Pre-order Experiences and Challenges

Greg Miller kicked off the discussion with humorous banter about his "champion" status, setting a lighthearted tone for the episode. The conversation quickly shifted to the pre-ordering process for the Switch 2.

• Greg (00:43): "I want to say, so many people were sad to say, 'see you say you were going to retire...' I hope you come back for season four."

• Tim Gettys (05:07): Shared his multiple attempts to secure pre-orders, ultimately managing to obtain two units, one for personal use and another reserved for the team.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. recounted his unsuccessful pre-order attempt while stationed in Japan, humorously attributing it to divine intervention.

• Blessing (06:02): "I unfortunately cannot disclose the details of how my Switch 2 pre-order went... Raj got the $500 one with Mario Kart."

Andy Cortez was more successful, securing two Switch 2 units from Target and Best Buy, along with essential accessories like micro SD Express cards.

• Andy (09:30): "I got one terabyte, man. It was 70 bucks."

However, the team encountered issues distinguishing between Express and XC SD cards, leading to confusion and potential mismatches in compatibility.

• Greg (11:04): "They got the Lexar Pro play you scrolled off."
• Blessing (14:24): "I typed in SD card Express and the first thing I popped up on Amazon was an XC as well."

Accessory Discussions: SD Cards, Controllers, and Cases

A significant portion of the discussion revolved around accessory availability and compatibility.

Micro SD Express Cards:

• The team highlighted the difficulty in finding the correct SD cards compatible with the Switch 2, with many Express cards leading to confusion and incorrect purchases.

  • Blessing (14:24): "I typed in SD card Express and the first thing I popped up on Amazon was an XC as well."

Pro Controllers:

• Andy expressed his intention to purchase the new Pro controllers, praising their battery life and design.

  • Andy (21:19): "I just don't like where we're at right now. I really want to do the physical thing just because."

• Greg remained satisfied with his existing Pro controllers, citing personal preference and limited switch usage.

  • Greg (23:45): "I'm just not playing those kind of games."

Carrying Cases:

• Tim recommended cases from Tom Talk for their slim, form-fitting designs that accommodate both controllers and the console itself.

  • Tim (38:26): "These are like as slim and form fitting but it does everything a case needs to do. So highly recommend them."

• Andy echoed the need for better cases, emphasizing the importance of protecting gaming gear without adding bulk.

---

Packaging and Design of Switch 2

The design and packaging of the Nintendo Switch 2 was a topic of debate among the hosts.

• Tim (15:37): "But the first party games, like the top, the red just takes up way too much space, man."

• Blessing (16:08): Appreciated the potential uniformity of the spine and wraparound art but criticized the front design.

  • "Having the names in the same place for everything. Like, that's gonna look cool. So I do think on the side, I'm happy with it."

The team compared the new packaging unfavorably to previous iterations, expressing concerns over aesthetic appeal and practicality for physical collectors.

• Greg (17:28): "Oh, that's gonna go hard." (referring to steelbooks)

• Andy (17:30): "You mean first party stuff?"

Despite the criticisms, there was appreciation for the enhanced spine designs, indicating some positive aspects of the new packaging.

[Tim Gettys]

Then we're doing because of some scheduling stuff, I'm going to be out a bunch of days this week. So Alien Covenant in Review will also be happening live later today after the stream. If you're kind of funny member, you can get today's Greg way. That's 15 minutes about how you failed him. God, our champion, right?

[Greg Miller]

Hey, you know what, Am I going to be a gracious leader? Of course. But do I have to call out some failures? Of course I do. And it turns out those happen to be the Trogs this time around.

[Tim Gettys]

Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs of Makeup Buster and Delaney Twining. Today we're brought to you by Imperial Aura Frames and Better Help. But we'll tell you all about that later. Let's get to it. The topic of the show. We're 30 days away from the Nintendo Switch to June 5, 2025, releasing at $450 US. $500 US if you get the Mario Kart World bundle. I want to start this off by going around the table and asking everyone, including Barrett, what they have managed to pre order. What they're kind of what. What they have to deal with come June 5th. Are things getting delivered to you? Are you going to have to go somewhere? What's going on? Bless. Let's start with you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I unfortunately cannot disclose the details of how my switch 2 pre order went. It is under Jesus. It happened to go. Everything happened to go out. Go on.

[Greg Miller]

You were in Japan when this happened?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

While I was in Japan at Kojima Productions.

[Greg Miller]

Got it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And so I'm not gonna go into details. All I'm gonna say is that I was unsuccessful in pre ordering this thing that said, you know, if Satan don't got me, if God don't got me, Raj got me. Raj got me. Raj got a second switch too. And so he's gonna pass on one of those to me. I don't know the details of it. He got the $500 one with Mario Kart. Mario Kart World.

[Tim Gettys]

Any accessories that you would be interested in pre ordering from here on out, even if you haven't got them yet, Any other games at the top of your mind?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, I mean, games is a whole conversation. Because I want everything. I want it all.

[Tim Gettys]

We have a whole list of launch games that I want to go game by game so we can talk about that. But so, but I just want to know is, do you have anything preordered now?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Not at this point.

[Tim Gettys]

Gregory Miller.

[Greg Miller]

Hello. The season three champion. You don't have to be afraid to say it.

[Tim Gettys]

I also don't need to every time.

[Greg Miller]

You know, Tim's always talking to us. We got to promote better, but he won't promote the content. Any winner. That's up, Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

I have the 500 Mario Kart bundle pre ordered. It will be delivered here. Knock on wood. No, you know, nothing goes wrong. I haven't gotten any of the. I went with Target. I haven't gotten any cancellations. It looks like we're all set. So that will be the move here. Accessories. No, I, you know, could I be tempted into the GameCube controller? Yes, because I love the GameCube controller and I love my GameCube. But no, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. New Pro controller. No, the old Pro controllers work and I don't need a headphone jack on them. You know, I'm, I'm going to be very much on the accessory lineup of like, let's just get the unit, get the system and see if there's something we need to add change from there on out kind of thing. Games wise, I'm still going to be a digital boy, so I'm not worried about pre ordering those at all. I got Mario Kart. Great. But yeah, Donkey Kong, obviously, when that comes around, I'll be all about. But otherwise, no, we're going to go through launch lineup. I'll give you that rundown. But in terms of a pre order, just the system, just Mario Kart tried to get a second one, you know, because I Would love. Eventually we're going to need a second in the house for Benny. For Jenny. We don't call her that. But it was that idea of like I, you know when one of the other Wario 64 blue skies went by, I clicked on it and tried to do it and sat in the waiting room and it didn't happen. It was like, well, no big deal. I'll worry about it later.

[Tim Gettys]

Andy Cortez.

[Andy Cortez]

Wait. Real quick question for Greg. You don't want to live the back button, left back pedal life.

[Greg Miller]

No, you know me. I don't. I just don't.

[Andy Cortez]

But you can though.

[Greg Miller]

I could, but I don't. I want to be, I want to be able to be dropped into any video game demo ever and not have to be like, oh, I, there's no back buttons. I don't know how to play this one. So I just stick with the basic and again, I'm just not playing those kind of games. My rag. Every so often on my rog ally I'll graze those nipples and I'll be like, ah. Oh, I could do things with these but I don't. They're just like my nips.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Not like me.

[Barrett Courtney]

What would you do?

[Greg Miller]

I could do things with them but I don't. I could pierce them.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, tattoo him. Okay. Can you imagine Greg walking in one day with a T shirt on but you see like under the bars.

[Tim Gettys]

That is one of the most horrible but most hilarious things.

[Greg Miller]

Now I might just do it for the joke one day.

[Tim Gettys]

Shirt off. Those things.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't even need to see them with their shirt off though. I think I, I was able to pre order two. One from Target, one from Best Buy.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Andy Cortez]

And this was about an after, after Best Buy decided that they wanted to stay in business and we were like we should turn the on the website and was able to pre order from there and I got a Micro SD Express card that I meant to bring and it's like not a Mario themed one but it is, it's, it's red and it's got like yellow on it and stuff. It's like very much like how, how.

[Greg Miller]

Big did you get and how much to send you back? That is something I do need to probably pre order and buy.

[Andy Cortez]

I got one terabyte, man.

[Greg Miller]

Was that 150?

[Andy Cortez]

It was. No, it was 70 or something. What the 70? Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I thought these things are supposed to be really expensive.

[Barrett Courtney]

Which brand did you get?

[Andy Cortez]

Lexar.

[Barrett Courtney]

Yeah, so I. The Lexar 1 TB is like impossible to find right? Now, like, you were able to get in pretty early on on that one, which is smart.

[Andy Cortez]

I pre ordered it like two days ago.

[Tim Gettys]

Really?

[Andy Cortez]

Or not pre order, but like I just bought it on Amazon two days ago and it came in yesterday. And the thing is, whenever you buy stuff separately from the purchase, it doesn't feel like it counts as the purchase. So I feel like I'm 100% okay with it. Yeah. If I bought a Nintendo Pro Controller 2 or whatever tomorrow, if I pre order that, I don't count that as part of the thing. It just kind of makes sense. It makes me feel better about the.

[Greg Miller]

Everyone is so worried that you bought the wrong one. Is it an Express? Isn't an Express. Andy bought the wrong one. LOL. One terabyte express for $70, says Jason.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, whatever the. Yeah, whatever the right one is. Yeah, that's the sucker.

[Barrett Courtney]

That is not an express. It says the full word express on like Ex. Does not. Is not short for Express.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It says Express in the headline though.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, well, it does say. Wait.

[Barrett Courtney]

Interesting. Hold on.

[Greg Miller]

The Lexar Pro play you scrolled off.

[Andy Cortez]

I hope I'm wrong. This would be great. Hold on, let me. Let me look at.

[Greg Miller]

He's looking at his actual Amazon order, which is not the same one you just showed. This is not Express. That's xc.

[Andy Cortez]

Xc.

[Greg Miller]

Scroll down.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, you got xc.

[Greg Miller]

What is scroll though? So right there. Yeah, get the. Get the honey thing out of the way because you got Lexar South Dakota card.

[Andy Cortez]

That's the one I got.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You're fucked.

[Barrett Courtney]

Yeah, because I was going to say the. The one that works with the switch to the 1 TB is like impossible to get right now. And even the 512 is like sold out in some places. Oh, Joey, got flowers for.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, these are arrived. Oh, okay.

[Greg Miller]

Are they for me?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They are.

[Tim Gettys]

Well.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Are they for me?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, I'm sorry. Let me put that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let me put that.

[Greg Miller]

This is a nice bouquet. Okay, turn that to the kind of funny Game Showdown season three champ. Congrats from the one who always believed in you.

[Tim Gettys]

Who me?

[Greg Miller]

I bought them for myself and had it delivered. Yeah, I know what you're gonna say. I know you're gonna say, oh, that was a up spending company money. But I figured what I could do is then just give him to Gia so you can take them home to G. And you go ahead and read that card aloud for me. All right. Little. Little message on the side too.

[Andy Cortez]

To Gia. Sorry I beat him so badly that his pee pee no Work no more, man. It already affected so much content already.

[Greg Miller]

I said it was going to be worse. I thought it was gonna be worse.

[Andy Cortez]

Why would they make a pro a product called XC and Express? Like, it's just. It's confusing, all right? You're gonna make fun of a PC gaming and this, like, this is confusing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

To be fair, it does say Nintendo Sway on the Amazon page, right? Expanded storage for Nintendo Switch gaming, smartphones, tablet. So I understand how you're confused.

[Barrett Courtney]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But it doesn't say Switch two. It just says.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Hey, Andy, I just want to say I didn't order SD card at all. Because I'm like, I have one because a couple years ago or I guess a year ago when I bought my Steam Deck, I bought the 1 TB and I got lucky. Amazon fucked up. They sent me to Nice and I was like, oh, this is awesome. I'm now realizing, is this not the same?

[Barrett Courtney]

Express cards just started I think like coming in recently. Right.

[Tim Gettys]

This is.

[Barrett Courtney]

Let me know, horrible news for me.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, I'm seeing like express cards are 256. 256 gigs are 70 bucks, 50 bucks, 60 bucks.

[Barrett Courtney]

So yeah, just a. That's one of the things that I got. And when I ordered the Lexar one because the other brand was hard to get, I could only get the 256. And that was like roughly 70. Now the 256 is also currently unavailable.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Also when you type in two pack.

[Tim Gettys]

Though, is two pack not going to survive this.

[Andy Cortez]

You just.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You can't.

[Andy Cortez]

You can't call it Express.

[Greg Miller]

I mean that's 80 bucks. You know what I mean? That's not that bad.

[Andy Cortez]

You gotta call it either of those different without the letter X. You guys. You can use that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I typed in SD card Express and the first thing I popped up on Amazon was an XC as well. So it's all. Yeah, messed up.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't like this.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh man, I am.

[Greg Miller]

Did you already open. Open it?

[Andy Cortez]

No, no.

[Greg Miller]

It's just chilling back. You're all right.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, I can just return that sucker. Well, I've been really good about returning stuff recently.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, good.

[Andy Cortez]

I used to just kind of like, eh, not gonna use this. We've got the wrong thing. I'll set it aside and never use it. Never look at it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What's the base memory of the switch too?

[Barrett Courtney]

256.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, that'll hold a Donkey Kong or two.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Them textures are getting bigger though. Blessing the DK textures. Like the textures are getting higher resolution.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And they're all destructible.

[Tim Gettys]

It's in 4K?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wow.

[Tim Gettys]

There's a crash thing. I didn't make it up. What else did you get, Andy?

[Andy Cortez]

I.

[Greg Miller]

Did you do pro controller? Did we already cover that? You have to have those back paddles.

[Andy Cortez]

No, not yet. No, not yet. But now I'm like, will the freaking eight bit DOE controller work with this now? I don't know. I mean, it will, but yeah. I don't, you know, I don't like where we're at right now. I really want to do the physical thing just because. But I don't like the way the cartridge looks. I don't like the way the box has that big ass red bar up top. Sucks. It looks really unappealing.

[Tim Gettys]

Here's the thing. The more I see of the box, the more I'm like, okay, it's not as bad as I thought. They're encouraging around. Image looks nice. But the amount of the games that on the bottom have the game card, like the big white thing, I'm like, this looks like absolute trash.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

But the first party games, like the top, the red just takes up way too much space, man.

[Andy Cortez]

And it's like having a big bezel.

[Tim Gettys]

Comparing. Yeah, exactly. And comparing it to the Switch one boxes, I'm just like, I can't fathom preferring the Switch to box art over the Switch one. And people. I was bitching about this on Twitter, people. Oh, Tim, you're being dramatic. It's not that bad. Like, I'm like, I don't know, man. I think it's pretty bad.

[Barrett Courtney]

No, this is ugly.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

The. I will say the Donkey Kong Bonanza cover art is one of the coolest box arts I've ever seen.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is one of the things we don't talk about enough is how Nintendo really locked in during the Switch generation when it came to the box box arts.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because even if you look at the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild boxes, hot.

[Tim Gettys]

Just that tiny little red switch thing in the top corner. I loved the uniformity of the red spine. And then the. The white writing that should look was so freaking hot. Having said that, I do love the new potential uniformity of the spine. Having the wraparound art. Like they're keeping the names in the same place for everything. Like, that's gonna look cool. So I do think on the side, I'm happy with it. Which at the end of the day, that's how I look at it most of the time.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

But man, the front's just a letdown.

[Andy Cortez]

You could really cut down on that by about 30%.

[Barrett Courtney]

I compare it to like when, you know, you go to like the used section of GameStop and they have to use like generic cases and then they print out a thing and it's not the right size.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what, 100%.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And Danny Hibiki says they don't want any confusions for a new system. I get it. That's clearly what they're doing here. But that's just. It sucks for people like me that want the physical ones to collect. And Andy, who's dabbling with it, he might get in there.

[Andy Cortez]

I just, I, I love the. I've always liked the size of the cartridges of the boxes, but that kind of stinks that it's kind of unattractive.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Does Nintendo overdo Steel Books?

[Tim Gettys]

No.

[Greg Miller]

No.

[Barrett Courtney]

Yes.

[Tim Gettys]

They're collectors, like special things. But like that's not like the default to get. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

You mean first party stuff?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Barrett Courtney]

I have a Tears of the Kingdom.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Steelbook because that, that could be the solution. Let's put a steelbook in every collector's edition and make Tim Gettys get the edition.

[Tim Gettys]

Don't do that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Donkey Kong Bonanza steelbook. Oh, man.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, that's gonna go hard.

[Tim Gettys]

The streets need.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what the streets need.

[Andy Cortez]

I did get that most recent 8 bit dough controller because. And I will be getting the Pro controller because, you know, in the future when our planet is dying, it will be able to. To power several planets. Like that thing has such a great battery life. But I always love the look in the feel of the old Pro controller. The analog triggers definitely kind of up with some old games. And I think that's why I had some issues playing Mario Sunshine where it's like you can't just barely push the trigger. It's either on or off. And I do plan on getting one anyway just because I've got to assume that that shit feels really good and really premium and I love back buttons, so. And I also don't know where 8 bit dough is with all of their. They were having like a China tariff thing happening recently, but I just don't understand where they're at with the controller and their naming schemes. And I feel like a new one will come out, but it'll. It'll be a reissue. I have no idea what's going on with them right now. And I love their shit. It's just been extra confusing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Timothy, thank you.

[Greg Miller]

What have you pre ordered?

[Tim Gettys]

I had two switches pre ordered. I was trying to get them. I'M always the guy that's refreshing and trying to get as many things as possible for the whole team and like make sure everyone's covered. And I managed to get two. I thought I was going to be able to get more but it was actually a pretty not fun pre ordering experience. They never are fun. But this one, I, I really didn't enjoy how it all went down but I managed to get one that is being delivered on launch day to the Best Buy near us at 10am and then one that's being delivered to the studio the following day on Friday at some point during the day. So whatever one I get first obviously is the one I'm going to keep. And then if I'm assuming somebody's is not going to get here.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And they will get the, the second one if necessary. But in addition to that I got.

[Greg Miller]

If not necessary we can do with it.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know. I mean so one of my friends. I'll find somebody that wants it. I mean if you.

[Greg Miller]

I was gonna say yeah, maybe I might take it then somebody close to.

[Tim Gettys]

Me is going to. To get it. I'm not scalping this or anything but I also got the, the Pro controller and I'm surprised none of you got that. Like I feel like that to me is part of the whole experience of a new console is like, like getting the whole Pro, like you getting the real handheld or real controller in your hands. Because I was so joy cons.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I also.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I was too panicked to try to look for anything else because I was like the website is functioning right now in this moment and it may not in a little bit. So I have to do this right now. And the second one I bought was from Best Buy but that was where I was still streaming as that was happening and it was, it just happened to be that oh it works right now. Let me just do it and see what happens, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I don't. Is it possible to just get one fairly easily now?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what I'm trying to.

[Barrett Courtney]

Yeah. So I also got a Pro controller and that was something like I kind of did going to bed like after I like got through the switch to pre order process. I just went to a different site because Best Buy was kind of being weird after that and I just went to bed one on an app and I was like oh, Pro controller.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, for me not not getting it. It was. It's just a personal preference of I love the Pro controller already for the switch. So the back paddles and the headphone jacks just don't do anything for me because I just don't. And also there's the real Greg Miller ness of this. I just don't play my Switch enough.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Where it's like, yeah, I. If I switch to fall, I fall in love with and I'm playing non stop and doing all these different things and like I use your guys'and the controller or the buttons feel better or something, then sure, yeah, I'd be open to it. But for right now, I'm so happy with the Switch Pro controller. I'm just like. And I have so many of them. I think I have all four of them still.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm a controller sicko. I just like, I have to always try to get whatever the newest thing is to feel which buttons feel better and which ones I would.

[Tim Gettys]

Plus is buying one right now. Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm literally trying. Well, I'm trying to.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It says this item is no longer available for the delivery method you selected. So I assume I have to maybe pick it up in the store.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Andy, I'm with you too. Like I, I love controllers and I love the. The new new and all that stuff. But having played both the Switch 2 in Joy Con mode and in with the Pro controller, I. The Joy Cons were not the substantial increase. I was hoping that they would be playing a lot of Switch 1, playing a lot of Steam Deck. I wanted it to feel a little more in between the two and it's very much like, oh, this is just the Switch again. Right. Bless.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, exactly right. Like I know they. It's technically a bigger size. It just feels like the same thing for me.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And I think a lot of that is because it is still the same thinness across the entire switch. So they don't feel more substantial and they're just. They kind of just feel taller. The buttons don't feel noticeably bigger or anything. And the shoulder buttons still are very chintzy.

[Greg Miller]

Do we have any news on the switch fix to where they. What did that end up getting called? The. Remember the 3D printed one from a kind of funny best friend. They sponsored a fixture.

[Tim Gettys]

S2 the fixture. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Because it used to be. Okay. Yeah, I need a fixture.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

I need a fixture right now for that. Because that is such a amazing life saving airplane device of snapping the Switch screen onto the Pro controller.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. I don't know. I mean the screen's so much bigger now that I feel like the weight distribution might be off for that because I feel like already with the OLED it was getting kind of up there. That would be my one concern is I don't know if that it's gonna feel the same because I love it for the one. But yeah, no news on that as far as I know. But yeah. So I got the, the Pro controller also. The Pro controller is so premium. Like the, the satin finish of it.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

It feels, it is the nicest feeling plastic on a controller I've ever felt. Right. Bless.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, no, it's one. It's one of those ones where the reason why I'm currently trying to order the Pro controller was like, you just had me thinking back to launch day Switch one of like feeling the Joy console for the first time playing Breath of the Wild with a Pro controller.

[Greg Miller]

Right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And how much, how much cooler I think the. Or how much more the experience was elevated by having this controller that felt upgraded, that felt new. And for me, playing the Pro controller or playing with the Pro controller at the Switch 2 event felt that way. Right. It's the same thing, but it is sleeker. It feels more premium. Right. And like I do like back paddles as well. So it does feel like it's jumped into the future.

[Tim Gettys]

And that's my other thing is like I've gotten to the point that I love back paddles, if only just fidget stuff. Like I just love having something to click back there. Like when I'm in between, I'm just running, just clicking stuff and having them on the Pro controller, I'm like. And they're the type that I like too, that aren't like projecting and protruding out into you. It's more just kind of like in there. Yeah, I, I'm very excited for the, the Pro controller. But Greg, I, I get it that like you already love the one. I love the one as well.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

So I don't think it's necessarily that substantial of an increase, but it definitely is a lot nicer what I feel yours. Yeah, I think you're gonna get sold on it after you. After you feel mine. But yeah. Yeah, there we go.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Besides that, I got Mario Kart physical pre ordered and which is very expensive and I hate it, but I want it, so I'm getting it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that like separate from the bundle?

[Tim Gettys]

I didn't get the bundle. Oh well, the bundle's digital only Mario Kart.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I guess I knew that.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Damn.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I didn't think about that. And yeah, I kind of want the physical box.

[Tim Gettys]

So yeah, I got the non Mario Kart digital bundle. I just bought physical Mario Kart as well as the 450 switch too.

[Greg Miller]

And. But is this one of the. I've not kept up because it just doesn't matter to me. Is Mario Kart one of the ones that has the cartridge that just lets you download? Or is it an actual full blown cartridge? Or do you not care?

[Tim Gettys]

This is where I come into this of like, I still don't fully understand this game card stuff. Does it work the way that you just said? Because that's what I would love. But like, I'm not sure if you can do it for yourself. Isn't just more game sharing stuff?

[Andy Cortez]

Like.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

I was saying that I know Nintendo is selling boxes that you open and have a thing in it and you still have to download the game.

[Tim Gettys]

So far that's no Nintendo game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, the full game is on the cart.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, that's all third party stuff. The choice to do that and Cyberpunk's not doing it because they're using the bigger, more expensive gigabyte card or whatever.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Pro controller has been ordered.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

We did it everybody.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Thank you.

[Tim Gettys]

But a question I have for the chat. If somebody understands this with the game card, keep, share, whatever the hell it's called thing, can I, with my physical Mario Kart, have a digital version of Mario Kart on my Switch and not have the physical game?

[Greg Miller]

Absolutely not. I can't. I don't know, but absolutely not. The way they've been setting this up chat. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine that's possible because that's.

[Tim Gettys]

That's what I. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no, no.

[Tim Gettys]

Even if there's like some online check in or something like that, it's just like so hard for physical collectors. Man. This fucking sucks.

[Greg Miller]

They just don't want you going out being a blockbuster. All right, passing.

[Tim Gettys]

I get that. But I mean. But what? The way they have it now of like being able to lend. Lend it out to your friends. Let me lend it to myself.

[Greg Miller]

But if you lend it to your friends, you wouldn't be able to use it on your console.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Just let me lend it digitally to myself. Lend the physical version to myself. Just one.

[Greg Miller]

You're crazy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's insane. I didn't understand what you're saying because it sounds so out there.

[Andy Cortez]

Dude. I'm so annoyed that I. I'm looking at the Pro Pro 2 controller on best Buy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Do it.

[Andy Cortez]

I go.

[Tim Gettys]

I do.

[Andy Cortez]

I do the.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I just had so much joy Doing it just now, it cost me, like, 95 bucks.

[Andy Cortez]

That car really turned around my day. So at the bottom, it says other things you should purchase.

[Tim Gettys]

Right.

[Andy Cortez]

And I see the 128 gigabyte micro SD Express, and I click on it, and it shows me what the product is. And then I go to the search bar and type in Micro SD Express. The first thing I see are the not right ones. This is insane.

[Barrett Courtney]

It's happening with Amazon, too, now, which, like, when I was searching and ordering this last week, these searches weren't as fucked. So I don't know what's been happening. Like, maybe just because they're technically unavailable in certain, like, places that they're not popping up at the top. It's very weird.

[Andy Cortez]

They shouldn't worry about people getting confused with the box art. They should worry about this. This is a much larger issue. Yeah, it affected me.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The thing is that, you know, we don't need the card on day one. Like, how many games are trying to download to your thing?

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, you're right.

[Barrett Courtney]

This is nice to have.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. I'm gonna get this in, like, six months.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. A lot of people say that I.

[Greg Miller]

Am actually gonna download a lot of stuff because there's so many games I want to go back to.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Really?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

We'll get there, too. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Stop it. Sorry.

[Tim Gettys]

No, it's fine.

[Greg Miller]

I'm down. Let's. I. I'll just hold my belt for a little bit.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. People in the Jazz saying physical games have never worked like that. I don't know why he thinks it's. It's different. I'm saying it should be different. I'm saying, like, they came up with a solution to let people borrow digital games. Like, a. The use case for me is I have physical versions. I've had Smash Brothers and Mario Kart are the two examples. I own them physically, which means I don't have them on my switch at all times unless I carry around the cartridge. Just give me a solution for that. Like digital. It totally is.

[Greg Miller]

She doesn't want this in her house.

[Tim Gettys]

She loves it. Mario Kart.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, the boxes.

[Tim Gettys]

She loves the box. She's like.

[Greg Miller]

She loves looking at the box on the wal.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, that's. That's all that. I have.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

AK and Chat says, Tim, you're asking for the original Xbox One concept here.

[Tim Gettys]

And, you know, some people thought it was a good idea. The. The one thing I don't have that I. I am planning to get, well, I guess now is a fucking SD card. I thought that was good. But I'm not. But the one thing that I'm planning to have for launch day because no other games I'm planning on actually buying launch day, Donkey Kong will be. The next physical game I buy is the GameCube controller, which is not available yet. That becomes available from what I heard on launch day. And you need a Nintendo account to get it. Now here's the thing, Greg. You said you don't want one. I'm gonna need to use your Nintendo account because you're limited to one. And I need four of these fuckers.

[Greg Miller]

You got it?

[Tim Gettys]

Sure.

[Greg Miller]

No problem.

[Tim Gettys]

These controllers are going to be my. I have them charged at all times whenever anyone's at my house. We are ready to freaking smash, baby.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Whoa.

[Barrett Courtney]

Wow.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

He doesn't have the belt, Barrett.

[Barrett Courtney]

Yeah, I have the. Unless there's more that you've pre ordered.

[Greg Miller]

I've.

[Barrett Courtney]

I have the Switch to Mario Kart bundle because I think I've decided with the Switch to like. I'm just. I'm going leaning into digital just because this cases are so ugly. Bless you, Tio.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you.

[Barrett Courtney]

The Switch to Mario Kart World bundle and then the SD card I ordered, it should be like on its way. And then the Pro controller for the Switch two and then a carrying case. Just because, you know, I'd like to. Especially because I think I'm going somewhere like a month or so after the. The launch. So I like to have something that's guaranteed to have it.

[Greg Miller]

We're tossing that in then. Yeah. SFBags.com I'm getting that Nintendo Switch 2 case.

[Tim Gettys]

Plus it's just fucking life in the card right now.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I didn't think about a case. Case.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh my God.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, The City Slicker, the one I've used since Vita. They're making a Switch one. You can already preorder your Switch to one.

[Andy Cortez]

How did you. I mean, I'm still getting the. This is no longer available for delivery.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, I'm picking it up.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

With them.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm going to. Let's all go together, get some raisin canes because.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Barrett Courtney]

So like I pre ordered the Switch through Best Buy and so I'm not seeing anywhere in my confirmation, Tim, that it's 10am in terms of like pickups. So I don't know what, what our situation is going to be for that Best Buy, but I think it was.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I saw it in the checkout, I'm pretty sure.

[Barrett Courtney]

Oh, really? Yeah, I just don't like. I mean the checkout at this point was a couple of Weeks ago for me. So, like, I. All I have is my confirmation email and it doesn't say anything. And I know chat has been saying midnight, but again, I'm not seeing any confirmation one way or another, at least on my end. So I'm going to have to pick up either launch night or launch day, dog.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Even the SF bags case is sold out. Yeah, that's rough.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't know if I could be bothered to pick up. I don't know if I.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's down the street.

[Tim Gettys]

We're going to make content out of it.

[Andy Cortez]

Lunch.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But you drive a car.

[Andy Cortez]

Traffic's gonna be crazy on the Switch Day. Oh, yeah, it's gonna be like a Warriors championship is happening, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, we're obviously gonna be live streaming all day on the Switch 2 launch day. What that looks like, I'm not sure. Is it going to be us here as things get delivered here, or is there going to be half of us live at Best Buy trying to pick things up? Stay tuned. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that the same day as sgf?

[Greg Miller]

It's the day before.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

It's the Thursday before Friday is sgf.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, they change. Okay, Gotcha.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, thank God.

[Barrett Courtney]

I'm just hoping that they do the. The place near us does a midnight launch because then I don't have to worry about doing stuff in the middle of the day, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, we'll just take a fun lunch together.

[Barrett Courtney]

Andy brought up a good point. Traffic.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Barrett Courtney]

Five minutes from us.

[Andy Cortez]

You know, there's gonna be a lot of cars.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The closest Best Buy is like, probably the best Best Buy. If you're trying to avoid, like, you know, population, nobody goes there. Yeah, I don't think I've seen anybody in that parking lot in ages.

[Andy Cortez]

I thought they closed that one down. No, no, still kicking the one near the depot. Where do we eat with Elise and James one time.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, they closed that. That's hella far. Andy, we're talking about the Best Buy that is like, literally five blocks away.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, there's a Best Buy that's right there.

[Andy Cortez]

What?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

You know where Raising Cades is? No. Andy, what are you doing for lunch, my man? Everybody, we have to figure out our lives while we do that. Here's a quick word from our sponsors.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Imperial is a complex feature rich action RPG where you'll be sent to a planet in a far off corner of the galaxy to explore an imposing monolith. As an elite mercenary, you'll join the expedition tasked with unearthing the secrets of the Monolith and face off against the deadly automatons within. In Imperial, you'll explore four vastly different quadrants of the monolith, accessible only by using mysterious artifacts known as cardograms.

Imperial features three weapon archetypes the fast paced Acrobatic Glaive, the defense focused Mace and Shield, or the Devastating Cannon with a range of customizable skills and abilities that can make short work of the awaiting automatons.

[Andy Cortez]

Purchased done the second one, not the first one.

[Greg Miller]

Now he's looking at the right SD card, maybe.

[Tim Gettys]

Baby steps, we'll get through here.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You going in or are you getting it delivered?

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, now knowing that they just opened one. Really close.

[Barrett Courtney]

Just opened one.

[Andy Cortez]

Convenient.

[Tim Gettys]

I just Google Maps. Did. It's less than a mile away. It's a three minute drive. Wow.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like, if we say any more about where it's at, we're going to dox ourselves.

[Andy Cortez]

This is a walking city, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh man. Real quick, you guys were talking about the, the bags situation, the portable thing. I've been getting, I tried. Been traveling a lot the last couple months, so I've been getting like really neurotic about my travel options for like what I'm bringing and stuff. And specifically with the Steam deck, I, I don't like how bulky the case has been for it. So I've been like on this quest to figure out like the idea. But my thing is I don't like, I don't like the concept of putting a bag in a bag.

[Greg Miller]

You know what I mean?

[Tim Gettys]

I got my backpack that I like and I'm just like, I want it. I want things as minimal and I need as much legroom as possible. So I want to be able to like squish that shit down as much as possible. You know I'm saying. Yeah, no, I got you, you know, full ass bag. You have no legroom. I hear you know what I'm talking about.

[Greg Miller]

It was when you started clapping cheeks that me and Andy were like, what are you talking about?

[Barrett Courtney]

So really quick, Tim. On June 5th, Best Buys most stores in the US will open at 12:00am Eastern, 9:00pm Pacific. Oh, for pre order pickup, take advantage of our store locator tool to find the closest location to you.

[Andy Cortez]

I love that.

[Barrett Courtney]

So we might be able to do Wednesday night.

[Tim Gettys]

That would be awesome.

[Barrett Courtney]

Mosey on over.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I mean I'm there for sure if possible.

[Andy Cortez]

What I would love case wise. And this is something. I feel the same thing. I feel the same thing about my Steam Deck as well. I have a similar thing with Tim where it's like, it's. It's like a larger bulky case and it's protecting it. That's awesome. But one thing that I purchased recently was a little. It's almost like a clamshell case that just kind of is perfectly form fitted.

[Tim Gettys]

So I put some things in Assets here. This company, Tom Talk, T O M T O C. They've been around for a long time. Cases for a variety of projects or products. I've been loving these. These are. This has been my go to for my Steam Deck, but also I like to travel because I'm crazy with a dualsense edge controller to play my Steam Deck with. And this thing is what you're talking about. It is like as slim as you can possibly get. And also it's indestructible. Not literally, but like you put as much pressure and it's not going to hit the buttons at all.

[Greg Miller]

That's cool.

[Tim Gettys]

And you charge through the hole. Oh yeah. Yeah. Dude, this thing is awesome. So I'm definitely waiting to see what Switch comes out with for the. Or what they come out with for the Switch 2. But the other link I sent Barrett, like they do these for controllers as well. So I have one for my dualsense and I got one for the Pro controller that'll also work with the Pro controller too. And like it's just awesome. It's like literally like as slim and form fitting but it does everything a case needs to do. So highly recommend them. Stay tuned for the Switch 2 stuff.

[Andy Cortez]

That's exactly what I need for all of my shit because again I go to these previews, I take my controller in case they let me use it, but you just leave it kind of flopping around your bag but. Or I put it into the case that it came with and that is bulky. That's a big ass. Like the Elite 2 controller box is really big. So is the like the scuff one or whatever. And yeah. So that's. I. That's a solution I need for the majority of my things.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And then also if you're getting real crazy, what I think I'm gonna do for my Switch is not have a case for the Switch itself because you can just undock it and the tablet's so small. Put that into the laptop section of my backpack that's protected and.

[Greg Miller]

Sure.

[Tim Gettys]

And then just get. And just don't even bring the Joy Cons and just my Pro controller.

[Andy Cortez]

That's a great call.

[Tim Gettys]

Playing with Power Blast.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. That's like a smart ass call.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Crazy stuff.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Get the. Yeah. The Joy Cons. Definitely more real estate than I need. I'm not going to be using them.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Get them out of here.

[Andy Cortez]

No back paddles on the Joy Cons.

[Tim Gettys]

Let's look at the launch games for the Nintendo Switch too.

[Greg Miller]

It sounds like there was going to be a transition.

[Tim Gettys]

No. Yeah. It's a surprising launch lineup. I haven't actually looked at it until last night and it's very high quality. But a lot of it is kind of the catching up. Right. Like hey, here's a bunch of the third party games that have come out over the last couple years that are now going to be on a Nintendo console. There are some glaring omissions. I'll say no Xbox games, which when all said and done after the Nintendo Direct and where we're at now, I'm surprised that we're not seeing any launch games from Microsoft. With how readily available the games seem to be now on PlayStation and their efforts to even like Forza just coming out on PlayStation 5 and doom coming out. Right. Like them not being on Nintendo now. Surprising to me. I do expect that the showcase in June we'll start seeing more of these announcements. But then even today Gears of War announced not on the Switch too.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

What's up with that?

[Andy Cortez]

I feel like we are a year and a half to two years into us always assuming that the next big presentation will be some reveal that the Game Pass app is now on Switch. And it always just seemed like such a no brainer with how much Microsoft wants to just be everywhere. I'm pretty shocked that there's really no. You know, is there going to be an announcement? Will this ever happen now?

[Tim Gettys]

Well, Game Pass probably not.

[Greg Miller]

But undercut sales too much.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. I think with where they're at now like with the new. The game pass conversation I think was what was relevant when we were talking TVs and the. Yeah, yeah. And Xbox wasn't like as third party now as it is in terms of software now that that's the case, I don't think we see game pass on Switch. But I do think that this gives a lot of credence to. I forget who did it, but on Twitter there was the. There's the three phase program. Oh yeah, the dev kit. It's like, oh hey cool, maybe Xbox didn't have a dev kit. That's weird. As though.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean is it?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I don't think it's that weird. I think Nintendo still is a weird company with the wnds and I bet they still view Xbox as competition. Some respect.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's like how long is keep it.

[Greg Miller]

To our trusted partners that we're getting third party systems out to?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because how long has Xbox been. Been this version of Xbox as far as being third party and being open? Right. Like I think if we're at the point we're at now where Forza just came to PlayStation like maybe two years ago, then Nintendo probably would have been like oh yeah, take one, make all these games. Right. But I think it's taken a while to get there. So I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo was a bit more I guess, trepidatious about allowing Xbox a platform.

[Tim Gettys]

Hi Fi Rush.

[Andy Cortez]

Like where?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What?

[Andy Cortez]

Oh yeah, that's just like such a no brainer for a Switch platform. It's.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's really.

[Barrett Courtney]

They own that anymore, huh? Do they own that anymore?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Who owns. No, because they got bought by Embracer.

[Barrett Courtney]

No, like who owns the rights to the first game specifically? Is it still Xbox?

[Tim Gettys]

I imagine so. Right. To their own game, the IP going forward.

[Andy Cortez]

But yeah, I mean the studio shut down and then got reopened and reimagined as something else. But I gotta assume they still have Crafton.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what it is. Yeah, yeah, Craft and now is a hi Fi Rush.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay. Still even more shocking that's.

[Tim Gettys]

I still think that this summer at the Xbox showcase we're going to see a lot of Switch talk from the games because Tony Hawk, Activision, Microsoft, that's coming to Switch, that was part of the direct. So that's a little different because I'm sure that that was agreements and stuff made prior to all the stuff with Microsoft. But anyways, let's talk about what is here. For the launch we have Mario Kart World. Then we have Breath of the Wild and Tears of the kingdom, the Nintendo Switch 2 editions. And they're definitely, like, pushing those as and positioning them as if they are key launch titles, which. Let's talk about that. Obviously, we're all getting Mario Kart World. Are any of y'all interested in Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom?

[Andy Cortez]

Thousand percent. And I'm not proud of it, but absolutely. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, I.

[Andy Cortez]

It's. I am such a frame rate and visual snob that I can't wait to see these things that deserve so much better. To finally have so much better. Unless you're going through, you know, illegal means or whatever. But that's a. You know, like, the fact that we are getting this official version is so sick. I can't believe how excited I am for this. It looks amazing. It runs super smooth. And yeah, it's like, finally, the. Some of the greatest games of all time are getting their due justice.

[Tim Gettys]

And that's what I keep thinking about. Is Greg Miller.

[Greg Miller]

Hi. How are you? You the champion?

[Tim Gettys]

You gave up on Tears of the Kingdom, not because you didn't like it.

[Greg Miller]

Just 40 hours in. Yeah, yeah. Just, you know, pull something else. Ye.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm jealous of you. Here could be your opportunity to play this the right way.

[Greg Miller]

And that's the hope. It would be the hope. As we get there, the thing I find myself struggling with is that I'm more excited to play Legend of Zelda. Wind Waker. Nope, nope, nope, nope. Don't say Link's Awakening. Oh, I never played. I started Ben 1. When echoes of Wisdom came out, I was, like, so excited for it. I started it with Ben and I was like, damn, I forgot how much I love this art style. And I'm like, I never. Same. I didn't review it, so I just lost it. I'm like, before I get any more into this, I need to go play that. And I started that. And I was having a great time with it, but I was like, holy shit, the frame rate is true. Remember, I died as champion. The frame rate is atrocious in this. And it was like that thing of, like, I'm gonna stop because I have to imagine Switch 2 games are gonna be. Or Switch 2 is gonna run these better. And then they made the announcement. It did. So, like, right now, I'm jonesing for that game, which makes me think that I'll get it and download. Will I give Tears of the Kingdom the chance here and go back to it and start from scratch? And I'm just going to Mainline the story this time. Not stick with me. Mainline the story. Not because I don't love the open world stuff, just because it. It was too distracting for me. That's what killed tears for me. Outside of not reviewing it as well and then having to do other reviews, it was that I did 40 hours, but all 40 hours were, oh, there's a shrine. There's a shrine. Oh, that thing's over there. And then it would be like, wait, what the fuck am I doing again? Like, what's the main thing again? I found a. A dragon teardrop of how many hours ago? I don't know what the fuck's happened. Like, I want to go and I want to give it. I need to get my feet underneath me. About the story before I go get.

[Tim Gettys]

Lost and everything else you mentioned. Link's Awakening. Bear, can you bring up what I have here about the. The free updates? They announced all the free updates for select Nintendo Switch games that are going to be coming out for launch, and that includes Arms, Captain Toad, Mario Odyssey, Mario 3D, World Clubhouse Games, Link's Awakening, Echoes of Wisdom, Game Builder, Garage Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Pokemon, Scarlet and Violet, and Big Brain Academy.

[Greg Miller]

So to stop right there, Pokemon as well. For me, thank God, where I had done. I was Violet, right? I was Violet and I did everything except beat the gym masters, right? And I was ready for the dlc. And it was that thing where I played it like crazy and then came back and played like crazy. And then I've been waiting for that next crazy thing to come around. And every time Ben watches the Pokemon cartoon, I'm like, I got to get back to the game. I got to get back to that game. And again to come back and have them run better. I'd rather do that here.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Looking at this, I'm very excited. I'm interested. Because we don't know what this means. Like, they've went into detail about what it means for some of the titles that are getting them paid enhancements. We don't know. Is this frame rate, resolution anything else? Is it consistent between all the games? Like, we just don't know. So I'm very excited to see week one. What everyone's saying about, like, this ends up being this. This ended up being this. Because I don't think Nintendo's gonna straight up say it it at this point. But yeah, Pokemon, Scarlet and Violet. I never finished the second dlc, so I'm excited to play that because recently I booted up my Switch. I'm like, I can't do this.

[Andy Cortez]

Anymore.

[Tim Gettys]

I just can't do this. But also. Yeah. The links awakening and echoes of wisdom running better. Like, that's gonna be so nice. But it's just. And Mario Odyssey. I just want to see, like, hopefully that gets 4k. It already ran like a dream, but, like, even better. Could be nice. The resolution, I think, will go a long way, but we're missing Animal Crossing. We're missing Smash Brothers. Like, there's some games that aren't here, and I'm very interested.

[Greg Miller]

Animal Crossing. Crazy. But it's not there.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. It's a good thing, I think.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. What are you there planning?

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, I think that leaving it open for an enhanced edition, like with Kirby and Breath of Wild and Tears and things like that Mario party. Right.

[Andy Cortez]

So not more substantial. So you're talking added content to.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Make it seem worthwhile.

[Greg Miller]

Don't give me hope.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Give me hope.

[Tim Gettys]

The hope's here. Why else wouldn't it be here?

[Greg Miller]

I don't know. W Indies. We'll say starve me till the next Animal Crossing. Till switch to Animal Crossing. Starfield.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Bless. What's your read on the launch games here?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, my thing, when I look through this, right. When as we're talking about Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, as much as I would love to go back and, like, revisit those with them looking better, I still look at the launch lineup, and I'm like, I don't think I'll have time because I'm gonna spend so much time with Mario Kart World. I'm gonna play the out of deltarune. Right. Because that's coming out.

[Tim Gettys]

Explain that. So Delta Rune chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 are launch game for the switch to what's new there, chapters three and four.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So chapters one and two came out years ago.

[Tim Gettys]

Right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The way that Toby Fox has been putting these out has been a chapter at a time. And Barrett, you can.

[Greg Miller]

You're.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You're up to this up on this too, right? Like, do we know how many chapters total he's going for here?

[Barrett Courtney]

I. I'm confused now too, because I thought it was seven, because the way the story is framed in each of these chapters, it's one day throughout an entire week. But then I've been hearing other reports that there's only four chapters, but I don't. I don't think that's the case. I think there's supposed to be a total of seven.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Everybody in chat is saying. Saying seven as well. So, like, this will get us over the Halfway point, thank God. Yeah. Of deltarune.

[Barrett Courtney]

And each of these chapters are like four to five hours.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Best thing is each of these chapter. Like when you talk about undertale, the, the original game. Undertale was probably like a five to eight hour game. And so like you're essentially getting sequels to undertale here. And chapter chapters one and two felt like full experiences. And so like you're getting two more chapters which are going to be hopefully two more full experiences of what's going on in this story. So for me and for Baron, for the deltarune audience, like, this is going to be a big deal.

[Barrett Courtney]

This is the big thing outside of Mario Kart. This is the big thing that I will be playing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Launch. Exactly.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Same for me.

[Barrett Courtney]

Couple weeks probably.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So yeah, I look at the rest of the launch lineup and like, you know, there are things I kind of want to peek into. Like you mentioned Mario Odyssey. That's one that I want to boot up and just run around for a good 10 minutes. Just like, you know, experience it hopefully in better, better resolution or just better visuals. But outside of that, right, like, you know, maybe I'll pick up soul caliber 2. Maybe I check out Walk on Tour because like some of the, some of the things we saw in the previews looked kind of interesting as far as like what those mini games are, but that's not going to be like a big time waster for me.

[Tim Gettys]

What's high on my list?

[Andy Cortez]

What game?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, welcome Tour.

[Tim Gettys]

The thing where you're inside. Yeah, I want to just get that done.

[Barrett Courtney]

Y'all are going to play pay $10 for that?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Sorry.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Listen, I wasn't complaining like Gary Widow should be. I wasn't the one throwing a tantrum. Where's. What about the, the like Dragon. Dragon Drive. Is that not launched?

[Tim Gettys]

No.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

When is that coming out?

[Tim Gettys]

I don't think they put a date on it and I think it was 2025. But like, I don't think we know much more than that.

[Greg Miller]

Is a month till Donkey Kong. Is that right?

[Tim Gettys]

July is Donkey Kong. Yeah. And Kirby, I think was, was August, so maybe September for Dragon Drive.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I thought for sure that was a launch title.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I mean the launch lineup really feels like heavy on the third party stuff like split fiction, Cyberpunk, ultimate edition, Street Fighter 6, Konitsugami, Path of Goddess, Civilization 7, Hogwarts, Legacy, BR Default, Yakuza 0 Fortnite. Any of those games. You guys gonna give a shot?

[Greg Miller]

No.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, me neither.

[Greg Miller]

Not because I, I, I've played either played them or there's not my game.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, or Switch to is not necessarily where I. I need to play it right Fast Fusion. I don't remember what that is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that part of. That's the Fast rmx.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, you're right. Yeah, yeah. Hitman World of Assassination Signature Edition.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You know what? I might boot that up for a little bit. I don't expect it to be like that much new content, so I don't know how much I'm gonna play it because I think I'd just rather play on PS5. But I'll boot that up just to check it out.

[Tim Gettys]

Nabunaga's Ambition Awakening Complete Edition. Survival Kids Rune Factory. Guardians of Azuma.

[Greg Miller]

Survive.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I forgot Survival Kids is coming out of launch.

[Tim Gettys]

I did too.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I might, I might, I might boot that up.

[Tim Gettys]

No, you won't.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'll just check it out.

[Tim Gettys]

There's not a chance in hell you moved out. Survival Kids Arcade Archives. Two Ridge Racer and then Puyo Puyo Tetris 2s. So that's the launch lineup. Andy, is there any of those that pique your interest besides the obvious ones?

[Andy Cortez]

No, not really. Because a lot of these are just. I don't think I'm going to have time. I think I once Blessing brought up the issue of time. I was like, oh, actually that's a great point because this will be, you know, still a week or two after Night Rain comes out or whenever that like there's just so many other large.

[Greg Miller]

Titles around three weeks before Death Stranding too.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's the thing is like when are we gonna get. That's training too.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So like that's my. That's honestly the bigger thing here with which, you know, I don't think I'll actually get to welcome tour aside from playing like five minutes of it. Hopefully we get a goat. Or if I decide to spend the $10, which is like Destiny 2, there's a rematch is coming out later that month. There's like other things that I kind of want to check out like Dune Awakening and like other games in the realm. FBC Firebreak is in June. Like June is just a big month for video games.

[Andy Cortez]

It'd be one thing if I owned a lot of these games already. This isn't, you know, this isn't similar to getting the PS5 Pro and going, oh shit, let me boot up all those other games I already owned on PS5. This is. Let me buy these games that never existed. Like, I would not do that just to like. I can't justify spending that much on a Game that I would just want to check out, you know?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

That's why for me, it's like most of them are the Nintendo games, right. That are getting some type of free things. I'm excited to pop around there. But, yeah, for me, it's Mario Kart Worlds, the enhanced editions of Breath and Tears, and then welcome tour. But the GameCube stuff is like, what I'm next in line, most excited for specifically F0GX. Like, I've never beat the single player in it because it was incredibly difficult. And I've been waiting for somehow Nintendo to re release it. I thought it was going to be an actual, like, remake or something, but I'll take this. I played a little bit of it at the event and it looks great. Widescreen, everything I kind of wanted from it, which is in direct opposition to Wind Waker, which is not in widescreen. That bothers me and I wish it was the Wii U port, but I'm excited that the original is here as well. I just feel like this isn't how I want to replay Wind Waker.

[Barrett Courtney]

Question for Greg. In terms of GameCube games, obviously they'll get to eventually. Double Dash. Is that. Is that one you go back to and prioritize over Mario Kart World whenever it comes?

[Greg Miller]

No, I mean, I'll stick with World. I imagine it'll be a better game for me. You know, as somebody with limited Nintendo nostalgia, all the virtual console stuff is always, oh, I'm gonna pop in here, check it out. Oh, that's cool. And then I bounce out. So even, like somebody who loves Luigi's Mansion, Even somebody who loves Wind Waker, I don't expect to put real hours into either of those here. I'd be super stuck when they put in Mario Golf. What was the Toadstool Tour on here, right? Yeah, it was Toasted Tour.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I'm definitely gonna go do the exact same thing I'm talking about of try it out for a little bit and then bounce off. But yeah, my launch will be dominated by World. I imagine when I'm out of that, it'll be playing probably Zelda. Whether it's Tears or it is links, awakenings to be decided. And then, yeah, I'll be back to that. Back to that Mario Karten.

[Tim Gettys]

Bert saw in the chest says, I wonder if the Pokemon games are cool. Has anyone played those? Yeah, there's Pokemon Coliseum and XD Gale of Darkness. They're full on RPGs on the GameCube. They're just not traditional. Gym leader Type Pokemon things. But they're both really good. I don't think that they're the best by any means, but they're definitely fun. And they're not that long either. So when they come out, check them out because they're. They're pretty cool. Your starters are Espeon and Umbreon.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, cool.

[Tim Gettys]

Damn cool. In Coliseum at least. But yeah. Andy, what. What's your launch weekend look like?

[Andy Cortez]

Gameplay wise, it's probably a lot of Mario Kart World. It is. I mean, it's got to be Metroid. Like I want to play the shit out of that, you know? Or is prime for not launch?

[Barrett Courtney]

No, we still don't have a date.

[Andy Cortez]

Really?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. No, no, no.

[Andy Cortez]

Me.

[Barrett Courtney]

That'll be their big. That'll be their big fall game.

[Greg Miller]

This has been a revelatory games cast for Andy card. It's Best Buy Metroid.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I didn't realize anyone look into my.

[Andy Cortez]

Health insurance this whole time. I don't know what's going on.

[Tim Gettys]

Seriously. We just talked for an hour. We had brought up Metroid Prime 4.

[Andy Cortez]

Well, you know, it's zoned out.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He said it and I was like.

[Greg Miller]

Am I out of the way?

[Tim Gettys]

Am I out of it? That's gonna be the big like November.

[Andy Cortez]

Or October holiday game for having a rough one, everybody. Thanks, man.

[Tim Gettys]

That's.

[Greg Miller]

Wow. Very quality sweats.

[Tim Gettys]

You were bringing up the GameCube stuff. Are you interested in Wind Waker?

[Barrett Courtney]

Sorry, I had chips in my mouth. Not for launch. I will go to it at one point, but yeah, my. My priority priorities being Mario Kart World, which is going to be a lot with it being kind of a open world, kind of Forza Burnout, what have you. There's going to be a lot to dive into there and then. Yeah. Deltarune being a big Undertale and Delta Room chapters one and two fan. Like that's going to take a bit of time out of me. So that'll be one that I get to probably not at launch, but probably a couple months down the line when things start to. To cool down after like Bonanza and stuff like that.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I feel you on that. Anything else you guys want to talk about in terms of your hype for Switch to.

[Greg Miller]

Super excited for it. You know, I think one of the things that's underrated in terms of the hype for it. You know, you mentioned launch weekend is the fact that Mario Kart World launches at the time where we're all going to be here. You know what I mean? Where it's like we got a Thursday of like a Switch and then it's sgf, which will start our day late, but I imagine will mean we're playing on the TV out there while we wait. And then it'll be the weekend, right. Of going to SGF and covering games, but then also coming back for Xbox and doing that and playing here. It's gonna be a very fun time for content, but also a great time for this kind of multiplayer game to launch where we can all sit around and play.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I'm beside myself. Like, I, like, I literally was sitting in my, my room last night, like looking at my setup. I'm like, oh, man, that thing's getting retired soon. That doc's going away. I don't need all like, I'll get a new one there. I was like, like starting to fantasize about where everything's going. I'm ready, man. Like, I need this thing. I need the, the controller. I need it. I need it all. I need Mario Kart.

I'm so ready to toss out my goddamn Switch charger. It's been the ugliest looking thing ever. And it also doesn't charge any of my current, like, efficiently. All of my current devices. Whenever I'm plug it in, like, yeah, when I'm desperate for just like a USBC and I'll just kind of like, look at like, I've tried it. It's like, doesn't charge well.

[Greg Miller]

Or complains every time.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know, brother.

[Greg Miller]

I'll try, but I don't know.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm so tired of it. I'm so get one of those Steam.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Deck bricks with the Switch 2.

[Tim Gettys]

No, it's. It's nicer. It's like, it looks a lot nicer than the Switch 1 one. It's at least a detachable this time.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, nice. Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, you can see it on the. If you bring up the accessories link.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If I just use like a regular USBC like cable that I got on my phone, it's not going to charge my Steam Deck. And so I'm like wondering if like the Switch 2 is going to have one of the more powerful ones.

[Tim Gettys]

You got to watch the YouTube video, man. The USB C. But one of my least favorite things in life is how non universal this thing is. Like, come on, standardize this in a way that makes sense. But yeah, this is the, the new AC adapt.

[Andy Cortez]

More like Universal Cereals. Sus. Is it a bus? It's not Universal bus. USBC is not universal.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You say uss.

[Andy Cortez]

I. I like, I just want them to work Great. And they just don't. But were you asking that question, Buzz, because of how whenever you buy a new phone nowadays, they don't come with chargers anymore. Was that one of your.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, well, it's more so just the thing of, like, I have, have. I have, like, many chargers and like, half of them are for. For phones and, like, you know, less powerful things. And like, the other half are for, like, my Steam Deck, my rog ally. But then my rock, like my Steam Deck charger, I need to use with my Steam Deck because my Steam Deck, my Steam Deck won't get charged by my phone charger.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

My Steam Deck charger. I love it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

That is true.

[Tim Gettys]

God, we live such different lives. Any chance I get, I'm just like, I'm just going to buy the nicest cables. Every cable I use is the same. I'm gonna power everything.

[Andy Cortez]

So it's never just the brick. It's like the cable. Read the video. Let's watch it.

[Tim Gettys]
