You already had an amazing episode of Kind of Funny Games Daily with Greg Miller,

reuniting with Mike Drucker. How was that? Awesome. You know how much I love Drucker, of course. If you don't know, Mike Drucker and I met when we hired him to be the writer of Up at noon, and then he left us to go right for the Tonight Show. And then he's written for Samantha Bee, and he's been nominated for Emmy. he's got a new book coming out.

You can pick it up Kind of Funny.com slash Drucker. It's a memoir about his life and video games called Good game, no rematch. I want to make sure I didn't screw up. Good game, no rematch.

Kind of No Funny.com slash Drucker. And then after this, we have a kind of funny game showdown that I am totally, totally not scared about at all. I'm sure she's going to be cool. Because the whole freaking farewell tour, Greg, you've been terrorizing me

for the last couple days. At any moment, I don't know what's going to happen. Yesterday we were doing in review. Kevin fucked up something in the control room. The phone started ringing and I thought it was Greg. No, Kevin made a mistake in a video play. It's only one a day.

You know what's only one a day? You know? God, but here we are. What's going to happen today? Who knows? I don't know. And I'm not happy about it. These are nice things that are you. Anyways. Then after this, no stream, or after that, no stream

because we are celebrating Kevin's 10-year anniversary here. That kind of funny. We're about to go get lunch. And I'm very, very excited. It's one of my favorite restaurants. and I think you guys are really going to like it. Thank you to our matriot producers. Delaney Twining, Carl Jacobs and Omega Buster.

We do have a Gregway. What is it today, Greg? Today's Gregway is about 12 minutes of me talking about the Tim Gettys farewell to her. Thank you, Tim, for that amazing transition. Of course, as everybody knows, I have stars in the bank blessing. Explain to them what that means. Before the season.

Oh, you made this up, don't it? Before this. You don't have to give me the microphone. I have a microphone. I'm a consummate professional. I am Mr. Stars in the Bank, sir. Greg won a tournament, getting him the briefcase. He gets the cash in this briefcase whenever he wants to steal at least one of Tim.

The rules are shamed. Carl Jacobs said that it was three and you didn't fight. Carl Jacobs doesn't make the rules. You were on the show and you had a huh and you nodded. I said uh-huh before he said the thing and he just gave me like a look. You know what? We'll figure that out when you give me the three stars. Maybe it goes up to four.

I appreciate it. But I am cashing this. beautiful briefcase in. I'm the only person ever hold it, Andy. Nice. Big deal. I don't have the ability to edit a Wikipedia page, but if somebody wants to add that to mine, I'd appreciate it.

I'm cashing this in on Wednesday during the Switch to Reveal Event. I want to ruin Tim's perfect day by making it my perfect day, of course. I'll get these three stars. Everything will be fantastic. In the run-up to this, I've given you a week of good things. It's the

farewell tour, all right? I've Yesterday was the gift of honesty. This is a good week. The first day was the gift of cake. The gift of honesty. Oh, you tell me all the things Nintendo's done wrong over the years? Yeah, and I farted your car. I told you that.

I was honest. All right. You're right. Today's gift is a gift for the audience. But of course, it's a gift for y'all too. So let me bust it out of here. All right, what you're all going to be getting is something that I think is pretty special. If you didn't know, if you didn't know, if you didn't know,

game showdown is a very successful, popular game show here on Kind of funny. However, it has no merch. And I said that can no longer stand when you are Mr. Stars in the Bank. So I'm happy to report that right now on kind of funny.com slash store. You can go get your Tim Getty's farewell tour. Of course, designed by the immaculate campfire designs. You see the detail in it, right? You're my boy. Why would you do this to me? What I love about it, of course is it's honestly the best looking shirt we've ever done. Everybody wants Tim to go away, so it's fun to have that. And we're future-proofing, of course. It's got the date of the switch to reveal on it, so of course everyone will know when you were there. And he put the

three stars in tour. Again, just to call it out. I'm not calling you. I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you, I've done this a long time. Sure. And a lot of, you know, I'm Batman, you're Robin. Maybe you're Nightwing at this point. You know what I mean? You've learned a lot from me. And one of the things is, oh, these audiences on the inner, and they get mad when you lie to them. They do. So if you lied to that about the three stars, I can only protect you for so long. You know what I mean?

And I got these fat fingers and I publish phone numbers real quick. I don't mean to. Anything can happen on the internet, all right? So I want you all to know that I have used the company car. I bought all three of you shirts already. So they'll be coming. You can go get your shirt, kind of funny.com slash store. What's that?

Yeah, Barrett, I bought you one too. Don't worry about it. Great about it yesterday. Greg, many years ago, we started this company. You know, it was about 10 years ago. About the time that Kevin first started. Yeah, that's right.

We put out a shirt that I'm pretty sure to this day is our lowest selling shirt of all time. The Sean Finningan likes hiking. Yeah. Oh, those are Kevin Quoella likes a party. And Ken Quoalal likes a party right behind that. Why would anyone want to buy this? You know what you mean?

I've already seen people in the chat saying they've already bought this. No, I don't think anyone's going to buy this. I don't think a single person is going to want to support this nonsense. Tweet or blue skeet your confirmation of the order at Tinggett. Let Ting Gettys see it. Tim doesn't understand. Do not tweet it. Tim doesn't understand

that we're supporting him. This is support right here. You know what I mean? Farewell to the stars. And I also like, you know, there's just so much going on in this shirt. If we could, oh, no, leave it up.

We don't need to talk about Switch 2. The Easter is? What I love about this, yeah. Do you notice anything special about the farewell? It's split in half? Why would it be split in half? I don't know. Shing.

Oh, what the sword sound is in Game Showdown. It's cutting Tim's dreams in half. I see. I like that. That's really nice. I've always wanted Game Showdown merch. I didn't know. Here it is.

You're welcome. You're welcome. The handle the briefcase. Yes. Oh shit. Got to see a punk vibe to it. I love it. Oh, Tim.

Campfire killed it. It's harder to recycle when you do that. Well, everybody, today we're brought you by Stash. And apparently the Tim Gettys farewell tour merch and kind of funny.com slash store. Can you imagine if I had an ad that you didn't know about they would have been fucking awesome. Bear, remember that for next time. Yeah. I'm going to win stars in the baking.

Yeah. Holy crap, a massive super chat from Jessica Hinkle. Jessica Hingles saying, happy 10 year anniversary, Kev Dog. We love you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Jessica. Jessica, that's very sweet, but this was kind of my moment. It was kind of about the shirt and the farewell tour. It's kind of fucked up. Thank you, Jessica. Thank you. Jessica. Oh, my God. B.J. Bernato, Super Chats insane. I can't wait for Gray to actually steal Tim Starr's and still lose the season at the end of the year. I believe in Tim Geddes. Thank you so much. That won't happen exactly that way. I will win, but I will not be stolen from.

I love that I'm just an audience member on Game Showdown. I'd just watch it all go down. I get to just watch it. I'll go down. I was saying the other day, I was like, people to win for you every once in a while. I was saying the other day, when it was only kind of feudy, I was really good. I was like really good at that game.

Like, most of the season has been kind of futi. No, I love. I love. I was really good at any of the stats. Let's see the truth. The topic of the show, everybody. Tots, toss, toss, toss, toss. It's the official final Nintendo Switch to predictions. Bless, it seems like every couple days we have predicted this Nintendo Switch

2 events for the last two years, you know. But here we are days away from this event actually happening. So for one last time, I wanted to get the four of us together to talk about all the things that we expect to see, what we don't expect to be there, all of it for the Nintendo Switch 2 direct coming next week that of course we will be live reacting to right here, Twitch.tv.tv slash kind of funny games. YouTube.com slash kind of funny games. And then you can get all of the coverage later on podcast services. But you want to be there live for when I get these stars, don't you? You're going to want to be live. You're going to want to hang out with us, obviously, all day on Wednesday.

We have a fun day of content planned, even beyond the Nintendo Switch 2 direct itself. The games cast breakdown. We have some fun things after that. I think it's worth pointing out. We haven't said this. We haven't publicly confirmed it. But the one, the only Cat Bailey, going to be joining us, former NBC member. of course, formerly at IGN. Of course, Kat Bailey knows a lot about Nintendo. She'll be hanging out of this for the Nintendo Switch. She's very excited about this.

I was talking to her in GDC. She's very excited to be here reacting to Nintendo. So you all should be hyped about that. But I came up with just a list of questions for us to kind of go through. And I was debating how to handle this episode. The way I think because we talked so much about predictions, I don't think we're going to need to do the lock in our predictions and all that stuff. If we have pizza bets, we want to.

make it. We have bets we want to make. We get heated at each other. We'll call that out individually. Otherwise, it's more of a discussion in us saying what we think. You get what I'm saying? Fair enough. Love it. Cool. I want to start with the most important thing. Will the snap be replaced by a clap? Yes. Yes. And we know what already has sound

wise, but visually. Yes. Oh. Because we have the in the transition. They always do the snap. When we have this man in the direct, what's going to do? What man's going to be? I don't even know. I don't, ooh, okay. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying the sound effect yes but I don't think that

I think they still visualize it with the snap I think they teased it yesterday with Miyamoto going direct well they always do they always that's the OG that's the old IGN joke I remember I I come down on yes I think it's going to be

a clap mainly for how the joycons are going to attach this time around right we're it's magnets to like we're going magnet and so they're going to clap onto that thing we've heard the sound like it is a clap sound I think they're going to want to drive that home with like how they brand it, right? How they visualize it.

I think it does make sense to go from that to. I'm team clap. Yeah, clap it on there. I think that these men are going to clap, Andy. I think it's too far. It's Nintendo. That's the problem is that I'm not trying to be spicy here, but I'm locking in. They stay with the snap.

And it's just because I just don't, I think that is good. This I don't like. I don't like this. I don't like. They're going to be used to it. Did you like the snap at first? We all made fun of me. We all made fun of it.

But, okay, but like, I think it's rare that anybody does a snap, and that to us is so an intent. If somebody just does this, that, like, that just signifies somebody smashing their hands together. And I don't know. I just don't feel right about it. Think about them doing it. Think about them doing it in a Nintendo way, though. Because they're going to emphasize it and just, it's going to be, it's going to be that. And we're going to be like, all right.

that's kind of weird, but then two directs later, we're going to be like, I kind of fuck with it. That's the oddness. Yeah. Lock it in, everybody. I'm with Bless. It's happening. No. Team clap. It's a snap. It's just going to sound cooler. It's going to, you know. You don't want to throw away. People will get confused. They all know the switch is such a big success because of the snap. They don't want to throw it. And the sound is similar. It's not the same. Similar. Not the same. Similar. One sounds like a snap.

Real quick. I love the super chat from Snuggs. He's got my shirt. Catbelly's going to react to him losing his three stars. Get the sexual money to Kev. I don't, I don't, you know, Julie, should we prep Cat Bailey on? Oh, she watches all this, I'm sure. Okay. She watches all of it, I'm sure. All right, let's get into the meat of all of this,

the system itself. I have a couple questions that I want us to go through. I'm going to say all of them right now for us to think about in case we want to like combine, all right? Nick Schaefer makes a good point. What if it's, why not two snaps? What if we're snapping both fingers at the same time for the Switch 2?

And that's how you get that. amplified snap sound. Oh shit. Because it does sound like a snap in stereo. Yes. You know? It sounds like a clap of the magnets sucking them things to the switch too, everybody. Hold on. I'm trying to find it. Here we go. Here we go. It's definitely such a clap.

It's just. Everyone. That's a clap. That's a fucking clap. Andy, you've been in SF studio. Like, you've used like the- That's a different snare. That's a clap. That's not a snare. That's not a slap. That's a clap right there. Yeah. Think about it. Shit.

System questions. state, price, amount of skews. Will it be OLED? Will it have HDR? And what does the C button do? It will have HDR.

Oh, changing your tune now. I'm changing my tune. But by accident. I don't know if they're I don't know what I said. I don't think that they're going to like really focus on. There's going to be like, oh, we should. Oh, nice. Good job. You guys got HCR.

I got in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That slipped in. What's HDR, by the way? Like, they don't know. They don't have no idea what it is. But there will be absolutely no OLED. That is like a pizza bed I am willing to fucking die on. Feed me pizza until my corpse is just bloated, you know?

So let's continue with the HGR conversation. Who are you betting against, though? Tim, because Tim is like so set on. Oh, what? So I guess I'll jump here. I'm making a pizza bed on this. I'm not making a pizza bed. Tim is so set that I feel so confident in this.

and it feels that you're coming at me and my beliefs. I'm coming to your own beliefs. No, but even the OLED thing. No. No. The OLED. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. The OLED thing. I don't know what games cast we were on. The OLED thing, you were like, how are you so sure about this? No. Well, sure about that I'm still there

because I'm not sure. I'm still believing. I know I'm being stupid. I know that there's just a lot of hope in me, but like I'm not convinced there's no OLED. I also think there will be a LED version, but I'm not convinced there's not an OLED version. But I'm not saying there will,

will be. You have what I'm saying? I kind of sitting on a fence right here. I am. That's a fence sitter. We were to argue about the HGR. There will be HDR. The H.R was like a, like, mainly like a kind of a goof just because they, you know, Nintendo rarely gives a fuck about anything modern.

But the OLED thing, you know, you sound like it's more of a, if it happens, that's amazing for me, but I, you know, I'm not so sure. No, I'm more than that, though. That is, that's obvious. Of course I want to be so pissed If there's not an O-Lid one Yeah, there will not be an O-Lid. There will not be an O-Lid. Here's my thing. I think that there's a chance that there is.

I really do think that there's a chance. I think there's a chance of the M-Squis tomorrow. Two skews. You know? But I think it's higher than that because this is them so far, Nintendo have been making what I think are the right choices. Call it the Switch 2. Just do more of what the Switch already did.

I think they're in a unique position right now to put out the two skews, act more like everyone else is acting in this tech gaming space of putting out multiple versions of the things, put it out for $100 more. And dumbasses like me, not dumbasses, it's fucking worth it. I'll buy, I'll buy you.

I'm a dumb ass that way too. So I think that there is a chance. I wouldn't bet on it. No pizza bet. Wouldn't bet on it. But I do think that it is like not, it's not like, oh, there's a chance we're all going to get struck by lightning.

I do think that there's a fair chance. I'd say a 30% chance. Okay. That there'll be two skews and the Switch 2 will be $400. and the OLED switch will be $500. And that just makes sense. They'll make hell of money.

I hope it happens simply from the standpoint of executives at Nintendo, who or people hire ups at Nintendo that are playing games and enjoying and being like, are you serious? We're not going to have, what? Like, this little OLED device is so nice to look at. And now you're taking that away from me. And I hope that that's like the main reason, the main drive, you know? Yeah.

With the HDR, the one thing for me is I'm not sure that the switch, If it's not an LED, like the Switch itself, I don't know if there'll be HDR necessarily on the portable, but there will be HDR when you dock it. You got to have HDR, right? Like, I feel like you gotta have HDR at this point. I mean, do you gotta? No, you're Nintendo, but I feel like you gotta have it at this point.

I think it'll be there. Yeah. Again, this comes back to like the argument that I made. I think it was like the Mario Hopes and Dreams games cast, maybe when we were talking about this, where I was like, because they get their parts from Invid, Yeah, they get their ship sent from Nvidia.

And I'm like, yo, if I'm the Nvidia salesman, I'm like, yo, we just bake this shit in. We don't even make them without HDR anymore. You got to get the HDR. I think the reason why I was less, like, hopeful is I'm still surprised by the amount of PC games I play nowadays that don't have an HDR function. Where you just go to display and there's just nobody,

and you're like, oh, okay. And I'm just so kind of used to that. I'm no longer surprised when a game doesn't have HDR built into the menus because it feels like it's more and more of a common thing nowadays. Like, I wouldn't say common, but at least 30 to 40% of games that I'm playing nowadays don't have an option. Ironically, on this- There's no uniformity to these PC games.

But, I mean, that's the thing is that I do think that as advanced... You have a microphone. Advances PC gaming is. As advanced as PC gaming is, I do think because it is not a uniform thing, like, on console games, or on PS5 and Xbox, it's like, you just set the base system to H-GR. it does like auto-h-G-R and like fakes it and all that stuff. PC can do that, but it never works nearly as well as the uniformity. And because of that, Nintendo's trying to get uniform with the other console guys.

I really, I truly believe that there's no chance that they don't have HDR. Interesting. So the Switch at launch only launched with one skew for 300. The Wii U launched with two skews for 300 and 350, respectively. Do you know what the difference between those skews were for the Wii? It was a storage space and the color. the Wii was white or the nicer one was black black and the switch two or switch one had the two skews that were just gray and the color

the gray or the color joycons I think as far as OLED the reason why I lean towards no OLED is because I it's hard for me to imagine Nintendo wanting to have a skew that is out that is that costs too much because already I think as far as price we're probably talking about 350 to 400 I'll think like if this one skew I'll think 400 I'll think 400 I'll think if it's one skew I'll think 400 if it's two skews, I think you figure out a way to have one of those skews be 350 by either getting storage down or figuring out something. But I feel like an OLED switch or an OLED Switch 2, we're talking $500? Like six, I feel like that's way too much. No, not to say. I mean, that's the thing. The

OLED's not that much more expensive. Like, OLED's pricing has dropped significantly in the last couple years. Like these things, especially for small screens. Tariffs. But that's the thing. There's all this stuff. I think that the switch to no matter what is $400. So let's imagine those ones. I'll say $400. Yeah, $3.99. I don't think, yeah, I don't think it'll be cheaper than that.

I would be really shocked that they went with anything cheaper than $400. Yeah. I don't think they should. I could see it be more expensive. I can't. Without OLED? I can't. What do you think?

Minimum $450. It's crazy. It's crazy in that it's not round even looking numbers. But that's the only thing. Like I just, I feel like the country has been prepped for things to become more and more expensive. Over the last several months of all this tariff talk and people are getting primed for that. And I don't think that it will come as a shock to anybody if something is more expensive.

And I think you could take advantage of that as a large company. And I think it comes back to the conversation of who is the switch to for. You look at the way they've marketed it already and you look at, like, like just the design of it and it has more of a mature, sleeker feel. And it doesn't look like that kid's product anymore, right? Because they already know that they've sold so many switch ones to families. So many people

already own that. And there's going to be such crossover as far as like, hey, this is still the switch family of systems. Those first users that are going to show up day one to buy the switch to, they're going to be the people with disposable income. They're going to be the people that, you know, want to make that jump. They're not necessarily going to be the kids.

They're not necessarily going to be the families. Of course, they're going to be there, right? But I think, starting off with the switch too you can have it land at that 400 sweet spot and have it be a thing of hey those who are here for it are going to buy it and then over time we'll drip free drip feed it to the rest well that's when you get into how they'll revise it where of course i think you'll see i like 399 400 because then i think that gives you the wiggle room of when you do do the OLED version in x amount of years you go up to 450 500 right and then when you do the version for kids again that's what are they called the light, right?

Where it's locked in and you can't take the joycons off. You go down or stay at that thing. Stay at $3.99 or go to $3.50. But I think they're anticipating. Yeah. Well, it's probably in your questions. I don't want to get ahead of it, right? But like, we're anticipating this being hard, right, to get this being a pre-order

situation where we're all scrambling and we're all awake on Amazon. And we're just pre-ordering them and then giving out the pre-orders to our friends and family, right? Everything that we've heard is Nintendo is more prepared for this than any launch they've ever had. having said that 100%. Yeah, it's going to be very difficult. Because I feel like it's going to be scalpercential for sure, but I do think you might be less underestimating the mainstream's desire for this. Because the switch has been so crazy successful

that there are so many kids who I think came up with the switch that are now into their teens and the parents who would want to be there for them, let alone the kids who are saving their money, let alone. It's just such a mainstream device that I think it is going to be a bit of a crowded pool. again, not 9-01 Eastern time when we're all like awake doing it but there's gonna be so many people flooding trying to get this thing.

I think Nintendo's goal is to get as many of these into houses as quickly as possible because they, I don't think it's a guarantee that people upgrade from the Switch one to the Switch 2 and I think that we're, this direct is going to be incredibly important for Nintendo to convince people

that bought the Switch in 2017 and have not played a game sense Mario Kart to hey, this is why you need to get in here. And that is why I'm still leaning on, despite the rumors all talking about only having an LED model, I do see them like trying to

potentially have the option of the two skews to just maximize. And to get that, and you're saying, like, even if the prices are higher, it's like, people would be willing to spend $100 more for the OLED because they're used to it because they want it. What is the audience for the OLED though?

I look at the OLED audience as like a significant audience, but also not, part of that first wave of people we need to hit for that launch time, right? I see OLED as year two, year three, like, all right, cool. Now let's put out the fancy version of this thing. That's the thing is OLED is, like, I know that's what they did for the switch. Where we're at now, like the OLED model coming out years later, I think is already an antiquated idea.

They could do it. And sure, they've done things. And even Steam Deck did that. But I think that going forward, it's more and more, like, look at all the new handhelds coming out. Like, most of them are coming out with OLED as like a stand. Even those, though, I would say something like a steam deck, that still speaks to hardcore gamers in a way where if I go to my mom or my sister who has kids, right, and be like, yo, there's new switch coming out, which when she's asking me which one should I get, I would have to tell her, explain to her what OLED is. And at the end of the day, she's not going to care. But that's the thing is, like, I also think that it's an easier sell then of like, oh, I'll just get the $400 version then.

Yeah. Like, it's, I don't think it needs to be for everybody. But, like, it's also not just for tech heads. Like, it is definitely for, like, I'd say the majority of people listening to the show. would buy the OLED version over the other version because they care about gaming. I think the past- If they care about portable Nintendo at all, if they're just going to play on their dock, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I think also the past three to four to five Black Friday sales for just the general public have made OLED a lot more common to like just the normal family who is... Sure.

Again, TVs used to be so expensive and now it's like, oh, I can buy this Sony OLED for fucking $400. Whoa, cool. Oh, and it looks a lot better. I think it's, I think Ola, Eloid is no longer that weird tech that I had to, like, explain to people at Best Buy and be like, well, you know, when I'm selling in the fucking new iPhone or whatever the hell,

or the new Samsung phone, I think OLED is just becoming kind of a, a newer, more common thing that is no longer, you only get this if you're super rich and care about tech or whatever, you know? Is it the most vital thing, though, when we're talking about Switch to and pricing it and trying to figure out

how to get into most hands. I think the last thing I want to say on this because I don't want to go too long in this. I know that I'm already being annoying because like the chances of this, I'm saying, but the chances of this actually happening are slim.

You get them saying? I'm not saying I think this is going to happen. I am saying though, business-wise, I think that they can get more money launching it now as an extra skew of getting that extra hundred from people as opposed to waiting a year or two or whatever it is

and then putting it out at a $50 increase or whatever it is. down the line. And the concept of like, oh, we're going to sell an extra switch and then you give your switch to someone else. Like, they've already kind of built that line with all the Switch 1 products. And I do not

expect Nintendo, as they showed yesterday, to give up on Switch 1 games for a while. So I think they've been building to this. The other thing is LED technology has gotten so much better. Look at the PlayStation portal screen. That thing is beautiful. I'm still mad. It's not OLED. But like,

honestly, it's very, very, very. very, very good. So I expect that, I hope, that this switch LED screen is as good as that portal screen. My other question with this is, what are the other ways we can see multiple skews happening? Because we talking about the Wii, right? It was storage. How much of that is still a conversation nowadays as far as, I forget what the storage was for the switch at launch, but I feel like it was not that much. I don't think it matters because the SD cards, microSD cards.

True. Yeah. Like those are so ubiquitous at this point and you can get the church. I think they'll be the same thing as the switch. So I feel like onboard memories Not as big of a factor anymore. So is there anything else that would lead to more skews aside from? JoyCon colors, color schemes, right? Yeah, but you would like charge the same for those.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking it was like if you were to go for multiple prices. I doubt it. Yeah. I interrupt, sorry, just real quick. Joey shared a link where I can live track all the orders of the Tim Getty's farewell to our shirt. So I want to thank the 32 orders that have already come in since we launched this show. She also pointed out that when a sale happens now,

this lights up and does fireworks. So I will call it out as it happens throughout the show. I want to thank Washington, New Jersey, Ontario, Canada, Indiana, Nevada, Wisconsin. Thank you all for picking up this shirt to celebrate Tim and his amazing run ending on Kind of Funny Game Showdown. Thank you so much. All right. So we talked about price. I feel like we're all kind of an alignment there.

And all that stuff. Release date. Bless. Oh, I kind of pull up the calendar. I mean, I firmly believe June. Do you believe that because of the rumors, or you just, that's where you would have been to begin with? I believe it because of the rumors.

It's where I would have been to begin with. And also, like, even for me individually talking to people within the industry, it sounds like I've gotten the impression of June. Thank you to Texas. Thank you, Texas. Thank you, Texas. Well, I don't know. Actually, I take that back.

I'm not thinking Texas for shit. I remember you bought this year. Andy. Um, I firmly believe the rumors that mid-June, you know, that mid-July. June, June 15th or whatever that that date was. Oh, a couple more fireworks. West Virginia. Nice. From what I remember, I don't, and I

could be wrong about this, May 15th was the actual date with the rumor. June didn't have a date, but June seems like the more likely people in the know actually talking about it. Yeah, Minnesota. As long as it's before Summer Game Fest, I mean, that would just be ideal. Just so we can have it. We got to take a flight. We got to be down at us.

Please. You know, coverage-wise we want it after, right? that'll be really good for numbers if we can go for summer game fest into the switch two coverage because when is SGF is the 6th of June Okay okay okay okay so like if we can get it coming out Like the 13th

I don't know if that's confirmed Ooh I'm gonna be tired that week Released of the 20th I'm gonna say 20th Just for my right of the 20th Yeah Indiana When is June 10th actually

Because then I'll probably get that next We'll figure it out I'll talk to Nintendo Yeah this is one of those Where June makes sense to me for sure you know, hey, we're doing this at the start of April, right? Then you have two months to build up hype and go through the thing. I don't have it available.

I would love to look on Google Chrome right now, but I got to keep my eye on these sales. You know what I mean? But what are the dates for all the Nintendo? Friday, March 3rd was when 2017 is when Switch 1 came out. No, no, no, I'm sorry, no. But remember they did like, we're doing a tour or whatever. Like, what are that coming up right? It's about to happen.

Yes, but they had multiple dates. I remember when they did it. What's the last date in there? I think it's around May 15th. Oh, okay. See, yeah. So yeah. And the Nintendo World Store is open.

in May 15. Yeah, so June makes a lot of sense. England. Woof. Wow. Governor. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense to me then. You have that tour.

You have this hype thing. You build it up. You don't want it to be too long, right? You want to just stay forever. So this is a great one. And what the rumor also is that pre-orders Michael live on direct day as well. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. That all tracks for me. It does. Ohio. Oh, there it is. I'm sticking with the prediction I made. Despite all the rumors and leaks and stuff and people talking,

people taught me a GDC as well. definitely made me think June, but I'm sticking with my July 11th, Friday, July 11th. Oh, okay. When I did my Nintendo predictions a couple months ago, I said that. And when I look back at how Switch 1

did its announcements, did its pre-orders, like the gap, everything about that Switch 1 presentation, there was something a little weird about it. Going into it, it's like, all right, cool, well, Mario Kart's going to be a launch game. And it wasn't. It was the month after. You know, it's like, oh, cool, well, this, in January, we're getting this thing.

That means we're probably going to get the, the pre-orders and all this stuff is going to be for next month, and it was March. Everything's just a little further than we expect. So July 11th. New Hampshire, Washington, Illinois, North Carolina, Scotland, and Kansas, please refund your purchase.

Scullet. Let's move into accessories. You could change your feet, Illinois. JoyCon, colors. Will there be a new pro-controller? And any other new accessories? I'd like to jump to pro-con. Pro controller right for that.

Yeah. Fuck yeah. There'll be a new. I don't think it's going to be radically different, but they're not going to miss the opportunity. I expected to work with my old pro controller as well, but they will do this and you assume it's going to have that C button on there, which will be the push of like,

oh, you sure you'd probably get it, you know what I mean? Oh, sorry, we didn't even top of the C button. What do we think the C button is? Man. Because like one of the rumors is, or one of the, not rumors, one of the like theories is mouse mode, right? And if that's the case, I don't think the person or. We were talking about that a lot yesterday on games.

Interesting. I don't think they put that on the... Yeah, that's a great call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, maybe you would, and then you'd do the gyros of the controller. That's a gyro, though, right? Like, that's...

Trying to think of some way. The G button there. The G-spot. That's what they call it. That's what they call it. There's still the theory of it's the cast button. Jen must be... I know a lot about Switch 2

because she's always calling it. Breaking embargo. But yeah, I feel like there's a lot of... Too much evidence towards the mouse thing, that I think the C button is a mouse. Just because the Switch 2 trailer showing them fucking drifting around and stuff. Like that,

that doesn't seem the type of cute Nintendo is. This seems more like a tease. Hmm. Hmm. So you think I hit C, I take them off, hit C, and that's when it goes,

bloop, and it also seems like way less of a pain in the ass to need that to be dedicated to a software sort of switch button thingy. Like, it's already kind of a pain in the ass pairing multiple controllers.

And I feel like just having a hard hardware toggle to say now you're in cursor mode feels a lot easier and less less annoying. But any thoughts? I mean, cursor does sound like it makes sense. That's the thing is it's tough. I go back to the Roger, the Roder Dhradamas thing, right? Of like, all right, this is to cast to your Nintendo Switch dock or whatever, which I think

would be a genius idea. But yeah, I don't really have any concrete predictions. I'll say cursor. That's my thing with the casting is that I've gone, when that, I was like, yeah, that makes so much sense. And then it's like, wait, does that make any sense? Because you're just put it in the dock. Like, you know what I mean?

Even if I'm casting to a TV without the dock, there's going to be latency and shit. Like, why would I want that? Maybe it's a dual screen experience kind of thing. But then, like, when you start to get so many stuff removed from what I even think they would do with the Switch 2, where I don't think they're trying to make like another 3DS kind of thing. Yeah, 100%. How many games would take advantage of that, true advantage of it?

Exactly. Roger was claiming laziness. So just like, oh, you just want to be on the couch and then you hit C and then you cast to the thing. Yeah, but that's just pretty much. I love it. I think that the latency and all that stuff, like those problems are solved for the type of, we're not playing Valerite.

You know what I mean? Or are we? The thing with casting is that casting in and of itself, the experiences I've had of casting from my phone to a TV or laptop to a TV, it's like it's always a fucking pain in the ass. Why would I go through those steps, especially with Nintendo hardware,

trying to communicate with a different brand of hardware where I can just fucking bloop and it's on the TV, you know? In my experience, the casting's been great. I don't think it needs a dedicated button. Yeah. Like I think that that is very much, software go in click a thing and it's done. I also think Nintendo's weird and sometimes

dumb enough to just do shit like that anyway. Yeah. So like I even if something doesn't work great, I don't think that Nintendo would be you know trying to avoid something that didn't work good because we've seen them do shit in the past. The other instinct that I also have is like if you're playing

with the joycons and like the little like doggy controller form, right? Like, why would they make a button that essentially becomes useless if you don't have, like, the actual pad in there, you know? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm following you. Yeah, I don't like casting.

I've cooled on casting for that with a button is. Cursor mode makes sense. Do it, but even then, it's like... It's only on one of them, which makes it interesting, but, like, I don't think that necessarily... Dual cursors. Because I'm going to say, are you always... is the right joycon always going to be the mouse one because it's config yeah that both of them

are drifting in the video that's my only thing against that but like I also don't think yeah it's gonna be a weird two mouse situation because it could be games though for two players right yeah I guess we're doing some kind of thing where it's where you can locally play so you hit it and they both go into cursor mode so that you're both

drawing on the table doing whatever yeah yeah I guess in my brain right like the way that a right joycon is already configured with how the bumper is on the left click right and then the triggers on the right click it feels a bit more natural than if I already be using the left joycon that's such a in the weeds thing that I'm like

if you're doing it for a Mario Party mini game or some shit and you don't even need to click like that then maybe I can see it do they call it something cute like cursor fun or you know some bullshit Cucer new character I haven't heard cursor mode

like until Barrett said that like that's I think that's it like that makes sense yeah instead of mouse mode or whatever yeah maybe clippy clicky clicky

click click click tendo oh shit three purchases from New York one for Colorado thank you I don't know thank you you all I should have got together just send them in one place in New York

all right accessories JoyCon controllers new pro controller other accessories so yeah new pro controller I think there will be I'm like it's going to be too crazy we already saw the JoyCon grip

but there's a new one like yeah right there Oh, that thing, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Obviously, we're getting the black with the classic switch inspired inner colors. Yeah. But it is it because that orange is white was not classic switch. Ah, but it harkens back.

I just wanted to be red. I wanted to be more red. More neon. Looks coral. Coral. Colorado back at it. Do you guys think there's going to be any other joycon, the new JoyCon, the new JoyCon, color way is shown on Wednesday?

Yes. I hope so. I think there's at least one more where it's just like, hey, because they want, it's the excitement of buying a new console. We all buy a bunch of dumb shit we don't need. And so it is, hey, here they are all in black and here it is the,

I mean, I don't think you purple, which would be very, yeah, Tamaama, perfect. See, I think classic colors. Yeah, yeah, like the gray. Well, no, when I say classic, I mean it's the switch one colors, right? Like the red and blue.

I think they want to differentiate. That's my thing, right? I think that the like, the toning it differently. If they want those things are going to look so hot when they're all gray and you got the atomic purple from SNES on there. When I say red blue, I'm also talking about the same. Like, Barry, if you want to bring that picture up, I'm talking about the same

shades that we're saying, like, more of the same. Because I think that is how, if they wanted to differentiate, these wouldn't be like the accent colors on this controller, right? So I think they're still sticking with it. I think these are just part of the switch ethos. So I think you flip it for whatever the other color scheme is.

I would be so shocked if this is the only color way, or any, or just joy cons that we see, period. because the markup on the accessories is so high and man they make so much money on those things. Well that's my thing is I think you get the reverse of these colors and then

literally I give it four months before we start getting like all right here's yellow. Yeah he's crazy colors. So for switch one we've talked about it obviously the all gray and then the red and the blue how long was it until we got another pair of joycons? They also released like

the blue on the other side and the red on the other side like because So you can combine. Exactly. Do we... Okay, well, probably not for the actual video or the day that we're getting this whole big premiere event or whatever. But what do we think the first game has like a JoyCon tie-in?

Metroid Prime, come on. Metroid Prime with the purple and something like that. Yes. Or the red and black from the trailer. That would be sick. That's interesting. Yeah. Orange or purple.

It's going to be ugly. There's going to be any other accessory. Handcuffs. Because the... one thing is I mean we see that there's like this this new like four cursor mode maybe like the sleevey type thing

that goes on the bottom of the joycons I imagine those come with the joycons but I wonder if there's like other versions of that or something like expanded on like even more cursor mode thing but maybe that comes later you know I don't know Louisiana I don't necessarily expect that there will be

mouse pad is great yeah I still have my SNES Mario Paint one I mean I'm crazy but like are we know the headset

I what are we doing with online what are we doing oh yeah just yeah a Bluetooth ear piece connect you know something there

an officially branded one are we of course I know switch one's been the app and all that jazz but are we moving away from that with switch two and actually putting on board

not that USBC we got that sexy USBC you can put anything in there Nintendo doesn't believe in voice chat I know like baked in their chat they got to protect those kids yeah

a party system no absolutely not everyone we're going to move on to the software side of things, both games and Nintendo Switch online after a quick word from our sponsor. This podcast is brought to you by the Tim Getty's Farewell T-shirt, available right now on kindof-funny.com slash store. Did you know that Tim Getty stole a bunch of stars for me by being too good at a game and the blessing gave him a bunch of questions that I should have gotten, but my questions weren't as easy as Tim's were? Well, now you do, and I rectified it by getting stars in

the bank. So for this week leading up to the Switch 2 announce event, I'm torturing Tim and saying, hey, farewell to your stars, Tim, and you can be part of that. You can go get your shirt right now. It's got all three stars in there, and it's got the date of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, which isn't that important. It's actually more of the date of me taking the stars

with stars in the bank. So go to kind of funny.com slash store right now where you can get your state red, Florida. So Nintendo Switch Online. We have a couple questions here. There's, I'll put it into three different categories. One is, I'll be getting new systems, GameCube, DS, things like that.

Second would be, will they announce any DLC expansion for a previously existing game? And then the third would be, how do Nintendo Switch 2 edition games work? We now officially, as of yesterday from the articles that Nintendo, or not articles, the web pages and stuff, the PR stuff from Nintendo. They said Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games and Nintendo Switch 2 addition games is what they're calling them. So it does imply that Switch games will have Switch 2 additions. interesting. How does that work? If yesterday's virtual cartridge explanation was any indication of how they're going to explain

this whole switch to exclusive conundrum, it's going to be confusing. And we're not going to be fully clear on it until a press release after the fact. I don't trust that it will be clear at all. I do imagine that I'll be kind of annoyed and frustrated by whatever the result is, because it's going to be something that you just, you know, us knowing that Xenoblade Chronicles X has this 60 frames per second mode that is kind of hidden within like the actual software or whatever. And you kind of put two and two together and you're like, oh, that's probably like a sort of switch two addition mode or whatever. But it just seems like something that could be kind of like switched and snapped on. but it's going to be really annoying how we get those things, you know?

So what's your prediction? Like, well, how do we get those things? Because my prediction is it's going to be tied to Switch Online. Yeah, I think it's going to be a person on line. Which I don't think it's bad at all. Like, I think that they're trying to push this thing that has value and a way to add even more value is you get the Switch 2 additions, like the patch or whatever that is to play your old games, which I think is way better than having to buy a brand new full price game. Do you think that there will be an, uh, uh, option at all to buy it separately in the way that when you want to upgrade the horizon

forbidden west to the PS5 version you pay $10 extra if you already own the game do you think if you go to the store and it recognizes you own this game in our library but pay $10 extra you get the Switch 2 version no I don't know yeah I probably not but then say in Nintendo Switch 2 edition it does kind of like break my prediction a bit because I do think that sounds more like it's a different skew itself. Because what's what games do you think that would be for? Obviously, most of the games that I think are big enough of a splash on the Switch to Splash.

Splash. To like, you know, get something like, that would be a, oh, this is substantial that this is getting this are Nintendo games. So they have a lot of control over. All right, cool. We're going to give Mario Odyssey a Switch to Edition. We're going to give Zelda to the Kingdom of a Switch to Edition. Where do you think that buck stops?

Do you think that is the top 10 games on the Switch one, get that? Do you think it is going to be the vast? majority of Nintendo games. No, I think it's going to be a slow drip feed. I think we're going to see Breath of the Wild and we're not going to see tears the kingdom. Slow drip feed. I think that's my answer to all these questions. I think they're all slow drip feeds, which is like a great future.

Winwaker, where the fuck of those? You know what I mean? Like, GameCube and DS and all this stuff. Like, yeah, it's going to come to virtual or Nintendo Switch online, but it's like not in this direct, not in this thing, which is like, ah. But it's like the console itself is exciting enough. I, the more and more, I, the more, talk myself through it for some reason I feel like they are weird enough to do I don't know what

games granted like I think blessing talking about like what get you know do they just look at their top 30 selling lists or whatever and assume people would want to upgrade these video games but I I feel more and more confident in myself for no reason at all really just pure gut feeling that it'll be an either or situation you could get these upgrades to the 60 frame per second switch two versions if you have Nintendo Switch Online. If you're a member, you're paying monthly, blah, blah, blah. Or if you don't want to do that, you can pay separately. Yeah. I feel like they'll do an either or situation. I think you have to put out like the skews for buying individually. I think they're going to be full price. Well, here's my thing. I think it would be $60. I don't know the answer to this. Is there a way to buy the Mario Kart 8 booster course pack thing without the Switch Online expansion pack?

Or is that the only way to get it? I'm not. Whatever that does, I think it's going to follow that logic. Yeah, you must be able to buy that separately from the Switch Online thing. Right, chat? Yeah, people are saying absolutely, yeah. Cool. Then, yeah, I think that there will be a way to buy it separately then. And I think that's a win.

Like, I think it still sucks of, you know, I think across all these console generation jumps, there should be a built-in way to do the Xbox. Mark DeLit, what's happening? I opened up the Mine Nintendo Store and started scrolling down and then Andy reached over silently and points up and I scroll back up and he just points at the alarm mode and gives me a thugs out.

Add that to your car, man. I mean, Ben would love it, dude. Oh, my God. Xbox smart delivery should be the bar for how this shit should work, right? I'm very much tired of generation and generation having to figure out, okay, I own this thing that I bought a couple years ago.

Okay, cool. Now that I'm on a new console generation is now getting outdated or I'm not getting like, you know, the update that's bringing it forward. I understand like Xbox kind of move the needle forward from where things have been typically. But I think that's a suit that should be followed. But also, that is a very non-Nintendo way to go about things.

Yeah. That's so right. Yeah. But yeah, that said, right? Like, if we can have it be that Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, switch two version, all right, you want to buy it for $60. And then if you have Switch online, then you get it for free. Sure, why not?

Like, not the best solution for that. It kind of makes me roll my eyes a little bit. But also, I guess it is better. if most people I think have Switch online already if you're a big Switch user so it's nice to have that as an option to play those games I yeah that's my prediction

I think Xbox is the most pro consumer of the three and that's you know obviously that sounds like I'm showering them with praise but they're just like they're the least shitty about doing like you know money making sort of decisions yeah and Nintendo's a company that puts out

Mario 30th anniversary edition and then takes it off the shelves and says you can only buy it for a month or whatever. It's going back in the fall. They're weirdest shit. And I could totally see them saying, yeah, but we don't give us a fuck about, you know, we'll make money. Who cares? People will buy it. I also don't think we'll see GameCube or DS or any of that stuff. One day, though. One day. I do think one day. I agree. I don't think it'll be this day.

Yeah. Again, like there's no, you don't need to do that now. This isn't a Miacopa. This isn't we're coming. Oh, man. It was. It is. We're coming off to Wii U and it was, we're in a dire strait. No, you're fucking King of the Mountain. This thing sold so well. This next one is going to sell so well. You don't have to even announce games. You could just put it up for pre-order.

We're all going to buy it. So it's like, no, you don't need to come out and wow us with something you can do way later on. I want to get into games. I have the separated first party and then third party. I don't have too many third parties. So if you guys want to add stuff, we can go through it. I don't want to say this is a lightning round, but this is more just like a quick gut instinct. Yes or no.

Give me your answers to where we're at, okay? does Mario Kart appear? What's it called? And when does it launch? Mario Kart does appear. It is a launch game. And it's... Let me get back to it name. Mario Kart Super Circuit. Greg, isn't the DS-1 circuit? That's the Game Boy Advance One. No, but is it Super Circuit? Yeah. Oh, I thought it was something else circuit. Let me whisper in your ear, Greg.

It'll just be called Mario Kart. You think so? You think so? I'm going to say, I mean, yes, it does. does appear. Mario Kart X, which I think I might have stole from you. Here's the thing is I want to say to Mario Kart cross country, sorry. There you go.

Mario Kart World. Cross country. Remember they went by the gas stations and stuff? It looks like it's more... It looks like a forza kind of open world thing. Mario Kart Crossroads. I changed about Ampsi. That was my other one I was thinking with.

That sounds like a game about like you dealing with like a death of a family member and you're just like discovering yourself, you know? Yeah. Sonic Race and Cross Worlds is already happening. Yeah, but he said crossroads. Not crossroads. Yeah. Which would be unfortunate, but honestly, it'd probably be more unfortunate for Sonic than anything.

Like Nintendo probably like, oh, that's close. We don't go fuck. Yeah. Mario Kart 2. Because I'm with you. Because my prediction before was just straight up Mario Kart X or Crossroads. But I changed that because of the cross worlds. Yeah, exactly.

That makes sense. I also don't think they give a fuck. But I still, I'm sticking with the X and the X can be Mario Kart 10, but also Mario Cross. And X. But when does it launch? Cross country's good, bro. I'm sticking with.

And I definitely, I understand, can be a launch title. I still think it's the month after. See, and that's where I want to go, except Metroid Prime 4 appearing at yesterday's direct throws me the fuck off. Me too. Because they're, like, they're presenting it as a Switch 1 game. And I'm like, oh, then I guess we need Mario Card at launch day. Yeah, because Metroid Prime 4, I think, would be such a sland-dunk launch game, right? Like, hey, people are going to buy the Switch 2 anyway.

And you have Switch, you have a Mario Kart there on month two to keep the momentum going and Metroid Prime 4 there to force anybody who buys the Switch 4 to have to play and have to buy Metroid Prime 4. It's the perfect heist. It really kind of, you're talking about a heist is so perfect because it really is them saying like, hey, whatever two games we're selling today, one of them is Metroid Prime 4 and like the add-on fucking, what's the, what's the, what's the retail term for it? Like just the package. Like packaging it in there. Yeah, I feel like this is their chance

to make Metroid the biggest selling Metroid of all time. Yeah, somebody in chat says people will buy Mario Kart bless, it's the best selling game. I'm saying that people will buy Mario Kart. Like Mario Kart is a, something that will help you.

Yeah, that will move units. I think at launch to have Metroid Prime 4, which is something that even though I know people are excited for it, I don't think it moves units in a way that a Mario Kart does. Having that be the launch thing, I think would be so smart, but with them presenting it in a way where I'm like,

do you believe this is a Switch 2 thing? I'm like, I don't know, man. I could see it be Mario Kart at launch and then Metro Prime 4 later on. What's up to you, yo? Nothing. I saw you come up here, tapping your temple. What do you got for me?

I'm thinking because, yeah, they're trying to push as much as they can, Metroid. Not being like the biggest seller in the past, which, as Tim has pointed out, was much like Zelda before the Switch 1, right? I think the way to do it is to not launch Metroid Prime on launch day. You launch Mario Kart launch day. You wait to do

Metroid a month in. You make Metroid this month two game because by then people have been Mario Karted out. That's the game that they focus on. And then they're looking for other first party Nintendo games to play. And then it's also available on Switch 1 for people who haven't adopted yet. See, I don't know if people are going to get Mario Karted out. Like that's such a evergreen like we're going to spend our time playing this we're going to give it updates like my counterpoint to that is that even though you know uh switch one launched with breath of the wild those early months of the switch people were fucking hungry for everything right and so i think like that's why the store that's what the e-shot was popping off with any indie game possible yeah i guess my

thing is like people are at their hungry as set the launch of the switch you know like when you're looking at that shopping cart bless when you're looking at like what else to add to your cart you're just like you're in a mode where you're like no money matters right now i'm just buying shit in the switch switch two is selling out regardless yeah like you don't need mario cart that is a big factor with this all i i feel like it's a bad idea for them to put metroid and mario card out on the same day i agree with that and so i that is my one thing i think yesterday's um showcase is what's throwing me off of the order but i do not think it'll be the same day i also think we're overlooking a little bit the conversation what you're talking about of going to the switch store.

Because if you buy Switch 2 and you go to the Switch store and they're like, here's all the old Switch games that have updates for it, right? Like, I feel like that's going to open, that kind of cracks it open in a brand new way. If people who have heard great things about this game but never actually played it. I know Nintendo has a pretty great attach rate, but I still think there'd be enough stuff of there. Like, oh, I got my Switch late and I never did this. But now they're promoting that Mario Odyssey is new. They've done something nice to it.

But it's a trip feed thing, right? Like, what if it is only? All right, the games that are upgraded are? Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and just that for month one. I mean, I'm telling you the one thing that I'm latching on to is we're not getting Tours the Kingdom. For the upgrade? Yeah. He said Breath of the Wild.

Oh, he said Breath of the Wilde. Yeah. I'm telling you, it's going to be breath of the line. I could see it. Tiers the Kingdom, like, it will eventually happen. I do not think that we get it now. I want it, but I don't think we're going to get it now. Don't do that to me. It hurts. It hurts. Don't do that to me. But I said, I could see it. Does Pokemon Legend Zia appear? And when does it launch? So far, we've just been getting in 2025s. We saw it yesterday. I figure what, did somebody predict it or did they say late

2025? They said late. Well, they said 2025. Well, they said 2025. Donald said late. I thought they did, but I might be missed remembering. I mean, either way. Like, we don't have a date. Yeah. I mean, I could see both sides of any sort of argument here. They have confirmed in their rest. There you go. Yeah, I could see both sides of any argument here saying

why showed him, we showed it enough already. We showed it twice already, but then it's also like, this is your huge day. Why not? I think they do show it. I think it's confirmed to have some kind of switch to upgrade you, whatever the hell this whole thing is. And I say they don't date it here, but I would say my prediction for a date would probably be November.

Is, okay, the way that they show off what games will be switch to a bowl. That's what they're going to call it. Do we think that that's going to be in some little you know, montage?

See, and that's where I'm coming from with it, where I think it depends on how they release Pokemon Zah, right? If there's a native Switch to Switch, a Skew, then I think we get a trailer and you have to release date and all that stuff. If it is just the Switch 1 version, even if it's booster or whatever, I think it's in a montage. Or I think it's just a screen of like Pokemon Zah. Yeah. Also, play this. The thing I'm most excited about learning is how the Switch 1, Switch 2 stuff's going to work. That's going to be so, once we know that, it's going to be so easy to predict someone.

different things, but right now it's just hard because it's like, if this, then that, then we'll see. Yeah, for me, Pokemon Legends, I think if we see it, I do think we get a release date. I hope so. Two dollars, who would have from CJ splits and ask? Will games be $70? Absolutely. I think so, yeah. Tis of the Kingdom I already was.

I think the biggest ones are. Yeah, I think they explore the scale, but... I don't think you make a, you can put out a Pikmin 5 for $70. I think it's standard, yeah. Oh, man. Oh, man. Whatever they're new one-two switches, it won't be said. Everything's going to be... they're going to function like, like, it's the same thing

with like, I don't know what a Pickman 4 equivalent is on PlayStation, but like... Astrobat. That was cheaper, right? I know, that's what I'm saying. So some things might be cheaper. I know, but like, I mean, I'm talking about $70 examples.

Like, there's a ton of $70 games that are Pickman 4 level. Like, I don't know, man. We've got ray tracing and like, you know, a lot of FPS on there. We're one order away, everybody from, just in this show, 69 orders of the Tim Farewell shirt. I'll take you.

Thank you, Texas. Thank you, Illinois. Thank you, Illinois. I think you. Western Australia where when they ordered it was like 5, 8, 5, it was about to be 6 a.m. their time. I love you watching. Missouri, you're out there, Utah, New York again, Louisiana, and you're all killing it.

Does 3D Mario appear? What's it called? And when does it launch? Oh. Yes, it appears. And it is a crossover game with Donkey Kong. And it'll come out in, what did I say last time? Because I'm sticking with that. I think I said October. No, I didn't.

I said November. I think it's November. Are Chris Pratt and Seth Rogen playing in the commercial playing the game. Yes. In the commercial down the line? Perhaps. New Jersey just pushed us to 69. Wow.

New Jersey, Jim Tan Laundry. I think it'll come October. Because Pokemon, I feel like, is usually the typical November thing. I mean, they switch. Like, that's the, that's the thing is like, I feel like there's not enough consistency. That was good. One's October, one's November. Yeah.

Yeah. I think, yeah, I think it's shown. I think, yeah, it comes out. I was just going to say back half of 2020. 25, but I'll say October, sure. I'll stick with my November being the Pokemon. I'm going to say yes, it shows up, and I also say October, and I don't know what it's called. Then next up, we got Splatoon.

Oh. What's it called? Once it launch. It's a weird one where I feel like all of us are like, oh, we just got one. But that's always the case. And it's always, it's also been a while. And when they, like, Switch or Splatoon 2 and 3 did feel like they came out pretty close together. but Nintendo seemed to desperately won a Splatoon first year of the Switch 1.

I can see them on that again. So I wouldn't be surprised to see Splatoon 4 at this event. I agree. I totally agree. I think with the numbers it does in Japan, like it just seems like a no-brainer. It'll be Splatoon, but the A is a 4. Oh, shit.

Yeah. Splafortune. Does Zelda appear? What's it called and when does it launch? Yes. It's called Twilight Princess Plus Women. Waker HD. I think there's not a chance that shows up here.

The fact that it wasn't there yesterday. It should have been, I mean, that's a yesterday, like, type of thing. These are Switch 1 games. Here's my thing. Yes. Yeah, I mean, there's Switch 1 games, but in that same screen where you see Pokemon Zah, that's how they announce it. Pokemon Zaw and Winwaker and Twilight Princess HD are also coming to switch.

The thing is, I feel like those games just don't need the Switch 2 enhancements. Those games run the way that they are supposed to. but I think it's also like one of those they've been sitting on it for so long why type of things right and if you I think for a big exciting event I think that would be a nice pop-off for people who've been waiting for it for such a long time

especially with like a new Zelda coming out last year right Tears of the Kingdom coming out a couple of years ago I think it's now we're now in the cycle of HD ports to let the new games cook a little bit you know I just think you need a Zelda something. It's a Zelda remake.

I think it's an Ocarina remake or some remake. I still am sticking to what I predicted a long time ago. I think we get a tease. I don't think it's going to be explicitly clear what it is. I don't think it's anytime imminent necessarily, but I do think similar to the Wii U tech demo thing we saw, I think we're going to get a glimpse of something and it's going to be an Ocarina remake. Yeah. I don't think there's any way in hell though there's not a Zelda thing next week. That's one of your staples. you definitely not get the like a

Aluma lead yeah yeah yeah yeah and the other thing about you saying there's definitely gonna be Zelda the one X factor is Breath of the World and how much they focus on that being the hey look at what the Switch 2

can do for one of the best selling games or whatever and that just might count for the Zelda thing that's what the double dip right it makes a big deal out of it it makes people excited about it to go back to that game get something out of their old game

have fun see what the Switch 2 can make games look like God it's gonna feel so bizarre to see any sort of before and after thing. Like that just does not feel like it. That feels like a digital foundry. I'm here to watch tech differences. It's going to be so fucking crazy to be like,

look at the draw distance. They're not going to use those terms. Yeah. Like, you know, I'm just going to be so weirded out to see like, like, this is what it looked like there. This is what it looks like now sort of thing with better lighting or whatever. How nerdy do they get with the terms is there on that? I don't think they're going to.

Yeah. I don't think so. Yeah, I think it's going to be very top level. We're going to leave with a lot of questions. If you notice the Switch 2 version is prettier. I think that's just what they're going to. I think I honestly, look at this. I feel like I'm saying 4K is going to be like the thing.

It's like, oh yeah, it's 4K now. It's prettier now. It's better now. It's 3840 by 2160. Does Animal Crossing appear? No, and it breaks my fucking heart. The only reason Animal Crossing would appear here is if it's the, these games are all Switch 2ed. You can.

Look at this. It runs better. Low times are faster. Something like that, right? God, how not... I hate that none of us assume this is the case, but how nice would it be if it was like Xbox? I'm just, hey man. Yeah.

All the games, they're just better now. Yeah. I mean, I think Animal Crossing has to appear. It could be in the way that Greg's talking about, but I wouldn't be surprised with it was like, just the Animal Crossing thing that we're not thinking about. Not necessarily the next big Animal Crossing New Horizons type game, but...

The next Animal Crossing mobile game. I mean, it's going to be something, right? This is, you're revealing the Switch to you. You have to have your biggest franchises there. That is Mario, that is Zelda, that is Animal Crossing. They have to be there in a big enough way to make people go, oh, I need to buy this thing. You don't just leave Animal Crossing out.

You and me want to plant a banger? Yeah, that's what we would do. But I really think Nintendo is like, they don't do that. This thing can just be a picture of the fucking handheld and it's going to sell. I really think that's where they're at. And they're like, why do these teases when we don't need to?

When we know that you know, we all know what we're buying. We're buying into a at least 10 year long, relationship with this thing that will have Zelda and have Animal Crossing and have Mario Cart and have Luigi's Mansion. Like they don't need to explicitly tell you, show you, tease you with that, I think personally. I just think those IPs need to be there. Like even when I think back to Switch one, obviously like we knew that we were gonna get a Breath of Wild. They had a new Mario game that was coming out that year, right? But still, you have to have Mario and Zelda in there.

You have to have Mario, you have to have Pokemon in there. Right. I think there are certain IPs that are, all right, this is Nintendo and like these are what represent Nintendo. All the things that represent Nintendo have to be present. if it's not the next big title, even if it is like, I don't know, here's that Animal Crossing theme park that's coming out. Like, you have to have something. I am, this is a Switch 2 thing. Like, they're going to focus on Switch 2 and because of that, I think that that also means Switch 1 because of like just how this works. I only were getting theme park stuff. I don't think we're getting mobile games. I don't think we're

getting any of that stuff. But I do think that, uh, to the points being made here, like, I, Breath of the Wild and Animal Crossing New Horizons are two games that I do think get the 4K or the Switch 2 treatment. My question for you, Tim, and I couldn't mean everybody, but I know Tim lives and breathes all this. For Switch 1, did they do what we're talking? Did they show Pokemon? Did they show this? That's the thing.

No. And for Switch 1, when we sat at the old desk and predicted, we were predicting like we're predicting now. I'm just like, they have to do this. They have to have all this stuff. And then they straight up just didn't do that shit. The presentation is like, here's 1-2 Switch. And here's Octopath Traveler. And here's all the stuff.

Here's Breath of Wild. We already knew about Breath of Wild. One of the best game trailers of all time, launch date, all that stuff. Excitement. Teaser or Mario Odyssey. So it's like, cool, we have that. But otherwise, we, we have. We didn't get all of the things, right?

We're in a different time now, though. We are in the, we're not in the Nintendo's still figuring it out and can they pull off the switch. They've pulled the switch off. They need to continue that momentum. So I do lean a little bit more with what Bless is saying of like, I think that this, there is a little bit more of like there has to be, you, anybody tuning in, you need to convince the people why they need to buy a switch to. Like the, not us.

We're all buying one. The random people that only play Animal Crossing and Mario Car. And one more thing I'll throw in there too is that I think Animal Crossing, right today is way different from Animal Crossing in 2017 towards the launch of the future. Oh yeah, a thousand percent. Yeah, where I, um, say I can sorry? So is Zelda.

Oh, and so is Zelda, right? And I think Animal Crossing is one of those things where to our conversation that we had, that we've had before about unicorn games or games to throw out there as far as hey, we are working on this thing. We don't have a date for you. We don't have anything but here's a tease of what's to come. I think Animal Crossing is now one of those franchises. It was the second best selling game on the Switch. I think that is

one of those carrots on the stick to make people go, oh, I need to buy this console, even though I No, Animal Crossing's not coming out for two years. Even if it's a tease, even if it's a remake of somebody said New Leaf, right? Like, there's got to be something, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's something I think can just be the Switch 2 edition. Yeah, and it could be the Switch to Edition.

Which I think that's all they need to do. I think that would get, the group that we're talking about, that will satiate them. They want more, of course, but I think that they'd be happy. Is there any way we get an update to it? God, that'd be so fucking awesome. Yeah, yeah. And speaking of that, we're doing a new season thing. Yeah.

Does Smash Brothers appear? No. Because you're talking about the unicorn thing. Smash is the one franchise that for the Wii, for the Wii, for the Wii, I guess not the Switch, the Switch, the Switch had the formal announcement,

but the Wii and the Wii you both had a, a Smash Brothers game is being worked on. Period. You know what I mean? If you count that thing, yeah, I think you probably get that. Yeah.

Right? What do you think? You're the, I don't know. The Sakurai, uh, did the little eyeball emoji thing towards the direct, but then he also did something similar for yesterday's

direct and then put out a tweet that was just like he responded to a wendy's tweet he then put out tweet just being like hey i got to be more responsible tweeting like i didn't mean to say anything so but also he's a tricky little mother yeah he put out the his messaging was basically like i got to understand that people take things out of context when i just like i'm excited about something they think that i have something to do with it yeah i think there's a higher chance of the kid icarus remaster than there is when you smash and i think i think i think it's going to happen eventually i don't know next week's the time but I wouldn't be surprised

if we see Sakurai. Whatever Sakurai is working on, I think we'll be there on next week. Roger cut the ad of the shirt. I'm putting it up on Instagram for you. Awesome. Thank you. I appreciate that.

72 orders, and the other thing about Smash Brothers is insane. Virginia and Florida, Ohio. Talking about Breath of Wild and Animal Crossing, it's like we already have Ultimate. How does that translate to switch to?

Yeah. So questions we'll find out next week. Kirby. I don't think so. Oh, you don't think a Kirby appears? I'm in a new Kirby game. Because I think we're going to get a forgotten land sequel, but I think that's a next year, January direct.

Do we know how much that sold? Sold well, but not like... Like two million, maybe two. I think more than that. Was there a Kirby thing at the Switch 1 presentation? I guess not. I'll say no. Shout out to Daniel Z for letting me know that the Kirby soundtrack

was available on the Switch. I finally downloaded the Switch music app because it has that one winter theme song. Oh, God, it's so good. Did you get the news app? I did download it. I haven't logged in yet. I know it crashed this morning. Where is Planet Robo Robo remaster? So I'm shocked that wasn't there yesterday.

Yeah. That will not be there next week. But I'm shocked that wasn't there yesterday. 7.5 million. Holy fuck. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. That's really impressive. Good shit.

Does Mother appear? No. Does Pickman appear? No. Maybe. No. does fire emblem appear? Yes.

Yeah? I think so. Farmer was that the switch one thing? Well, they teased the crossover E1 but it wasn't like a main one. Gotcha.

I don't even know if that one ended up happening at all. I'm going to say yes. I don't think so because all the rumors are Fire and Blum 4 genealogy of the Holy War. One of my favorite things to say, Andy. The good is what's coming next. And again, that's a yes. yesterday announcement. That's not a, that's a Switch 1 announcement.

Do we have a game announcement tomorrow that is super like revolving around the mouse cursor stuff? Yes. Yes. Petri. Prime. No, but like I'm thinking more of a one-two switch snipper clips type deal. This is the gimmick, you know? I think so. Luigi paint. Mouse Rio. I mean, honestly, you're right.

Paint the streets of blood with CEO blood. Mario Paint is a good. good poll. Wario paint made by the Mario Maker team. That could be interesting. I don't know why

Wario Paint makes so much sense to me but it does. It does. Some type of maker potentially. Oh man. Just think about the cursor.

Yeah, exactly. I think it's going to be a maker game. That's crazy cool. That would be awesome. And so they bring back mother.

Yes. Mother maker. And then let's move to third party games. Do they sell lap tails to use a mouse as Roger McCordiator? I did mention a mouse pad.

I do I would expect to see some sort of Nintendo branded little thing to use it for the mouse. Laptable's not a bad idea though. That is the kind of stuff you would need to figure out right for people on their couches. Third party games. I have a couple of things written here. I'm going to say them all and we'll have the discussion.

Eldon Ring. Xbox games. Final Fantasy 7. Silk Song. I think with them mentioning or was it mentioned or was it rumored that this will not really be third party focused? I thought they were the three phase rollout.

Oh yeah. The three phase. The three phase rollout. Oh, well, they wouldn't talk about this event. That's just more for like further releases. Yeah.

For the release. Yeah. It wasn't for announcements. Because that was, that's one of my least favorite freaking articles that have come out in the last year. Get the hell out of it. Christmas is Christmas time. That's all they're saying.

But now, you know, the first few months are going to be the first parties. Okay. And then when we get a little bit further, it's going to be the third parties. They're coming in waves. But that's not like,

even with that article, right? Like that's not referring to every third party. It seems like it's just, oh, there's a certain amount of third parties that just don't have the deaf kids yet. But yeah, I think Eldon Ring would be such a slam dunk of a third party to lead off with to show off like how third parties can run on the Switch 2. So I'm going to say, yeah. Yeah, Elden Ring, I think it makes so much sense. I think that's there.

I will be shocked if Elton Rings not there. That's why since day one I've been saying that is going to be their Skyrim for this of like, hey, we got this. And I also think it's going to be a statement to people of like, look at the power we have. This is what the type of game that can run. We're in the game again. Switch 2. exclusive. I think the Skyrim of this will be Skyrim.

Skyrim will be there. Do you really think Skyron will be there? I don't. Maybe Starfield. See, I was going to say GTA 5. Dude, do you think? GTA 5? Yeah.

I don't. I don't, but I like that. I like that a lot. Yeah, I say GTA 5. Because I do think that fits into like what they're trying to say. Like take this system seriously, which I know that GGA 5 is like sounds like a weird thing, but that is Nintendo being like. We can play multi-platform games.

History repeats itself enough in certain ways where it is like, I go back to the Wii U as far as the games that they're launching with on that thing of. All right, what are the games of the moment? Watch dogs, sure. Let's bring out these things. Resident Evil, Skyrim, and GTA-5 are the games that like, the game of these companies always have to like show out as far as, oh yeah, we got the stuff, we can do this technically,

and also these companies want to reach more people with their most popular games. And so I think any number of those three can show up. Twitch chat calling out the Oblivion remake. Fuck. That's good. I like that. That's good. Twitchette,

you got a tip of the hat for me. Do you think Eldon Ring, Andy? I think Eldon Ring, yes. But I'm mainly thinking about multi-platform multiplayer games. What is the, if any, the one, like, Call of Duty or FIFA or or FC or whatever the hell? I think there has to be a sports game there. FIFA historically has been very bad on. Switch.

Like, they've just, they've not been touching it. Not anymore. Like, they put up the scene. We've heard you talk about it and how garbage it is, but here it is. FIFA every year is basically the same game, but they just like, they do, they do nothing to it. Ballard's Gate 3. Yeah, I was going to say Baldersgate 3 and then also Suburpunk.

Oh, dude, with the mouse control on Baldersgate 3. I think we get Ballers Gate 3. I think we get Star Wars Jedi Survivor. And I think we get ukulele with a release date. You could replay with the release date that will be the launch date of whatever. What about Nico do is? Rico. Nigo de Rico, the magical world definitive edition. Probably not. It won't be there.

What about Ricky Stenicki? Silk Song? I don't think so. No. Fall on NC7, I also don't think so. I think we'll hear about that at Xbox first at some point. Speaking of Xbox, do any Xbox games appear? I think so.

Yeah. I... How long was Switch 1's direct? It's. It wasn't a direct, though. That's the difference. I just feel like we're getting so in the weeds and I just don't feel like that's what this is going to be that way. I think it's going to be very much this is the system. Here's what it does.

Here are the games Nintendo is making for it. And we have a screenshot of all these third party partners that have agreed to make stuff for it. They already did that. I know. I know. I think it's a montage. Okay. So that's the thing is like it was an hour seven minutes. But yeah, I'm with Greg. But I think that a lot of what we're saying can just be like, yeah, this is here. Especially if it's known quantity games like Jedi Survivor and things like that. what PlayStation Japan studio game is going to be in development by Bandai Damco that they're bringing back. I'm going to see. Shaddle Coloss.

Rocket Guardian pops up with South of Midnight question mark. That'd be interesting avowed if that was part of the Xbox stuff. Yeah. I mean, South of Midnight's not on PlayStation, so I don't think so. But I mean, like, this could be the part where you, I'm not saying is that only I want to be today. I mean, you know, Orza? Elblade.

I can see forza. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's, I'm going to get into some super chats. This will be lightning mode. before we head out into games showdown. The House Spoken says,

My Out of Left Field, never going to happen. Prediction, Smash, but with licensed characters, Goku and Smash, it's time. One day, Goku will end up at Smash. We got Sora, we're going to get Goku. This is a very different characters. Today's not the day. It's a very different characters.

All right, say whatever you want. Sora is in Smash Brothers. CJ Clocks and says, The Dark Ages. That's a good call. Yeah, I like that. What was one of your favorite video? I was one?

Oh, okay. Well, Cody Boone, right? says shout out to the boys at Coop 64 doing a sub-a-thon. Shout it to Co-Up 64. Awesome stuff. Go support the homies. Corona Rig says, hey guys, what accessories are you going to try to get for the launch? How many games do you think you'll get day one?

We'll have to see what they end up being. But I like showing up. I like getting all the fun stuff. Procontroller for sure. The new console comes out. BJ Bernardo says, I can't wait for grade to actually steal Tim Stars and still lose the season at the end of the year.

I already just read that one, but nice to read again. Copa says, if I wrote you all cards and gave them to Greg at the meat, would you actually take them? I promised no anthrax. Yeah, of course. Kind of funny.com slash Chicago. Come see me perform live in Lio,

yeah, Lila, Illinois. I'll do it. Snuggs says, Got my shirts. Snugs. Kat Bailey's going to react to Tim, losing his three stars. Give this extra money to Kev.

Happy anniversary again, Big Dog. Demon Hacker says, Switch 2, release date will be on the new Nintendo app the next day. God, I can't believe the Nintendo app dropped the Zelda movie thing. Good for them.

Come on. They're doing it. got me to download it. I'm like, oh, I got to be in the no-no. In the condition, man. 16-bitotaku says it's not a clap, but a clank of two magnets joining. I know, but how do you show a clank in human form? That's the problem. You get clank from Ratchet and Clank and have him clap.

Gene Freak says, we'll compare to the base steam deck power-wise. Absolutely not. I think it's going to be similar, but just different because of the tech architecture and all that stuff. But I think it's going to be able to run, like everyone's been saying, like, PS4 pro-ish-ish level games. Cedars Splitson says, Nintendo has Switch 1 games dated into 2026 already. I think Switch 2 will be a bit more expensive

with cross-gen in mind. 300, 350, 450, 450. 300, no way. No way. I mean, just no way. There's no way that it's not $400 at least. You're going to get there. Shaggy Sasquatch says

Nintendo don't lose money on consoles and tech costs. Under 450, you already have in guts that don't perform. O-led would be 600. Not out of the realm possibility. I just don't, I think that's a little high. Logan Jensen says, here's the important question. Will these cartridges taste the same or worse than the current ones?

Hashtag. Even a worse. Even worse. Ben Starr's licking everything, man. It's crazy. You all hear about this? Ben Starr used to lick batteries. I did hear about that, actually.

Crazy, man. Oh, because they shock your tongue, right? Mm-hmm. He liked it. That's cool. He asked what flavor it was, and I said electricity. Yep. Optimistic 92 says about a Tim's Furl Tour shirts.

You can all afford an OLED. Switch 2. Thank you. Thank you very much for that. Gene Freaks says, blessing Juneteens, the national holidays celebrate the end of slavery in the U.S. I didn't ask what? I said, Will? That's a case you didn't know. But thank you for explaining Juneteenth for me. Explain for the July next. 28149 says, colors are weirdly one of the things I'm most curious about the way the red and blue are set up on Switch 2 makes me wonder about what's to come. Yep, very interesting.

I'm interested in how it feels. You know what I mean? They're bigger, but are they big enough? Yeah, you're such a... I need my big face buttons. Goldilocks about, hey, how does this feel? I'm very interested for you to eventually get hands on with this thing. Demon Hacker says, will Nintendo make you pay for Switch 2 enhancements? Yes, it's just a matter of how. Melodic Quest says, are we getting themes back?
