Animal Crossing underwater version and it was all new animals that were all aquatic and like fishes and stuff. Yeah, it's called Endless Ocean Luminous played on May 2nd. Hey. Maybe they just go the tears of the kingdom round and you have like your base city and then you have the underground that's like underwater.  Mole people. Mole people. Yeah, they can have like a spot. They're the ones who are trafficking. What is? Oh, God. OK. The only reason I could see how national would know about this game so far in advance is just like because they know devs and devs talk, right? Like it's just science gone through the grapevine. That's like the only reasonable way I could see maybe something like that happening. But also, you know, when it comes to like Nintendo EPD projects, like we didn't hear it like do we hear anything about tears of the kingdom that was a rumor that was legit? No, two years in advance. I mean, it's kind of hard because there were a lot of almost two years. We had we had the one patent. That wasn't really a rumor, though. But oh, yeah, it was also official information. Yeah. And some of that was true. Some of that was in the game. Yeah. I'm trying to think of actual rumor. We didn't really have a lot of rumors which is the kingdom, to be honest. Outside of like release dates, there wasn't really any. Yeah. Yeah. So that's it. It's always been like kind of that way, though. It's there's hardly ever rumors around. Like there was around like, oh, maybe a reveal. But not like real and maybe you could argue that because there's a lot more hype for Animal Crossing now after what happened with New Horizons, that's why there's like maybe devs behind seems talking more about it. Like it's a possibility. But I mean, I also understand why we could maybe more doubtful about this and because it's so far in advance and there's so much info. So yeah, I'm definitely the one bit of info. I'm not skeptical on that. I think could be legit is talking about a series of like doing some kind of animated or anime series because I know Animal Crossing like obviously is really popular, but it also already has a manga series. So like there's that. So that's breaching to another medium. So I don't think and like the Legos are out now. Those just came out this month. So I don't think it's too far of a stretch to say that like, oh, yeah, they're going to do a short like animated series in 2026 that coincides with a new game. Like that, that to me seems very realistic. Sure. Animal Crossing is definitely one of those games, Nintendo games that would it make sense to kind of do something like that. Like as much as I would like to see like a fire animal, more Metroid show or movie, they only sell two to three million currently. So is it worth investing that kind of budget? No, but for Animal Crossing, for sure. I would kill for a Xenoblade anime, but I know it's never going to happen. Well, maybe an anime which would be lower budget than like, you know, a Hollywood movie, you know, sure. They could do like a big, like a four episode kind of thing or eight episodes sort of stint. And then it only releases in Japan. Yep. And then we have to fight to get a crunchy roll. We'll get it. So we'll be happy with it. Anyways, right, right. Yeah, both of you to assume a Nintendo anime would go to crunch your roll and not anywhere else. Well, we'll figure it out. It'll go to all right. Well, let's get to the Q and A section. Remember, guys who are watching live, if you want to get a question from the Q and A section, $2 super chat or member chat, ask your question and we will feature it. If you're on any other platform, I don't know, bits, something. I don't really know all the platforms work. All right. So let's go with the bits. It's not. What did you say? Well, I mean, you're on your own about where I mean, we're not. Okay. Anyways, Dora Boni 785. How are you doing tonight? Prime and Kat Bergeson. The rest of you guys apparently don't matter, so yeah. You guys don't get to answer this question. I'm doing good. The captain of trafficking. Listen. Oh, boy. I'm sending the ninjas after you. No, I'm kidding, though. Thanks for asking. Score, buddy. I'm just for the rest of my life. To answer this question, you just have to read my subtitle. I'm just surviving the day. Let's see here. Taker 610 just wanted to get his little jokie take out there. It's called Switchy McSwitch Face for the name. I'm just, it's a thing. Yeah, that's how your face is going to look after you get the switch attack. Oh, jeez. Oh, no. SamTalks game says, how early do you think we're getting Animal Crossing? Is it in Splatoon 3? It was only finished in 2022. 2022. Because the Nintendo EPD group that makes Animal Crossing also makes Splatoon. Yeah. Well, the thing is, they just came out with a DLC. Well, the rumor says 2026, but also Animal Crossing, New Horizons, was slated for 2019 and delayed to 2020. Right. And now I'm kind of, I think I'm now entering a mode in my life where I've just prepared for delays. I remember when it came to Tears of the Kingdom, I was like, oh, no, there's no way it's getting delayed. And the thing is, even after that came out, they spent a lot of their time just adding content to it. That content that arguably should have been in the game at launch. Right. If they delayed it again. I wonder, okay, because like Animal Crossing, you know, they've shown like it's a once per gen game. And it did really well when it came out in like the real big heart of the Switch era, obviously the pandemic helped. But I keep thinking like, do I really think they're going to go straight to Animal Crossing next, or would they rather get a multiplayer game out in another Splatoon 4 out in two years and then get Animal Crossing out like a year or two after that. And more of the heart of it. I don't think they're going to do Splatoon 3 than 4 than Animal Crossing. I think they like going back and forth. But then once you have one, then Splatoon 2. Do they not do like that Amiibo Festival stuff for Animal Crossing? Okay, well, not, okay. Amiibo Festival. If it doesn't back up Nate's point, it's not credible. But if it does, then we can talk about it. If you want to consider Amiibo Festival real. All right, go ahead. Sorry about that. He's muted. Or what about, I don't know if it's the right timeline. But they did like a repush for New Leaf. Take that power away. On the 3DS, they like added Amiibo support to New Leaf. Not that that counts as like a full game, but it would have been something for them to jump back and forth to. Who made Amiibo Festival? Wasn't even them. I also think 2026 or 7. Because that's about the time gap between New Leaf and New Horizons was 7 years. I think because it was 2013 to 2020. So then go 2020 to 2027. I think is about right. I bet they're aiming for 2026, but I think it'll likely be pushed to 2027. Yeah. I had to say, I just don't feel Animal Crossing is like the kind of game that takes a really long time to develop. Well, here's the thing. I got to add in all that animal. I hope the next one is content. Well, I mean, but to that, but the thing is they just wrapped us with two and three DLC. So now obviously not whole devs. And I agree with that. Yeah. But you know, it wasn't all hands on deck is my point. So I do agree with Jake. I want it to be content packed because I feel like New Horizons was not content packed at launch. And even the stuff that was there was really easy to get through really quickly. And then they kind of like slowly dropped other stuff. Like, oh, you can dive now. You can go to other islands now. The thing that worries me is because it's a slow burn game and because New Horizons was so successful, I worry that it will have more content at launch, but they will still intentionally withhold things so they can have big updates. What? I just, that could be a right. If they choose the right things and they do it correctly, but it still makes me nervous, you know what I mean? I think they're going to 100% do that. Right. Yeah, that's the thing. I just hope they do it right. I actually kind of made this point in my video today. I think Mario Kart Smash, Animal Crossing, specifically, but also Splatoon and whatever. Maybe Fintel does another arms. There are these kinds of games that are big games. They have multiplayer features. The Nintendo wants to launch, you know, like purge in and then have them have legs, right? So have free updates and then eventually pay DLC. I forget who said it, but like someone said, a lot of this stuff was arguably should have been there at launch, right? I don't want it to feel like that. I want it to feel complete and feature rich at launch and then still have stuff that makes it worth coming back to in the future as well. I would go back to the rumor. It's called Animal Crossing Ultimate, right? Like the implication is that it's really dense right from the get-go. So, you know, I will never understand why Nintendo gave up on Animal Crossing in 2021. And that was it. Like they just want to say one thing about this, if it is true, there's a massive online component and that could be one of those things that keeps it going for many, many, many years. Yeah. Yeah. Let's put something out here, right? And Nintendo is only focusing on one platform at a time now. It's not like in the past where they had two Animal Crossing for Jen, two Mario Kart for Jen. It's one. And so, they probably wanted to make the one count. It released a really big game relatively early on, so it can have that evergreen, you know, status and then have updates throughout the gen. And that kind of makes up for the fact that there's only one game from that franchise. Well, there's also Pocket Camp. Well, you got the mobile stuff, right? So, that is true. It is a game.   Yes. Wow. I was way too quick to jump on the S. I'm sorry. And here's the thing. Here's the thing, Jake. Either way you describe that, the answer's still yes over here. All right. Only once. But yes. And see here. Taker 610, $5. That was fun. Thank you for sharing that with me. Dude, it was quite the ride. Oh, okay. So it was cool. Commonwealth Rome. Taker 610 says Commonwealth Rome suggested that Link Between Worlds would be a great switch remake. I could play the Oracle games on Nintendo Switch Online less necessary in my opinion. Well, I mean, you can put Link's Awakening as well on NSO. I think, yeah. Link Between Worlds is what he said in the chat. I know. His argument, though, is that also games wouldn't make sense. Link's Awakening on NSO is a more recent addition. When Link Between Worlds remake came out, it was not on NSO. I can't after. But my counterpoint to that, I think that Link Between Worlds holds up really well. The Game Boy Zelda games, they're great games from a sign stand point, but the controls suck. Is the Link Between Worlds over a decade old? My god, I'm all right. It was 2015, right? I think it makes sense to remake a Link Between Worlds before the 2015 world. Wait, wait, wait. Link Between Worlds began development as a remake of a Link to the Past, and then they said, well, we want to add all this new stuff to the point where it just decided it's a new game. Link Between Worlds is ten years old? That's what I was saying.  Man, I feel old. I remember when that game came out. Geez. I just want them all, but I think my point is that Link to the Past even, I would say, holds up, but the Game Boy Zelda games need the remake more. Not just because of the graphics. It's really the controls. They drive me bonkers. They're already old school. The design is complex in a way that's good. It's a good Zelda design, but they're too complex for how many buttons the Game Boy has. The only Zelda game that's ever been remade from before the 21st century is Link's Awakening. That blows my mind. Ocarina of Time got a remake. Oh, I get it. It's on the budget as remaster. Okay. They're technically remasters. Technically. But it's such an overhaul. They're good. I would put it in the remake league for how much of a jump it was. I'll give it to you. For the definition I was thinking of, that's not what I was. For that definition, you're correct. Where's the Zelda 2 remake?  Did you hear that the Prince of Persian team wants to do that? I would love for them to do that. Yeah, it would be so cool. I don't want this Zelda team being taken away to do that, but yeah, the Prince of Persian team, sure. Someone said in chat, it would be cool if they added actually good online. And you could actually play four swords with three other people. I think we should do four swords here on the podcast. Check this out. Check this out. What if the reason Nintendo didn't do DLC for Tears of the Kingdom is because instead they decided to do a spin-off based off Tears of the Kingdom that's basically open air 3D in no way, but look at that Kingdom gameplay where you are literally running around with sages. Yeah, but those are NPCs, not real people with internet connections. Imagine you were to subtract the NPCs and just had internet connections. You think Nintendo has good enough internet for that? I mean, first off, Pokémon does it. Oh, but one of Pokémon is... Monster Hunter. Yeah, Monster Hunter Rise does it amazingly well actually. That's a much better example. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Let me spin it. Let me spin it. The reason I brought up Pokémon is because if Game Freak can do it, anyone can do it. That's a good point. They don't really do it that well though. But they can do it. It is doable. If we're talking about a spectrum here, Game Freak is on this side. Game Freak is on the spectrum. I'll give you that. And then, you know, the Zelda team is like the crime of the crop, right? So, you know, they can get it done. But it's not good. They just won't do it. Again, it's just a cool idea. That was the Holiday 2024 game. I think that would be pretty hype. I think we'd be pretty interested. If they're going to do something, I think it's going to... It'll be a Hyrule Warriors. Here's the Kingdom spin-off. Either this year or next year to keep it close to tears of the Kingdom. Who's going to buy that?  They've already shown that they don't care about the continuity with the games. So, they'll find a way to have Link and Zelda go back in time. I would rather buy a 2D Zelda game. It would just be a spin-off. But no, Hyrule Warriors' Age of Calamity sold really well. Yeah, it did. It oversaturated us with war games and games. Where money speaks, man. Yeah, exactly. Have they oversaturated us? Hey, Andre. Talks, bullshits. By the time we get to next year, we would not have had a Warriors game based on Nintendo IP in like five years. Six years. Sure. Well, hold on. Hold on. What to call it? Three Hopes came out in 2022. Oh, yeah. So, I was thinking of Zelda ones. Yeah, Zelda ones, yes. We already have two. I know it's not what I needed. I was just correcting what I missed. I just don't think we need a third Zelda Warriors game. We need a Xenoblade Warriors game. We need a continuation of Hyrule Warriors the original. I need a Hyrule Warriors 2. No. Yeah, I know. Come back. We get it. No. But I am not going to play it with you. I'm just not going to be interested. I'm not going to play it with anyone. I'm going to use it by myself. Hyrule Warriors, especially Definitive Edition is like, bloated with content though. The point where it's like, it's just too much. It's not right. I bought the game and didn't play it. I opened it up. I played the first level. I bought the game used for full price. Dude, it's such a good story. Not even halfway through it. You know, of all the things about Hyrule Warriors, the original Hyrule Warriors, you could say it's got such a good story. That's not the argument I would make. The story is awesome. It is pan fiction. Yeah, that's why it's so good. That's why it's so good. Oh, now Midna travels through the portal.  I'm going to tell you something in this game. This game explains why all the timelines are converged. There's an evil witch and she's sexy. And then she's not just an evil witch. She's also a good witch. Because there's a good and a bad way. Yeah. There is a personality conflict. And then there's like, why am I playing now? You finish the game. This is my one compliment for Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition or just the first Hyrule Warriors. The story rocks, man. The design of Princess Zelda. She's hot. That is so undeniably true. That is the version of Zelda we've gotten. But it's so overblown. And the story is so convoluted. And there's like so many, there's like three resolutions.  Now we got to go stop her. Okay, we stopped her. Everything's fine. Oh my gosh. Now we got to go stop him too. And oh my God. And then oh my God.  I think that captain should actually on everything that just happened all the time. Wait, wait, wait.  All right. All I want to say is that captain, you should make a video doing like a plot summary of that game. It's already so funny like that video crush it like with like some solid like animations or something. Oh yeah. Like a recap. I'll step in and give the real plot summary. I mean, I'm sure I got it right. Yeah. Dude, if they ever announce another Zelda Hyrule Warriors, you I'm dropping a video about how Hyrule Warriors are the best story in Zelda history. Oh my God. If you ever have a low in content I'm already on the dislike button. All right. Let's go sign up for our sponsor, Aura. It is a serviceable story is what I would say. It is it just like a reeks of fan fiction. Yeah. That's I'll say there's something to be said about like not every story needs to be extremely complex. Right. And a super nuanced and well woven. I think sometimes, you know, the story is just fun and enjoy. It's a fun ride. That's that that says a lot like I would argue that the Maribos movie has a good story because it's fun to watch. And like it's the Nintendo game and it's a Zelda game. Being the best story for a Zelda game is like being the smartest kid with Down syndrome. I Wow. I will say I find what plays in a line to play, but I don't play it for the story. I would boot up Hyrule Warriors because I'm like, yeah, I want to sorry. I want to go on punch a hundred Bo Cobblins at once because that's fun. But but I wouldn't say the story is the strong suit of the original Hyrule Warriors. That's what I'm saying. Warriors game. You're just supposed to do cool attacks that wipe out a thousand Bo Cobblins. Exactly. You want to know what's the best story in Nintendo history? Xenoway Chronicles 3. Thank you. I mean, that's actually probably the answer. Are you going to say Paper Mario a thousand-year door? That's also probably an OK answer, but I was going to joke and say oh, oh. I'm joking, but it's kind of wild. For those who don't know, that's a single-player and Smash Bros. and it's a lot of trades. Oh, that is what that is. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I didn't play bro. So we have one more question. It comes from Twitch. Thank you for those who are watching on Twitch. Bo Sheepall says random question. Have any of you ever been given a wedgie? And if so, what's the story? There's not much of a story behind it. Dudes mess with each other. Well, no, I have a story. I have older siblings. That's the story.  I don't know what a wedgie is. I said, yeah. Just right up in the air. You're going to wedgie where the underword just tears.  Yeah, I've had that happen. Nope, I was homeschooled. But see, you can be homeschooled. It was my dad, so. I have not gotten a swirly. Oh, now we're going to swirly. Wait, wait, wait. You know, it's funny. You have a lot of swirly's in your life, haven't you? I didn't get that many wedgies in school, but I definitely got a lot of, like, I'm sad that I don't have anything contributing to this. Ripping your pants down. Yeah, see, Jake, when you look like this. I did get suspended once for going to school only wearing a paper towel roll. What? Whoa! How does that even possible? I don't know why, but I'm not surprised. The cardboard roll? Or, like, the paper towels all around you. Hand over the tip. The scrum was exposed. Jesus. Holy. So that's what you have to contribute to this. This is a... Did you have a... It wasn't a two-way, it had to be a mini roll, right? Or is it supposed to be a toilet paper roll? Yeah, it had to be a toilet paper roll, right? Are you sure it wasn't just a cotton swab? It was... I was actually... I inserted myself inside of a Q-tip. Oh, okay. That makes more sense. You're doing it wrong. If that's... All right. Well, that's going to do it for episode 63. You only got six more episodes of this level of craziness before we... I don't know, some changes in season three. Keep it a little more cleaner. I don't know. I don't know. All right, guys, thank you so much for tuning in. We're going to go around the room and everyone can introduce. We'll reintroduce. Tell me what you got going on, where they can find you. Mr. Brick to the UP AF. Where can they find you? What do you got going on? Nothing? Try me on Twitter, slash X, at Jake Randall, YouTube Jake Randall, and OnlyFans.com slash two-inch destroyer, number two. Wait, number two. On your OnlyFans? No, no, no. Not like T.W.O. inch destroyer, just like two-inch destroyer. Like the number two. How is that possible?  I thought maybe there was a second inch destroyer, and you were the second one. There was inch destroyer, and that name was taken, so you're the second. Also. Two-inch destroyer. OnlyFans.com slash two-inch destroyer. Eric, where can they find you, bud? Here. Every Wednesday, or most Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Most Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Where can they find you? You can find me at Andres when you start on YouTube. I talk about Nintendo almost every day, news and theory discussion videos. Beyond that, I am currently aiming to become number one under the sun, rest in peace, a curatorium. Okay. By the way, all three of the content creators on the bottom are all better than me. Go subscribe. They should be bigger and get more views than I do. And the one in the top middle? No, the one in the top doesn't... It's bigger. Yeah. Two-inch, I don't know, man. It's pretty... It's bigger than what does it say about you? Or all of us, for that matter. I quit... But I have... I got children. One-point-seven-five is correct. Two inches is more than enough. Dynamite comes in small packages. That's what I was told growing up. You were lied to. I was also told that it's not of the size. It's how you use it, you know, the motion and the ocean. Okay. It actually doesn't matter. Where are you going? Where are you going? Where can they find you? After all, you are the Dungeons video guy. Hi, that was me. All social medias, including... What kind of Dungeons? Wouldn't you like to know? I don't watch videos. Go on. He turns out the lights when he makes his videos. Oh, boy. Captain Bergerson after dark. No, everything is Captain Bergerson. That's my dad, and I'm the captain now. So look at me. I'm the captain now. And yeah, I make videos. If you ever wanted to subscribe to the channel and think, man, this guy hasn't uploaded in two weeks, what's going on? Don't worry. It's because I'm about to drop a two-and-a-half-hour video talking about Zelda Dungeons. So don't worry about it. And the video's got a movie coming. Basically. Anyway, so yeah, it's... Yeah. If you ever wanted to watch a video where it's like, I want one guy, one really nerdy guy to talk to me about one level in a Zelda game for half an hour. Subscribe to my channel. And they're awesome. Yeah, they are amazing. Appreciate that. So now we got Nick with no K who is in fact here. Yep, I am in fact here. Um, you can follow me personally on Twitter at nerdiusnick. I tweet about stuff and things. Um, anything that, you know, I feel like talking about anime, sure. Zelda, sure. Controversial anime stuff? Absolutely. The fact that I ate three Sonic cheeseburgers two weeks ago? Sure. I can barely handle one. Those things are gross. I thought I was going to die. They're not even good. They're not even good burgers. They weren't good, but I hadn't eaten yet that day. And I was starving. Why was Sonic the choice then? Because it's the closest place to my work and I really wanted a burger. Their burgers are so bad though, man. I don't know how they're still in business. They're just the shakes maybe. I don't even Nick ate my dad. Sad. I'm sorry you had to find out this way. Um, But yeah, I'm on Twitter. I do stuff there, but I also have a podcast, the nerdiest podcast. You can go listen to it on YouTube, Spotify, all the places we're recording an episode this weekend about that I'm really excited about that is the encroaching digital age where we talk about like digital media is creeping up and video games are going to come up in like digital game sales are higher than physical game sales, but then like you could lose your whole library if it's all digital. So like there's that. And as I mentioned earlier, I'm doing Minecraft live streams somewhat consistently. So we do have gaming content over there, but we usually talk like movies and TV shows. So that's what I do when I am in fact and not here. That's awesome. All right. And you guys obviously know I'm the host of the show, Nintendo Prime and check out the Nintendo Prime podcast. I heard and actually after the show is over, I'm going to stay up and make sure every episode is actually up on our audio show because I've been really bad about this and I need to get a better habit and I'm going to make the habit as we're going to get everything up right after the show. Even if Eric dips out, I guess I just do all the work, which is totally fine. Just really wanted to pay it around here.  Sorry, guys. Someday I might spread the wealth. I will send you my I have this long off goal in the 10 year plan. This podcast is getting like 20,000 views or an episode.   If you want hot Nintendo takes, I got him. I got plenty. Dude, I follow him on Twitter. He's got lots of hot anime takes as well. A lot of things that go viral like crazy. Oh, yeah. Takes that he has on anime. I can imagine half of the video games based on that. So who's hotter? Pyra or Roy from Fire Emblem? Pyra, easy. Are you sure about that? What about that? Pyra and Roy the Koopaling. Roy the Koopaling? Still Pyra. Well, Roy does is technically Koopaling and if he's anything like Bowser, he might be able to breathe fire. That's pretty hot. Yeah. Factually hot. Oh, that's what you meant. Factually hot? I guess that too. Yeah. Pretty hot. That's episode 63. We'll be back for episode N64 next week. Catch you guys in that next episode. Love you, Chad.
