And Greg Miller. Hi, Tim. We just reacted to the Capcom showcase for February 2025, mainly focusing on Monster Hunter Wilds, but also checking in on a couple other projects, other couple things that Capcom either has cooking or cooked already, but wanted to remind us about again, you know? To go to me, so, hey.

We'll talk about it all. We'll talk about it all. But yeah, we're going to break down everything that we saw, give our thoughts on some things here. Of course, this is the kind of funny games cast.

what today's is going to be about? I sure know because I was also, I went from doing the other thing to a review and about it into here. So I'll do it after this. You still have time to get it in on patreon.com.com. slash kind of funny games.

Kevin, your mic's open. For instance, be part of the show. Some of your thoughts and opinions as YouTube super chats as we go. So if you have any thoughts on the Capcom showcase that we just saw, please Super Chat in and we will get to them.

I see some people. already have. Thank you very much. Yeah, no. The little housekeeping for you. We talked all about the Switch's latest financial numbers, Nintendo's financial numbers over on Kind of Funny Games Daily. Great conversation between me and Bless. Then after

that, the stream was Kingdom Come Deliverance, which was Mike and Andy? No, me and Nick. Nick and Andy, Nick and Andy playing that. First impression. You walked in the room, yeah. What did Nick think of it? Yeah, what did you think? I was playing it. What did Nick think of it? I didn't give a shit about you. I didn't want to do. Can you even pay attention? while Nick is talking to your eye.

Great choice, Mike. He's got a lot of his name. I thought he would bring something insightful and Kevin are just black. Yeah, yeah. Andy cared so much more than either of us. At one point, we look over and we're like, oh, the other character got hurt. And Andy was like, yeah, somebody just walked in.

Yeah, while y'all were talking, a guy walked in that room and they were fighting, you all. And we were both like, oh. Well, you can see that all live if you want to by checking out the gameplay stream of the day. Also, I guess, the most importantly to me, at least today, we did a reaction to the Fantastic Four First Steps trailer. So you can check that out over on YouTube or on the kind of funny in-review podcast feed. If that's more, your jam.

Thank you to our Patreon producer, Seleney Twining, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Karen Littner. Today, we're brought to you by Our Frames, but we'll tell you all about that later. Now it's time. The topic of the show. Tats, Tats, Tats, Tats. Atmosphere River, really is freaking me out right now. Yeah, it's real windy here. in the Bay Area.

So Capcom said they're doing a showcase. You know, we kind of know what to expect from these things. Trash. Whoa. Wow. They've never, never had a good one. He's been right now.

They never had a single good Capcom Spotline showcase, whatever you want to call it. They told us what's going to be here. There was even more things than we expected. But somehow, I feel still I'm let down by what we saw, mainly because they put the Ane Musha logo there. And I wasn't expecting to get too much from it because 2026. the game was just announced. What more can you really say?

We did get the announcement of Ani Musha 2 coming back, which is exciting for me. I didn't expect we were going to get that after the seemingly poor reception of Ani Musha 1 remaster a couple of years back. So that was some news out of this, but really... I'm surprised I made if he was joking. They can hear us.

They can still hear us. Kevin, they can still hear us. Maybe. Mike still... Oh, yeah. They can hear us. Everyone if you can hear us, we're still here. Everyone if you can hear us, we're still here us. The game is can. Keep the podcast going.

We're going to keep the podcast going everybody. San Francisco is being washed away in an atmospheric river, but we will broadcast until we reach the bay, until the water carries us into the ocean of the bay. You know what? Here's the deal. Let's just go through this thing. I mean, does anyone have any top-level thoughts before we go through? What are we doing here? Wow. Why are they doing this in February?

I understand. Sometimes I understand the E3 timing of the Capcom Spotlight. I everybody's doing it Let's see You guys hear me Yeah we hear we hear you know Thumbs up thumbs down Thumbs up

We hear you now Well like yeah During E3 during summer game fest Everybody's doing it Ah might as well do one Right Well it's February Like I

This has got to be a ride To ride the hype of having Onimusha Because they promoted it as Only Mushu being there And then the hype Of hey this is Are there last thing before

Monster Hunter Yeah Come on guys I mean well here's like The bigger question Like is that really how you want to show Monster Hunter off? Like that seems like a post-release kind of like,

hey, y'all, we're still supporting this. The DLC's not here yet, but here's some updates. Like, that did not seem, I know I'm not the audience for it, but that seemed like a very poor presentation of this game. Am I wrong? Well, I don't disagree, but I think we've kind of seen everything the game has to offer already. This is like the seventh time we've seen it.

And at this point, it's like, it's a reminder. just like they remind you Knutzegami My God Audio listeners We're trying to get the studio back On the track A lot of lights

I've never seen a flicker like that That was good at This content Uh So Oh So Some notes just went dead quiet

Something else just turned off That shouldn't be off The AC Okay okay No, it wasn't a good... Tim, so this is a fun conversation, right? Because what we're expecting and what do they want? I would say they want you to know that, hey, you think you...

They want you to know that, hey, you should buy the deluxe edition of Monster Hunter, right? If you haven't already, it's imminent. There's the beta. Your stuff's going to carry over. They want you to go get the Capcom ID, right? Which I immediately did. It has all my... It's just like the last one I did, which I forget who it was.

Get ready. They might blow up. Get ready. A little poofer from... Everybody get ready to run. We don't know. The smoke machine fired up and you're like,

this thing's going to explode. The smoke machine is going to go crazy. God damn. Kevin, you're doing a great job. No one's playing you for this. It's like in the movies when like characters go into an abandoned warehouse

and they turn the power on it all. Oh, man. This is crazy. Like one camera is just not. coming back to life. Also, the streaming room was not affected by this. That's why the audio kept going. But my headphones went dead.

And I was like, I can't hear any audio. So, yeah, what a disaster. Smok machine just going, smoke machine farting over here. I mean, you know, are we reviewing it? Are we putting a kind of funny scale? Because, yeah, the presentation was a two out of ten. It was awful. Right.

Like, this is, we gave him a shot here. Usually you get the emails. We're doing this thing. We're always like, no, we're fine. We get this one. It's like, hey, Onimushia and a monster hunter. thing. It's like, ah, what's the, why not? What fun, bless. You're going to come have fun, but it does just get upset. Sorry. No, no, you're fine. But I still think that like,

probably better viewership than a normal Capcom showcase, because I'm sure we're not the only people who are like, oh, only Musha and Monster Hunter when you hear about that. And then again, whether you walk away being like, that presentation sucked, if you liked Monster Hunter, I think you found stuff in there to be like, well, I'm excited about that. Actually, I'm excited about that. I just think it's a little not cool to, you're right. I get there's more eyes or whatever, but I feel like you then owe it to the people to entertain them a little more or inform them a little bit more. And I think the problem here is like even the announcements they made seems like just weirdly

vague. Like the Oni Musha two thing, just 2025. It's like, we're here, guys. Like that should be a, it's coming next month or like give us something a little bit more tantalizing than that. Because otherwise it feels like they just packaged a bunch of stuff that we already know. Maybe the reason for it coming today is now is when they can get Marvel versus Capcom, fighting collection, whatever, on Xbox.

and like they had that but like all of these things just don't me add up to like this being like this could have been a email yeah and in in real way and it actually kind of feels like they turned an email into something more than it was like to get us to watch which i don't really feel is that great because the monster hunter-walt things was just other trailers have looked better for that like i don't know 100% you're not wrong you're not wrong that that seems weird to me that i think the capcom still treats showcases and presentations like this for the hardest of the hardcore people who are the Monster Hunter people who want to see. I mean, I did pop for, oh, I can customize my tent.

Oh, I can make my secret, my secret different colors. A couple of cool locations we saw, different biomes, you know, that, that gets me excited. But yeah, I'm with you this. Is that not just a 10-minute Vodd though? Is that not just a day, hey, we're uploading this thing to our YouTube that is called Monster Hunter extended look? And especially with no mention of Monster Hunter now and the Monster Hunter Wilds event that's going on right now.

Because what we just saw right here, Bless, reminds me of what we saw last year with Dragas Doglan 2. were on their YouTube channel, they would every, I don't know how many weeks, release like a look into rogue gameplay, and it's a 10-minute thing. A look into warrior gameplay,

and it's like, this is perfect for that situation. Yeah, devil's advocating myself a little bit. Like, I do see the value in this, and I feel like there was multiple things that they showed here that one of us was like, like, oh, shit,

it's like, oh, we already knew about that. But it's like, hey, it's altogether. So now it's like a fresh reminder of things that we may have forgot about, or games that we may have missed out on Kunitsugami being whatever. them like this. And I can buy an Anokami.

Exactly, right? Like a lot of weird choices made here, but like I get it. I just think it's bad. I think my beef with this thing as a whole is that Capcom is still probably my favorite third-party publisher. Wow. That's a big statement. Yeah.

I mean, like when I, when you go through the games that Capcom has put out in the last five years, they've been on fire, right? They have had such a consistent and powerful output of video games. And I don't think, I just don't think they have. Not that they don't have the stuff to have their own showcase. Sure. But I think because they're so supportive of other showcases, it's like you don't really, you don't need your own showcase.

I think one of the points of having your own showcase is there is a, I guess, almost like a way that everything's kind of congealed together of, all right, we watch the PlayStation showcase because there's a community around it. Like all these games kind of like have a same shared energy. And like, if you own a PlayStation, like you want to tune into this thing. We watched the Ubisoft thing because it is, all right, Assassin's Creed, fire, like, there is a vibe to it. The Capcom thing seems at the same time all over the place,

but then also unnecessary because I'm going to go to the PlayStation thing for the Resident Evil game. I'm going to go to the PlayStation thing for the Pragmata game or the Street Fighter. Like, you put all yourself in PlayStation already. So why am I watching these reruns of trailers for your own showcase? I think that's the push and pull and the hard part of it, right? Where I think the Monster Hunter stuff had nuggets in there for Monster hunters, hardest of hardcore and people who like outfits and goofy shit like in their monster

like me, but to package it with, we're also showing you the same trailers that you said it in the front part where you're like, this is the most commercial, people always say showcases and presentations are commercials. This is that most, this is a commercial that's ever been. And commercials can be entertaining.

And I feel like oftentimes the showcases we like are entertaining and are produced in a way for us to, again, be entertained and get informed on things. To what you're saying, Greg, I'm not saying that there was nothing tantalizing about Monster Hunter specifically for the fans, but the presentation of this of having all these like, old trailers, very little new information, and then a multi-minute countdown to like hype up,

now we're getting to the good stuff. And then that's what it is. It really just feels tone deaf to me, like across the board. And like, that is just like, I don't know. There's something about it all that, that it, I feel lessens even other similar, um, showcases. Like people are like, oh, this has a Nintendo direct energy. No, it doesn't. So like, not at all.

I get what you're saying in terms of like the VO and the translation type situation. Sure. but like I think even of like the Sonic Central's that they do and like those are commercial ass commercials of hey look at all the weird licensing things we're doing Sonic's partnering with your mother like it's just everyone on the the Oreos and Greg's mom pulled them together right but it's just like it's insane like they'll be anything but there's an energy to them they know their audience they're speaking to and they're entertaining even though it is just watching oh Sonic's now partnering with Adidas or whatever and you're like okay I guess yeah I think to it like just because I like street fighter doesn't mean I like Resident Evil or Monster Hunter or like your other franchises, right? But if you had, I think if you had exciting things to say about all those things, then it works. Yeah.

But when it is like retreading, oh yeah, remember Ace Attorney? Remember this? Remember that? Then it's like, okay, well, I like some of these things, but I don't like all of these things. And I'm not, I don't want to watch a full stream just to be reminded of a street fighter trailer that I've already seen. I think the thing that this presentation gives to me is more so we're doing it just to

do it as opposed to like having a vision or like idea around it right like if i'm putting myself in the marketing room of all right we're the team that's putting together the capcom uh spotlight thing right it very much feels like a well uvsoft has one EA has one like as capcom let's have our own thing because i'm sure it'll put more eyes on this thing right like i can see how you get there but i wish there'd be somebody higher up on the team that's like wait if we're going to do it though we should make it let's do it right let's learn from our peers this isn't God, what even when you... A play.

I was going to say this isn't even 2015, 17, when nobody knew what they were doing when they started doing these, right? And we've obviously seen terrible ones since then. But there's enough of our peers doing this to look at and see how do they do it interesting. How could we make it more interesting? Yeah, I think that's what they need.

That's my two cents on this one is, I knew what we were going to get into when we put this on the calendar. I remembered last year all of us kind of watching this style. And it's like, yeah, they just need a team member there. That's like, hey, let's make this a little more fun. Let's make this energetic. Let's show what we got and figure out a better way.

Because, yeah, I am coming for the monster hunter. I'll take the ads at the beginning, but just style them up a little bit better. You can do that. And someone over there just hasn't figured it out yet. I can imagine the directive to like, can you make a little countdown thing? I'm being like, for this?

Are you sure? You're right. It does sort of make it seem like there's going to be a large reveal at the end of this countdown. And instead it's the, seventh or eighth time we've seen this video game at numerous different presentations and it's more of what we've already seen it's like we've already done a couple of demo tests we've already had a you know trial period or whatever they want to call it like the alpha build or whatever

people have already played this game and i guess now you got to show us how you're you plan on monetizing it it feels like it was more for shareholders or something to see how this game will actually make money yeah i want to keep time about this. I do want to go through everything I actually talked about, but after a quick word from our sponsor. This episode is brought to you by ORAFraFrames. I'm going to be real.

Y'all made it worth watching, though. Hey, man, that's what we're here for. Thank you, Benny. It's definitely one will never forget when the lights going on, talking in the dark and being wicking out. Easy lighting me. Bees says, Mike, when is your hype level not at a 9?

You're just a hype guy. Oh, Mike's not hype for stuff all the time. Yeah, there's certain things I'm definitely not into it right now. Xbox. Yeah. A little low on some of the Xbox ones. It's right. Yeah.

Snow 13 says, just hopped on the Monster Hunter now train before Wild's launch. Greg is right. The shit slaps already level 34 after like a week. Oh. Get Tim, this thing's so fucking easy. You already mean?

Like, oh, double do XP week. Double do XP. That's really a world of war of warcraft nowadays. You used to have to earn. your mount, Mike, back in the day. You had to really grind to try to ride a damn tiger. Everybody add me on Monster Hunter now. My friend code goes 0884-39178168.

I'll see you out there, hunters. My name is Jean-Viev. Okay. JJ Baseball says this is the games cast we deserve after that showcase. Yes, definitely. Yeah, everything is shutting off. Kyle says the lights off look like Cernie's PS4 Pro v. video.

Remember when they had the silhouette audience? Like mystery sounds, my favorite is for it going to be like the audio listeners, like just here to stop talking all of a sudden and then just start like talking about ourselves. Yeah, oh, it's power sound. Oh, they can hear us, think of here. High voltage says, where is Resident Evil 9?

How long in development do you think it is? I don't think anybody reasonable expected to see RE9 at this event, like we discussed this on Games Daily a couple days ago, like Resident Evil and PlayStation in the last decade, have went hand in hand with big announcements. So I think the state of play that's rumored is a much more likely place to see that.

Now is the positioning of this Capcom spotlight being before a rumored PlayStation State of Played next week. Do you think a Capcom spotlight being right now means that we're not going to see Resident Evil next week? Because otherwise wouldn't you put this after? Because I don't think there's logic to follow here. Why wouldn't you put this after and then be like, hey, here's another,

what's rerun the trailer of Resident Evil 9 again? Yeah. I mean, that would make sense. But I also, again, don't expect. RE9 if there is a state of play next week. But I do think it's a 50-50 chance. Like the game, how long has it been in development? I think it's been for a long time.

Like I think that game is going to be announced if not released this year. So like I think that it will be at a PlayStation event. So we just don't have many of those. I think I'm willing to bet we have a state of play and a showcase this year for PlayStation. And I can see it showing up at one of those. Am I crazy?

No. I think May, June. for like the PlayStation whatever the summer game fest yeah PlayStation event yeah but yeah okay

going through what we saw here they started off talking about my in a street fighter six coming on February 5th tomorrow Elena is next also talking about the Capcom

Cup March 5th bless you are the street fighter guy but this didn't seem to grab your attention too much yeah no I've just been so tech and pilled and like you know

it's been a couple years since Street Fighter and it's it's tough when fighting games can be so demanding of just your brain power that I'm like listen if I go back to street fighter six my muscle memory is going to be all off because I'm doing tech and combos in this thing um but it's cool I love that they're still releasing uh dLC characters my is not one I'm as familiar with him you played like classic three fighter games are you familiar with my well no my's from um the other one S nk Beto Fury oh there you go that makes sense then uh cool the cosplay is crazy that's what I'm saying the cosplay is

You've been seeing the cosplays? Oh, man. Shout out my favorite. I've got to erase my phone. My favorite character. And then Marvel versus Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics coming to Xbox today. Very exciting news.

Love to see this actually get figured out. And then also they started talking about Capcom Fighting Collection 2 coming May 16th and Xbox was just included there with the rest of the console. So to me that kind of implies at least hopefully day and date across all systems, which is best case stereo for these classic collections of games.

Very excited for Power Stone. again nothing new there but like excited to play that game again excited for people to play it for the first time thinking it'd be a really fun stream mike of us just balker yeah i don't know what it is smash brothers energy for a fighting more party fighting than it is um actual skill based and rollback net code gregg you got to have it one more could you want i mean if you're not if you don't have the rollback net code like what are you doing if it's a roll forward you got you got problems man think about the problems there are often games in capcom fighting collection two is in insane, by the way. Because you do have Power Stone 1 and 2. You have Capcom versus

SNK and 2. You have Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, which is great. Which is awesome. And then you also have, I don't know what Plasma Sword is, but you have Project Justice, which is rival schools too. And that game, I've always heard people talk about rival schools and how cool it is. Even as I watched gameplay, I'm like, man, this game looks fucking awesome. And so I can't wait for that. So I get a little hazy on this, but I saw people in the chat kind of reconfirming what at least I expected here. This last game, Plasma Sword. nightmare of of

blistery. Billstein? I don't know. But this seems to be the game that features Hayoto, who was a character in Marvel versus Capcom 2.

There was three characters in Marvel versus Capcom 2 that BB Hood, who's a little red riding hood looking one, the pirate woman. Of course. Ruby Hart.

Hayoto, who were not from any previous game. Oh, and then there was also the cactus, not cactus. Jack, but whatever the fuck the cactus is those are characters that weren't actually from a Capcom game and everyone's

like, what the fuck are they from? But apparently he was from this game that either never came out or there's something up with this. Maybe this is the first time it's releasing. Something like that. I could see him on an arcade cabinet in a Fuddruckers. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. For sure. A mingo. Thank you. Who's this guy with the brain? This guy

who is his name is Gore. This guy in Plasma Sword Nightmare Bill Stein named Gore. I fuck with him. Yeah. I don't know if this is going to show him, but Oh, I don't like him. I don't like the way to look. That's my email. So I'm wrong about BB.

It turns it. It's just made cosplay. Pretty cool. It's like a ball sack. Yeah. You know, I didn't think about it the way it's related to Crang. Yeah. Got them elf ears.

Yeah. It just ruined Gore for me. Then they showed Okami and got me really excited, but I don't know why. You know what I mean? I think we all knew. The moment it popped off. It's like, okay, we're just seeing the trailer again. And like, that's it.

But they showed the trailer. And then, like, also. old games are still available. And now it's better than ever because it's bundled with Kinitzugami Path of the Goddess. Yeah. That game's still available right now.

Has not been delisted? They're not doing that Mario thing. You don't think it did well? Chinichagami? Yeah, you think it's going to get delisted? Oh, no, I'm just saying like it's still out there. No, you know. It can't advertise a game that this is this old.

Especially because they made a big deal about it and then they went into just a montage of a bunch of other. games that are out now. I had a good time with Keny Tugami. If it's on sale, pick it up. That's a fun game. What if it's bundled with a comedy game? Even better. I put like 14 hours, 15 hours into it. I liked it. We got a couple other games announced that are out now already, actually. Dead Rising Remastered, Resident Evil 2 on eye devices, and Ace Attorney Investigation Collection. A reminder, everybody. They're out. They're out there right now. Somebody please buy Resident Evil 2.

The best thing is that then they talked about Onimush and Onimusha 2, and then they told you about the Capcom digital sale in which those games were in it. Yeah, exactly. They're getting so much of mileage out of the games they've already announced and released. Zach's on Super Chatsin saying, I'd rather have a bad showcase with great games than bad games with a great showcase. Capcom has been up the last few years and I don't want to jinx it. See, here's the thing.

I follow the spirit of what you're saying, but we should kind of expect and hope for great games, great showcase. If you got the goods, it's that much easier to show it off in a good way. Capcom has the fucking goods at this point. And if you're not ready to have new announcements, don't do one. It's that simple. I think maybe they're at this point mentally where they go, people are expecting us to do something in February.

And it's like, it's okay. You don't have to. Like, it's all right. Just push us off till next year or whatever. You know, we've seen like, you know, every once in a while, BlissCon decides to not have one that year because they just don't have anything to drop. But, you know, it's okay to not have a showcase because this was easily. I think one of the worst ones we've seen in a long time.

Yeah. Yeah, a lot of these I could have seen being just like, every individual thing could be its own blog post slash like social post of like all the streetfighter stuff. I would have been down just to read that on Twitter, right? Like the Kunisugami bundle with Okami. I don't even know if the bundle's new or not. Assuming that it's new, assuming that it's new, like,

just put that on Twitter, man. It's okay. Last year it was a lot of words. I don't even remember last. Oh, every Capcom Spotlight. Yeah, last year wasn't good. See, but last year's, I agree, was a lot worse, mainly because of the timing. That was surrounding all of the summer game fest showcases.

And I think we had just watched, like, Xbox's goaded one. And then we watched this Capcom nonsense, dude. Was that the one where they had on a piece of paper? Sorry. generation. Wow. Yeah. Remember deep down?

I do remember deep down. I do remember deep down. Yeah. Then we saw Ani Mushaway of the sword, uh, truncated version of the trailer. Um, Joshua in the YouTube chat says, that bundles in you. I bought it like a month ago. Oh my God. I was really spit out.

What a fucking day. God. It's so worth it. I mean, I haven't seen that in a long time. You got a back to back when I choke on the ice cube. What if my nose is the frog. not new. It went out my nose. Oh my God.

Yeah, the Yanni Mousha stuff, like, don't think bad was said. It's just like, all right. Like, I thought it was presented very weird. And I would give that weird in the like, endearing way. Like, that was kind of me-mey of seeing the different people pop in and like the way they're being shot and stuff. It's like, why are you doing this?

I just needed some more substance. I needed like that's the shot of one of them that appreciates. I wanted one of them would be holding a pistol. Like fucking neon. But yeah. But yeah, I'm talking about the new protagonist, which, I mean, like, they didn't say before, but like you saw. So it's like we didn't need to know that. Kyoto setting, cool, whatever.

I'm still hyped. And then, yeah, Niyan, Musha, two, Samurai's Destiny being remastered is great. And that's one step closer to Demon Seed. Now, you said that's not your favorite. Your least favorite is your least favorite? Is it bad? No, no, no. Definitely not.

I honestly, I think that most people would probably prefer it, um, the original trilogy. But it's a little bit more of an RPG. there's just there's a lot more like leveling systems and stuff and there's multiple playable characters and it was just it was a different um main protagonist which like I'm a Samino Ska boy so that he was in one and three um so yeah I'm hopeful we get three because three's bad shit insane three involves time travel with John Reno

John Reno John Reno John Reno I don't want It's amazing like how weird it all is but maybe one day then yeah a Capcom digital sale cool cool

save that money and then Monster Hunter Wilds showcase Greg I'm gonna let you handle this here Hey everybody's me Greg Miller they did a Monster 100 Wilde showcase They had a two minute countdown for it So we could all get hype Oh we got in we got what a new present

Gene Reno Okay okay not a Janerino We got it we did get a new video to kick off Right we had a new video of them walking through Fighting some stuff that looked cool Not the best presentation of it Or yeah like fine It was great

Then it was mainly, yeah, focusing on open beta talk, the second open beta. You'll get two shots at it Thursday, the 6th, Thursday, the 13th, both of those will go through Sunday. The big thing from it, your character data from it will transfer over to the full game. If you did the other one, it'll transfer over two. There's also a pendant for the weapons. If you participate in it, you can get something there. And then it was into a whole bunch of other little, again, this whole thing felt like side dishes without a man. course. I think that was one of the big things, Tim, is we didn't feel like, what was the reason

to be here? And we had a bunch of side stuff of like, okay, cool, you know, a pendant for this, this footage you're seeing right now, confirmation of a new monster, some old monsters, here's how you can go through and, you know, customize your secret. Here's how you can customize your camp. There's going to, you know, the differences, what for this new beta right, you're going to have the flagship monster, the Arkveld, you're going to have, uh, the, ability to go in during this one and do the training stuff. So it's some new content and the old content from before. There was talk of the private lobbies, talk of the online single player mode. They showed photo mode. Of course, if you're playing online single player mode, you can pause it and actually do it.

Of course, the difference here being that, you know, online single or online offline online single player mode, you don't need to make a lobby. You jump right into the game. Whereas if you're playing multiplayer, you have to create a lobby so friends can join on you or people if you leave it open. You can still sOS when you're an online single player. though, to get help in there and switch it to multiplayer, which is night or whatever. Nice. I think an odd thing about it is this feels like the type of presentation you do

or maybe when you're worried about what else is being released around the game and it's like, hey, we are releasing a very crowded time. We need all eyes on us. And it almost just feels like a way to show people and kind of remind everybody. But like, aside from a vows, right? What else is kind of coming around

that time? Are a Monster Hunter? Yeah. Was it impact? Oh no, I guess Assassin's Creed moved. Yeah. Blumen Rae. Yeah, I was going to say Bloom and Rage's first episode is dropping, but I mean, they're not worried about that. Yaku's a pirate people.

Yeah, I don't know. It's just, it's, all of it is weird. I, yeah. Alex Jones wrote in the chat earlier saying, I think this, that Monster Hunter is going to end up being great, but I'm not convinced it's going to be great day one. Interesting. You think that that's a fear?

I don't remember back to World if that was a... World's a great day one. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, maybe I'm overlooking connectivity issues, which I'm sure they existed in yet, yeah, yeah. But I mean, it wasn't like Diablo, whatever server 34 error, whatever the hell it was when that happened.

Because that was a game. I remember us being enraptured by from the start, and obsessed with for a month or two at that month, you know what I mean, really into it. And I don't think you're going to see a major content drop for this. You know what I mean? Like they talked about stuff coming to it, DLC, here's what I mean?

the bonus editions get you. We're promising more stuff down the line. But I don't think you're going to see a content light version of Monster Hunter Wilde launch that needs an update later on to get great. I'd be shocked if they fucked it up. I'd be really heartbroken. Worlds was so good. And you've had so much time for this.

I guess I can't tell what the Super Chatter is referencing whether it's content or, you know, just buggyness and, you know, servers not being up to date and crossplay failing or whatever. You got the Nat tax. I mean, that's, the damn nat types. Yeah, that's my biggest concern. It's just a multiplayer aspect. It is difficult to navigate their systems. So I'm sure day one as well,

this is like one of the most anticipated games of the year. That thing is going to be on fire the first two days. So it's going to be very difficult to team up with friends. And that's how it will go. But, you know, that's what you do the betas for. We can only help as customers on the other side. Any final thoughts, y'all, on the Capcom Showcase, February 2025. It wasn't good.

It really wasn't good. I didn't dampen my excitement for wilds, but it didn't change my hype level either. Yeah. My lunch got really cold for this. Unfortunately, the lunch arrived right at this happened, and I just let it sit there for an hour. But you know what? I've really enjoyed being at this desk with all of you watching this with the audience. It's just a fun afternoon.

So, you know what? I'm in. We had fun here together. You know, survived a little power out and survived a blessing dude to spit tank. It was a whole thing. I'm still feeling in my nose. It was a sinus, right? Yeah.

Oh, man. Well, everybody, we'll be back tomorrow with another fun-filled day of Kind of Funny content starting at 10 a.m. With Kind of Funny Games daily and going all throughout the day with a bunch of fun for you. But until then, I love you all. Goodbye.
