get rid of that option. And they talked about how, well, what they'll do is they'll pack a controller in. They ain't packing no controller in for $400. They're not giving you this and then throwing this in. For $400. That's just not happening. So I think it's $400 is probably. I think it's on the realistic expectation. Oh, yeah. Yeah, take a shot. There wasn't an interesting point made though. Oh, it's Saffron from Beckins. It's Saffron. Oh, okay. Yeah, we got it. We got to do it. Yeah, take a shot. Yeah. The point that was made though I think is worth considering though is that if they did go away from Joy-Cons. And then blood thinners. Not a good idea to drink a ton. But if they went away from Joy-Cons. They could fit in the actual internals inside. You know, they would have more real estate up to fit things. You know what?  Sorry, Andres. For Saffron. Sorry, Andres. Sorry, we got to get this done for Saffron. No, we'll continue. I'm getting bricked up. I'm getting bricked up, my bad. Too bricked. Nate's had a few, Andres. You got to give them a little. Well now, had a few. We haven't even got started. I'm trying to get her interrupting. All right. I'm sticking up for you. I'm trying to give Saffron what she wants. I know. The people have spoken with money. I got to listen. All right. Now you can go. All right. Joy-Cons, Andres. Oh, yeah. Now I was just going to considering the other perspective, right? Because we do that here. Yes. If they did do it with the Joy-Cons, that would give them more real estate internally to fit more in there, right? And maybe that could even be a little bit cheaper as well. So that's an interesting perspective. But for me, when I just think about not being able to facilitate things like Nintendo Labo, SwitchSports, Ring Fit Adventure. That's $100, Shad. Not a two. You're just taking away so much creativity and options. I would be surprised if that's the direction they go. They'd be like Switch with less innovation. Well, also they've been very much pro motion control, right? Which was like that. Like there's not going to be a big like gimmick or innovation with the Switch, so it's going to be a better Switch. So why wouldn't they just make the Joy-Cons whatever they are just way better and improved, but still have that? You know what I mean? Yeah, I would prefer like, yeah, better Joy-Cons that are more ergonomic. You know, I'm going to buy a pro controller separately anyway, right? Like I agree with Mr. Prime, right? Like it makes sense to just have that separately the same way Nintendo handled it with the Switch launch and just give us better Joy-Cons. I actually remember playing Breath of the Wild for a good while with just the Joy-Cons and the grip. It felt pretty good. Yeah, and they've been, I mean, they did Wario move it. Like they're pro motion control still. So if they get rid of that, I don't know if they're like going to get away from motion control. They had it in Skyward Sword. They had it in Arms. Yeah, yeah. Also, goodbye. We brought out in Minnesota someday. You know, if you don't have that. I'm with Nate on this. This kind of seems like more of like a want or like a wish list than. Yeah. The entire, by the way, I want to I had no problem with him having his want and wish list stuff. I have a problem with him criticizing people like me for doing the same thing. And yeah, it's cool for him to do it. I didn't want to really get into it, but I'm going to get into it a little bit here because I'm going to be honest, his good old buddy MVG said he'll never come on one of my podcasts ever and yet he's never talked about me, but he has the audacity to bring my name up on the spawncast almost every single week. MVG does? MVG does it every week.  And I'm just going to say I've never said anything negative about him. I've never said anything negative about Nate to hate. I think they actually have a lot of value in the community. I didn't really like MVG as a person. But yes, I think MVG is an amazing developer. I appreciate his opinions on things. He's very knowledgeable. I don't appreciate being brought up in conversations I have no business being brought up in. I also don't appreciate that Nate the hate thinks it's okay for him to speculate on things that no one else is allowed to because he's an insider.   When you know it's not. When I talk nobody thinks it's truth because I am an insider. I think, all right, to pay devil's advocate, I think it would be fair for him when he talks to make it more clear is this there's not a transparency. You know, he's not transparent about it at all. Well, let me finish. Is this what I think based on things that are real? So I'm guessing that this is probably real or a good point here. And it's like, nope, because the bit block said Jerry, Jerry and Jake's like, no, your mouth has been open like this.  Yes, what it is. He's frozen again. I would like to hear like a month and I don't know what's going on. So we're going to say I want to hear it. Yes. So what I was going to say was I think he could do a better job of like explaining what his statement is what before he makes it like, okay, like this is a this is a prediction of mine or this is something I think will happen based on these facts, but it's not something I've heard or this is something I've actually heard from an insider. You know what I mean? Like if he could frame it better, I think that would be better. Or if he's not going, he doesn't have to. But I do agree with you that if he's not going to do that, maybe it's like it's not the nicest thing to like criticize other people for also literally speaking and not making it crystal clear. Because you're not making it crystal clear, you know, just like, I don't know. We're all we're all in the space and like I think there's like a thing on YouTube where when someone's doing a similar thing to you and they're not part of your squad, there is this thing in you that's like a competitive thing. Like an it's almost like an ego thing.  And I just think that like it's it's a human nature thing. It's so easy to get drawn up in that. But I think like we're adults here, you know, and like I think like that all of us like can just like chill and let everyone do their own thing. It's part of why I've stopped really doing YouTube is because I don't like that part of it. And it's kind of like inherent. And I have a hard time not feeling offended, you know, or, you know, jealous sometimes or like upset that someone like takes something that I came up with and pass it on their own or says something that goes against something I said when I know what I said was accurate. It's really hard not to feel that gut. But like I think it's really important to just treat everybody with respect. And if you if you can't at least don't drag them. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I don't know. That's just that's my two cents. I like odd for the best content creators. I love it. We'll feature in a bit because it's going to be part of the Q&A section. But anyway, that's funny. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's our last thing is the Q&A. So we already have four questions queued up for it. I just don't like speaking ill of other content creators. Yeah, I got nothing to against MBG and Nate to hate at all. Like, I think they have value in the community. I think MBG is an amazing game developer. And he's brought a number of classic games over to Switch. I just don't like my name being brought up in conversations that doesn't deserve to be brought up in. And I don't like that. Be a man. You got a problem. Me come talk to me. I've never had a conversation with him. And I'll give Nate to hate some credit. I've asked him to come on our podcast before. And he actually had a legitimate excuse not to that week. And he has never badmouthed me in that sort of way.  He's like, I'll never be on that show. Well, yeah, because you should talk to me on Sponcast every week. Well, you got a problem with me. Come talk to me about it. You don't want to talk to me about it. Then cheers. Here's what you got to do. You got to go to Spawn, the Spawn Wave, Sponcast, super chat, call them out. Yeah, that won't feature it. John, John. OK, so. No, you'll get it. No, no, no. John, John is a, he's, John and I have had many conversations with leaders and I've been on Spawncast before. He's a very really, he's just a really good dude. But he's super non-controversial. So if I super chatted, he will see it. He's not going to give enough. He'll probably just talk to me more. And John will just sit back and go, yeah, we're not going to show that super chat on screen today. I mean, at fairness, I probably wouldn't do it either, right? Yeah. I mean, and I don't, I'm not this kind of person that gets comforted.  I think they actually have value in the community. I just don't like that my name keeps getting brought up when you're not willing to even talk to me. So at least Nate, the hate will respond when I DM him. So that's all. I just hate it. Yeah, so hopefully Switch2 is awesome though. Dude, Switch2 is gonna be sweet. Sorry, I didn't want to get into this. This is like a conversation I have behind the scenes at one point. This is you having several shots. No, I know. This has nothing to do with the shots. I take it back. I apologize. MPG was brought up and I'm like, dude, this is, I got, I have no problem. This was said publicly, so I'm responding publicly. It is what it is. Jedi's don't speak in absolutes. That's it. Only Siths speak in absolutes. That's the phrase. Yeah. Yeah. But before it was early to me, what's the reason for what? Because he's saying it's going to be revealed before GDC. Yeah. Before March 18th. Wow. Yep. You think a partner showcase doesn't point to that because that would be Nintendo has no first party announcements. I mean, having only a partner showcase in February, without anything at January is because you gotta remember after March, it's literally the Ouija's mansion from Nintendo literally to and thousand year door. They have nothing else on their slate. There's no dates for those yet, either. Yeah. Well, in summer. I mean, I mean, they could do a thing where they just have a direct in March. You know, like if it's one or the other, right? Like, I mean, that's that's a consideration, right? Like if we have a partner showcase in February, then I think we either a I mean, we might need to have a direct in March regardless if all they do is a partner showcase. I think they need to make some announcements for April for June. So either those are in the partner showcase or they happen outside of it in some way. Yeah. Well, and the bit block mentioned that Kit and Krista, former Nintendo employees mentioned they think it's going to launch in summer. I think that also when I listen that it goes out that presumption they announced in March. They only gave us about four months in two weeks between announcement and release a switch. And everyone, I don't know if you guys listen to a lot of Nintendo podcasts. Almost everyone's in agreement that Nintendo is going to do a shorter announce to release than most companies do because everyone's starting to go to announce comes out three months later. And I'm not saying that it can't come out in September because as Andres restart will kindly remind you guys summer runs like three weeks into September. So at least in the United States I'm not saying that's true in other parts of the world but in the United States it runs three weeks into September. So that would still be summer. But it's entirely possible and I'm not saying likely but possible that they announced in March and this thing's out in July or August. It could be done. I got to be honest the switch launched in March. So all that really matters for a successful launch isn't when they launch the system. It's what they launch it with the demand for it and the continued lineup they have after it. If they have a very strong first nine months just like they did for in 2017 it doesn't matter they can launch it tomorrow. It would somehow be successful if you got Mario Zelda Xenoblade Mario Kart and all these other games coming in the first nine months. It's going to be all about the lineup because what happened I saw a tweet by Stealth today shout out to Stealth40k he's a stand-up guy. I bought a tweet mentioning that Nintendo President Furukawa in the Q&A brought up how much they believe exclusives really matter which is the exact opposite of what Microsoft is for selling systems. Then again Microsoft wouldn't know what selling systems means. Sorry I assume you were saying like that. Shots fired. Microsoft is amazing I own an Xbox Game Pass is the greatest deal in gaming but I mean they're going partially third party at least you're coming up. What I what I believe here though is that what Furukawa was saying is that he believes the exclusives were a huge reason Switch was successful and I don't think he's wrong especially in that first year so if they have the lineup it really doesn't matter when they launch it. I mean it wasn't Super Bomberman R it was no Look I owned all the launch games because I wanted to be the guy that could say like a weekend dude I own every Switch game and then I sold them because they sucked I kept breath of the wild Oh I kept one two Switch for a while too I remember I worked at the YMCA at the time and I was an after school teacher we would play a lot of one two Switch for the kids I actually understood what they were trying to do with one two Switch because we would have like 40 people all 40 of us could play and that was wild and people were having fun unfortunately I don't think most people at the launch of Switch have like 100 people that have Switch like even know 100 people so it is what it is but I understood it it should have been a packing game I think people would actually look more fondly if it was a packing but oh here's will there be a packing for Switch too my first thought is no yeah my first thought is no but then if they look at I kind of think if they look at one two Switch and look at we sports and I go maybe maybe we need that packing that can hit on a bigger audience but what's the idea of packing I mean like we can talk about another sports game I was gonna say sports another I don't think it's gonna have one because you look at the previous titles that had practice previous consoles that had packing and it was more like proof of concept of the system like yeah we feel like it's gonna be iterative right like like do you guys think it's gonna be a gimmick like a really big 4k graphics that's all I need but that's why Ocarina Time Remake is gonna be a 4k oh don't even as we're going back to that wait wait wait I gotta ask you Andrews no no I gotta ask you Andrews because we both been covering that for a while and the possibilities and how it makes sense we have like any legit rumors for it besides Zippo because Zippo is now on my ultimate shit list well first off if you guys watch my videos on I always refer to it as a theory right because I think I know that's why I'm asking you if there's it is a much better theory than it is a rumor but there was the I mean I would say pretty much no however when I I mean this is a concept that's been around for years already right like the it's not like anything really new but when I was when I decided to start talking about it last year right and then mysteriously Zippo started talking about awkward time right after I did and then we saw the Serkan Toto thing and then everything wait is Andres Zippo no that's that that is so off no no no no no no no why are you why are you so time out all of a sudden time out time out time out time out Jake what have you said previously on this podcast then Andres is one of the most intelligent people talking about Nintendo you've ever her. Yeah. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde. No, no, go read a Zippo post and tell me that, like, come on. Hey, I, all I remember is he leaked the Skyward Sword direct and got, like, over half the things. Everything he had was on it. Congrats. He made a really safe prediction. He had, like, a list of over 20 things and every single one of them was in there. There it is interesting, Zippo, because for them, I feel like a lot of things he says are wrong, but then there's always, like, occasionally something that comes up and, like, hmm, yeah, that's strangely on the money, right? Like, apparently, like, like, apparently he, for example, was, was, it was DMing Papagenos, and he said there was going to be a partner showcase, and that there'd be a switch to reveal shortly afterwards. The only caveat is that he thought partner showcase was in January, which, you know, whatever. But anyways, what were we, what were we going to talk about? Did I need to go over the 90% of things he's been wrong about? Because I'll, I'll waste your entire night. So, I mean, I'm just saying, I can see all some people might argue, well, there is, like, that 10% or 5% of things that end up being right, and so, you know, on the wall, you'll get your right. Here's what I'm saying, no, I agree with you, like, 90% is wrong, right? But, like, when he hits on something, it's not like, oh, like, one out of every 10 things, like, he'll have one thing that has 25 things in it, every single one. It's almost like he's Skyward's family board and just copy, paste. Yeah, that's, that's kind of my first thought. Some of them would be right, but all 25 were right, by the way, Zippo hates, including what the big announcement was. Well, Zippo hates me, he hates RGT as well. He hates, he, I didn't see the RGT hate, but I'm not sure. He's put RGT in his articles on how much he hates him. That's interesting. I, it's just one of those things where the track record isn't strong enough at all for me to, like, cover it often, ever. But, I mean, I've definitely talked about before, but there has to be, there's usually- You try to take quite a personic generations when it was leaked four days before he put his post up. I don't know. Um, yeah. But anyways, back to the awkward time thing, right? Um, I love it.  I mean, no, I think we're on the same page. He's like Tommy Bear knows to me. We're on the same page. I'm not, I'm not defending Zippo. I'm just saying that, like, he has something where like, I think he has a genuine connection somewhere, but like when, when his connection doesn't have info for him, like he'll just kind of pull it from what he, like he's trying to get it from every sources and only one of his sources is legit. And he might not even have that source anymore. But I think he did at one point. Maybe. Um, it's possible though, he's just on some sort of, there are, there are different gaming forums out on there where there are people with sources that share information occasionally, right? And so he might be- He might have walked out on one of, like a couple of times. Right. And see, he just kind of knows who I agree is pretty good at that. And so it may just be a good researcher. Like Sam and Frontier. Yeah, it may be. Sam and Frontier had a hundred percent track record for like six months, turned out she was copying all of her rumors from other places. Can we go back to Ocarina Time though? Yes. That was the original question. Sorry, Zippo only came up because Zippo was- Right. So I brought, I technically brought him up because I was just explaining when I brought back the Ocarina Time stuff because, you know, I- I wanted to know if there was more to it than that other than- Yeah. Well, the thing is that, so there it was though, you remember Game Over, Jesse used to talk about Ocarina Time HD a few years back. Years ago, yeah. That's kind of, there's that, right? And so now the thing is that's Ocarina Time HD is not what would be on Switch, you know? Sure. But maybe that was a project at one point and maybe it was pushed or, or, you know, it's just it was also then not really a legit thing. It's hard to- There's a few different ways to get an interpreter, right? But regardless, I don't really find any of the rumors to be super, super strong. But the theory I think is fantastic because Nintendo needs to have something major for the 3D Zelda fanbase early on for Switch too. And so they're kind of, they can't- They probably can't put it on a whole new game. And then we look at some interviews literally with Anuma, right? One where he mentions a character, Rauru, right? And how he doesn't think financially who that character is anymore. But then the even bigger one with the game, the Game Informer interview where he was literally asked, are you guys going to remake Ocarina Time? And he responds to a comment, considering the context that he was in another interview recently where he was asked about making a Zelda Dungeon Maker and he just cut that idea out immediately, right? So he's letting us entertain Ocarina Time. Yeah, we've talked about that. Right, but he asked me the question and then 10 Talk hasn't been here. So, you know. No, no, no, I wasn't saying to stop. I was just like remembering what we talked about. See, it's in my head now because people were pissed off at me for updating a topic earlier today, but whatever. Oh, no, no, no, no, that's how I meant it. But anyway, yeah. So I just think that there's like literal things. There's other stuff, right? But that's just kind of like some of the points like that I feel like make it more that makes more sense for Nintendo to remake as all the game early on for Switch 2, just out of pure logic, right? And then Ocarina Time seems like a good bet, especially based off some interviews. Yeah. I don't think that's why I lost time, though. I think, yeah, it does make sense. All that stuff just makes it more likely, not less. I mean, let's consider this. Like, what if Nintendo doesn't have any sort of 3D Zelda anything for first like three years of Switch or Switch 2? Like, do you think that's a good idea? I don't. Nope. Yeah, I don't either. Gotta be something. They definitely need Zelda, but they don't. I don't think they need the level of Breath of the Wilds. Like, I think Twilight Princess HG or the Wind Waker comes this year and next year is going to be a new remaster of something that we don't expect. It could be Ocarina Time, which I guess we expect, but. Tears of the Canons may be tired. Well, I'm going to say this. Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wilds, I think are both going to give 4K overhauls for Switch 2. And I think they're going to happen in the first year. Whether or not they're patches you can buy or they re-release them, that that's going to be the big debate. But that'd be dirty. Well, I mean, look, if they're paying attention to Sony, then they like to get real dirty. Real, just right up in there. $70 game, re-released another $70. Yeah. I mean, I'd be down for like an expansion. But they've also told us multiple times that they're not going to do DLC. So we haven't talked about this yet. Like, what are your guys like biggest fears for the system before it's announced? Like, what are you worried about? I'm worried that there isn't a Zelda remake. Okay.  It's a switch for you, baby. Yeah. Switch you. Oh, Lord. I'll take it. I got a concern. This is actually a legit concern. I'm worried about the triggers. Every time it happens, every time that, you know, Nintendo launches, like I remember with the Wii U, we're like, oh, those look like they could be analog triggers. And they weren't, right? And then when the switch came out, we're like, oh, those look like they could be analog triggers. There's a little bit of a space there and they were not. Right. So I fear that it's going to happen again where we're going to, they're going to show us a new controller. And we're like, oh, there's a bit of space there. It might finally be analog triggers. All right. Let me ask you, it's been seven years. Do you miss analog triggers for any of the games you play on Switch? So no, because the games on Switch aren't made with analog triggers in mind. Mario Sunshine. So do we need them then? Mario All-Stars. I would argue that Mario Sunshine would have felt a little bit better with analog triggers. They make it work, but it's better with it. Also, there's a lot of racing games and shooting games that would benefit from analog triggers.  But there could be a lot of them. Sunshine and 3D All-Stars, because obviously that was a huge one with analog back in the day. I don't know what the voodoo magic they pulled off, but it actually kind of just works with digital triggers. I don't really know how they made that happen. You think that until you play it with analog triggers again, like it really is nice to being able to control the stream.  You know what I mean. Sometimes you want to... Jake, I don't know about you. I'm always full sale. There's a way to communicate with the guy on the urinal next to you if you go back. I'm going to tell you right now. I've never communicated with the guy next to me in the urinal when I'm going... How have you made any friends ever? Well, that's the only way to meet people. I've never met someone in the bathroom. It is what it is. That's fascinating. I'm going to make one more argument for analog triggers. So with the Switch 2, we're hearing a lot about the visual prowess of it and how it's going to be able to run a lot of third-party games. We have the Call of Duty deal. I think now more than ever, Nintendo's primed to have the best third-party support they've ever seen. Having a system with analog triggers would actually be quite fitting with that because, guess what, that is the industry standard.  If it turns out Switch 2 doesn't have them, I'm not going to be like, oh, Switch 2 is screwed. No, we're going.  Absolutely. Yeah, I just think it makes sense. Yeah. My biggest fear is the power of the system because whatever we get with this next system, we're going to have for another five to seven years. Yeah. Like, the Switch was already underpowered. It was like, you know. So, the next system, I just, they don't need a lot of power for Nintendo games, but third-party is important. We're not ready for the Switch 2 pro-rumors in 2025. Oh, God. Yeah. I always have a problem with the pro stuff though, right? Because I always hear this argument whenever the pro things start coming around. I was like, oh, well, you know, they need a more powerful system for third-parties. But here I'm thinking, yeah, but you can put out a pro, but there's still a base model has the same power. And so third-party games won't be for that. New 3DS had exclusive games, including Minecraft. Yeah. And Nintendo. That was a big game. Nintendo cut the cord on those new games. Didn't it have like three? Yeah, because it didn't go really well. Well, I don't think Nintendo cut the cord on it. I think companies realize we can't just sell to a tiny audience. We got to sell it as a whole. Yeah, it just doesn't. But I'm just saying, Minecraft was one of those big ones and Minecraft actually had really good sales on 3DS, which you could only play it on new 3DS. Minecraft is also huge. Yeah. Oh, another here I have is if they get rid of Mies. I want Mies still. Keep Mies. Yeah, especially with that, because we usually have like that game. You know what you call it? Like a, like a squishy. A new thing with Mies. Like a new, you know what I mean? Yeah. No, I think that should be, I should be like a launch title, not the launch title, a launch title. Well, Tom was here. He'd say just bring Tomodachi life back and we're good. That could be the back you'd like to do. That'd be cool. But as a launch title? Oh, Tomodachi might have a casual game. Then you do a casual game. Doesn't feel like the kind of, the right kind of casual game to launch. What do you think is going to be the casual game? I don't know. Mario Kart. Not at launch. No way. Oh, yeah. A thousand percent. I mean, didn't Mario Kart 8? Yeah, they're going to pair Mario Kart with 3D Mario at launch. That would be literally the most insane launch of any system of all time. Well, maybe like a couple months out. Yeah. I mean, I think that advocacy. Yeah. Well, hey, hello. And are you, are you bullying him into changing his opinion? I would say Mario Kart would have a bigger impact than a 3D Mario. I think it should be a launch game. I think so. I mean, that's the game everyone plays. Yeah, push it a little bit. We've waited this long. That is interesting. They've never launched a system of the Mario Kart, but it is technically their strongest IP. Like, legit. And we technically didn't get a new one. Since 2014. We haven't had a new one since 2014. It's been like a decade. Yeah. I can see that. I mean, that's one way to sell. Dude, that would be insane. You don't keep thinking I'm changing my name and it's you. I always change it. Oh, I thought it was you. You're talking about me. Oh, no, exactly. I have not touched my keyboard this entire stream. I don't know. So I'll say that I don't think Mario Kart is going to be a launch title, but I definitely agree it's coming out. They have to come out soon because, like, to your point, like they launched, like, the set came out April, right? It was such a big thing. I my prediction has been by the end of the of of the fiscal next fiscal year. So by March, 20, 25, and then to has liked having like those really big megatons in that March time that every month, but a lot of the time it has been. And so I feel like, you know, if it does if it's not out by this holiday, I definitely think that that March period is like when we see next Mario Kart. We're not far off. I definitely think it's at least getting revealed this year. So getting back to my biggest fear. Look, we talked on name. We talked about launch light or whatever. I am actually worried that there'll be a really massive game at launch like a Mario Kart, right? Or a 3D Mario, and then they'll have a Mario Kart a few months later. Whatever. Maybe Yoshi's story. Absolutely nothing. But I'm worried that there might be a gap because they're trying to appease third parties. And so they're trying to get all these big third party games, their own window in the first nine months. And we will have, I guess, six month gap to the next. I'm not saying the next Nintendo game. There'll be ports and but they might get too reliant on like, oh, here's the Kingdom in 4K. That's going to be the big one. Mario Odyssey in 4K. That's going to be the big one. And that in that first year instead of hitting it hard like 2017, they got two heavy hitters in the first three months. And they think they can coast for another six. And I know that I can't so much stuff ready to go. No, again, this is a fear. This is not reality. And that's not an expectation. No, I expect them to have a loaded first year because I'm here to have. Why are you here? Look at this year. But it's a fear because Nintendo has done it before. Oh, I have a fear. Another fear. I have a fear that the next Mario Kart won't have an awesome single player campaign. Another fear. They don't fix the eShop. Another fear. Oh, God. Yeah, they give us the same eShop.  Another fear being that they be so stubborn that they force the same Joy-Cons on us and not fix the goddamn Joy-Cons drift. Oh, my God. Honestly, no actual voice chatter direct messaging. I mean, boom, boom, yeah. You got to still use an app and then it's limited. Oh, man. No, look here. They for some reason because oh, we got away with switch. We don't support Bluetooth headphones at launch just because. Oh, yeah. But just because. Yeah. Or at least give me an audio jack. Another fear. No audio jack.  I mean, YouTube. On the controllers. The Switch itself has one, but the controllers need an audio jack. YouTube channel is starting OnlyFans and then I miss out on OnlyFans revenue because of competition. Okay.  I mean, if I was a betting man. If I was a gambling man. He could be a destroyer. Do we think we're going to get like smash soon then? I don't know where they go with smash. The 2-inch smasher versus the 2-inch smasher. Oh, we can flash. There you go. Sakurai. So Sakurai hasn't really given any hints of what the future is or smash other than that. He's going to be involved. But he said that for Smash to continue and Nintendo needs to let him do something new and fresh with it. I don't know what that is. And they're going to let them do it. Of course they are. So I don't know, but I can understand a concern that whatever that new and fresh thing is just doesn't work. And I know Sakurai makes bangers, even like, you know, Kid Icarus Uprising. People who played that game love that game. So I get it that he just kind of makes bangers, but it's always one of those. Man, ultimate was like the perfect direction, but it's also impossible to follow. So how do you follow? What if he thumbles the follow? I think I'll challenge the use of the word impossible. I know that was just an exaggeration.  Did not have that on my finger card. Nope. Going to change my bingo card for next week. So I'm blowing up. Here we go. Through butt.  Got it. I mean, actually, actually. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Wario would do something like that in a Wario where I'm just saying. I'm just saying, though, like you look at Mario Wonder, right? And I think that added a lot to the 2D Mario formula, right? Sure. And I think a lot of people sort of thought, well, where do you go with 2D Mario after Mario Maker? Yeah. But they clearly showed it. And from everything we've heard of interviews, they have a whole bunch more ideas, right? Like it wasn't like they were running out. Like there's a whole bunch, right? And so, you know, what can they do with Smash? I mean, honestly, I think they probably should just keep it as is because it's kind of like Mario Kart.  And so I think Smash needs to be, it needs to stay that way as well. But that doesn't mean they can't, for example, give us a kick-ass single-player, right? Like I think they honestly should just do like a subspace emissary, but just make it better. Ugh. Stop being afraid to cut it. Smash is going to end up like Pokemon. There's going to be like 151 brick and characters. Let's do it. It's going to be absolutely insane. Actually, one last thing. Sorry. I'm just going to switch to the Smash. Because something that Nintendo has started doing now is that, you know, Swatoon has had a series of updates, right? Arms had it, right? I bet they might do it with Mario Kart, but also, you know what? They should probably do it with Smash as well. Like, have it be like a game that there is like a more of an online community and there's active events and updates going, moving forward. Obviously, fighters, that takes time to polish up, but there's other things you can do.  You know, like that helps give the game more legs and, you know, it'll keep, it'll get people interested for a new one. Well, since Eric is so bored, he's playing a mobile home game. Dude, they should make an intercrossing fighting game. We're going to flip that. We're going to get to our Q&A section. If you guys have any questions, you can just super chat them in as low as $2 to get them in. We got four already. We're ready to go. We got back up, guys. Two is more than enough. Back up account 156 drops of $5 says, Hot Take. Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS is just as amazing as Super Mario 3D World for the Switch. Both are 10 out of 10. Thoughts? I don't think that's a hot take. I don't think it's a hot take at all. I think that's just legit. I think they're both great games. I don't know. Who was it that thinks? 10 out of 10? I don't know about 10 out of 10, but like it's up there. They're both up there. I don't know why people think 3D Land is bad. I loved it. Dude, 3D, it's a lot harder. Is it? It'll go play the original and then play 3D Land. It's a harder game. I would say like 8 out of 10 games, but they're still both really good. Like, yeah, what's the original?  Super Mario Brothers, what are we talking about? Are you saying 3D Land is harder than Super Mario Brothers? Yes. Well, 3D Land is a different style of game, though. That doesn't defeat what I just said. I don't know. I guess I just didn't find it that hard. Yeah, I didn't eat it. Well, I'm glad we got some pro gamers in the chat. Well, I mean, if I remember correctly, I just abused the Tanuki suit. So Booman, he said, which Zelda game do you feel is most difficult questions for everyone? Probably Majora's Mask. And one that pops in my head right away is you squint into the camera. I got it. Oh, actually Zelda 2. Zelda 2 is harder. You actually thought Majora's Mask was harder than Zelda 2. Well, no, I was just thinking about how long it took me, Tommy, years it took me to, first of all, I was thinking 3D is all the first because I'm a millennial. But, oh, come on. Come on, work. Thank you. It's working. While it's working, Jake, what was yours?  Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah.  Yeah. Yeah. How about Nintendo? What do you got? What's your most difficult Zelda? Zelda 2 because it's difficult to enjoy it. Shots fired. I think that's the main favorite game. I think Zelda 1 is more difficult than Zelda 2. No, third favorite. Third favorite, Zelda. Get out of here. That's a top five game for Zelda. For Zelda, not top five all the time. What are you? Damn it. You and me are going to have some problems. You and me are going to have some real problems. I hope you do a live stream in 2024 that involves if people super chat, you get punished because you're not going to like me at the end of that stream. I just think it's not a good style for Zelda, like a Zelda game. But it was nice to have you on the podcast when we did Nintendo. You can ignore my invite for next month. No, most difficult for me. I'm going to. So I don't find any of the Zelda games to actually be that difficult, but in terms of like most, it's going to be Triforce Heroes only because the single player is tedious. So it's not like it's not difficult, but it's just not like super fun single player. And the problem with multiplayer is all the online people would just chuck me off the map every time. And so then that's not fun either because they're just trolling you the whole time. Now, this doesn't mean that I think it's a bad game. It's just you have to have friends. You have to have two other friends that are going to be in the room with you to play with you. And I only had Eric. So we always had someone online that was trolling the share on us. And so it's just the way it's designed. But I don't actually think it's it's bad. You know what I mean? Because I don't think any of the Zelda games are bad besides the CDI ones, which look, if we're going to cut the CDI ones, Zelda's adventure is actually the most difficult. But I figured Boomin, he was probably talking about them. They did a Nintendo made ones. So yeah, no one. We didn't need to talk about that. But OK, I really want to get to the PipLock's question. Well, we'll get to it.  We have two more questions before PipLock. Eric, most difficult. Well, you played a whole lot in this old game. Well, you eliminated selection. Let's go. Well, it's difficult. I don't know. I kind of agree with you on that one. Because you didn't try for a series of games.  Oh, my God. We it was the worst. It was it was. Oh, guys, chucking us off the map. This is really helping us. All right. Very frustrating. We will get you. You know what? Because. Andress is a co-host. We will go to the PipLock first. What is the sexiest Pikmin? Never played it so. Blue Pikmin. I don't know. What is wrong with Eric again? Why am I switched today? Play Pikmin. OK, so Jake, your logic is that blue Pikmin are wet. So I mean. They like to get wet. They do like to get wet. Yeah, I'm I'm personally a bit divided on this one. Because on one hand, you have the purple Pikmin, which. Andress is sexually attracted to many Pikmin. Right. But then the pink flying Pikmin, they're just so elegant. And graceful. They get a break. That's tough. They do. They're both they're both sexy in their own ways. Agreed. It's red. Obviously red. And what is it because they're fire? Yeah.  I don't have reasons. No, it makes sense. Yeah, they're plentiful. Right. It's like that thing.  No, boy. Oh, boy. Look, boy, we went there. Look, I might not like mushrooms in real life. But the puffmen do it for me. Whoa. They're on that. No one was going to bring up the puff. I think we can agree that all the Pikmin are fuckable. All right. I think that's what I'm getting here. I wasn't going there. I wasn't just, I mean, if that's the case, what are the rock ones called? Because I need a hard one. They literally. Oh, yeah. Rock Pikmin. They are literally picked up all the way. I thought that's what they were going to call. Thanks for having me. I had a lot of fun. Yeah, he needs to go and look at Pikmin right now. He's like, I don't think he has right now. He's got the whole line. I do. I have the whole. They got they got some high res photos. Got the s reason the camera just switched to follow. They're free. Hey, it's following them. Oh, yeah. The ghost Pikmin are pretty cool. We're good. Hopefully we're good. I have no idea. It's still following you. It is what it is. Whatever, Eric, you are the center of attention of your own camera. So what Pikmin, buddy? For someone who's never played, just looking at the aesthetics of the Pikmin. I don't know that white one. This is your freaking weird. The white one. Yeah, the white one with the red eyes is kind of free. Oh, so you're racist. Totally.  So I'm going to reverse this to the chat. Bit black.  What's your favorite Pikmin? And do you find any of them effable? Because Jake claims they all are. So we've we've made cases for literally everyone. We haven't got yellow Pikmin yet. Pikmin are like people. Everyone is sexually attractive to someone. That is that not.  Which here we go. Bit black has it. The rock Pikmin say hard all night long. That's the answer. But not just have a joke. Okay. But it's a what game do you actually like? But for whatever reason, the purple Pikmin are begging for it. Oh my gosh. I'm fine. Okay. But not this. God, this is a good question. This is a tough question. That's how they move around so slowly. This is a very tough question. What game do you actually like? But for one reason or another couldn't actually finish. He mentioned that advanced wars got buried for me under a future redeemed in tears of the kingdom. So what's a game that you love, but just for some reason you have not finished it? The advanced wars is that for me. Fire Emblem Gauge as well. There's a lot of games that came out in the beginning of the year that I just need to get back to. Beginning of last year. It's already 2024. Oh my God. They're already about to reveal switch. Oh my God.  Yeah, right. This game is actually on Switch. But Crisis Core, Final Fantasy 7. I beat it on the PSP, but I'm not playing on Switch. I'm playing it on PlayStation for the trophies. And I can't complete it because I'm obsessively trying to 100% it. And it just got to be more of a even though it's really fun. So I just can't complete it now. Yeah, advanced wars is probably one of my answers. But oddly enough, I never finished Age of Calamity. And I liked it. I think something may have come out during then. I don't know. Taking three deluxe. I do see a lot of RPGs in completed, like turn-based ones too. Like Bravely Default 2. This is the weirdest name ever because there was Bravely Default and then Bravely Second. And then instead of Bravely Third, it was Bravely Default 2, even though there was Bravely Second, but whatever. Sure. Okay. For me, it's Xenoblade Chronicles 3. So I've beaten the first and the second. Yeah. Why would you finish this branded game? What?  Look, I don't care what Jake says about this. I actually really enjoyed my time.  I really enjoyed my time that I have like 20 hours into Xenoblade 3. And I'm not really sure what happened. Like what led me to stop playing it because I was having fun the whole time. I don't know if it was just work, life, my kids. I have no idea. But for some reason I've never finished it. And because of that, I'll probably never finish the DLC, which pisses me off because I finished 1 and 2 plus the DLC. And I've heard so many great things about how the DLC wraps everything up. But I can't, I'm not going to, you know, I got to beat the game first. So it's one of those I keep telling myself. I'm going to go back and actually beat. And I'm so glad Nish Quick Pops isn't on this week because he would be screaming at me right now for not finishing this game. I'll tell you that you could play Future Redeem before playing the main campaign of three. But I still won't. I got to spend it when I started. Either way is fine. I do think Future Redeem does a good job of wrapping things up in a way. But three, I mean, either way, you'd be fine. Um, but yeah, that I don't know why I've just never really finished. I have no excuse because I actually enjoy it a lot. But that's the whole point. It's a game you really, really like. I'm like, I don't know what it is. I just never finished. I got a question I want to address here. I've got a question for everyone too. This one's more important. This one's real quick. All right. So Captain Joe's here. I asked him. Oh, God. Well, we'll just wait till I finish. Captain Joe's here in the chat says, Jake, why is there nothing on your only fans page? And I think you just have to look more carefully. No, there's actually a real reason. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's a good response. That's two inch destroyer. Um, all right. My question was I just thought I'd throw this like a fun thing that we can talk about everybody. Let's go around. And what's your favorite race? Go Eric. Any track in Mario Kart 8? That's why yeah. Um, I'm not going to lie. If anyone ever asked you your favorite race in real life, there's only one wrong answer. We're going to move on to something that is just an amazing username. Clapping Zelda cheeks. Hell yeah. Do you think? And the funny thing is the serious question. Yeah. I love the username. Do you think if it's in the direct answer if is Twilight Princess a port from Wii U or a bit more HD? If we're seeing it in this first, if we're seeing it soon, it's basically just a strict rip from Wii U with just some minor modifications to work on Switch. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of agree just because of how much they have with that game. Yeah. I think they just, you know what? Screw it. They went full Wii U tech demo. That's where I'm at right now. They just redid the whole thing. For Switch or for Switch too? For Switch. Maybe added like a seller. Ten million seller dropping this summer.  People might forget the hype for Switch too if this is dropping on Switch. Yeah, yeah. I'll say that if they did that, I hope they change the AI for the enemies and make the bosses actually hard. Yeah. The dark nuts shouldn't be harder than the bosses. And like that's like a legit thing for like half the bosses in the game. Right. Actually, maybe every boss, to be honest. Like the bosses seem so epic when you face them. But they're basically giant teddy bears. The atmosphere is amazing. And then you're done in like five minutes because they're not that hard. Yeah. So remix the boss fights. Keep the designs just, you know. The designs are great. Yeah. I remember the first time. I forget the name of the boss, but when you're in the, I think it's the city in the sky. When you're flying around with the dragon in the air. The rock. Yeah. And you know, this is so epic.  It's pretty easy. I'm like, and it knew me wrong. Look, I got my flight dragon boss fight with Calguera in Tears of the Kingdom, which is exactly what I wanted this fight to be. And Calguera is not a difficult boss either. But it's also not a dragon. Yeah, not technically a dragon. I'm more of like. I thought it was a dragon, but like that first trailer review, like, oh my God, it's a giant ice dragon. And it was actually, you know, it's a giant ice parasite monster. So another random YouTube channel I have no affiliation with, because just because I think it's something every Zelda fan should watch, especially of those games. Oh, is there an end to this? I don't hear what I'm asking. If I can't before I do it. Yeah, sure. Okay. So I've told you guys this before, but internet pit stop on YouTube, that's the channel name internet pit stop. Has a couple Zelda videos that are so awesome. Okay. Especially on the like the atmosphere and like of everything of Twilight Princess. And just highly recommend the content. That's it. Yeah, I might have to check them out. All right, we have a, I think this is the last question of us being more super chats in. I just got picked up. So I took care of that. What is everyone's favorite adult beverage? Calm. That was coming. To be fair, literally I do that. To be fair, you can have that as a teenager. You don't have to be an adult. You never been in high school, buddy. You never been in high school? Come on now. Come on. I like the advice. You had to wait till you were 18 plus for that. I don't think I was clear. I like adult calm. Maybe you, it doesn't matter for you. I like adult. I'm sorry that you had to wait till 18 to experience that. That's all right. I'm not saying I had to wait till 18, but I like the taste of it from adult. I like an adult beverage. Whoa, now. Whoa, now. He's the right teacher. He had the right teacher in his class. All right. More serious note. Are we going to answer the question? Or are we just going to? All right. So I don't have a specific favorite. I'm not like a huge alcohol guy. I hate beer, but I'm going to give you like a handful of drinks I do like. I like Mike's hard just for fun. I have a few. Sometimes I might drink that with lunch. Yeah, Mike's hard. I don't want to come over. All right. I do enjoy white Russians. Those are pretty good. Yeah, white Russians. But that's almost like. Only white Russians? Only white. Dude, that's a party time. You have a drink. The drink is. Dude, white Russians can be a huge party drink. It's pretty fun. I mean, I don't actually like rum and coke, but I'll order it a lot just because it's easy. Yeah. Did you drink that when we were out? I don't remember. It's like the most basic thing that I know. The part I'm just going to hear. I actually don't like it because I like coke. Like it's like Coca-Cola as a drink. Oh, I don't like the rum kind of ruins the coke. If that makes any sense. I actually prefer I actually prefer to drink rum and whiskey on their own. Oh, so you're okay. So I'll drink like you're kind of like my fiance. She she like loves. So she actually really likes daiquiris, but she she'll take what is it a margarita, but she'd rather the tequila be put in shots. So you just get it over with quick and then enjoy the drink. Oh, I feel like a spicy margarita. I'll drink it as is. So yeah, I'll drink it as is as well. But you is like she doesn't like the taste of alcohol that much. She'd rather just get it over with just super quick. Oh, long island. That's fun. Okay. Long islands in general are just those are strong. One one random story for like when I was in college. I was with my friends and there was three of us. We ordered two large blue long islands and they didn't feel like drinking it.  And so I just took both and that night ended with me crying outside my house at 7 a.m. It does not surprise me. We need to find a time that you and I can have some fun where we're not working. Yeah, we need to get you out of your time. Maybe if someone I come down on a cruise and I have a free day. I don't know him up here. Because I'm coming down. I don't know where you where you live in down in Florida. I'm going to be we're going out of Orlando this year. When you when you came to Miami where where where'd you go? We were we weren't that far away from the ports. Okay, I mean you're probably just like a 20ish 30ish man. This year this year we go out over to Orlando this year. So that's probably further away from you. But I think it's closer to Mike. Because I remember Mike's closer to that or you were closer to Miami. Nate, can you guess mine? I think you know it. Maybe I should just fly down a day early to just like go to where you where you're at. Hang out. That's some fun. Yeah. And then go out to where we need to go. Maybe that's what I need to do. Hey, I know. I'm sorry. See, Jake, I understand you're asking an important question. But it's just literally in June, I'm going to be in Florida. And every time I've gone there, I've always missed the opportunity. In June. All right. In June. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool. We're thinking like June 19, June 20. My brother is getting married in July. So I was like, oh, Mr. Han, isn't this our time? Well, who bought the question? That's all I'm going to say. Oh, by the way, Captain Doge. I don't see. I saw it in Nintendo Super Chat today. I always get confused. I kept asking, have I seen an alligator? I always get confused about between alligators and crocodiles. But crocodiles have the more narrow ones. And I'm not even sure which ones in Miami. I should probably know that. But I haven't seen any of them personally, like in like the neighborhoods that I live in, even though there are some lakes and in theory, they could come through like, you know, the waterworks. However, there is a national park that's like maybe like a 25, 30 minute drive from here and like in the Niki Suki area.  You can walk it too. And there's just alligators all over the place on basically. It's like a sidewalk. There's also like giant herrings. There are like four or five feet tall. Five feet is probably an exaggeration. Let's say three to four. There's like these really tall like dinosaur looking birds. And there's snakes. But you can take kids here, right? Like as long as you don't interact with them, you can literally walk by them or ride, bike, ride them. Like you're, you could touch them. Like there's nothing. This sounds wild to me. I think I want to prefer though. We come to a day early than usual. And then you're going to go out for drinks and we ignore the game. Who invented this country's national park system? The entire thing. Whose idea was it? I don't know that. I don't know that. Gator Roosevelt. Oh, that makes sense. Pretty cool. Sorry. Every time I hear Gator, it's just Gator bitches better be wearing jimmies. I don't know if you guys get that movie reference. It's the other guys. For those who don't know, it's the other guys. This is where it comes from. It's a Will Ferrell thing. What's your favorite adult beverage? Exactly. I was going to get that. I got a top three. I mean, Jack and Coke is the best. Come on. There we go. Corona is great. And then Bailey's on ice. There we go.  It sounds like I got to go. It's a shame we can't all like meet up at E3 or something. That E3 doesn't exist anymore. You guys want to go back to E3? I don't think this year. Unless this was a Nintendo live at PAX West, maybe. They're going to announce a new system and they're going to show. I already partied with Jake. He gave me something out of a literal skull at a house. I don't remember what it was, but you know what I did it. Do you remember my favorite alcohol? I think you know it, Nate. Your favorite? I don't remember your favorite. My favorite type? Was it a beer? Tequila. Oh yeah. I was going to say you did some tequila with me. I didn't know if that was your favorite though. Yeah. Well, because it's the only alcohol that's an upper, not a downer. Yeah. And it's the only alcohol that doesn't convert into sugar in your bloodstream because it's made from agave. So it like I try to watch my blood sugar, so. Yeah. Yeah. I remember you telling me that. Yep. Yeah. It was funny because funnily enough, you wouldn't do as much tequila as I was doing. It's kind of interesting. I was getting a little more bricked up than you. It happens. To be fair, you were already bricked up by the time I met you, so. That's true. I had a lot of things in my system. Look, we don't need to talk about those things. Eric, if you had to, what's your favorite drink? Give me an amaretto sour. There we go. Amaretto sour. That's a popular one. That's a popular one. Well, is that it? Mine. So usually when I want to party, I'm doing rum and coke, but it's not because I really enjoy it. It's kind of one of those that like, it kind of ruins the coke, but I know there's booze. And I like Coke. Like you see me drinking Coke zero. It's like, I like Coke. So Coke kind of makes the booze more tolerable, but you want to get me really crunk. Well, one, for starters, I won't turn down any booze that anyone buys me.  Or if you have like, there's this bar in Eau Claire that on Friday nights has, has a God, it's not $1. I feel like we're having a post podcast talk live. No, we're not though. I, this is a, this is a question. You can see it. It's your question. It's a paid question. By you. So what? I was curious. Can I not be curious? Oh, you absolutely can. I'm just saying I know I can ask in the after show, but it's not as much fun. I'm not saying that I'm not. I'm trying to tell my favorite, it's my turn. And now you're just shitting at me. All right. I'll let you go. I like to talk to a top three. Anyways, no, um, so I do a lot of rum and coax in middle light. Those are like the, the standards, but I don't actually like either one of them to be, to be fair.  But as I said, there's, there's this place that has like $1 Long Islands and that's dangerous. That is very dangerous. I have $1 all night. You guys might go, I pay $15. I don't tell, I don't know. Their goal is to get a lot more than Long Island out of you. That's what I'm pretty sure. But I don't actually like them because I hate tea.  And when it comes to an actual drink I enjoy, tequila sunrise. And it's ironic because tequila is my poison, but I want to get drunk. If I want to get drunk, I'm drinking tequila.   Give me all. Also, if you make the Bloody Mary just right, Bloody Mary is going to be really good, especially if you have the right extras thrown in. You'll get the loaded Bloody Mary's. Anyways, if you know, you know, if you don't, you know, why we talk about Mexican Coke. I like my soda as well. I know because it uses real sugar cane. It's in a glass bottle. It's great. It is good. It is good. Anyways, we have no other super chat, so I guess I'll finally hide that. And we will start wrapping up the stream. We're going to go around to everyone in the chat. You can say who you are, where you're from, and just know there will be a post talk show that Nintendo will probably definitely bail from. Let's start with Daddy Jake. Where can they find you? Twitter. I'm not going to give away clearly. Oh, yeah, you can find me on Twitter, where I'm giving away five four day badges at PAX East in Boston, which is March 24th to 24th. If you just look up Jake Randall on Twitter, it's my last tweet. All you have to do is like the tweet and reply to the new game. You don't have to, you don't even have to follow me. I don't care. I just want to do the giveaway. There you go, Nate. And then you can also find me on YouTube, which is just Jake Randall and OnlyFans.com. Let me guess, you're going to PAX East, aren't you? How did I live like that?  Dude, your OnlyFans has no posts. Nobody cares. OnlyFans.com slash which destroyer. I'm building up my audience. There's not even follow. All right. Every time I go on my web browser on my phone, it reminds me that Jake sent me a link to OnlyFans. That would be funny. Are you kidding me?  Are you getting ripped up from my OnlyFans? You know what would be funny? If what you did is you posted like a picture of just one of your toes that's about two inches long. So you post it in a weird way. So people, it's left up for interpretation for what it actually is. Just by the way, it says OnlyFans sent by Jake. I don't know if you can see it. Every time I open the tab, it's like the second suggestion. Yet every time I check there, there's nothing going on. He's saving it for the content, man. He's saving it. I'm actually kind of afraid when there is content. So. Okay. Keep it up. I'm going to eventually open up Bandana Charmander's OnlyFans, and that's going to be your biggest competition. There you go. Oh, there it is. There it is. There you go. I'm just going to have another like an alternate OnlyFans called Nintendo Bitch. So we'll watch for that one too. No, boy. Yeah, it's where when I finally wear the Jason Tatum jersey, it's just a bunch of pictures of me. Andres, what you got going on? So, yeah, my name is Andres Restart. I talk about the exact same Nintendo topic every day. So if you like listening to the exact same thing every single day, without any research, without any perspective, or critical thinking, or, you know, nuance. Yeah, check my channel out. Oh, yeah.  Nintendo. What are you going on? Yes, I'm Patrick from Nintendo Talk. You can check me out. Today I did my first vertical stream on YouTube. They introduced that. Yeah.  So, like, it shows up on YouTube Shorts. And how did it go? Dude, I did a two hour vertical stream and I gained like 500 subscribers. But it was like a bunch of, yeah, it was. It was interesting. Did you do it from your phone? No. So if you do like a vertical setup on your OBS, it'll automatically make it a vertical stream. Dude, it's 17,000 views. In less than two hours. Yeah.  This is vain. Well, I'm going to tune in tomorrow morning. Vertical stream. Yeah, I was going to say, I know what Nate's doing tomorrow. So can you, so it's just a vertical setup. Otherwise you can just do everything normal in OBS, right? Yep. Yeah. As long as you have like a vertical aspect ratio, it'll automatically like. So you were about to insult the subscribers you gained from it. What were you saying? Oh, no, I just said it. You could tell it's like the Shorts audience, you know, like they're younger. Well, we do have Shorts. I do Shorts on my channel. So we had to ban a lot of Shorts during the summer. Oh, were they like talking like dumb? It was just like a lot of like.  And it was weird too. Because I don't know if any of my mods are paying attention. We are totally doing a vertical stream tomorrow morning. Do it. And I don't know who's going to be in school. But it is what it is. I've been doing it for seven hours a night. I just don't know what I would do. I would just do anything. You could play a game. I would feel bad like playing like, for example, I've actually been getting like the edge to like stream. What if I play it again? Yeah, I feel bad for doing it in that way because you wouldn't see the whole game. Or if you do scale it really small. You got to remember, this is how the Jungians are ingesting content. They don't care about that. It's really weird though, because like your viewer count would be like 300 and then 600 in like a matter of 10 minutes. And then like. That is insane. Yeah, I just wanted to test it out. I'm glad that you tested it out because I was very curious. Because I've seen some other people do it. And I was like, you know, it's not going to replace my standard stream at night guys. Yeah, exactly. It's about reaching new audiences and just kind of expanding because we do shorts on my channel about two or three a week. So it's interesting to kind of reach a new audience. And I have to remember the younger. So we probably won't be doing shots. Maybe maybe the right way to drop a hundred dollar super chat. I might show the children what shots look like. But I think I like that idea. So I'm looking at the chat, right? I think was a Pippa Chino saying that smaller screen looks better than the zoom. So maybe the right way to do is have like the game on one half of the screen and then make your camera on the other half. Oh, yeah. Some people do that. Some people do that to me that feels like I would just feel bad. Like, yeah, exactly. I want to show the whole game. But I also feel bad if the screen's too small. But I mean, like if you're watching on your phone, that that that is interesting, though, then that clearly went really well for you. Yeah, it went really well. And one of the things I did at the end was I played Mario Kart 64. And like it works better if you're doing like a four by three. Like so a lot of like classic games and could work. Good. This is found streams about to happen.   Let's try to see what happens. Just to experiment. I don't know. By the way, I don't know that my style of channel is going to click with everyone. But you know what? Maybe I get because here's the thing. I keep thinking about the short than the TikTok.  But I will note that I actually know that most adults also just consume content in vertical form. Oh yeah, everyone does. My entire family does. They don't even watch YouTube. So I could actually maybe, even though there'll be a lot of kids, it could transition into I actually, most of the subscribers might end up actually being adults. I mean, the kids will turn into adults eventually. That's true. Sam says play time. Dude, that would be a great game to do that. That would be great, too. Yeah. Yeah. Go on. And so play time. Oh man. Give me a reason to replay a game for my childhood. Um, you know, I don't replay games for the audience. That could be a good one. And I can still have cool things pop up.  It's just on the smaller. Oh man, I like this. Word. Um, look forward to the Nintendo Prime Live probably like 10 a.m. tomorrow. Unless I got a video to make. I've, I'm glad that, so it works really well. I've seen people do it on TikTok. I've never seen it. Yeah, man. Don't worry, Nate. You don't have any videos to make. There's no Nintendo news, so. Yep. There's no Nintendo news. What have I tried my, what would happen if I tried my traditional stream without a game? Just like a- In the score map. Chatting. Just like a chatty stream, talking about Switch 2. Can it work? Can it work? That, I mean, you don't know. It's a whole new audience. Hey, man. I might wake up tomorrow and you'll be at 300 million subscribers. Oh dude, if I kept going, I. I mean, how long was the streaming? You streamed for only two, a couple hours. And what was it? 500 subs? 500 subscribers. Yeah. I guess I'm just curious is like, those are actually, it's a little, Well, you don't know. It's a, it's a, he just did it. He was, yeah. I think those viewers will. Stream or it's just like a. Or they'll watch your shorts. You know, like those streams where like, it just streams nonstop and it watches the person sleep, whatever. Mine's going to be like, streaming until one of my viewers finds out where I live. Dude, that is insane. Turns off my computer. Oh, there you go. Well, I'll stream it. And I think we all drop hints if I'm like getting too tired. Just DM me the answer. That would actually be very interesting. If you just had your phone was constantly live streaming you, and the title of the live stream would just find me. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like that's that kind of idea. It's extremely dangerous, but it's also like, this is kind of interesting. I don't actually do that. I'm an old hat man. I don't think of how to reach the young ins anymore. It was a new thing. By the way guys, thank you. Thank you for the blessings. I appreciate it. And I'm kind of thinking like, what would happen? So, because like obviously I get, I get a lot of super chats on my streams. I'm like, what would happen if like I'm like, hey, I throw the shots out there.  Because there's like 7,000 people watching. I thought the number would be a lot higher, but it seems like people like, just endlessly scroll. So like I said, yeah, yeah. But yeah, in the moment that they scroll to you, like you got to be entertaining them or they're just going to keep going. Maybe I can bring back Tears of the Kingdom and I could bring back the Lava House building. This is, you should do it. I mean it's going new. It's going to eventually get saturated.  I remember when Tears of the Kingdom came out, I had this idea to build a house out of Lava and I spent hours like trying to build a house out of Lava and I thought it was going to be such a great idea, flopped. But Matthew Bob, if you want to reach out to me, I can refund you this. We don't do some requests here in the podcast. So if you would like a refund, just reach out to me and I will, I will send you that. Or you can do it tomorrow. Or next stream. Yeah. I mean, if you, look, can I play copyright music in the vertical streams? I don't know. Probably won't because it's our first one. We'll probably stick with with copyright free stuff. But tomorrow night, if you want to show tomorrow night, I can play that as the first song, just remind me. Or I can refund you if you want. Because yeah, I understand that there's confusion, but yeah, we don't do some requests on our podcast stream. All right.  I'm here. Eric. There we go. I'm here. Every Wednesday, wearing that Nintendo Prime merch. Word. Oh, yeah. Yo, Eric, Eric, Laura beat every shrine. I don't even have that. I don't even have that shirt. Eric is special. He's the only one with it, I think. I don't think anybody has the shirt. That's gonna be worth a million dollars some day. Maybe. You can photo shop your logo on my. Enough. You can follow the real thing. I wasn't making a joke. It's a real thing. It's me going like this with a blank shirt. I know. Everyone's using it to put whatever they want. And you can put it on there. I'd rather just send you an Nintendo Prime shirt and you just legitimately put one on. I don't know. I want to do that. I understand until I have the Jason Tatum jersey. I understand.  For those who don't know, I lost two bets against Jake Randall. He's gonna have to wear a Boston Celtics jersey. It's probably, you know, it's gonna end up on a podcast while the bucks play.  And then he also gets to control my name and the under thing for the whole stream. And he can't change it. Well, maybe I can give him permissions to come in so he can like change it throughout the whole stream if he wants to just mess with me. But I think I can promote people to do that. I don't know. I got to look at it. But anyway, thank you guys for being here. You can have fun. The Nintendo Prime podcast right here every Wednesday at 8 p.m. Central Time or roughly 8 p.m. Central Time. Next week, we actually are not doing it on Wednesday. We're doing it on Thursday, which one, make sure Daddy Jake can be there because he wasn't going to be there on a Wednesday. Two, it also makes sure that there is a direct on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. It gives us the opportunity to actually react to the direct. There are many times when our podcast happens the day before the direct. Yeah. If you work at a, this is an important announcement, actually. If you work since we're not going to meet till after Valentine's Day, if you work at a restaurant or a coffee shop, whatever, and every time you see a couple come in on Valentine's Day, say to the guy, wow, second girl today, huh? Every time you will end at least one relationship, it will be hilarious. Oh, God. Oh, God.  Nintendo Prime does not endorse this stuff. No, I do not endorse this at all. We have Paul Gale Network coming on next week. We got Nish Quick Pops coming on. Botox Games is coming on as well. Andres Riesson might be doing his own thing, which is totally fine. He's not fully committed yet to Thursday. He's always committed on Wednesdays. It's up in the air. It's up in the air. He might be here. He might not. I understand. Dude, a partner showcase comes. You got to do what you got to do. Nintendo talk will definitely not be here, unfortunately. But hey, I sent you a DM and you just ignored it and didn't commit to anything else. I think he hates me. It is what it is. No, I'll be on. I'm always, I'm always around. You're always around. You answer better than Zach does. I'll say that. So we'll do another. No, he went on vacation and just pretend I don't exist anymore. It is what it is. All right, guys. Yeah, I'm sure he'll be back on someday when he eventually checks my DM. All my unread DMs. You guys are awesome. Thank you for being here. And we will catch you not the same time next week, the day after. So it's gonna be a little bit of eight days to the next podcast. Catch you guys later. See ya. I almost just ended the stream inappropriately. Hold on, we have an outro.


So I've been, of course, testing and looking, what's the truth? And I've noticed that there is a yes when it opens up here, and a no, and it pulls up here. And interestingly enough, I've had migraines in the past. So always this pulling. So that, to me, is interesting to understand, because I've looked all my life, why do I get these migraines? And it has been a no, always telling me no. I do have this confusion in my testing as well. Sometimes it appears as if the ego has understood the system a little bit too, and is trying to pretend to give me an impulse that is not coming from the truth, but from the ego. Is the ego doing that? Of course, it's doing only that. That's its main business, to confuse you. The more terrestrial you are, the more corporeal you become, the more present you become, the less that ego, that wily thing, that ego lie can confuse you. The more detached from the system, the more in a higher state or whatever it's called in the different traditions, the more the ego is in charge. That is the horrible truth of these experiences. And of course, one can take that risk. There are people who like to do all of that. There are many ways to the truth. The issue and the problem is the question of samarpan, of surrender. There is a deep resistance to surrender in every form and facet of that expression. The bending has to be there. There is no experience of truth without it. And what is bending to what? It is Petra, the name of this body is Petra, right? It got a little stamp when it was born. So there is Petra, and she's bending to the impulse of truth that is emerging from her center, her central impulse, the cosmic impulse, the antar-atma, the antar-guru, love, truth. It has different facets and different names, but it's that thing finally. And bending to that, samarpan to that, means flowing with that impulse.  And it's amazing now, because you can see that. You just need to move that compass in the right direction or follow the compass that is pointing you in the right direction, right meaning that which brings the greatest joy to the system. We're not here on this planet to suffer like this. I'm still a novice in asking and talking or getting in touch with the truth, but what I was still first have a surrendering inside of you and right before you ask the question, because if I'm not, then the ego is trying to get in. So it's first but surrender and then ask the question and then to hear. Yes, and what is interesting also is that after a while, you won't need to ask any questions anymore because the system is in tune with the truth. Of course, it's something that is not continuous.  But what is interesting is that it is not this enlightenment that you're yearning for and which you never reach, apart from three people who are sitting under a tree and being looked after by the village and there is this sort of sadness.  When all that time, that truth is right here at the center of your being. It is not out there. So as you start to feel this truth within, that empowerment is not an egoistic empowerment. It is the truth that is in action then. And the first time I had a migraine, was it a time when I did long, long meditations? There you go. Nothing unusual. I've heard that so many times here. Long meditations, they're like an anesthetic to the system. They just push out the consciousness. And if you're looking for enlightenment, certainly you can do that. But may I ask, and not from a utilitarian perspective, but from an existential perspective, what is enlightenment doing? Every enlightened being has to reintegrate in order to function in this body. So if that is also this, then why go into that when you can be this and experience that in this? The existential question and answer that comes from the enlightened master only comes after reintegration into the system and the deepening of the self-realization process. That's when they start answering questions. They don't do it before because they can barely speak. One after another, example after example of that. So self-realization is you bending to the source, to the soul, to the truth, to love in samarpan, in surrender and moving fearlessly with the action of the truth. It's about moving fearlessly and you develop that fearlessness to go with the truth by the various practices that essentially support the spiritual quest, like seva, for example, adhyatmik seva, spiritual service. Those disciples of Ramana who were in the ashram and who were receiving the truth at his lotus feet were in seva, they were in samarpan, they were in seva. They were not cherry picking what they like about what he's saying and applying it to a limited conceptual approach. So the quest for the truth is not simply a conceptual quest, it is a holistic quest. It is about the entire system acting in the truth, not just the conceptual, not just the emotional, but the entire system in the non-dual state. So as the experience deepens, what you're experiencing as the know now will even get lesser and lesser and you won't even have that pain anymore, the no pain because the opening of the heart in your case is an experience of the yes, right? So that will open more and more.
