correctly a way to get five. They did the work correctly. They want to gotten the wrong answer But no, it's the price all about the process. We're teaching them how to process it will help them like no No, it doesn't because you know what happens and I have this happen with one of my friends kids You know down there in like calculus and stuff. They said everything they taught me in this new math We have to forget it to learn calculus. So I'm like It's almost like the process is completely irrelevant. So Dumb anyways moving on. Sorry. Hey, I look I look being a dad is one thing being a teacher is another I'm not meant to be a teacher moving on What am I doing gaming? So what am I playing lately? I just only only one game. I'm maddened I actually forfeited almost all my Madden leagues this week. I Tried to Excuse me finish off metro primary master this week, but I just got so slammed No, I'm not sure if I'm gonna go back to it now because I Earlier today when I was thinking about Busting out a game and then something else came up. I wasn't thinking about it I was thinking about getting back into my master mode run because I'm actually worried if I keep letting my children Rune my gaming time. I actually won't beat master mode before I get the tears of the kingdom And that worries me. So that's probably what I'm gonna be focusing on now for a while. Sorry. Sorry PlayStation 5 I know I said I was gonna play more Final Fantasy 7 remake. Sorry. Sorry. Okay, man You notice how we didn't apologize to you Dude, I'm good. She's right there. Listen, it's fine. I'll finish off I only have like two hours left in the fight. I'll put it Through it. No, I'm right, right. I'm gonna watch Die mode And it's kind of a disappointment if you played the original so you know what how but how about when we get together for packs next month I'll finish it for you No, that's okay You do in the time. We're at packs. You'll probably beat it in your free time there I have a feeling we'll be really busy. I'm really busy. I make I make the trips worth it So I'm I'm literally working. He'll beat it standing in line Yeah, what do I leave the hotel room for food And eat and and and to record footage and then I'm back at the hotel room up until like 2 a.m. Every day Everyone's while a pool, okay, you know what the pool Okay, I'm fat with bad knees Quick question before we move on cheers breath for the while Once you beat it I already be in it once the in the regular mode I noticed you you don't keep the bow at the end Why they should let you keep the bow and go back into the game and just do everything in sight, right?  I think part of it is The way breath of the wild is is like if I burn through all 25 of my Engine arrows to beat Ganon and then I go back into my save file. I have them all back It just reverts you back to your previous save before you fought again And it just gives you a nice little check mark that you did it Star I have a little star there, but that's it. I don't want us to be star. I want this one With the bow of light Such a great podcast so I don't even have the notes up That means that let's get into our first stop Just got the notes So well, this was kind of a shocker this week out of nowhere. Well, okay, Mike We'll get to you in a moment out of nowhere the Nintendo switch to is back in the news To the excitement of many to the Shagrana people gone. Here we go again And we stop and just it's never happening. We're never getting new hardware. Okay Did you guys get attacked too for just talking about it? It happens I know it completely just because I'm like, you know, I there's a there's a You don't like it. There's more channels out there, right? Covered it too You saw the title you chose to click that's exactly Anyways, I just don't like the whole shoot the messenger vibe like No, but you got to look at it this way if they click on your video they comment. That's free engagement It doesn't matter what they say. It's free engagement.  I don't believe them.  I just say it's bad video Let me put up this claimer out there. I run a family-oriented channel, right? I keep my community safe if you come to my channel dropping f-bombs and dropping whatever you like Then guess what? I have all the authority and all the power to make sure that you never see my channel again And since you didn't like in the first place, I'll make you the favorite I Know why Mike doesn't invite me over on his channel for live streams He's I'm scared of getting banned because I'm a drop of f-bomb Well, I don't like you well last week because I never do that streams There's the one celebration when I was gonna show up to within something But yeah, yeah, I mean like it's my job to keep my community safe I want to make sure that everybody in the comments has a an enjoyable I left one comment I left one comment on one comment the guy the guy's Name on top It's called the annoying everything annoys me. That was a screen name, right? So so he was writing like that man. I'm just so tired of screen switch pro talk I just reply with a laugh face because it goes together like, okay, I'll let I'll let it go because Sort of yeah positive. It wouldn't be you.  So no Um, so why is it back in the news? Uh a few reasons Well, what really started it was a 4chan post That went up last friday about scarlet and violet pokemon scarlet and violet and the dlc That's coming out for now. Remember the dlc wasn't announced at the time We knew there was a pokemon presents on monday claimed to be a developer and an outsourcing company who doesn't speak english natively and use machine learning or You basically google translate or something to translate stuff. That's what they claim Their english was a little too spot on for me to really think they used google translate I think they were just trying to throw off the scent, but you know what that's neither here nor there Not my problem. This person put it out there. They're the ones risking their job The thing with this post was they nailed pretty much everything down to like the exact name of the dlc name of pokemon The looks of the pokemon the types and even some stuff that technically wasn't announced yet Because this person apparently worked on all this stuff and that's why they have direct knowledge One thing that they said that got people really talking though wasn't so much Okay, at least a bunch of stuff that was confirmed on monday who really cares It's the stuff that wasn't known including the fact that there apparently is going to be a graphics update patch to improve the visuals of the games coming out with dlc too Which is the second part of the dlc that's supposed to be coming out winter 2023 So winter by the way doesn't begin to like the middle of December so highly likely early 2024 Yeah, and it says april which is actually not winter. It's weird. Any whatever It's gonna be early 2024 is when the dlc 2 is dropping anyways, and what he attached to it he said that that uh, The there will be a new switch model Model that the dlc that that the that this is for When dlc 2 drops now it was really unsure if he meant like The new models launching with the dlc or if the dlc is launching with that and the new model will already be out There's really wasn't a lot of clarification on that and to be fair He probably wouldn't know the exact release date of it anyways The only logical way he would even know about new hardware would be because he worked on or he's currently working on the graphics update patch Which he would need Yeah, a new dev kit with new hardware to actually make it because otherwise How the heck are you gonna make a patch for a hardware? You don't have access to so that is how he would know for people going Oh, why would he even have that's why when you're a developer you would get access to the dev kit So that's if he's making this patch and he knows when this patch is launching It's pretty safe for him to say the new switch would be out by then Now people were kind of like oh, maybe it's a mistranslation because he said etc. Okay Well, he came back used an md5 Hashtag to confirm Who he is which is the only way on 4chan to actually if someone claims that they're still the original poster adding more information The md5 hash is the only way to actually verify that because it's completely anonymous on that platform I mean he was able to give you the md5 hash and it matched up So we know it's the same person and he clarified a few things But the biggest thing he clarified was that he was talking about a next generation switch not a minimal upgrade Not like it's a new light version or he really meant performance patch. He didn't mean graphics enhancement Uh, no, it's all clarified. He literally meant there's going to be a graphics enhance the pack coming for our next generation switch um so That being said we're not done because of course that news breaks and people that are insiders are kind of like All right. I mean it's pretty legit so far everything in the postings is one of the most legit leaks from 4chan in a while Everything's like too exact to be like this person didn't know or it was a guess clearly. They knew so jeff grubb came out Uh on his little podcast and he just gave a little a little tidbit He's not saying that this is like a for sure thing that it's all verified and he's got all these sources on it But he said that hey he has actually heard That a new nintendo switch the next generation nintendo switch 2 whatever it's called will be announced by the end of this year and potentially released by the end of this year And he even noted things like it's about a 45 chance it releases this year Which for those who don't play fire emblem didn't get the fire emblem reference because it's a fire emblem reference that 45 almost feels like a hundred percent because of the it's It's great. Oh 45 chance to hit you're just gonna hit. It's just So, uh, anyways, he's not saying that obviously it is coming He even noted his personal opinion is that it launches in 2024 But uh, you said this is just what I've heard. I'm just putting it out there Treat it like a rumor because I don't you know, we have the pokemon post you can look at but we don't really have Anything more concrete what it basically sounds like to me is that now that this is out there Once gdc happens, which is where a bunch of game developers get together Uh, I think we're gonna have the flood gates probably open on this coming up But that's really where we're at right now. Uh, so I guess first thought to everyone here Uh, do we believe any of this did grubb put any more? Hairbats on this or limb bets? No, no hair bats on this one. Okay, the funny thing is he was right about metric He was yeah, I know he actually was that's a sad thing. I feel bad for us that he had a good Did you hear how he got his hair? I you know, I felt bad by my my binari in a garage at a house party. Yeah, it was fun Yeah, well just just to make it crystal clear for for jeff grubb's sake Yeah The the prime remaster thing was something that he was reporting because he had a number of sources Multiple sources not like one. I don't even think two probably Yeah, I had a lot that that backed it that were reputable behind the scenes and that's why it was a report This is a far cry from that from what from what I've heard. It's like what like one thing maybe right like Yeah, yeah, he said he said I don't have I don't have extra sources on this This is like Someone who heard it from someone so it's like a rumor of a rumor But he's just saying because of this pokemon thing coming out He thought it was worth mentioning that hey he has heard something that he wasn't gonna say anything about but now that this is out there You know, maybe it is something that's starting to get talked about. I think after the zelda stuff last year. He's kind of like I felt really bad from like after that last direct you could just see on that video like he was like, oh man He's like man, um Those sources are I thought were reliable or trash now. Oh my gosh. I'm in trouble. Yeah Well, I'm not feeling lightly it's coming out this year. This is the year of uh, the of whatever They just have to call it 20 20 3 been saying it's in the beginning My eyebrows are still there because I went back in the video and I said I would say my eyebrows if So I'm speaking to that this year will be this the year and I think it's gonna be being announced Earlier so I see an announcement for elite around july and august And then a release for the holiday and and I'm still thinking by metro prime four being a Uh, a game that's gonna come out with that switch to show off the graph the new graphics for the new console in 4k Andres you should be you should be excited Okay And I probably wouldn't be It better still come on switch. But all right, so I feel like they're gonna do they're gonna they are gonna release the The they're gonna announce the the new switch and they are also going to announce a plethora of games to fill out the year when it comes to that that console as well because we still have You know july and up is completely blank. We have no idea what's happening You know, I I went back again a year a couple years and by this point. We already have games Um forward to fill out the the the calendar year. Yeah, we did the situation so it's just I got more to add to that but Yeah, the rest of you. What do you what are you thinking? Mike's obviously all in I'm all in. This is all real. It's true. It's happening. What are you guys thinking? I saw it. I'm gonna say It's legit. I think It almost like I was looking at the lineup of games this year compared to last year and like last year To mike's point. We knew pretty much everything that was coming out Through the entire year give or take some like shadow drops that I guess But we knew a lot of what was coming out for the big months So when we got to the february direct and they didn't announce anything past july I was like, okay, that's kind of weird, but maybe at this pokemon presents They'll put a pokemon game in november, but then they didn't put anything for november So now i'm sitting here like, okay. Well, we don't know what's coming after july And if there really is new hardware coming holiday in like november october I think we could see some kind of like nintendo switch to presentation in july or august and that's where you get Here's all the launch games. Here's all the hardware details.  Like it's all gonna work. It's gonna be backwards compatible And I think that's where we get all the information, but they want to get zelda out the door They want to get pigment out the door and they kind of want to wrap up what they're doing with the switch now Before they move on to the next thing even though they're not gonna abandon the switch They kind of want to put a nice little bow on what they're doing now and then move on to the next thing Yeah, okay. Yeah, I like I like how you put that. Um, I'm not totally on team 2023 yet But it's kind of it's been it's been a battle throughout the year It's like do you 2023? Let's go and then the reports came out and then zelda had got no No sort of announcements for that.  And there's there's been some prime four speculations come up lately suggesting It might come out this year too with the primary master and other things. So it's I'm divided on on when I'm waiting on more information before I totally doubled down on what year it's happening now I mean as evidence presents itself. I feel that my opinion can change as it has changed um But I do think that there's absolutely credence to something happening around june That makes a lot of sense because the last published nintendo game that slated is july with pickman 4 So they need to do something. Um, nintendo has shown that they can have a direct in june They could shallow drop something for june. They can announce something for for august And they can detail july like they even if they don't announce a system Then they that's probably when they're going to have some sort of series of announcements be it Like three or four social media drops with a game dedicated director to or just a total like normal direct like something I think is happening in june that said I do like the idea of them announced if it is a holiday 2023 release I do think it makes a lot of sense for several reasons one There should be a mario game this year there should be To take full advantage of the mario move popularity now if it comes out next year not the end of the world It'll still get that boost and that still may happen But you know, i'm just saying it does make sense and another interesting sign Is it's that we've gone we've got game boy and game boy color I would say six months early because typically we get the online platform updates in september exactly So this was a little bit of a surprise But it could be a sign that they are trying to to your point nick put a nice pretty bow on switch now Wrap things up for switch now so they can start to prepare for what's to come And another interesting sign potentially right like these are possibilities not like 100% is the primary master shallow drop Because if nintendo's plan is to get primary master out before prime four And if jeffger was so See he was using such high belief that was going to happen last year It being shelved and then shallow dropped like this so quickly It may have been the case that things sort of aligned and nintendo realized Oh wait We might be ready for switch to this holiday and prime four also might be a launch window title as well We need to get primary master out asap because otherwise it won't make any sense hence the shallow drop almost out of nowhere, right? so It's a possibility like I do see some of the stars aligning But you know, maybe there's a little bit of a smudge on on our telescope and it turns out It's like a it's a march 2024 release or it's a june 2024 release like, you know There's different different things that can be shaken up here But I definitely see a scenario where nintendo could have some sort of event this june announcing things for second half But we'll see My telescope is clear man. It's called completely clear crystal By the way, did you notice that they moved the movie mario movie to the fifth? Yeah Those extra two days matter right something can be happening around that time Yeah, like Oh boy, here we go. I never know never I'm on i'm on team 2024. I think probably somewhere around march I feel like now that you mentioned the winter is like december through Whatever april may now I don't know whatever winter is but uh, I think that yeah, it's probably early next year I feel like they want to squeeze out one more holiday for the uh Switch you get as much sales as they can plus you would think if it was like if it was this winter they Why why not just hold zelda up for a few more months? Hmm And especially that's gonna I don't even want it this year if it's zelda's coming out in may because that's gonna be in my head Like as I'm playing this like man, I really should I just hold out and wait till the the next switch comes if it comes You know at the end of the year So I think they did hold out zelda as long as right Yeah, probably now that it was for the switch right from when it was the late So they actually did kind of hold up as much as they could You can't say as much as they could like if it doesn't at the hardware launches this year They've done do a release with zelda multiple times But if if let's say we do get an announcement a couple just two three months before zelda that's basically at the end You know, I I think I have an answer to this So I've been team 2024 coming into this year I literally one of the things I said on a lot of my live streams coming into uh to 2023 was like like they it's kind of done talking about this and ain't happening this year It is what it is Uh, it's 2024. Oh, then the nikkei report comes out and like oh, they're negotiating for mass production for second half of next year okay, cool Well, we might hear about some stuff at the end of the year But it's a long ways off at this point from where we are And then this happens, uh, and there are some things that that since the nintendo direct and even with even zelda And I wasn't considering That until this report happened that actually makes a lot of sense Um Even some words from shintura for akawa that I wasn't considering because I thought he was talking He's referencing something entirely different Because he never really clarified the comments and I went back and reread the q&a just to make sure He never really added the clarification of what he meant. Um, basically The evidence for it is obviously this this post Before it and obviously jeff grubb hearing it from a person heard from a person whatever it doesn't really mean that much But also that we don't know anything for the second half of the year because hey Maybe they don't want to tell us anything because everything they're going to tell us about is for the new system And they want to wait so they're going to show the new system So that would then make sense Why the february direct that said games mostly in the first half of this year Literally just stuck to games in the first half of this year besides technically pikmin Yeah Where they announced today was like the next month, which is just out of the first half of this year But anyway, so there's that obviously we just don't know anything and we've never not known Anything at this point for the second half of the year There's always at least been something that's been announced for the fall. That's not just dlc and at this point There's been nothing announced. So there's that The other part actually is when zelda comes out So zelda comes out may 12th, which is a really weird release day for zelda, right? If they if they cared about bumping their financial results They could have released it in march like they've done with other You actually look through the history of switch They've had like a semi-decent big game coming out right around march almost every year because they're boosting those numbers They're boosting it up and they're Hey, look, maybe our holiday wasn't as exciting But look what we just did and this is going to keep selling in the future months But they didn't do that this time. No gravity net origins Yeah, bay net origins, which is not going to be obviously a system But i see a master A primary master It was number one on amazon for a while. Yeah, so like a day So the the tiers of the kingdom date I find to be interesting that it's in may Because if there is a new system coming out, let's say november, right? That's like the traditional launch month for our platforms Well, this happens to be kind of like smack dab in the middle Of like the beginning of the year and the system launch but kind of dropping it in may Uh, and it made me wonder for a moment about something shinter for a kawa said in his q&a where he mentioned We are entering an unprecedented Uh era in situation with the nintendo switch everyone just thought oh because you mentioned. Oh, we're entering year seven This is unprecedented We're doing we're doing something unprecedented and he didn't really clarify what he meant by we're doing something unprecedented Everyone just assumed it's oh the switch is getting a full seven years a full eight years that is unprecedented Nintendo replaces things every six years. That's just how it goes. So that's what he meant We're we're we're entering this era of unknown With our platform being the longest out But and I can't remember who brought this up in a comment on one of my videos. Sorry. I hope you're here in the live stream And you can let me know if you are um There's this idea That nintendo has always in the last year of their system coming out Never released a system selling game They just don't when they're leading into a new platform coming out. They have games They have their paper mario color splashes and even even fire emblem But they never really have a big big big system seller because why wouldn't you save that for the new platform? But you know what company always has big system sellers leading into a new platform coming out playstation So playstation has a very interesting strategy goes to shashima last of us part two those dropping Arguably bigger games than anything that launched with playstation 5 But they still did it anyways They kept the ps4 momentum heading into the next platform and nintendo's never done that Nintendo just kind of lets the platform kind of die and then they bring out something new and hope that people care But if this is going to be one of those iterative platforms where it's going to be a new generation of what they're doing now improvements better joy cons better hardware better scream whatever I don't even know if they need to do better streams as the OLED but the point is It better everything and they're and they're says we're taking your gaming that you have enjoyed the last six years And we're going to the next level and whatever their selling point is Maybe they get maybe they throw a r camera on the back of it or something I don't know whatever they decided to do they they've been trying to like to throw some sort of weird game again I just hope it's not like going back to glasses 3 3d or something anyways, um, whatever that is What's interesting to me is Maybe what he meant by unprecedented is instead of us letting our platform die The unprecedented thing is we actually are going to release games between now and this next system coming out Metroid Prime remaster now we're dropping a system selling game to keep momentum of switch Actually healthy and then hey, that's what we're not technically done Because we're also going to give you a Pikmin in July to also help bridge the little bit of a gap Because maybe we won't have a game for a couple months because we're launching a new platform And we have some great dlc this year too and amazing dlc as well And so blade 3 the Mario Kart like yeah So like I think you you can kind of look at that and go that is unprecedented for nintendo They've never showed that level of support to a platform. They're replacing at the end of the year So if that is the unprecedented thing then that kind of makes a little sense because that means they're learning a lesson From another company that does iterative platforms that you never let the momentum of your system die Leading into the next one you want to keep the demand strong So when you get to the next one Everyone's like now I want that new thing because all these amazing games that are already just came out are now just better graphics enhancement patches Everything's backwards compatible now, you know tears of the kingdom could sell systems this holiday is an example I'll also know to nowhere because now we got a dlc drop combined with you know a 4k a patch update and so it's it's one of those situations where If that's the unprecedented thing nintendo is doing i'm happy about that because i'm tired of nintendo letting their systems die Yeah, um, yeah, i'm right there with you 100 percent. I mean to your point um We're hearing this apparent leak that scott and viad's getting a graphics um enhancement patch right Well, that does more Coinside with the idea of what sony does and I we've talked about it before I've told you guys my idea about how with jesus the kingdom Maybe prime 4 if it ends up coming out before switch 2 like they would have those games get Graph enhancement patches alongside a major dlc Kind of like a a mild somewhat Similar to a miles morales situation Maybe it's not like a a whole dedicated release, but it might have a physical release something like torna So, you know, they can definitely use that as like a like a secondary launch And you also get a little bit of a double dip scenario as well And nintendo loves those double dips look at the primary mass or shower drop slash physical release So go for that game of the year edition for tears of the kingdom Give us a new quest like maybe an island just comes out of the water somewhere It's a whole other area to explore a year from now and it has in it and some 4k 60 fps on switch too Like that would just be A huge selling point for people and if they price drop switch it'll still sell for two to three more years It'll probably pass 150 million And if it's if you got that backwards compatibility if if all the e-shop downloads and the and the nintendo online stuff online stuff Just goes over seamlessly But they make sure that this system feels like a substantial upgrade like you look at ps4 for ps5 It it's it's better because it's just straight up more powerful You know like just make it a much nicer experience from a specs perspective and people were going to buy if you look at switch And the power jump they could do now work A power jump they could do now would be even almost look more impressive than going ps4 pro to ps5 But what is the most what is the best selling sku right now? For switch. Yeah, it's all that. Yeah, people are paying just for a screen. Oh, yeah, exactly It's only it's only for the adult is why I can't do the jump but it's sure people are willing to buy Pay it for a 350 dollars for just a better screen But imagine a four dollar switch That is it does 4k I've been one of an audio car. I think you meant four hundred dollars But it sounded like four dollar four dollar four dollar four k switch. Oh, yeah Let's just say there's a record switch is better battery life better joy cons better better pro controller You know, it's four four k visuals better performance across the board with better third party support Yeah, listen. Listen. Listen. What's happening here? I can tell you what's happening here Two words The two words two names Furu kawa cook Okay, Furu kawa Cook the nintendo president. We have now Cookie mama Yeah, so so basically the nintendo president we have now is a find a finance guy. He's a he's a safe guy He's wanted. He wants to make sure that nintendo doesn't completely go down But he wants to make sure that stocks prices don't completely, you know Go all the way down before presenting the next big thing. He wants to keep everything steady Just like when you release an iphone Or s 5 5 s 6 6 s that's a way of keeping stocks high for nintendo I own stocks. You better not, you know, miss more money. Anyway, so You know, I'm gonna find all the stocks and tank it All right, this is what's happening with with nintendo now now They are they are under new management and this new management is really thinking thinking ahead of time They wouldn't they want to make sure that when you plan ahead They have all the momentum with them instead of just trying to build up all over again Just like the nintendo online Um sys uh leak that happened that said that nintendo online will proceed with With uh with the service right nintendo switch online will go on to the next gen service This is all his thinking making sure that we built up this library We have a subscription service. We have all these accounts that are coming in We want to make sure that we we proceed with this and we let we reassure people that Everything they own now will move forward with them There's no there's no guarantee that everything they do near will come back Well, but you know, but at least everything that you own now Will actually move forward with you, you know with your nintendo account because the the best the big the big thing He's worried about is nintendo accounts, right? So, yeah, like andrey said, he'll present this brand new dish with 4k resolution and a whole bunch of other features. They're gonna add a new camera Hopefully the dollars. Hopefully they add a chat system in there somewhere, you know Imagine it was only four dollars. It's not bad. Not bad, right? Anyway, they'd be setting some records also some massive profit losses. Yeah And then And take all of this and I think the selling point will be that the selling point will be hey You have your brand new upgraded nintendo console Log in with your account and you have access to all of your previous games Now, I'm not I don't know what they're gonna do with physical if they actually Decide to change the cartridge technology what they do with that I think they'll add a little nub to it like they did with the three guys Yeah, they'll add maybe a little a different slot But it's like like a dual slot where the old cartridges also fit You remember the game boy the game boy had an anti nub and the game boy color just Rounded it out so you couldn't there was no nub. Yeah, like the 3ds you could just stick your ds cartridges in the same slot But um, yeah, but you can't take a 3ds cartridge and put it in the ds I think it would be something similar to that where it's pretty much the same tech But they're just trying to make sure customers don't accidentally put like a switch to game in a switch because it's not It's not gonna work, you know, all your games are gonna come with you But for those enhancements, you're gonna have to get the definitive editions. Yeah, that's the way that's the play station Yep, that's play station way You want that mario odyssey definitive edition? You got to pay for it Yeah, I also want to address a long for mario odyssey. Yeah I want to address this like I keep seeing people in the chat and also like I've just heard it and seen it in video Comments and stuff the whole like well, why isn't it coming out with zelda? Why aren't they delaying zelda to this new console like They're acting like they need the new console to play Zelda like you're not doing this one zelda in 60 fps. Yeah, I think that's where I went I mean, I understand that but at the same time like The only way I see this working for nintendo is if it's like an optional upgrade At launch where it's like do you want your games to look better? Of course buy the new console But if you don't have $400 to fork over you're still going to be able to play tears of the kingdom in metroid prime 4 And all these other things and they're still going to look great and they're going to run great But if you want just that tiny little bit of extra performance, you can get the new one You know, that's a really good point And that that's another reason to they kind of explain to tears of the kingdom situation because maybe nintendo's intent Let's let's let's just assume it's coming out this holiday, right which i'm not all in on but maybe right hypothetically, right They do that It's four hundred dollars, which is kind of a premium for nintendo standards Your price drop normal switch it continues to sell and the whole idea here is it to your point tears of the kingdom comes out The everyone who has a switch that that 120 plus maybe 150 million plus a year from now Can still play it the same would apply for prime 4 But what's going to happen is is that they're going to facilitate a smooth transition So then two years from now when they start to phase out switch Enough people will have switch too That they can start to have like just straight up dedicated exclusives without worry being worried about losing out on sales I think we get price drops this fall and then 2024 They haven't dropped the price on any of these yet. They're still selling out.  They should do the same But the difference is that back for switch when they announced it october 2016 They didn't have a holiday to have any sales. So like that's classic, baby Right, exactly. And that's they came out with the the nes and the s any classic back back years because they didn't have holiday sales They needed something So that's what they had but they could afford to announce switch then because they weren't bastardizing any holiday sales So that's how they were to facilitate a march release then they were to do that now They would they would be ruining sales However, to your point fusion if they do a significant price drop for the holiday to combat that then it might make sense But otherwise, I wouldn't say I couldn't I wouldn't see it So a while back I said, you know what they're not going to use a switch name But now I'm more I'm bored what they are going to use a switch name New information, Mike. I feel like it's a coin flip right now new information. So I'm like, yeah I got any information new information is what that this point here this year. There's a graphic update for pokemon That's an update. Yeah, my my my my I received an update. So I have to you know, adjust accordingly But that shouldn't be an update for you. You always expected this year. Remember. Well, yeah, I did I did yeah that part but I'm saying the naming the naming of the console. Yeah. Oh, yeah We had a huge argument about yeah. Well, what what made you change? I know I need to know what evidence made you change the only evidence is is a graphical patch and a code name That says next generation My opinion was That I Was just pulling all your legs on that episode the entire time. Yeah, I haven't been able to walk since I only had one leg I wasn't I wanted to be to play the the you know, devil's advocate Well, it was actually I was actually fun. I had I had fun being the villain for one time It was actually good. So yeah, and welcome to the dark side, bud. Anyway, but um, What I was thinking is that Metro prime 4 Was also a game that's Uh, it's it's promoted for the switch Right when they came when they were supposed to come out It's it it becomes a launch title. It's still promoted for the switch You know, so hopefully I mean if they do go with the switch name I hope they actually do something good enough so that they can they could really You know Not cause confusion with people. Oh another switch. I already have a switch No, this is not the same exact console that you have. This is the next generation console You know, I mean do something different make it into an oval shape Make it into an airplane Do something that makes it look different and behave differently than what you have Because if they go with the same exact form factor with the same exact little look on the joint console We're gonna people are gonna be confused and we're gonna have a holy wee you debacle all over It's a very easy way to solve this The logo just needs to have a fat two on it Yeah I was gonna say you like a consumer confusion gets brought up, but also like PlayStation does it they got a PlayStation 2 3 4 5 xbox has the 360 the 1 the s the x like xbox Honestly is more confusing But it's infinitely confusing. They're gonna slap a new one I think it underestimates How smart the consumer base actually is Like i'm not saying they're like every consumer is the brightest bulb in the box, but I don't think they're So dumb that they wouldn't be able to figure out. Okay the nintendo switch 2 or like when you go into game stop for christmas Um, my kid wants the the new metro prime 4 What do I need for that and game stops like okay the nintendo switch 2? Here's what it does better So I think honestly they need to just pull a playstation and just make it nintendo switch 2 and just call it a day There's no need to if it ain't broke don't fix it Sony's copying nintendo like crazy nintendo copy sony 2 The good marketing that places from the beginning is that they separate their company name From their their their console name from the geckos So they they're sony, but they have the playstation and what they're doing is places one the two the three the four And they kept it from the very beginning nintendo has been always obsessed that no this is not called nintendo This is called a this and nintendo is the company because remember i remember when nintendo entertainment system came out They had an entire flyer a big thing Telling people hey don't call us to nintendo because it's not called a nintendo. It's called Uh entertainment system Wasn't alive then I called it the nintendo. So yeah, everybody called the nintendo. Yeah, people called the say on the nintendo because And anything you play games on nintendo So that's that's why they they're all over the place with the naming the nintendo the super nintendo The the the game cube the nintendo 64 all that stuff is it's like uh Like uh, I call like uh, Puerto Rico.  They finally Brought them together into into the nintendo switch. We have a mobile device anna and anna console that could stay at home and just proceed with that Lightning but they need to make it very clear because it's not the people it's the marketing the marketing's job is to actually Be as broad as possible be as clear as possible be as precise and if you're selling something you're selling coffee Hey, it's not juice. It's coffee, you know for selling milk. Hey, it's not ice cream It's milk even though they're both white, but they're not same, you know You know, you have to make sure that they the the marketing is on point so that their next Console is is not a flop, you know, let me because marketing is everything I feel like it's the same form factor They have to go with the switch to like Mike when you said with they're following the tim cook strategy I mean you just put a two on it. That's all No, I think, you know Or even next time just call it switch next then or something like that switch Or something something that's that that go, I mean, I'm not saying call it that that's horrible I'm just saying do something that is that is obvious that said that the people can say like This is the name of it. Okay, right switch differently Do something different from with the with the controller make the design different so that people can actually separate it from from the first from the first Um iteration of it I'm just sitting over here in a membership gifting battle At the moment Shout out to Bama Hut for the membership. So now I'm like, no this this happens like once a month every time We're him and I just go back and forth and say, um I mean to me people understand like one two three. I mean games do it all the time too. It's easy The word where Nintendo made the mistake is they went to a random letter We you okay, but it's not too. It's not I don't think I think they forgot There wasn't a we accessory that used a you in it. Well, yeah, that too, but maybe stopped it a lot of stuff on there. Yeah um But also the other reason why I think it it's going to be a switch, you know name As well as because they keep referring to this as the switch family of of of you know systems Yes, we have a what three systems now But I think it's They've never really done like you already for how how about just no Throwing away a brand name. That's a household name. That's right. All right, right That if the device is still going to be a home console and on the go Why the hell throw away the best brand naming decision you've probably made since we I think the best we could do is just put a 4k next to it switch 4k Nintendo switch 4k That's it. No, I mean, yeah, they could do that Like it would with like three asterisks next to it. I still think switch two is better just because if you put switch 4k What do you do after that? Some people you have to buy two of them You put you put yourself against the wall if you if you do that I think switch is better next one I think also switch 4k sounds almost like a mid-gen refresh. Maybe I mean Sounds like a mid-gen rich because this is still sweet Switch two is probably the best way for them to go because I think about the 3ds And how they just the naming with that got kind of convoluted because there was the 3ds and then 3ds xl and then the 2ds and then the 2ds xl and then the new nintendo 3ds and then the new nintendo 3ds xl And it's like that was so complicated and then they started doing exclusive games for the new nintendo 3ds And then they didn't work on the old one. It's like, okay, just put nintendo switch to Like nate said you've got a household brand. You've got a household name I could walk up to my grandparents who have never like touched a video game console in our lives They would know exactly what a nintendo switch is just because me and my sister and my cousins like All have switches and they would know so it's a household name. So why Abandon that for the sake of like, ah, we need to you know, we need to throw 4k on there We need to do whatever like it's ar the nintendo switch ar it does ar now even though that was Not a great feature on the 3ds. So don't don't put it on the switch. Don't do it. Don't it's not worth it I actually like the nintendo switch 3d 3ds I mean They could go back to the dual screen and then we can get like just straight 3ds ports to switch And i'd be okay with that because the 3ds was my console That was that was my nintendo system was a 3ds. So i'm okay with that I got thumbnail like that with the little little open screen Yeah, okay. Sorry. Sorry. I just you know, bam. I just dropped the big 20 spot and i'm just like It's like no no no anyways, um moving on uh, we have another topic to talk about I suppose Um tears of the kingdom dlc. So uh to get a little context on this there was an update to the official website uh, I think earlier this week or over the weekend or something and uh, they didn't really whoever updated the website Didn't really complete the update and they included a thing at the bottom that said dlc requires the full game But then they didn't have the asterix Uh next to anything on the website. They ended up updating the website later in the day after everyone started reporting Hey, did they just confirm dlc? Uh, so dlc has not been confirmed for tears of the kingdom. However What's interesting, of course, is that well breath of the wagon dlc So why wouldn't this get dlc? But then also maybe there's a new system So maybe this kind of all ties together And you know what I'm gonna just restart take the the lead on this for a moment because he actually did a video on this today Oh, wow. How how nice of you sure All right, cool. Um, yeah, so basically, um on the website it says If you look at the very bottom, which is everyone with whatever one reported on it says There's the second one that has two asterisks says Um, something along the lines of let's see. Do I have still pulled up here? I do um I'll read it to you real quick It literally says full version of game required to use dlc for that game Sold separately without context. This would suggest. Yeah, okay. So there there's dlc To buy when you have the full game that is 100 correct However context is important When you get the context and you read what the asterisks is for further in the digital edition section It says by the digital version of download Directly to your initial switch system no code required plus earn my nintendo gold points You can use toward more games and dlc double asterisks The gold points you can use to buy anything on the e shop So what that dlc mentioned is referring to is dlc For any full game you would need to buy on the e shop That doesn't just mean that wouldn't mean to use the key would mean mean literally every other game And to the kingdom could be included in that someday if they announced dlc for but this is literally just saying Hey, most games with dlc. You need the full game four to actually enjoy Then that's what it actually means So it's obvious we're going to get dlc for through the kingdom right and and you know, I totally yeah I definitely agree that we're going to get that. I mean if you look at Every major nintendo published game the last year fire room expansion pass platoon three expansion pass xenoblade three expansion pass Scholar and violet expansion pass and here's another interesting to note all of those are follow-ups to games that already came out on switch Which also had Expansion passes and what chooses the kingdom a follow-up to a game that came out on switch a few years ago Which also had an expansion pass. So what are the odds of this having an expansion pass? fairly high But you I wouldn't say it's a hundred percent because this is a sequel And not every single nintendo game has gone dlc. Mario Odyssey didn't have an expansion pass But if I had to bet money, I'd say yeah, we're definitely gonna get dlc And I just said real quick on on the fact that you brought the points there Dude points nintendo has a really cool system when it comes to those points because I just today I checked my my account like Wait a minute. Use your points when I check the account like I got 20 dollars in points. That's really good That's 20 dollars off my next game. You know, it's more than taxes I'm gonna I want to save that on my for what here's the king Because I'm gonna get the physical version. I'm gonna I don't care if I probably have to we'll pay on ebay for the For the collectors edition. I'm still gonna get it plus. I'm gonna get the physical edition So I'll just use this for the I mean, I spent a hundred bucks on sonic Like the worst hundred bucks I've spent in my life So you're saying it's not a good game 100 not my cup of tea 100 I first bought it on the switch, right? Nate knows uh, we're gonna switch it was just it looked so horrible Everything was just like bad. So when I have I have my xbox series x. You know what? I want to enjoy this game Uh, but you know, so I bought it on the series x And I still didn't like it though there you are I wish the gold point system wasn't so convoluted if you buy physical games because like I've bought brand new physical games that are over a year old But because of the way they do Goal points on the cartridge. It's like, oh, well, you can't redeem goal points on the cartridge If it's over a year old. So if I went out and bought breath of the wild today, I don't get the goal points for that So it's like Okay, well, that's kind of stupid like I bought it brand new from game stop. It's not like I got it used um, and I think that's Very dumb. They don't like the way they do that when you buy a game That's been out for over a year Then those games do not qualify for the goal points. No, not the physical. No I've gotten quite a few where I went up there and hit the button. It says, yeah It's past your time that you can collect the points That's interesting. Yeah, and it's only for physical too because if you buy it on the e shop, obviously You can actually call the Nintendo customer service and let them know. Look, I just bought this game. Here's my receipt Here's my date. I can send you everything Where's my goal points to probably give it to you because it's a brand new game If you buy on digital online, if you buy the breath of the wild digitally online right now, you get the points You know might not Get those points. There has to be something with with with the skew number over at game stop or wherever you purchase it Where maybe it's not updating correctly as showing as new um So they do that so that you don't have to buy you don't buy a game from your neighbor and then you want to Add right to it, you know, um, so I would call Nintendo and get get get that take care of because I Was on physically actually I purchased one originally and I got my game my my goal points that game's been out for Over two years now I bought another animal crossing game um for my niece I have to go points for myself for myself and I was able to get the goal points physically So call and get get a girl Nintendo get your points, man I mean the way they do it to begin with with Physical is stupid. I mean honestly if it's a brand new game Yeah, they should know that it's a brand new game and it should prompt. Do you want to collect your goal points?  And if it sees that you know, you still haven't collected your goal points for yet It keeps prompting you every time you start it up. Do you want to collect your goal points? I Why do I have to think about going into this going over to here going to this and that's like just just prompt me Yeah, you got to like dig through the menu to get to it. Yeah, I can tell you why and it just engages you to go into the shop too to buy stuff so I can already tell you why Because physical copies like when you buy a digital You you guys are just thinking of yourselves. You're not thinking of parents Parents buy digital copies of games. They also buy physical copies of games for their kids Kids aren't going on the e-shop and buying games the parents are And the parents sometimes centralize all that on a parent account to let multiple kids have their own accounts on the switch To play the digital library or the physical library You don't want to annoy children by having pop-ups They can't do anything with because they don't actually have the nintendo account So as a parent before you give the kid the game the kids So when you gift a brand new game to a kid, you're gonna tell the kids Sorry, give me the game to open it me put it in the switch first They can open it I'll put it in the switch and I'll redeem the codes and then you can have it or two seconds or or don't annoy your child And just let them enjoy their game Or we could we could go back to the 3ds era where they literally put a paper code Yeah, that's in the in the box. Yeah, and then it's there and then it's not prompting you every time you turn on the game And you don't forget about it because The paper's right there when you open the case I don't want to be annoyed with prompts anyways Yeah, like a little qr code inside the game. You can just scan it or your phone and just gonna add it on there I originally was gonna say it should be automatic But then I had to consider well when you have a physical copy with the family You know, you might not want it to get redeemed by certain accounts. So yeah Um, that's weird. Yeah, so I Look, I'm really good.  It adds up. Um, so Yeah, I don't know. I don't I don't know if there's really much of a You can put codes in the thing You could have you could have a prompt you could have a lot of ways I I just I don't really worry about it that to be honest what I'm more worried about is Are we getting dlc for tears of the kingdom? That's what I'm worried about 100 percent. Yeah. Yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna go on record right now and I'm gonna say My personal prediction We're when we get that inevitable tears of the kingdom direct because we still Need to know a little bit more about it Uh, I think they're gonna pull a xenoblade a fire emblem However, like they have a pattern of it now They're gonna announce tears of the kingdom expansion pass and there's gonna be day one dlc And then there's gonna be like, okay now here's three more waves that'll release For the rest of 2023 or whatever because they've done that with multiple games now where it's sure Oh xenoblade here.  I don't know how they're gonna handle that but I hope it's not being dlc It may be unlocking the game and then locking it. I'm locking it will be in the game.  Yes You're paying for something like if you bought the dlc and you don't actually beat the game You're paying for something you'll never actually get to experience. It's it's I think they have to do the same thing all over again because if people buy the first time they're gonna buy the second time Yeah, I mean with with pack one you also get trial of the sword, which is really cool So yeah, it's cool. I hate day one dlc because if it's done for day one It should have just been in the game. Here's my thing. It's cool But we used to get that built in with the game with twilight princess Like we skyward sword at hero mode built into the game and you're looking at me. Have you ever heard of the cave of trials? I think that's why princess hg. We're lucky. No, let's pay extra for that That's a part of the game breath the laws way bigger than twilight princess I I understand that and all and all this is is like a rush mode for 60 levels Like they could have put that into the game without charging you for it Yeah, but they added a second one Was like why? Yeah, but hero mode they did start adding in skyward sword which it would it is interesting that happened I think day one dlc should be relegated to like cosmetic stuff Like if they want to add a xeno blade 3 noa outfit for link, that's your day one dlc like It's not really gonna affect if you do or don't have it but it should just be a pre-order bonus Like yeah, you got like the switch shirt. I think so.  We're gonna hate me, but no We're seven all of those amiibos were already old Years away from those conversations coming back We're seven years away from all that amiibo and are they gonna reprint all of them for so people can get the Costumes for all that.  They didn't sell Why not just throw they're gonna throw this the skins in the store for five bucks a piece But it's but it's but they sold amiibo cards too. They were I Yeah, clothing. Yes. Yes. Yeah, like I I'll make every episode of the of the show Restless links. That's it. Yeah, he is and everything I mean because I didn't have all the amiibo for breath of wild I would easily bought those in the store if they were like five bucks piece. I know you people are gonna Yeah, I would love a reprint, but I don't I don't think they're gonna just put costumes on the e-shop for purchase They're not gonna Well, if they want to give you a way to digitally buy amiibo I'm fine with that but I think I mean, yeah, that there was no way to buy of those like a lot of them Well, I mean You can go on amazon by all right, sure But they didn't they didn't get that you're not supposed to do Right, but they didn't tell didn't get any of that money if you went and did that Yeah, you know, it'll be cool. You know, it'll be cool that that if if in the next gen system DLC included skins for your for your wallpaper like your your first you like your your home page and and and sound Right like little time like like if you open if you if you want to get the theme for tears of the kingdom You install it on your switch because it came with a dlc and it came with its own sound So when you open your your nintendo switch, it does a little like a little jingle from from the game That'd be amazing. It loads loads of Um, same thing same thing for andre for the metroid, you know, you can open up and you see samus in the in the back I was thinking about zeno blade, but you know, sure I would kill for some zeno blade themes, honestly I mean, that's something that that could be involved in dlc like if you dlc day dlc day one Because every every game you get that could be in a dlc day one You get that skin you get that that theme for your for your new Next gen. That'll be really cool. It's a good idea. There were a lot of PlayStation 4 games That I just bought the deluxe edition because it came with like a theme or whatever.  Yeah, totally. Yeah, like I would do that for all of these Yeah included that there are some games Like for there are some games where I won't necessarily buy the dlc for right like i'm probably not gonna get the dlc for fire I'm gonna I will finish the game, but I I don't know like there's some games I just don't feel like getting the dlc for zeno blade. I have I love zeno blade. I'm a huge zeno blade fan I won't get the dlc until the story's dlc comes out I'm gonna double dip and I couldn't wait on the zeno blade dlc So i'm gonna end up double different when that story expansion comes out and I gotta get physical I have to be honest. Oh, you're gonna get the physical. Okay. I only play a deal uh zeno blade because I was an interview Noah Matthew McIntyre and and I actually got into the game and then I never went back. I need to go back and finish it because it's amazing It's a good game. You know, it's a good game. Yeah, and I keep I keep hearing zeno blades. You know, I'm like, you know Why this is just a sign. This is just a sign. I gotta go back and finish it zeno blade is a good final fantasy Really it is. Is that good? That's I would It is really good. It's it's not obviously at the popularity of final fantasy, but I mean We're talking about quality. Yeah That gives me the sense to go back. I mean, there is only one internal game up for for game of the year nominations Um, I think zeno blade zeno blade was snubbed at the game awards not for game of the year But like for rpg and sound track not be enough for best Soundtrack is the most atrocious one because you look at you look at the amount of Obviously, you could argue quantity versus quality, but if you listen to zeno blade zeno blade is straight up quality But it also has 10 hours of quality versus like 20 to 30 minutes for all the other games in terms like total audio track time What was the soundtrack last year? I think it was god of war. Was it? Okay, yeah, did that I don't think I wanted I thought it wasn't an indie game with a bunch of rock music Let me look I'll look. Yeah Yeah, but I also heard a lot of people upset because harry macintar didn't even wasn't even nominated for best voice actor Yeah, and he did an incredible job in that game. So he really did. Yeah It's because when people think voice acting they don't think nintendo and until I don't know how nintendo is going to shred that reputation I mean, I mean they broke with breath of the wild I mean, I guess metroid drive was up for game of the year So metroid prime 4 is going to finally get a voice actor Matt's right Metroid prime 4 should totally be up for a game of the year nomination when it comes out But it's funny you mentioned metroid prime a game that's usually about solid terror like there's not yeah a lot of voice acting All right, I'll just a little little teaser for my massive discussions coming out tomorrow We're talking about metroid prime 4 tomorrow and I personally think that with prime 4 I'm not it's still going to be It is going to still have a lot of isolation there. It's going to be a lot of samus not talking more by ambience atmosphere Horror elements as as mike was referring to earlier That may be not so comforting for everyone But but there's also a lot of comforting moments too. Anyway, um, but any zombies. I need zombies in that game Well, if you play prime 2 echoes that kind of are Yeah, it's gonna be a game as a service prime 2 has has kind of a zombies but the point I was getting at though is that I think there could be more cinematic moments You know, they could they could they could have enough material there where they could put together a very epic trailer I mean if you play metroid dread there are there's there's voice acting in that game and Even though it's not like three hours of cut scenes The cutscenes that are there are extremely powerful. They're super impactful And it played dread and you you know what i'm talking about if you beat the game There are some moments that just straight up give you goosebumps And if they up that a little bit with metroid prime 4 because there'll probably be a longer game than dread I think they could go in in that direction of having a little bit more of a cinematic feel to it And that's something that can help to promote the game a little bit more and that's something that could be featured as a You know in the in the game awards for to some level I had to see a movie of metroid Metroid because I want to get me into a metroid game with movie I feel like I need to To know more a backstory but not in the text form or some creepy voice saying In the in the galaxy far far away. There was this little virus that was there But now it's not and nobody knows where it is and then you know you get into the game You start shooting and everything I need to hear more. I need to know more about about the character to get immersed into the Maybe that's why I'm having you know issues kind of diving in because I feel like I need to know I'm a story kind of you know driven kind of person that I feel like I need to Get more and and they need to tell me more to get me Excited about why my shooting is random alien. I'll argue metroid is an incredible story But it's done through environmental storytelling. Yeah, exactly. It's it's good It's environmental and it's awesome. But I need some context Why am I shooting some some innocent little You play dread, right? I play dread. That's my favorite game You were able to finish it. I did not Did you all right? You should try finishing it Yeah, I'll try I'll try finishing you just because only one of the final limits has a really good story Yeah, um cinematic. Yeah Very surprising December's guy at the end Well, she's Oilers is she's Has she been dead the whole the whole time like you know the sixth sense I just want to pour you out the Nate left. I'm sorry. Talk about metro Yeah I had something to take care of Totally joking. No, no for sure, but that is something he would do Metro dren yeah Metro dren is the only metro game I've played in in finished because I I Am honestly not a huge fan of the metrovania style I It sounds dumb, but I kind of Don't like having to go back and explore Unprompted where I kind of don't know what I'm doing Um, but I agree with Mike. I think a metroid like movie or show or something would get a lot more people Into metro because I think there are I finished dread, but I had I had to look up a guide like halfway through To finish it because I just got way too confused so I think Having a metroid media that isn't a game would get a lot more people into it Yeah, listen listen as feel max if you're listening You know just do last of what's gonna metric game and then you know, I'm I'm open to uh to put it apart I do feel my point kind of serves Like what you guys said serves my point though Like I think if metroid prime 4 has a little bit more of a cinematic feel to it There you go. I'll draw more people like exactly. Yeah, and when that sells 10 million copies Then maybe Nintendo will make an alien inspired metroid I Did it Probably I literally just finished tears of the kingdom. I literally like like two hours ago master mode, right? I was I'll break my mda. I just broke it already anyway. Um Um, I'll be happy if crime force beats 5 million to be told, you know That feeling that I got at the very end because of the storytelling throughout, you know And what's happening and even when I'm looking at the out of ruin from the past It makes me feel guilty because I wasn't there to say the people that were that lived in that little spot there It was just an amazing Journey there and at the end when you you know finally began and all that stuff They continue to tell the story and it's such a such a crazy way, man The love, you know, again, it's an it's an epic story is one of the best stories I've ever heard, you know, so I know in movie form. That will be awesome too. Um, but um Yeah, I think story is is uh is Something that will make people Just really get invested with the character. I I want to know samus I want to know where she was before she put on the suit You know what I mean not just hear about it. I want to know what happened before she put on the suit, right? Well, all you know, that would be it would be really cool to have like a backstory. Yeah, that would be really cool PlayStation is known for like the sad dad genre.  I'll also say Um in terms of story for nintendo like you want like story from nintendo, that's zeno blade like zeno blade's like 100 percent zeno blade is a good story.  Just so you know when you left. I was like, of course, Nate left when we had the dedicated metroid cut talk I had nothing to add. Anyways, so it's all right It's all jokes. Uh, uh, did you wash your hands? Yeah Going to bust my kid playing a tablet in his bed in the middle of the night was I need to wash my hands of that Filth Did you have a flashlight like what are you doing? Yes, actually? Oh, that's funny Keep the door down. He's like, oh my god. I'm like kid. Just give me just give me the tablet and go to bed I remember the fact that you have to ask that question means yes Yes, you are I remember when I was a teenager and young like 13 14 kind of teenager Um, I still had a curfew But sometimes my dad would come home late from work So he would see like the glow of the computer through like the blinds So he would know if I was still up and I would be like sometimes I would just be like That's like when I around was like kind of getting into anime and stuff I was like watching Naruto and death knowing stuff and I would see the I would see the lights of the car. I'm like, oh my god. It's over I'm done Or you can just pull the oh that did I fell asleep kind of in my pink. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, I was just uh homework and Yeah, okay, somehow got to Naruto and it was for a homework assignment. I fell asleep I mean, there'd be enough time to exit and then but if I was too distracted and hit that last channel button, yeah Uh, that's innocent compared to what I got caught too back in the day. All right, so um I guess we can do our last topic here It I don't really know what what more there is to say on this topic other than I'm confused because this this really has more to do with Microsoft than anything Because this Microsoft has been trying to acquire at division blizzard for a long time We're not going to recap All of that but we know that for us, you know Nintendo people that they entered into a 10-year agreement for call of duty, which likely doesn't kick in till next year anyways and the cma I guess tried to dismiss the contract That Nintendo and Microsoft signed by basically stating the switch can't run call of duty And now a lot of people have been saying that same sentiment, of course So I'll tell people might go well that makes sense is which can't run it But interestingly enough and I didn't know this because I had I don't play call of duty on pc Some pc gamers actually came to nintendo's defense when these statements came out noting that PCs worse than the switch run modern Call of duty games Because call of duty's engine is made to be able to run on a potato So it's quite interesting because they were only comparing it to You know, oh, I can't do what playstation 5 and xbox can do. No, but it could do what pcs do Which is play on like graphics cards and cpus that are significantly older than what is in the nintendo switch Yep only you got you got to take that potato and mash it a little bit And no one's saying that it runs well, of course. No one's like, oh, yeah, you're getting your nice 69 It's probably 30 fps on those on those potato PCs and stuff that probably run in 720p or something But the point is it can run with full features like it does on pc So, uh, and again console gamers only ever consider.  How could it run on there? People forget that call of duty is also really popular on pc and made to run on a significantly wide range of hardware that would definitely encompass the uh The switch now the switch is a little low on ram But it's close enough that they could probably still make it work. Now that being said What are your guys's thoughts on this and how dismissive the cma has basically been about the switch the entire time Because they're also the people that said switch is not considered a competitor Although they noted in dismissing this that they said despite the nintendo switch basically being a piece of crap with bad graphics It does find a way to compete in the market anyways, so they're sort of backtracking their own words. It's weird What do you guys think? I believe that's a combination. You go first. Go go go for it. Okay.  Um that are biased financially. That's it Because it's all it's all just straight up misinformation anyone who knows what they're talking about knows that that's not that's far from the truth Defty seeded the same thing. They basically labeled the playstation xbox is high-end gaming markets So like they kind of left the switch out of there So but I mean they if the switch could totally run cod mobile or like a lower spec Here's the thing they they noted the cma and the reason I think the cma backtracked a smidge and was like Okay, no, we can't say the switch doesn't compete with you guys Even though that's what we originally said is because one of the arguments that xbox responded to those remarks with When they tried to do the swiss switch as a competitor as they're like, well, you know, they have fortnight apex legends and doom eternal, right?  It might not compete on the highest end of graphics and resolution But it competes in the same space for our time to play video games It's a big tech thing. They they want they don't really want this deal to go through or they they kind of want to make it as hard as possible Basically, so they're gonna throw whatever out there that they can slow it down as much as they can Yeah, I mean from that regard alone It makes sense right because like sometimes, you know If you can just somehow save yourself for one financial year by three months or something it makes a difference so Yeah, you guys got any other thoughts. It's a weird topic Also, just with the slowing it down and stuff too.  It's gonna make them think again This is gonna take another am I gonna get get this one passed? Is it gonna be you know Is this gonna go through is it not, you know, so there's also that Is china and one other major territory it looks like they're gonna approve the sale so Um, so they're they are getting some support, but they they got to get past the fdc the cma and some other european commission um I just want this story to be over with because like it's like every week and at both sides are bickering and Yeah, it's fanboy wars. And yeah, it's bad All i'm gonna say is the fdc is going after this But where is the fdc when disney wanted to buy fox and they already owned marvel and lucas film like You can't they're they're they're picking a fight in an industry.  And I also don't understand how you dismiss switch As a competitor when it has been the highest selling console For pretty much the last six years. Look you want to try to argue. It's a direct better playstation I think that's stupid, but sure But come on xbox is so far behind what switch does. I don't even like what are we There's a reason they're taking a loss to do game pass like that They they need to find a way to compete that the other companies can't do and we have big pocket books So we're going to take a loss to compete. I just I don't I never understood the dismissal and and the funny thing is when they all the dismissals of switch If you go through the legal documents, they're just repeating What sony is submitting to go again. They're they're not even like saying this is our opinion. This is our expert opinion No, we're just repeating sony's arguments and it's like but you shouldn't be repeating So what you're saying is I don't know the company's arguments making a decision The couple hundred thousand dollar bills underneath it slipping away And the thing is sony's really big in these three markets these three specific markets sony's massive in there and You know, it's a lot of connections there Yeah, they're starting to wonder if there's money under the table happening sony's trying to get the right people on their side because Sony had the opportunity to also engage in the call of duty deal Like yes, yeah, and that's microsoft the whole time is like, hey, we've been willing to give them Everything that we're given into and you're they just won't Do it sony sony did the exact same thing with minecraft though when microsoft was like Letify down to the bedrock version and make it compatible with every console except for The one cross play station was the last person to sign that deal. They were like, ah, we don't want it No, we don't want we don't want to be cross gen or we don't want to be cross platform with microsoft and nintendo How dare you so so when it comes to nintendo if if I had a platform where I could release The buggiest game in gaming history and still oh i'll sell every other game In a week or two weeks. I'll be kind of upset too, you know I would see me you think so many you think so he's mad because they drop poke with scarlet and violet and Record numbers and also gotta work right now. I mean, I mean, I I think if someone is so many had an IP like mario like pokemon They wouldn't be sure They wouldn't be messing up with you know, they'll be isn't isn't their biggest selling ip the spider-man, right? I think that was the one or maybe it's gotta worth one of the two that are at the top He has good ip. Oh, absolutely Maybe gotta work one and two basically. Yeah, they just don't do pokemon or mario Apparently now zelda level of sales. I don't know how the hell zelda got up there, but it happened Why do you think that when metro it gets up there? They're gonna be living There we go. Oh if metro it out sells the best selling ps5 game there There's a reason why it that would be a dream That'd be a dream for you. That's oh my god. It would be That's gonna be have to be like 15 20 mil to No, man Because those playstation exclusives are starting to do really good numbers It's just we'll see what primary master does and then we'll we'll have this conversation Yeah, I think it's an outside metro dread I think has a great chance to Cheaper it's 3d. Did they officially announced dread 1 over 3 million or is it's no still official 2.99 2.99 basically Okay, I think it'll be close. I don't this is just I mean I think as gamers a lot of us are kind of exhausted about the story mostly like fan wars over it Just get really old I'm just excited. I've called it on switch. I think it's gonna do really well You know, I I think A lot of people really enjoy caught on switch, you know, I I know a lot of people are always call duty on switch Like I think some people I think what's the scary part about it? Is that especially with switch 2 Is if there is the call of duties if you have the fifa's You have those real mainstream games that people need to get every year If people start to see that Then they see that it's cheaper and it's portable They might not buy a playstation or an xbox So that's that's um, that can be scary now I still think sony and microsoft are gonna have a good grip on it being still the ideal version to play there But you know, I think some people will be like, well it works. So I'll take it. Well, I think I know it's all will be different, right? Like taking it on the go with you while getting some tv play It's just it's just something that the other platforms offer other ways. Um, like streaming to tablets and stuff like that But they're still like latency and it's just not the same like I I try to play my xbox series up in my room all the time on my phone with a controller and just It it works okay But every now and then the signal will cut out and literally we're like 10 feet from the system like this it makes no sense to me the signals cutting out and The controls I have a lot more latency.  Right now I'm staying with my brother So there's a second dock in the house, but we that's like downstairs like living room I want to have a dock just for like, um capturing footage Like I don't want to have to capture like reconnect that stuff I want to have a dock connected to a capture card already and just slot it in. Do I need it? No, I don't need to but it's just way more convenient I think there's like a performance target of which needs to hit basically I think there's the gap is widened a little bit to where If the switch to hits a certain performance it can pull gamers away from the other platforms Yeah It gets like near steam deck And and it could you ever know it's gonna obviously Probably be still using Nvidia technology to keep the backwards compatibility going so So if any company can do it I believe Microsoft can because I believe they they have really good developers behind them and developers who can develop Specifically for for different consoles.  We have on a pc. We have on an xbox. We have you know, if anybody can do it I trust Microsoft to to handle the distribution I'll call duty to the switch because they'll have uh the Developer team specifically designed to to develop for the switch You know for the next thing cause it's not gonna be for the switch But for the next thing cause even if it's even if it's for the switch I feel like they would actually develop it for the switch They will build it from the ground up to make sure that it runs on the nintendo switch because you know that the this That the switch can't run this camera. I think the switch can run anything you put it You throw at it as long as you develop for it You know what I what I didn't like about the cma's argument like well There's two things one when they said, you know Oh switch can't run call of duty and then it brings up three example games that kind of work against the idea that it can't run But what what I what I found interesting about it is the 10-year deal that wouldn't kick in until after the sale Goes through which isn't supposed to happen till sometime this summer So chances are it wouldn't be this year's call of duty anyways because there won't have been enough time from the deal To release for this year's so it would be next year And it's almost like they're dismissing the entire idea that most of this contract is not On switch switch is like a switch might not even be relevant to this contract I don't even think it's going to be next year too. It might even be a year after that We did see that it was it's nintendo switch and redacted. Yeah and redacted and obviously they can't You know, maybe they were trying to avoid to mention the redacted and the official thing because then they got to redact More information when they but it's still it's still weird that they just specifically target switch when it's like But that's not really the deal is not really for I mean how I don't understand all the specifics of this, right? I'm not a politician a lawyer or whatever But like can you imagine if they were to accidentally leak the name of the next system? Oh, if it unredacted document leaks out. Oh my god that that that would That would be so so crazy. We would have we would have a field day, but I saw Whatever playstation I saw like it was a tweeter a headline or something whatever um Like documents playstation has to turn over they have to turn over all their exclusivity deals and people are talking about are we going to see Persona 6 get confirmed because that could be an exclusivity deal. Are we going to see another final fantasy? Uh leak out of that because they have to turn all of those over and those things could be in there so I don't know. I would love to see I think I'll be set the internet on fire if a switch to got accidentally leaked out of this I believe they follow motion to get that thrown out and it got denied. So they're gonna have to uh now pony up that information So to go on the other side here We do definitely need a more powerful nintendo console, you know In order to entice other developers to make it onto the nintendo console, you know, we do need more power We want to see better graphics. You want to see better gameplay. We want to see a bigger game So I I definitely do uh feel like we have to we need uh, uh, you know a little bit more power And nintendo has already kind of perfected the form factor I think they should stop with their creativity when it comes to form factor because they've already brought the two worlds together mobile and And dock now they should focus on on power. I saw this, um, you know, Miyamoto said recently Oh nintendo's um strength is is in creating a brand new experience Which each and every other console something that the prior prior console games Uh can uh something that the new console can do with their games that the prior console couldn't do Miyamoto has that creative mind. I see tim cooking him But then you have from kara who who wants to make sure that everything stays steady. He's kind of thinking Here like a here like a sound anyway, uh, he wants to make sure that the boat is steady and and you know Not sinking is not, you know, it's it's drifting well And so I feel hopefully hopefully it's this almost Like the same console but not the same console just a a more powerful like nate said more like, um, The steam deck, you know, uh empower a little more power than that, you know Less heat because I got burnt with it, you know So hopefully nintendo can guide the ship that way because I know You know, um Miyamoto is a more creative type. He wants to see something completely changed drastically He don't want to recognize the console He wants to see what is that and then develop for that because he's that type of creative um, but you know Hopefully with the next gen console we can get that and I know that that If we get a more powerful console that is um You know, we have the same form factor I know that it will definitely bring A lot of people over to the switch just because of the form factor and how reliable it is to take it With you on a bus on a plane wherever you're going, you know, you know I let your wife drive the car He's in the passenger seat and say, how do you drive the car? Let me I gotta finish this game real quick, you know having having that type of thing But having better games like call of duty and even other other, you know A god of war type of game coming to you know, you know Pour it to us the nintendo will be fantastic and then playing that game On the go will be awesome, you know, um, I think i think nintendo has the power and the knowledge and the experience to do it better than That that the one the the steed deck. Yeah, that that you know, man Well, you know, it's sort of like zelda fan man child said from our chat Tears of the kingdom will release a switch to console may 12. I mean, I mean, yeah, I guess I love that Great The odds I think are a zero percent at this point I mean, maybe There's always a chance. There's always a chance and and to give him some credence I thought the marketing campaign began for tears of the kingdom. It's kind of seems like it hasn't No, um, maybe maybe they're waiting shadow drop Hey, no one thought they would ever do it to metro prep. I'm just saying they move them out drop Go to your store now. Stop watching.  Like uh on amazon On e-shop On e as I say on amazon it fell off because it can't buy anymore Yeah, but if it's still I mean e-shop, it's unlimited Can you imagine they ran out of digital sales? He'll always find a way to bring that to metro prime. Don't worry about it. I mean if they show I'm happy about that game right now that I think every podcast episode from the next three years He's just gonna keep finding a way to bring it in listen Listen, buddy, you know how like we always find a way to talk about Zelda every day Yeah, I mean, I don't I don't actually talk about it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry andres, but I I have to I have to be honest man. I gotta tell you the truth. I gotta I gotta let everybody know Andres needs a girlfriend Okay Way too much into samus. Okay samus Sanders at samus is is is the girl still bestseller on the e-shop list And here's what happened zero suit samus popped up one day and he just And he just he that he gets when he closed down his tinder he only had found his waifu Only samus i'm a grown man Hey, hey, did you know if I lived in japan I could legally marry samus You know, I'll have you know For buying a single body pillow in my entire life No, no, I said you it said you have a semi half life size samus behind you. It was a gift Whoa, oh, oh, that's how we make those excuses. I'm just gonna show everybody Charmander you guys don't talk about charmander too much like Yeah, he broke his head. He brings the flame. He brings the flame and you know, That was the fire, right? Yeah, actually I used to do skids with with bandana charmander Once upon a time and when I got the samus, um charmander fell in love with her It helped it helped him get over pyra because pyra dumped him and joined smash brothers There was there was a story You're projecting yourself on a charmander then No, no charmander. No charmander is Charmander, I look it's an inanimate object. It didn't talk. So this is a story from your head Sounds like a personal projection No, see pyra was a thing and now Yeah, pyra Yeah, all right, this is terrible Okay, okay, I gotta I gotta know andres though, who would you pick from zeno boy three? I'm just curious. Oh, okay. That's tough Because I have my pick but I want to know your pick my favorite wife from zeno boy three. Um, it's I'm a little basic. So it definitely comes down to the main characters. Um, although, I mean, there's some great picks, but you know Um, it's you get to know the the main characters more. So you know their personality more So really it does come down to either mio or uni Yeah, yeah, that's fair. Yeah for me I do like the girl with the crit sword though. She's pretty cool is I mean the game's been out for a while No, no, no My birthday, right it's still no came out last year really no, here's what I'll say I know who you're gonna say It's not a spoiler if you haven't played the game because you have no idea what you're talking about How about let's talk about our favorite zeno blade two characters It's not a Xenoblade 2 character. Oh, okay. Xenoblade 1 character. Now this is the turn of the game. See, I just assumed that the number one wife who was from Xenoblade 2. No. No, you're like, uh-oh. Uh-oh. No, I don't. She got a new crowd. Melia Antiqua. Melia Antiqua? Yeah. She's pretty cool. Might be the best character in the entire Xenoblade. Oh, okay. Well, I don't know. I can't tell you. There's a lot of great characters. You know how like Disney has like the whole like Disney princess thing? Yeah. Like Nintendo can kind of like go hard on that, especially you take, they could take like figuratively literally. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. They should make a game. Like Nintendo. I don't think it's harder. He's got the worlds only Nintendo hentai book hidden under his bed. Why do you think, uh, I don't think you're going to go for it. I gotta make things weird, man. Watch out. There has to be like, uh, like somebody really nice for, for, I mean- Yeah. I'm not the one that talked about trying to, uh, you get under the girlfriend live on the pocket. That's Mike. Mike, Mike made this all come on. I've been continuing. He talked about the pillow. True. You know, so anybody who hasn't played Hogwarts, so anybody who plays Hogwarts or plays when it comes out on switch, the herbology, uh, professor, you'll think the Herbology is the best. Yeah. Yeah. I've only seen, seen videos. I've been avoiding playing it. And that's another game that proves that there's an extended console coming out, the waiting for the verb for that, that when it's out. It's released in July. It's like, like Pikmin before we have an extension. It's an extended console for me too. But here's what I, here's what I want to ask. Yep. It's not- Let it not be about my love life. No. No. Of course not. Yeah. I was going to ask. If, uh, if switch, switch two is coming out in 2024, when does it get announced? Because I don't, if it comes out in 2024, it's not getting announced this year. Oh, no. I don't, I don't think they'd stifle their holiday season like that. I feel like they have an insane price drop. Yeah. I think, I think it's coming. It's going to be announced, um, sometime after July, but for this holiday season. But if it's 2024. If it's 2024, it's going to be announced in like in March. I think if it comes out- Yeah, I agree. I think if it comes out in 2024, it's a holiday 2024 and there's lots of time to announce it. Well, Nikkei has estimated, yeah, but here's the thing, here's the thing. If they don't announce it till, let's say they announce it in January and release it in March or April.  It just got to switch. Right. Which is why I agree with Mike that if it's a 2024 thing, March is probably like a good time to announce it for it to come out summer. Yeah. Or if it's, or you know, if it's coming out fall, announce it summer or something. I think they're going holiday. The only reason that ankle holiday last time was just because the Wii U bombed. Oh, we can't ignore that. They have nothing to agree with that. No other games for the rest of the, you know, after July have nothing for now. There'll be another direct or something at some point. But that we go about. Yeah. But at some point and it'll be a switch to direct is what it's going to be. That's my prediction. Would this year feel this year. Would people feel as burned if it was like you can play Zelda perfectly fine on the normal switch?  No. I'll buy a special edition Zelda switch. I'll do that. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm just like, well, Metroid Prime 4 comes out. And they got a Metroid Prime 4 switch. Hot take. I don't like the tears of the kingdom. Oh, I think it looks bad. Well, technically, it's not official yet. Yeah, technically. I really hope it's not. They got to come up with something better. It is ugly, but I'm still going to get it. I'll say it is more than they did for the Wii U Wind Waker. That's true. Had the little gold braille. This little gold braille. I think I was on the controller, not even the skyward sword. Joy-Con looked better to me than that. Yeah, that's my goal. Skyward Sword Joy-Cons. I have a Zelda switch. Yeah. If you count the Skyward Sword Joy-Cons, I have a Zelda switch. I don't I don't need the tears of the kingdom. I mean, you can just go by custom skins and make any switch. Crop circles on the back. I don't need that. I think they're tear circles. I think they're water droplet circles.  Hyrule has got all kinds of crop circles. They're known to be like random designs, though. I mean, this is there's no. You know, there was going to be aliens in Breath of the Wild at one point. So crop circles keep making fun of me about being in love with Samus and Pyra, which may or may not be true. But there's another competitor. That's a better looking switch than it appears. Here's the thing. We didn't get a Metroid on switch for like five years. So taste. Listen, listen, there's a if you want a really good switch skin, look up pretendo pretendo on Instagram. Oh, I know that one.  They designed them all themselves and everything. They have insane skins, like beautiful ones. They have like three or four models for tears of the kingdom. I'm like, I'm going to get this because they look amazing. Won't it be hilarious if the tears of the kingdom special edition switch comes out? You buy that and then you skin it with one of those skins. Right, right. Look, I'm just protecting it underneath so there's no damage. Yeah, that looks better. Yeah, and they have they have they have for every single franchise, like literally every franchise in Nintendo. They have a skin for that. And it looks amazing to this. It doesn't look cheap. That's awesome. What was that called again, Mike? I kind of pretend to pretend to pretend though. This is not non paid. I just talked to him on behind the scenes. I told him I was going to shut him up because he's because man, I deserve to shout out. It's amazing.  Yeah, yeah. I'm on Etsy right now. There's some amazing looking. I got some. I got a really good Xenoblade three skin for my switch on Etsy. Yeah, it's made by actual artists. I just wish it was dockable. It's not dockable. Oh, my favorite purpose. Yeah, it's called Pretend to Switch. His is I think Pretend to Pretend to Switch. Yeah, he has Pretend to Switch.com, too. So if you want to get up to, you know, I can probably show people. I think this actually works. Yes, I think I will I will attempt to present. Share screen. Wait, at least we don't have to turn off the cameras. No, we don't think anyways. Oh, they don't even know what you're talking about, Eric. Yeah, I know. Here we go. Pretend to Switch. Share. Yeah. Will it full screen? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Here's his Instagram. I'm not impressed. I don't know. Some of those those tears of the kingdom ones look better than the. I like the Switch Lite one. Oh, that's really nice. Oh, you know, but really cool. And it wouldn't make any sense because of battery consumption. But like if it had like that, if the Uroboros actually like had a lit up with an LED or something, they could do that on the dock, but they won't. I will say, Nintendo has been on a pretty big or a Boris kick. I don't know what it is. We're going to get to the end of the blade. Oh, I know because it's it's a renewing of a cycle. They're they're going to start a new generation. There's a new on infinity. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence. Oh, that one's nice. Although, Monosop does help out with the Spider-Man school, too. Yeah, there's a lot of sequins here. See, this just makes me want Wind Waker HD so bad, right? Wind Waker is coming on the next switch. I'm calling it right now. I think so, too. I think they were waiting to do it for 4K. Yeah, yeah, 4K 60 FPS. But I mean, some of these are pretty sick. Yeah, some of them just like they're OK.  And the good thing is they have they have more than one per per IP game. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. I like the color on the front. Yeah, that blue and green. That's nice. You see, that's the game I'm going to go back to that. That I played halfway through it. Never so good. No, it is so good. Yeah, it's great. It's a great one. Co-op, man, I feel so guilty because I own more than 100 digital games that never finished. I was good. I like the accurate time on that one. But these got lots of good ones. Oh, man, Wario fans. Come on, Wario, man. Yeah, there you go. That pretty cool stuff. There's all the people that do it. But hey, Pretendo, I think I saw them. They were like 30 bucks. So you can actually buy these? Yeah, yes. Oh, wow. Go to the bottom, please. Go back. I saw something from Dora's Mask. I'm excited. Right here. Oh, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, of course, this is HD. By the way, that Metroid Dread one of the bombs also pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, that's the war. I thought that I like that. There was one he had up earlier. I like this one better. I could do without the red analog sticks, but everything else. Well, you don't have to put those on, you know. Yeah, that's a cool thing about skins, though. You can pick and choose it, right? He said, why do you have to show me this? Yeah. I switch every week. You don't have to put the whole thing. Oh, that dock up close of the Dread one. Look at that. That's really good. Yeah, yeah. It's pretty cool. Start fairly well. All right, I'm putting the link in the chat for those of you who are interested. There you go. Pretty cool. Just gave this person a lot of business. Probably. Yeah. Yeah, he's a cool guy, you know, the cool guy. Awesome. And you know what? So as we're wrapping up the podcast here, it's kind of interesting because you guys don't know. A lot of people that watch probably have no idea what happens behind the scenes. This was not like the software we were going to use tonight. So everyone, you know, I've sort of every episode of the season two of the podcast has been using Mellon app, which is a paid service with Streamlabs, or you can bundle it with Streamlabs. I guess I think you can pay for it separately. And it's been pretty neat, except last week we had some massive audio issues. And it's always had an issue where like if I put people in a big screen or a little screen, it has a problem with the resolution. Anyways, the audio issues, it turns out with the buzzing last week, is because Mellon app, and I found this out through research, randomly just has audio issues. And the only way to fix it is to restart the stream. And like, we're not going to obviously do that in the middle of a podcast. So I decided, you know, like yesterday or the day before that we're going to use Riverside. And Riverside is a really popular app with a lot of professional companies. And as we were testing it today, found out its stream features, well, you can stream. And that's about it. Only in 720. Only in 720p. So you can stream in 4K. The thing is that you have to pay more for that. No, so I had the, not the top, the second from the top package, and I talked to the customer service rep and they just said, yeah, it doesn't matter. It's all 720p because that's just how our servers are. We'll record it in 4K for you. So then you can edit it together. I'm like, no, I don't want to edit it together. We're a live show. We don't do post editing like that. Not anymore. One point we did, not anymore. But it's whatever. The fact is their live stream features are nothing. You can't do anything.  And you might think that's simple. You guys like how I show super chats on screen and we react to some of the, can't do that on that platform. They're like, I just share the screen. Can't do that on that platform. So Mel and Apple is way better in that regard. You can. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's where my comment came in. You can share screens. However, it'll be really tiny and the only way it gets big is if all six of us hide our camera, which is dumb. Not what you want. That's dumb. So, I was just doing like random searches like literally 20 minutes before the show. And I was like, oh, StreamYard. Let's give this a chance. And you know what? So far, so good. You know, the other thing I do like about this one instead of Melon too, is that it slides everybody up when you show the super chats. So it doesn't cover people. Flatten over everybody at the bottom. The only thing I did notice too is we, I think you were in the process of it, but you never actually did get the podcast though. No, no, no. The podcast still goes in. I don't know how to move it. I gotta figure that out. It's already, yeah, I turned it off because I couldn't figure it out. Gotcha. Can't move in mic instead. Oh, well. Did any of you get to see that interview? Let's see how you do this. With Anthony Garcilano. Like I'm mixing this all up. Oh, no. Yeah, why what? What was it? It was at the, was that the Mario movie interview? No, it was the match. It was someone who worked on Primary Mastered. Apparently they had to take it down. There was something said there that should not have been said. Yeah, I wish I watched that. I wonder if it's up on gaming links and Reddit. Usually they catch all that stuff or to be on FAMI boards. There may have been something said in relation to the development process and they might have hinted at what's to come. I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm going to have to do some research right after this. I didn't, yeah, that's the thing. I wanted to watch it, but you know, yeah, we had busy working. And I'm sorry. OK, we have a Wednesday show. No, it wasn't just you. I'm talking about all day, right? Like, well, I mean, you could have just recorded it. Well, I didn't think they would take it down. I didn't know what was in it. I didn't watch it. Yeah, you didn't think they would nuke it because somebody said something they should have said. I didn't know that anything was in their debt to nuke. So this is just kind of a cool behind the scenes thing. Oh, right. Oh, no, they did something. Oh, are you are you seeing something? Or are you just kind of? No, I'm not saying anything right now. I'm going to complete my research to confirm. OK, that's all. Let me link a link.  Well, while I'm doing that, I want to be wrapping the show up over episode 10 before we go, though, this is what we always do. We give everyone a chance to shout out what they're working on, what they got coming up and where they can find you. Let's start with our newest guests. We'll begin with Fusion 64. What do you got coming up and where can they find you? Well, I have a review of Horizon Call of the Mountain coming up here in the next day or so on video next week of what's coming up in PlayStation for 2023. I do a lot of reviews for the Last of Us TV show. And then, yeah, Fusion 64 on YouTube. The last of us is awesome, man. So it's great. It's great. All right. I'll play the game like I just put the game down. Let's watch the show. And by the way, there is a link to his channel just to find it quickly right down in the description. So you just expand that click, go subscribe. Let's see, Nick from Joysticks Drift Podcast. What do you got going on? So I have a video going out on Friday about Zelda's true role in Tears of the Kingdom and why I think it's going to be a little different than some of the other games. And then to follow that in the two weeks after that, I'm also doing a video on Link and Ganondorf to kind of do like a triforce of videos. But aside from that, we're the Joysticks Drift Podcast, we're a Nintendo gaming podcast. And we put out new episodes every Wednesday at 12, 15 p.m. Central Time. So you can go check those episodes out. It's me and my friends, Colin, Malina and Alex, who Malina's been in the chat as the Joysticks Drift Podcast. So no, we do great stuff over there. So that's a Malina. Nice. Mike, Odyssey, we're going to find you. What do you got going on? Well, here we go. Guys, buckle up. We've got 20 minutes. You can find me at Mike Odyssey on YouTube. You can find me at Mike Odyssey on Instagram and on Twitter. What's happening? Monday through Friday, Nintendo News at Odyssey News. We are still working on bringing the podcast of the topics podcast. And, you know, a lot of stuff going behind the scenes that I can't really talk about yet, but we'll soon. And that's that's that's that's the whole. So I didn't hear back from Nintendo. Nate, that's a good thing. So, you know, expect reviews, expect them. Nice. And yeah, that's that's that's it. Go go subscribe if you have not. We are on the way on the road to 30 K getting that a next switch. All let out the door pretty soon. And then we have another one to give out. I'm hopefully later on soon. So yeah, three milestone. I'm going to I'm going to change my milestone from every 10 to every five. So from the 30, the 35th is going to be the next switch. Give away 40 like that and so on. And it moves up. Yeah. So before we get to industry, start giving me a little Metroid update over here. Just because this isn't actually something that's major, but it seems that this is the reason it was taken down. The developer that was talking about working on Metroid Prime Remaster mentioned wanting to work on remasters for two and three. And it seems shortly after they said that Nintendo nuked the video. So it's sort of like two and three, two and three is happening. Just this particular developer isn't working on it. So I wasn't aware. Or maybe they are aware and they were just potshotting because they weren't hired for it. I have no idea. But yeah, so it might have just been like Nintendo doesn't want an actual developer that worked on their game mentioning something that Nintendo already has in the works or planning. Never mind. I'm just covering that. Not just going to say so. I forgot. Maybe it was a break of NDA. Like maybe they weren't supposed to mention future games. It might not be even something that's worth covering. Yes. Yeah. Well, you never know. You can click me at the hell out of it. Metroid developer gets struck by Nintendo for revealing future Metroid plans. Yeah, I already have a Metroid video plan for tomorrow, so. Double Metroid. Yeah, double it up. Speaking, which you want to know what I'm working on. There is a Metroid discussion plan tomorrow. Yeah, I announced on Twitter and my community page today, the Metroid panel. And I think it's as far as Metroid Contra creators go, it's a pretty darn good panel. So check it out on the panel just to confirm. Yeah, someone was asking someone was made on the panel. Nate was a part of a graphics debate last week, though, which might explain why I'm not on the panel. Listen, and I have to publicly apologize because three times three times Andre has invited me to his podcast.  When it comes to going on Andre's podcast, literally an hour and then an hour before two hours before my entire power went out. And then it come up like two, three o'clock in the morning. I didn't even sleep at night. It was crazy. But I was going to be on Andre. So publicly, I want to apologize to Andre for not being in the podcast.  I want to support them as well. And yeah, we're family here, man. So, yeah. Sorry, Andre. Next time promise and we'll record it side by side. And the record side by side right now. I had to put two friends together. I'm going to push you in Boston down a cliff. So you might want to travel with us. Very good. It's cool. It's not as long as somebody as long as somebody gets it on camera, it'll be OK. Yeah, exactly. Content free content there.  I also mean, you can go live by myself. So it's fine. Well, what it would suck, though, is that, like, it would have been a fun. It would have been a fun discussion. Yeah, it would have been a fun discussion. We could have you could have you could have done your whole victory lap on how Swiss shoes coming out this year live. We've been living a good time. Casual for for for next next next week. Next week, next week, next week, next week, Monday, you want to Monday, maybe. All right, so we're going to Monday. Yeah, this time power goes out. If I have the power goes out, I'll call it. But this time. Yeah, I mean, the thing is your phone charge, battery banks. Yeah, you can still do it. You can still do the switch to victory lap. Yeah, you can do it next Monday. I will probably we might get more info, maybe like another insider will come out and be like, yeah, it's 100 percent. It's come out tomorrow. Nate's Nintendo Prime live competing head to head with Andre Restor and my Odyssey. All right. I think we're all hoping that he's going to be able to do the switch. Then topic podcast is making a big comeback is making a huge comeback. I can't talk about it yet, but it's making a huge comeback. Yeah, it's going to be a pretty sick. That's going to be. I think I think. Yeah, I think it's all official now, right? Like the four hosts of this podcast are all going to the packs, right? Oh, yeah, for sure. Official now I believe right now. We all have our I asked for my passes. They told me they had them. They haven't given them to me. So yeah, yeah, that's what they told me to do. They can mail them to me. I'm like, I'm also I'm assuming their press passes. I'm kind of worried that they just got me like normal passes. No, no, they're press passes. I confirmed with with them. I said, look, we need press passes of the press. Yeah, we I got you to press passes. So yeah, we got there we go. I also got for mega con. Who's coming to mega con? Who? What what mega? Oh, I went to mega con last year. I don't know. They may or mayonaze. You have to impress passes for mega con here. It's happening after it's happening afte
