we we got 100 days left that's it i mean count the house begun so i mean it's funny because i remember putting a tweet of saying oh i started master mode today uh for breath of the wilds in preparation for tears of the kingdom like dude i just started master mode at the same exact time so i've been playing cheers i'm not just a kingdom breath of the wild i mean i mean i can breastfeed her playing here's the kingdom i would be master mode but the thing is i don't i don't find master mode that much challenging than the regular version it's just let me say a little stronger i mean i i right now i only have like two more powers to get to and i still i only only have four hearts i haven't gotten i haven't gotten to no strides yet and i only have two towers to get to um but um yeah playing that even though i said i wasn't gonna get engaged i actually ended up getting it you know i would say that of course you did and i will pass you know so get it um i started playing about 10 minutes into it and that was that that's it so far i just been into um tears of the king not tears of the kingdom tears of the kingdom mentality and and playing breath of the wild trying to get it um i almost almost started i wanted to start like one of those 100 days till tears of the kingdom um breath of the wild playthrough guys but that's too ambitious i like that i don't okay i'm just gonna hunt hundo and a hundo yeah yeah that's all right all right uh let's let's see um you know what eric since your camera's not working what are you playing as he's sitting there playing a phone game i am yeah the podcast not entertaining enough for you you gotta you gotta get your mobile game i'm listening you know i'm listening this could play switch yeah well i didn't have mine here but i i got like four of them in the house just ask uh i now have made it to world five uh in sparks of hope so and i'm oh yeah i'm playing that too as far as i can get in all the other worlds so yeah yeah i'm just starting world five so nice all right all right all right uh i guess next up that's h m k buddy what have you been playing lately mr nintendo 64 i've been playing a lot of golden i actually and uh i've been playing uh breath of the wild to get excited for tears of the kingdom then like 100 days to go i was actually considering like you know kind of sort of like what mike said or i'm like yo 100 days 100 days of content for tears of the kingdom of like no i can't do that i need sleep and then yeah the hearts missing link is going to have information soon i just know it and then i'm going to be traveling and then blah blah blah and i'm also been playing the the awesome game of like take care of a new tattoo so that's been reaching me i'll take care of you yeah that's i like that game they should they should add that next to surgeon simulator they have simulators for everything why not simulate taking care of right oh no no that's it's it's not fun i like i can't wait for this thing to heal like it and i'll be done with it there is this game called pressure washers simulator i did it is and it's coming to switch yeah i got off for the code i'm like oh people actually like that game it apparently it's very therapeutic it's like soothing because it has like little you can put music back back on this clean i'm like some people love it i don't know i have to watch it myself and i do that a lot in my my own house so is it fun i don't know i don't know if anyone enjoys it in real life but in a video game when it's a lot less weird i mean like it's it is therapeutic seeing like all the grime just come up with like the power like the the pressure and stuff i mean i think it's fun in real life i mean it's cool when you take your like dirty car through a car wash going the other side of the oh yeah it looks pretty nice you're inside the car you're not you're not you're not you know i don't know like i don't know about like enjoying the actual experience of spraying the car i don't know there's probably people who love it yeah i think you've been playing bud not fat are you sure you must find your out lifeline power wash simulator well i don't know i i got there might be something with that might might might be go to you for switch this year maybe probably not um i've just been playing fireman um and i'm i think it's great you know it's how he was uh finishing chapter nine last night so it's like a big blizzard uh so i'm now entering alugia and i got my first death first character died a way to spoil it dude half of chapter one there's no spoiler spoiler it's a spoiler for my play through yeah it depends on what mode you're playing if you're playing on the on the classic mode then yeah your characters that die in battle they're dead so like i use the time crystal though right as someone dies alright let me let me kind of rework the turn but i kept doing it and it was like no matter what i did every path you are just like i would have had to rethink the entire battle and i was like it's like i don't got time for this good so after four efforts of trying to rework the turn i was like there's this is your mistake was way too soon way too long ago yeah yeah it sucked though because um it was um a new tank character that's supposed to take like a whole bunch of hits but the main captain flew in and because it's magic base they tear through armor and it double hits so it doesn't matter that this character is like super bulky and heavy just rip straight through her and there's nothing i can do and i tried so many times yeah so it was a little disappointing but i'm at least now the stakes are a little higher so you know it's it's cool but i'm enjoying the game you know i'm getting through it the figure i should probably finish it maybe before the end of the month um because i also want to start i'm not sure i'm gonna pick up kirby but i definitely also want to jump on the band wagon and playing through breath of the wild again i want to restart again from in master mode i've restarted in master mode several times and i never finished it in master mode i think this time i actually will i'd like make a concerted effort to do so i'm gonna yeah i'm really i'm really interested in doing the um trial of the sword in master mode because i know that's gonna be a lot brutal yeah it's brutal there's there's one can't even do it in normal mode i know a lot of people can't even do it in normal and it's just master mode yeah yeah i don't know if i'll succeed but i'm gonna try so it's it is possible hey i was able to beat f0gx anything is possible so when they remastered that game hopefully you guys will see i mean they might make it easier anyway yeah so um i've been playing a little bit of breath of the wild because i've been doing research for different videos for chooses the kingdom so but uh yeah mostly fire emblem nice uh so i thought it was me uh you guys all know i've been i've been streaming the road on the channel i can't stream it now for reasons that we're already talked about uh i've been playing breath of the wild master mode been doing it now i'm on my third week in a row doing it it's not like i'm sitting here spending 60 70 hours a week like i would be if this was a bright like here's the kingdom like if i'm if i'm not on a video with you guys playing the game and i'm and you don't see anything happening on my channel i'm probably still playing the game um that's just that's just what's happening i'm gonna try to find a way to not be a dad for like a week i don't know how i don't know if it's possible if i can get enough babysitters back to back to back to back i'm gonna i'm gonna try um i'm gonna give you guys playing a week like in an hour like now in a week how many hours you put into a game like on average obviously this this difference if it's a new release game that i'm having a lot of fun with i'll probably put a good 40 in generally if it's a new game um if it's just like replaying an old game or going back to the back catalog yeah five ten hours maybe well i haven't had a day job still not ten hours of ten hours a day so after that i probably dedicated one or two hours a day if i can you know weekends a little more but um yeah i mean once i once i um i transition to youtube then i'll add add more time of course that's the beauty more yeah i think i think that's probably why i don't play that many games as in as in at the same time i'm playing this one and this one this one this one i play one or two max and i'll concentrate on those two and then i move on to the next two like that i still play more games at the same time just because it's time you know and then you have to balance family life and less bite out of the apple more bite out of the fun yeah man i'm taking too too too too much of a big bite out of the apple right now i want to take less of a bite out of the apple mouth is too full you're ready for something new yeah man yeah all right um yeah i only ask because i feel like some people like assume that like gaming youtubers play games like all day every day but what news wait what yeah i will say this people who make a living off of like live streams probably play a ton obviously because they're streaming it to you you know like you see dr you see dr just respect online for nine hours a day every day like yeah that's what he does yeah but yeah when he but the thing is he probably like what i'm curious on is how much game time does he have off camera probably none yeah probably none like some people their game time is when they stream and they don't do it otherwise like some foot streamers like when they play games is when they stream like to them that's just synonymous for me no like if i'm streaming a game that's like a separate from my own that's why i don't stream playing games because for me that's just i don't know i like playing games in private it's for you it's for you i mean there's no other personal experience and people forget that going in this world of sharing all the time you don't have to like everyone has to be that way yeah yeah i usually leave like a nice platformer for stream and i do all my hardcore rpg in the background yeah hours i do i like coming on uh like as i'm doing this uh master this master mode run i've done a couple streams on uh back to back sundays and it's funny because i get some some people who comment uh like you didn't put you know 800 000 hours in the breath of the wild like you said you did look how much you're getting owned in master when i'm like a dude one i haven't seriously played this game in like four and a half years like actually like try to play and beat and do anything and two like come on i i've never claimed to be like the highest skill gamer let's just be honest here i almost 100%ed the game one time without actually beating a lionel because they kept kicking my ass and so i just kept avoiding them yeah but you gotta kill the lionel you just ran i know what's going on like like i've never claimed to be the highest skill gamer i'm not like there was a time but i became a dad like 12 years ago and since then it's just you know i i have three children now so i don't care as much about being the highest skill gamer you know like i remember i got my dad to play breath of the wild he didn't finish the game but he it was a game he played more than he really usually plays games nowadays right kind of kind of brought him back for a little bit and you know i one day i kind of show him like hey this is what you can do to a lionel he's looking into a guardian he's like what he like he's looking at what i'm doing he thinks i'm doing like this crazy stuff and i mean i'm not even like the best breath of the wild player if you can look up crazy breath of the wild stuff and the things they do is just insane right um but like it's just kind of beautiful to think about how there are people like my father like nate that will go the entire game without fighting a lionel they see a lionel and they think oh it's time to run and that's really cool though because when i first played breath of the wild that was the feeling i had with the entire world like holy crap there's a guardian there i stand no chance against that right now i look at it look all right this is going to be cake but it's just kind of cool because breath of the wild was made in a way where so many different people can play it and they can choose how they can play it yep for some people it's a horror game where you run all the time but i didn't do that just line us just line us if you throw an h arrow to a lionel they disappear yeah yeah i know but that's just cheating like okay yeah here's the way here's the way i figure it i did that so you want to see i kill the lionel because i shot ancient arrows at them sure but also everything disappears including their weapons so what was the point it's like it's like i'm just pressing delete on them in the game it's not that's not beat yeah i don't like using ancient arrows on on uh i used it hey i don't mind using my guardians that's cool that's kind of what they were you're gonna want to use them in trial i'm never defeated a lionel i'm never confronted a lionel i just like walk past them like just hide low so i only beat a lionel once in normal mode on a stream like two years ago and uh julia um is playing breath of the wild right and there's that lionel in the varutu right before you go to that um and she's like you know i'm like you know you don't have to beat it you can just walk around and collect you know sneak around and grab all the arrows and just go you only need 20 you don't actually have to fight like no i don't run just kept getting her ass kicked kept getting her ass kicked she hands it to me and says okay i need a pro i'm like um well can embarrass myself i died like twice and i'm like i got this and then i kicked its ass i'm like okay cool and the only reason that i it felt a little easier to me is because i'm sitting here playing master mode where everything's harder this is actually not quite as difficult as i remember now that i'm playing master mode but then in master mode now i've already taken out three linals and i'm like okay well i guess i was just being a being kind of a wussy five five six well i mean the other thing is that the that that lionel you fight not as good as the other linos later into the game yeah yeah yeah master mode is a lionel on the great plateau i'm like what yeah yeah i love fighting that one i love playing that one with just like arrows and sticks yeah i first played master mode i'm like okay i'm not leaving the great plateau until i kill the same same i had to master i'm doing this where you always hit it like i want i want to get the letters as soon as possible i glide right out of there i need to replay that game maybe i could beat the lionel second go around i mean i just throw each arrow yeah i found like a lot of things like i just need to keep them in close quarters i can handle them in close quarters i can't let him get away from me but i do like to challenge myself because right now i have four four hearts still and i only have two more towers left so i've gone through the most difficult towers with three hearts nice you know so i do like to challenge myself in that way just kind of get the map and then i'll do the then i'll do the i'll get enough hearts to get the master store which is like what 12 13 13 yeah enough hearts for that then i'll do the rest you know so i like then i'll do the the the guard the those uh we call those four those four dogs that the four dogs the four dogs the four dogs the four dogs the the the yeah the camo and the bird i know legend celibate is gonna have three legendary dogs they're gonna be dungeons there are three legendary doggos you guys are laughing but they're gonna come back trust me do you think they're gonna come back to divine beasts oh absolutely absolutely oh the divine beast i think so i got enemies yeah yeah i want okay so not as dungeons but as and no no no you but you still got you still got i feel like you got to strum this time around like get a gopher's gonna be so pissed and he's gonna just send his malice directly to those things instead of just taking them over he's just gonna have them like do wild shit like the malice are came the mouse is coming out of death mountain that's bar adunio going crazy and then on the um on the cover art for teas of the kingdom you can see a giant tornado over the hebra and tabitha region that's volmetto going crazy i'm telling you they're all gonna go crazy and they're all gonna go they're still there they are there they should fight each other like a royal rumble style i just hope they like change it like maybe like the malice like changes its form so it becomes like maybe like a more natural looking version that or something or it just kind of evolves in some way but i'm down for that become alive all right yeah those things are gonna those things are gonna do ganondorf's will and like cleanse the earth for his return so instead of fighting instead of go in them and fighting uh whatever it is that's in there you fight the actual thing like the actual big giant yeah imagine like dark beast ganon but better like that was like the test run in breath of the wild but now all of them are just gonna be giant mechs that you're gonna and the combat's actually good for it yeah yeah i mean yeah because like they there are those patents for like the like increased animations for sky combat and stuff like if there's a lot more ways to move around an attack in the air they can make it work yep see how did i know the what the one podcast i don't have a zelda topic it's just gonna be zelda talk for like the first half hour it's okay oh no i hate talking zelda everyone it's the only game i'm really playing at the moment 100 days 100 days like 100 days actually you invite me on this podcast and you don't want to talk zelda it's 100 days because the digital version will be like live in like 10 minutes so it'll be like 99 days now oh you can always do the digital version early that's just yeah i mean if you mastered time travel you can probably already play it you can actually play it a whole day early yeah if you i mean apparently there's people who make streams that have already played the game and they just from another country like yeah but ask for proof and never comes they're actually from in the future yeah they're trying to tell me what tears of the kingdom is and how disappointing it's going to be and that they've already played it i'm yeah but with crazy those are some of the things they say i'm like oh that really makes a lot of sense i could see them doing that like if they make me want to believe them because they make their their words are logical like they sound right and i'm super global but there's no way there's no way no no and then no they haven't played yeah um all right well we're gonna do our first i guess um and it's about e3 is it dead now it's gonna be it's dead no sony no microsoft no nintendo no night to be fair it sounds like microsoft's doing the exact same thing they always do and they might let e3 attendees go anyway so it's pretty much like nothing's really changed they're just not using the e3 branding i don't think it's gonna be present at their event like it usually is but they're still doing in-person demos or the same time as e3 and they're still going to be having their typical summer showcase thing so i would say probably nothing's really changed with xbox to be clear playstation has been gone since 2019 so not a surprise they're not back uh nintendo not going is kind of the the one that's really the only news yeah it's really the only because it turned off the xbox news as much to do about nothing because they're still just doing their thing they're just getting rid of the brand association but then they're still associate it's weird uh it's been weird ever since they went to the microsoft theater it's been weird anyways that e3 with them man i wanted to go to e3 it was way better when microsoft was on the show floor actually yeah i want to do at least once in my life i'm telling you from experience man e3's like downward everyone's like saying that e3's downward spirals started when um nintendo started doing directs and that's not true right you know like nintendo still did directs they just didn't have a physical like presentation but they still always attached their directs to e3 and of course people were like you know that allows us to you know roll to the people our own drum we don't really need e3 to have our big things but we can always have you know events leading up into e3 but we all know like e3 is always gonna have that kind of i would say you know like draw for people to always have their eyes on the show right in my opinion and all people ain't gonna like this is like oh hot take hmk add it again like e3 really went downward spiral as soon as they opened the doors to the public right when that happened that led to a huge snowball effect of how developers treat the show on how the show itself falls apart with the sheer number of people that attend the show and then the amount of i would say not even negative press but like the amount of like things that can go wrong with the show which did which it did after they opened up to the public so like to give you a little clarification case and point before you guys try to crucify me on twitter or wherever is that you know with the show's opening up to the public now developers have to keep that in mind of the general public aside from that of you know just media because when media attendees that you had to like kind of like or like show your grit earn your right to get to e3 in order to have numbers and blah because it's a trade show by nature right so they always knew media was coming to the show so they catered to media they made sure it's like okay come check out our show we know if you play the game you're gonna talk about it you're gonna write about it you're gonna make videos on it blah blah blah you guys are here because you're here to do a job right e3 2017 when they opened up to the public everybody started rushing in and started playing the games because they want to play games because they're gamers and there's nothing wrong with getting excited for games that's coming out in like one two three years later next month whatever but now developers and publishers are like wow now fans are en masse coming to our show we need to you know tap into that power of uh whatever promotion right so they will start making cheap shirts and they'll start making cheap bags and the swag and all the swag in order to give away way worse and because of that they start focusing on swag and not the quality of how they appeared at e3 in terms of regulating their boots in or in terms of regulating the people that like you know not not the people but the amount of people that get to play their games because now there's so many people there not everyone is able to play the games not not just gamers not just media or anything like that it just becomes super like it becomes way over encumbered like the show itself so like while they're focusing on giving out these shirts are gonna fall apart in a week they're not looking at the the fact that you know the lines to play their game is like you know 40 people long when you know these games have like what 30 to an hour uh timers on their demo so that's another thing and then the all the the big icing on the cake is that with all the information the ground amount of information that needs to be logged in in order to have people register for media badges for consumer badges for all the other stuff that's a lot of information that could uh leak and it did oh wait oh wait oh wait oh wait and it and it did it did it got out yeah yeah i did actually so so like that like all that started happening because of e3 turning itself to the public and then now at before the pandemic e3 became this kind of like amalgamation of like trade show and convention it didn't know what it wanted to be but the fact is that it kind of relied on that new twisted metal concoctions decided to call e3 at that point and then when the pandemic happened when no one could travel no one could go to these things it kind of like imploded onto itself and then when you know regulations started lifting in war for people to allow to travel again then e3 had to kind of had to take a step back and be like okay can we still do that because people are going to still need to wear masks we're going to need to see uh people uh vaccine information we can't have the sheer amount of people who've had in 2017-18 what have you and with all of that they're like can we continue and then investors like can you continue and then you know they what year did they miss a show where they were supposed to go but then like oh now we're not doing it was 2021 or last year and it was like e3's just like been off the the map and then read pop had to get involved and now they're funding the show and there's other people who run packs and um super comic con and comic con and all that stuff and then they claim they're gonna make e3 a cohesive expo event well they at least seem organized with the two days for media two days from public i like that right you're you're separating it out to all right you want to wear all that swag stuff and appealing to fans that's what the last two days are for we're gonna give media the access they used to get at e3 where it's just them right so they could do their job because that was the hard thing to happen is if you couldn't get one of those coveted appointments with the developers you can actually get a private demo you couldn't do your job like i was a nintendo youtuber trying to get videos of every switch game there it just isn't gonna happen right like i'll get the ones at the nintendo booth but besides that you go to like i'm just i want to play dupe nope not gonna get to play doom on switches so it's not gonna happen you don't have appointment and then that that's good on paper but now if nintendo xbox and places ain't going then what's the point of like the separation like i'm not gonna go there to like you know yeah i might i might go in this year yeah unless it's less for some other reason that nintendo does decide to show up i done it well like because like the reports on this included nintendo though so apparently according to ign and video game chronicle nintendo and xbox were actually both an act of conversations to be at the c3 like they were actually originally planning to and then xbox for some reason i don't know if it's just because also by the way phil's mentors buddy buddy with jeff kealy there's summer game pass going on he also has a demo event going on so there's a conflicting event happening so maybe like he didn't really want to upset anyone so he's like we're just gonna do our own thing and everyone can come to us if they want to come to us or they could leave us alone because guess what i found out if you buy a ticket to summer game fest you can also go play that's what i that's what i've heard about the season you can also go play the demos at the mic so they're just playing nice with everyone so microsoft i think is just associated so they can just be like everyone can come to us we're not gonna pick sides so that's why i kind of think what xbox is doing nintendo supposedly uh just doesn't have a lot of big hitters and when you say big hitters guys they mean system sellers like a zelda level game coming in the second half of this year um and it wouldn't be the first time that they've had not had something like that how happened in the second half of the year they still go on e3 that was also old nintendo and that was back when it was impossible to think you wouldn't actually go to e3 um it is interesting that that doesn't be a true obviously her rumors a long time ago the tears of the kingdom would be the last major system seller that was a rumor a little bit ago and this seems to be maybe backing that up and we have a topic on this later but i just bring this all up because maybe you know if that is true and nintendo just didn't think it was worth spending the money to be there when they just don't have a lot of things to surprise people with and they don't want to be overshadowed by what microsoft got going on or you know maybe some other major studios got some stuff like who knows maybe bethesda buys a spot even though bethesda is with microsoft but they still get their own move there i have no idea what i do know is if that is true then i guess i could say e3 might not be dead per se at least for me as a nintendo fan because maybe like when if they launch a new harbour next year and all the stuff and they got a bunch of games they watched maybe they have that at e3 like they used to and then it maybe this is just one of those years where it's a tweener year for e3 like we're trying to come back but all the companies aren't necessarily ready for us to come back yet yeah there's still regulations in california with masks that make things difficult so like maybe it's kind of like this is more of an experimental year to get your crap together and then maybe nintendo will come back next year when they probably have a lot more that they want to get in front of people i think it has a lot to do with that that's assuming that ign is is correct obviously in the reporting yeah i do believe they have real sources on it whether or not it's you know legit i have no idea no all i want to add is i i kind of agree i i think that when you think about nintendo they're just you know their relationships with companies matters right like i i feel that you know there's a really good chance that because of what who is it now it's reed pop that's running the show yep right yeah like i think it probably has mostly to do with the the change over and not so much a lack of content um yeah i'm not saying i disagree all right i feel like you know i mean i don't expect a new pokemon this year and i don't expect a new maro this year if there's no switch to this year or so then what do we got probably smaller things like which will still be really gamecube remasters yeah you know what really bothers me about the report from ign state and like oh nintendo has like nothing to show off or no big heavy hitters for the rest of your aftertutes of the king you know what really bothers me because that kind of doesn't fit with the actual like report stating that nintendo for some weird reason is ramping up switch like production for this year and next year all right well they got a little more well the report was that they're ramping up to start this fiscal year but that already that's already logical that he had a zelda game coming out they're gonna be switches yeah but i mean like if it was if it's at the point where it's report worthy then i feel like it's going to be more than what they're anticipating with tears of the kingdom like there's no shortage of switches it didn't go through like you know the p what the ps5 did right so now what they have that was mad yeah so why would they have to like you know why would it have to be reported on is like hey guys check it out nintendo's like really upping maybe it didn't have to be reported on maybe that's problem maybe people just are desperate for news because january sucks and so they yeah oh my gosh they're increasing 500 000 extra switches for the first quarter of the new of the next year oh my gosh guys they're increasing production they're projecting to sell 30 millions with like one nintendo hasn't given us their projections for next year two the last we heard from nintendo about it was they thought if they made more switches they didn't think they could sell them anyways that's the last time we heard them talk about it and two if they're just making like 500 000 more switches well they're probably the special edition zelda olads and they're going to launch alongside tears of the kingdom and they just project to sell you know an extra couple million switches in the first quarter like it makes sense because that's a system seller right i have thoughts i mean so there's something i like to say when it comes to like different reports and i'm not like saying that any of the reports are false but i feel this happens a lot that when it comes to reports there is either conflation or misinterpretation of information right because the information may be valid but their interpretation of that and how they write it out to people that could lead to misleading things so like i didn't i haven't actually read the whole article myself but i'm just kind of suggesting like you know there there's a lot of those different things happen right i mean also this idea that there isn't like any big hitters after Tuesday kingdom we've been hearing about this for weeks from different people like andy robison christopher drink a lot of people were even saying this so it really just kind of feels like they're kind of piggybacking off of that um so i'm not you know convinced that this is like a big deal and i really think it has more to do with just the changing of companies and that's what it is because i mean to your to your point it's okay right like if the title's increasing production they're not going to just stop making content for the second half of the year and also switch is still selling really well the attach rates like the actual games are selling incredibly well even if there's a new system next year which i think most of us kind of think we're close to that right so like they're not going to stop they're not going to have like a period of time where there's nothing they're going to have the switch coexist alongside the new system for a few years which means they're still going to be releasing games they're still going to be coming out with special editions they may even be like a switch OLED light at some point like just the same way how there was a new type of 3ds that came out during the switch era the same thing's probably going to happen during the switch you are there's going to be a new type of smaller switch that's cheaper and then tells consumers to push this they're going to continue to push this system so i don't really think that the second half of this year is going to be like really bad where it's not going to be any good games it may not be you know another 10 million seller right but if we have a few quality remasters we all of all the dlc maybe there's a 2d mario we have pick been for maybe there's a donkey kong that's still probably gonna be a pretty fun year yeah yeah you know it to me that's that that's one of those things um i i think so some people get mad like i seen player essence and other people out there talking like oh this report's stupid we're going to get this going to but because because a lot of it's subjective right the people so the people gonna think pick been for is a big deal right there's gonna be people that will think if f0 gets a remaster that that's a really really big deal or a new Kirby game you know off the back of Kirby in the forgotten land we get like another Kirby game because we only get Kirby every year like that's going to be in a bigger deal now or something and i understand a lot of the perspectives i think from the the general media side of things they're just looking at this is a game that guarantees to sell millions of switches when it comes out and none of the games that you know that we're hearing about respectfully about they're not on the levels of pokemon zelda mario animal crossing um splatoon etc like the games we think of that that sell 10 million plus units every time and because of that they sell millions of switches every time um so i think a lot of it is looking at it as not that there won't be games i haven't heard anybody say there won't be games it just isn't going to be games to the level of zelda mario and all that stuff and that might be true we might end up having a really great year and they might have a jam we might have eight exclusive games dropping in the second half of this year but none of like like the new like 3d mario right people speculate about new 3d mario well i mean if the other report about them negotiating to get new hardware made for next year is true well then why wouldn't that be a launch game it makes total sense to be a launch game and i can have zelda there than mario yeah like you're gonna have one of the two and zelda's coming now so mario would would probably be coming then i mean you could argue you could try to launch for the mario kart but i kind of feel like mario kart makes more sense to do what they did with eight deluxe drop it a couple months in like get the initial core like hardcore like nintendo fan in with something then then you drop the kart then you drop your next i don't know whatever whatever your next game after that's going to be maybe they maybe it's that other fire emblem game that's missing between the numbers that's smash ultimate deluxe smash ultimate deluxe you know it could be some of that put all the dlc together in the package uh so i look there's a ton of games that could be coming because they're obviously their studios have been working on games and we haven't had a ton of internally developed games come out in the last couple of years could argue it's part of the pandemic it also just say hey uh things maybe got delayed and now they're like hey we have a new system coming and we want to repeat 2017 with the new system and have a whole bunch of stuff so i kind of look at it as i don't know that nintendo is done with e3 in general one thing to remember just like phil spencer mentioned that he's on the board at the esa so is dug bowser dug bowser is also on the board at the esa so i would say it's safe to say that you can't say the companies are done with e3 but e3 might have to have some proving to do especially with new demo competition coming from jeff kealy kind of proving that read pop can solve the e3 problem everything we've heard so far sounds good in theory but we don't actually know how it's going to be executed how the show floor is going to be executed i'm not going to e3 so i'm just going to hear second hand stories on how it all in um maybe it ends up being widely received really well and that that makes maybe even makes playstation come back next year who knows uh but for now uh i think if this year doesn't go well uh for the companies that are there so i think like uh activision will probably be there uh ea ubi soft i think we'll see some of the big third parties we'll see a bunch of indie studios ea doing their own thing still or no i have no idea maybe ea is still doing their own thing beats me uh or maybe they got convinced by repop i have no idea but because repop brought all the statement on this right and they basically said hey yeah we can't comment on like those exact specific situations basically means yeah they're not going to be there we just for legal reasons probably can't confirm um but uh they didn't say but we do have a whole bunch of other companies and it's like yeah i believe that you do like you're gonna have indie studios interested you're gonna have uh some b-tier studios and you probably have some you know at least one or two big triple a studios and those will be your featured studios i think if they organize the event well and it goes well and the reception is really good from those that attend to both media and otherwise even if media because you already know the stories coming from the media on the media days they're going to be like it just doesn't feel right without nintendo sonia microsoft you're gonna hear those stories but the but this appears with repop they're trying to do a different type of e3 and if they do it right and it's received well i think that it might not be the end of e3 and we'll see it come back next year stronger and one of the big three will be back if not two of the big three um and go for there but on the opposite end if it doesn't go well it might be cord cutting time like and i think a lot of people see it that way mandy what are you thinking for e3 i think it's it's uh been dwindling in popularity um like to be honest i've always wanted to go one since like guys you know first started watching them but now like thank you i'm just like yeah i just think like having directs or whatever playstation or xbox does it's just the way to go at this point though yeah okay cool mic you've been kind of quiet on this i know uh i'm maybe maybe maybe you're disappointed because we we're all gonna be and now like i'm not going to listen to this i'm not disappointed because i feel like it's not over it's not over all right i feel i feel first thing um nothing's confirmed until it's confirmed right and um i feel comes in with the last moment i gm i don't i know that there's a you know i mean there's a 99.9 percent chance they're not going to be there in person but who's to say that at the last minute they don't give us uh uh you know a direct a direct with the e3 team you know and just basically what they do you know and then they're part of you got any good demos but we'll tease games for next year yeah not not as in depth as they wanted me but they you know what let's say let's let's just give them a direct you know and we'll include the e3 there so that they say we're here for the for the company next year we'll be we'll be bigger there because we'll have the next gen console winner no bunch of the game announced but this year we'll be there digitally you know so who's just to confirm the report right now is just about them being on the show floor yeah there's been no reports about the actual like press conference side of things yeah so that's why i say that that's why i say that you know it's not that nintendo might not be there they might be there you know uh there's not just not physically um i think to counter what people are seeing about nintendo having a second or a week year when it comes to game releases i think it's gonna be a great year i think it would be a fantastic year for game for gamers everywhere whether we get ports people are waiting for ports we get i mean cheers to the kingdom already has made this the best year in the in the history of forever are we gonna we wear tears of the kingdom i what are we gonna we you port did that just come out of your mouth yes that's the joke yeah they're going they're going back to support the 13 million council that i have been looking at the chat thank you guys for loving ruby i think i just before kind of sneezing i got no wonder this guy has his cat out coming through the microphone to the dude we've invented the the sense things right like you could smell it now but yeah i feel like we're gonna have as as good of a year as we had a 22 year when it comes to nintendo games i think this nintendo direct i think this nintendo direct coming up now in february really kind of sets the pace and and determines on how big of a year we'll have when it comes to you know game releases you know it doesn't have to all be we're waiting at oh audio people you missed a good one there yeah in response to those people who say uh this will be a light year when it comes to nintendo games i think it'll be well first thing there's a lot relying on the on this nintendo direct because we already have kind of almost half of the year announced we have um you know cheers of the kingdom we have uh in an origin pigment pigment for pigment for before is it for good for it is picking for yes for i'm not a pigment fan so picking for uh i mean so we have we have five or three our emblem five we have five or six games you know i travel to all we need one year remaster first party games i'm gonna refer to um so at least we have four to five five games already within the calendar year for nintendo all we need is five more games for the calendar year of nintendo and i do feel like these games will make people happy as i think we're i think we're going to have a pretty good year i think it's just too early to tell and i think there's a lot weighing on this nintendo direct in order for us to determine what kind of a year we're going to have well this is kind of a nice transition into what the second topic was the seven topic was obviously related to the first because it's about this whole report because i feel like the report on the second half of the year is different than the e3 stuff because e3 being dead i it's kind of a wait and see a lot of people think it's already dead a lot of people think it's been dead for a long time it's definitely on my support yeah it it's to me the esa is just moronic i mean like hmk said i mean it did kind of start going downhill when they with the public i mean and then that's not a shot against the public it's how they organized it you and i first said it when we're there why is the public here with the media have a couple days where media is just by themselves and the public's here just by themselves media could enter early yeah but not play anything yeah they couldn't play anything i mean the essay is just dumb they handled it poorly and you know i i really think that i'm opening up to the public was a good idea what you mean you mean day one in 2019 when instead of us waiting under the temp by all the food stands they made us wait downstairs right around the street and around the block yes and then they're the head of security finally came out was like uh yeah are you guys stupid why aren't you letting them in yeah so i i'm so glad i didn't go 2019 yeah you know the tent right we're talking about that yeah yeah yeah but they wouldn't like the that year the security we kept everyone kept telling them what do you mean see that tent up there that's for us yeah see the food stands that's right no no no no no one's alive and then well that's just the one door though i mean everyone's everyone's good man everyone's favorite security guy finally showed up like five minutes for the door open he's like where is everybody he walks down the steps and he's like what do you got you made them wait out in the sun for how many out what are you doing you're gonna kill people wow but i think the tent i think e3 is not dead i think e3 was in a coma right now you know in the coma and right now they brought in new doctors to kind of oh no no no yo you thought e3 is in their chrysalis and is going to come out like a big beautiful butterfly no no no no no man is going to come out like a wasp bro they they are listen listen they are a live support they are a live support they are a live support but they brought in new doctors to see if they could try to revive it but i think it's probably brain dead at the moment you know so they a lot of shock therapy we're going old school we're trying to we're trying to fix a problem that we proved doesn't get fixed with shock there what i've done yet but e3 is something we get i don't think we get it like in june or anything i think i just mean like maybe like in beginning of next year we get the switch to presentation because remember we had this presentation it was a live conference yeah it did it was switch already right but what if we get it you know we we get that in the beginning of the year right because we don't normally get that kind of thing every year but what if we get that sure but i kind of look i kind of look at it as like because old school e3 yeah every new system was unveiled there but like that hasn't been true in a long time like xbox series x was was unveiled at the game awards right um you know we knew about playstation five they did their own events which did its own event so e3 is probably never going to be that again so like to say that oh exactly replaced by an event like that well that that doesn't matter it's it's so to put in perspective the way that i view e3 okay yes gamer christmas i get that a whole bunch of game announcements in the same week i understand that that's it's really exciting to know the big three and all of the big third party companies are going to do a bunch of game reveals over a four or five day span that does sound amazing that's great you could take time off for it it's really cool it's getting that back for some people and then for people like me that care more about going hands on with the stuff and reporting on it and creating content around it not just sitting back in my chair reporting on the same news 50 000 other people are because that's all we can do is the hands on and playing the demos and giving the impressions and for me i worry about having an event that still does that on a severely large scale with all the companies supporting it and i don't know that we'll ever get truly back to that at e3 or even like i honestly think jeff kealy is trying to replace e3 slowly notice those summer game fest is getting a little bit bigger every year and now this year that's not a secret though that's like given but i don't know if it's working it's working yeah i don't know if you'll get there though that that's kind of the thing is will he get he's got having demos this year but only on a really small scale privately for certain media members okay so what's the next step is he is he gonna rent a convention center is he going to you know like what what is it going to keep growing obviously for jeff kealy he can't just go all in like a esa cook he doesn't have well if he gets in 10 or sony on board he's not the richest kind of the world so he's not going to just be able to go all out right away but he's obviously building up to it so i think if e3 ever gets replaced entirely and there's any hope to have that demo aspect it would be then and for some reason most of the game industry likes jeff kealy which is i don't know any game company that's mad at him for any reason like i know some gaming fans don't like him but we had this conversation on a live stream earlier this week uh i think with joey cj who came on like it was one of those you know no one can accuse jeff kealy of not caring about games you might not like his presentation style you might not like the way that he runs his events but dad does that guy care about this industry there's nobody else trying to do it there's nobody else it's insane so yes yeah you don't have to like him but he does care and like he cares enough that he's even on twitter doing those little twitter conversations and bringing youtube content creators in to ask him hard questions rgt went at him over the game boards but like he was all willing to listen and talk about it and rgt's opinion of him actually changed because jeff didn't run from the hard questions yeah um because he actually cares about this stuff it's i don't know that he's ever the right person but i don't know who else is because no one else is even trying i agree because there's a big difference there was a big difference between the prior gaming show and this this uh well i think every year it's gotten better like it's like the game has gotten better his game awards i think gets better yeah and there was a huge difference a huge difference we cut it short because that that was a feedback you we see there was way too long um i think it was a little more it was a little more entertaining um i mean we got we got we got bill clinton in there so oh yeah i mean the rabbi the rabbi form rabbi bill clinton yeah yeah that's that's a security issue mad security issue that was a bad like let me tell you jeff keeler you're not gonna be able to replace e3 when you're having that happen at your private shows yeah so let's you're gonna have the button up that i'm for somebody with that kind of a passion replacing e3 and trying to bring something to life that's gonna it's gonna make the industry just you know better because if e3 can't pull it off then somebody's gonna step up and do it you know what i mean because it is something that we do we desperately need we need we need that interaction that type of convention for the media somewhere somewhere to go and interact for the victory to just to be there and and have that interaction and that experience you know it's important for the for us as content creators and and um you know the news outlet the media outlet uh the nintendo playstation and xbox it's important for them too so you know i'm up for it if it's if it's jeff keely to do it if it's somebody else as long as somebody does it somebody does it right for the fans and for the industry i'm out for it i'm i'll say this without without summer game fest i wouldn't know about the plucky squire oh yeah chuchu charles or chuchu charles i know it's a really true charles really short game but but uh it's like a four hour game which is like people like getting mad about it's like dude it's maybe one person yeah right it was a meme and he turned it into a playable game yeah and it's one person like and it's the first game you know so yeah maybe not bash it that much it's not like it's a big developer um i just had a very selfish thought go for it of course you do some people may relate to the very selfish thought so um but you know i'm kind of even though i never expected it to happen right so like you know just keep that in mind but i'm kind of happy the only chronicle street didn't win game of the year because ha had it had it one game of the year would have been marred by that kid coming up on stage so it was another game that happened yeah or would have a or would have a nintendo developer turned around and decked him yeah yeah yeah don't boss was like yo don't boss would be like who yeah because it would have been probably dug bowser by himself going up there and he would have turned and looked at this kid and said who are you yeah right exactly got on stage yeah the kid got away with it because it was such a big group of people exactly yeah yeah and none of them were like native english speakers yeah they're probably i don't i don't think he would have got away with it if it was nintendo going up the one guy that you could see in that clip that was all like yo who is this kid was the translator yeah like yeah he was pointing at the kids like yo what's going on who's that right right right so i don't think that would have happened if uh yeah it would have been would have been a nice moment of dug bowser would have you know done so what about what about imagine reggie runs on stage i want to come back to nintendo and just tackles the hell i would have ate him what do you mean like well here's the thing like if the president of nintendo america is going up there and he turns around and looks at this person security would attack on them oh yeah oh yeah because like that's that's one of the president of the nintendo they're not gonna let that kid touch him so yeah um but i have to add something and what do you have to give read pop one thing that they have already made better from e3 of past they don't have a website that was designed year one of e3 so i mean that's part of the reason why no all that uh documentation is a pre-built ticket website that has broken html instead yeah well i don't really feel any more confident no completely honest no all right no i'm sorry when i submit my media application which is irrelevant now i don't care um well here's the guys i'm gonna get my media passes that i don't want anymore and whatever um maybe i can send someone in my stead maybe maybe someone could rep me out there right i'll send paul gale you can go rep me um but no it's a situation where i when i filled out the media passport this year this is before the announcement you need submit it there's broken html that appears on the submit page and i'm like well this doesn't still confidence we can't get basic html tag yeah i mean there's that so i'm like granted i they're using a pre-built site and it's probably one they've used before but i was like come on like this i'm applying as media and for the first time through your new website it's it's still i don't know that that old website was god awful though he was and i will say it's easier to submit to this website but you know why it's easier it's just a basic html form that existed in the 90s it doesn't look any better it's literally just a bunch of text boxes with questions that i that i've made on geosities like it's still very basic and that's fine like it's just like a lack of professionalism to it and i think for read pop it's mostly just because it's the first time run of the show and they don't want to run like the other show so they didn't want to use the same ticket people plus there's been like issues with ticket master and other places at some of these events so like yeah they probably didn't want to go with one of the big name the one of the big name places because there's been controversy so i don't know um maybe everything's gonna be fine obviously all that matters is security i will say this repop wasn't asked for driver's license and addresses and yeah um so like there's not really any personal information except my email that could get out my email is already public so uh it's not it's not that big of a deal if any of my stuff got out from that form so i'll give them this they're not asking for my entire life to attend the event uh but i look i think the big stuff for read pop is that they've had success at all these other events so i always i already thought when they hired read pop it was it was the right move but is it you know one of those too little too late situations we don't know i guess you know this year is probably going to be a lighter year for it but if what they do have is good and presentable and runs well and the reception of it's really good then i think that bodes well for the future if the reception is it still sucks well then it might be pretty good yeah that might be the end the final the following nail in the coffin will be when nintendo announces their partnership with summer games fest oh no i mean if nintendo does that or even like xbox and nintendo or or if no no the big thing is if summer game fest gets playstation to commit i mean these three hasn't gotten able to give them since 2019 and jeff kealy got them like that that would be and i mean when i say commit guys i don't mean like just part of the summer game fest opening show that does you know show like one sony game during the show no i mean like it gets them to want to brand a playstation showcase around summer game fest um like xbox did the one year that being said um going into that whole stuff about nintendo not having things in second half of the year it's a sort of our second topic we've been touching on it throughout because it's kind of tied to the first news um i mean there's going to be games subjectively there's going to be games that all of us are going to want to play and we'll be happy with maybe be certain remasters maybe uh you know nintendo's b tier games coming out you know you hate saying that like oh pigment b tier well pigment three deluxe the best selling pick i understand okay i get it i hate calling something like that b tier but there's a big difference between a mario game selling 25 million copies and a pigment game selling four million copies they're just not in the same tier for sales potential um and i think that's what these companies are talking about or what the media is talking about i still think we're going to have a really solid lineup i think switch is going to sell just fine this year i you know i don't think it's going to sell uh you know the new year 20 million it did in this last fiscal year or it's about to finish in this fiscal year ends in march but i do think it's going to it's still going to sell over 15 million and i think nintendo's going to be pretty happy with that and you're having 15 million sales of a system in year seven is huge and i do think new hardware is coming next year so i think pretty much all of this is just that there's new hardware coming and nintendo's trying to figure out how to transition without screwing up like they've done in the past but also this is something that dawned on me over the last week if this is true that they don't have like any big system sellers the rest of this year it's because they're trying to repeat 2017 nintendo's lesson from switch was hey we need to have like eight massive selling games in the first year of our new platform and they need to be exclusive yeah so i kind of sort of think maybe nintendo's taking that lesson and they're just trying to figure out how they can float until they have that lineup ready because i think the reason we're not getting to hardware now is because the full lineup for a year isn't ready for that new system so they'll launch it in 2024 and at some point i don't know when it could be early it could be middle it could be end of the holiday but then for the next 12 months they're going to have a bunch of really big hitting like every other month there's going to be a huge game everyone's going to want to play i'm going to want to buy the new hardware for and i think that and i think they're just trying to figure out how to navigate not abandoning switch entirely yet still keep saving all their big games i think they could do it just you know i think they've learned your lesson from the wii you and you mean nine months between game releases wasn't cool well it's more like the wii you was a flop because i didn't even know there's a lot of reasons that we because i went to the store i'm like what the heck is this accessory that's a new console i was like wait what man i was following the wii you like a hawk the whole time like it's a new console you guys it's not a tablet you know it's funny i went to walmart for midnight release because i didn't have a pre-order of it i'm like oh i'll just you know because they weren't doing pre-orders at walmart so i'll just be first in line i show up at like 8 p.m. thing and all i probably won't be first in line at 8 p.m. it's just i'm done with work this is when i could be here i go in there i'm the i'm in the electronics says so where do i stand for your midnight launch of wii you and they're like wii what no what i was talking about and i was the only person i'd ask and then they're like i guess well you're the only one so i guess you could just stand like literally right here next to the register on this one line i'll put a piece of tape on the floor i'm like okay and people kept coming back while i try on the section for the next four what are you doing oh nintendo's new system launches today wait what yeah successor to the wii it's called we what what is that as i'm advertising what this then people are like oh i better get in line oh i better get in line so the line was only for me because i was telling people what it was nobody actually knew what the damn thing was on launch day and i'm like it was at that moment i knew this game the system was gonna be a flop i'm like this is gonna flop so bad the fact that i'm at a very popular walmart and nobody not even the employees knew what this damn thing was and then when they looked it up they realized oh yeah we only have three of them i'm like oh my god this is who this is not this no this thing's a flop man i remember back in the day i had to fight tooth and nail not literally for a week right and then like going through all that and i'm like do we use like no one's talking about this i really walked into our store grabbed one left i'm like that was easy yeah here's the thing if i didn't show up to get it at midnight i guarantee all three of those we use would have still been there in the morning yep because nobody knew what the damn thing was it's crazy what i mean they just didn't have any good games like i mean i'd say the games there weren't were bad but they didn't have any killer i just didn't think they advertised it well like people were like confused on why should i buy this it was a dumb name it was done marketing the box the box having what looks like a we in the background and then a tablet in front when there were literally tablet accessories for we that looked exactly like the we you tablet didn't help in the system looked like just like a rounder we as well yeah it's oh it's just but i think they would have called it we hd people would have understood it a little better but then they would also thought they're games playing hd off the we which which they didn't so but whatever man i love the we clickbait marketing you know all about that we're content creators yeah um wait what wait well we don't wait there's no such thing we clickbait literally we are literally trying to get people to click our videos that's the definition though there's a there's a difference there's a nuance to it don't start this argument i'm gonna leave listen exactly you know i'm with f2k here i'm with f2k everyone's gonna team up on me it's all right there's a difference there's a difference what we do it's like yeah it's called it's called a hook it's a thematic element in writing that allows people to keep reading your exactly you're not gonna tell the entire video all right um so anyone else got like thoughts on just nintendo potentially having like a light second half and what that means or do we just think all right so they all have a great second half this the the next set of the sweet or the nintendo console will be announced this year and we're gonna have a fantastic year nintendo's gonna have the best year ever i'm gonna tell y'all right now wait i keep forgetting wait peaches 13 are what can i what can i say what can i not say um um you know what we're far enough in now i think we can get away with almost i don't i don't i don't give a flying fuck about the rest of the year for nintendo i'm getting tears in the kingdom that's the rest of my year that's it yeah i mean like that's it literally i can get nothing else but zelda this year it'll only matter it's still fun to play breath of the wild i mean you know that game's almost six years old i came hard carried the switch for like the first year it was just breath of the wild the year basically so like he was a great year but oh yeah 2017 was a great year like even with breath of the wild this is arguably the best year ever oh yeah two arms xeno blade to mario kart eight deluxe oh wait yeah ultra mario odyssey to mario odyssey yeah mario and 3d and 3d zelda and mario in the same year it had never happened before and there you go and i'll never happen again probably never ever ever happen again deluxe as well right and then there was a fireman warriors like it was just there were just games so it's not gonna be a good year it's not gonna be as good as 2017 but it's gonna be a good year mario plus rabbits don't forget see we're see there's so many games and there's no there you go they they saw what they do at the wheel is that way we cannot do that again skyrim on the kind of skyrim on nintendo like that was a big deal yeah that was a big deal back then yeah you're about to make me look at the 2017 boom do i came up with the next year though right uh was it 2017 i think it was 2017 regardless the lineup was just insane i think it was a e3 announcement but you know i did want to speak on um like the second half lineup made in like 2016 my favorite games that have come out throughout the swish generation i mean through the last couple years have been games that wouldn't be the major sellers right like yes i like pokemon skyrim by like yes i like swatoon 3 yeah but i was november trample 2017 by the way i prefer zumbi chronicles 3 i prefer metro a dread like those games aren't considered big sellers but they from a quality perspective i would say are better than for sure pokemon swatoon 3 is a really good game i'm not gonna say it isn't but metro a dread and zeno better more my cup of tea the point is like we get a lot of games like that in the second half of the year and for like a lot of us here watching live stream they're more of like the core nintendo fan base we may think this year might be the best year ever once everything is said and done the numbers may not say that right because every game that they may put out may only sell like three to four million or something there won't be like a 20 plus million pokemon game but it's still gonna be a fun year i think it is i mean even if you like farming games guess what nintendo will give you the best farming game ever or third party that direct was so we're gonna harvest all already we already got the best yeah yeah harvest all is actually pretty good i don't know if you guys played it this is if this is nintendo's uh the switch switches swan song year i think we're gonna have a pretty good here it might not be the best but i think it's gonna be a pretty good year it's better than rest of the wildest i don't i don't i don't mean i don't mean that nintendo is going forever because i don't let nintendo you know probably now it's the next console and then have the switch alongside it for a couple years but if it's the the last year of the switch being the current and gen console i don't think it's gonna be that bad i think i think maybe we'll get a whole bunch of remakes in ports but i think we'll have a fun year i'm gonna be exciting ones what if nintendo is just like you know what screw it we're gonna have uh tears of the kingdom come out and then we're still gonna drop one waker in front of the prince hd later this year yeah i mean it can screw it i'll laugh that would be nice i can see early next year i well i kind of think i kind of think maybe at this point they figure they already put him in hd so they might just save him for the new system where they can be hey now they're in 4k or something 4k 60 or no 60 60 fps would be nice i will say 60 fps is nice by the way hd by the way here's the kingdom 60 fps on switch two with uh with like a with the dlc expansion oh okay dlc you got an extra horse yep like 20 60 fps is fine that's all i need i don't need 4k well it's gonna be upscaled it's okay it's not actually it'll be like native 1080 but it'll just be upscaled yeah no we're not ps5 doesn't even do a true 4k they use it they use upscaling techniques zonai magic run steven you good zonai magic all right i want to go they injected the zonai into the next system listen i want to go on record and i'm not sure if they want to transition with this but i want to go on record on record and i was saying saying because i already said this on the on the video today that the nintendo direct will not be next week it'll be on the 15th it's gonna be on February 8th we're getting the nintendo directs the next topic yeah that's what i'm saying that's tradition um the nintendo direct just make this like the first the first person talking about it anyway um oh so you're transitioning that's what you mean yeah yeah yeah so um you were saying tradition i was like tradition tradition you're you're you're you're saying that nintendo's gonna have to direct the day after baby making day baby making day yeah yeah a lot of people a lot of people we may have a whole bunch of the right babies you know what i mean you don't need to be awake look look look after i'm completely worn out on the 14th i need the 15th to lift me back up exactly exactly listen listen listen so you know following the pattern i think nintendo's gonna go ahead and and continue that pattern there's no reason why they're gonna break it there's really no special reason why they will say oh let's do it one week earlier when they've been following the same exact pattern and we have we have a curvy three deluxe deluxe they're gonna announce it right the week before so that they can kind of push that game and you know get that game to sell a little more and if it doesn't happen on the 15th and it happens on the 7th i will i will dress up like donkey kong for a week i honestly feel it's gonna be like the 7th or 8th it's just gonna be that week and i think it's gonna be next week and we're not gonna know because nintendo always announces these things it's like the the day before right and like listen they they had them in the tele-direct right and they show off all their stuff and then they'll have a great conversation to have with your loved ones over a candlelight dinner the week afterwards they're in valentine's day it's like it's like a perfect strategy so for those of you who don't know the pattern for those of you who don't know the pattern it's wednesday's pattern i'm about to bring them stealth tweets in the past three to four years in the past three to four years on every every direct for february has been on a wednesday that's the first one right every direct for first for uh september has been on a tuesday tuesday or thursday well anyway i think it's a thursday uh thursday a thursday uh but on in the month in the month where they had a first party game february then the direct has been before that week before on on a month where they had no game releases it would have been like on the 6th on the 7th that that week but this year the pattern states that there is a direct because there's a the week before because there's kirby's dreamlike deluxe so that has never ever changed that's the pattern from the past three to four years so the direct is going to be on the 15 with the announcement on twitter on that monday which is the 13th and then again vk mic we're not you know i always wonder what people give these why do people give these these things where the athletic direction would be announced two days early it's always announced the day before they give us the pattern says the pattern says the pattern the pattern yeah the pattern the pattern is that nintendo directs are announced the day before game directs are announced no wait the pattern says that on february direct announced two days before and on in the september directs are announced the day before okay so during their investors meeting they're just gonna say hey by the way today is from now we're having a direct the pattern well they're not gonna yeah the investors means on the 7th they're gonna be like all right yo the investors be like yo where the games where the stuff where the info your tears of the kingdom am i gonna see my money back and then they're like okay the direct is happening tomorrow right it's just calm else no they're gonna have they're all gonna have hang on with after that they won't be on the direct what came out last february in uh in the in the direct no like what came out from the game that released my first party game yeah try to remember like my brain just so legends are just came out january right yeah yeah yeah so maybe they skip february no it was last year man time is an illusion curbie came out march maybe maybe it was a triangle strategy no so last year it was it was earthbound what earthbound uh and there was there was no part no first party games in about 2020 your pattern is already debunked the last february direct was announced the day before the direct by the way what was that yeah the last february direct was announced the one day before they gave us 24 hours notice what are you talking about the february one yeah the february one it was 24 last february the first full week of the of the month but it wasn't but it wasn't but it wasn't but it wasn't the second full week but was it that they it was their game uh first party last february it doesn't look like it was legends arceus then it they opened the month the triangle strategy in march all right so and then at the end of the month and then that direct was like the second week right that was first full week it was the first full week it was actually like a ninth or something like that was a ninth exactly so my my my theory is not debunked yet there was no i would say i would say the two day the two day announcement oh yeah i care about that well that's why i asked you about the game thing right because last february there wasn't a game that it came out in the first full week right but the other two februaries um which would be what yeah there were there were games 19 so 2021 what was it was a three world plus bowser's fury 2020 2021 2021 2021 yeah that was february that was bowser's fury that release so they announced that the the direct was the week before that bowser's fury i'm just double checking the release date for bowser's fury it was february 12 february 12 yeah and the direct was after it was the direct afterwards yeah it was actually the week after the third week right uh february 17 so you couldn't really yeah i'm still there still there but that's not a week before that's a week after though like that's the week after so they're like saying kirby's coming out so it should be the week after kirby third week i think it's just it's gonna come out i think the patterns are irrelevant i don't think they actually exist over there the pattern is we're getting a direct this month well i mean you can't say that because you made a video right after mine give me all the credit and all the props yeah but i didn't i didn't actually yeah yeah i'm gonna be honest i just i just figured you did the research that's what i get for trusting mike anyway i'm just kidding that's that's bad but again 15 the 15th it's not gonna be i think 15th is possible i'm going with the eighth the eighth is also i've said the 15th i'll stick with the 15th but you know jeff grubbin right a lot on these weeks the direct is coming because he knows third party companies that are participating it's gonna happen on a sunday notice so jeff grubbin give us a day he just said to be like in this like later in the week of course he did it wednesday or thursday well let's let's let's let's at least agree on this it's gonna be in february people have been saying it's gonna be on the 7th it is not going to happen on the 7th no it's not happening or the 8th the 8th the 8th my hmk agrees with me the 8th the 8th the 8th it's not gonna happen a week from now okay all right all right all right enough debate over the day that we don't know i just want to point something out though i'm a 28th i want to point something out that i've been talking about in my videos a lot of people are talking about a lot of people have been talking about how the direct needs to happen before the investors meeting that is not true they literally go back to last year it happened after the investor meeting so they do it after all the time after yes but maybe the next the week after or just a few days afterwards how can it be the next day that the other following day it's happened it's happened it actually anyways yeah that's the point right here it's not gonna happen the topic is intimating what day the direct is something i just hope they announce it and they give us enough time you imagine you imagine you imagine that this was the topic guys let's guess the the day of the direct apparently we can debate about this for an hour i didn't know they do it in march can you imagine it's gonna be in april and then a shadow i guess i guess that the topic is the general direct predictions and mike wanted to start it off with date prediction yeah right so when mike's wrong and has to wear his donkey kong stuff but here's the thing it's not that just a dog no if it's on the seven only the seven only okay it's not gonna probably be on the seven so i'm not too worried about that but me me and mike do oh dressing up as pete for an entire episode losing to eric and the bedding special so i was gonna say we haven't done that yet if mike had dressed up as donkey what's he gonna do a half donkey kong half peach for one episode of peach for the episode yeah yeah that's only if you were doing peach that week yeah i i actually already separated the donkey kong costume just in case i lost but it's definitely not gonna happen but i added to the car i didn't buy it yeah just add it to the car there you go mike that's great it just announced and he's like oh crap well guys it'll be next week because that's when the costume arrives i mean don't get me wrong i want it to be tomorrow because i'm excited for this direct for sure i think it's gonna be that i think this might be the biggest direct that we have this year it's like one of my yeah i think it'll be bigger than whatever they do in september unless they ann else do hard road with it which i've they've never done that in a direct so i'm not worried about it so i i think this will be bigger than the september one and i don't know if we'll have a summer one or it might be a smaller or might be partner showcase or indie worlds and stuff so i think this is gonna be the biggest director of the year obviously i'm biased because of zelda right like just the fact that i know zelda is gonna be in it it like zelda's not in it they'll announce that that's because zelda's having they'll announce in this direct a dedicated zelda direct and that's why zelda wouldn't be in it but they would announce it in this direct but it would still be in the it would still suck but technically the mention would be there i would know i would leave i would leave i'd like no no there's no way there's no trailer there'd have to still be a trailer okay trailer trailer trailer trailer yeah be a trailer that announces a zelda direct for like the next week or something i hope i really hope they don't do what they're doing with the mario movie because literally i downloaded every single trailer and i'm putting together the movie the entire movie i have like half an hour of footage just because they they've been trailers back and forth everywhere unlike a movie tears of the kingdom is going to have hundreds and hundreds of hours of gameplay yeah i know but i don't know they don't matter how much they show it's still only going to be like two percent of the game i'm most yeah hopefully i'm not worried unless they show all the cutscenes like but they've never done that so i'm not worried yeah like they showed a hell of a lot for breath of the wild and then it turns out they really didn't show much they really did it felt like they did and then you play the game and you're like oh no they'd not show this at all haven't tied island that was a shocker they definitely didn't tell us about that one um so they kept they kept a lot like the games are so huge i'm not worried about the tears of the game dude there were dragons the game had dragons you didn't even know there were dragons oh you know what told me about the dragons in the event island hmm the press release that i had to read before the game came out nintendo dropped this big ass document when they sent me breath of the wild and i'm like yeah make sure you don't talk about the dragon awesome yeah don't talk about these damn ndas those damn ndas they spoil a bunch of the game before you play it because they're telling you what you can't talk about yeah of course you have to read it because you have to know so you don't overreact and post something on social media what can you but can you play it and then read the press release well as long as you are really i want to make content yeah you want to know what you're making content like you want to know okay is it up to a certain point is like it's good to know how if you're willing to play the game and you're going to play the whole game without ever talking about it and you're just going to record everything and then go back and make content sure but a game like breath of the wild is so huge that's not going to happen you're going to be making content as you go really ferocious right out there next in the in the lake next to the great plateau you fight your first yiga member after you leave the sheikah's trial man i'm like what's a yiga clown what what is that yeah right right tell me all these things in the end yeah yeah i have it somewhere it's like it's over there i have the the paper still i'm like bro this is a wild time should frame it just goes yeah you know what was funny when they uh when i got the review copy for ocarina time 3d and they sent like the ocarina on the shirt with it and then in the nda it said like i couldn't talk about anything past the first two dungeons and i was like bro this game came out a million years old like this game was in 98 what are we talking everyone already knows everyone what are we talking everyone knows i'm not gonna how am i spoiling the game don't spoil jabu jabu it's a new audience so you know there's a new audience but a new audience of what like it's like telling me i can't talk about it from 98 then but there's nothing really different now imagine getting a remaster of file 5 to 7 in the lag yo don't talk about who dies towards the end i'm like the things that were different in ocarina time 3d we were allowed to talk about we couldn't talk about you know past the second dungeon i'm like what i'm just whatever it's fine don't reveal the the location yeah no don't reveal the location you have to acquire the ocarina time you say who sheikah's and we are banning you forever from nintendo what i don't know i could i could imagine reading that it's like google do not type sheikah in the google you're spoiled i'm sorry i could imagine that it's like don't reveal sheik's true identity i'm like really like i know i thought it was ridiculous it's one of the most ridiculous nda's i've ever gotten for nintendo i'm like guys this is a you guys know that this game already exists right that i'm playing it right now on an n64 there's somebody streaming it on twitch right you know this right like this what are we saying nobody's gonna know nobody's gonna know yeah how do they know yeah right so predictions and the reason we're doing our predictions this week is on the off chance it is next week so that way we get it in because if it happens on wednesday we'll already happen we're just jumping the gun we figure hey i figured this is the first of february there isn't a direct today so no matter what we got our predictions in before it happened so so basically if it happens if it happens it'll be next wednesday on a podcast day and then we'll react after our predictions that'd be perfect so i'll be having i'll be uh dk mic during the podcast well i mean are you gonna have it but then you add it it's a cart but you won't know until the seventh yeah never mind it's not gonna probably the following week there'll probably the following the 15th when it's happening when he thought it was gonna happen yeah that's actually a good punishment though it wouldn't be fitting it would be fitting yeah um so let's let's get some predictions in for this direct all right i got my list oh you always got your list here we go there's gonna be a cheese at the kingdom trailer okay okay i'll mix it up there's gonna be a mebo's announced and a special edition announced all right so here's my list well there's a little something on this my list okay your list here we go i've got my odyssey's dream list let's go splatoon three dlc yes coming down probably the pain dogs mobile game yeah 10 dogs mobile game wait mobile all right pig and four pig and four release date the live 21st okay you just go over the specific day right i would say release season if it's a summer game if it's a summer game then maybe they'll have a date if they give us a live that supports a summer direct remember that remember that the live 21st or a pigment direct pig me for metro prime hd okay just the first one of the truth is no that's the just the first one just all ass no what if it's remade like it's brand new visuals a couple new boss fights new gameplay yeah that the amount of time they could spend making metro prime four they're gonna add more boss right one boss fight but listen for caverns i'm gonna skip no just no it wasn't metro prime final mix i'm good we're gonna see we're gonna see three is all the games this year three is all the games yes we're gonna first time i'm not even gonna mention uh you don't want to use i already said we make her and try princess earlier and that already we're gonna have we're gonna have a lot of me i already lost like 50 subs off we're gonna have we're gonna have a triforce pack triforce pack okay that's gonna be cheers to the kingdom triforce heroes between worlds it's gonna be it's gonna be a wind waker twilight princess and another retro old game whatever or you know something in the back i'll tell you we're gonna go with like wind waker fan of hourglass and spirit tracks is there all sequels in your yeah maybe uh mario listen let's listen to this mario odyssey dlc for the mario movie okay mario odyssey man no this is all this copious like i'm mario odyssey dlc man nintendo's not that cool they're not that they're not that hip you don't you know the higher chris bat they're gonna pull a cd project red and give us like witcher live action content in witcher three which is like a million years old this time mario odyssey dlc mario this is his list his prediction all right all right all right all right by the way mike has a history of being a dreamer yeah should i say it again should i say it again mario odyssey i'm gonna go anyway um nintendo online gameboy advance gameboy all right color all right it's direct and this is for the the announcement of they've fixed the controls in golden eye and i'd be good and and this is for the lower tier the lower tier for the the base tier for the expansion pack we're gonna have game cube games oh my i'm not gonna go with the games because i make too long but i have the games here too who damn all right now let's move on to third party game mike too much time to prepare i should have something on the list like two out two minutes before the party why are we gonna get genshin impact on on on switch they reconfirmed last year it's still coming man they reconfirmed yeah genshin impact um let's see what else here um at least it's something that was actually announced unlike this odyssey dlc what happened i said at least genshin impact was actually announced for switch but why else would they tell us to go back and play mario odyssey right because my lc2 is gonna launch not yeah because they're just marketing different games itself and make the money oh hey you guys you remember mario mario still exists because they got into a big game for zelda to market this year so they're gonna re-market their old games wait for the email on animal crossing just wait it's their way to activate y'all sleeper agents man they're like hey go play mario odyssey did you guys have a 3d mario game on this system go play it when the movie comes out in april kids are gonna be like wow mom wow dad that's amazing hey have you heard of this awesome game like super mario odyssey for nintendo switch that's what's gonna happen that's why they told us like hey you just play the game no i think they might i honestly think they might do a bundle for mario odyssey at the movie launch really with switch do a mario odyssey i believe in mario odyssey a mario odyssey like it'll be april 7th it comes with and it comes out with the movie ticket the art products that do that sometimes you know if we do get mario odyssey dlc inspired by the movie the more the most i feel will get is just a free update that's a hat like a hat or shirt you know like no like the hat in the shirt that gives mario those all i know mentions from the movie that's your dlc that's why at the movie theater for the mario movie if they have like those cups you can get with all the little characters to put on top god damn it i'm gonna end up spending like 200 bucks the first movie i go do because i gotta buy every single one i gotta buy every single character i gotta know so i got two more i got two more games um hollow knight silk song yay that's a go okay i yeah and we didn't hear about that last year so and and of course the one that we basically already solidly for advanced wars one plus the we will camp sure sure yeah that's expected now yeah and all three house it's not got to be for us for tears of kingdom isn't it before kirby's dream of deluxe why are you in treehouse for a game the only thing to show us is the thing we want to play the game for the i have to add some disappointment to the list to make it more believable okay i have to add some disappointment to the list to make it more believable that would be very disappointing which would be a very cool i'll find the tree house i'll be outside the tree house and throw water balloons at them and they're gonna do it now at least say for bayonetta like at least i can burn the tree house down listen they're gonna now say guys we are working hardly on on tears of the kingdom so we have to delay it six more months but now cool cool well i i thought that's gonna happen because i don't want to hear what just came out of his mouth and i have to uk and nintendo australia new zealand was all i had days to go it's already it's already it's it's just let me know and eric let me know what mike's done talking i'll put my headphones on imagine how bad the publicity would be at this stage through all the marketing at the esrb rating like marketing like psych well you know what i mean mario mario mario um is it that the mario baseball or something super maro sluggers yeah yeah yeah i'm calling all of it dude i don't believe it i want to go next all right don't say i gotta uh i gotta batter up all right batter up i don't want to see maro sluggers i know that i don't want to see so predictions let's go tears of the kingdom is gonna bookend everything they're gonna start with zelda they're gonna end with zelda and you're like hey check this out new tears of the kingdom trailer shows all the stuff blah blah like a three minute long trailer and at the end of the direct it's like oh um please stay tuned for either a treehouse or they're gonna announce another event treehouse segment that's happening later in the month in order to you know keep pushing the game and it's like oh and we hope to see you at packs east we hope to see you there blah blah blah in order to play two since human head of release and they're gonna show off a mobo one of packs east is that happening i'm going no i already got my tickets man i already got my tickets my i've been offered tickets but i haven't i haven't accepted because i need to know i'm not i'm not going unless i i am not playing games with nintendo because like after what they did with elma crossing the last the last three the last packs i went to i'm like they have the power yo they had follow that like this i was obviously it's not nintendo but i mean packs has the like capacity and ability to get big games playable out there but yeah they have fun about some remake there and i'm like remember when those two games are fighting ocarina of time and yeah anyways um other than that pigment for a little bit like an actual like gameplay trailer and then possibly like a season reveal they're going to show off advance words they're probably going to talk about fire emblem uh engage uh dlc uh zealblade chronicles three wave three dlc i don't know if they're going to talk about wave four because wave four is going to come out the end of the year so i don't know about that uh i feel metro it could have some sort of presence there like if tears of the kingdom is not going to like end the direct then in my opinion metro prime four will be a good one to like end off with uh like everyone's been saying metro prime trilogy is going to come but like after years and years and years of like it not showing up like i believe i believe the thing where it's like okay nintendo has it's in its pocket i also believe that they don't right it's like it's one of those things same thing what's all our presence and when we create to the i believe they have it in their pocket right for the switch are they going to show off release it that's truly up to them and uh now i don't think they're going to talk about mario at all in terms of the movie or a new game or obviously or anything they're probably going to talk about mario kart uh the like you know the dlc that dlc the next wave yeah the next wave um what dap you say here's like here's the funniest thing about the direct that the supposed direct that's coming up we're right now in a position once again within nintendo's history where we're kind of like other than some big titles that we kind of have like oh it that has to be there or it should be there such as metroid pikmin or tears of the kingdom we're kind of going in dark and then going in with the whole idea what ijin is insinuating saying that like hey the rest of the year is going to be looking kind of empty like what can nintendo possibly like you know fill out a direct other than third party content and you know third party content on the switch is always a coin flip you know genshin impact uh residual for remake cloud edition um i might vomit it is gonna happen it's gonna happen i mean i would love that i mean i really am excited for the game but you know i don't want the only one who has no issue with cloud versions yes probably because you're the only one for apple well well i mean if you have fiber optic internet with 2000 upload speed and download you probably should i should really try that now i'm a maybe came to march doesn't suck on switch unfortunately the switch dock has a bottle next you can only get like 30 down anyway i'm turning my switch off i mean maybe it was a shot it was maybe it'll be more consistent it'll be the full 30 drops the full 30 no drops oh yeah hey you kind of dropping like 15 or 20 so you know so you might get a full 30 flat just give it a try yeah turn it on and find out if it's still a leg fest i'm about to find out i'm not i'm not stupid enough to buy the cloud version ouch i love kingdom art as long as i love kingdom it's for content i know well it was it made for some funny streams i'll say that i watched them all yeah and those are only the demos i like but other than that you know i like the shuins i feel is two to the kingdom uh zoonoby dlc marquardt dlc um what am i saying pickman uh maybe mature prime four like come on like enough is enough and then everything else i feel like would be genuinely good surprises because like it's at that point where that's all you got for the rest of the year is it just going to be tears of the kingdom which i'll be you know completely down for if if if tears of the kingdom or zola as a whole decides to take up like half or more than half of the direct i'll be like sitting pretty and if you were like oh what would they talk about they could talk about tears of the kingdom the release date the um a new big ass trailer uh the joy cons special edition OLED the amiibos hey guess what's coming back the nintendo symphony of the goddess zelda you know to commemorate uh the 35th anniversary which we couldn't do because tears of the kingdom didn't come out because it was delayed and then they do that and then they're like oh to commemorate this we also got a release in the lineup of dark horse books and then you know they could do so much but they could spend time just talking about the game like they could show us a three minute trailer and then a new book could come on the stage and like show off like oh here's link's new power to zonai hand and then they go oh yeah oh man i would eat that up i would eat that up so much yeah you design with his new voice oh he's just getting the director well i mean yeah well yeah we're a lot of us are big zelda people so of course we love it just to be all zelda all the time but not talking right now because i'm actually signing up for pax so maybe are you signing up for pax yeah okay instead of signing up mike talk to stef she'll get you a media pass you don't even have to sign up i don't mind what am i doing is wasting my time she's already offered she's already offered him to me so you know i don't even have to yeah all right so i want to go ahead yeah she told me to always just go to her for pax they they get guaranteed press press bad just for pax anyways you got we got any other predictions ancient case how you got as you still try to see you're still trying to see if the cloud works i'm i'm gonna do it wait how much is king demarche server on mine 50 bucks man i might as well just buy all the games it's like $90 for all of them hot man all right don't make me buy all right so like let me wrap up i just wasted $90 that he's gonna regret let me let me just let me let me wrap it up as much as i loved uh you know more is on the tiles besides tears of the kingdom like i feel like unfortunately i hate saying this i really do i feel like you know the time for tears the time for yeah it is the time for tears the time for twilight princess and when we work hd to come to the switch has come and gone and i hate saying that because i mean like i like i hate the fact that it's locked on my Wii U like i like said set it free please you know skyro story g is here i would love to have these games possibly run 60 frames per second on the switch on the go so i don't have to plug in uh my Wii U in order to play these games the winmaker and twilight princess there are a peacock you gotta let me fly yeah what if i told you that we log in here switch to you'll be able to download those games well i don't want to buy another console that be backwards compatible the Wii U yeah yeah no way no switch to a good at bc back to we you digital no way no way no if power pc architecture it's not happening no way you'll see you'll see okay mike i know he's a dreamer and that's what i gotta say but uh i wish i could stay but i got a hey you know what you stayed longer this time than last time right it's a little bit a little bit longer every time like it's gonna get this gonna get there gonna get there hello Wednesday is a really busy day for me yeah really busy for me too all right man later you guys should go uh subscribe to hmk he's got links down in the description and everything to go check him out let's get him on the road to 200k let's do it all right um you know what we got eric on the screen i guess eric why don't you give us some predictions what eric what yeah yeah i don't have much um you know it'd be kind of cool but i'm leaning more towards this for next year with the with the console launch would be uh luigi's mansion four um having that there but i a but i have a feeling it's gonna be more of a launch year for a new system yeah luigi's mansion yeah it's so good um and then the other one that would be kind of interesting to see i know it's gonna be rumored is astral chain two uh okay okay i mean those those are kind of the the two that haven't been said or something hasn't been said about them that i kind of have um that other than that i mean your picmans your here's the kingdom your everything else i think you're gonna you're gonna see so okay hey you added to the pile yeah you added to the pile all right all right uh let's have arm dress go i guess since he's up here medicine this is medicine this is medicine we this is medicine we all right okay so i mean i already have my one i said i didn't like your haircut right just remember don't listen anything i have to write i'm an idiot fine all right um okay so can i can i say something real quick of course i i want to i want to give a shout out to sam sam less in the chat um we were talking about the ndas and how stupid some of them would be it would be uh me with your example it'd be like for super mario bros don't tell anyone that the princess doesn't matter the castle so i have to go to this shout out to sam on that one because that one was pretty freaking good sorry andris go ahead no that's fine i'm giving more time to to space out how i'm gonna say things so i kind of um already have my predictions video out there so you can check my channel um later it's the one that looks like a direct announcement but anyway um so this direct is going to be known as the zelda plus doc direct like remember how the september direct is considered the farming simulator direct people are going to talk trash about this there's always just zelda and dlc that's what this direct is going to be about there will be some cool announcements so the idea with the direct is to kind of give us at least information throughout the first half of the year leading to the summer and if that's how it actually holds up i think that this supports the information that or the idea that we could still get like a summer direct that all said in terms of dlc we're going to get the wade three announcement presumably chronicles three because that's due by april that's not the big story one we're going to have to wait later into the year for that it's gonna be like a hero um i think they're actually gonna announce switch sports dlc i'm expecting that to get announced the game actually sold pretty well and they should take advantage of that um actually um um mic you may like that um mic you may like mic are you fathom of mario rabbits yeah i know eric is oh yeah yeah so uh you know they're gonna they're gonna finally announce the um the dlc uh the tower of doom hasn't had any announcement since it was announced so that's supposed to come out early 2023 so they'll talk about that and they might mention the story dlc it's supposed to come out in the summer i'm not sure on it but at least the tower of doom they're gonna we're gonna get information on that we're gonna learn about the epilogue story encourage return to doom and deluxe um they're gonna make mention of that and then the game's gonna come out like a week or two after the direct depending on when they do that um let's see divas is adding me you think new model if ip will come with the new console next year i don't know if it's coming out next year but i do think they're saving the new ip for for the next system so they're not gonna see that in a direct what other dlc fire them dlc will be mentioned they will not talk about choose the kingdom dlc they'll save that for another day um that's pretty much it for dlc pokemon dlc that's gonna happen at the pokemon presents so don't even worry about it and if there is a pokemon game coming this year like say like a detective pikachu or poke in tournament they're gonna announce that during the pokemon presents as well so no pokemon stuff during the direct um beyond dlc though if there's a mario sports title they're announcing it during this direct for the summer um i don't believe the rumor about mario baseball but if it happens i'm all for it beyond that i'm not thinking of me anything mario there's gonna be the mario cart dlc they'll announce the mario cart dlc but um the that's it they're not gonna announce any other mario game during this direct they're gonna allow the focus be on the mario movie and then once the movie is is done in april maybe in the summer they announced a 2d mario game for later in the year but we're not getting a mario announcement this during this direct i think i hope i'm wrong nate you're freaking out mandy she was like wait i'm sorry i was trying to fix that so so uh there's some camera leg happening with all of us in that layout we were in so i was like i was trying to fix the camera leg from the big it's only the big well you go to that's why i moved andra's over anyway so i didn't mean to cut off on it i think this layout still works so we'll just go with this one all right sorry go on andra no problem all right so um i've gone over the dlc um i think they're saving a mario announcement a bigger amount mario announcement for later into the year but maybe a mario sports title uh beyond that um i am expecting a metro announcement i do think it'll be metro prime hd they will announce it it'll come out late summer they'll say there's gonna be information on metro prime 4 coming out later in the year and that's gonna be that um i'm divided on f0 um i do believe that i believe the f0 thing i'm just not sure when it's gonna get announced so i'm not i'm not sure maybe pickman 4 is also maybe for me because i feel like they could talk about that in the summer they don't have to talk about it now but i do think it's gonna be at least one other game announced for the summer that we don't know about that's going to kind of help to fill that up and people are going to think a little bit more highly of the year not sure what that is though maybe that is f0 uh maybe it's something else but i i'm still kind of unsure about that beyond that it's going to be zelda they're going to talk about jesus the kingdom they're going to give us like a three and a half minute trailer it's going to be both story and gameplay related i think agnoma will come out on stage and make a few references to a few things and give us a few words on that so it ends up being like five or six minutes of tears of the kingdom information so like imagine we see a three and a half minute trailer we see more of like the mechanics of the hand and then anu was gonna be like okay so this is the replacement for the sheikah slate you know you have these different abilities they're pretty cool you'll there'll be something like a few a few extra like gameplay snippets during this moment and i think the trailer is probably at least reveal like maybe the voice acting for ganondorf and he was like hell so yeah this is ganondorf you'll confirm it's ganondorf and they were like yep you like his new design his new look he's the most infamous villain or most popular villain throughout zelda history and he's bigger and better than ever in this game and then they'll announce amiibo a special edition and say more details are coming very very soon and that'll be the direct that's not a bad there you go there you go it's solid it's solid yep mandy what do we what do we got rocking what do you think that well a lot of you said the obvious games the obvious thing i think oh advance in the chat like captain toe two i'll be down for that that sounds like a good game for this year for the type of year it is toad is popular now toad's the man so yeah the boy i mean silk is great with the more it would be nice more tears of a kingdom give it an old lead for it all that jazz so everything y'all said nothing new to add that's okay if there's nothing new it's all right no it is is there like a dream game you wish they would reveal um actually not i mean yeah i'm not that i think the best system that all the dreams have come final fantasy type zero oh there we go that's a good one there we go i keep hoping that we'll get final 57 remake after crisis core came out and ended up and i enjoyed crisis like a brand actually pretty well on switch i was surprised yeah it did so but we're not gonna get five out of seven because so many paid for it when do you guys think advance versus coming out i mean we all agree it's gonna be the direct right twitter drop tomorrow where it's gonna drop like a ghost twitter drop yeah i think advance or one of the reboot camp is going to be next month because they don't really have anything coming on next marie march that's crazy right tomorrow well you know maybe april i mean i was trying to say april one of the months ahead and have a new april it's gonna be april game yeah i think march we get the marie cart way four and then bay and then bay and then yeah oh a new mario cart would be nice that's a dream game oh there we go i was gonna be like that's a dream game someone's got a dream of a mario car game yeah that's a lot part nine it's been so long yeah get it chris remastered would be a dream hey we can actually there's a reason to talk about a sakurai himself brought it up like this is not somebody who's a nobody this is something which makes dreams happen which is why we're gonna get a zero this year and and wavy waveries actually you know what they're gonna do the switchboard the switchboards dlc is gonna bring back the wave racing resort minigame instead i want to see a remake of either zelda one or zelda two zelda two give it to me you know i don't even want to have it well it's you know what it doesn't even matter if they mess up zelda two for me it's one of my favorite zelda games all the time because it's not about me it's about people who hate hate it the first time around so they'll love it the second time yeah it's a bad uh it's the only zelda game i dislike well and that's precisely why they should remake it because they would make it more palpable to go it would be more playable today another game is a paper mario game another one yep it kind of what one of the last one was that 2019 or 2020 this 2020 three years removed is possible we could yeah no reason i want gamecube to come to nintendo online it's because of thousand thousand year door that because that game is so yeah i actually can see i mean i prefer thousand year door to be a remake i would rather have that i could see that happen the whole game an hd remaster would be sweet yeah and if they add just add a few new stages and stuff too it'd be it'd be interesting like that's my thing like for this direct if they do lean into gamecube remasters i kind of want them to not just like be putting widescreen and hd i would like to see some extra content added each time so like if we get thousand year door like cool they'll throw in a few extra stages a few extra boss battles but maybe one new ability um or new item like that and we've seen some evidence of them doing that like well curvy they did it they completely didn't even talk about the fact that apparently there's post game content now like what had they didn't even officially announce it yet we just know about it because the box art's out there yeah so it's soon that box art's not fabricated it looks pretty good to me yeah i think i think it's legit i don't know i mean we'll know for sure when the direct hits right it was obviously supposed to be a surprise i believe it's real um i do think the game vouchers were supposed to be part of the direct but since they leaked out there they said i don't know whatever it's just it's our it's our bad our trailer went up too soon our bad so now the trailer was actually officially released today um but we all know it already leaked it was out it literally was on their youtube channel so um so at no point in really talking about the game vouchers because they already announced they're coming back i felt like that was going to be a north american uh part of the north american direct but it then being announced doesn't mean there's isn't going to be a direct it's not that big a deal um i mean it is a big deal but it's not like it makes or breaks a direct uh i so for the direct obviously there's all the obvious stuff like cheers to the kingdom advance over reba do warm blister reba camp know about it those are things we literally retailers are taking pre-orders for them now so um um i think what's what's interesting is is thinking about what could like i think there's going to be a lot of dlc every direct seems to be known for something right like farming sims was what people remember september 4 right it's zelda release date and farming sims that's all we got well no there was more in there than that but there was quite a few farming sims in comparison to other um genres of games and this time around i think it's going to feel like there's just quite a lot of dlc compared to other things uh so like i think dlc for splatoon 3 i think dlc for xeno blade dlc for mario kart dlc for fire emblem that's already four right there dlc mario odyssey and another thing most of those games already have i've already been confirmed that dlc is coming we just need to hear about it yeah so like we are so like it it's going to be four dlc's right there and that's not counting anything else pokemon scotland pilot now that dlc might be saved for pokemons of own event oh who knows maybe there's a tease of that here because maybe nintendo said hey pokemon company we know you do your own thing but we'd like to tease the dlc because this is the fastest selling game we've ever published in history and we want to be in our show we want we want to be the ones that do so it's possibly sneak it in i do think though it's more likely that happens up at the pokemon event for people don't know pokemon day is every february around the 25th so we're gonna get pokemon dlc would be announced around then there'll also be a bunch of other really random weird pokemon announcements that you'd be like really what this is one reason why you don't see a lot of nintendo youtubers like live streaming pokemon day one because the pokemon company copyright strikes everything and two uh because they announce a lot of really weird things that just make you go what are we talking about and then randomly somewhere in there there's something about a game um that's just yeah as a whole culture is what i'm saying and most of us that are here for the games aren't involved in the whole culture of pokemon um but i do think there is a chance just because of the magnitude at which that game sold um and nintendo having to publicly apologize nintendo themselves were the ones putting out the public apologies about the performance of the game i can see them going we're the ones that want to announce because maybe it's going to be announced in a dlc combined with a performance patch okay and nintendo wants to be they want to go out in front of and be like we got you performance patch coming along with new dlc um so i think that's a bigger possibility than it normally is just because of the unique situation of mega sales plus nintendo have an issue of public apology for a pokemon game then they've never had to do that in the history of the company um and that being said it doesn't seem to hurt sales at all so whatever but clearly it wasn't up to nintendo's level of quality standards and part of that i think is also on nintendo but that's a that's a totally different conversation because nintendo should have been doing a keeping tabs on that game a bit better a bit better quality assurance yeah they should like i understand that they use their own qa teams pokemon company does but nintendo they had like it's hard for me to believe that they didn't know it's just if and if they don't then it's time that they start to get involved in quality assurance of pokemon will the dlc be free or will be like an expense it'll be it'll be paid it'll be paid it'll be an expense not the patch would be free the patch yeah the performance patch will be for all even if it launches the same day as the dlc um god maybe that's the thing they're gonna do it all at once but the performance patch will be free and maybe even some additional content to go along with it just to kind of like smooth things over um with some new quests or or maybe like maybe half of a new territory or something that sets up a quest line to the dlc and then the dlc will be paid like the expansion pass was for um uh the last pokemon sword and shield sword and shield yeah it's getting so hard to say now it took me a minute to remember it too yeah i know what was the dlc called like the tundra or something like yeah so there was the isle of armor and crown tundra yeah yeah they had two different new areas to explore one came out in summer one came out in the winter yeah so i do think there's a higher chance than normally would be for that to happen uh but besides that uh and being known for just a ton of dlc because i think it's going to be dlc yeah well well i kind of agree with what hmk said earlier where they might go zelda beginning zelda end uh which feels weird because that means that oh man they don't really have anything big it doesn't mean that we will walk away dissatisfied i think we're going to get three gamecube remasters announced uh i'm not 100 sure on what those gamecube remasters are going to be part of me wants to say metroid prime is one of them because if they've really been sitting on it you don't want to keep you don't want to start having a two three year gap from metroid dread to the next metroid uh so i kind of feel like it would make sense to drop a tease for it even if it ends up being an october release just drop a tease that it actually is coming out this year uh outside of that i'm not really like i personally have heard from from sources that f0 is happening but i i can't get any information on if it's coming this year so question so i believe you said a gx remaster which i'm all for that's what i heard yeah okay but like what if it's a new f0 game like what are what are you i'd prefer new i mean who want new yeah but i mean to your point from earlier right like i think a lot of these remasters we're gonna get they're gonna be the new standard for what a nintendo remaster is which is it's a remaster which actually nicely improves visuals new control options quality lift updates and new content be it like an epilogue story or side mission or something yeah it's not going to be like like the content won't be groundbreaking i don't feel like but there will be new that they're gonna they're gonna give long time fans a reason to want to drop the money like if you're a big fan of return to return to dreamland for kirby while you have a huge reason with the post game content assuming that's real um to buy so uh i think they'll do that with almost all of these gamecube remasters gx getting a whole other cup like five new track oh it thinks it's not a six per cup i think right i think i think it's yeah so but it's a whole new cup that would be the perfect way um and then i don't know what the third one will be i don't think it's gonna be zelda ones i i'm kind of on record to say and i feel like at this point that's for in the next system um those are save them and and maybe they always were gonna save them because they felt like they already remastered them so the next time they do it they want to be able to tout 60 fps or or something else uh so i think we will see some other new games that aren't potentially in here i obviously want to see third party games we don't talk about the third party games that much uh it would be nice if we got i don't know if we will see it but i would like to see hollow knight show up uh just because one it is it is a big enough indie game that they won't put it in an indie world uh and two there's a lot of nervousness since it appeared at the xbox thing that they cancel the switch version and that nervousness is going to exist until they show it and then tell us it's coming out still for switch um which which by the way if that nervousness turns out correct because maybe xbox bought it or something and maybe they bought the studio and it's just not even been announced yet um that would really hurt me personally since i actually played this game at e3 2019 they had a playable demo of hollow knight silk song and e3 and i played it on switch for like an hour we have acting is so dressed on switch though like i feel like it would too because that's where the probably i think most the audience is for a pc but um i don't know but i would like to see that appear uh with a release date it kind of felt like that xbox announcement made you feel like and remember xbox said all games at that time are coming out in the next 12 months so it should be coming out within the next six months according to according to microsoft themselves remember the show that it was in they said everything shown is coming out in the next 12 months yep so that means hollow knight is coming out soon so maybe we get the release date uh here that would that would be really nice uh plus it reconfirms us on switch and xbox people will be happy too because it'll be you know probably a game past a1 and yada yada yada um let's see and then i do think there'll be
