Hollow Knight Silksong Patch Makes Game Easier - Kinda Funny Games Daily 09.09.25

22:09Oh, wow. Which is a crazy thing to say as someone who has kind of put that thing every piece, any place in my room and getting lost. I finally pulled it off, dusted it off, and I can't stop playing it. I'm three hours in. I'm having a good time. I'm now jumping on the Red Hot Peppers, trying to figure out that move and enjoying myself.

22:27Tim Gettys:Yeah, yeah, that's the initial thing that everyone talks about when it comes to the difficulty, is like jumping on those peppers because the side down B or whatever is just a lot. It's a little bit different to get used to. Yeah, it's really fun. It's a great challenge because the first room, when you first get introduced to it, there's a set of five and you're supposed to go right or right to left. I love it. And that's a really fun moment of like, you got to go one way. Now flip it the other way with the down diagonal. That's a pretty, it's a good time to figure out. It's also very frustrating because they put it under a bed of spikes.

22:59So you just constantly die. And it's like, well, that's not the most fun, but okay, you got me.

23:04Tim Gettys:Yeah. No, I genuinely love that whole section. like that whole first section with has the pogoing and then there's like it's impossible to find a bench for like that entire area until you beat the boss until you figure out the thing uh at first you know you're you're you're playing it you're yelling at the screen you're like why is this why did you make this so fucking hard for me uh team cherry but then once you get past you're like thank you for making me do that because it's it's this initial like you need to get good here's how this game works just grind until you can get past it uh game is good yeah the game is really good and that's that's where i think i'm at with the uh difficulty discussion is like the game is really great i love being challenged by it i just don't like those moments of like touching a boss and it takes away two health and i'm like okay that doesn't feel that doesn't feel right for the rest of the world especially when they're stunned like come on yeah exactly right so what are we doing that's that's my only two cents but i'm happy that the early game is a little bit easier for people and i hope we see more updates for the game because the game rules story number two mike you want to go to that one let's take it to me roger xbox confirms tgs live stream this from andy robinson over at bgc microsoft has dated its xbox tokyo game show 2025 broadcast where it's expected to share some significant game news alongside updates on its 2025 lineup and more the xbox tokyo game show 2025 broadcast will take place on thursday september 25th at 3 a.m pacific standard time and we will be live i'm kidding we will not be live reacting we'll be reacting to it on games daily i'm sure the day that day and feature titles from xbox's creative teams alongside exciting updates from our partners in japan across asia and around the world according to microsoft it said quote we know players around the world delight in japan inspired content and games developed in asia and we can't wait to connect with players across the globe to show off the incredible talent and creativity behind upcoming games coming to xbox on the tgs show floor xbox is set to make available a playable version of ninja gaiden 4 for the first time in the to the public alongside opportunities to try out its rog xbox ally and rog xbox ally x handheld pcs what fans are most anticipating however is the expected reveal of the next forza horizon game according to reports microsoft is set to reveal forza horizon 6 at tokyo game show with the game expected to take place across japan mikey xbox you're the xbox guy you excited for this do you think we're gonna see big reveals oh i mean if the end of that article is true we do get forza horizon the next iteration and maybe it's set in japan that is a huge mega reveal for me and probably a lot of the audience out there as Forza Horizon has quickly become one of the best games on the platform, the ecosystem and one of the best racing games around in the video game world.

25:59And so, yeah, that would be a mega announcement. Normally, I love how Xbox has gone to Tokyo Game Show and really established themselves over the past couple of years of like, hey, we have a presence here. We're on the show floor. We're getting our games in gamers' hands. We're helping them check it out. We're also establishing really good connections in the East. We're trying to show you games that are coming both ways, over there and over here, right? And none of them usually speak to me. I think after every single one, there's one or two announcements that I'm like, oh, I'm excited for this, but there's a large kind of like, hey, here's a lot of games that maybe some people are excited for, and hopefully you are.

26:35The idea of Forza Horizon, of course, is like a mega announcement. That's like a summer Game Fest announcement. Yeah, that's a huge one.

26:43Tim Gettys:I'm excited to see that. Do you think, first of all, have the done a big live stream like this before i know they've been in the past couple years okay they've actually done like a full-on okay gotcha but like a live stream that you could watch or is it just they're at tokyo game show uh i believe it's a live stream yeah okay interesting yeah chat let let me know because i i do i don't remember ever watching one of these so well you'd have to be up at 3 a.m well i'm just saying in general right i've never really seen any of those so uh yeah that's that's interesting yeah forza forza i think it's a lock i mean we've heard that a million times if it is set in japan fucking i hope so uh i am interested with the od side of it right with with kojima right because kojima is going to be at tokyo game show he is talking about beyond the strand i don't know when that's happening i know it's happening i think at the end of this month or next month he's doing some type of hey i'm looking forward past what uh i've done with death stranding and talking about some other projects and we're i don't i don't have huge hope that that's going to be a mega blowout hey here's everything i'm working on here's fizz in tears all this stuff but i do think there's going to be some fun stuff there i think he's probably going to reveal robert pattinson in some form is you know working with him i i wonder if this is when we get a little bit more from od if this is like when he finally finally do i know maybe that's too much to be asking from an xbox tgs uh live stream but i mean this is the time to do it right like i mean or maybe you wait to game awards i don't know we're already here like we're already in japan we're already talking about these games it's probably a game awards uh with that kind of star-studded of a cast.

28:10I wouldn't be surprised, as you brought up, during his time, he'll speak about maybe some of the people that he's working with, some of the tools that he's using, the things that's exciting him with this, but I don't think that the Tokyo Game Show will be where you'll see more of this OD project. I think you'll see that on the bigger stage of Game Awards or Summer Game Fest, but their Xbox game showcase. I mean, Forza is a massive announcement. Forza is the one, yeah. If Forza is in Japan, as we really think it is, it's like, that would be super exciting. An awesome announcement there would get gamers pumped up.

28:46And if it's 2026, that year's going to be packed.

28:49Tim Gettys:Do you think any third-party stuff, are we going to see the Persona 4 revival? Are we going to see more of that or anything? They've done a great job over the years, teaming up with teams that you wouldn't believe, like Atlas, right? And they've brought on Persona. We've gotten the Like a Dragon series on Game Pass. Final Fantasy came over. Final Fantasy. They finally teamed up with that. That would be a big announcement of getting some special Final Fantasy finally. Right. Because they've done a good job at really saying, hey, there's no more walls. Like bring these games over. Yeah. But I don't know if you'll get any sort of major announcements.

29:20You'll definitely get a partnership that will make you say, oh, wow. Nice grab right there. I think. I think it would be safe to say a date for remake intergrade because I don't know if that's actually out yet on Xbox. uh in terms of yes sega like i maybe something yakuza related i'm not sure um i think that persona 4 revival thing is like years out yeah you think so yeah because like what we saw in that initial announcement i think earlier this year like that was like 10 seconds of in engine gameplay whereas like when they revealed persona 3 reload it was very like we were seeing the battle systems and cut scenes and all of this shit whereas like i think revival is very early

30:00Tim Gettys:on since we're already talking about revival i was thinking about this because we kind of just moved past it ever since it was announced remember that whole thing with the voice actors and we thought that that was like some type of marketing scheme and then that doesn't seem like it was yeah we don't talk about that we didn't talk about that at all i i that's crazy there might be some genuine upset from these uh from these actors that they were not asked to be a part of this remake it also seems again very early in the development of this game so who knows um i'm also of the mind that, you know, Persona 3 Reload was also majorly recast to, you know, bring in a new era of voice actors to play high school students.

30:38And I think they should do the same for Persona 4 Revival of, like, bringing in a younger, newer generation of voice actors. Because, like, I love Yuri Lowenthal. Yuri Lowenthal doesn't need to be voicing a high schooler anymore. You know, so... Yeah, just for nostalgia's

30:52Tim Gettys:sake. Yeah. And, like, if you bring him back, bring them back as some of the adults like persona 3 reload did you know yeah it's it was such a weird one because they were doing it in like the order of you get the characters and you you team up with them it was i wonder part of me like wonders is like just like the marketing i'm always looking at for the marketing and like how this is going was there actually supposed to be a bigger blowout for this game and then they just ended up being doing something smaller and they kind of had to cut the thing short and then maybe this is the moment to do it i don't know but that just seemed like a very weird like almost hey we're just doing marketing almost but i guess they're actually having a crash up maybe we shall see any other things anything that comes to mind mikey more katamari shit bro we got the and that's a new one though i know october so you know locked in maybe something a little bit yeah just a little bit just a little bit bro show me more i love rolling stuff up my favorite you love rolling stuff up uh we will talk a lot more about tgs we have some uh some sega stuff that we get to talk about you know what that means uh but before we do that remember the kind of funny membership on patreon.com slash kind of funny or youtube.com slash kind of funny games gets you the show ad free and speaking of ads let me tell you about our sponsors this episode's brought to you by shady rays you know that moment the one when you realized you left your favorite pair of sunglasses at the beach we've all been there i'll never forget leaving my incredibly overpriced sunglasses at a restaurant in santa monica that was 13 years ago and it still haunts me to this day.

Story number three, Sega's Tokyo Game Show lineup teases four mystery titles. This is from Andy Robinson over at VGC. Sega will exhibit four mystery titles at Tokyo Game Show later this month, it's revealed.

34:31Tim Gettys:On Tuesday, the Like a Dragon publisher launched its official TGS site. I appreciate that that is the call out right there. Nothing else. Just Like a Dragon publisher. Person out of my own heart. Launched its official TGS site along with the list of games it's set to exhibit at the event. Which kicks off September 25th. Alongside the likes of Sonic Racing Crossworld, Virtual Fighter V Revo, Persona 3 Reload, and Persona 5 Phantom X. are four empty slots marked coming soon. It's likely that some of these unnamed projects will be revealed related to Like a Dragon's studio RGG, which is set to hold its annual summit live stream the day before Tokyo Game Show.

35:16Tim Gettys:Last year's RGG Summit, which also took place ahead of TGS, saw the announcement of Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which was released the following February. Another Sega title that could appear at TGS is the next Virtua Fighter game. Just last month, Sega showed off a first look at the in-game combat in its upcoming Virtua Fighter sequel. It's possible the remaining titles could be shown during an expected Nintendo Direct live stream. Sources have previously told VGC that a Nintendo Direct presentation is planned for mid-September. Mike, it's happening. I mean, you're my guy, Roger. RGG RGG we have the untitled virtual fighter game we're going to get a title on that whatever that is maybe it's just virtual fighter maybe it's virtual fighter 6 whatever we're doing with that we're going to shoot the whole blowout maybe we put a date on it I think this is the time the year of studio RGG even though every single year is the year of studio RGG they are going to put out the title probably release date or release year for a virtual fighter definitely going to get more on Stranger Than Heaven which is their next upcoming game previously Project Century that's going to be fire we're gonna get we're gonna get a full blowout gameplay demo they're gonna do the whole thing they're gonna put a date on that and then they're also gonna do it they're gonna say hey uh yakuza nine is coming out the full next mainline yakuza game is coming out here's what it is about here they're probably going to do the thing where they show uh like the poster of it and just say hey we're working on it don't worry about it we'll see you in two years a year and a half from now I believe that's how they did it for Infinite Wealth.

36:52Tim Gettys:They just showed Yakuza 8, and then they showed Ichiban and Kiryu and Kiryu's new look, and they just put the poster, and they just said, hey, we'll see you when we see you. So that, to me, are three of the four. That's three of the four right there. I got a four for you, Roger. The chat's been calling it out. Where's that Crazy Taxi game? Where's that Crazy Taxi game? Don't get me excited. Don't get me excited. Where's Crazy Taxi? Mike, where's Crazy Taxi? You know. Tell me. You're holding secrets. Dead? Old game's old. You don't like Crazy Taxi? I love Crazy Taxi. I just don't. I don't see it in 2025.

37:31Isn't that one of the games that they tease? Yeah, it doesn't have to be 2025. They're showing it off. I don't see it in 2026. You don't see it ever. I mean, let's be real. If they announced a Crazy Taxi, I'd go crazy for it. Yeah, you'd be crazy in the taxi. We also have to have a killer soundtrack. I'm noticing a lot of games right now. I'm not bringing the soundtrack. They're not bringing the soundtrack. Maybe they should hire DJ Mike. Yeah, DJ Mike. That's all they need. They just need somebody pressing the buttons on Spotify.

37:55Tim Gettys:That's all they need. God, this game looks like something. This was seven seconds that was posted in that trailer where they showed off, I think, this and then. Oh, it's got to be them. I don't. What was the other game that they. Was it Shinobi? Is Shinobi a second game? Golden Axe, right? They're working on. Yeah. I got to find that trailer. I don't know what it's called. Oh, and then the Jet Set Radio, right? There were also some working on that one. That was also leaked a while ago. That was, like, with the Persona 3 stuff. I remember that. Yeah, realistically, yeah, that would be my thought, is that these are three of the four.

38:32Tim Gettys:Not disappointing, but also, like, come on. If you already just show it. Those are pretty strong titles. Yeah, but, yeah, I don't know. Keeping the mystery titles, we already know. I mean, I guess the Yakuza one would be the big one. Yeah, Jet Set Radio. This is 2023, everybody. This is from the Australia. Damn, this looks cool. This looks fucking sick, dude. Oh, this is... What was that one? That was, um... Shit. What's that beat-em-up game?

39:00Tim Gettys:Is that Twin Dragons? Double Dragon? Double Dragon, Twin Dragons? Fatal Fury. Fatal Fury, there it is. Streets of Rage? Can't ever go wrong with Super Monkey Ball. Streets of Rage. Streets of Rage. Oh, Super Monkey Ball. They make a lot of those, though. They do. Also, RGG Studio makes a lot of those. Here we go. We got Shinobi, which just came out. fuck that game's so good i need to play it looks like shit on switch don't play it on switch whatever this is golden axe yeah golden so they have a lot they got a lot of stuff in the works here i would love a crazy taxi i would love a crazy taxi i i'm interested to see what this crazy taxi is because the rumors were that some type of like multiplayer experience thing that doesn't excite me whatsoever that makes me sad honestly really i don't want that i want that to be maybe a mode that i can jump into i don't want the core experience to be that i don't want like a a live service crazy taxi game that doesn't excite me whatsoever.

39:49Well, if I have to put up with the live service skate game that releases next week, you're going to put up with the live service, crazy taxi. You're right. I would put up with that next week. I like that. You have to put up with it. You're not excited about that. You're the one defending NBA 2K. NBA 2K is a franchise. Great franchise. It can't be that. No, I want a full fledged skate. I want skates. It's going to be a crazy. People are saying it's good. Yeah, we'll see you next week. We'll see you next week. We'll see you next week. Any other last ones? No, I mean, I'm all about seeing more Yakuza, right?

40:22More like a dragon. Did you ever finish Hawaii? I did. You did? I finished Hawaii. That will, you know, keep an eye out for my top 10. I never forgot. That and Monster Hunter Worlds or Wilds. Never forgot. I haven't forgotten. I'm going to have to pay you under the table to get that game on the list. We can make that happen. You and I will be the only person.

40:40Tim Gettys:We should game the list. You know what I mean? Like, we put it at one. We know what's going to be one, right? We just gave Melissa a little bit. It'll be fun. Do we know there's going to be one? Yeah. Crazy Taxi. I mean... Fuck you. I hope to see more Yakuza and Like a Dragon. That's all I want, Roger. This Project Century game looks fantastic. Give me more of that. Give me more of it. I want to see it. Light it up. Story number four. Going back to Xbox. Xbox is coming to cars. Thanks to an LG and Microsoft partnership. This is from Tom Warren over at The Verge. Microsoft and LG are partnering up to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to internet-connected vehicles.

41:15Tim Gettys:A new Xbox app will soon be available on cars that use LG's automotive content platform, ACP for short, allowing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to access cloud versions of Xbox titles directly on in-car screens. The Xbox app will be able to stream games when they're charging on an EV or trying to entertain passengers on a road trip. LG's ACP is already available on Kia's EV3 in Europe and is also coming to EV4, EV5, and New Sportage. ACP runs LG's webOS platform, the same software that powers its smart TVs, it's dog shit and I hate it, that's me Roger saying that, and provides access to a variety of content like Netflix, Disney +, YouTube, and more.

42:03Tim Gettys:quote our work with lg is the latest example of xbox expanding to new places building on partnerships that already bring xbox cloud gaming to mobile devices pcs and tvs says christopher lee president vice president of xbox marketing quote by adding vehicles to the mix we're giving players more choice than ever in how they enjoy their games do you think that andy's car has this when i buy it like do you think i'll be able to install that you know what i'll make some phone calls, we can make sure it happens. We can make it happen. We can do like a pit my ride thing. Yeah, we just put it on there.

42:38This is lit. Yeah. Is it? Gone are the days of the early 2000s when we used to have the Cadillac Escalade with the screens in the backseat. Dude. For your children to enjoy on the long road trip to the ice hockey tournament. I would be. Or upstate.

42:51Tim Gettys:My parents in the fucking Ford Focus, the 2004 Ford Focus would be behind people in the minivans and I would look over and I would just see people watching the the fucking the pacifier with fucking vin diesel or whatever and i'll be like man that's living right there that's living that's living right there what if we brought that back and you were able to play xbox games in the back seat okay dude i think we're healing as a world and as a country like i think that's what we need i you know what honestly i think the the streaming side of it that's the more more boring aspect of it if they were saying that these you know what they should do all of these cars come with a built-in series s we just put that bitch in there bang right in there.

43:30We have the fold out TV. Easy. Just have it right in there. It would be sick. Bang. Right in there. My good friend AJ back in the day. Shout out to AJ. Shout out to AJ. AJ was my guy. AJ's father had the big Cadillac and he had the Xbox in the back with the two screens. And man oh man, we had a five minute drive to high school and we would jam in the back and we would press that button as fast as possible to try to boot up a game of NFL Street of NHL. You have ten minutes. You have ten minutes to play this game. From the The moment we hit the driveway, we probably turned that on, loaded it up, and played half a second of it before we got dropped off.

44:06But it was the greatest of times. We were in the future.

44:08Tim Gettys:It's so funny how nowadays we're trying to AI and do all this. We were already there. That's infinitely cooler than this. I stand by that. That is infinitely cooler than having an actual PlayStation 2 inside of a car. How cool was that? And that was somewhat normal. That was built into things. It was not hard to do. And then now we've regressed. We pulled away from that. Oh, we can't be having fun in cars anymore. Oh, we got to focus on driving. Now we're back. Now we're back at a lamer version of it. Paris wants to call in. Maybe Paris will call in and chime in. But I do think this is a fun partnership.

44:42We've already seen this with Tesla and Cuphead, right? And we know that sitting at the charging station absolutely sucks. Sorry, that's an insane sentence. I know it's true. I know it's true. We've already seen this with Tesla and Cuphead. Isn't that crazy? That's the world we live in now, is if you have the super high-tech car, you have all this at your fingertips, and it only makes sense that if all the apps are coming on, Xbox makes a move to say, hey, you can play cloud games on this. Give us your$15 a month. Let's go. And you say, yeah, sure. One day, Roger, you're going to have a little beautiful family, and your children and you are going to drive out to beautiful Tacoma, Washington on a great road trip.

45:21I love that. And they're going to yell, Daddy, Daddy, I'm so bored at the charging station. and you're gonna be like me and your mom want to go for this hike we just want to go outside and get some fresh air and they're gonna be like no i just want to play games dad and you're gonna hand them an xbox i'm gonna cry and you're gonna press that screen and you and your wife are gonna have a nice little picnic outside the car watching the kids play games and that is gonna be the good life

45:44Tim Gettys:yeah and then i'm this the only way that's gonna happen is that it's uh i'm gonna install a dvd player in my 2007 toyota yaris i connected xbox one to it and then that's how they're gonna play the games because i'm not buying the shit uh paris lily did you call in are you here are you here i am here yes paris talk to us i only well before i get into why i called everything's in xbox at this point so just embrace it i'm telling you just put a series s in there though you know what i mean we don't need it in the cloud paris you know what i mean you know how much cooler it I called because I, last night, saw a Slack message from you, Roger.

46:23Oh, snap. I love this. I love to get into it. Your boy's in first place. Paris, there's a whole Reddit post. There's a whole Reddit post about how they think you're going to win, Paris. Yeah. You have the best betting odds to win right now. But here's the reason I called in. I remember sitting at that very table in January and saying hollow night silk song and the eye rolls and the giggles that I got for me taking that game and look at it now. Look at you now.

46:58Tim Gettys:Yeah. He was at a hundred. You were at a hundred, which is insane. And let's not forget. Fable was my first pick and I don't even get that, but I maneuvered and you see my lineup. I'm looking good. Take a look at Paris. That's all I'm saying. God, we should have counterpicked Fable. We just should have done it. We just should have done it. What a big shot to call out Hollow Knight Silk Song. Yeah, good for you. For Paris after years of, is it coming, it's never coming, the clown makeup, and look at Paris now, riding high. Yeah, well, either way, I think Mike's still got it. I think Mike's got it.

47:31Tim Gettys:You think I got it? You got empty slots to fill, and we're going to work together. I think it's going to be a close race between Mike, Paris, myself, and Blessing. Don't throw yourself in there. The chat was really happy about Paris saying Call of Duty. What other ones do you have? Out of Worlds. You had a lot of solid picks right there. A lot of people were hyping up Paris in the Reddit, Paris. So you got to give them some love for that. Oh, yeah. I need to go check out the Reddit thing. Borderlands. I just wanted to come in and just say, hey, your boy's in first. I don't know how long this is going to last.

48:01I'm going to take my victory lap. Paris before you go really quick before you go you got a family what about Xbox in the car are you okay with this if my kids were still young actually I think I would be okay with this I think it'd be a cool distraction because you know we're doing the DVD players and the SUV trying to get things to keep them distracted on a road trip so if there's a vehicle that has built in internet that they can literally just sit in the back seat and play a video game I'd be all for it. My kids are old now, so it doesn't matter. Dude, we had the GameCube with the flip top on that.

48:39Plug it into the car charger. We would drive all the way up to Copper Mountain and Winter Park. It was the longest Colorado drives in the winter. Massive traffic to go up skiing and snowboarding. We'd plug that thing in. Oh my god. The greatest with that little GameCube, man. The screen was this big.

48:57Tim Gettys:You can do that now with the Series S. With the X screen. Mike, before I go I do have a question for you though Tell me Paris How does your kids feel about this? You know what, I've called up little Billy and Susie and they're jazzed up, they can't wait for dad to take them on a road trip Give them the controllers and game because they know I love to game too so like, put that Tesla in auto drive I sit in the back seat We're all gaming Hey, just make sure you let Sarah Bond know We love you Paris, you're the best man we'll see yeah and that was you i'll catch you later see you at paris that was uh that was actually your monthly call you only check off of them once a month but you made sure to let them know yeah you told them about it i said little billy as soon as you hear the news yeah xbox game fans company cards dad we need clothes xbox i gotta buy this new kia ev3 story number five a bunch of resident evil games are reportedly getting switched to ports this is from Zach, this is Wizen from Kotaku.

49:59Tim Gettys:Various industry leakers and soothsayers are claiming that Resident Evil 7 will get a Switch 2 port and it will be announced at the rumored upcoming Nintendo Direct. I want to call it mythical. You know what I mean? It's just like it's in the ether. We don't know if it's real or not. Meanwhile, another industry insider with a solid track record says that many Resident Evil games powered by Capcom's RE engine are going to be ported to Nintendo's new console too. On September 3rd, well-known and reliable Resident Evil leaker Dusk Gollum shared that they had heard that Capcom was bringing, quote, all the Resident Evil RE engine games to Switch 2.

50:36Tim Gettys:This news was shared on Reset Era in a forum thread and rumors about rumors that the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem would arrive on Switch 2 and PS4. Some assumed that if Capcom was reportedly bringing the newest Resident Evil game to Switch 2, it might be possible for recent entries built upon the same tech to arrive on Nintendo's hybrid machine as well. And it sounds like that's exactly what the publisher has planned. Other leakers have since claimed that Capcom will announce a Switch 2 port of 2017's Resident Evil 7 at a rumored direct later this month. On Tuesday, Dusk Gollum shared more info on social media, While the leaker couldn't confirm those specific RE7 announcement rumors, admitting that they don't have information about Capcom's marketing plan, Dusk Gollum did reiterate that they have heard several times now that Capcom has been working for a hot minute on bringing all the main RE engine Resident Evil games titles to Switch 2.

51:36Tim Gettys:Importantly, the leaker clarified on social media that these will be native Switch 2 ports and not streaming versions powered by the cloud. okay sweet makes sense yeah yeah like that you know the hardware stronger now get these titles that are still hot i mean we have resident evil 8 village on phones yeah right so i mean yeah you're able to put that on the switch too that makes sense to me and they use the cloud gaming on the one resident evil i remember a couple years ago yes yeah they did that i think they did it for eight yeah yeah so yeah i'm in for this i mean i'm still skeptical of like show it to me right of like let's get to the other rings let's get to the resident evils of like put it in the dock give it to me a handheld show me that it can actually do it but this is the dream that i'm holding on to of like this will be a strong enough machine where i know five years down the line third party titles are going to come and support this and i'm going to be happy with my purchase pretty cool that there's like we have chronos uh which is i believe on the switch to right now um which is crazy uh and then now we're potentially getting all the resident evil games pretty strong horror lineup there uh to have that connection i'm interested to see uh how much uh how i guess quote unquote easy it is for them to port over these re engine games over because now we have so many capcom games that are running on that architecture right we even have uh monster wilds right that'd be crazy that'd be insane to do that uh but is it possible is that possible to happen i mean we'll see big wind big win devil may cry 5 put that on that a solid audience and install base over there.

53:03That'd be sick.

53:04Tim Gettys:If they could put Devil May Cry 5 on there running at 120 FPS, I think that's possible, too. I think it's definitely possible. It might blow the machine up. I don't think so. Because that game is super well optimized on PC, at least. Super well optimized. A Steam Deck is running that thing at silky 60 FPS. I think that would happen. But Mike, if that were to come to switch to Devil May Cry 5 was 120 FPS, that'd be huge news. If I wanted something smaller, where should I go? You'd go to our last story, the Wii News channel, where we cover all the small news items you need to know about, Roger. Thank you, Michael.

53:37Tim Gettys:Story number six, Wii News. Pacific Drive DLC expansion. Whispers in the Woods has been announced. Digimon Story. Time Stranger. Demo launches September 10th for PC, September 11th for PS5 and Xbox Series. I'm going to check that out. Same day as Garfield. I'm a Digimon kid. Digimon? Yeah. You're a Digi-kid? I don't like the... We talked about this. We call them Digi-destins, Mike. I don't like the main guy. The little fucking T-Rex or whatever. The little mini guy. I don't like that fucker. You didn't like the tiger seal? With the unicorn form? It just looks nasty, bro. They were supposed to be nasty.

54:19You didn't like the... In a world of gumdrops and lollipops and Pokemon, Digimon was nasty. I can get behind that, actually. Yeah, there was a bunny and jorts with gauntlet guns for hands. I don't like that. It's fucking sick.

54:33Tim Gettys:Strange Scaffold's Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is coming to Xbox and iOS. The Match 3 survival horror comedy RPG Metroidvania arrives on Xbox Series consoles on September 17th and iOS on October 28th. I definitely actually, if it comes to Android, I will try that on Android because I think that works well because it's a Match 3 game.

They're saying he's got a good chance to run away with it. And if some of these games can deliver, he should be there. But Mike, you and I know. We know the truth. We've been doing things. We've been doing things. We know things. We've been scheming in the background. We've been seeing things. We know things. I have one open spot left, and you're going to have to stay tuned to find out what fills that spot because we've been scheming over here in the Mike and Roger production studio.

Yeah, and you know, Paris is like technically all part of our group. Like he's like, you know. Oh, you don't get to claim him. No, that's not how that fucking works. I don't claim anybody. He's just a good friend. You were saying he's a part of our group. Well, technically, because it's X cast and I was on the X cast a bunch. And, you know, it's a lot. At this point, I need anybody else but Mike to win. Yeah, me. We have big plans. You're not winning. We got big plans.

57:25I was never a Spyro kid. It was always Glover. It was always Rayman. It was always Conker. Those are my squad. I was into Rabbids. They rock.

57:36Tim Gettys:I love the Rabbids, bro. It's a bonus of conviction. Did you notice that? When you're in the carnival scene and you look up? It's a mega crossover. It was a huge crossover. When you have the minions of the video game universe, you put them everywhere. And they did it first. They don't get enough love. They do not get enough love. act.98 y 'all listen to the sonic crossroads dj mixes sega's putting out there's some heat in there mike you gotta put it on the list put on the dj list do they need dj mike they might need dj mike uh that's a great chat i'm gonna listen to that for sure uh riley super chats for the fellow

58:17Tim Gettys:coloradians coloradians got out chat 420 420 they gave us a 420 right there i love that oh shit I had to look at the month. Did they put up the... This is 303. Oh, shit. 303. Oh, okay. I like that. Like the Gould of Colorado, like the band that you might know. They performed at my prom. Kebabs, final super chat of the day. Where were Mike's kids during backyard baseball? Not drafted because they're not talented enough. Damn. You have to be a certain level. And Roger, you know what? We skipped out on the biggest news of the day. Bear, can you please bring this up on Steam? Backyard football. The biggest release of the year for 2025 has dropped today, Roger.

58:59And I don't know if you know, it's finally time to return because we got the license and we got some former pros returning. No. Backyard football drops today. How exciting is this? Sunny day will return to the gridiron. The kids will hit. We're playing this today then. I mean, I'll show you it. Yeah, Roger. You know what I mean? Coach Mike, he needs some time. Oh, okay. Okay. Coach Mike didn't bring his track suit today. Always excuses when it's you, but anybody else has a fucking excuse. You're like all uptight. You're like, why can't I do a play game? Why can't Roger play games? That's what I say to him all the time.

59:37Shout out though. Backyard football's back. Big deal. Now we have soccer. We have football. We have baseball. You get basketball in there. We've completed it. I know there's hockey. We can get the hockey eventually, but now where do we go from that? When do they release a new game in the franchise in the series? Are they working on that? Can they deliver a good backyard sports title in 2025 and beyond? That's not just the re-releases. Yeah, no. Call me. Let's have a conversation.

1:00:08Tim Gettys:You want to be like the executive producer of this game? Make the game good. What would genuinely be your pitch? Is there a way to make it? Would it be to actually try to make this a more arcade-y type deal? Yeah, I would shoot for us to make a NFL blitz, NHL hits, an NBA street type of game with the kids. It has to be that. I don't think the point and click sports title is going to mesh well in 2025 right now with the younger audience. And so I would find a way to make it more fun with a more arcade-y style right there. We got a few year wrongs. kebabs says the starting location in hone is called litter root town not litter root city but both both both may and the play and the player characters are from there who said that kebabs yeah kebabs i'm grieving you can't you can't say yeah okay i've lost somebody i lost a little lost little guy mad rock dose uh says hollow knight did have enemies and bosses that did take two mass damages was it the same amount though to me it's this feels like way out of proportionally almost every single time I'm fighting a boss it's taken to let me know let me know in the chat do not don't write there let me know the chat so I can read it and I believe that's it oh kebabs did say not not your wrong but context Roger's probably thinking about the Spyro a hero's tale on PS2 that's what I'm thinking about it is that's a great care if you have a second can you pull up the cover art of that game they had a penguin yeah Spyro a hero's tale on PS2 it is like the most dude rock dudes rock cover art of all time I I love that one.

1:01:45Tim Gettys:And the legacy of Kane. Whoa. Yeah. It's so sick. This is like a fucking Star Wars. It's sick. It's the sickest poster. It's so good. Wow. Look at this thing. So sick. Holy cow. So sick, dude. I saw that once and I was like, this is, I don't give a fuck about Spyro. Yeah. I care about these fucking three fuckers. I want that as a six foot tall poster. Yeah. In my house. Like going up the stairs. Yeah. That would be one. Oh, going up the stairs. You go up the stairs and you're hit with just six foot banner posters, a video game cover art that I love. And guess what? This would be one of them. And I've never even played a Spyro game.

1:02:24This man with the goggles. What's his deal? He just looks stupid. Why is he standing like that? That's go for the goggles. That's go for the goggles.

1:02:32Tim Gettys:Really quick. Goggles the gopher. I love that. Let's put up one more. Legacy of Kane Defiance. I love this one. I love this one. This is also the sickest. It's just the sickest cover art of all time. Both these are so good Jonathan Santos, Roger, get good Where is this coming from? That was in the beginning of the show Where the fuck is this coming from? So sick, look at that Just two dudes, not even the red one Look at these two dudes, bro Just the sickest dudes in the world Oh yeah?
