Nintendo Indie Showcase Predictions: Hades 2, Silksong?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 08.05.25

35:04I don't think you actually, you have nostalgic glasses, but in a way that I did too until I replayed it. And then I was like, you know what? I was defending something that really ain't good. Put me to the test.

35:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Get me in a room with a fucking Wiimote. I'm going to hold it sideways. Some boring ass background. Some generic ass boxes everywhere. A sticker system that you don't want to use. And same as hanging out with Pikachu and them being friends. Yeah. Amazing. You know, like, that's that good shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Lucas being a coward. The cutscenes are fantastic. The limited boss fights are awesome. Oh, yeah. But why was there like four of them? There should have been so many more. Remember, spoilers for the ending of Subspace Emissary. Remember when Taboo shows up? You're like, who the fuck is that?

35:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Who could beat it? Who could beat it? And then Sonic the fucking hedgehog. Some of the cutscenes in that are just the greatest things of all time. I mean, Donkey and Diddy doing the fucking cross pistols with the coconut guns with Rayquaza in the background. Yeah. amazing obviously peach freaking like slowly going down his explosions are happening and all around her she has the parasol and she's all like teehee i'm fucking peach it's like hell yeah you are yeah when we get all of the good guy ships going up against the bad guy ships and the main theme kicks in yeah what are we talking about the kirby ship comes through and just fucking slices through the big falcon freaking going captain falcon jumping out killing all the pikmin come on come on man one of the greatest stories ever told in video games one of the greatest stories ever told in video games oh man it's that and metal your solid three in that order no you're right they're equal very excited about this kirby stuff uh i think this is gonna get i think this is the type of game that word of mouth hey uh is gonna do a lot of benefits and i think a lot of people are gonna pick it up this time because they're gonna be like oh i heard people talk about this people like me yeah uh over the last couple years so i i'm I'm excited for it.

36:53I'm excited to play more of it. And dude, it's the end of this year or end of this month. Yeah. We'll talk about more about it on games cast. I'm sure.

36:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I appreciate people in chat as they're describing the actual events of subspace emissary. Lucid dream was like, this has to be a bit Julian Ramirez is like, is this real? Y 'all got to play subspace emissary. Story number three, IGN lays off eight staff members and 12 % of its union. Same numbers there. This comes from Riley McLeod at aftermath. Following layoffs at parent companies, if Davis last week, The IGN Creators Guild has announced eight layoffs at IGN today, comprising 12 % of the site's bargaining unit. Today's cuts are the latest in what's become a regular occurrence at the company and come despite what the union calls, quote, several quarters in a row of year-over-year revenue increases.

37:37Several affected IGN staffers have announced their layoffs on social media, including senior features editor Matt Kim. Crazy. A name that I guarantee you have heard before if you've watched this show for the last couple years. Matt Kim headed up news at IGN for a long time and did such great work.

37:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. Somebody who I like in my brain is synonymous with IGN, right? It's one of those names that's been there for so long and that I've read. Like I've read his work for so long. Crazy. Video editor, Chelsea Reed Miller, entertainment reviews editor, Eric Adams, and gaming editorial events manager, Rob Manuel. In a statement, the IGN Creators Guild noted that the move comes not just after recent layoffs that affected sites like CNET, Mashable, and Lifehacker, but just months after our multi-billion dollar parent company Ziff Davis instituted a company-wide buyout that shrunk our unit numbers with the express intent of avoiding future layoffs.

38:31And it comes just a little over one year after three of our members were laid off almost immediately after our union went public. The union cited a Ziff Davis mandate to cut costs as the reasoning behind the layoffs, despite the fact that IGN Entertainment has had a tremendously successful year thus far with events like San Diego Comic-Con and Summer Game Fest related coverage. Every single person impacted today was involved in and critical to the success of those events, the union wrote.

38:57Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yeah i know when when when we talk about these stories the first reactions that people including myself tend to have are like wait that's crazy aren't you coming off of like a successful thing right didn't you just release a successful game for ig and i am like man i i ig and live looked like it was way better this year than it was last year y 'all just got done doing comic-con and had crazy like good coverage of comic-con and all this stuff right and then for this to happen right after i know those things aren't associated at least like in the way that you would think or in the way they make that they make these decisions but it's still at the very end of it is like damn well what the fuck like the people that are being laid off here are the people that i know are doing good work right like i've been reading and seeing matt kim's work for years and years now i mean gaming editorial events manager yeah that's ign live right which is part and the summer of gaming that IGN does for surrounding summer game fest and all that.

39:51And plus summer game fest and play days and all that stuff coverage, right? That all counts as editorial gaming, editorial events, right? This sucks. It sucks that this continues to happen. It sucks that names like Matt Kim aren't safe, right? It sucks that any names, even the ones we don't know, aren't safe. But it really does feel like just lawless land. And this comes down to not IGN, but Ziff Davis. And then the pressures that Davis puts on IGN and then the decisions IGN makes to deal with it and comes down to this really shitty position where you don't see this getting better because if Davis continues to acquire similar brands and like last year got that entire network, right?

40:31It was a gamers network. Yes. I think it was. And that results in redundancies. That results in needing to shift things around because we talk about this all the time with the acquisitions. When you acquire something for three-fourths or not even, usually it's one-fourth of the things you're actually buying, you still need to deal with the other three-fourths, right? And to them, it's easier to deal with it by just kind of letting it die. And when the responsibilities for now multiple gaming brands falls on the back of IGN, the successful numbers and all that aren't enough because they need to be making X amount more to be able to make up for the purchasing of all these other establishments and media giants or even small media websites and stuff.

41:18like the responsibility is there to figure out what to do with all them and i feel like that is

41:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:being horribly mismanaged if at the very least yeah it's unfortunate it's in the ongoing thing of like man games media feels like it's been like slowly dying doesn't even feel accurate anymore like dead feels more like the word to use um but ign i think has been one of the last bastions of all right well this is a place that at the very least is so big that it feels like hey like if you want to write for video right in video games media if you want to cover video games like ign is kind of one of the only spots left it's that and then like smaller spots like vgc or now this week in video games right or they're still say polygon polygon had huge layoffs that happened recently right kotaku's been having huge layoffs um yeah it's unfortunate like it makes me very sad um but best wishes to like the people that got laid off here like very talented people so i would hope they would get scooped up and find work and do all the stuff they won't yeah i mean that's the thing is they simply won't and i that fucking sucks like where's that came gonna go that that's just like such a sad a horrible place to be it's just like you know for years we would whenever people get laid off have them come on games daily and like talk and like at this point it's like what are we doing like yeah so who are we talking to there's like not anywhere left because they're getting acquired by Zip Davis and then being brought out back put down like so many of these sides are being put down replaced by AI entirely at least IGN is fighting back against the AI for now until they lose that fight but like IGN specifically right now are very very very anti AI from a writer's perspective in the company but even Zip Davis is suing open AI over AI now that's just them defending themselves that's them upset that their shit's getting stolen yeah until they get paid for it and then they'll be okay with it yeah yeah um and again that really sucks because ign has no say in that as if davis gets the say the moments if davis says this is what it is i just has to deal with it and they can be like we're not going to deal with it then guess what they all get laid off yeah that's what's happening here god sucks man story number four high-end indie publisher lyrical games launched with former private division execs high-end indie is in quotes there this comes from edmund tran at this week in video games um which is skill ups thing yes very very very trying to work them more into the the show love that and shout out to edmund as well yeah independent film production company lyrical media how to blow up a pipeline in elevation has announced the formation of lyrical games a new publishing label focused on high-end indie games lyrical games says it has three titles already in development one of which is the next title from hard space shipbreaker developer blackbird um interact interactive uh the new label is headed up by blake rochkind previously head of business development at take two's now defunct independent label private division rochkind is joined by a staff comprising individuals formerly of publishing houses like devolver digital humble games and microsoft former head of production at private division roger kurtz also joins the company the initiative is backed by lyrical media founder and ceo alexander black who said in a provided statement that quote we want to empower fiercely passionate game creators by bridging the gap between their art and the players who stand to be moved by it rochkin also shared the company's ethos in a provided statement saying that in the high-end indie or triple i space we believe we can offer among the best if not the best deal terms available right now we're not just looking for developers but for partners who want a meaningful say in all the ways their game will be shown to the world.

44:55Developers we work with will always have ownership of their IP, and our partnerships will always value collaboration and transparency above all else. In today's landscape, there's never been more noise, and not every developer necessarily needs a publisher. We beat Lyrical Games to be the kind of publisher they want to work with.

45:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:That's awesome. They're saying all the right things here. They're saying all the right things, and we're seeing a lot of different publishers kind of take this mentality in the space, and we're seeing a lot of, especially in the indie scene, as I was saying earlier in the stories, it's like indie games have matured to the point that indie games means mean something it's not just like oh there's not gigantic money behind it there could be gigantic money behind it there could be no money behind it but it's more of a state of mind than it is any actual definition as we've seen yeah year after year as these games are being talked about to that point right like one of the first things they mentioned here is that yeah they're poisoning themselves as like a triple a indie or triple i or like high-end indie publishing here i think that speaks volumes to one way you can expect them obviously but then also yeah how varied and how wide of a spectrum indie video games are um and how you kind of have to cater if you're a publisher cater to the kind of indie game that you want to support or the kind of indie game that you have the specialty for because like a i'm trying to think of an example of like a small ass indie game right a uh the game we played yesterday co-op kaiju horror cooking that is way different than a expedition 33 i mean that's way different than a blueprints that's way different from a ninja guy and rage bound there are so many different types of games being made out there and yeah like when we talk about indie you're talking about like i don't know maybe like 90 of video games being made you're talking about most video games being made nowadays coming from the the indie space and so yeah i love seeing more of these companies pop up i love the names that are behind this right like you're talking about um the former uh head of production at private division uh robert roger kurtz joining the company but then yeah you had uh names from devolver and humble um and yet like you gotta have people who know what the fuck they're doing doing things like this and having a vision for all right we're seeing a gap being made here in the space how do we come through and do what they're talking about in this last quote here where they talk about we believe we we believe we can offer among the best if not the best deal terms available right now i hope that's true and i hope they put their money where their mouth is and they continue to do that year over year right i hope this isn't a thing where they will do that start and then realize halfway through that they're like oh actually we're going to change this shit i mean this is lofty right it's very like you said these they're saying all the right things but you know putting this to practice it's like that's that is it's very tough unless you have the right teams and ip and uh whether it's your own or licensed like i look at dot emu and how great of a job they've done to finding themselves as a publishing company right where It's like, you know, the type of project that they're going to publish.

47:44And that type of project is quality and genres that we know are going to hit, that we know have a certain sellability factor to them inherently, where it's like, you're not really concerned or fearful for these games performing. We kind of know that, oh, I trust these teams. There's the IP attached to them that's going to work. And they're not taking on too many of them for now. We'll see how long that can last. But like there are, I think, a good handful of examples of that. We talk about Thunderfall all the time of like. These different publishing groups that are able to have different. Goals than the publishing groups of your.

48:25Yeah. Right. And specifically focusing more on the indie side and trying to find the right ways to cut through all the noise because there is more noise than ever. And guess what? There's only going to be more like we there will never come a year that there are less video games made than the year before for the rest of time.

48:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i think yeah yeah i think you know the one of the original examples of what we're talking about i think is devolver digital as well right of like hey we they found a lane they have a category of indie game that they focus in on and also because they have a specific eye for what they deem is a devolver digital game there's now a fan association for oh devolver digital's announcing game oh i'm i gotta at least check out the trailer and see what it is right or devolver digital's having a showcase i'm gonna watch it because there's gonna be a game that appeals to me because it's gonna be you know fast-paced or edgy or you know have a crazy soundtrack or this or that right like i'm somebody who's a big devolver digital fan when it comes to the games that uh that they put out and they did that from like i mean they're the early they're the og they did that from early on yeah it's like you it you know when we talk about like the the rise of indie games in popularity you got to credit xbox live arcade i feel like that xbox and their summer of gaming and everything that they did i truly think was what put indie games on a path towards domination where we're at now but it was devolver digital that was like all right cool we got it from here you know and kind of like set the tone for what is possible when it comes to uh publishing indie games and it's just cool to see others kind of taking um either the the baton and running with it or just taking inspiration to do their own thing in a different way right because i feel like in opposition to the big triple a space indie games and indie teams need to be handled very differently because they don't have the same level of resources that others do in terms of marketing teams and pr teams and like just all the teams necessary for a game no matter how good to get noticed by people like it doesn't just happen like the word of mouth isn't just like one person plays a game and slowly that word spreads it is a concerted effort to get the game in the hands of the right people oh yeah to talk about it people that people trust and then it just kind of like can snowball from there but like that is a uphill battle as we've seen a million times 1000 if um if tomorrow you're giving the money to start your own indie label what's like what's the tim getty's category of indie game that you focus in on to publish i mean dot ema's really just doing my shit right it's just like like just double that it's the perfect combination of you take the ip you take the genre and you take the team and you just make sure that all three of those are like that makes sense and then you just freaking go right like i love that they just make video games because uh like old school video games because not everyone does that and even retro inspired games i think oftentimes they're doing too much like they're they're they're trying to be like these big modern things it's like sometimes just do what we used to do with modern tech yeah you know i love that yeah what about you i don't know i didn't think about it um you of all trades games you know uh i'll not probably do like a probably like a puzzle situation right like i would probably do like a lot of portal inspired like hey we want to make games that are fucking weird where my the lane would be a blueprints or a uh like a dead take actually that we just played earlier this uh last week um games that are like trippy weird uh different but have more of a focus on like fucking like puzzle solving and trying to put together a weird ass narrative that's going to either make you cry or make you like be fearful about the the like about you know factors of humanity right like something that kind of that kind of changes you a little bit that would be the thing either that or i'd go full in on the action games but if i have if i had to pick a lane i think the puzzle thing would be i'd be more equipped for it let's get to story number five power rangers return in live action trailer for next fortnight season this comes from tom phillips at ign uh the mighty morphin power ranger specifically takes center stage in fortnight's next season a new trailer with live action throwback vibes has revealed shock and awesome the game's next major season launches this week on August 7th and sees Fortnite Battle Royale Island overtaken by bugs.

Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Fortnite continues to just do it all. They have the a version of the Power Rangers theme song in here. I appreciate that.

Bear can bring up this tweet this is important. This is important. There he is. There he is. Blue laces. I appreciate that.

Yeah. a lot and you know what i'm very thankful you know what i had i i had a thing a few weeks ago where like i was getting kind of annoyed with like the amount of sonic shit i started getting in my in my inbox slash ads and what i realized what it was is like there's a small number of people that are very rude about it they're really that are like mean about like other people here's your fucking slop you nasty boy like that yeah being like oh you fucking sonic loser look you fucking love this shit don't you and i'm like leave me the fuck alone so i think i started to bundle in a lot of like the the acts i would get but then like and i also think that whatever the thing was i just didn't give a fuck about um this though this is the good shit this is the good shit would you get these i'm just not a tim's guy like definitively like i i can't imagine putting tim's on my feet it's just not my shit yeah i'm also not a tim's person i honestly some East Coast shit and I just don't have East Coast in me at all.

57:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:The reality of it is I wouldn't get, thank you Barry, I wouldn't get most Sonic merch. I do appreciate that for, I was going to say for some reason, we know the reason, but like Sonic merch just gets made every day. Like every day there's a new Sonic thing announced. Which is great. And I appreciate it. For the culture. For the culture, yeah. Because it means that kids forever are going to have Sonic in their lives. Yes. Sonic has permeated popular culture. We did it, Bless. We won. Could you imagine an eight-year-old walking outside with Tim's on? With Sonic the Hedgehog Tim's on? I can't. Do kids wear Tim's?

58:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. In New York. I associate Tim's with New York adults. Yeah, but New York adults then have kids, and then they dress them like that. Yeah. Alright, fair enough. That's just how it goes. It's New York adults and then a man child on the West Coast. But it was. Who was originally from, you know, the middle of the country, but is now living on the West Coast. And his name is Snowbike Mike. He looks great, though. Does he buy these? What do you mean used to be from the middle of the country? What state is he from? Colorado. Colorado, the middle of the country? In spirit. Hold on, I'm looking up a USA map.

58:47I don't think it's geographically. It's not directly centered in the middle of the country, but it's like...

58:52Blessing Adeoye Jr.:When we say middle of the country... Hold on. Okay, you know what? Never mind, it's close enough. Yeah, fuck you. It's close enough. My bad. New Xbox Game Pass games have been announced. We have Rain World coming August 5th. Rain World's kind of cool. I'm a little slug boy. August 7th, you got Assassin's Creed Mirage.

59:26The soundtrack of Pilotwings, Pilotwings 64, and Pilotwings Resort is now available on Nintendo Music. Bangers. Fucking let's go. Bangers. Put Donkey Kong Bonanza somewhere, but more importantly, let me buy Mario Kart World's soundtrack. Oh my God, please. Just give me some hint that that's actually going to happen. Please. I don't care what I need to do. If I need to subscribe to some Japanese obscure magazine for like three years and then send in a freaking postcard, I'll do it. I just want to own Mario Kart World soundtrack. I want to be able to choose a song for Mario Kart World that I want to listen to and be able to listen to it like a jukebox.

1:00:02Can you imagine that, bless? And I know you might just be like, Tim, just go to YouTube. Well, guess what? Guess what, motherfuckers? Not a single person on YouTube, not a single person has every single song without just random background sounds and without random fucking vroom vrooms of the carts going by. Why? Because they have to rip it from the game. they have to rip it from people playing the game and it's impossible to turn off these fucking npc

1:00:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:carts going by going all vroom vroom it's almost like nintendo went out of their way to make sure there was no pure soundtrack we're gonna create the greatest video game soundtrack ever fucking concocted and we're just gonna make it incredibly hard oh oh do you want to slide down the sound effect sound so you can hear the music more fuck you get fucked it really is incredible like nintendo sometimes really they really are just an incredible company for yeah the lengths they will go to not let users have a good user experience with certain things. And they'll make the greatest game of all time and go, play it our way, bitch.

1:00:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Play it our way, you stinky little fox. Blessing, you asked the question earlier of what games get ad spots on TV. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tactical Takedown. No way. We think of that as a smaller indie game that's still being a Nickelodeon IP. I was at the bar a month ago when it was only on Steam, I think. and it showed up and I was hanging out with a dude that I was randomly playing trivia with that night at the bar and I was like, I know the guy who made that game and he was like, cool man I love that, I love everything about that, hell yeah, that game you're having commercials very cool, Donkey Kong also got a lot of commercials I saw people bring it in the chat and that is true I've been seeing, every time I watch the movie which is very very often, I go to the theater a lot, watch Naked Gun, it's fucking hilarious, Donkey Kong commercial plays before and Mario Kart world plays before and i'm like good for you nintendo i feel like that's i hear scuttle a lot of people talking every time those commercials play like oh oh switch 2 oh switch 2 oh new mario kart i wish i could listen to the soundtrack hurdling will be available day one on game pass on august 21st sick that's it that's it we news uh bandar send says we plays has the rip soundtrack still up i want it clear i am aware of every single ripped soundtrack from mario kart world at this point yeah i google this shit incessantly i have multiple versions downloaded allegedly i don't want to admit to that fully yeah but i want to let you know can we find a version that has the yoshi's island main theme that doesn't sound compressed as all fuck no you can't you can't one day what state do you think is between nevada and colorado don't do this to me because if you want to if you want to know why i didn't realize colorado is indeed in the middle of the country i just forgot utah exists oh i nailed it you nailed it you nailed it yeah just forgot utah existed i was like oh colorado's two states you can't forget the mormon state you're right my bad utah secret lives my bad uh nate the great says super chats in birthday tax just turned 30 couldn't think of a better way to start the morning much love from colorado happy birthday nate happy birthday nate my bad we appreciate you have fun in the middle country uh alan martinez says birthday tax happy birthday alan uh thank you for everything i love meeting you guys loved meeting you guys at the parade blessing i called your black hair and video games video you're illmatic oh yeah i remember you thank you so much for that i appreciate it alan's the freaking homie shout out alan also bless uh-huh remember when i went to go see nos perform illmatic with the live symphony yes coming to san francisco when next month okay I gotta look into that we're doing the same thing?

1:03:42same thing we got Lepercut saying I haven't played a Kirby game since N64 because it was the babiest of baby games is this really like DK Bonanza level? no it's not DK Bonanza level but it is not a baby baby game this is if that is your issue holding you back from Kirby games play this one because the other ones yes they are that this is not that this is way closer to a Mario 3D World experience than it is Kirby Star Allies or literally any other Kirby game.

1:04:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:This is unequivocally better than Kirby and the Crystal Shards or whatever it was called on 64. It's a baby game, but the last couple hours are worth it. And it's not a baby game. It ain't no baby game. What's another baby game, Barrett, that you would say is equal to Kirby and the Forgotten Land?

1:04:35Blessing Adeoye Jr.:He just drinks his water. Here's my thing. because like what Kongsuit is a baby game is it a game that a baby could play because I think a baby could play Kirby but it's the same thing where like no no I played Kirby with a five year old while I was in Denver like I feel like they ain't beating this game I feel like Ben is they ain't beating the bosses and Ben's not beating this game Ben's beating the fuck out of this game no I'm gonna text Greg to have Ben play this game that's the thing it's like yo we beat games when we were 5-2 that doesn't make them baby games well that's that's the point I'm getting to like because this for me this is the same vein where we're talking about Pokemon like the Pokemon direct thing and one of the conversations I had with Greg was Greg mentioning like well like aren't these for kids or whatever and I'm like sure but like I think they're also for everybody I think Kirby in the Forgotten Land is for everybody but I also think it's for kids but I feel like there has to be levels to this I feel like some of the other Kirby games are baby games the modern Yoshi games those are baby games Yoshi's Island not a baby game this is way closer to Yoshi's Island than it is to Yoshi's New Island Not fucking New Island.

1:05:37Yoshi's Crafted World. Yoshi's Woolly World. Yoshi's fucking Baby Adventures.

1:05:42Blessing Adeoye Jr.:But like an adult, can an adult play Woolly World and have a good time? Not for the same reasons that they could have playing Kirby in the Forgotten Land. They can enjoy the vibes and enjoy the cuteness of it all. But for you it's like the game design, the gameplay. Okay, I'll accept that answer. Yeah. We have Helios Last Hero saying, Tim and Blessed, have you ever played UN Squadron Area 88 in Japan on the Super Nintendo Banger soundtrack. I have not, but I am familiar with the soundtrack because people talk about it all the time. I'm not familiar with this. Do I gotta check out the soundtrack?

1:06:14Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's very cool. UN Squadron Area 88. It's just that badass Super Nintendo style of like hey, let's remake a guitar but with SNES sound font. It just sounds sick as shit. Making my next type stuff. I've been listening to a lot of Stickerbush Symphony in the last couple weeks. A lot. I wonder why. It's so good. It's a crazy song to be on the SNES. Oh yeah. David Wise was out of his mind. Out of his goddamn mind. Manny Bagel Boy Sanchez. My son's playing Sonic Frontier, so he too will be a future Sonic sicko and bladed birthday tax for him from this Sunday. Can't believe he's three now. Happy birthday to your son.

1:06:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I gave my nephew, when I gave my nephew a Switch for his birthday, I gave with that Sonic Forces and new Super Mario Brothers U, like the remaster thing. And I was doing that expecting him to become a Sonic Sicko. I mean, that kid loves Mario now. He loves Mario. Wow. I should have kept that Mario away from him. I should have just gave him the Sonic game. You know what I mean, Tim? He knows what I mean. I know exactly what you mean, dude. Joshy G says, my dumbass seven-year-old self got stuck in Rock Tunnel when Pokemon Red came out. Didn't use Flash. A lot of us. Okay, first of all, you're a weakling.

1:07:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You can get through that Rock Tunnel without Flash. come on it just requires dedication and a lot of light because as a kid did i go into the rock tunnel just thinking i had to navigate it yes and i did it i was fucking seven eight years old and i beat the rock tunnel without flash fucking grow up that's what i say grow up uh let's go to you're wrong see what happened here um i don't know if this was sent to you wrong but someone in the chat to say that Yoshi's Island is literally a baby game.
