What's up and welcome back to Kind of Funny Gamescast for Monday, January 20th, 20th, 2025. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Getty's. I'm joined today by blessing at a Yoia Jr. Good day, Tim. Good day to you as well. How you feeling? I'm feeling good. Yeah. Had a good weekend. I played a lot of magic. I'm so happy for you. It continues to take over my life. That's good. That's good. So what would you do this weekend? Like, what with magic did you do? Oh, I did quite a few things. I mean, the big thing I did was on Friday evening went to my first pre-release magic event, right? There's an upcoming, like, set that they're releasing. I believe it is a remaster of Inestrade. Like a reissue that just like, is it just like

the same ones again? Or is it just like new art or something? I'm not sure. Like, I don't know, but it has remaster on the box. And I know it is like, like, like, sort of a reissue. So I imagine maybe they revamped the art or like did stuff to it. And so it's a pre-release event where you go, you buy packs and then you have 30 minutes to open the packs and then make a deck out of those packs and then you face off against people in the store awesome you can do like three rounds

and for each round you win you win a pack and so it was really fun it was one of those ones where I was like man this is life like this is living right here this is living right here like so cool I think the thing that's working so well for magic

for me is that for some reason growing up like playing Yu-Gi-Gi-o cards never matched watching the Yu-Gi-o anime, and how could it? How could it? How could it? But, like, magic for some reason is giving me the feel. Like, it's bringing me back. It's like, I'm thinking of strategies. I'm meeting up with people when I'm playing. There's different modes and shit. Like, man, let me tell you about magic, guys.

I love the new thing, man. Real quick, how easy is it to make a deck from packs of cards? Like, that sounds like a fair bit of a challenge, like, just even just number-wise. Yeah, I mean, I think it depends on, like, what style of magic you're playing. Because like there's the big one right now is commander. I think that's like the more popular mode that people are playing because it is like more social.

You can play with like four different people and like it's like a night. I was playing last night with a couple friends. And it's such a nice like we had like an hour and a half long game, which is probably the longest game of magic ever played. But it was like just us kicking it, you know, going back and forth of like, oh, let's getting up on this person. And it's 100 cards. But like you only have it's 100 cards.

You have like a commander card, which is like almost like a. you're like queen i guess yeah like there's like a you in the hugio anime there's like a ace there's like a season that's like you have like a deck master type of thing right like and then um you can only have one of each card so i think it's just a way more almost like a casual you can just load up that card with decks right like still want strategy you still want all this shit i do think that it does take quite a bit of like playing and learning and understanding the base rule set and then figuring out what type of play style works for you have yeah and once you figure that out you can make a deck

Okay, okay. So the friends that you're playing with, are they, you're, I don't know the best way to say this, your normal friends that are now getting into it with you? Are these new friends that are magic friends? These are normal friends that had already been into magic. Okay, cool.

Yeah, so like, it's the thing where I would have board game nights with my friends, like Meg, Cassie, Zachary, and, like, we'd play, like, casual, like, board games. He'd play exploding kittens and stuff. But then every now and then they would break away and play some magic. And I'd be like, all, cool, yeah, let's play some magic. you know, I'll do my thing over here or whatever, and I'll see them.

I'm like, man, that seems fun. That seems like a good time. I love it. And then once I learned, I was like, cool, now I can play with them. And it's been such a fucking good time. That's odd. I'm so excited for you. That sounds, that sounds like a blast. It is. Absolute blast. It is. You know what else? I know what else. That's going to be it. I mean, for sure. Playing it, it seems like a leap for me.

But I also love playing the games with you guys. That's the thing is, I think you can get there. It's not that tough to learn. Me and Greg learned, like, over the course of his stream. Yeah. And like, Greg knows how to play magic. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Okay.

Okay. Well, we'll see. Exciting stuff. Those cards look fantastic. So, last question I have about magic before we move on to Nintendo. This reissue, or the new set coming out. Are you at the point that you're excited for new sets? Or there's just so many cards out there that like to you, it's kind of like, it doesn't matter.

Right now I'm at the point where it doesn't matter because every card is a new card. Exactly. Right. But the reissue, the only thing I was excited for was to go to this event and play with friends and play with new people. I have been hearing about the new upcoming set. Chat, you might have to correct me.

I believe it was called EtherDrift. And it is an original, like, magic thing, and it involves race cars. And I saw a card today that was the Akira slide. Oh, that's right. It was probably part of this. And it looks sick as shit.

And hearing about it, I'm like, that sounds really cool. And so that I'm excited for. And then the partnered, like, you know, IP stuff. Oh, perfect. Yeah, Kevin hasn't pulled up. So this looks fucking cool to me. Yeah.

I'm into this. I like cars. I like racing things. And then I'm excited for like the Final Fantasy one. Apparently there's a SpongeBob one. Is there really? Yeah. And I'm going to have to hop on that.

Of course you are. Yeah. There's Spider-Man one, too. Spider-Man? Spider-Man. Getting a set. Damn it. Yeah.

Oh, my God. My poor wallet. My poor wallet, everybody. Everyone, this is kind of funny games cast. Each and every weekday.

Today's Gregway is actually Andy talking about the NuzzLock's season two, I guess you want to call it, the second run for Nick's first time playing. playing Pokemon, but now first time playing Generation 2, which I am incredibly excited about because

he ain't ready, plus, he doesn't know that he's about to play the best Pokemon game. I'm very excited for him. Yeah. And I'm not checked up on, like, did Nick fall in love with Pokemon? Yes, he did. Okay. Which is so special. And that's very excited.

Yes. Yeah, yeah, he is. You know, Tim, something that will, I think, upset you. Of course, I play Pokemon gold and silver. Of course. Never played heart, golden, soul, silver. I mean, that doesn't upset me. I'm so jealous of you.

Yeah. Because that means at one point you get to play it for the first time. I want to. I do you think they'll ever, I guess it wouldn't make sense for them to afford it? That's the biggest problem is it being a DS game. Allegedly, there are ways around it, you know? Pretty easy, pretty simple, pretty smart use of the Steam Deck screen where it puts both screens on one screen and one of them is really tiny.

It doesn't matter as much, but it looks really freaking good. Allegedly. Okay. But officially, yeah, I don't know. Unless Switch 2 adds DS to the NSO, which maybe that's one of your predictions. I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, have you seen all these the rumors this weekend? No. So real quick, before we get into the actual blessing predictions of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Months ago, a patent leaked from Nintendo, as they often do, right? Yeah. That looked like a kind of weird, almost oval-shaped screen situation. And it was really kind of hard realize what it might be.

People are thinking like, oh, it might be this might be that. People now that the Switch 2 has been officially shown, the USBC port of the top, people are like, wait a minute, what if it's a second screen attachment? I think that that's going too far. What's so funny is that I saw that and I purely thought it was like a fan-made thing. I didn't know this came from speculation,

but also would be kind of neat. It would be kind of neat. I don't think that that's going to happen. I also don't think it needs to because, yeah, Kevin, if you bring that up again, you can just adjust the screen size too so you can make that thing even smaller if you want and fill the big one

you can have a button so that it switches what the screens are so it is just the main screen until you need the other one a lot of options a lot of options okay but oh we'll get into my predictions or your predictions who knows who knows who knows everybody but that's what we're doing it today actually before we get into that

I do want to let you know I want to be very thankful to our Patreon producers on this beautiful Monday Delaney Twyne and Carl Jacobs. Today, we are brought to you by Shady Ray's and Rocket Money, but I'll tell you all about that later. Sorry, last bids of housekeeping, very important stuff. After this, we're doing an incredibly special stream.

The boys are going to get into Waymo and just see how far they can go. Is this one of those ones where, as we were talking about it during the meeting, I was like, is this legal? Like, are allowed to do this? Can we do this? Is this going to get them in trouble? I don't know.

Is this big Waymo going to be like, oh, we can't let them record? Andy, Mike, and Nick are going to get. Get in a Waymo and just see what the limits are. What's the worst thing that could happen? The worst thing that could happen? I mean, I don't know. I don't think that, like, there's anything too bad.

It's not like they're going to do anything, like, explicit in this car. I mean, of course. You know what I mean? Of course. This is a Nick Andy and Mike shoot a porno. Sure. But it's like, I don't know. I just think about Harold and Kumar.

Right. And it's like, how far can they go to where it's a problem now? Like, okay. I get it. I get it. far enough and then the way well's like oh can't go further and they're just out in the middle of nowhere well that's the thing is i don't think that i mean you need to put a destination in so it's not like they're going to get lost they might get stranded somewhere and not be able to get back and that's my fear

is like where can they get how like what if they get stranded somewhere i mean here's the thing i don't have my car today the waymo loses signal their phones lose signal i imagine they take an uber back right no that's that's true that's true they don't signal find out everybody after this they're going live. What's going to happen? Who the fuck knows? Is the stream going to crash? Probably, but it's going to be a good time. We have Kev. We have our best minds at home running into control to help as much as he possibly can from the studio. So we'll see how that goes. But enough about all that. Let's get into the topic of the show. A couple weeks ago, Roger came up with a new predictions format that we all had a lot of fun with. Going month by month of the year 2025,

making video game predictions. We call him Rod Stradamus. He did an awesome job coming up with stuff. Now that Nintendo has finally officially announced the Nintendo Switch 2, you and I were like, okay, any opportunity we get to speculate about Nintendo, we're going to do it. So we're going to do a two-parter

episode of Nintendo Switch predictions. Today, we're going to run through Blessing at Eioia Jr's 12 predictions for 2025 for the Nintendo Switch 2. Month by, are you doing January? I'm doing, yeah. I'm going from I'm going 12-month predictions, all the way

through 2026. I love this. I love this. So we're going all the way. It's going to be a great time. And then tomorrow, we're going to switch roles. And I will be giving my predictions for things that are going to happen? Do you have any thing you want to preface this with in terms of are these predictions that you truly believe are going to happen? Are these what you want to happen? Is it somewhere in the middle? This is the one that I thought about a lot. Because I think we've, me and you have talked about like, you know, oh man, if I had a host of Nintendo Direct and like playing out Nintendo's year, what would it look like? But for me, I went the direction of predictions.

Things that I think either will happen, could happen, or there's a conversation to be had about like whether or not, like, how these things could happen. Okay. And so I'm going more speculation route as opposed to like my world of dreams route. Good. I like that.

And the way I'm going to try to play this is I already have most of mine completed. I have some homework to do later. I'm not going to bring them up though today. Okay. I want to save mine for tomorrow. Um, if you, have things that are like exactly what I have, I might talk about it, then I'll change them for tomorrow because I want to make new content here. But I'm going to try to just

enhance your ideas here and we'll save mine for tomorrow. Okay. So with doing these Nintendo Switch 2 predictions, I'm going month by month, which does mean, in my opinion, in my opinion, I got to pick a month for launch. Okay. I'm going June. Right? I think I'm thinking, oh, wait, whoa, so you're doing predictions from June to June? Yes. Yes. You crazy person. June to May. So you're not,

you're not going to predict the next couple months? Oh, is that how you're doing it? That's what I was thinking. No, fuck that. No, I'm starting at launch and then I'm going from there.

Shit, okay. I'm going to June, yeah. Okay, because I think there's a lot of things to predict the next couple months as well. Well, here's the thing, because I imagine that we're going to do

like the Nintendo direct predictions. Yeah. And so like, I think I'll say both for that. So the first year of the switch. I'm going the first year of the switch to. All right.

So launch in June. with also like the loose understanding that I think it also could be July but I'm thinking June or July for this thing for sure With the assumption of June The Switch 2 releases It releases for

$350 It's launch games Will be Metroid Prime 4 Metroid Prime 4 Beyond will be a cross-gen launch So it comes out for Switch 1 and Switch 2 It'll be $70 And it'll be heavily marketed

With the mouse functionality For the Switch 2 even though most people won't use it. They're going to show it in the trailers. Oh, look, you can do, not mouse and keyboard, because it's not technically mouse and keyboard, right, but mouse and controller, they're going to try and get that off,

you know, show off that functionality. And Metroid Prime 4 will be one of the main games that use to try and market that. And it'll be the second highest metacritic game of the year. Oh, yeah. That part excites me. Very, very much. I mean, I do think that the game journalists of the world

are yearning for a Metroid Prime, right? And I feel like if it succeeds at what it needs to, I do think, of course, it'll be highly rated. And it is that type of game that could break the 90 plus metacritic kind of conversation. You're talking about the mouse support for Metro Prime 4. I'm convinced that there will be some level of mouse support. And for people that don't know what we're talking about, there's been a lot of rumors.

And then the Nintendo Switch 2 kind of reveal itself. Soft confirmed that the joycons are going to be able to, at the very least, slide across the table. And they did it in a way that looked very mousy. Yeah. And it's like you kind of put it together. Yeah. And I could see it.

Like, even yesterday I was holding a joycon as we do. And I was doing thing where I like started sliding a joycon across the table just to see. And it does feel kind of nice, right? The way that like the like the back bumper buttons feel like you can have like kind of a mouse clicky thing there. Yeah. Like it felt right. My biggest concern with it is I, mice or something that. that have been so mouses?

Is it mice? Is the plural of that type of mouse mice? Or is it mouses? I would say mice. I think so too. I think so too. But mice have gotten so ergonomic and advanced over the years. Like that is something that I feel potentially more than any product in the world besides a keyboard.

Like the research and development into the ergonomics of it itself, I think they might be the number one and two products. Right. So mice feel good. Yeah. I know when I'm playing with the mouse that doesn't feel good, and I can't imagine a JoyCon feeling good. Yes, and I agree with you, which is why I think most people, this is going to be one of those functions where it's kind of like the, like, PS4, like, touchpad or like things where it is, all right, y'all try to push this, but it's not sticking with the people. I think the mouse functionality, I could see, I could see that this being something that Nintendo's like, no, we believe in this. Like, it's going to be cool.

It's going to be unique. It's going to be, it's going to be purely Nintendo. If people try it out and they're like, oh. Because like when is Nintendo, when was the last time Nintendo really cared about like ergonomics, right? Like the switch feels good to hold, but like you hold the JoyCon sideways and that shit feels like trash. But that's one of the main things of the switch. Good point. Right?

That's one of the things they really push. And so like I think it's the fact that they can do it and there's creativity that I, that they probably think they can have around a mouse function. And also like problems they think they can fix, right? Like first person shooters don't feel the best on the switch. I could see them being like Ah, but if you can make it like a mouse, like maybe you could have that level of intricacy in your movement, make that feel a bit better.

So your prediction of the mouse support in Metroid Prime 4, I feel like you're on to it because I think that when you look at Metroid Prime and its history, when they put out the definitive edition the, wait, what was it called? It was just trilogy. Metro Prime trilogy on the Wii.

They added the Wii mode functionality. And that was actually great for Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime is a, it's not a twitchy first person shooter. It is a lot more about exploring and looking around. It's a little slower pace even in the kind of camera motion, right?

But having the motion controls, I'd say, added to that game. So having a secondary type of control for it makes sense. I also think that, you know, I am a huge supporter of the left hand analog stick, right hand mouse type of aiming. So if this picks up, I'm happy. Like I think sickos, like Tim Geddes

might end up fucking with it. And we might be the majority at the end of the day. You know, what I mean? This might be the turning point. This might be how it all changes for everybody. Yeah. But I don't know, but I do, I think that this makes a lot of sense. I think that Metroid Prime 4 is, is it a lock to be a launch title?

No. But like, I think it's likely. This goes back to what we were talking about during the Switch to Reveal trailer where we were trying to figure out how to place Metroid Prime for, and I think you were the one that was like, maybe it was either you or Andy that was like, oh man, people are going to buy the Switch to a launch anyway.

Like no matter what it was you, yeah. People are going to buy it anyway, no matter what the launch title is. And I think that's smart, right? Like, if you are giving that first initial wave of people that are buying a switch to Metroid Prime 4, like, it's going to do numbers and you don't really have to think about it being the switch like seller. Killer app. Because guess what? Next month, and I'm getting ahead of myself here, but next month you're going to get Mario Kart 9.

Yeah. Like Mario Kart 9 will be that number. I love it. I love that I am poisoning the well. And I'm making people start to think correctly about this. makes so much sense too because one of the reasons why I also put Metroid Prime 4 as a launch title is because it is a campaign game. It is a like start to finish like you are getting one, I think this is going to be a bandground metacritic. So having one of those at launch is going to be huge.

You can market a feature of major feature of the switch if it ends up being right with the mouse thing. And then yeah, it is a game that is an adventure. It's a game that is, you know, giving you a story and experience that like is going to be memorable. They can evangelize to your friends and go, oh, I played Metroid Prime and you guys got to check this out. Like it is a game that is a must play this year. So I love this. And I think that for everything you just said, totally agree. Prime 4 I think is a great launch title for the Switch 2.

It also is a little more quote unquote grown up, which I think the Switch 2 has that kind of a generation of kids that grew up with Switch one that are now a little bit older. Of course, there's all of us old people too. But another important thing is them putting out a game that is niche compared to some of the bigger Nintendo franchises as a launch title is, I understand maybe not the best move in terms of maximizing, but if they're going to sell it anyway, what does that even matter? The attach rate, I think, would be even higher for a high-rated game like this, that even if they didn't play the previous games, you've heard of Metroid Prime. You know how good it is and how well-received the previous games were. But on top of that, it's not like the game's not going to sell very well.

I think there's no chance the metric Prime for isn't the best-selling Metroid Prime. I think by a wide margin, it'll end up that way. way. And looking back to the last time that Nintendo had a console launch with the Switch 1, launching with Breath of the Wild, and that was a cross-gen title. Looking at the numbers now, I don't even have the updated ones. These are from December 31st, 2020.

So a little outdated, but my point stands, Nintendo Switch, 29 million units sold of Breath of the Wild. Yeah. 1.7 million units sold on the Wii. Oh, Breath of Wall. I forgot. I mean, I'm, even as you mentioned, I forgot they came out on the Wii.

It came out on the Wii, and it only sold 1.7 million units, which for the Wii U, pretty good seller, because the Wii only sold 13, right? So that's still a pretty good percentage. But my point is, it was a Switch game, and it happened to be on the Wii U. That it didn't make a dent at all. Metroid Prime 4, I think, is going to sell very well on the Switch.

Yes. And so you have those numbers together, and I think you're going to get all the excited people that have the Switch 2 that are buying it, but then you also have all the people that just have the Switch 1 that aren't planning to upgrade that are still going to buy it

and I think the sales will be similar to the previous metric games on the Switch and at the end of the day to Nintendo it doesn't matter and to any of us it doesn't matter if Metro Prime sales for sales combined between the two

are great everybody wins Yep yep and then like for me it is building up toward Mario Kart which we'll get to in a second but I think even with Metriot Prime 4 is a launch title in my prediction that doesn't mean it's the only launch title

either, right? Because as I go through my list, I think you're also going to get Mario plus Rabbits collection. They're going to bundle up the first two games, put it out, and that comes from the Ubisoft rumors that we've seen of like Ubisoft apparently has a lot of games that are going to come to Switch to, including a Mario Rabbit's collection. My thing with that, and maybe you'll get into some other predictions later, the fact that we don't know how Switch games are going to be handled in terms of like up-res or remastered whatever that looks like either hardware based or some type

of patching or something like that. I don't know that we're going to be getting collections of games that are playable on the switch already. You get them saying? I get what you're saying. And like, again, that's like a wait and see for me of how are they going to do it. But I do see it as a if you can bundle it up and also

enhance it a little bit, right? Like maybe tease that it looks slightly better or it's in 4K now. I could see them doing that. I could see it not being a automatic. In fact, I don't really expect an automatic 4K jump for these games. So I think for a select amount of games, they might make that happen. Yeah. I'm with you.

I don't know about launch. That's my one thing for that. The one reason I place it at launch is to have a Mario there. I think if, I know Mario Cart 9, right, could be month two in my, in my perceived scenario. But I think having a Mario thing there at launch

and like something that's as easy of a win of having like a Mario plus Rabbins game at launch works and like would be the reason you would have it there. Yeah. We got a couple super chats I want to get to here.

Dante the clerk says if the theory is true for mouse support, what game do you think will be ported at launch from third party to show off this feature? Third party.

Because it does open the door for first person shooters to be played a bit more. Yeah. My mind of me legal to doom the dark ages. Okay. But I also see that

as one that gets ported down the road, right? Me too. Nintendo, especially with the switch and a bit of the disparity between I still imagine and Switch 2 might have between that and like current gen consoles, right?

Like, I could see it being a thing of, all right, Doom the Dark Ages comes out. Let's say this summer on Xbox. And I forget it. I think it's coming to PlayStation too, maybe later on PlayStation. No, at the same time. Oh, the same time. Yeah. So it comes out on Xbox and PlayStation and then like fall, winter, maybe early next year for Switch 2.

Like I think that's kind of the cadence we're talking about, at least that first. Sib 7. Ooh. I think that's a big one. I like that. The thing is, I don't know. if it's because Sim 7's February, right?

For some reason that makes me think that it won't be launched. It's going to be a little bit later, which I know sounds backwards, but like, I just don't know if they're going to, if they're working on it already or not, or like how deep into development they would be.

But I think that'd be a great shout for the mouse support as well. Tundra Boy says, if Prime 4 is just more prime, will that be enough? I think the answer is yes and no. Because I feel like it's the type of thing where we,

from what we saw of the of prime four it is just more prime I think that just more prime if it's great prime it's going to be the majority of people's first Metroid Prime and they're going to be Metroid Prime stands up today you played it. This is I think one of the

rare examples that we can actually give of you played a game from 20 years ago for the first time and... Tell in love with it like probably one of my favorite like I'll I'll say it's in my top 20 top 30 games ever made right like one that blew me away. And I think, yeah, if you're able to bring back peak Metroid Prime, I think that

I think that will be enough. I think on the critical side, right? Like, on the critical side, I think it'll do well. On the commercial side, like, it's no matter what, it's Metroid, which I think maybe does box it in a little bit. But if you surround Metroid with other things that are going to uplift the whole library, then guess what? Like, it is almost like you are, I'm trying to think of this as almost like a four-course meal of like, all right, you know, you're going to get Mario. You know you're going to get X, Y, Z. You know, but like, Metroid is kind of like that, like, fancy, like, escargo. You know what I mean? It's like the thing that, like,

this is like the garnish. It's like the thing that uplifts the whole meal and turns into a fancy meal as opposed to like, you know, a beefy, like, oh man, I love everything I'm eating here. Metroid Prime 4 like adds a little pizzazz to it. I'm with you. I think the biggest misstep so far is having four in the title. I feel like they should have just went with a different route. But I agree with that. We'll see how that all goes. Let's keep going. So I have a few more things for month one. Okay.

So like I mentioned, you're going to launch with Metro Prime 4. You're going to launch with... This is June. This is June. Launch with Metro Prime 4, Mario Plus Rabb's collection. You're also going to launch with a generic joycon based party game that all of us are going to look at and go, oh, why is this not where are you aware? You're going to have one of them ones.

It's going to be another one-to-switch kind of thing. They're going to try and push, like, the party, like, multiplayer functionality of it. You're also going to have something extremely kiddy. and I'm not talking about something that fits in the category of like a Yoshi or Kirby but it's not going to be a Yoshier or Kirby it's going to be new IP

and it's going to be one of those ones that will be forgotten to time but like something for the kids because you have Metro Prime 4 there right so you need something to kind of balance that on the kiddie's side and then you'll get maybe a couple of third party things including

Assassin's Creed Mirage for some reason for some reason yeah oh that's gonna happen and maybe even split fiction I can see there being there in the first month first month Okay. So that is June.

Love that. We then move on to July. The only thing I have written here for July is Mario Kart 9. All right. It features 24 racers, as we've seen, right? We counted the starting spaces in the trailer, but even when you go back and look at that trailer and you count the racers in the trailer, like the actual characters, it does net out to 24. And so we are talking about 24 racers in a race. One of the twists is I think players can collect wonder boxes to alter the tracks.

Um, I, I floated the idea of Mario Kart Wonder in my brain, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna double down on it. I think it'll just be called Mario Kart 9. I can't wait for you to hear my Mario Kart pitch tomorrow. Oh, I cannot wait to hear it then. Um, this Donkey Kong design that we've seen in the trailer is gonna be how he looks in the next major Mario game. We'll get to that later. Uh, this game is gonna have a forts of Horizon style of open world that you can explore and begin races in. Uh, it'll be the Mario Odyssey of Mario Carts.

Oh, baby. Yeah. Full body chills right there. Let's go. And that's my Mario Kart 9 prediction. I love that. A month later. That's something that I feel good about.

Not the most, I wouldn't bet a house on it, you know? But I do think Mario Kart being the second month, not launch month is the most likely outcome at this point. Yeah, I agree. I think the switch itself is going to be a pop, especially like with whatever else you launch it with, right? If it is a Metro Prime, that is a pop.

You get a gigantic pop the next month with a, Mario Kart 9, especially if it does have like expansive, like a campaign or zone to explore. Again, the more I watched that trailer for the Switch reveal, the more it seems like there's something there as far as exploring

or maybe the tracks changing like from lap to lap. I went and I watched like speculation videos as you do and like a lot of people are pointing out things as far as like, oh, it looks like, you know, there are other roads here that maybe could be driven on. They're outside the track. Like very exciting things happening there. And so

that's my prediction for July in Maricard 9 that brings us to month 3 August you get a 2D Yoshi or Kirby one of the two not both

you get Eldon Ring for the Switch 2 not Night Rain so you don't think Eldon Ring's a launch game no I think it comes later

okay and then there's this thing that I'm going to call the indie reclamation all right Tim you talked about it during the Switch review

as far as Switch 2 reveal, as far as how the indie space has evolved since the launch of the Switch. At first, Switch was the spot for Indies. And then over time, it seems like with the Steam deck, with just time passing even, right? Like, I don't, I play a lot of indie games on the Switch, but the Switch isn't necessarily the first stop I'm always making for the indie games anymore. I think Switch 2 launch is going to bring that back. I think the first couple years of the Switch 2 launch is going to be what I'm going to call the Indie Reclamation world, the big, Ind games are going to come to the Switch, starting with Delta Rune chapters 3 and 4. Oh, shit, okay.

I think in August you get Delta Rune chapters 3 and 4, and it comes to Switch. Switch 2. So that's August for me. I love it. Okay. Yeah. Hooking. We then get into September, month 4.

We get a Zelda collection, Twilight Princess, and Winwager. Collection. Collection. Okay. We're going to get Skyrim on the Switch 2. and they're going to try and make a big deal out of it. It's going to have mouse functionality. That's going to be one of the things they market with it.

It's going to get mouse functionality. That's really funny. And the game is going to look better than it did on the Switch one. Yeah, I would hope. And then continuing with the indie reclamation, Hollow Night Silk Song, on September. September. That feels good.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I buy it. You see that Team Cherry was saying, this game's real. It's not dead. It is coming out.

I did see that. And I believe them. The thing that did shock me a little bit is I was reading a new story about it. And the new story talked about how before that game was supposed to come out in like the first half of 2020. And I started doing that math. And I was like, yo, that is crazy that it got delayed that much, which means that they want to expand it out into like a bigger thing. Right. Like let's take this from DLC size to maybe full game size.

Yep. And so like fingers crossed. We could get it this year. but that then makes me wonder like how big they're trying to make this thing. This is going to end up being a 2026 thing. But we're going to get that game for sure. How do you feel about Zelda collection?

I mean, we're going to get those games for sure. And I've been saying that about the Switch one and I've been wrong. However, I do think that when this comes out, I do think it's a cross-gen game. Like, I think they're also putting it on the Switch. We get a Zelda every year. And I think that Nintendo wants that

and is going to continue that. And it works for them. games sell very well and they're continuing to. And they're well received critically. So it's not like a Pokemon situation where there's almost a fan revolt of like slow the fuck down. People are like, give me more Zelda. Give me the old ones. Give me the new ones. Give me the spinoffs. They want more Zelda. And as long as that's true, I think that their goal internally is going to be a new Zelda every year. I think that this year is last year we had echoes of wisdom. This year, I think

the answer will just be the Wynne Waker and Twilight Princess. So yeah, I think you're on the money there. Yeah. But then I think next year is all green of time remake, baby. Exactly. And we'll get to that slash not get to that because I do think that will be like later half of next year. But I think the big reason why you don't even want to do like a newish Zelda, whether it be an echoes of wisdom or like a breath of wild or like a new thing is the fact that this year is going to be the 3D Mario year. Which gets me into month five, right?

October. But can you imagine putting out a brand new Zelda and a brand new Mario in the same year? Who would do such a thing? We lived through a time, bless. Like, especially revolutionary ones. You know what I mean? Month five, you're getting your 3D Mario. This is October in my timeline.

It is more of a linear platformer like galaxy or astrobot, not open like Odyssey. Donkey Kong. Sorry, sorry, say it again? So I view it as more of a linear platformer. For Mario? For 3D Mario? The new one, yeah.

So I would say linear. More galaxy style. Galaxy or Astrobot, right? Like not... So like 3D world then? 3D world, but I guess more, like, because 3D world I view is, like, it's kind of like top down-ish, like, to, in a sense, it'll be behind the back, right? Galaxy would be like the, yeah, like the analog will give. Something along those lines.

It won't be like you're exploring open zones, like Odyssey or 64, is what I'm getting at. Donkey Kong will make an appearance, but he won't be a main playable character. It'll just be a recurring side character. It'll be $70. And it will. So wait, you just assume all games are 70? Yes. Nintendo games.

Great, yeah. Yeah. It will have a gimmick. I have no prediction on what it is, but when we see it in the trailer, we'll all go, huh, that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I can't wait for you to hear my thoughts on Mario 3D next tomorrow's episode. I can't wait.

How do you feel about it not being an Odyssey type game? I think you're crazy. I hope I'm crazy. Yeah. I mean, there's, I just feel like, all right, let's talk this through. The last major Mario game we got was Odyssey, right? Before that, it was 3D World. Before that, it was the Galaxy Games.

And I feel like 3D World and 3D Land very much feel like a third branch of these type of games. And I think that they are a little, I mean, they're definitely not seen the same, even though I adore those games. But there was a little thing called Bowser's Fury that happened that I think was them trying to meld the gameplay, like the more linear obstacle course-based gameplay of the 3D world games and even to an extent galaxy with something that's more open and it goes one of two ways. They either are like, hey, this is just a test that this is as far as we could take it. So we're not going to go that direction, which I think is more aligned with what you're saying.

I think there's nobody that played Bowser's Fury that's like, oh, this isn't the future. Oh, yeah. So I love that. I think that it's going to be open. I hope so. I think we're going to get that game. right the bowser's fury style like hey this is the prototype for what like a bigger version of this because i desperately want that game and i do think you're right as far as the testing i just don't know

about now like i think maybe that could be a few years into this into the switch two like maybe later in the switch two life cycle and like honestly i'm going off of nothing like this is very much just vibes based i think part of the vibes is like i am looking at mario cart nine as being the open Mario exploration game. I think timing just added up, just like it did last time, for Zelda and Mario to have these big moments for Mario and Mario Kart to have them

at the same time. I think there's no way, in my opinion, that the next big Mario 3D game isn't the biggest Mario 3D game. I hope so. I think that it is, I think they know. And it's going to be hard to outclass Odyssey, but I think they're going to pull it off.

I really hope so. What about Donkey Kong is a non-playable character? This is recurring side character. Yeah, so I mean, I've been saying to stay one that I truly think that the Mario, the Mushroom Kingdom and the Donkey Kong worlds are going to kind of meld in the next 3D Mario game and I stand by it. You saying not a playable character, that's interesting and it goes directly against my prediction. But I have more details that I'll get into to tomorrow. Yeah. Because like the reason why I say non, not playable is just me going back and like looking at the rumors. I remember there was one rumor about I think it was the Mario Odyssey team making a

3D Donkey Kong. The rumors were a 2D Donkey Kong game, which I would love. Well, I think there was a different rumor, maybe it was a different studio that was working on a 3D like Donkey Kong game, but it got shut down. Or like it got internally canceled, right? It didn't progress that far. So that just made you wonder like, are we actually going to get that? Like are we actually going to get a 3D platformer where you're playing as Donkey Kong

ever again? I just can't let myself dreamt him. I really can't. Oh, exciting. times. But that is my 3D Mario prediction, but I have more predictions for October. This is month six for you, right? This is month five. Five, okay. This is a continuation of the indie reclamation. Ooh. Hades 2. It's out 1.0 and it's coming to Switch 2 at launch. And then also Doom the Dark Ages. Yeah, no question about that. I think, yeah, Hades 2 will be on

Switch 2 at launch. Doom the Dark Ages is a little more questions about. Fair enough. And then we move on to month six, halfway through the year. This is November. We finally get Pokemon Zah, aka Pokemon Z.A. It is a November title. Along with that, we get RingFit Adventure 2.

Okay. That is also a November title. That's a good poll. Box that in, in like the Black Friday stuff, right? Like, you can buy that for mom, buy that for dad. Something tells me year 1's early for that, but it's a good pull. It's one of the more successful

titles on the Switch 2. That people would forget about and not ever give credit. So yeah. Like Super Sex 1, I think for Nintendo, I think you see that success and go, okay, we got to capitalize on this. We got to jump on that. And I think it's been quite a few years. And I think even in the early years of the Switch 2, that's something that I

think they can, that gives Switch 2 a different kind of value. Right? Like that health, like, workout style of thing, it gives people another reason to want to buy it. And so I think it is like kind of an additive thing that could be beneficial to have in year one. Along with that, Switch Online, I'm not talked about that yet, because they've done nothing to it until now.

In November, in month 6, Switch Online increases the price of the expansion pack from $50 to $70. And this is going to be my most ballsy prediction. It also introduces a Game Pass style subscription service that lets you play a selection of Switch 1 first party games. Holy shit, you're insane. I know. You're insane. A player's choice. You're going to get to play a selection

to switch one games, but we're going to look at that selection and be like, oh, damn, it's kind of whack. We're going to be like, this ain't the selection I want. Like, where are the bangers? We're the better ones. You're going to get a bunch of them. You're going to get the Toad puzzle game. You're going to get Mario Card 8 Deluxe maybe in there. But you are going to be

missing some of the bigger ones that you would want on there. I don't see it. Nintendo just makes too much money from these games. They still sell well. they'd want the subscriptions but I think they have other ways to get the subscriptions

they still have old systems they still have the DS they still have we're gonna see GameCube before we see Switch yeah but how can we how can we get them prices how can we bump up that price you think people are gonna pay $70 for a DS? Yeah I do

you think so? Yeah when you're also getting all the other stuff yeah fair enough I do have more for November Sonic Racing Crossworld comes out, it launches on Switch 2. Yep.

I buy that too. And then the indie reclamation continues with the haunted chocolate tier, which I believe is the game coming from the Starkey Valley Devs. It's like their new kind of management thing. Cool. Where I think you're running like a chocolate shop, like a haunted chocolate shop. Really, Willy Wonka, I guess. Willie Wonka, yeah.

Okay, okay. So that's month six. Six months, the first six months of the Switch 2 starting in June. I think I might have a different strategy for my, my, my, It's like my 12 months. I can't wait to hear it. Yeah. Because I think I want to start February.

I think when I start now, because I got some things to say. So, yeah, well, so you think things are going to happen between now. Well, I know some things are going to happen. I mean, like, we know Pokemon presents this next month. So, like, we're going to get some songs. You know, whatever, whatever. But anyways, uh, we're going to take a quick break.

I'm not going to lie. This is where things start to get boring. All right? We know Nintendo. Nintendo, obviously they come with the bangers when it matters. But a lot of the time,

it's chilling, right? Like, what do you think about the Nintendo slate of games? Like, you think about month to month, like,

how often are you getting those bangers? maybe like four months out of the year you get something that's like fucking like oh shit here we fucking go but then like the rest of the months yeah you're getting a remaster you're getting a small thing you're getting nothing like you're like it's I try to keep this as realistic as possible

so we get to December and guess what you're getting nothing. You're getting nothing December maybe some third party titles I don't know the last time maybe you know Tim like how often does Nintendo ever release anything for his party in December I feel like maybe that jump rope game well no I mean smash brothers oh you're right

so every once in while there is there is something or even like late November I want to say they'll come out with stuff but yeah it's I don't think it's ever my choice I think those are the games that we're supposed to come out earlier but then kind of like make it through but smash brothers at least twice has come out December both melee and ultimate well this December Zena Blade 2 is December December 1st

yeah so yeah December you get nothing maybe some third party titles maybe like maybe that's when you get Assassin's Creed Shadows Maybe that's when you get, like, the division. I don't, I just keep listing Ubisoft games because I read an article that were like UBosoph's like, yeah, we're released. Well, they didn't say, but it's reported that like they're releasing, um, hell of shit on Switch 2. Yeah, I mean, we have UB, we have Square. I think Square is going to go hard. That's one of the ones I didn't get to think about as much before this of like what Square things are going to happen because you're going to get, I think exclusive shit.

I don't. Oh. I mean, think about that. Like, Square's entire thing now is, yeah, we've been fucking up doing exclusives. Like we got to go multi-platin. That's the strategy going forward. I guess I'm thinking about that in regards to like the big AAA stuff. But I,

so you don't think if we get something that is, let's say, octopath size. I think that they have learned even with things like Octopath that started Switch exclusive, eventually they go to other platforms and they sell really well. So it's like why jump around that? You know what I mean? I think the only chance of something being not only chance, the most likely chance of exclusive on Switch 2 from Square would be if it was a remake of

Chrono Trigger or no but even then go multi-platt like VolvoVans Z6 go multi-plat okay well let's move on from December into the new year it is month 8 it is January again like I mentioned all right we're going to do remasters

they're going to fill in some months because you got to pace yourself out as Nintendo and so in January it's finally happening you're getting the punchout game for the Wii remastered I mean I would not be mad at all that was an amazing game it's one that like I think amazing you hear about it

I actually haven't played it I've always wanted to right but like I hear about it all the time and it's one that I'm like yeah like bring that back like bring it to the people that didn't get to play it on the Wii and like I think it works for the JoyCon like a January remaster would probably fit it so well

as far as trying to bring it back forward to yeah make it work with the JoyCon as well I can see it I do feel like we're gonna start getting like because I brought this up during the Switch to reveal conversation. But like, we're at an interesting place where the Switch 1 was able to ride

and fill out its library so much with Switch with Wii U ports, right? Or remasters or enhancements or whatever. We're at a point now that we're out of those. And I think that the replacement for that is going to be third parties, this go-round, which is good for Nintendo and

for gamers as well. But I'm interested in like, what's the next round of remasters? Because Nintendo has such a legacy and a deep library. of titles that it can go back to. So we, we often see, uh,

the previous generations kind of like coming up in, in different forms of remaster. Like, think back to when the PS3 went through that phase of like coming out with the trilogy packs of like every set of PS2 games remastered. You know, there's the Ratchets and the Jacks's and the, uh,

Prince of Persians like all of that stuff. All of those, right? Um, what's that going to be for the Switch 2? Is it going to be 3DS games? Like we're, Or is it going to be, are we going to continue to see GameCube games? The Wii era, things like that.

Like, I don't know. It's an interesting time period. And you had to tap into something different, right? Because, like, I don't think, and I'm curious on what you think, right? I don't expect to see GameCube, like Nintendo Switch Online. You can play the GameCube Library sort of thing, right? I think that might be the era that and some of those Wii games that you tap into as far as remastering and bringing forward.

But you're right. as far as at a certain point you run out. And then I think you then move on to doing like more of the maybe switch game collections, depending on how you handle the transition. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's so, until we know that piece of the puzzle,

it's hard to really have accurate predictions. Because like what is Breath of the Wild and Tears the Kingdom going to look like? Like, is that a new skew that we need to buy or like what? Is it a collection? Is it separate? Like there's so many like just questions we have there. In terms of what you said about seeing GameCube on.

on NSO. I am so torn because on one hand I'm like, hell no, they'll never do that. There's so many GameCube games they can from the ground up

remake or just slightly remaster and just put out and call the day. Paper Mario 1000 year door. Amazing example of take a great game game, make it visually better. It still holds up, right? Yep.

There's dozens of those games. Dozen of those games that they can do from the GameCube era for sure. But, I also think that as hard as it is to hear this, as we get older, what's retro becomes more and more recent in our minds at a certain point if we're not already there.

The GameCube is straight up a dinosaur. And so the value of those games, quote unquote, I do think gets the point of like, oh yeah, it's on NSO. And they're going to drip feed it. But I also don't think that that stops them from putting out remakes and re-releases in different ways. Yeah, because I was going to say, like, okay, when we're thinking about the GameCube Library,

what are the games left that you can remaster? I mean, there's a lot, right? You get as niche as Eternal Darkness, but then you can also get into... But, like, what are the big ones for Nintendo? Where it's like, before we put out a Nintendo Switch Online GameCube thing, we need to remaster this to make sure we get the money out. Because, like, Metro Prime and Paper Mario 1,000 Year and a Winwaker feel like, oh... Those are the three of the big ones.

Yeah. The number one best-selling GameCube game of all time. Super Smash Brothers Melee. And Melee has so much special juice to it that like I do think at some point we're going to get a melee, I don't know, remake might be far, but like remaster. Like I think we will

get the bones of melee, but it's going to look better and be modern and be sold for a premium price. Which if you handle that well, could be cool. I think that I worry about is like, because melee means a lot to the competitive community. Nintendo doesn't really give a fuck. about the competitive community.

If you are Nintendo and you're going to either remaster or remake melee, do you end up doing too much to it? I don't think so. Do you make it play like smash ultimate? No. Do you change the core of what it is? I think that if they're going to do it,

the point would be to like... Maintain. I think it would be more like widescreen. You know what I mean? I hope so. And just like resolution and stuff like that, which would be freaking cool. Other GameCube games,

I mean, there's we start getting into like the more niche weird stuff but like F0 GX beloved game that would be amazing I don't think it's going to be the biggest seller in the world but again we're starting to get to the point where I'm like I can see this on NSL

like I can see them doing it there's there's wave race there's a Kirby's Air Ride Star Fox Assault Star Fox Adventures um Star Fox Adventures I think actually would be right for a for a remake for a remake like remake's a big term but just like a remaster remaster to some extent

like a Metroid Prime style remaster. Okay. Yeah, there's a lot of games. But again, I think a lot of them as well, because we already have some of the heaviest hitters with Wind Waker and Thousand Year Door, things like that that that we already mentioned.

We've ticked off a lot of things. I think melee is one of the biggest ones that I do think is still going to happen. There's Fire Emblem, Path of Radiance. My favorite Fire Emblem. Yeah, my favorite Fire Emblem. Yeah. Well, speaking of GameCube, right?

for a month 8 in January. I had punch out we remaster, but also Resident Evil 4 remake. Okay. And that's another one that I think could come out whenever. Flam dunk, it's going to be on the Switch too at some point. Yeah, like I only put it in, like I originally had it maybe in spring of next year, but I

moved it up because Resident Evil what, 9, I could also see in Springham next year and I don't, you don't want to release those on top of each other. Maybe this is fall. Maybe Resident Evil 9 this fall. Like, I have no idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How were that falls?

I think you're going to get a Resident Eagle 4 remake on Switch 2. Moving on to month 9, February, Pokemon. You're getting a spinoff game. Don't get too excited for it, though. It's not going to be one of them ones. You're going to get maybe like a mystery dungeon, you know, something along those lines.

That tier of Pokemon spin-off. I love that as soon as I said that, Tim started Googling. I'm very excited to see what you're looking up here. Pokemon's 30th anniversary is 2026. I like that. Gen 10 of Pokemon is next up. I think that comes out, I think that comes out next year for sure.

But I also think that's like, that's later in the year. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it would have to do. But then like, I do think that is a good point though of like, all right, Gen 10 next year, let's say it comes out and fall. If you are to release a Pokemon thing in the spring for the 30th anniversary,

what would that be? Or you just keep it simple, stupid. NSO. Oh, you think, oh, that could be cool. It's time to celebrate. You finally released those years. You can finally play legally. Pokemon, Fire Red, Leaf Green, and all of them on the Nintendo Switch online system.

I like that. I like that. But yeah, I think you get a Pokemon thing. February also, because Pokemon presents usually years every February. It is always, yeah. So I think maybe there's something you launch day and date. It could be a smaller thing. Again, could be a maybe not a mystery dungeon.

But I guess that could happen. Like what you're saying, the, hey, all of the old Pokemon classic games are on Game Boy and Gayboy Advanced, boom, available now on NSO. That's out today. And then maybe like a month or two later, you really, maybe you do like a party pack of like Pokemon, uh, stadiums and puzzle league and like a bunch of old Pokemon games that people pinball, a bunch of old ones that people love package it into one thing and like sell it. I mean, I would love, like, this sounds, I'm such a fucking chill for saying this, but I don't

give a fuck. I would love if they actually put out a, you have to buy it, physical game that was a collection of every Pokemon game up until, I don't know, whatever, though, they're comfortable giving us. But like, even let's just say, even if it was just the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance era, I'd hope it would also then get into DS.

So like, get us through Gen 5, like, Jen's one through five and get it all in one collection, which like I, but you got to give it love. Are you talking about Mainline? Yes. Cool. Okay. And like, I want them to give this collection love.

Treat it like it's a special important thing. It's 30th anniversary. the Ninja Turtle Cowabunga collection that came out last year, two years ago, the rare replay. Like just a collection that there's like so much love being put into the presentation of it all. Like that's what I want. Sonic Origins, which had a lot of issues.

But overall, it's like, oh, y'all cared about this. I want that for both. I would want that also. I almost feel like that would be too, almost too much for them. Yeah. Right? Like it's such a dream idea that I'm like, I don't know if they'll actually give that to us.

Yeah, but it's, it's, like I feel like they flirted with it enough. I never thought we would ever see the Game Boy games come back in any way, shape, or form. And so when they put them on virtual console in the 3DS, that shocked me. And the fact that they even let you, like, trade between the virtual console versions and like battle and stuff like that. I was like, what the fuck?

So I feel like at some point they're going to change their ways. They might still make us pay for it, you know? An insane price for what will undoubtedly just be ROMs on a. carts, you know? Yeah. But if there's a way for you to like actually play through and like transfer the Pokemon between the games and all that stuff like with me, I'll pay the money for that.

Like that would be freaking awesome. Um, and then also for month nine, it k. February, uh, this is to the indie reclamation. Earthblade. Earthblade comes out. Man, you have a banger year plan for Indies. Oh yeah. You're very hopeful.

Oh yeah. I mean, honestly, Earthblade might be the one pushing it. But for the other ones like, you know, uh, Toby Fox said Delta. is coming this year. Oh, did he? Yeah. Okay. Well, the next two chapters of Delta Rune are coming this year.

So he did say that, uh, Hollow Night Silk song. I mean, come on, man. Give it to me, please. Okay. Give it to me. And then like, Hades too, like, that feels right. I don't know. Yeah, Hades too, I think, I think that's the easiest one.

I do think the next 12, if not the next 18 months are going to be a bangor 18 months for Indies. I think all these games are coming out in the next 18 months. That's awesome. we then move on to March in March you're going to get new Super Mario Brothers Wii Master

the Wii game but it's remaster Thank you thank you for that thank you hey I love it right I feel my only hesitation

with some of your your polls here when it comes to the remasters is I think that Nintendo's going to have a good enough lineup between their first party and third party stuff

in its first year that I don't know that we're so quickly going to need to jump into filling in the gaps with things like that. But I think it's a good poll that Mario's New Super Mario Brothers,

we will get repackaged and sold somehow. And I'm also thinking, I think I'm also thinking in the sense of like some of these months, when I get to like December, January, for example, it's like you're not going to release anything major. But like a January would be like the prime spot for, I think if you want to remaster,

have like a smaller thing to put out. March, honestly, March does get great games a lot of the time. But then I'm, when I look at my April May here, right? Like April then, I have 2D Zelda maker, which is a dream. Like, that is one of those dream ones, right? But like, I think this comes back to the mouse functionality of, I think that would work so well for it. And I think that then tease you up later in the year for a major Zelda game. If you want to do an Ocreeno Time remake, I mean, bounce off of that. Or that is the Zelda game that year. Yeah. Yeah. And I do think that, uh, the maker franchise, we have not seen the end of it.

I don't know what the Mario version would look like though I don't know what they're going to do if it's A new Mario Maker Yeah Mario because With the mouse support and all that I feel like they're gonna Want to continue Mario Maker

But I don't know that it You add the Wonder Art style Yeah I guess they could do that That would be enough for them to call a Mario Maker 3 Maybe that and then like I don't know we don't I mean Maybe there's something that comes out

the next year that then feeds into it as well Like even if you want to figure out a way to do the next 3D Mario style in a Mario Maker. Like, they've done weird shit like that. I forget what the one I'm thinking of is in Mario Maker 2. That's like, do they have

a... It was like a 3D world looking. 3D world looking type of thing. Yeah. So that's April. And then my final month, month 12 is May. Zeno Blade Chronicles 4. Happened in baby. I don't know if it's too soon. I've not followed Monolith Soft that closely. Monolith Soft is working on

a new big RPG for the Switch 2. So yeah, I don't know about timing on that, but it will happen. And I don't know if it'll be Zinel Blaine Carnicles for because I'm not familiar with the story. Prolicious 2595 says, give us a Kirby in the forgotten land too. I have not thought about that, but that team's got to be working on something. Oh yeah. And earlier when you said we're going to get a Kirby or a Yoshi, like, you're not talking about a forgotten land.

No. I'm talking about a 2D Kirby. Yeah. But that's for sure going to happen. I know I can feel it in my core. Yeah. But the team that made that game, they're working on another bang. They're cooking.

Like, I don't know if it's going to be forgotten land too. I would love that. But yeah, I think that they're going to, I think their next game is going to be special. Another 3D Kirby platformer, I think is a slam dunk. Yeah. I think for sure has to happen. Kirby and the Forgotten Galaxy says slip crit. Oh, that'd be so fucking sick.

Hell yeah. Yeah, those are my 12 months. I love that. That was great. A lot of fun. A lot of solid predictions. I don't think all of them are going to happen. But I do think that you're on to something.

You're right in on the right track. I definitely like try to mix up the layups with like some, you know, half court threes in there. Yeah. And so like, but it all comes from a sense of you got to do something with these things. Nintendo Switch online, like them doing a game pass style thing, I think is for sure a little far-fetched. But they got to do something with it. Like there's no way Nintendo Switch online just stays what it is. Maybe it does.

I mean, you say that, like, and I don't want to go too long on this point here, but I've said since day one, Nintendo Switch Online is actually a great deal and that's only gotten more and more true because they've just only added more and more games and at the point now that we're running out of things that we're like but where is this but where is that? And I know Donkey Cock 64 is one example

but that is literally one of the biggest examples and if that's where we're at. But I think you still need to continue like you've got to continue giving people things like those incentives you've got to find new ones. I mean I think that how they've been handling the expansion passes for games right

like the Mario Kart, like the boosters that we got. Like that, that's dream stuff for getting more from games. And I think that Nintendo's learned a lot this generation about different experiments on, they've clearly done different experiments on how DLC can work for their games. And I don't think that they've fully mastered it yet. And I think that going to Switch 2, they're going to have a better, their heads wrapped around it a bit more. Because, yeah, you look at like how they did it for Zelda,

Breath of the Wild compared to Mario Kart compared to Mario Odyssey, which is the fucking travesty. Hey, here's Luigi with some balloons. What fuck you're talking about? I forgot that happened. I'll never forget that happened. I'll never forget. I'll only get to some super chats here before we exit the show. And remember tomorrow, we're going to do the flip of this where I give blessing my predictions.

I really can't wait for yours. I'm excited. I got some good, I mean, I don't think I have anything. Look, I've been talking about Switch 2 for a long time. Yeah. Mainly to you. Yeah. So it's not only that you're going to hear much that I haven't said before.

That's a tough thing about making this is like there is so hard to think of original ideas now. Yeah. Where we've talked. Yeah, we've talked about this so much. We've like seen other content creators talk about it. And it's like, you know, with Nintendo, there's only so far you can go with trying to figure out like, all right, they're going to make a new donkey call. Like they're going to put out new Mario. Like they're going to make a Mario maker like it.

You know, I'm excited for the shit that we don't know. Like the new ideas, the new IP, like what spinoffs of friends? franchises we know are going to happen because that shit is always unpredictable like there's no way to like nail them of oh of course you're going to make this thing i do have some the details though are things that i haven't said before oh i'm excited about that very excited for a bunch of them but that's tomorrow that's not today joe ferelli says by adding a built-in mouse it opens the door for third party mouse support razor logitick about to go nuts that's true like that could be like if they do support that and allow that that could be awesome yeah i wonder how far that goes like because then are you

Would you also do keyboard support? Maybe not. No, because we're finally at the Tim Getty's dream. Nintendo's giving me everything I've ever asked for. It's happening. I'm not going to be the only sicko. This is the conversion point, everybody. Welcome to my world.

See, I then also wonder, like, when you talk about third-party mouse support, is it going to be the thing of like, oh, but you can't use your regular mousees. Of course. Like, Launchetech has to make the switch mouse. Yeah, it has to be that. I mean, but then, you know,

give it a month or two and a Genki or 8 bit dough will come up with some solution that'll mostly work Yeah Kabob says Splatoon 4 Sicko Swear by JoyCon mouse controls Yeah I mean Splatoon 4 we haven't even talked about that I had that written down and I deleted it

Yeah but like that's gonna happen and yeah that's gonna probably Be great with the mouse Hopefully Matt Hargott says I predict a camera add on for the top USBC port bringing Pokemon Go and similar revenue to their own digital storefront. I think this also means living room AR given Nvidia T2-3-9 computer vision.

Interesting. I mean, Nintendo always gets weird. Like, think about when, for all of us that are like, oh, man, I miss weird Nintendo. We got Labo. Oh, that was another thing I was thinking about, yeah. We're talking about like third party mouse support of like, where can you take, I feel like there is Labo adjacent type shit that can happen

with that kind of support that like, again, I can't put myself in the minds of the wizards over there. but they got to be thinking of something sick for that stuff. Do Sixthel says, do they add GameCube or DS to the NSO offerings or keep adding to the existing libraries and remastering GameCube games? We have to get there soon, man.

I just, I think that, like, I don't think that them remastering games is going to stop them from putting the games on NSO. I mean, talking with you here has shifted my opinion a bit of, yeah, like, you've done a lot of the major GameCube games already. and the rest of the GameCube library could maybe fit well on NSL. We didn't even mention Pickman,

which has already been remastered. The first thing, yeah. The second one, all of the Pickman. Damn. We have all the fucking Pikmin. Yeah. So I think, yeah, at this point, like, yeah, maybe it does come to NSO.

And I'm even thinking, like, to N64 and stuff, it's like, Ocreen of Time is available on NSO, but, like, that didn't stop them from putting it out on 3DS, right? And, like, timing on that's a little bit weird, but like Yeah, because I came on 3, yes, like a lot of years earlier. Yeah, yeah, but still, like, even like

with virtual console or whatever they were doing back then, it's like you could buy the game for $5 or you could buy it for $40 or $50, whatever it was, and they still allowed you to do that because they know that we will. And it's also not stopping us from asking for a new Ocarina. Yes, exactly. An Ocarina remake.

Demon Hacker says, will current gen sports games be on Switch 2? Things like WWE? I think so. Yeah? Yeah. I mean, what? they still make FIFA first,

even though it's the same thing every single year. And Simon Cardi always gives it the same score and review. But I would hope that Switch 2 would mean that maybe you're getting more updated and like more comparable versions of those games to what we get on current gen. Fingers crossed, I know it's like one of those wishes that's going to be like, uh, nope, it's still trash.

It's still not as good. But I hope, yeah, WW2K 25 or 26 whenever we get there, that'd be sick. That'd be awesome. Yeah. I'm expecting. the switch to have maybe not right away,

but I think within a year, it'll be on track with third party games coming out alongside the other systems. And I don't think that the, I know for a fact, it won't be the best place to play them. But I don't think it's going to be

as much of a trash fire as Mortal Kombat on Switch. I hope so. Yeah, we'll be somewhere in between. Let's just hope it's on the good side. Like, if I can buy a Switch version

and be like, no, it's going to play well. You know, might not look as good, but I know what's going to actually function, then we're going to be living in a dream world. And then like the good version of the world.

Although I feel like by the time we get to the second half of the Switch life cycle, like when the PlayStation 6 in the Xbox, whatever you call it come out, I think we then get back to the place of like, yeah, this shit's going to be rough. Yeah. So. But guess who's still going to be putting out Bangor games? Nintendo. Exactly.

Zeke speak says, uh, switch was my OG indie machine. Once I got a steam deck and found that all my favorite games looked and played better for me, the only changes if Switch 2 got decent hard. otherwise it's first party games only for me. Yeah. I mean the thing is, Indie games sell incredibly well on Switch. Still.

Yep. So options. Good. Listen, the indie reclamation is happy. I like that you're branding. Switch is the number one place where the indie games are going to be played. You know,

you're going to want to take it there first. You're going to get so many copies sold. Yeah. I love that. A couple years. Captain Coots, great name. As someone who beat Mario Odyssey for the first time this morning during games

daily, I want Mario Odyssey 2, basically. Same. Yeah. I love that you're not asking for much, but you're also asking for the most. Yeah. Right. Because neither us think it's going to be Mario Odyssey, too. I don't think it's going to be Mario Odyssey too. I don't either, but I honestly wouldn't be mad if it was. Oh, dude, I'd be so happy if it was. I would be so fucking happy

with Mario Odyssey, too. Yeah, I mean, I actually think strategically, that'd be very smart for them to do, especially on the Switch too. Yeah. Right? My Odyssey sold incredibly well, clearly reviewed incredibly well. And I think that there's so much more that they could do. Think of the kingdoms, Tim. Think of like Hyrule Kingdom. Think about Donkey Kong Kingdom.

I don't know what they call it over there. They call it, well, there's the Donkey Kong country, but there's also the D.K. Isle. You say Kong? I said Congdom. He's cooking. He's cooking. He's cooking. Yeah, I mean, you know, I remember playing through Odyssey and in the initial

play through like before pre before everyone's hands of everybody and like we knew all the secrets and stuff and like you know we get to like the final area in that game i remember when you like are pulling up the map and stuff like you see delfino island from mario sunshine stuff like that it was just like breaks my heart i never got there so yeah maybe i'm starting to sell myself stop hoping don't know we're not doing this again we're not doing this again i watch so many theory videos uh uh yo shoshi yoshi yoshy dad 11 says what about the announcement of GTA 6 coming to the Switch 2, but only playable via cloud streaming and

exclusive to Japan. Exclusive to Japan. You think a GTA exclusive to Japan? Yeah, the cloud streaming stuff, I'm interested if that's going to continue on the Switch 2. I guess a lot of the cloud streaming stuff was exclusive to Japan, so I guess that's where you're pulling that way. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know. But I could see it. I don't know about G. 6 coming to Switch 2, but I'm sure they'd want it to. But I don't know. You think Nintendo would want it to, Rockstar would want to. I'm sure both

would want it to for sales, but yeah, there's something about that I don't feel like that one's going to happen. At least not right away. Chris Rock 90 says, will Streetfronters 6 and tuck in on Switch 2 give a boom to the fighting game community? No. Yeah, I think

that would be good, but I don't think that would like shift the landscape. I think the fighting game community, when it comes to tournaments when it comes to that stuff, like it's still going to be primarily you're playing on console or PC. Yeah. But it'd be neat. I would love play Tekkenade on Switch? Garrett says Sonic Mega

Collection too. With all the renewed hype for Sonic and co, why not bring it back new and improved? Getting some type of collection of the 3D Sonic games I think is inevitable. I just don't know what format and when. And I also think that they're going to take their time if they have the opportunity. I think they're going to, my

prediction is it's Sonic Heroes being remastered or remade or whatever. And that's going to be testing the water for is there an appetite for this? Or there's just a lot of very loud people. yeah i agree with that yeah wholeheartedly um

then last one we got rogue force saying do you think there'll be a native voice chat i'm not expecting a major anytime soon like i don't think at launch of switch two we're gonna get like a totally revamped n-so that like yeah maybe i mean maybe that's one of those things that you get a bit later into but like isn't there already

didn't they finally add the native voice set some years ago i have no idea man it's the thing where nintendo just i don't know they just don't have a handle on that kind of stuff because I remember it being the you had to download the Nintendo app on your phone and then voice chat through that but then I think like I want to say it was like Fortnite or something like around that time you could just like talk into a microphone and then like it work um my my wish would be for a party system let me start a party with friends hop in there voice chat do all that stuff the reality of it is like one Nintendo doesn't have like a good hold of that but then also

I don't think they need it. Like it, they got through a whole switch generation without having that stuff. And I think they can get through another one. And like people just accept that, hey, this is Nintendo. I do think that they're going to take online more seriously than they ever have,

which isn't hard. But I think that they have to if they're going to be bringing third party games as heavily this gen as I expect them to. But on top of that, I said this during the reveal thing. But this is their first Mario Kart built from the ground up with online really in mind. like modern online in mind, because Mario Kart 8, like, it had it.

It was just like, that was 2013 logic. I think that this new Mario Kart is, it needs to have a lot more focus on it because I think the pandemic even proved, like the number spiked of people playing Mario Kart online. And it worked. It's not the best thing, but it did work. And I think that this,

for the next Mario Kart, it needs to do more than just work. I think it needs to be like a, killer feature of the game. Yeah, I think for sure. Like it, we can't do communication errors. We can't do like, you know, uh, like have it being unreliable. I think it'll, I think, I think they'll nail that stuff though. Like, I think the online and this is going to come back to buy me in the ass, there's no way the online for, uh, uh, Nintendo Switch 2 for Mario Kart is going to be broken. Like, there's no way it can be because I do think bears laughing in the background. You got 24.

players, like it's a new one, like it is such a big feature. Online is different now than it was in 2013, whatever Mario Cardi original came out. It's a different time. You got to figure that shit out. I don't think voice chat though. And remember, a couple months ago, Nintendo did that big network test. Yeah. They're doing something with online. I had that in mind too of like that whatever MMO weird shit they're working on coming out in a full version. But I think from the vibe, it seemed like that was a further thing away. That seemed like a, like, you know, maybe a game that's a few years, if it's an MMO or whatever. But you're right as far as like the online, what you're doing with online infrastructure, like, they're testing shit and they got to figure that shit out. Yeah. But I still think, at least from a game like Mario, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, saying weird things. They don't want, they don't want, they don't want, they don't want you talking to a Mario, they don't want, what's that, why is this Mario saying weird things on the, internet Nintendo why I trusted you like no they don't want that shit they're scared oh man if you want that shit maybe discord comes to switch that'd be sick I think that that I think that

to me that's an example of like and I hope that it happens very soon and I hope that that's part of the rollout like that to me is Nintendo taking it seriously like you need to play with the the rest of the big boys how they play right so the answer is already there don't fuck this up Nintendo please don't mess this up why why you say that Mario to my son. I thought you were singing that song the TikTok song. Oh, I know which what you're talking about. Let us know in the

comments below what your predictions are for the Nintendo Switch 2's first year. Tomorrow we're going to do the flip of this where I tell blessing my thoughts on year one of the Nintendo Switch 2. Until next time though, strap in for an insane stream where the boys are going to

see how far they can weighmo. There's no way this ends well. No, man. They're going to get But it's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. Check it out. If you're on Twitch, stay right where you are. If on YouTube, you need to jump over to the other video.

Until next time, love you all. Goodbye.
