0:53Blessing Adeoye Jr.:gym and like i think when people go to the gym they obviously have their favorite muscle groups that they like to work out. Like, I talked to Barrett about this, where he loves leg day, and I think that is absolutely insane. That makes a lot of sense about Barrett, though. But I'm like, yeah, it does. They call him Big Leg Barrett. Big Leg Barrett. And I'm like, I like working out the arms, but now I'm like, I need to stop working out the arms. It's getting a little crazy. It's getting a little too much, where I'm like, I lift something, and I'm like, I didn't need a lift of that. You know what I mean?

1:19Like, I got to use my other muscles. It's all biceps. It's all biceps and triceps for me. So freaking funny. Let me use my legs. oh man well it's friday blessed we have a three-day weekend upon us what plans do you have i plan to use this thing right here oh i got the ay and thor that i've not talked about in any of the shows i'm only like blue sky about it but i love this thing so much andy put me onto it of course andy's been the one evangelizing the the good word of the ay and thor and that man is

1:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:correct oh yeah it's been crazy one how well how cool this thing gets once you set it up which takes quite a bit this thing gets in the weeds and it runs on android you boot it up and it's an android home screen so you got to figure out how to set up all the stuff that you want to set up but there are amazing guides that make it amazing guides simple but take some time take some time set aside two hours yeah at least and yeah i got this thing set up the way i want it to be set up and i've been loving using this thing it plays my steam games now obviously it's not gonna play the powerful steam games but i have quite a few on here where i'm like 80s 2 hollow night you're gonna play the spire blood dungeon i got downloaded on here is now the time that you're gonna get into hollow knight silk song oh i know right now but i mean hey this might be the entryway this does help the fact that i can fit it in my pocket and i can go on the bar and have something that's not i don't have to carry a steam deck you know what i mean or even a nintendo switch which requires me to have like an extra bag to it i can just have this wherever i go amazing man what a beautiful device the game unrelated to this i've been playing pokemon heart gold yeah yeah good game good game so good man let me tell you about pokemon heart gold we'll talk about that later that was great that was really good uh before we get into all that stuff i have two things that i want to talk about two things that make me very very happy yeah i woke up to a fun surprise today i got a tweet kev can you bring up the tweet and let's watch the first thing here we go

3:37Come on.

3:44time and

3:49tweeting at me and kind of funny feel like pay, Tim, we all got really hyped over who saw your reaction to the reveal of the sword. The games coming out, I hope you enjoy it. Like clearly he recorded this before the review embargo dropped but like, yeah, like cool. Peek as It really awesome makes me feel special. Yeah, directly from thecer. pomXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXN内 the director. That's so cool it is, it is so cool. Especially because I ended up loving the game so much. So it's like, yeah, I appreciate that a lot. I think it's somebody that grew up playing these games and loving them so much. It's like, whoa, I'm just kind of dope.

4:22I mean, you're kind of Mr. Onimusha if you think about it. Hey, I'll take that. I'll take that. But y 'all can become Mr. and Mrs. Onimushas this week. I think it's out. Out today. It's out today. Yo, get Onimusha away at the sword. Yeah. It's awesome. Very fun. Love it so, so much. But yeah, that's not the only thing that happened to me that made my life a lot better. Yeah. Nintendo sent me a little present. Oh. a very Tim Getty's presence. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 8 LP vinyl box set. And it is a thing of beauty. Oh. Oh my god. I'm tearing up looking at it. This is so cool. Look at that.

5:00Holy shit. It is so sick. This is sick as hell. So much dope ass art. This is so cool. Oh my god. Look at that.

5:17i've never been this jealous of anybody come on man it's just all of them are so red everyone just gets cooler than the last well then there's that one yeah i just want to listen to the the i just put that one at the start oh come on classic of course come on man so cool this is from a laced records uh you can get it now in a whole bunch of different storefronts but they have it on nintendo.com on the store there if you wanted to check it out but i mean like dude these are some premium collections and like i love it one of my one of my favorite soundtracks of all time

5:53Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i'll put it up there probably top 10 for me as far as that yeah and i people i know people are split on the soundtrack because it's way more muted it's way more like calm you know it's not in your face in the way that previous zelda soundtracks are and obviously when when you have ocarina in your legacy i think people have the highest of expectations for me i love the breath of the wild soundtrack i love the piano melodies that come through i love the rito village song which i know is from wind waker uh because it's i forget the name of it but it's a rendition of a previous song that rito village version of it though oh my god that's maybe my favorite song in the zelda franchise it's funny you call it that song in particular because my My favorite rendition of that song is from Tears of the Kingdom during the Kolgara battle.

6:39Yeah, so good. Oh, my God. So good. It pops off so hard. But I'm with you that the Breath of the Wild and Tears soundtracks, they're obviously massive. We need eight vinyls to hold this. But I think that there's an argument to be made that if you were to kind of get rid of a lot of the more atmospheric songs and just look at, like, the songs with a more traditional melody, it does toe-to-toe stand up. with any of the others. Especially Tears. Tears kicks it up a notch in that regard. But I like the calm stuff. I think that's my thing. Just to put it on in the background. I like it a lot. And what a unique vibe, too.

7:17It gave the game such an identity. Yeah. Like, sonically. For sure. Love it. But shout-outs to Nintendo. Thank you so much for sending that through to me. If you're watching live, be part of the show by superchatting on youtube.com slash kindoffunnygames. We're talking a lot about...

But yeah, please super chat your predictions or what you're hoping to see at the Nintendo Direct. Both of them coming out next week. Shout out to our Patreon producers over on patreon.com slash kind of funny. Omega Buster, Delaney the Psalm Twining and Michael Pezzavento, our new and very welcomed Patreon producer. But now it's been with what is and forever will be the roper report it's time for some news we have five stories today uh bakers doesn't story number one nintendo confirms two nintendo direct broadcasts for next week this comes from tom phillips at ign nintendo has announced a pair of direct broadcasts for next week including a dedicated legend of zelda 40th anniversary showcase the zelda direct will air on tuesday September 8th at 7 a.m.

8:32Pacific and last 30 minutes. Expect updates on the Zelda franchise, including this year's Ocarina of Time remake and perhaps a first proper look at next year's live-action Legend of Zelda movie. Nintendo's next general direct will then air 24 hours later on Wednesday, September 9th at 7 a.m. Pacific and last 45 minutes. This will then be followed by a 110-minute Nintendo Treehouse stream with further gameplay of titles featured in the direct.

8:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:There's so much to break down here. how excited are you i mean i'm so excited it's so funny my excitement for this compared to when they announced the state of play obviously we're in very different scenarios when we're talking about playstation versus nintendo because we know ocarina time remake is coming and i think for so many of us that's at the top of the list of most anticipated games right now and so i'm already very excited to see when is that game coming out i imagine we're going to see more gameplay all that kind of stuff the fact that they're not just calling it the zelda ocarina direct this is the zelda anniversary direct makes me wonder what else we're going to get from the zelda franchise i'm sure we're going to deep dive into all those possibilities what they they could be but getting that and then also getting a proper nintendo direct i'm so excited to see like that opens up the door for it does is it time for 3d mario is it time for a smash switch two version what uh what other surprise luigi's mansion pick i we're in that early stage of the switch two where anything's possible anything is possible and that's my favorite place to be with uh going into a nintendo direct it also is the best place to leave yourselves completely disappointed yes but i think that's okay because where we're at i don't expect to be disappointed because there are so many questions that are open that need to be answered and Nintendo's gonna answer them like we're gonna we know like Nintendo's been very very good leading into the Switch 2 and specifically during the Switch 2 of letting us constantly be updated in what's happening at least the next four months we know what's going on they're not announcing games that are a year out they're announcing games that are four months out for the most part there are rare exceptions Fire Emblem uh Fortunes Weave being I think the longest shoot your shot game we've seen recently they did the xenoblade genesis yes is that what it's called the next xenoblade yeah um and so i feel like that is their replacement game for the it's coming later type thing so yeah um having said all of that this is very exciting to get the separate uh directs and you bring it up the compared to the state of play it's like the state of play i think they really set the tenor pre going in by saying it's gonna close with final fantasy 7 yeah they let us know we knew that's what was going to happen and best case scenario there was we're going to get the release date and we did yeah cool so that's why i think overall i was satisfied with that because i feel like that was the reason that existed the reason this would exist is zelda but then it's two directs yeah that makes me think is there a reason the other direct exists now to counterpoint my own point you think back to mario's anniversary yeah and they just did one direct that had the first 15 minutes be the mario anniversary part and then they went and it was a little weird because remember they announced yoshi's mysterious book yes and they announced the mario there's no way that's what that game was called right yoshi's mysterious book yoshi and the mysterious you're close i'm gonna look it up yoshi oh no you yoshi and the mysterious book there we go uh but mario galaxy one and two coming to switch they showed the first uh teaser and the reveal of the name of the movie being the mario galaxy movie yeah um and we're gonna get the fucking name i know the movie i know i know that's so sick so yeah so let's just let's start with the zelda right sure we're getting ocarina confirmed yeah right are we gonna i assume i'm not gonna assume actually don't assume anything but i would think I would hope gameplay and date.

12:35So we're also getting the treehouse, right? So 110 minutes on the second day. Yeah. Featuring gameplay of games. Featured in the direct. Yeah. I imagine. I guarantee we're going to get Zelda Ocarina of Time gameplay because I don't think they're going to shift from this year. I think they're sticking to it being this year. I agree. And if that's the case, yeah, like they just don't have much time to be able to do that. And if they're doing the Zelda, this is the time. like this is how nintendo does these things so yes i very much expect to see ocarina of time gameplay do you want to start with ocarina what we yeah let's just start seeing um i mean i'll

13:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:start with release date when does this game come out that's the big question are they afraid of gta 6 i imagine they are how afraid of gta 6 are they that is the bigger question i think as long as you get out at least two weeks before gta 6 you're fine i think this game is going to get slated for the first week or two of november same day no same day fuck it fuck it i will be so pissed off if this comes out the same day of gta 6 i will get mad at nintendo if they slate because i'm not i'm just not gonna do it then i'm not playing ocarina if they put it out the same day as gta 6 and i don't think i'm alone yeah yeah the legend of zelda ocarina time was released on november 21st 1998 in japan followed by north american release november 23rd so not expecting those dates but that would be kind of cool that would be really cool there is gta to keep in mind though i honestly i don't think nintendo gives a fuck i don't think they give a single fuck about gta 6 i think that they should i don't think they do yeah so i think that there is a chance it comes out on november 19th no but i don't think that's the like i don't i think there's a chance i don't think that they would shy away from it i don't think that's what's going to happen though my money is on november 12th i like that yeah and i'm down for that yeah yeah it just that feels November that's fun oh yeah it is yeah oh yeah that might be one of the biggest november's of all time yeah in fact arguably that's the biggest november of all time video game releases with just those two games yeah i mean maybe it was 98 though but either way yeah this is exciting let's talk more about the game we've done this a million times at this point but what are you expecting from ocarina of time remake i don't know man at this point i'm welcoming anything that you got i don't expect it to be a reimagining i think it's going to be very close to what starfox was right it's going to you're going to play it and you're going to go okay this is ocarina of time i think it's going to look way more pretty than the n64 ocarina of time and the 3ds versions of ocarina of time but i think it's going to be pretty much the same game with some added features i think there's going to be neat things added there maybe you get some extra unique story stuff that have to do with side characters maybe you get an extra dungeon if we're getting crazy with it i don't think it's going to be i don't think you're going to boot up the game and it's going to feel like final fantasy 7 remake for example yeah i fully agree and i i nintendo is very inconsistent when it comes to the way it titles bringing back old games remakes reimaginings remasters whatever it is when we look at things like metroid prime paper mario thousand year door star fox like there's no real consistency but the way that they're titling this and the look of the logo that we saw it makes me think the most of paper mario thousand year door so i think it's going to be that type of remake where it's like yeah it is much prettier and very faithful to what the original game was and there is some new stuff but it's not a whole new game and i'm totally okay with that like i think that that's going to be awesome uh for for legend zelda ocarina of time my biggest request that i i am fairly confident they'll do i want it to be a fully orchestrated soundtrack yeah that will go i can see that so far for the ocarina of time uh songs like we were just talking about like they have some all-timer tracks there and i i want that thing recorded at abbey road you want this thing to be fucking nominated for an oscar for yeah yeah and nintendo does that man like they do it they did it for mario galaxy they did it for tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild mario kart i was gonna say we know how hard they are world i think that that is the level of gravitas that ocarina of time deserves i 100 agree now you mentioned paper mario in the thousand year door and obviously when we talk about remakes they call it all they come in all shapes and sizes are you thinking closer to that than a star fox because i feel like for me star fox is like the clear um analog for how do you how you would go about it because when i think of when i think of ocarina this version i think all new assets and i'm sure that's what paper mario is too okay the thing paper mario paper mario thousand year door is a dream game yeah in terms of how it was remade the one exception is it's not 60 frames per second that that is a problem where's the switch to edition y 'all can fix this um but besides that it's like the looks of it it's it is it's how you remember the game looking it's how you want the game to look what a beautiful art style but what if we improve the lighting times a thousand okay yeah like and added to the vibes of it and i think that is what ocarina is going to do and also there was all those rumors of monolith soft um yeah involved in it which we predicted a long time ago and that simply makes sense now you have just went down one of the most important video game holes of your life the x-hole yeah and you know now what a monolith world can look like what's that do for you in terms of Zelda?

18:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I mean, that does so much, right? I mean, that gives you big expectations. I think regarding views and draw distance. You know what I mean? Like, I want to be in Hyrule Field. Obviously, original Ocarina, you're in Hyrule Field and you can see Death Mountain. You can see certain landmarks, by the way, the game's designed. And obviously, are those landmarks JPEGs? Probably. It's been a while since I played Ocarina, but I don't remember them being that high fidelity. I would expect those same landmarks to look amazing from hyrule field when you look around and so i would expect that i think for me i want hyrule field to look and feel alive i want the flora and fauna to pop right i want the grass to look like grass and obviously it has to you're not going to have the fucking jpegs um the flat assets that you would on a n64 i might be wrong in saying this somebody please correct me but i think that literally ocarina of time more often than not ran at like 20 frames per second sure it was such a creamy game yeah but that's what n64 kind of monolith monolith soft it was incredible playing xenoblade on switch 2 and streaming it and being like man they fit all this on the wii and people in chat were like not only did they fit all this on the wii but like the wii version also looked great it's not like the wii version looked ugly as hell it's like no they're just that which game you talking about xenoblade chronicles oh god yeah yeah it's like that's a game that is a technical marvel when you think about what they built it for and how well they're able to make it pop visually and so it makes me excited especially do we how much do we know if they're working on ocarina because i know they're working on legend legend is all the thing right rumored it right now it's just rumored but it's it's you can confirm it but remember nintendo just doesn't confirm what teams are working on anything ever people need to see the credits and go from there because my other question um not to get us away from ocarina but do we get a new zelda announced well let's move on from ocarina i don't think there's anything else to to say right yeah like i mean i guess i guess the big question would be like what's the price on this is this a star fox 40 type remake or is this a 70 game or is this an 80 game i think 70 is a sweet spot i think 70 too yeah yeah the The fact that it's a remake, I know it's a monumental game, but it being a remake, I think kind of makes it tough for that$80 price mark.

20:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:But you know how many hours we were going to get out of this game, right? This is being framed as a big fall release. I think you get it full price. Yeah. So, movie. How confident are you? I think we get a trailer. I think so, too. I think we get the name. I know. And I think the music playing in that trailer, we're gonna recognize it oh yeah and i don't know what song maybe it's just the traditional zelda theme i mean that's awesome yeah orchestrated of course i can't wait man i am so hyped for that moment i really hope that it's a new subtitle i agree i want it to be something that we've never heard before that adds to what the legend of zelda is and i i'm fairly confident that's what's gonna happen you know so i'm gonna ask you what are the chances of certain things right what are the chances the trailer ends and you get colon ocarina of time i think that the chances are 25 25 what are the chances that it is just called the legend of zelda 50 do you think if it's called the legend of zelda that in the trailer we get the vibe of oh this is the original game like he walks into a cave and a guy gives him a sword no if it's just called the legend of zelda i think it'll be an amalgamation of a lot of familiar things from the different games and different eras okay um but yeah i i'm really hopeful that it's just a new subtitle but i think that's a 20 do you think we get but what are the chances you think it's called link to the past at this point i say zero i i think it's going to be a new subtitle the legend of zelda or ocarina of time what would make you not as happy as far as the direction they go with it the the Zelda that they choose to adapt or the way they choose to adapt it is there anything that you'd be like I wouldn't have wanted it that way no that yeah I don't think so I think I it's the weird thing where like I Zelda is so Zelda isn't linear as far as like how you need to try I guess it's linear in the fact that Skyward Sword is kind of the genesis or whatever right but you can kind of jump in anywhere for the most part there are places where it'd be weird to jump in if it was called twilight princess or whatever but yeah you can for me you could do ocarina link to the past just zelda or a new subtitle and any of it kind of makes sense to me i guess i'm excited for any of it i would be most disappointed if it was ocarina of time of my options because i think that that's setting itself up to fail that's setting itself up for comparison they don't need to do that they can just avoid that we've seen it with fallout versus last of us yeah you know what i mean mario galaxy even i think i think if mario galaxy was just the super mario brothers movie too yeah i think it would have been better received interesting you know i can see that uh and that wouldn't solve all that movie's problems but i do think it would have went a decent way um because yeah people were mad that it wasn't great at adapting what makes galaxy so special to the people but um with zelda i think that stuff's especially live action i think a lot more serious um and also i just don't have faith that you can cover ocarina of time in one movie oh interesting you know i mean that makes it more exciting for me you get to do a two movie ocarina well that'd be great but i just i don't think that that's you know yeah they wouldn't do it that way um but oh man we're close yeah i think i think we get a lot of casting um announcements yeah i think they do similar to how they did with mario where they're like all right and you have they talk about i was gonna say chic i forgot that We know who Zelda is.

24:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Actually, I won't get into spoilers. But I wonder, yeah, who else is in it. We saw Impa, right? Oh, yeah, we did. The woman from Severance. Yeah. Which is freaking awesome. This is really cool. Yeah. You're going to get some Zora character. They... Uh-oh. Come on, prepare yourself. Uh-oh. What was the name of the actress that played Gamora? Zoe Saldana? I feel like she'd be a great Zora, but I think that's just because you're a great Zora. She's always, she's blue, she's green. She's keeping up. That's why, yeah, because of Avatar. I'm like, you play Great Dora. I forgot she was an avatar. Yeah, yeah.

24:40And then we just got the Ganondorf casting, right? Yeah. Was that official or was that just the... I think that was official. I think it was official. And that looks great. Yeah, man, I am all the way hyped for this. But then what else? New Zelda. Just announced, now in development.

24:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Now in development. Okay, I'm going to say two New Zeldas. But whatever the big new one is, now in development. it and then we're gonna get a top-down zelda i think i don't know if we're ready for that really this awakening was 2019 yeah echoes of wisdom was when 2020 that was recent four four i think it was four yeah i i that's what if it's a remake quite there what if it's like something we looked at the past remake i don't know that you want to be doing that four swords adventure yeah something weird like that i mean that's awesome but i i don't think you do that so close to the ocarina remake i'm saying anniversary yeah they don't go that hard though you know what i mean i think i wouldn't expect a bunch of game announcements but i mean it is the 40th we ocarina is already announced like if they hadn't announced ocarina and this was the first time we saw it yeah that'd be one thing but like they could announce there's also rumors of a the next major zelda game being the third game to use the same um open air concept as breath of the wild and twilight princess or not tears that have been going around but the rumors aren't implying that it's the third game in that series just yeah that it'd be a new lincoln zelda new hyrule or a different place but it's still the same like a gameplay loop gameplay loop so I can see a now in development type thing being announced there there's always the chance of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker yeah I keep forgetting about that yeah I mean Jeff Grubb said it 10 years ago it's gonna happen and I do believe it will happen I agree there's no reason it wouldn't so yeah but Link Between Worlds get imported I feel like that has to happen at some point that's at some point I don't know that that's now though yeah I don't know it's exciting there's a lot of things that could happen I mean maybe there's like a weird Zelda maker or a Zelda 99 oh that'd be fun you know something free Switch Online thing yeah that would make a lot of sense actually Zelda 40 they're gonna do it I just want to know what that is what does that look like 40 Swords Adventures oh yeah let's move on to the direct regular direct Duskbloods you get a release date yeah january is what i'm gonna say i think we get it in january i like that because i think that game is soon but i think because of how the schedule is netted out like just just don't release it this year i don't think there's any point of releasing it this year january right now is i mean no time is free but for nintendo i feel like they got space there yeah yeah no i like that i i don't have the highest expectations for this direct but i think that's just because there's so much going on right now that like i'm not clamoring i'm not feeling a need for for anything from nintendo like but i guess like off the top of my head i don't think there's anything that i'm super stoked for in the first three months of next year so like there is room what are the so okay i gotta look it up what are the nintendo games announced of course you talked about xenoblade genesis winds and waves but that's oh yeah the end of the year i imagine yeah we're not gonna to get anything about we're not going to hear that here i think next time we hear about that will be pokemon day next february man i did not know nintendo has a whole page this is that's just called releases where you can kind of track everything uh but these are previous yeah oh marty pixel says kirby in the forgotten land too

28:31there's never been yeah you gotta it's been a while i feel like kirby always has games coming out at all times and it's been too long it's been way too long yeah because forgotten land to switch to edition that did have added content was last year which in some ways makes me think like well that team was working on that added content so maybe they're not ready for the next game to be shown but maybe they are but the chat is bringing up two things very important things that are both metroid oh super metroid remake that has been rumored that's supposedly a pixel based remake which i'm interested in what that could be yeah but then also metroid ravenous yeah sequel to dread yeah let's go when do we get it if they announce it did they just say 2027 yeah metroid's the type of game that can come out at any time yeah like um if they are doing both of those i could see like march for super metroid and then like a october for metroid ravenous yeah that'd be very exciting i mean mario i just don't feel it in my bones i feel like right now is not the time yeah it's zelda time right now don't you don't want to talk about zelda ocarina and do a big blowout for that and then talk about a 3d mario i think you if if that's next year just talk about in february i don't even feel like it's next year i feel like that might be a 2028 thing and so in that case maybe hold it off for summer or the next september direct yeah then there's animal crossing i don't think we hear peep my thing about animal crossing is i think they want as many switch twos as possible out there before they put the the game out yeah and i think that i imagine we see a 3d mario before animal crossing i oh i agree yeah i agree with that now mario kart world i is it time i said a couple days ago i am never going to confidently predict that we're going to see Mario Kart World DLC ever.

30:32We will see it. I don't know when. I'll do you one crazier. Mario Kart 8 DLC. What I tell you, when they announced eight player split screen, I think I read that news story five times before I realized that they were talking about Mario Kart 8. I thought that was world. Because why would they update Mario Kart 8 like that? You must have not listened to Games Daily. No, I didn't. this is amazing news i'm very excited about it yeah there was a big chance they would have just never gave a switch to patch to mario card 8 this is just them doing that and then they're like fuck it let's let's have some fun and like do things that they probably have been trying to do forever but the switch one couldn't do yeah it's not like they're adding a ton of stuff it was just weird little tweaks and this eight player split screen thing but now we get 4k now we get like all these updates for the definitive mario card and they also did this for pikmin 3 they're starting to finish off games that are switch one games that could either get a switch to edition with extra content or just a patch right dude please just do it give me something i'm starving out here so it's like well i just don't know what it is the fact that like that wasn't just uh in the last week here's a patch for smash it's now 4k it's now all this stuff it's like new edition baby i want to see second and like i the here's the problem with the smash 2 switch to edition is that my hopes and dreams have gotten too big because what don't say those words subspace emissary say the words subspace emissary like give me like an extra mode because it's not going to just be characters i mean i hope it's care even characters is crazy to me it'll just be just be characters maybe some levels maybe some i just i do not see them making a full ass subspace emissary mode yeah just that's that's a new game that sure they don't need to do that i'm take that dream and throw it out right but yeah smash ultimate switch to edition i you would expect what five new characters i'd love it new stages like you mentioned new spirits i mean new soundtrack of or new songs of course but i feel like there's a one more thing in there the biggest thing about smash is that they need to put out a version of it that has everything like they haven't done the like smash with dlc buy it in stores uh they'll sell so many copies and they know that smash ultimate ultimate that's the problem is what do you even call it i know just you know nintendo does not give a fuck about adding pluses with insane names to their games and making box arts look like shit so do you know the full name for the xenoblade uh port on switch

33:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:two i believe it's called xenoblade chronicles definitive edition nintendo switch two edition love that they have addition in there twice why not in insane stuff good good let's look at some super chats here uh before we move on to other stories uh opponents prime says movie trailer ocarina what else ports collaborations is too early for aggresso zelda theme park ride zelda maker yeah man like come on a lot of those are possible uh jameson says just a friendly reminder fuck donald trump and his administration putting for putting up horrific video game uh ads amen Kyle says the motif of Nintendo's YouTube background for the Zelda direct matches the Zelda edition.

33:42Switch two leaks. It's real Tim. I don't need it. I don't need it. I need it. Yeah. We'll see that the official switch to Zelda edition and pro controller officials. Oh, the switch, like a switch. It leaked already. We've seen it for like a month, but like, that's cool. That's going to be real. Yeah.

34:04The tan dog says my friend sought GTA six coverage. but wasn't happy with how other outlets covered it. I introduced him to y 'all, and he said, you're by far the best, citing your enthusiasm and genuine passion for games. Hell yeah. Thank you so much. And you spreading the word is the coolest thing you could possibly do. Thank you for doing that. Share us with your friends. Mr. Person says, do you think the Zelda Switch that got leaked will bundled with Ocarina like they've been doing, or do you think it's just the Switch like Tears of the Kingdom? That's a good question.

34:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think you got to bundle it. I think there'll be a bundle. I don't think you're saving much money, if any. no it's just you could buy them together yeah uh nostalgic account says the two nintendo direction will be better than the recent state of plays do you think so uh i'd be very upset if they weren't yeah like again it's all about timing of where we're at of like what we need answered and like i think the state of play answered what i expected them to i didn't expect to hear about intergalactic yeah it would have been awesome to but i didn't expect to here it's like nintendo has a fairly open next couple months and they've been filling those out with these directs so if they didn't do that i will be disappointed i expect them to though yeah i think my my expectations are higher for the for the directs than they were for the state of plays but i think that's also just where i'm at with nintendo versus where i'm at with playstation where i'm just i'm more excited for nintendo shit right now currently than i am for playstation shit i think that also probably opens it up for me to be more disappointed if they don't deliver um but that's how it goes that's how it goes yeah um kebab says i predict sam neil is tingle his final role that is interesting i mean the tingle part i don't know about that but like yeah i wonder if we'll see sam neil in this and i wonder who he's gonna play yeah uh caleb says birthday tax my breath the wild vinyl is out for delivery my biggest personal hope for the zelda directs the announcement of a new symphony tour uh dude you're gonna love the vinyl it's very very cool happy birthday and oh my god please please give me another symphony tour yeah i've never done the zelda ones oh really it's just there i've always been traveling or something for both of the symphony of the goddess tours so you're gonna get it i need it um chad says shout out from the gym have y 'all listened to the new uh czar face tom hardy album it's a banger i have only watched the one video and i'm like it shouldn't be this good oh it's really good i've been listening to it it's it's really good i'll also give a shout out beyonce dropped b-day the 20th um anniversary edition which one crazy that it's been 20 years irreplaceable came out 20 years ago to the left to the left was 20 years ago halo no halo was the album after okay that was uh sasha pierce thank god yeah yeah that's more like 18 so yeah um but really great new songs added there's like a run of songs on there i'm like oh come on that's awesome yeah graham says we're expecting our third child in november so as much as i am ready for gta if ocarina drops the same dear close enough i'm choosing that for my sleep insanity in any case we eaten hell yeah graham congrats again can't wait for that love your beautiful family uh joshy frog says ocarina will now have voice acting yeah that is another that's an interesting one i hope it does personally oh i don't need link to talk but voice acting yeah with the amount of uh stuff like i'm a fan of voice acting just pretty much hard stop here yeah and not everyone agrees that's cool i'm different than you then sure i feel that i i mean i would i would like voice acting i think i just i know i do not expect it at all i would pizza bit on it actually yeah you would you pizza bit on it no i don't expect it i just want it okay uh bander sense is over under 1.5 new first party switch one games switch one when you are we talking about games that come out cross yeah well yeah probably come a dachi life right i'm a dachi life things like that yeah yeah i think we'll get one i think we'll get one yeah i think we get i think we get zero actually i'm gonna say zero yeah uh hold on where evc says there was vo in the trailer it was just narration but like that that i want that that was awesome that added so much boom to it yeah i just get scared i think because i think nintendo is scared about changing too much because ocarina is such a sacred work of art and i think if you don't nail the voice acting then but i mean here's the thing yeah again i people can disagree they nailed it in tears the kingdom and breath of the wild sure yeah vanendorf right what's funny is i forgot that game had voice acting i thought it was good yeah you know and it added to it all so we would say cut scene voice acting we're not talking about like you're talking just regular dialogue when you like just talk i don't know that yeah i don't think every single line of dialogue needs to be read but i do think there's you know what okay i could see it i could see cut scene dialogue um

41:55Ultimate gets you 15 hours. Premium gets you 10 hours. Essential gets you 5 hours. Once subscribers use their included hours, they can buy additional cloud playtime through the Xbox Store. Currently, Game Pass subscribers can stream without these monthly hour limits. The change means those who use cloud gaming most via Game Pass will end up having to pay more, although Microsoft said this impacts 4 % of Game Pass subscribers. Also in November, Microsoft said that players will be able to buy cloud playtime hours through the Xbox Store and stream eligible games they own on their own supported devices without subscribing to Game Pass.

42:27In a blog post, they said it was making the changes because the cost of providing cloud gaming has grown as more people use it and play for longer. The monthly limits, Microsoft continued, will mean it can invest in reliability and performance. I'll fucking believe it when I see it. But it said it understood that for some players, the practical result is a higher cost. Expect more information on pricing, purchasing additional hours, eligible games, market availability, and how players can check the remaining time in November. Microsoft also said it'll keep a close eye on feedback and may tweak the offering before the changes come in.

42:57Oh, man, this sucks. This world sucks. This is the future. There's no avoiding it. And I hate that. I'll be honest. This is a new story that is so I'm so not the target audience for not because the Xbox thing, but mainly because the cloud gaming thing. We talk about cloud gaming all the time. And when we talk about video game business, I understand the shift that all these companies are making toward cloud because hardware is getting more and more expensive. You've kind of reached the amount of people already as well that would buy a console. And so they're trying to reach people now that just have TVs, phones, any sort of screen.

43:33We want to speak to those people. So I understand why they're going after cloud streaming that way. i don't know from the consumer side people that are super into cloud gaming like that and like i could be just way off in terms of the people that i'm that are around me and my own personal experience i mean i am yeah i'm super into it oh you personally oh yeah okay but like as a uh supplemental thing mainly like okay i love being able to continue playing my games on my upstairs tv when i don't have the xbox up there you know it's like just like having that luxury i i I use it all the time and like in a bunch of different ways.

44:09And I love the portal. I love streaming to my, my steam deck. Like there's just a lot of use cases that in a supplemental fashion, make things great. On top of that, I'm a huge evangelist of Nvidia GeForce now where playing a lot of games on the steam deck at max settings and stuff is amazing. That also has a time limit. And that also is very unfortunate. But for Xbox to be doing this now, it's like this I think is super rough for them because their cloud streaming service is not up to snuff in my opinion and i think is easily outclassed by multiple other cloud services it does have a bunch of pros including having the ecosystem of play anywhere and having the game pass catalog and just the the library that it has and so many people are now able to play even more games and adding their disc to digital then you get to stream it whatever it's like there's just like a lot of good stuff going but like man the cost going up and having limits like this it's just not good it's not like good news right like this is i think just the beginning you saying like oh you're not that into this and it doesn't affect you whatever makes sense but it's this type of decision making that inevitably is going to affect you eventually when all this really is is hey they're asking more for less oh for sure and i think that's the thing that sucks about it right i'm not i'm not looking at this and going like ignoring or anything or whatever but it's more so the i want to know how many people are affected directly in the way of like what percentage of players are doing the cloud gaming thing because i know we talk about it all the time i feel like i don't see it in action all the time but hearing they use it is actually good for me understanding that because i think that does make sense of the use case of oh i have two tvs i'm going to go to this room play more i think i just think about the fact that because of how unique our jobs are i play games at work all the time but most people don't play games at work And so it's like, where would you play games?

46:00But even for me, like I play games at work and you're, you're making a very good point. Yeah. Even for me, I do stream often from my desk. Sure. Stuff that I have at home. But I'm like, you know, I, I like my AY and Thor. That's my pocket. Cause guess what? If I go on the BART, I don't have, I don't need a connection. I'm just playing games. And I mean, if I fly, if I do whatever, the places that I would play games away from home, I can't do my, I can't play my PlayStation portal there. That's why it's collecting dust. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. how often are people traveling to where they're at a hotel playing the cloud gaming yeah and i'm talking about like i'm asking everybody for their very specific cases exactly which i'm sure people have them but it's hard for me to understand like the amount of people that this affects i i mean we know that the playstation portal sold surprisingly well and i think that that really i think it's the bulk of their audience i would be surprised to find out is not parents that's what it is it's like i'm sneaking into gaming here and there we can't use the tv right now for whatever reason like it's that type of situation um which is very common as gaming starts getting old as older and older and there are older more older people playing games than ever before yeah right but should we start should we expect this from other cloud stream i guess you said our nvidia already does it already do it yeah does playstation do this no but they will they probably will yeah so i mean that's just the future right like y 'all don't want to hear this and i just i get it but cloud gaming is the future and with that we're seeing the stepstones be put down right now to make it viable for business for people and it's like yeah that's it sucks there's gonna be a lot of bullshit that comes with that yeah i kind of hope it's not the future i don't i actually don't believe in it being the future i mean i think they're gonna try and make it the future because it makes business sense for the reasons i mentioned earlier i just don't think people like it It doesn't matter.

47:47Yeah. That's not the choice to be had. Think about music. It's streaming. Yeah, but music's not video games. Like streaming music actually does provide more utility for me because I can. I know. Yeah. I'm saying when we look at the history of music and how music's been distributed, then you look at the history of video games. Video games are just behind. It will get there. Music, movies, video games. Can you imagine streaming TV? Can you imagine streaming movies? That's crazy. Yeah, but those things don't require reaction time. You know what I mean? like those things aren't directly it's getting better and better and also they don't give a fuck i'm not sure i'm not saying like like oh man this is optimal i'm just saying it's like oh yeah it's it's happening like and again when netflix was renting dvds it felt crazy to imagine that you could stream tvs tv shows movies and now it's like yeah that's now physical discs are dying sure yeah so like it fucking sucks but we're there let's get to story number three naughty dog is not done with the last of us the studio is not involved with hbo shows third season this comes from ryan mccaffrey at ign naughty dog boss neil druckman says that neither he nor the studio are involved with the third season of the hbo adaptation of the beloved video game but says the developer isn't done with the franchise yet speaking to washington post druckman said i wasn't involved in shaping this season's creative direction and naughty dog did not have a creative role in the direction of the season so i can't personally speak to how production's progressing He then pretty clearly suggested that Naughty Dog will take on future projects in The Last of Us universe, though whether that's a proper The Last of Us Part 3, a resurrection of the cancelled Last of Us Online, or something else remains to be seen.

49:22It's important for us to note that as the creator of the games, Naughty Dog's still the steward of this IP, and even though this might be the end of this adaptation, he added, referring to HBO's third season, we're not done with The Last of Us. There's a couple projects in the works that, when the time is right, I'm very excited to talk about. hell yeah i can't wait to play the next last was game when i am 45 years old and i have grandchildren yeah i want to have grandchildren but like man it wasn't 45 but man like i'm i'm excited that they hold last of us is something that they continue to see a vision for and they want to make more games in the future i'm down for another last of us game actually am i down for another i guess i am down for i like last of us i think i was thinking about last was two yesterday um because like i did a stream where i i was um ranking the ign 10 out of 10s um and like tiering them and i got the last was two and i have like such a conflicted feeling about that game because i think that game is a technical masterpiece as far as what they're able to do um with the tech of it with the gameplay of it and then also just the fidelity of it that is one of the best looking video games to this day for something came out in 2020 um but it's a game that also exhausted me when i think about the story and when i think about like the subject matter and the cycle of violence and how deeply it dove into that i hope when they revisit last of us or when they return to last of us that i don't know i don't know what i hope for i i hope they continue to have a message that they stand on and i hope they continue to deliver something that they're like yo we believe in this we want to do it i also hope that it resonates with me more because last was two story didn't all the way resonate with me and i know a lot of people feel similarly in a range of ways some of those people toxic but you get what i mean um i'm very curious to see how they tackle the next one i think you uh said that very very well where i'm on the opposite side of you where i really love last of us two yeah but i am with you that i don't need more of that like i I like that Last of Us 1 was a very complete vision with themes and ideas.
