Introduction

In this episode, the Kinda Funny Gamescast team delves deep into their final predictions for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Hosted by Tim Gettys, Greg Miller, and Blessing Adio Ye Jr., the discussion encompasses a wide range of topics, from system enhancements and accessory upgrades to game announcements and third-party integrations. The hosts engage with their audience through live interactions, including super chats, ensuring a lively and dynamic conversation.

Release Date and Pricing Predictions

The team begins by speculating on the potential release window for the Nintendo Switch 2. Tim Gettys leans towards a mid-June launch, citing industry rumors and internal insights.

• Tim Gettys (00:52:24): "I think June makes a lot of sense... the rumors and leaks point towards that timeframe."

Greg Miller, however, counters with a more conservative estimate, suggesting a July 11th release date based on historical launch delays and marketing strategies.

• Greg Miller (31:47): "I'm sticking with my July 11th prediction based on past presentation patterns."

Pricing:
The discussion shifts to the anticipated pricing structure. The consensus leans towards a base price of around $400, potentially increasing if an OLED version is released.

• Tim Gettys (17:25): "I think the Switch 2, no matter what, is $400."
• Andy Cortez (21:44): "I think it's gonna be $400."

Greg speculates that an OLED variant could push the price to $500, emphasizing Nintendo's strategy to maximize revenue by offering multiple SKUs.

• Greg Miller (20:54): "I think that's way too much if it's an OLED Switch 2, we're talking $500."

System Features: HDR, OLED, and SKUs

A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the technical upgrades expected in the Switch 2, particularly regarding HDR support and the possible inclusion of OLED screens.

• Blessing Adio Ye Jr. (11:09): "Yes, the system will have HDR."
• Tim Gettys (14:20): "I do think there is a fair chance such as a 30% chance."

There's debate over whether Nintendo will replace the iconic "snap" sound with a "clap." The consensus leans toward maintaining the snap to preserve brand identity.

• Greg Miller (12:17): "I'm locking in. They stay with the snap."
• Tim Gettys (12:04): "Lock it in, everybody. I'm with Bless. It's happening."

SKUs:
The team discusses the likelihood of multiple SKUs, drawing parallels with the Wii U's varying storage capacities and color options. They anticipate Nintendo offering at least two versions: a standard LED model and an OLED-enhanced variant.

• Greg Miller (19:58): "That allows you to go do the OLED version in x amount of years."

Accessories: Pro Controllers and Joy Con Colorways

Upgrading accessories is another focal point. The hosts predict new Pro Controllers and a broader range of Joy Con color options to accompany the Switch 2 launch.

• Greg Miller (32:37): "There'll be a new Pro Controller... not too crazy different, but noticeable upgrades."
• Blessing Adio Ye Jr. (38:35): "I think they're still sticking with the Switch ethos... just offering more color schemes."

They also discuss potential new accessories tailored for the Switch 2, such as specialized holders or enhanced docking stations.

• Greg Miller (40:36): "We could have something like a mouse pad or lap tables for easier cursor use."

Game Announcements: First-Party Titles

The conversation transitions to anticipated first-party game releases, with a strong emphasis on flagship titles like Mario Kart, Zelda, and Animal Crossing.

Mario Kart: The hosts are confident that a new entry, potentially titled "Mario Kart Crossroads" or "Mario Kart Super Circuit," will debut as a launch title.

• Blessing Adio Ye Jr. (51:41): "I'm gonna say just Mario Kart."
• Tim Gettys (51:53): "I'm sticking with Mario Kart X or Crossroads."

Zelda: Speculation surrounds the potential inclusion of remastered titles such as "Twilight Princess HD" and "Wind Waker HD." There’s also talk about a possible new Zelda game leveraging Switch 2's enhanced capabilities.

• Blessing Adio Ye Jr. (61:37): "I think they have to include Zelda... it's a staple for Nintendo."

Animal Crossing: The team anticipates updates or new iterations that take advantage of Switch 2’s hardware improvements.

• Blessing Adio Ye Jr. (68:13): "Animal Crossing has to be here... it's one of those franchises that represent Nintendo."

Metroid Prime 4: While expected, there’s uncertainty about its exact release window and whether it will coincide with the Switch 2 launch.

• Kevin Coelho (62:34): "Launching Mario Kart first and Metroid Prime 4 later would maintain momentum."

Third-Party Game Integrations

Third-party support is crucial for the Switch 2’s success. The hosts explore potential games that could showcase the new system's capabilities.

Elden Ring: Widely predicted to be a key third-party title demonstrating the Switch 2's enhanced performance.

• Andy Cortez (73:08): "Elden Ring would be a slam dunk as a third-party launch title."

Other Potential Titles: Games like "Final Fantasy 7," "Silksong," "Baldur's Gate 3," and even multiplatform games like "GTA 5" and "Forza" are mentioned as possible inclusions.

• Blessing Adio Ye Jr. (75:00): "Games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk could be part of the lineup."

Community Interaction and Super Chats

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage with their audience via super chats, addressing fan predictions, feedback, and humorous comments. Highlights include:

• Cupid Scenarios:

  • Ben Star (70:15): "Hasht. Ben Star licking everything, man, it's crazy."

• Fan Predictions:

  • Gene Freak (79:12): "Will Nintendo make you pay for Switch 2 enhancements? Yes."
  • Logan Jensen (79:03): "Here's the important question. Will these cartridges taste the same or worse than the current ones?"

• Host Promotions:

  • Greg and Tim promote their exclusive merchandise available on the Kinda Funny store, often referencing in-jokes and ongoing show dynamics.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

As the episode wraps up, the hosts consolidate their predictions and express excitement for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. They emphasize the importance of staying tuned for live reactions and further discussions post-event.

• Tim Gettys (82:56): "This is our Nintendo Switch 2 Direct predictions. Hang out with us next week, we'll be live all day."

The team signs off with gratitude towards their supporters and encourages listeners to engage with their content across various platforms.

Submit your thoughts and opinions as YouTube super chats as we go. A little housekeeping for you. You already had an amazing episode of Kind of Funny Games Daily with Greg Miller reuniting with Mike Drucker. How was that?

[Greg Miller]

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 write for the Tonight show and then he's written for Samantha Bean.

I want to make sure I didn't screw up. Good game, no rematch. Kind of funny.com drucker.

[Tim Gettys]

And then after this we have a kind of funny game showdown that I am totally, totally not scared about at all.

[Greg Miller]

I don't know why.

[Tim Gettys]

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 up. Something in the control room of the phone started ringing and I thought it was Greg. No mistake in the video.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

So it's only one a day.

[Tim Gettys]

You know what I mean?

[Andy Cortez]

You know, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

God. But here we are. What's going to happen today? Who knows? I don't know and I'm not happy about it.

[Greg Miller]

These are nice things.

[Tim Gettys]

Anyways, then after this no stream or after that no stream because we are celebrating Kevin's 10 year anniversary here at 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 Patreon producers Delano Twining, Carl Jacobs and Omega Buster. We do have a Greg Way. What is it today, Greg?

[Greg Miller]

Today's Greg way is about 12 minutes of me talking about the Tim Gettys farewell tour. Thank you Tim for that amazing transition. Of course, as everybody knows, the music has I have Stars in the bank blessing. Explain to them what that means before.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

The season of the bank.

[Tim Gettys]

No.

[Greg Miller]

You made this up, don't you?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Before this. You don't have to give me the microphone. I have a microphone.

[Greg Miller]

I have a consummate professional. I am Mr. Stars in the bank, sir.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Greg won a tournament getting him the briefcase. He gets the cash in this briefcase whenever he wants to to steal at least one of Tim. I don't. The rules are shaky.

[Greg Miller]

Carl Jacobs said that it was three and you didn't fight.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Carl Jacobs doesn't make the rules I.

[Greg Miller]

Make on the show. And you huh. And you nodded.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I said huh before he said the thing and he just gave Me like a look.

[Greg Miller]

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 held it. Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

Nice.

[Greg Miller]

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 2 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 given. Yesterday was the gift of honesty.

[Andy Cortez]

It was a good week.

[Greg Miller]

The first day was the gift of cake.

[Tim Gettys]

The gift of honesty.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, you tell me all the things Nintendo's done wrong over the years.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, and I farted your car. I told you that. I was honest.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay, you're right.

[Greg Miller]

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 on out here. All right? What you're all gonna be getting is something that I think is pretty special. If you didn't know. If you didn't know. Game Showdown is a very successful, popular game show here on Kinda 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 kindafunny.com store. You can go get your Tim Gettys Farewell Tour, of course. Designed by the immaculate campfire designs. You see the detail, right?

[Tim Gettys]

You're my boy. Okay.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Why would you do this to me?

[Greg Miller]

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 2 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.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't want.

[Greg Miller]

I don't want you. I've done this a long time.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Sure.

[Greg Miller]

And a lot of you know, I'm Batman, you're Robin. Maybe you're Nightwing at this point. You know what I mean? But you've learned a lot from me. And one of the things is. Oh, These audiences on the Internet, they get mad when you lie to them. So if you lied to them 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. I publish phone numbers real quick. I. I don't mean to.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

Anything can happen on the Internet. All right? So I want you all to know that I have used the company card. I bought all three of you shirts already. So they'll be coming. You can go get your shirt. Kindafunny.com store what's that? Yeah, Barrett, I bought you one too. Don't worry about it. Great.

[Tim Gettys]

Yesterday, Greg, many years ago we started this company. You know, it was about 10 years ago, about the time that Kevin first started, right? We put out a shirt that I'm pretty sure to this day is our lowest selling shirt of all time. The Sean Finnegan likes hiking shirt likes a party. And Kevin Koala likes the parties right behind that. Why would anyone want to buy this? You know what I mean?

[Andy Cortez]

Well, saying they've already bought this.

[Tim Gettys]

No, I don't think anyone's going to buy this. I don't think a single person going to want to support this nonsense.

[Greg Miller]

Tweet or Blue Skeet, your confirmation of the order at. Please, Gettys, let's please do not do that.

[Tim Gettys]

Do not tweet at me.

[Greg Miller]

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 two. The Easter egg. What I love about this.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Do you notice anything special about the farewell?

[Andy Cortez]

It's split in half.

[Greg Miller]

Why would it be split in half?

[Andy Cortez]

I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

Finally we know what the sword sound is in Game Showdown. It's cutting Tim's dreams in.

[Andy Cortez]

See, I like that. That's really nice.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I've always wanted Game Showdown merch. I didn't know.

[Greg Miller]

Here it is.

[Andy Cortez]

The handle of the briefcase. Oh, shit.

[Greg Miller]

Got a CM Punk vibe to it. I love it. Oh, Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

Campfire kills it.

[Greg Miller]

It's harder to recycle when you do that.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, everybody, today we're brought to you by Stash and apparently the Tim Gettys farewell tour [e-mail] store.

[Greg Miller]

Can you imagine if I had an ad that you didn't know about? They would have ran. That would have been fucking awesome. Bear, remember that for next time.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I'm gonna win Stars in the bank again.

[Kevin Coelho]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Holy crap. A massive super chat from Jessica Hinkle.

[Tim Gettys]

Jessica hinkle saying, Happy 10 year anniversary, Kev dog. We love you. Thank you so much, Jessica.

[Greg Miller]

Jessica. That's very sweet, but this was kind of my moment. It was kind of about the shirt and the farewell tours. That's kind of up.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you, Jessica.

[Tim Gettys]

Thank you, Jessica. Oh my God. BJ Bernardo super chats in saying, I can't wait for Gray to actually steal Tim Stars and still lose the season at the end of the year. I believe in Tim Gettys. Thank you so much. That won't happen exactly that way. I will win, but I will not be stolen from.

[Andy Cortez]

I love that I'm just an audience member on game showdown. I get to just watch it all go. I was saying the other day, I.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Was like, you might win for you.

[Kevin Coelho]

Every once in a while.

[Andy Cortez]

I was saying the other day when it was only kind of beauty. I was really good.

[Tim Gettys]

I was like really good. I love, I love it.

[Andy Cortez]

Sounds really good.

[Tim Gettys]

Get Eddie the stats. Let's see.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, give me the stats.

[Tim Gettys]

Topic of the show, everybody. It's toss, toss, toss, toss. It's the official final Nintendo Switch 2 predictions. Bless. It seems like every couple days we have predicted this Nintendo Switch 2 event 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. Slash kind of funny games. YouTube.com/kind of funny games. And then you can get all of the coverage later on podcast services. But.

[Greg Miller]

But you want to be there live for when I get these stars, don't you?

[Tim Gettys]

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 to direct itself. The gamescast breakdown. We have some fun things after that.

[Greg Miller]

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. Cat Bailey knows a lot about Nintendo.

[Tim Gettys]

She does.

[Greg Miller]

She'll be hanging out with us for the Nintendo Switch.

[Tim Gettys]

Very excited about this. I was talking to her gdc. She's very excited to be here reacting to Nintendo. So y'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 didn't. I don't think we're going to need to do the lock in our. Our predictions and all that stuff. If we have pizza bets we want to make. If 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. I'm saying I like it. Cool. I want to start with the most important thing. Will the snap be replaced by a clap?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes.

[Andy Cortez]

Yes.

[Tim Gettys]

And we know what already has. Sound wise. But visually, yes.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh.

[Tim Gettys]

Because we have the. In the transition, they always do the snap. When we have this man in the direct, what's he gonna do?

[Greg Miller]

Man?

[Tim Gettys]

What man's it gonna be? I don't even know.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't. Oh, okay. 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.

[Kevin Coelho]

Do you think they teased it yesterday with Miyamoto going direct?

[Tim Gettys]

Well, they always do.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

That's the OG that was the old ignorance.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I. I come down on yesterday. I think it's going to be a clap mainly for how the joy cons are going to attach this time around.

[Tim Gettys]

Right.

[Andy Cortez]

We're.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

It's magnets, Tim.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, we're going magnets, and so they're.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Going to clap onto that thing. We've heard this, like, it is a clap sound. I think that. I think they're going to want to drive that home with, like, how they brand it.

[Tim Gettys]

Right.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

How they visualize it. I think it does make sense to go from that to I'm team clap. Yeah. Clap it out.

[Tim Gettys]

These men are going to clap.

[Andy Cortez]

Andy, I think it's too far.

[Tim Gettys]

It's Nintendo.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I.

[Greg Miller]

That's the. That's. That's the problem is that I'm not trying to be spicy here, but I'm locking in. They snay with the snap.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh.

[Greg Miller]

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 gonna get used to it.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Do you like the snap?

[Tim Gettys]

At first, we all made fun of.

[Greg Miller]

We all made fun of it.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

But. Okay. But, like, I think it's rare that anybody does a snap. And that, to us, is so Nintendo. If somebody just does this, that, like. But that just signifies somebody smashing their hands together. And I don't know. I just don't feel right about it.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Think about them doing it. I don't think about them doing it in a Nintendo way, though, because they're gonna emphasize it and just. It's gonna be. It's gonna be. It's gonna be that. And we're gonna be like, all right, that's kind of weird. But then two directs later, we're gonna be like, I kind of with. That's the hotness.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, Lock it in, everybody. I'm with. Bless. It's happening.

[Andy Cortez]

No Team clap. It's a snap. It's just gonna sound cooler. It's gonna.

[Greg Miller]

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. And the sound is similar. It's not the same similar. Not the same, similar.

[Tim Gettys]

One sounds like snap.

[Greg Miller]

Real quick.

[Andy Cortez]

I love this super chat from Snugs. He just got my shirt. Cat Belly's gonna react to Tim losing his three stars. Give the sexual money to Kev. I don't. I don't. You know, Julie, should we prep Cat Bailey on.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, she watches all this, I'm sure.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

She watches all of it, I'm sure. All right, let's get into the meat of 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, because it does sound like a snap in stereo.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes.

[Tim Gettys]

You know, it sounds like a clap of the magnet sucking them things to the switch to everybody.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Hold on, I'm trying to find it.

[Tim Gettys]

Here we go.

[Greg Miller]

Here we go.

[Andy Cortez]

It's definitely such a clap.

[Tim Gettys]

It's just everyone.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

That's a clap.

[Tim Gettys]

That's a clap.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Andy, you've been in flc. Definitive clap. Like, you've used. Like.

[Andy Cortez]

That's a different snare.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

That's a clap. That's not a snare. That's not a. Like, that's a clap right there. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Think about it. System questions. Release date, price, amount of SKUs will it be OLED. Will it have HDR? And what does the C button do?

[Andy Cortez]

It will have hdr.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, changing your tune now.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm changing my tune, but by accident. I don't know if they'll announce it. I don't think that they're gonna, like, really focus on. There's gonna be like, oh, we shipped. Oh, nice. Good job. You guys got hdr.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, that slipped in.

[Andy Cortez]

What's hdr, by the way? Like, they don't know. They have no idea what it is. But there will be absolutely no oled. That is like a pizza bed. I am willing to die on Feed me pizza until I. My corpse is just bloated, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

So let's continue with the HDR conversation.

[Greg Miller]

Who are you betting against, though?

[Andy Cortez]

Tim. Because Tim is, like, so set on.

[Tim Gettys]

So I guess I'll jump here. I'm making a pizza. Bet on this. I'm not making a pizza.

[Andy Cortez]

Tim is so set that I feel so confident in this, and it feels that you're coming at me at my beliefs.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm coming.

[Andy Cortez]

No, but even the OLED thing.

[Tim Gettys]

No, no, the OLED tapes back.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't know what games cast. We were on the OLED thing. You were like, how are you so sure about this?

[Tim Gettys]

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 be. You know what I'm saying?

[Andy Cortez]

Kind of sitting on a fence right here.

[Tim Gettys]

We were arguing about the hdr. There will be hdr.

[Andy Cortez]

The HDR was like a. Like, mainly like a kind of a goof, just because they, you know, Nintendo rarely gives a. 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.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm more than that, though. That is. That's obvious. Of course I want. I'm gonna be so pissed if there's not an oled.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, there will not be.

[Greg Miller]

No, there will not be.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

No, there will not be an oled.

[Tim Gettys]

Here's my thing. I think that there's a chance that there is. I really do think that there's a chance that I think there's a chance tomorrow. Two SKUs, you know me out. But I think it's higher than that because this is them that 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 skus. 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 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. A fair chance, I would say a 30% chance.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

That there'll be two SKUs and the Switch 2 will be $400 and the OLED Switch will be $500. And that just makes sense. They'll make hella money.

[Andy Cortez]

I hope it happens simply from the standpoint of executives at Nintendo, who are people, higher ups at Nintendo that are playing games and enjoy and being like, are you serious? We're not gonna 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?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. With the hdr, the one thing for me is I'm not sure that the Switch, if it's not oled, 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.

[Greg Miller]

You gotta have hdr, right? Like, I feel like you gotta have HDR at this point.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I mean, do you gotta.

[Greg Miller]

No, you're Nintendo. But I feel like you gotta have it at this point.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I think it'll be there.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Again, this goes back to like the argument that I made when 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 Nvidia. 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 baked this shit in. We don't even make them without HDR anymore. You got to get the hdr.

[Andy Cortez]

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 no way. And you're like, oh, okay. And I'm just so kind of used to that. I'm not. 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. 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.

[Tim Gettys]

Ironically, kind of crazy.

[Greg Miller]

There's no uniformity to these PC games.

[Tim Gettys]

But I mean that's the thing is that I do think that as advanced microphone advance, that's a private conversation. 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 HDR and it does like auto HDR and it 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 there's no chance that they don't have HDR.

[Greg Miller]

Interesting.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

So the switch at launch only launched with one SKU for 300. The Wii U launched with two SKUs for 300 and 350 respectively. Do you know what the difference between those SKUs were for the Wii U?

[Tim Gettys]

It was a storage space and the color. The Wii U was white or the nicer one was black. And the Switch 2 or Switch 1 had the two SKUs that would just.

[Andy Cortez]

Gray and the color.

[Tim Gettys]

The gray or the color. Joy Cons.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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 SKU 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 it's one SKU, I'll think 400. If it's two SKUs, I think you figure out a way to have one of those SKUs 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 6. I feel like that's way too much.

[Tim Gettys]

No, not. 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. But that's the thing. There's all this stuff. I, I think that the Switch 2, no matter what, is $400. So let's imagine those ones.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I'll say $400.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. $399.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't think. Yeah, I don't think it'll be cheaper than that. I would be really shocked if they went with anything cheaper than 400.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I don't think I could see.

[Andy Cortez]

It'D be more expensive.

[Tim Gettys]

I can't. Without OLED, I, I can. What do you think?

[Andy Cortez]

Minimum 450.

[Tim Gettys]

It's crazy.

[Andy Cortez]

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, as a large company.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

And I think it comes back to the conversation of who is the switch 2 for? You look at the way they've marketed it already and you look at 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.

[Andy Cortez]

Right.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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 2, 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 to drip feed it to the rest.

[Greg Miller]

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 the what do they call the light, right. Where it's locked in and you can't take the joy cons off. You go down or stay at that thing. Right. Stay at 399 or go to 350 empty. But I think they're anticipating. Yeah, I, I 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.

[Tim Gettys]

Everything that we've heard is Nintendo is more prepared for this than any launch they've ever had. Yeah, said that 100. Yeah. It's gonna be very difficult because I.

[Greg Miller]

Feel like it's gonna be scalper central for sure. But I do think you might be blessed 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 going to be so many people flooding trying to get this thing.

[Tim Gettys]

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 Switch to and I think that where 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 since Mario Kart to hey, this is why you need to get in here. And that that is why I'm still leaning on I 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 SKUs to just maximize like and to get that and he's saying like even if the prices are higher it's like people would be willing to spend a hundred dollars More for the OLED because they're used to it, because they want it.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

What is the audience for the OLED though, right? I look at the OLED audience as like a significant audience, but also not part of that first wave of like 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.

[Tim Gettys]

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 standard.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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. And she's asked 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.

[Tim Gettys]

But that's the thing is I, I also think that it's an easier sell than 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 jordy of people listening to the show would buy the OLED version over the other version because they care about gaming. I think the care about portable nint all. If they're just gonna play on their dock, it doesn't matter.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, I, 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 the Again, TVs used to be so expensive and now it's like, I can buy this Sony OLED for $400. Whoa, cool. Oh, and it looks a lot better. I think it's. I think Eloy 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 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Thing though, when we're talking about Switch 2 and pricing it and trying to figure out how to get into those hands?

[Tim Gettys]

I think I, I, the last thing I want to say on this, because I don't want to like go too long on this. I know that I, I'm already being annoying because like the chances of this, I'm saying, but the chances of this actually happening are slim. You know, I'm saying I, 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 2 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 good. So I expect that, I hope that this Switch LED screen is as good as that portal screen.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

My, my other question with this is what are the other ways we can see multiple SKUs happening? Because we talked about the Wii U, 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.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't think it matters because the SD cards, Micro SD cards, yeah, like those are so ubiquitous at this point and you can, I think they'll be the same thing as the Switch, so I feel like onboard memory is not as big of a factor.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

So is there anything else that would lead to more SKUs aside from joy.

[Greg Miller]

Con colors, Color schemes, Right? Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

But you would like charge the same for those?

[Greg Miller]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I'm thinking of like if you were to go for multiple prices.

[Tim Gettys]

I doubt it. Yeah, doubt it. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Interrupt. Sorry, real quick. Joey shared a link where I can live track all the orders of the Tim Gettys farewell tour shirt. So I want to thank the 32 orders that 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.

[Tim Gettys]

All right, so we talked about price. I feel like we're all kind of in alignment there and all that stuff. Release date. Bless.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Ooh. I kind of pull up the calendar. I mean, I firmly believe June.

[Greg Miller]

Do you believe that because of the rumors or you just. That's where you would have been to begin with?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I believe it because of the rumors. It was 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.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you to Texas.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you, Texas.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Thank you, Texas. Well, I don't know actually, I take that back. I'm not thinking Texas for sure.

[Greg Miller]

Bought this shirt.

[Tim Gettys]

Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

I firmly believe the rumors that mid June. June 15th or whatever that that date was. Oh, a couple more fireworks.

[Greg Miller]

West Virginia.

[Andy Cortez]

West Virginia. Nice.

[Tim Gettys]

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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Minnesota.

[Andy Cortez]

As long as it's before summer game festival. Yes. I mean that would just be ideal.

[Greg Miller]

Just so we could have let. We gotta take a flight. We gotta.

[Andy Cortez]

Please.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Coverage wise, we want it after. Right. That'll be really good for numbers. If we can go for summer game fest into then switch.

[Greg Miller]

When is SGF is?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

6 June.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. Okay.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

So like if we can get it coming out like the 13th.

[Greg Miller]

I don't know if that's confirmed.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh, I'm retired that week. Release of the 20th. I'm gonna say 20th just for my Friday, the 20th. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

All right.

[Greg Miller]

Indiana.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

When is Juneteenth actually? Because then I'll probably get that next Monday off. We'll figure it out. I'll talk to Nintendo.

[Greg Miller]

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.

[Tim Gettys]

The Nintendo Friday, March 3rd was when 2017 is when Switch 1 came out. No, no, no.

[Greg Miller]

I'm sorry, no, but remember, they did like we're doing a tour or whatever.

[Tim Gettys]

Like that's coming up, right? It's about to happen.

[Greg Miller]

Yes, but they had multiple dates. I remember when they did it. What's the last date in there?

[Tim Gettys]

I think it's around May 15th.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. See?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. So yeah, Nintendo World store is opening May 15th.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. So June makes a lot of sense. England. Woof. Wow, Governor. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense to me. Then to. 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 might go live have on Direct Day as well.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. Yeah, that'll. That all tracks for me.

[Tim Gettys]

It does.

[Greg Miller]

Ohio. Oh, there it is.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm sticking with the prediction I made, despite all the rumors and leaks and stuff and people talking. I've. People taught me a GDC as well. Definitely made me think June. But I'm sticking with my July 11th Friday. July 11th.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, okay.

[Tim Gettys]

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 gonna 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 gonna get the. The pre orders and all this stuff. It's gonna be for next month, and it was March. Everything's just a little further than we expect. So July 11th.

[Greg Miller]

New Hampshire. Washington, Illinois, North Carolina. Scotland.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

Kansas. Please refund your purchase.

[Andy Cortez]

Skull.

[Tim Gettys]

And yeah, let's move into accessories.

[Andy Cortez]

You could change your feet.

[Tim Gettys]

Joy Con Colors. Will there be a new Pro Controller and any other new accessories?

[Greg Miller]

I'd like to jump to Pro Con Pro Controller after that. Yeah. Fuck yeah. There'll be a new. I don't think it's gonna be radically different, but they're not gonna miss the opportunity. I expected to work with my old Pro Controller as well, but they will do this. And you assume it's gonna have that C button on there which will be the push of like, oh, you should probably get it. You know what I mean?

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, sorry. We didn't even talk about the C but button. What do we think the C button is, man? Because 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.

[Andy Cortez]

Think we were talking about that a.

[Kevin Coelho]

Lot yesterday on games.

[Greg Miller]

Interesting.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't think they put that on.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, that's a great call. Yeah. Yeah. Well maybe you would. Then you do the gyros of the controller.

[Tim Gettys]

That's a gyro though, right?

[Greg Miller]

Like that's trying to think of some.

[Andy Cortez]

Some G button there. The G spot.

[Greg Miller]

That's what they call it. That's what they call it.

[Tim Gettys]

There's still the theory of it's the cast.

[Greg Miller]

But Jen must be know a lot about Switch too because she's always calling.

[Andy Cortez]

Embargo.

[Tim Gettys]

But yeah, I. 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 to 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 teaser.

[Greg Miller]

So you think I hit C, I take them off, hit C and that's when it goes blue.

[Tim Gettys]

Bloop. Mm.

[Andy Cortez]

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 hardware toggle to say now you're in cursor mode feels a lot easier and less. Less annoying.

[Tim Gettys]

Plus, any thoughts?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I mean, cursor does sound like it makes sense. That's the thing is I. It's tough. I go back to the Roger. The Roger Damas thing. Right. Of like, all right, this is to cast to your Nintendo Switch Doc or whatever. Which I think would be a genius idea. But yeah, I don't really have any concrete predictions. I'll say cursor.

[Greg Miller]

My. That's my thing with the casting is that I've gone. I. When that I was like, yeah, that makes so much. And then it's like, wait, does that make any sense? Because you're just put it in the dock. Like it's. You know what I mean? Even if I'm casting to a TV without the dock, I mean, if you're doing latency and shit, like, why would I want that?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Maybe it's a dual screen experience kind of thing. But then like we start to get so many steps 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.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah. 100. How many games would take advantage of that? True advantage of it.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Exactly.

[Kevin Coelho]

Roger was claiming laziness. So just like, ah, you just want to be on the couch and then you hit C and then you cast to the thing.

[Greg Miller]

But yeah, but that's just.

[Tim Gettys]

I think, I think that the latency and all that stuff like, like those problems are solved for the type of. We're not playing valorant. You know what I mean?

[Kevin Coelho]

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 pain in the ass. Why would I go through those steps, especially with Nintendo hardware, trying to communicate with a different brand of hardware. I can just bloop and then it's on the tv.

[Tim Gettys]

You know, in my experience, the casting has been great. I don't think it needs a dedicated button.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Like I think that, that, that is very much a software go in, click a thing and it's done.

[Andy Cortez]

But I also think Nintendo's weird and sometimes dumb enough to just do shit like that anyway.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

So like I, 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.

[Tim Gettys]

That's why.

[Kevin Coelho]

The other instinct that I also have is like, if you're playing with the Joy Cons 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, I'm saying.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I'm following you. Yeah. I don't like casting. I've cooled on casting for that. What the button is cursor mode. Makes sense of do it. But even then it's like it's only.

[Tim Gettys]

On one of them, which makes it interesting. But like I don't think that necessarily dual cursors.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Because I was gonna say, are you always Is the right Joy con always gonna be the mouse one? Because it's config. Yeah, that would actually make sense.

[Tim Gettys]

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. You're right about that two mouse situation.

[Greg Miller]

Because it could be games though for two players, right?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

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.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I guess in my brain. Right. Like the way that a right Joy Con 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 Joy Con. That's such a in the weeds thing that I'm like, if you're doing it for a Mario Party minigame or some and you don't even need to like click like that, then maybe I should see it.

[Andy Cortez]

Do they call it something cute like cursor fun or, you know, some cursor new character.

[Tim Gettys]

I haven't heard cursor mode, like until Barrett said that. Like that's. I think that's it. Like, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Instead of mouse mode or whatever.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Maybe clippy clicky, click, click, click. Tendo.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh.

[Greg Miller]

Three purchases from New York, one from Colorado.

[Tim Gettys]

Great.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you, New York.

[Greg Miller]

I don't want to thank you all should have got together. It's send them to one place in New York.

[Tim Gettys]

All right. Accessories, Joy Con controllers. New Pro controller. Other accessories. So, yeah, new Pro controller. I think there will be. Greg, I don't think it's going to be too crazy. We already saw the Joy Con grip. But there's a new one.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Like. Yeah, right there.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, that thing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Yeah. Do you. Obviously we're getting the. The black with the classic switch inspired inner colors. If there's an oled.

[Andy Cortez]

Because not classic switch.

[Greg Miller]

Ah. But it harkens back.

[Andy Cortez]

I just want it to be red. I want it to be more red.

[Tim Gettys]

More neon.

[Andy Cortez]

It's Coral.

[Tim Gettys]

Coral, Colorado.

[Greg Miller]

Back at it.

[Tim Gettys]

Do you guys think there's going to be any other Joy Con? The new Joy Con colorways shown on Wednesday.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes, I hope so.

[Greg Miller]

I think there's at least one more where it's just like, hey, because they want your. 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I mean, I don't think Cube purple.

[Greg Miller]

I. Which would be amazing. Atomic purple.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

See, I think classic.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Gray.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Well, no, when I say classic, I mean just the Switch one colors. Right. Like the red.

[Greg Miller]

Red and blue.

[Tim Gettys]

I think they want to differentiate.

[Greg Miller]

That's my thing.

[Tim Gettys]

I think that the, like the toning it differently if they want.

[Greg Miller]

These are going to look so hot when they're all gray. And you got the atomic purple from SNES on there.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

When I say red and blue, I'm also talking about the same like bear, if you want to bring that picture up. I'm talking about the same shades that we're seeing, like more of the Sammy. Because I think that is how, if they want 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.

[Andy Cortez]

I would be so shocked if this is the only colorway 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Well, that's, that's my thing is I think you get, get the reverse of these colors and then literally I give it four months before we start getting like, all right, here's yellow, here's. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

So for Switch 1, we've talked about it, obviously, the all gray and then the red and the blue. How long was it till we got another pair of Joy Cons?

[Tim Gettys]

They also released like the blue on the other side, the red on the other side, like, because exactly. Do we.

[Andy Cortez]

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 is like a Joy Con tie in Metroid Prime?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Come on.

[Andy Cortez]

Metroid prime with the purple and something like that?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes.

[Kevin Coelho]

Or the red and black from the trailer?

[Andy Cortez]

Ah, that would be sick.

[Tim Gettys]

That's interesting. Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Orange or purple, it's be ugly.

[Tim Gettys]

Is there going to be any other accessory?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Handcuffs?

[Tim Gettys]

Because the one thing, I mean we see that there's like this, this new like 4 cursor mode, maybe like the sleevy type thing that goes on the bottom of the Joy Cons. I imagine those come with the Joy Cons, but I wonder if there's like other versions of that or something like expanded on like even more cursor mode thing. But a mouse, maybe that comes later, you know, I don't know, L.A. i don't necessarily expect that there will be.

[Kevin Coelho]

Mouse pad is great.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

I still have my SNES Mario Paint one.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I'm crazy, but like we know that headset.

[Andy Cortez]

I.

[Greg Miller]

What are we doing with online? What are we doing? Oh yeah, just a Bluetooth earpiece connect. You know something there an officially branded one.

[Tim Gettys]

Are we?

[Greg Miller]

Of course I know Switch 1's been the app and all that jazz, but are we moving away from that with Switch two and actually putting on board. Got that USB C. We got that sexy USB C. Could put anything in there.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Nintendo doesn't believe in voice chat.

[Greg Miller]

I know.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Like baked in.

[Greg Miller]

They gotta protect those kids.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, a party system. No, absolutely not.

[Tim Gettys]

[Greg Miller]

This podcast is brought to you by the Tim Gettys Farewell T shirt, available right now on kindafunny.com store. Did you know that Tim Getty stole a bunch of stars from me by being too good at a game and 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 the date of me taking the stars with stars in the bank. So go to kindafunny.com store right now where you can get your state read Florida.

[Tim Gettys]

So Nintendo Switch Online. We have a couple questions here. There's. I'll put it into three different categories. One is, are we 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 to 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 to exclusive games and Nintendo Switch to Edition games is what they're calling them. So it does imply that Switch games will have Switch two editions.

[Greg Miller]

Interesting.

[Andy Cortez]

If yesterday's virtual cartridge explanation was any indication of how they're gonna explain this whole Switch to exclusive conundrum, it's gonna be confusing and we're not gonna be fully clear on it until a press release after the fact. I don't trust that it'll be clear at all. I. 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 to Edition 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.

[Tim Gettys]

But so what's your prediction? Like how do we get those things? Because my prediction is it's going to be tied to Switch Online.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, I think it's gonna be.

[Tim Gettys]

Which I don't think is 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 editions, like the patch or whatever that is to play your own games, which I think is way better than having to buy a brand new full price game.

[Andy Cortez]

Do you, do you think that there will be an 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.

[Tim Gettys]

No, I don't know. Yeah, I probably not. But then saying 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.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Because what select 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 Tears the Kingdom a Switch to Edition. Where do you think that buck stops? Do you think that is the top 10 games on the. On the switch one? Get that. Do you think it is going to be the vast majority of Nintendo games?

[Tim Gettys]

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 of the Kingdom slow drip feed.

[Greg Miller]

I think that's my answer to all these questions. I think they're all slow drip feed.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Which is like a great future. But like Wind Waker.

[Tim Gettys]

Where the fuck are those? You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

Like GameCube and DS and all this stuff. Like yeah, it's going to come to virtual or 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, the console itself is exciting enough.

[Andy Cortez]

I. The. The more and more I 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 list 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 frames 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I think you have to put out like SKU, like the SKUs for buying individually. I think they're gonna Be full price.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, here's my thing.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I think it'd be $60.

[Tim Gettys]

I, 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?

[Andy Cortez]

I'm not.

[Tim Gettys]

Because whatever that does, I think it's gonna follow that logic.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, you must be able to buy that separately from the Switch Online thing, right? Chat. Yeah, people are saying absolutely, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Cool. Then, yeah, I think that there will be a way to buy it separately then.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

And I think that, I think that's a win. Like, I think it still sucks of, you know, I think across all these console generation jumps we there should be a built in way to do the Xbox. What's happening?

[Greg Miller]

I opened up the my Nintendo store and started scrolling down and Andy reached over silently and points up and I scroll back up and he just points at the alarm mode and gives me a thumbs up.

[Andy Cortez]

Add that to your car, man. I mean, Ben was like, dude, oh my God, Xbox.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Smart delivery should be the bar for how this shit should work, right? I'm very much tired of generation to generation having to figure out, okay, I own this thing that I, that I bought a couple years ago. Okay, cool. Now that I'm on a new console generation, it's now getting outdated or I'm not getting like, you know, the update that's bringing it forward. I understand like Xbox kind of moved the needle forward from where things have been typically, but I think that's a suit that should be followed. But also that is the very, that's a very non Nintendo way to go about things.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, that's so right.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

But yeah, that said, right, like if we can have it be that Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Switch to 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, if you're a big Switch user. So it's nice to have that as an option to play those games. Yeah, that's my prediction.

[Andy Cortez]

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.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

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.

[Greg Miller]

Like, it's going back.

[Andy Cortez]

They're weird as. And I could totally see them saying, yeah, but we don't give a fuck about, you know, we'll make money. Who cares? People will buy it.

[Tim Gettys]

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.

[Greg Miller]

I agree.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't think it'll be this day.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, again, like, there's no. You don't need to do that now. This isn't a mea culpa. This isn't. We're coming. Oh, man. We're coming off the Wii U. And it was. We're in a dire straight, like, no, you're 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 gonna 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.

[Tim Gettys]

I want to get into games. I have to separate it into 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?

[Greg Miller]

Mario Kart does appear. It is a launch game and it's. Let me get back down to name.

[Andy Cortez]

Mario Kart Super Circuit. That's not bad, Greg, isn't the DS1.

[Tim Gettys]

Circuit Game Boy advance one?

[Andy Cortez]

No.

[Tim Gettys]

But is it Super Circuit? Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I thought it was something else. Circuit.

[Kevin Coelho]

Let me whisper in your ear, guys, I'm gonna.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

It'll just be called Mario Kart.

[Greg Miller]

You think so? You think so?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I'm gonna say. I mean, yes, it does appear. Mario Kart X, which I think I might have stole from you. Yeah. Here's the thing is, I want to.

[Greg Miller]

Say to Mario Kart cross country. Sorry.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

There you go.

[Andy Cortez]

Mario Kart World Cross Country.

[Greg Miller]

Remember they went by the gas stations and stuff? Like, it looked like. It's more.

[Andy Cortez]

It looks like a Forza kind of open world thing.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Mario Kart Crossroads. I changed my install.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, that was my other one. I was tinkering with that sounds like.

[Andy Cortez]

A game about like you dealing with like a death of a family member and you're just like discovering yourself, you know?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Sonic racing crossworlds is already happening.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah. But he just.

[Greg Miller]

Crossroads.

[Tim Gettys]

Crossroads. Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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 give a. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Mario Kart 2.

[Tim Gettys]

So. Because I'm with you, because my prediction before was just straight up Mario Kart X or Crossroads, but I changed that because of. Because of Crossroads. Yeah, exactly.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

That makes sense.

[Tim Gettys]

I also. Also don't think they. They give a. But I still. I'm. I'm sticking with the X. And the X can be Mario Kart 10, but also Mario Mario Kart and X. But when does it launch?

[Andy Cortez]

Cross country is good, bro.

[Tim Gettys]

I. I'm sticking with. And I, I definitely. I understand can be a launch title. I still think it's the month after.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

See that? And that's where I want to go. Except Metroid Prime 4 appearing at yesterday's direct throws me the off. They're like presenting it as a Switch 1 game and I'm like, oh, then.

[Tim Gettys]

I guess we need Mario Kart at launch.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah. If it. Because Metroid Prime 4, I think would be such a slander dunk launch game. Right. Like, hey, people are gonna. People are gonna buy the Switch 2 anyway. And you have Switch, you have Mario Kart there on month two to like keep that momentum going. And Metroid Prime 4 there to force anybody who buys the Switch to have to play and have to buy Metroid Prime 4. It's the perfect heist. It.

[Andy Cortez]

It really kind of. You're talking about a heist is so perfect because it. 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. What's the. What's the retail term for it? Like just the.

[Greg Miller]

The package.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, like, like packaging it in there. Yeah. I. I feel like that's their. This is their chance to make Metroid the biggest selling Metroid of all time.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah. Somebody. Somebody in chat says people will buy Mario Kart. Bless is the best selling game. I'm saying that people will buy Mario Kart. Like Mario Kart is a. Something that will help.

[Greg Miller]

No brainer.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah. That'll move units. 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 two thing? I'm like, I don't know, man. I could see it being Mario Kart at launch and then Metroid Prime 4 later on. What's up, CEO?

[Greg Miller]

Nothing. I saw you come up here tapping your temple. What do you got for me?

[Kevin Coelho]

I'm thinking because yeah, they're trying to, you know, push as much as they can. Metroid it not being like the biggest seller in the past, which as Tim has pointed out, was much like Zelda before the Switch one. 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 2 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

See, I don't know if you 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.

[Kevin Coelho]

Like, my counterpoint to that is that even though, you know, Switch one launch 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.

[Andy Cortez]

The store, that's why the eShop was popping off with any indie game possible.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, I guess my thing is like, people are at their hungriest at the launch of the Switch. You know, like, when you're looking at.

[Andy Cortez]

That shopping cart, bless. When you're looking at like what else to add to your cart, you're just like, yeah, like what's the. You're in a mode where you're like, no money matters right now. I'm just buying stuff, Switch to a.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Song, selling out regardless. Like, you don't need Mario Kart.

[Tim Gettys]

That is a factor with this all. I feel like it's a bad idea for them to put Metroid and Mario Kart out on the same day.

[Greg Miller]

I agree with that.

[Tim Gettys]

And so I. That is my one thing. I think yesterday's showcase is what's throwing me off of the order, but I do not think it'll be the same day.

[Greg Miller]

I also think we're overlooking a little Bit in the conversation what you're talking about of going to the Switch store. Because if you buy Switch two 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 of 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 of 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 to.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Tim's drip 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.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, I'm telling you, like the one thing that I'm latching onto is we're not getting Tears of the Kingdom Kingdom for.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Wait for the upgrade.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, he said Breath of the Wild.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh, he said Breath of.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm telling you, it's gonna be Breath of the Wild.

[Andy Cortez]

I could see it.

[Tim Gettys]

Here's 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 gonna get it now.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Don't do that to me. It hurt.

[Tim Gettys]

It hurts.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Don't do that to me.

[Kevin Coelho]

But I. I could see it.

[Tim Gettys]

Does Pokemon Legend Za appear and when does it launch? So far we've just been getting 2025s we saw yesterday.

[Greg Miller]

I forget what did somebody predicted or did they say late? 2025.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

They said late.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, they said 2025. I don't think it said late. Or have they.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I thought they did, but I might be misremembering.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, either way, like, we don't have a late.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, I mean, I could see both sides of any sort of 2025.

[Greg Miller]

They have confirmed in their press release.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, I could see both sides of any argument here saying, why show it when we've showed it enough already? We've showed it twice already. But then it's also like, this is your huge day. Why not?

[Greg Miller]

I. I think. I think it's confirmed to have some kind of Switch to upgrade, 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.

[Andy Cortez]

The way that they show off what games will be Switch to Able. That's what they're going to call it. Do we think that that's going to be in some little, you know, montage?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

See, and that's where I'm coming from with it. Where I. I think it depends on how they release Pokemon's out. Right. If there's a native switch 2 SKU, then I think we get a trailer and get the release date and all that stuff. If it is just to switch one version, even if it's booster or whatever, I think it's in a montage.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Or I think it's just a screen of like Pokemon's.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Also.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

The thing I'm most excited about learning is how the. The Switch one, Switch two stuff's gonna work. Like that's gonna be. So once we know that, it's gonna be so easy to predict so many different things. But right now it's just hard because it's like. 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.

[Greg Miller]

I hope so.

[Andy Cortez]

$2 super drive from CJ splits on us. Will game be. Will games be 70? Absolutely.

[Tim Gettys]

I think so. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Tears of the Kingdom already.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

What are the biggest ones are?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I think they explore the scale.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

But I don't think you make a. You can put out a Pikmin 5 for $70.

[Tim Gettys]

I think it's standard. Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh man.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh man.

[Tim Gettys]

Whatever their new everything, everything's gonna be. It's. They're gonna function like. Like it's the same thing with like, I don't know What a Pikmin 4 equivalent is on PlayStation, but like Astrobot, that was cheaper. Right.

[Greg Miller]

Know that's what I'm saying.

[Tim Gettys]

So some things might, 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 Pikmin 4 level.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Like, I don't know, man. We're at 60 and like, you know, a lot of FPS on there.

[Greg Miller]

We're one order away. Everybody from just in this show, 69 orders of the Tim Farewell shirt. Thank you, thank you, Texas. Thank you, Illinois. Thank you, California. Thank you, Illinois. Thank you, Western Australia. Where when they ordered it was like five. It was about to be 6:00am Their time. I love you, Missouri. You're out there. Utah, New York again, Louisiana. You're all killing it.

[Tim Gettys]

Does 3D Mario appear? What's it called? And when does it launch?

[Greg Miller]

Oh.

[Tim Gettys]

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.

[Andy Cortez]

Are Chris Pratt and Seth Rogen playing in the commercial? Playing the game?

[Tim Gettys]

Yes, in the commercial. Down the line, perhaps.

[Greg Miller]

New Jersey just pushed us to 69.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow. New Jersey gym, tan, laundry.

[Kevin Coelho]

I think it'll come October because Pokemon, I feel like, is usually the typical November thing.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, they switch like that's. That's the thing is like I feel like there's not enough One's October, one's November.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, yeah, I think.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I think it's shown. I think it comes out. I was just gonna say back half of 2025, but I'll say October.

[Tim Gettys]

Sure.

[Greg Miller]

I'll stick with my November. Being the Pokemon, I'm gonna say yes.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

It shows up and I also say October and I don't know what it's called then.

[Tim Gettys]

Next up we got Splatoon here. What's it called? When's it launch? Squid. 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 want a Splatoon first year of the Switch one. I can see them on that again. So I wouldn't be surprised to see Splatoon 4 at this event.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I agree.

[Andy Cortez]

I totally agree. I think with how with the numbers it does in Japan. Like, it just seems like a no brainer.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

It'll be Splatoon, but the A is a four.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, shit. Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Split fortune.

[Tim Gettys]

Does Zelda appear? What's it called? And when does it launch?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes, it's called Twilight Princess plus Wind Waker hd.

[Tim Gettys]

I think there's not a chance that shows up here.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

This is not the fact that it wasn't there yesterday.

[Tim Gettys]

It should have been. I mean that's a yesterday like type of thing. These are Switch 1 games.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Here's my thing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, I mean, they're Switch 1 games, but in that same screen where you see Pokemon's all. That's how they announce it. Pokemon, Zaw and Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD are also coming to Switch.

[Tim Gettys]

The thing is, I feel like those games just don't need the Switch to enhancements. Those games run the way that they are supposed to.

[Kevin Coelho]

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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

You know, I just think you need a Zelda something.

[Andy Cortez]

It's a Zelda remake. I think it's an Ocarina remake or some remake.

[Tim Gettys]

I. 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. Yeah, 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 gonna get a glimpse of something and it's gonna be an Ocarina remake.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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.

[Andy Cortez]

You're definitely not get the like a Aonuma led.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And the other thing about you saying there's definitely gonna be Zelda, the one X factor is Breath of the Wild and how much they focus on that being the. Hey, look at what the Switch 2 can do for.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

That's a good point.

[Tim Gettys]

One of the best selling games or whatever. And that just might count for the Zelda.

[Greg Miller]

And again, that's why 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 other old game, have fun. See what the Switch 2 can make games look like.

[Andy Cortez]

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. Much tech differences. It's gonna be so crazy to be like look at the draw distance. Like they're gonna. They're not gonna use those terms but like, you know, I'm just gonna be so weirded out to see 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?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I don't think so.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I think it's gonna be very.

[Greg Miller]

We're Gonna leave with a lot of questions.

[Andy Cortez]

If you notice the Switch 2 version is prettier.

[Tim Gettys]

I think I honestly, I feel like I'm saying this 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.

[Andy Cortez]

It's 3840 by 2160.

[Tim Gettys]

Does animal crossing appear?

[Greg Miller]

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 two. You can look at this. It runs better. Load times are faster or something like that, right?

[Tim Gettys]

God, how I hate that none of us assume this is the case, but how nice would it be if it was like Xbox if just, hey, man. Yeah, all the games, they're just better now.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I mean, I think Animal Crossing has to be here. It could be in the way that Greg's talking about, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was like just an Animal Crossing thing that we're not thinking about. Not necessarily the next big Animal Crossing New Horizons type game, but the next.

[Kevin Coelho]

Animal Crossing mobile game.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I mean, it's going to be something, right? It this is. You're revealing the switch to. 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.

[Greg Miller]

I was like you and me wanting to plan a banger. Yeah, that's what we would do. But I really think Nintendo is like.

[Tim Gettys]

They don't do that.

[Greg Miller]

This thing can just be a picture of the fucking handheld and it's gonna sell. Like, I really think that's where they're at. And they're like, why? 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 Kart and have Luigi's Mansion. Like they don't need to explicitly tell you, show you, tease you with that.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I think, personally, I just don't. I just think those IPS need to be there. Like, even when I think back to Switch one, obviously, like, we knew that we're going to get Breath of the 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, even 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.

[Tim Gettys]

This is a Switch two thing. Like, they're gonna focus on Switch two. And because of that, I think that also means Switch one because of, like, just how this works. I don't think we're getting theme park stuff. I don't think we're getting mother games. I don't think we're getting any of that stuff. But I do think that to the points being made here, like, I, I. Breath of the Wild and Animal Crossing, New Horizons are two games that I do think get the 4K or the Switch to tree.

[Greg Miller]

My question for you, Tim and everybody, but I know Tim lives and breathes all this. For Switch one, did they do what we're talking or did they show Pokemon? Did they show?

[Tim Gettys]

So that's the thing. No. And for Switch one, when we sat at the old desk and predicted, we were predicting, like we're predicting now of 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 one, two Switch, and here's Octopath Traveler, and here's all the stuff. Here's Breath of the Wild. We already knew about Breath of the 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 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. 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 too. Like the. The not us, we're all buying one. The random people that only play Animal Crossing in Mario Kart.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

A thousand percent yeah, Zelda. I it. Say again, sorry.

[Greg Miller]

So is Zelda.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

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 know Animal Crossing is 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 like that.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

There's something I think can just be the.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah. And it could be the Switch, which I think would.

[Tim Gettys]

That that's all they need to do. I think that would get the group that we're talking about out. That will satiate them. They want more, of course, but I think that they'd be happy.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Is there. Is there any way we get an update to it?

[Greg Miller]

God. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And then speaking of that, we're doing.

[Greg Miller]

A new season thing.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

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 U and for the Switch. I guess not the Switch. The Switch had the formal announcement, but the Wii and the Wii U both had a. A Smash Brothers game is being worked on, period. You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

If you count that, then, yeah, I think you probably get that.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Right. What do you think you're the.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know. The Sakurai did a 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.

[Greg Miller]

Was just like he responded to a Wendy's tweet.

[Tim Gettys]

He then put out a tweet just being like, hey, I gotta be more responsible tweeting. Like, I didn't mean to say anything, so. But also, he's a tricky little mother. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

He put out the. His messaging was basically like, I. I gotta 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.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I think there's a higher chance of a kid Icarus remaster than There is when you Smash and I. I think.

[Tim Gettys]

I think Kid Icarus is. It's gonna happen eventually. I don't know if next week's the time, but I. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Sakurai. Whatever Sakurai is working on, I think will be there on next week.

[Greg Miller]

Roger cut the ad of the shirt. I'm putting it up on Instagram for you to wear.

[Tim Gettys]

Awesome. Thank you. I appreciate that.

[Andy Cortez]

72 orders, by the way.

[Tim Gettys]

And the other thing about Smash Brothers is Florida, Ohio, talking about Breath of the Wild and Animal Crossing. It's like we already have Ultimate. What. How does that translate to Switch to.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

So questions Will find out next week. Kirby? I mean, I don't think so.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh, you don't think a Kirby appears?

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, a new Kirby game. Because I think we're gonna get a Forgotten Land sequel, but I think that's a next year January direct.

[Andy Cortez]

Do we know how many. How much that sold?

[Tim Gettys]

Sold? Well, but not like, like 2 million.

[Andy Cortez]

Maybe 2.

[Tim Gettys]

I think more than that.

[Andy Cortez]

Huh.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Was there a Kirby thing at the. At the Switch 1 presentation? I guess not. I'll say no.

[Andy Cortez]

Shout out to Daniel Z for letting me know that the Kirby soundtrack is was available on the Switch. I finally downloaded the Switch music app because it has that one winter theme song.

[Greg Miller]

Did you get the news app yet?

[Andy Cortez]

I, I, I did download it. I haven't logged in yet. I know it crashed this morning.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Where is Planet Robo Robot Remaster?

[Tim Gettys]

So that. 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. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Whoa.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

That's really impressive. Good.

[Tim Gettys]

Does Mother appear?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

No.

[Tim Gettys]

Does Pikmin appear?

[Andy Cortez]

No.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Maybe.

[Tim Gettys]

No. Does Fire Emblem appear?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yes.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, I think so. Fireballs at the Switch one thing.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, I guess that came out. They teased the crossover E1, but it wasn't like a main one.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Gotcha.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't even know if that one ended up happening at all.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I'm gonna say yes.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't think so. Because, like, all the rumors are. Fire Emblem 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. That's a Yesterday announcement. That's not a. That's a Switch one announcement.

[Andy Cortez]

Do we have a game announcement tomorrow that is super, like, revolving around the mouse cursor stuff?

[Greg Miller]

Yes. Yes.

[Tim Gettys]

Metroid Prime?

[Andy Cortez]

No, but, like, I'm digging more of a one two Switch snipperclips.

[Greg Miller]

Type deal.

[Andy Cortez]

This is the gimmick, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I think so though.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Luigi Paint mouse Rio.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, honestly, I. You're right. CEO Blood Mario Paint is a good, good poll. Wario paint made by the Mario maker.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I don't know why Wario Paint makes so much sense to me, but it does, it does.

[Tim Gettys]

Some type of maker potentially, you know. And then just think about the cursor. Yeah, exactly. I think, I think it's gonna be a maker game.

[Andy Cortez]

That's crazy cool. That would be awesome.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

And so they bring back mother. Yes, Mother maker.

[Tim Gettys]

And then let's move to third party games.

[Andy Cortez]

Do they sell lap tables to use the mouse house? Roger recording it. I did mention a mouse pad. I do. I would expect to see some sort of, you know, Nintendo branded little thing to use for the mouse.

[Greg Miller]

Lap table is not a bad idea though. That is the kind of stuff you would need to figure out. Right. For people on their couches.

[Tim Gettys]

Third party games. I have a couple of things written here. I'm going to say them all and then we'll have the discussion. Elden Ring, Xbox games, Final Fantasy 7, Silksong.

[Andy Cortez]

I think with them mentioning or was it mentioned or was it rumored that this will not really be third party focused. I. I thought they were the three phase rollout.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh well, they weren't talking about this event. That's just more for like. For the release.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, for the releases. Okay. It wasn't for announcements because that was.

[Tim Gettys]

That's one of my least favorite freaking articles that have come out in the last year. Get the hell out of here. Christmas is Christmas time. That's all they're saying.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

But now, you know, the first few months are going to be the first parties 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 dev kits yet. But yeah, I think Elden 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 too. So I'm gonna say yeah, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Elden Ring I think makes so much sense. I think that's there.

[Tim Gettys]

I will be shocked. Development's 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.

[Andy Cortez]

Switch to exclusive.

[Kevin Coelho]

I think the skyrim of this will be Skyrim. Skyrim will be there.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, do you really think Skyrim will be there? I don't.

[Greg Miller]

Maybe Starfish Field.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

See, I was gonna say GTA 5.

[Tim Gettys]

Do. Do you think GTA 5?

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I don't.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't. But I like that.

[Andy Cortez]

I like that a lot.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I say GTA 5 because I do.

[Tim Gettys]

Think that fits into, like, what they're trying to say, like, take this system seriously. Which I know that GTA 5, like, sounds like a weird thing, but that is Nintendo being like, I. I just. I play multiplatform games.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

History repeats itself enough in certain ways where it is like. Like, I go back to the Wii U. As far as the game. The games that they're watching with on that thing of. All right, what are the games of the moment? Watchdogs. Sure. Like, let's. Let's bring it out. Bring out these things. Resident Evil, Skyrim, and GTA 5 are the games that, like, these. The game that these companies always had 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.

[Greg Miller]

Up.

[Andy Cortez]

Twitch chat calling out the Oblivion remake. That's good.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I like that.

[Greg Miller]

That's good.

[Andy Cortez]

Chad, you got a tip of the hat for me.

[Tim Gettys]

Do you think Elden Ring, Andy?

[Andy Cortez]

I think Elden Ring, yes. But I'm more. I'm mainly thinking about multiplatform multiplayer games. What is the. If any, the one like Call of Duty or FIFA or. Or FC or whatever the hell like, I think there. I think there has to be a sports game there.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

FIFA historically has been very bad on Switch. Like, they've just. They've not been touching.

[Andy Cortez]

Not anymore.

[Greg Miller]

Like, they heard you talk about it and how garbage it is, but here it is.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

FIFA every year is basically the same game, but they just, like, they do. They do nothing to it.

[Greg Miller]

Baldur's Gate 3.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah, I was gonna say Baldur's Gate 3 and then also Cyberpunk.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, dude. With the mouse control on Baldur's Gate.

[Tim Gettys]

3, I think we get Baldur's Gate 3. I think we get Star Wars, Jedi Survivor, and I think we get Ukulele with the release date. UK with the release date. That will be the launch date of what I'm saying.

[Andy Cortez]

What about Nico de Rico?

[Tim Gettys]

Nico de Rico, the Magical World Definitive Edition? Probably not.

[Andy Cortez]

What about Ricky Stanicki?

[Tim Gettys]

Silksong? I don't think so.

[Andy Cortez]

No.

[Tim Gettys]

Final Fantasy 7? I also don't think so. I think. I think we'll hear about that at Xbox first at some point. And speaking of Xbox, do any Xbox games appear? I think so, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

How long was Switch one's direction? Ish.

[Tim Gettys]

It wasn't a presentation. That's the difference.

[Greg Miller]

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.

[Tim Gettys]

They already did that.

[Greg Miller]

I know, I know.

[Tim Gettys]

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 you, Greg. But I think that's. That a lot of what we're saying can just be like this is here.

[Greg Miller]

This is here.

[Tim Gettys]

Especially if it's known quantity games like Jedi Survivor and things like that.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

What PlayStation Japan studio game is going to be in development by Bandai Namco that they're bringing back Shadow Colossus.

[Greg Miller]

Rocket Guardian pops up with south of Midnight. Question mark. That'd be interesting Avowed if that was part of the Xbox stuff.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. I mean south of Midnight's not on PlayStation so I don't think so.

[Greg Miller]

But I mean like this could be the part where you. I'm not saying it's. That wouldn't be today. I mean Forza.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Hellblade.

[Tim Gettys]

I can see Forza. Yeah. All right, let's. I'm gonna 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 gonna happen. Prediction Smash but with licensed characters Goku and Smash. It's time.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Keep dreaming.

[Tim Gettys]

One day Goku will end up in Smash. We got Sora. We're gonna get Goku.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

This is a very different character.

[Tim Gettys]

Today's not the day.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

So very different characters.

[Tim Gettys]

All right. Say whatever you want. Sora is in Smash.

[Andy Cortez]

Brothers CJ clocks in this the Dark Ages. That's a good call.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

One of your favorite video games last year.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Oh, okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, Cody Boone writes in Says shout out to the boys at co op 64. Doing a subathon. Shout out to co op 64. Awesome stuff. Go support the homies. Chrono 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 what they end up being. But I. I like showing up. I like getting all the fun stuff. Console comes out. BJ Bernardo says, I can't wait for Gray to actually steal Tim stars and still lose the season at the end of the year. I already read that one, but nice to read again. Koba says, if I wrote you all cards and gave them to Greg at the meet, would you actually take them? I promise, no Anthrax.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, of course.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Chicago. Come see me perform live in Lyle. Yeah, Lyle, Illinois.

[Tim Gettys]

I'll do it. Snug says, got my shirts. Ah, Snugs. Cat 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 to release date will be on the new Nintendo app the next day. You got I can't believe the Nintendo app dropped the Zelda movie. Good for them.

[Greg Miller]

You got me to download it. I'm like oh, I got to be.

[Andy Cortez]

In the new condition man.

[Tim Gettys]

16 bit Otaku 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.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

You get clank from Ratchet and Clank and have him clap.

[Tim Gettys]

Gene Freak says, will it compare to the base Steam deck power wise?

[Greg Miller]

Absolutely not.

[Tim Gettys]

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. CJ splits on says Nintendo Switch 1 games dated into 2026 already. I think Switch 2 will be a bit more expensive with cross gen in mind. 300. 350.

[Andy Cortez]

450.

[Tim Gettys]

300. No way.

[Andy Cortez]

No way.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean there's no way. There's no way that it's not $400.

[Andy Cortez]

At least you're gonna get derrift.

[Tim Gettys]

Shaggy Sasquatch says Nintendo don't lose money on consoles and tech costs under 450 are already having guts that don't perform. OLED 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? Hasht. Ben Star's licking everything, man. It's crazy. You guys hear about this? Ben Star used to lick batteries.

[Greg Miller]

I did hear about that, actually.

[Tim Gettys]

Crazy, man.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, because they shock your tongue, right?

[Tim Gettys]

He liked it.

[Andy Cortez]

It's cool.

[Kevin Coelho]

He asked what flavor it was and I said electricity.

[Tim Gettys]

Yep. Optimistic 92 says about a Tim's fur all tour shirts you can all afford no LED Switch too.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you.

[Tim Gettys]

Thank you very much for that. Jean freak says blessing Juneteenth a national holiday celebrate the end of slavery in.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

The U.S. i didn't ask what I said.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, that's 19th.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

But thank you for explaining to Juneteenth for me. Explain.

[Tim Gettys]

4Th of July 149 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 so I'm interested in how it feels. You know what I mean? They're bigger, but are they big enough?

[Greg Miller]

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.

[Tim Gettys]

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? Very doubtful.

[Greg Miller]

No, that's happening.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know if we ever had them. Gene Free says Tim's reign of terror is finally coming to an end. We'll see. Ian says my prediction Greg makes it chaotic and I can't wait. But for real. Just give me. Give us the Zelda ports. CJ splits on says will games be 70 vouchers don't work now. We already talked about that. Colin. Barry says I was the 69th order. It was a birthday gift to myself. Happy birthday, Colin.

[Greg Miller]

We're up to 74 right now. If you can get it to 100 before we sign off, I'll put this logo on the stupidest thing we can possibly put on the store. You have to buy it again.

[Tim Gettys]

But Ltd says my bet is the virtual cartridge stops leading to send your Switch 1 cartridge to the Switch 2 for X amount and it becomes the Switch 2 version. God, that's complicated. But it's very Nintendo. Valentin says just tuning in. Who's hyped for the Zelda live action movie they announced in the app? I am.

[Greg Miller]

We talked about on games daily with Drucker. A lot of I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Tim Gettys]

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes kicks fucking ass. Just do that with Zelda and you gotta win.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Cass. Timothy, you know the one.

[Tim Gettys]

You know the one Scott says. Tim bless Greg. Andy, before you go, would like. Would you like to take a break from looking forward and look back at Kind of funny Live and how I convinced my local news station that telling my embarrassing experience at KFL2 was news?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, like that.

[Tim Gettys]

Interesting. Robbie Rob says what about the T Sakurai game from his video? I I think we'll see Sakurai there or hear about the project at least. Joey Rapson says Civ 7 to show off cursor mode. Civ 7's already on Switch 1 which blows my mind. So.

[Greg Miller]

Whoa.

[Blessing Adio Ye Jr.]

Does it work?

[Greg Miller]

I don't know.

[Tim Gettys]

Wilfredo says we all be reacting at 6am yes we will.

[Greg Miller]

We will be live, live, live. And I will cash in stars in the bank. We're probably going live. What? At 5:45 in the morning our time. Yep.

[Tim Gettys]

Yep. And there we go everybody. That is our Nintendo Switch to direct predictions. Like I was saying, hang out with us next week. We'll be live all day starting just a little bit before 6am 5:45 doing our final last minute stuff before we get into it and hopefully our minds are blown. We're about to do game showdown. Stay tuned till next time. Love you all. Bye.
