Transcript

[Greg Miller]

Today in the nerdy news you need to know about a big ad for Metroid Prime 4 says it's out now and it's not a new game. Could be the next Uncharted and the future of rematch could look very bright. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of Funny Games Daily. What's up everybody? Welcome to Kinda Funny Games daily for Friday, June 20, 2025. I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller alongside Forbes 30 under 30 aka New York Game Awards nominated aka Gaslighter Blessing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

First of all, you sound crazy saying that. You must be out of your mind calling me a gaslighter. I could never. But also, yes, I brought up the song because I literally just saw your Instagram story doing like the Batman meme of like, you know, Alfred put on this gaslighter song by the Chicks. So I just wanted to like, I wanted to get the vibe of like, what is this song?

[Greg Miller]

Let's go on a walk, everybody. It's me, Greg Miller. Of course I'm holding Cole the wiener dog. As you know, we, I, we're, you know, Cole has been coming to the office more and more because Jen has been getting more and more family emergencies and you got to take care of this anxiety ridden dog, right? But he hasn't acquiesced to just being a, hey, I'll sit in your lap and do. He'll, he'll sit in my lap. But the problem is the new studio doesn't have a great lap sitting situation for a dog. You know, the old tables, the old studio, great for Portillo, but this one with the bars and stuff, like, it just doesn't work for me giving him a good perch. So then I'm constantly trying to get to, hey, Cole, sit in the middle of the table. Except we don't have a dog bed here, which I should buy and bring in because this is happening more and more and that would be. Even then I bring these blankets. He doesn't want to just sit in a blanket. So then he's just, I'm holding him here like, like, you know, because he's.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like, he's crawling out of the blanket. Wouldn't do the same thing with the dog bed.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, we got to break this dog down and build him up just like the marines do to people. You know what I mean? Basic training and stuff.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is the dog bed gonna break him down? We gotta walk me through this process.

[Greg Miller]

We just gotta train him to be like, okay, hold on, look, this is comfy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because does the dog bed come with, like, walls? Is it like a dog? Little dog, Prison?

[Greg Miller]

Putting him in a kennel on the stage?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

No.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Because he looks around and he's like, I want to escape, but I see it's that thing.

[Greg Miller]

Well, he hates the studio. Like, he. The office in general. Not a fan of always trying to get me out of it, but the studio in particular. And so if you didn't know, Cole's on many shows, except he's right there in that bag on the floor. Nobody sees. Cause if I leave him out there, he cries for me. But in here, he can't sit with me. We're figuring out as we go. So. Yes. Blessing Gaslighter.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

As you know, I like the country music. Have for a long time. The Dixie Chicks now. The Chicks, they dropped it in 20.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They dropped the Dixie.

[Greg Miller]

They dropped Dixie in 2020. When everybody's like, hey, maybe we should rethink, like, you know what? Yes. We're progressive. We'll do that. And I'm sure the world will keep up with us and not totally voted all the way back in five years. It doesn't matter.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wow. I just looked up Dixie. I'm learning a lot right now.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. No, no. A lot of people trying to. A lot of people try to get out of that. Same thing with Lady Antebellum. They just went to Lady A. But then it turned out that there was a vocalist who was also black, named Lady A, who never copyrighted her name. So Lady Antebellum got out of one controversy right into another.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's. It was what I feared, the worst possible situation. It's the exact thing I feared when you're like, oh, I'm doing the Greg Miller Parade in June. And then, like, the scheduling got close to pride. And then you're like, well, let me dodge pride. And I thought, you're gonna go right into Juneteenth.

[Greg Miller]

For a second.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I thought you were gonna hit the exact same errand. Thank God.

[Greg Miller]

You're like, I feel the things Greg can't throw a parade on.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. You're like, you know what? Pokemon Go Day is the one that.

[Greg Miller]

We can take over and over. Remember, a week from Tomorrow, it's the 28th. Yeah, the 28th. We're doing a parade. San Francisco, California. The details are as follows. 10am in front of the Ferry Building. Meet us there. We will walk the sidewalks to Square Pie. Guys, we're doing basically a parade. 10 to 12. It's not the. We'll start at the Embarcadero. We'll start in Front of the front of the ferry building at 10am we will then walk with our signs mocking Tim and celebrating me to Square Pie guys and then just party in front of Square pie guys till 12.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm excited for that.

[Greg Miller]

Dixie Chicks, though, slash, the Chicks. Yes. I. They are from a country music era that I wasn't that involved in. But I always appreciated the Chicks because, remember, they were the ones who were like, he's not our president about George W. Bush in the war in Iraq. And then like, the entire country music industry turned on them and da, da, da, da. It's like, I'd watch their documentary back in the day or stuff, but, like, music, I never would. So then yesterday or two days ago on Discover Weekly on Spotify, they're like, you like this Gaslighter song? Probably. You know, I'm like, I would. And then I was like, wait, this is the Chicks. Okay? Wait. And they is the one singing. And wait, wasn't she married to the guy from Heroes and Brother? She was. And then they got divorced. She wrote a whole fucking album burning this guy down. And I went down the Wikipedia rabbit hole where, like, when they were getting divorced, this guy tried to pull out this, like, I also, like, in whatever court document it was, this is on Wikipedia. He's like, I need access to all of her unreleased music to make sure there's no secrets about me in it. And I love it. She was like, fuck you. Then wrote an entire album burning him down for cheating. Damn.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Damn. Don't cross an artist.

[Greg Miller]

That's why. That's why I was like, I got to know more about the chicks, Alfred. That's what.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's amazing.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I was. That thing I thought about. I. Originally, the tweet was almost going to be, kevin, pull up everything you can of the chicks. I need to know. But then them changing their name also, I feel gets in the way of the joke.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Because I didn't know chicks.

[Greg Miller]

Who. The chicks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, that's why. That's why I had to look up. If I knew it was the Dixie Chicks, I would have been like, okay, that makes sense. Greg is making a weird Batman reference to the Dixie Chicks. But, yeah, I. I did have the moment where I was like, well, now I got to check out this Gaslighter song. I thought you were putting me on to a new artist.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, it's an old artist, and this is an old album. I think this is, like, also this 2020.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, yeah, it says that on the thing.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, that. But that also raises so many questions. For me, as an outsider who's looked in before on the.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

On the Chicks, hard to stop saying dude, I know.

[Greg Miller]

At least it's not like a slur. And people know we're trying. But it's like, I've looked in. Me saying I looked in on the Chicks doesn't sound right either. Whatever.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You did some research.

[Greg Miller]

And I was just like, well, wait, this is like, how many albums have they made? Like, they haven't made as many as I thought they. I thought they'd be very prolific.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Really?

[Greg Miller]

They haven't. So they're like, I gotta. I gotta drill in more. And that's why I need Alfred slash Kevin to find everything he can do.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They have, like, a big gap in their resume. Like, they stopped making.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I think this is pretty recent. I mean, for them, 2020. How many albums they put out since 2020?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean. Oh. I mean, I'm looking at it now, right? 2020 was Gaslighter. They've not released a new album since then. But before that was the 2018 looks like a live album. And then before that, 2006 was taken the long way. And so, yeah, that's. You're Talking about a 14 year gap between albums there, which I love when that happens. I was talking yesterday to Tim about Slick Rick, the opposite of the Dixie Chicks.

[Greg Miller]

Or.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Sorry, the Chicks.

[Greg Miller]

The Chicks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The opposite of the Dixie.

[Greg Miller]

Soon he'll just be Rick. Honestly, I could see it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It just goes by Ricky now. But it was the same thing where he hasn't released an Albin in 20 years and, like, hasn't missed a step. Been listening to the Slick Rick music. Oh, my God, Greg, you might like Slick Rick.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Are you familiar with Slick Rick?

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I'm sure. Give me one. Give me the most popular mainstream thing he's done.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, my God.

[Greg Miller]

If you gave me that, I could probably help you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I don't know what the most popular Slick Rick song. Oh, the Children's story is the one I know, but I feel like he's like, I think you have to know hip hop to some extent to know Slick Rick. It's not like the Chicks, where I'm. I don't think I've ever, like, listened to a Chicks song.

[Greg Miller]

But you know of them.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But I know, I know I've heard of the Dixie Chicks. Like, I've heard that name before.

[Greg Miller]

Champaign, Illinois. They were talking about the Dixie Chicks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They probably were. Yeah. Just like, they're always talking about REO Speedwagon.

[Greg Miller]

Right?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But like.

[Greg Miller]

Joke.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think they're From Champagne.

[Greg Miller]

You couldn't have nailed a more Midwest. We're at a tailgate, we're playing some Mario Speedwagon.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Still talking about our speed wagon.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But yeah, Slick Rick I think was one of those ones where it's like you had to, you have to at least be through that first.

[Greg Miller]

Every single.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, that was like, that was his, that was the thing he would always repeat. La de da di da. We would always rhyme with that.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If you heard the voice, you might recognize.

[Greg Miller]

I'm opening my own Spotify here to figure out what's going on this. But when you say lady, it makes me think of Miley Cyrus. La Dee. We like to party dancing with Molly. I mean, doing whatever we want.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Maybe she was influenced by Slick Rick.

[Greg Miller]

She probably was.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. But yeah, I, I, I think honestly, not even a bit. I think you might like some of Slick Rick's like classic content because he was a storytelling rapper. All right, we got it turned on. Wait, that's, this is how we do it.

[Greg Miller]

This is children's story. And here's La de da.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Maybe he sampled it or the other way around. I'm sure audio listeners can hear it.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, okay, okay, okay. That part got me. Yeah. Okay. I'm adding Slick Rick. I'll, I'll listen to something tonight and get back to you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Awesome. You know what? I'll listen to some, Some of the.

[Greg Miller]

Chicks do the Gaslighter album. And like it's the first two tracks flow really well of Gaslighter. And then of course, just the fall. I think it's Liar Liar or whatever afterwards, again, it's. If you just want a vicious takedown of her ex husband from Heroes, go for it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let's go. Cool.

[Greg Miller]

I'm sure this man's acted another. I don't know and I don't know any of these people from Adam, but I'm on the chick side because this music fucking dope.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh yeah.

[Greg Miller]

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Good luck.

[Greg Miller]

I'm seeing if anybody's talking ok. Jordan White's not talking about Slick Rick or the Chicks, but Shea Slay is and says, my college roommate played this one Dixie song on repeat daily. Not as bad as him spending an hour on the phone reporting his daily activities to his parents. Was it Gaslighter that he played on repeat? Because I like that song. I don't know if I could take it, you know, on repeat forever, but I'm a weirdo.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Roommate's walls just every single day. I had a moment this morning where like, usually I like to like, listen to music and well, it's the thing where I play music on my phone through the shower and I don't think it's that loud. But then like, I went to the bathroom, put on the music and then realized I forgot my towel in my room. So I like, I leave it on and then I leave to go get my towel and then I hear the music through the door and I was like, it's that loud every morning. Like, damn, I'm putting Michael H. Through it. But I got a good music taste so I'm sure he likes it.

[Greg Miller]

He probably does like it. Yeah. He's like, oh, that's sick, boys. Always.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what's up. Yeah, he says that a lot.

[Greg Miller]

He does say that a lot. We say a lot of things here on Kind of Funny because we're a live talk show network. After Kind of Funny games daily, it's a very, very, very special day. Barrett's video essay about replaying every Naughty Dog game is going Live as your kind of funny games cast. It is a live premiere, I believe, set for 1105 today. So we're. We're not. We'll keep this games daily snappy for you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We're already doing it.

[Greg Miller]

We're already doing it. We needed to tell you about the chicks in this drama for 2020. You. There's the news you need to know about. It's a big deal though. Barrett, of course, worked so hard today. Today at. I'm sorry. So he's doing that. Then at 1:30 after Barrett's naughty Dog video essay, we'll be teaming up to compete against some of your favorite video game personalities in the one, the only Mario Kart world. An epic 24 person race to raise money for Point of Pride. This is of course, Alana Pierce's Video Game Industry Mario Kart World tournament. We're very excited to participate. Blessing. Are we going to win?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, we're for sure going to win. We got a squad.

[Greg Miller]

Yep, yep, yep. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Greg way is actually 59 minutes of Mike and Roger reacting to all the Death Stranding 2 trailers to get ready for their June 27th walkathon. Of course, they've been trying to stay radio silent because they are death stranding nuts and are getting ready to walk once again while they play through all of Death Stranding 2. So a great special Greg Way from Mike and Roger. Yesterday you got a special Roger Greg Way explaining how the Caroline Polachek interview came to pass. Of course, an amazing Gamescast interview I hope you check out. But behind the scenes over there with him, I also did one because I've been short on my 15 to 20 minutes lately, so I patted in there. But then also the day before that blessing. Adio. Yay. Junior Had a Greg Way that was awesome about Pride. I really, really liked that one yesterday when I got to listen to it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[Greg Miller]

No problem. It's cool. It's interesting to listen to that and be like, oh man, me and bless never talk. And I mean, there's part of that of like, you know, the job and whatever and the roles. But to hear you just open up in podcasts all by yourself is like, damn, I really like them.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Thank you. I appreciate it. It's also the thing where I'm never on kind of funny podcasts also. So, like, I only really talk about video games.

[Greg Miller]

We put you on the podcast. You. You had a stretch where you're on the podcast. Okay, fine. You're on two weeks from now. Because I think next week's booked for the guest, but you're on. Two weeks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think two weeks from now, I'm out. Oh, no, that's the, that's the short week, isn't it, Oshucks? I don't know how that works.

[Greg Miller]

I don't know. We'll figure it out. We. We have a schedule we'll look at. We'll get you on there today. Of course, we're brought to you by our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney Twining. But we're also brought to you by Shady Rays. But we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin the show with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. Time for some new seven items on the rope for report. Baker number one on the rope. A report we've known for a long time England is a backwards ass country, but now they're playing with time. Petro Metroid Prime 4 AD on the London Underground claims the game is out now. This is from Jordan Midler at vgc. Can we trust his reporting? He's from over that way, you know what I mean?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He's playing it right now.

[Greg Miller]

A poster for Metroid Prime 4 Beyond has been spotted in the London Underground which claims the game is out now. An image of the ad captured by VGC at Oxford Circus tube station in London gives information on Metroid Prime 4 along with an out now message. At the time of writing, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond doesn't have a release date and the game hasn't been shadow dropped on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop. VGC has visited the London Underground station in question and can confirm that the poster doesn't indeed say out now as seen in our photo at the top of this article. In an update to this article, a Nintendo spokesperson has told VGC the advert date is quote unquote incorrect And Metroid Prime 4 is not, quote unquote out now quote. We can confirm that the out now message in this advert is incorrect. Metroid Prime 4 Beyond and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Nintendo Switch 2 Edition are not yet available and are scheduled for release in 2025. End quote. Of course I toss in the blue sky. That's a B.S. tim from Imran the Don Khan pointing out of course that alongside this there's also a Mario Kart World one that says out now. And he assumes that this is just a layers in Photoshop fuck up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So people are saying that, yeah, like the out now on the Mario Kart World AD is identical to how it looks on the Metroid Prime 4. And so yeah, Imran is like saying it was probably just somebody forgot to mute a layer on Photoshop. And then I think he says that it seems like something's under the out now, right?

[Greg Miller]

I mean, ready for it to go or.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, well now, yeah, now you don't have to take this down now. You just leave this up.

[Greg Miller]

Leave it up like that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's going to be true at some point.

[Greg Miller]

What is? It's like the Lee Summit, Missouri GameStop that still has the Halo 3 window wrap on it. There's always. I see it through my Reddit every so often. It's been up for 20, whatever years. The real question of course then blessing is where the fuck is Metroid prime and what are we playing?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean that's a good question. If we really wanted to dig into it, I would open up the calendar and be like, all right, how? Like what are the first party Nintendo games coming out each month? Which months are empty?

[Greg Miller]

Well I got to tell you, you know that much coming up. So it gets pretty easy to open.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It up because left for this year you have KIRBY AIR RIDERS 2. That's going to land somewhere we have a date on.

[Greg Miller]

So yeah, let's, let's play this game. Of course I want to play the game with you. Super chatting with your release date pick for the one, the only Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Does Pokemon have a release date? I believe it does. Pokemon Z.

[Greg Miller]

Well let's just go in order. All right. Don't, don't try to get all. What did you say to me?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I said go in order for me.

[Greg Miller]

I'll fight you right now. Of course next month as we know, donkey Kong bonanza, July 17th. So that right there you got your next one right in terms of your big one. Then of course we get into just a slew of games. I'm going off of Games informers. Amazing as always.com 2025 welcome back game Informer. So happy you're here. Pokemon. Did they find they put on the last one, right? Yeah. So the Pokemon Legends is October 16th.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh okay, cool.

[Greg Miller]

What is the game with the wheelchair.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Basketball Dragon Drive Dragon. Does that have a release?

[Greg Miller]

No, I'm just double checking. This is one, you know, obviously where it'd be helpful if Tim was here, but he's got to have a life drag Cross Drive is listed as a tba. So then you know June, July, we know October.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Uh huh.

[Greg Miller]

When you start looking at this so.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The games to place like the Big games place would be Metro prime and Kirby.

[Greg Miller]

Kirby, I think does have one too.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, I don't think Kirby.

[Greg Miller]

No. Am I wrong about no way Kirby.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Has a release date?

[Greg Miller]

Okay, you are correct. I apologize.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Kirby does not. I think Kirby's imminent.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Really?

[Greg Miller]

I would say that's because that's like, still the Nintendo Switch 1 Plus content thing. It's like an old game is new.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You're saying Kirby in the forgotten Land. I'm saying Kirby Air Riders, the racing game.

[Greg Miller]

Got it. I apologize.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think it's further. It's further out because we've not seen anything like.

[Greg Miller]

That's why I was confused. Forgotten land is August 28th.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I think with that being the case, I would say Kirby December. That strikes me as like a. That strikes me similar as how they did Smash Brothers. Right. Of like, yo, like, this is the game that not as. I don't want to say it's like less priority. Right. Because even Smash Brothers is super high priority when you talk about, like, what it means for the Nintendo first party portfolio. But I don't think that's a game that is necessary for that Black Friday push. I think that's a game that is very much like, you know, we think there's an audience for this, but this audience will find this game no matter where we land it. And if they're confident for 2026, which I would, or for 2025, which I assume they are, I think that makes sense. Right. Like, I think that out of all the games to put in that time, in that time period, I think Kirby makes sense. Metroid in that case, like, it sounds like. Yeah, I was gonna say it sounds like we don't have anything right now.

[Greg Miller]

Currently, you would say September, November and December are open slots for Nintendo, with Donkey Kong being July, Kirby in the Forgotten Lands, August, Pokemon in October. Theoretically, then you have that other air. You have Air Riders, you have Dragon Drive, and then you got Metroid.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. And Dragon Drive, I think, can drop whatever. I don't think there is like a big. I'm sure there is a strategy around.

[Greg Miller]

Putting out the games that we know or whatever is going on.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. But, yeah, Metroid, I think, is the one that you want to create a moment for and give space to. So I would. I want to say September, but I would almost like lean. I think November could work for it as well. Right.

[Greg Miller]

Like, my problem with November, and I know it's a quaint thing at this day and age and world. The world has Moved on. But Black Friday, how much time do you want before then? Are you putting on the front of November? I guess it would make sense you could do that. I'll tell you what my granted my heart dreaming but my thing to move units in what is going on within Animal Crossing. Nintendo Switch to Edition. Every time I bring it up, Tim says no, this is what should have happened. It's a good thing, Greg. You're gonna get a. They're gonna give you a Nintendo Switch to Edition with more. With a new thing or new what? Like yeah, if that's really happening. Is that happening this year? And I would say if you want to bury the needle like you want people buying this thing that already loved Animal Crossing, you do that. And if I. If I'm Nintendo and I'm doing that, I'm putting that out in November when people are going to the stores. Those more quote unquote casual fans. Yeah. Going to the stores. You want to be able to see a Nintendo Switch to version of Animal Crossing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think that's a. It's a good point to make. But I can also see Animal Crossing being like a bomb that you save for 2026 as far as.

[Greg Miller]

Of course. Yeah. You can unleash that whenever you want to.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah. Like that is like an unleashed situation. Right. That's not a release that is. All right, unleash Animal Crossing.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

One thing I want to bring to the equation that I totally forgot about and I knew I was forgetting something in this was Hyrule Warriors. That's also another one that's going to be I think treated as a big first party drop that you want to be able to give the space. Right. And that will be the big Zelda for the year. That being the case, like I think I do lean towards September for Metroid, November for Zelda, Hyrule warriors and then December for Kirby.

[Greg Miller]

That'll be my hate that from the chats cognitive clip says for what is worthy art book for the prime trilogy got delayed from June to October eyes. But I like it tomorrow please. An interesting one here from Kebabs. He I'm sorry, they are saying April 4, 2026. If I'm right, pay the super chat back for what?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

For Metroid.

[Greg Miller]

Metroid Kebabs. I'll tell you straight up if you. If you are. Yes, I will someone write that down or clip this for me right now.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's gonna spice.

[Greg Miller]

Right. They are saying April 4, 2026, not only will I pay back your $2 New Zealand super chat, I'll triple it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, they're from New Zealand.

[Greg Miller]

Apparently that's what they're paying in. Maybe they're just, you know, how much.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that in American dollars?

[Greg Miller]

I mean, by then we'll all be dead of the nuclear fallout. It won't matter.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's gonna be worthwhile.

[Greg Miller]

I can either afford the six New Zealand Joey bucks, whatever the fuck they're called, or I'll be dead. I don't have to worry about it. Look at that. Oh, I was not far off.60 cents on the dollar.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I was making a bit. That's crazy. Yeah. 60 cents for the. Oh for one. Okay. That actually makes sense. Yeah. No, I think Metro prime is coming out. Coming out this year. We've had too much marketing for it. And I think that's one. Like. I think you could. I think as Nintendo you could delay Kirby Air Riders. You could delay like other games like a Dragon Drive, I guess. Right. But like I think Metroid the ship is already gone. Like the. There's so much in movement. I don't think they would confidently put it. Put it up front like this if they weren't sure this game was coming out up front.

[Greg Miller]

How though? Just the ad. I mean the ad in general, I don't think you'd be doing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Not even the ad I'm talking about. Well, I think one, the ad, but all the marketing involved. Right. I think it being in the. In the. Nintendo directs it being so present this year in the Switch 2 stuff. Metroid prime is one of those games that because of what it's been in the last, I'll even say decade from announcing it for Switch one. It disappearing. It's starting over developers, all that stuff. I don't think they want to create another scenario where they have to announce a delay for this game because I think that turns into really bad press for Metroid Prime. 4.

[Greg Miller]

Here's my counter to it. Not that I think you're wrong. I think. And I think the ad. If I. If I'm Nintendo and there's even a hint of us delaying this to 2026. Not even the out now business. 2026. I'm not putting ads up in the tube. Yeah. I'm not worried about it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

London Underground, which is a crazy name for.

[Greg Miller]

They call it Tube too.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. But I mean I just. For when I read London Underground, I think I knew it was called that but I was like, man, that's a. It's a cool name for your subway.

[Greg Miller]

You want to. I'll tell you right now, why don't we call it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Why do we call it the BART.

[Greg Miller]

If we name this thing Area Rapid Transit.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, but like, we're naming it after a.

[Greg Miller]

Don't get me started. I got plenty of problems.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

London Underground.

[Greg Miller]

What I'd like. So that's, like, news to you, the underground of thing, right?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's not news, but I'm just thinking about it deeper now.

[Greg Miller]

There was once a heated argument at the Miller James house where Lucy James forget even how we must have been 19 bottles of wine deep on a Covid night of, like, her talking about how iconic the underground and the logo is. And I'm like, no one here knows anything about that. Like, the New York subway is the subway people think of. She's like, no, they think of the underground. I'm like, I assure you, no Americans are jumping to so. And I know I'm being very. I was being very pejorative with my no Americans, but, like, sure, sure. People aren't thinking of the underground. They're thinking of this. And we just argued and argued and argued around about it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Here's the thing is I only know of the London Underground because I love my. I love my. My UK like dramas. I love watching Luther. I love watching these shows.

[Greg Miller]

Right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And, like, they'll mention the London Underground. And I think, here's the thing. I think this is like, the first time I've heard it in the context of being like, oh, this actually exists. You know what I mean? Like, I think I watch it in my shows and I'm like, damn, the London Underground. That's fucking cr.

[Greg Miller]

Crazy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And then, like, I go on with my day. This is the first time where I'm like, oh, that's a real place where they're putting real Nintendo ads in.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And it's such a. It's. It's such like a. On, like, I was gonna say upside down from Stranger Things scenario where, like, Metroid Prime 4 is out now in the London Underground. Sure, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Insane over here. Good for them.

[Greg Miller]

All right, so we're saying Donkey Kong July, obviously Kirby and Forgotten Lands August. You're saying Metroid Prime 4 in September, which I like.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But then I think so I like that. And what I think's interesting about it is if I was gonna have it in September, I would really. I'd probably kick off that announcement next month. Right? Yeah. So, I mean, you figure, get Donkey Kong out of the way and then start talking about that coming.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

So that would make sense why they're getting ads up, even though I don't Think the date would have been there, but you get ads up so people are stoked about that. All right, then October is Pokemon November you were putting Hyrule, you said.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And then December is Air Riders.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Dragon Drive somewhere in the mix.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Dragon Drive. Yeah, anywhere. Dragon Drive could be tomorrow. Either tomorrow or December 31st. I don't hate somewhere between that.

[Greg Miller]

Logan Pharrell says November release date for Metroid Prime 4 period. But then goes further and goes, maybe the game awards. Not a chance. This is a physical game. This is a big deal for Nintendo. They are not going to shadow drop this. If anything, I guess I. Every year we're reminded that no one really does care. But I care. So I'd be like get this out before Game War nominations are cut off. Hopefully hoping it's that good. Get it out in early November because that's always such a. I think that's.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

A really good call actually because you.

[Greg Miller]

Know, everybody loved Indiana Jones. So I'm sure it'll be nominated of this year for game awards. Yeah, yeah, for sure. For sure.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, we're in, we're in agreeance here.

[Greg Miller]

Sounds good.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We've laid out Nintendo Slate, dose of.

[Greg Miller]

Nostalgia super chat and said late June slash, early July direct for Metroid Prime 4. Okay, hold on. They're trying to get it all boiled in with this few characters. Late June slash, early direct, early July direct MP4 announced for September 3d Mario in November, Animal Crossing, Spring 2026. Let me be delusional. You are incredibly delusional. Not a chance. Yeah, no 3D Mario super delusional.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But I don't, I don't doubt the Metroid Prime 4 specific direct. If you're going to do multiple of these like, like game focused directs, this is the year to do it in Metroid Prime 4 for sure is the kind of game you want to do it for. Right. Like that is a game that you want to drum up the audience that's going to have a hardcore core audience for that game that's like excited, that wants to see the nuts and bolts, that wants to see the mechanics and like I think us here would be so down to live react to that. Especially if you have it be anywhere near as exciting as the Don Kong bonanza one was, which I expect. Yeah, like for sure. Do a 20 minute direct about Metroid Prime 4 in July announcing the release date.

[Greg Miller]

We will wait and see. Mike super chats for our final Metroid 1 and says imagine there being a London Underground Easter egg in Metroid Prime 4 in light of the situation, it would delay it even longer. Nobody wants that. Just get it out. Just get it done. All right. It's time.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

London Underground. That's so cool.

[Greg Miller]

It's a cool name for sure. Yeah. Like, we don't mind the gap. Does that mean anything to you?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mind the gap.

[Greg Miller]

No, thank you. Another thing I was arguing. This might have actually be where the conversation started with Lucy. Oh, like, no. Nobody here knows what that. Nobody cares about that here. If you've gone and you've done it or you've seen or you met a Brit, you understand it. But, like, whatever. And don't get me wrong, I'm not talking shit about the tube, about the underground. I fucking hate public transit in the United States. It's ridiculous that we didn't do this. But of course, we're ruled by car companies and the oil barons. That's why we can't hit nice things.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But is that just the thing of, like, don't fucking die as you're going?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah, there's a gap there. You could die.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, shit.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Mind the gap.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You should do something about that.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, you know, they just made tough people who don't understand or maybe are getting games earlier than us. We're not 1000% sure what's going on. It doesn't matter. Blessing. Greg, I want to talk about the next story, which I think would push us too far in for the ads. So let's just do the ads here. I'll remind you, of course, that we couldn't do this and have shenanigans and have fun and talk about the chicks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The chicks, Slick Rick.

[Greg Miller]

I don't feel comfortable saying. I'm talking about the chicks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You know, it's a proper noun. You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

What, the cool chicks in there or something? Put something else in.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The cool chicks.

[Greg Miller]

The D chicks. You know what I mean?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Okay, well, the D chicks, I don't think rolls the tongue.

[Greg Miller]

I should have been in there to try to spitball some new names. We couldn't do this kind of stuff without you. So thank you for your support.

And we're back. Thanks, Tim. Number two on the rope Report neteases surprise reveal of a new aaa. Wuxia. Wuxia. Wuxia.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Woosha.

[Greg Miller]

Woosha.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's how I would think.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, Woosha. Game Blood Message has fans comparing it to Uncharted and Tomb Raider. This is Vicky Blake at ign. You say let's react to this trailer. I say let's fucking roll. But my question is, should I read the article first or you want to just go in blind on the trailer?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let's go in blind on the trailer. Because I've not watched. I've seen clips of the trailer, but I've not watched the full thing.

[Greg Miller]

I better see some gameplay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it looks like Uncharted already.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yo. A scorpion coming out now in the desert sand.

[Greg Miller]

Good call for audio listeners. Yeah, there's some doubloons when the Tang Dynasty reigned. The lights along the Silk Road shone from the western regions all the way to the capital. Star gods and Buddhas still favor the Hexagon. I'm serious. I still want to give it another try.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Cinematic trailer so far.

[Greg Miller]

The blood we shed today is for bring the Tang Dynasty.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

24 Entertainment who does Naraka blade point.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, okay. Out of the city before it's destroyed. Oh.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So we're looking at gameplay now.

[Greg Miller]

Assassin's Creed.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Now uncharted. Sure. They're like crawling. Yeah. Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It very much gives. Yeah. Charted Assassin's Creed vibes. Third person action looks really good. A lot of melee combat. We're seeing way more cinematic that I thought it was gonna be clean.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, me too. It looks great. Father. I've decided to join the Shazao. Upright to the tank. That's a suicide mission.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, some sword combat. This looks good.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. This looks so good. Oh, that brings back again.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

Victory, defeat our. But towers of sand scattered to the wind. Only the suffering of all living things remains. Tomb in heaven and earth. Oh, Catching the door. Just playing a chart of bear. Come home. Your mission is meaningless. So it's a father son journey too. Fate will show you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It seems like sword combat is the main method of combat.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it definitely vibes. I mean, it has the cinematic feel of Uncharted, but it's got that Assassin's Creed looking game. Yeah. Nothing will change. So there's more people to die for.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But it's like Assassin's Creed via like how Naughty Dog. Yeah, it's actually. But you can kind of see those cinematic moments. Interrupt it.

[Greg Miller]

Get out of the desert without my help. Go. Oh. Oh. Found like a tomb or something. Just clim. Oh, here we go. Here's a sunlight mirror puzzle. Hell yeah. It's uncharted.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's a really good trailer for a brand new game.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Let's go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Also, I'm sure we'll talk about this in a second, but like, this is the kind of kind of trailer that should have been in a showcase.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah. Jeff. Jeff could have had this for some episodes. The gods won't save our tribe. I will. And she's walking on fire. Fire and stuff's falling. A big guy and a sword standing in the flaming wreckage.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, Lucid Dream says that costs several hundred dollars, though. I'm not saying Jeff showcased specifically. I'm just saying, like, this is showcase quality as far as what this trailer is.

[Greg Miller]

Each and every one of them is prepared to death. That's cool. That's cool.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like this would have been a great get for any showcase.

[Greg Miller]

Imagine the 618D showcase.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's like. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Now for the. Now for our favorite independent developer. Net Ease.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like enclosed out the hole direction. This is the end of the. You see some dust fading off the wall, revealing images. You wouldn't call those hieroglyphics.

[Greg Miller]

I forget what you would call. It's just art paintings coming to PC.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So the game is called Blood Message. I forget if we mentioned that earlier, but are you getting an alert? Is that your alarm? Somebody calling you.

[Greg Miller]

Hello, Lucy James from Gamespot and from Britain. You're on Kind of Funny Games Daily.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No.

[Greg Miller]

Nothing. I was just recounting how it was so funny to see you from your little pauper nation, come over here and think people understood the tube or mind the gap or the underground.

[E]

It's so easy and intuitive.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no, no, no. Not that. How to use it. Remember? I remember us having a drunk argument during COVID about how iconic the tube was and how iconic the underground was, and me being like, people here don't know that. And with the mind the Gap thing and all that jazz. Really? Yeah. You guys.

[E]

You guys want to, like, co op the royal family and you have little viewing parties for the royal wedding or whatever. Whatever. And you don't appreciate a real cornerstone.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Hold on.

[Greg Miller]

I'm.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I've never had a viewing party for.

[Greg Miller]

The royal family Blessings. Never had a viewing party. But it's. Here's the thing is, like, that's. See, Let me. Let me take you on a walk here. Are you familiar with the bottle City of Candor? Are you familiar with the bottle city of Kandor?

[E]

No. What's that?

[Greg Miller]

This is from Superman, of course. It's a. It's a city that Brainiac bottled and he had to keep in the fortress. People like to look through the bottle at the city, but nobody wants to live in Kandor. So, like, we like to look at y' all doing this thing, but nobody knows anything other than you boil all your food.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's.

[Greg Miller]

We know.

[E]

You know, you know, legitimate complaint there about boiling.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you. Thank you.

[E]

At the same time, do you know how difficult it was for me to go from living in a city where I could get anywhere I wanted to for really cheap, really quickly, to the land of the car. And I don't drive. This is a slight on me, this America, but you guys just don't have good enough public transport.

[Greg Miller]

That's 100% correct. You're correct on. But you should learn to drive. Like, you know, if you bought a car once, you made that initial investment of like $30,000, then it's pretty cheap to use. Except for the smog stuff and the registration, the license, the insurance, all that's. But I mean, like, still.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean, you really got me there.

[Greg Miller]

I love it. No, no one is insulting the tube. The tube is amazing. I wish we had.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That has a cool name.

[Greg Miller]

It has a great name. Yeah, yeah.

[E]

Tube.

[Greg Miller]

All right, thanks, Lucy.

[E]

I don't know. Someone messaged me and they were like, you're slagging off the tube. And so I came on to defend. But if that's not the case, then.

[Greg Miller]

Now, I'll tell you right now, as an American, as. As an American slagging off the tube. Okay, I wasn't going to say.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm glad you said it.

[Greg Miller]

All right, let's love you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Doing what to the tube?

[Greg Miller]

You want to do what to my tube?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's crazy.

[Greg Miller]

You want to slag off my what?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You slag off the what?

[Greg Miller]

That game looked awesome. You have a press release here, I assume we covered most of it, but. Surprise. Net East Thunder. Oh, this is Vicki Blake at ign, not the press release. Surprise. Netease. Thunder Fire has just revealed Blood Message, an all new action adventure game that looks wuxia. Wuxia? What is wuxia?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I just know how to pronounce things.

[Greg Miller]

That's fine. I like that. Described as a story driven single player action adventure set in ancient China, Blood Message will feature cutting edge technology to heighten immersion in an epic blockbuster experience.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wuxia, literally martial hero, is a genre of Chinese fiction that focuses on the adventures of martial artists in ancient China.

[Greg Miller]

That's awesome. That's fucking right. I'm a wuxia fan. I didn't know. Players can expect a deeply emotional journey with gameplay quote anchored in cinematic storytelling and quote in visceral realistic combat that blends stealth and survival mechanics. You'll visit diverse landscapes right across eastern and Central Asia. Blood Message is an upcoming third person linear action game developed by 24 Entertainment Studio and Nete Thunder Fire. It introduces a forgotten odyssey of loyalty and survival where players join Dunhuang's uprising taking control of a nameless messenger and his young son in an immersive third person action adventure. Quote Caught in the crossfire of a righteous uprising and driven by loyalty to both family and country, players will embark on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of the war torn homeland. Teases the blurb amidst the shifting sands of history. They will etch a final tale of loyalty. Now that's a fucking lie.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's really.

[Greg Miller]

That is a bar right there. Blood Message is coming to PC and consoles, although a release date has not yet been confirmed.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I have quite a few thoughts.

[Greg Miller]

Please.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'll start off with what a hefty trailer for a reveal that showed us both a lot of cinematic but then also a lot of gameplay stuff which makes me not feel like this game is like far, far, far away. Right. Like I wouldn't be surprised to see this come out in like the next couple years. Maybe next year or the year after.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Would that be crazy to say?

[Greg Miller]

No, I don't think so. I mean this is always that problem. I would start the conversation with what is everyone's interpretation or take on NetEase. And I think that's the thing is that you're seeing, I feel like NetEase start to make these moves where they're not just the mobile game thing, they're just not this mobile tie in. And whether it's successful or a game for you or whatever, you have to recognize that it seems like they're trying to shift a bit into a console PC landscape. They're usually not. And that's known for.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's one of the other thoughts I have on it is it's so interesting and cool seeing this coming off of what Black Myth Wukong did last year. Like when you want to talk about what the AAA space is right now and how much the AAA space is growing in countries like Korea and also China. When we're talking about this and talking about Black Myth and talking about other things, right? Like I think this Net Ease, if I know Net Ease for anything, right? It is the mobile stuff, right? But it's also like they know how to make money. Net Ease goes where the money's at. And seemingly right now in the China ecosystem of video game development, it seems like the money is there as far as one AAA video games and how much that audience has a growing hunger for that. Evident by how much we, how well we saw Black Myth Wukong do. Right? But then also games that take place in China, Black Myth Wukong I think was great, did well and all that stuff because of the Chinese developer. But also they used Chinese mythology to really build up this groundswell of interest and passion coming out of that audience. This being a Wusha game, right? Like I think it's going to speak to that same exact audience. And I wouldn't be surprised to see this do very similar numbers as Black Mythical Kong. As long as it's backed up by good gameplay and good graphics and cinematics and a story that's there, which is a big ask. But even, like, what's our slogan when it comes to black Myth?

[Greg Miller]

Wukong was Black myth. Was Black Myth combat. Was black combat bad? No, it's just not great.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Exactly. That's a game that, like, I think really excelled with cinematics and presentation. And, like, the gameplay was fine. Right. I think if this game comes out and already we're seeing the cinematics, already we're seeing the setting, we're seeing, like, them lean into the uncharted Cross Assassin's Creed style of, like, how could the game looks and how. How high fidelity and high budget it seems. I think that's almost enough. Like, I want. The gameplay should be good too as well. Right. But like, already you're starting off on a foot where I'm like, oh, that's gonna sell millions and millions.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, no, if they can live up to what they showed there, that seems like a great game. That seems like a great time, a great thing that appeals to not only just fans of, like we said, Uncharted or Assassin's Creed, but yeah, if you can bring in the Chinese audience with, like, hey, we're in this genre y' all love, clearly, then yeah, yeah. And so I hope that's right and I Hope to see NetEase continue to do that. Like, I think we talk about so many people who are in companies and all these things, and I'm not saying NetEase is a great company, but I'm saying we talk about these companies that are just making the mobile game to make the money to do the thing to keep going. Like, if they're turning around investing that into bigger experiences and trying to grow their portfolio and make really good games, that's great for them. And I hope that that's what we see out of it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. It strikes me again, similar to Blackmouth and also like, similar to stellar blade. Of seeing 20. Was it 24 Entertainment Studio in Net east under fire. Right. Like, 24 Entertainment coming off of Naraka strikes me as the stellar Blade studio coming off of their Nikkei game and entering into the AAA space in the Liza P. Studio doing it as well. Right. Of having these titles that are way different. Like, I might be mobile focused or multiplayer focused or smaller scale hopping into the AAA space and doing something special. Like, I think we're going to see more of these types of games from these kinds of studios that do have funding from like, NetEase or these other places make these levels of AAA game experiences with probably more capability than we're seeing from a Ubisoft or like a lot of western studios that I think are struggling right now with making that work for them.

[Greg Miller]

Sure, yeah, yeah. You've got that financial backbone. Right. Whereas it's not the reverse of it where the giant places that have been doing forever, like, oh shit, well, how do I make money in between those things? Or I'm chasing. We tried to make a fortnight that failed. Now we're fucked.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Exactly.

[Greg Miller]

We tried to make a Candy Crush and we made 19 of them. You've never heard of them, but they're killing everywhere, so.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Exactly.

[Greg Miller]

Let's talk about some more success stories. Number three is two big sales number stories number or three a rematch has 1 million players. We go to their official Twitter at play. Rematch. 1 million unique players in 24 hours. Seeing so many of you jump into rematch on day one is incredible. The heart emoji. We use the hands. The whole team is super grateful and already hard at work on fixing and improving the game. We are just getting started. Soccer ball emoji.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I've been saying this since the betas, but this game is going to be super successful.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I've had back and forth conversations with people about like, whether it should have been free to play or. Or not. And like I really lean on. I'm glad they're charging the price for it. I forget check and correct me if I'm wrong. Right. But like it's like $30 or $40 to. To buy. But then also it's on game pass.

[Greg Miller]

Thirty bucks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Thirty bucks. Thank you. It's on game pass, which is gonna be really good for it. But I think even beyond that, this is the kind of game that I think people will spend money for. I think people, it's soccer, it's fun. I think it. It presents really well. It has that social media like badge of like, it's. It's a really shareable game as far as we can do with clips as far as like, I think how you're gonna capture people with that element of it, like this game is built for success and I hope for success because I want to see it continue to build.

[Greg Miller]

Slow clap. Come on. The seafood devs, they deserve it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They're very talented.

[Greg Miller]

Studio, you're of course trying to review this for us next week on a gamescast, correct?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, looking forward to that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I got many thoughts already.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, oh, yeah, he's percolating. And then 3B, of course, is Lies of P has sold 3 million copies. We go to the Lies of P. Twitter. 3 million puppets or 3 million humans matters not. We hope you enjoyed your stay on Karat. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Hashtag Lies of P. Hashtag thank you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I wonder how much, if anything, the DLC pushed that final number here.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, for sure, it must have done quite a bit for it.

[Greg Miller]

Did you go back to the dlc? Have you had time? I know you've been busy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I've not had time. And this also is the thing that comes back to, like, my struggle with dlc, where it's so hard to put myself back into the mind frame of a game that I beat years ago.

[Greg Miller]

I know it well. Number four on the Roper Report. Thanks to Borderlands 4 fans, this handy feature has been added to the game. This is Darren over at GameSpot. Following a recent wave of Borderlands 4 previews, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has confirmed that one fan requested feature will be in the game when it launches in September. While a mini map won't be in the looter shooter, a radar will, making situational awareness of the battlefield much easier. In a lengthy thread, Pitchford spoke about how fans have been asking Gearbox to add this feature to the game. Many people from the European, US and Asia preview tours were advocating for it, Pitchford said, so the studio managed to make this happen.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Kev, if you. If you're able to, can you do me a favor and, like, go to the tweet and then scroll up to, like, the top tweet just to show people how long this fucking thread is?

[Greg Miller]

32.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You don't need all the. First of all, Randy Pitchford. Randy, they'll never make me like you. But there's you. You are. You have the check mark. You have more space to tweet, I'm pretty sure, right? You have more characters to tweet with. And then also, if it's this long, just put in a blog post. I know you have access to a blog, I just don't. I just don't fuck with the framing of this. Why are you. Why do you have a 32 tweet. Tweet thread. End of rant.

[Greg Miller]

But, hey, good on the developers for adding this. We talk all the time about, oh, we're doing an alpha, but it's not really an alpha. You're shipping in two weeks, you're not gonna make any changes. I like that. Just based on previews and fans talking on whatever. They're like, okay, we can do that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's a great feature to have also. I'm so excited based off of the previews we got the other day for Borderlands 4 now. Yeah, everybody's saying really good things about it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm a Borderlands guy and like I said, coming this one, I haven't been starving for it. It feels so I've actually been blackout on it. I didn't read the previews, I didn't do anything with it. So I'll be excited to get my hands on it once I'm getting my hands on it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh yeah.

[Greg Miller]

What?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, nothing.

[Greg Miller]

You started grinning early. I did something.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, no, I was thinking about. I was thinking of war. Rainy pitch for dunks. But I was like, I held myself back. Listen, being somebody's number one hater is a full time job.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And I'm trying to put in work.

[Greg Miller]

I appreciate that. Number five Fortnite has a new hit mode and for once the game's main Battle Royale option is no longer most popular. This is Tom Phillips at ign. Log into Fortnite right now and you'll find the game's most played mode is very unusually not the main Battle Royale option. Instead it the new Blitz Royale instead. The new Blitz Royale is currently ruling the roost. But what is it and why is the fresh offering from Epic so popular? As the name suggests, Blitz Royale matches are meant to take less time overall and power up players much faster than in classic Battle Royale offering. The mode's map, currently based on Fortnite's classic OG island is a fraction of the size, building is disabled and there is an in match leveling system to grant weapons and power ups. Meaning there's no need to spend time scrounging for loot. That said, other Battle Royale staples remain a fast moving storm circle, limited inventory and need limited inventory. And there's something about Darren wrote this in a way or Tom wrote this in a way that's breaking my brain and it's a Greg problem, not a Tom problem. A fast moving storm circle, limited inventory and need to be the last player standing over the next four weeks. Epic Games has yet to specifically state that Blitz Royale will be permanent edition. Various loot pools will be offered including items and power granting medallions from classic Fortnite eras.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We talked about this a little bit the other day of like them adding this.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, an announcement. I made sure I got it into the games daily thing and I also tossed in the streaming thing of like this sounds cool. Like I haven't had time to kick the tires. I've been in death stranding review mode.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But I was like, I mean, now I have. Now I'm like, oh, I should really check this out.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

100 sounds fun. And seeing that it's successful and people are liking it makes me want to jump in more.

[Greg Miller]

What was interesting about it, and I'm sure you. I know you read the stuff that I sent over and you saw it yourself, but they were so clear of like, it's this new thing perfect for mobile. Of course. Celebrating the fact that they're back on mobile devices and phones.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like that.

[Greg Miller]

Stuff like that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I wonder how much that's kicking it up. Right. Of the return to the phones. People are excited to be back in that. I still haven't. I want to try it, but the problem is I don't want to buy the Superman battle pass because I'll never use the Superman skin. But then someone sent me the LEGO Fortnite tweet where of course, if you unlock it on the battle pass, you get it for LEGO Fortnite. And I'm like, I also don't play Lego Fortnite, but there's a chance one day I will, like, do I need a future proof LEGO Fortnite by getting this Superman?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I say you do.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you. I.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That, you know, I mean, honestly, this is one of those things where I'm with you. I think you should do it. Future proofing support.

[Greg Miller]

That's great. You talked me out of buying that $50 Captain America skin for that mobile game one time.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Because you were. Yeah, no, you were right before. Night is timeless.

[Greg Miller]

You were right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, yeah. Listen, I'm here to enable and disable when it doesn't make sense. When it does make sense. And I think this one does make sense.

[Greg Miller]

Sense.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You're going to play Fortnite forever. It's a game that's going to be around forever. Your son is going to want to play five years from now.

[Greg Miller]

That's a great point.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He's going to see that Superman skin and go, oh, we have. That's a really good point.

[Greg Miller]

That's a really, really good point.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Do it for your future.

[Greg Miller]

I like that similar, similar thing. Don't worry, we'll get you out of here, Bear. Hasbro has done another full size proton pack. This one 1984 proton pack that like, is. I have, you know, you see my. I have multiple proton packs.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But you've seen the most recent one. It's like beat up because it's supposed to look like an afterlife proton pack. Right. They've a new one, but it's also than $300.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, it's like a physical item.

[Greg Miller]

My thought was, of course I have my other proton pack that the Arizona Ghostbusters made for me and I paid for. But like that one's really heavy. So one day Ben is going to need a full size proton pack.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, when you put it like.

[Greg Miller]

That, you know, you put it like that because I could go back to the heavy one, but I'll be so much older at that point.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I am all for future investments.

[Greg Miller]

And so I said it to Jen and she just laughed. She didn't say no. But then I got to the pre order page and I was hovering. I was like, oh man, 300 right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Now I'm not as on this one. Compared to the Superman, I don't think.

[Greg Miller]

This one's gonna go anywhere. You know what I mean? Also I have the two packs, so it's not like a blessing. Yeah, me buying a Superman skin, me buying a proton pack, me listening to the chicks. These are all huge stories. If I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news you needed to know about, where would I go?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You'd go to our last story, the Wii News Channel where we cover news items you need to know about.

[Greg Miller]

Number seven. Wii News publisher tells Nintendo to pull its own game from Switch to Eshop while it waits for backwards compatibility patch to go live. This is Vicky Blake at IGN Limited Run Games has asked Nintendo to remove the GEX Trilogy from sale via the Nintendo Switch to eShop until there's clarity on when a patch will be deployed to address the problem. The game's backwards compatibility ability.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That was a story number six that's been demoted to I have good news. Is there an update on this? Is it back? Did they fix it?

[Greg Miller]

I've been only lightly paying attention. No. Well, I mean you. Some of you idiots wanted codes, so then I gotta. I'm on every GEX goddamn email now. So here we go. I have breaking news then from the GEX people in my inbox. Nintendo updated the Switch 2 firmware last night and we're happy to announce that this has resolved the backwards compatibility issue issues with the majority of our carbon engine titles.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Nice.

[Greg Miller]

Since we do not have clarity on when GEX trilogy, maybe it's not the same thing. Since we do not have clarity on when gex Trilogy on Switch 2 will be fixed in firmware, we submitted our own patch last week to correct the issue. Due to the Juneteenth holiday patch Approval this week's delayed, but we expect that to be able to issue the patch early next week.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So they fixed other games they had.

[Greg Miller]

In the meantime, we have asked intended to remove. Oh no, this is just for.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

This is the new story. Yeah, this was going on. This was before I deleted all the rest of the story. But yeah, the rest of the story did clarify all of this.

[Greg Miller]

Y' all, if you're a geck sicko, it sucks for you right now, but it'll get good one day. Don't worry. He'll be okay. Don't worry about it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'll let you know that Once Human.

[Greg Miller]

Is getting custom servers and their annual showcase has been announced for July 2, 2025. PAL World Cross Tides of Terraria launches on June 25. Mafa the Old country has gone gold. Yeah. God damn. That's coming quick, isn't it?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It.

[Greg Miller]

And from Sega, we are excited to announce a new partnership between Sega's iconic ninja franchise Shinobi and Dirty Magic, the upcoming apparel brand from young Dirty Bastard of the Wu Tang Legacy. That what they call themselves.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Woo. Legacy. I mean young Dirty Bastard I assume is the son of old Dirty Bastard. So I wonder if Wu Tang Legacy is like.

[Greg Miller]

Got it. That makes sense. Plus, limited release merchandise is now available at Hot Topic. Hell yeah. Okay. Of course. Barrett's massive gamescast. I replayed every. Naughty Dog is coming up as a live for you momentarily. So let me truck through some super chats for you. Okay. Up here. We missed one. Yeah. Jordan White wanted to make sure we saw the Blood message trailer. We did and we enjoyed it. Have fun. Hey guys, I'm going to Japan this winter and have never owned a portable console. What is the safest bet to buy for the flight? And do you have game recommendations? I'm open to most genres. Thank you for all the content.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh wow.

[Greg Miller]

Tough question.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, it depends on like what you're. What ecosystem you're in. I really I vibe with the Steam deck because I'm now I'm just strongly in the Steam ecosystem rather than having a PC at home and then Steam Deck for on the go. So my automatic recommendation would be Steam Deck and as far as a game blueprints would be automatic. But also I'll throw in there a balatro or even I've been playing Hollow Knight on the Steam deck and it's been a pleasant experience. So those are my three recommendations.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, for me I would go the opposite of worrying about the device and worry about the game. What game would you want to play on this trip? Right. You know I'm obsessed with my raw ally. Of course I have Steam. I have Windows through that or whatever. So if I was doing that and just sitting down and playing a giant open world RPG on the plane. Buy a battery pack or make sure they have plugs. I would do that. But if it is that, hey, you want to be playing Metroid in that side or you want to be playing Animal Crossing? Or you want to do that? Switch to There's a million. Great. You can't go wrong. But I would build it around what library you want. My computer is wigging the fuck out on Here we go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is it scrolling through the thing?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it was like locked. Right. There it goes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mine does that all the time.

[Greg Miller]

Why? I've never had that happen before for there's a birthday tax down there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh. From side of fries. Side of fries. Right. Sin it says birthday tax. Enjoy the weekend, everyone.

[Greg Miller]

Here we go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Happy birthday. Side of fries.

[Greg Miller]

CJ splits on says will intergalactic look similar.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I assume they're talking about similar to Blood Message called Blood Message.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Blood Message.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Not a great name for a game.

[Greg Miller]

No.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

In my opinion.

[Greg Miller]

No, I agree with that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But maybe it'll grow on us. I mean, similar how? In terms of fidelity or in terms of style?

[Greg Miller]

I think it'll look better. We'll see.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Mr. Hawk says any chance of making Blessings, pride, Greg way available to everyone. An honest account from a perspective we don't see a lot. It's a great one. And I were talking about this last night. Yeah. Spoilers. Next week we'll make a live for you while we're still celebrating pride and everything else. But for now, act surprised when that happens.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And then s' mores and Oreo says lies of p devs got a bonus switch, twos and a paid holiday for hitting the sales milestone. A huge win in my books. Now wits in round eight are killing it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We did talk about the switch to bonus I think yesterday or the day before, so. But that's really cool. Really awesome for them to buy. Buy like 300 doves switch to and get them all bonuses for the game doing well.

[Greg Miller]

I think every company should do that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Just like kind of funny did.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, there it is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, you guys got me switched too.

[Greg Miller]

It's great. Kebabs writes in for a you're wrong. Just like you can at your wrong or kind of fun.com you're wrong and says more Wucia. It typically involves lone warriors traveling the land and using their mystical powers as they encounter people in need across the Land works like Journey to the West. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Dragon Ball are three of the most recognizable wuxia works in the West.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We need more. And this is going to be me speaking from a complete place of ignorance. I was going to say we need more story like genres within genres. You know what I mean? Because I love it when people talk about a wusha or a spaghetti western or isekai. You know what I mean? What is such a specific thing? But then a million stories spawn from that premise. I always find it cool.

[Greg Miller]

Hell yeah, I agree with that 100%. That's cool stuff. And that everybody is your Kind of Funny Games Daily Right on time for you to go watch the premiere of Barrett Courtney's massive video essay.
