Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen Coming to Switch! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.26

9:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yeah I guess someone got the I feel like it was that makes more sense than maybe the switch putting it up at 10 38 on a random Thursday night yeah probably

10:05Greg Miller:I digress the press release continues originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 as remakes of the 1996 Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green games Pokemon Fire Red version and Pokemon Leaf Green versions will be available as download exclusive titles and playable on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 systems. Trainers can also watch a new video showcasing the games on the official Pokemon YouTube channel. Kev, I should have put that link in there for you. Would you mind grabbing it? It's a nice little trailer. It's a nice little callback. We can just play in the background. We don't need to look at it.

10:38Greg Miller:Jerica. I have so much to say as a new Pokemon fan and now the only Pokemon fan. It kind of funny of my excitement for this, but then of

10:47Fran Mirabella:course, there's the internet anger understandably to some regard as of course some people are like it should be$20 for both not

10:55Greg Miller:$20 a piece some people are like yo you have a GBA NSO classics collection why wouldn't you just put them in there there's so much going on here do you want to start with the good stuff or do you want me even to go further on because Tom Phillips at IGN has Nintendo putting it up and putting up an FAQ trying to answer some of these questions let's push shit let's go as far as we can we go to ign.com where tom phillips writes what trailer did you want up uh the one announcing this fire red leaf uh green uh from nintendo it should be on the pokemon page brand new thank you nintendo has released a lengthy q a article discussing its upcoming switch re-releases of pokemon fire red and leaf green and addresses its decision to launch them separately rather than as part of the nintendo switch online service like numerous other gameboy advanced titles in response to the question quote why are you handling these classic games differently end quote nintendo writes in celebration of 30 years of pokemon we thought it would be fun to return to the ultimate versions of the original pokemon adventures in the kanto region kanto region with these special releases end quote and in response to the question will these games also be coming to the game boy advanced nintendo classics collection nintendo replies these games are being offered as standalone software and are not planned to release as part of the Game Boy Advance Nintendo Classics collection End quote Neither of these answers seem to address the question Of why the games would not also be part of Switch Online's GBA collection Parentheses as a nice way for Subscribers to access them at no extra Cost or why the games are priced at $20 each a cost that has raised Many fans eyebrows Indeed the whole Q &A reads as a rather Defensive list of answers to questions Nintendo has anticipated from fans Who naturally raise in response to decision Making here quote If these titles are meant to celebrate 30 years of Pokemon, why aren't you releasing the original Pokemon blue version and Pokemon red versions of the game that launched 30 years ago?

12:54Greg Miller:Reads another preempted question quote. We thought users will appreciate the ultimate versions of those original adventures, which add various features and upgrades to the contents of Pokemon red version and Pokemon blue version comes to reply. That's fair enough. This is Tom again at IGN. That's fair enough. But then having to open the red and blue can of worms, Nintendo goes on to preempt another popular question quote, will you add the original Pokemon red version and blue version or other Pokemon games to the Nintendo classics collection available with Nintendo switch online? It's a question.

13:25Greg Miller:Nintendo fans have asked since the game boy titles were announced for Nintendo switch online years ago. In response, Nintendo lists a selection of Pokemon spinoff games, which are already available via the service. And then concludes with quote, we have nothing to announce regarding any other potential titles. End quote. one notable response suggests that Nintendo sees its launch strategy for fire red and leaf green as likely a one-off quote. What about other classic games beyond Pokemon titles? Is this the return to standalone of standalone virtual console type offerings? The response quote, we remain focused on offering classic games through Nintendo switch online and Nintendo switch online plus expansion packing quote.

14:04Greg Miller:But again, other than Nintendo thinking this solution would be fun. There's little reasoning given to why fire red and leaf green will be a costly exception to its usual rule of course nintendo is unlikely to turn around and say to fans that really money is the reason why it's doing this whether that is the motivating factor here or not and of course despite any complaints online these relaunches will undoubtedly sell very well other fans have suggested that nintendo is technically unable to offer fire red and leaf green via its nintendo switch online gba catalog, which typically allows players to load multiple save states and rewind gameplay.

14:39Greg Miller:Such antics would likely create havoc for the Pokemon company by allowing for easier duplication of Pokemon period. With just this list of Q &A answers to go on though, that remains speculation. Pokemon will celebrate its 30th anniversary next Friday, February 27th with its annual Pokemon Presents live stream. Of course, now this is Greg, no longer Tom, no longer Nintendo. We're going big.

15:01Fran Mirabella:We expect very big things out of this which I want your opinions on, predictions on Jerrica after we talk about all this stuff

15:06Greg Miller:but it's worth calling out everybody next week Friday February 27th 6 a.m. Pacific time we will be live in the studio it will be me Greg Miller the biggest Pokemon

15:18Fran Mirabella:fan at kind of funny and Tim Geddes Tim is coming back to do this to react to the Pokemon thing because we are expecting that big of a show we will be live at 6 a.m.

15:28Greg Miller:not your usual thing and again Kevin I want to talk to you about this beforehand but the world exploded. So now we're making the beans live. You ready? We're making beans, Kevin. We're going to come in at 6 a.m. Roger's going to run it because, of course, if you didn't know, we're doing a fucking marathon stream for Resident Evil that day as well. Fate was not kind to us on a production schedule on how much content we need to do.

15:50Tim Gettys:But here's my... So you want me to bring a slow cooker? We're making beans? Is that what you're saying? We're showing people how we make the beans. You don't eat beans.

15:58Greg Miller:We're showing sausage. We're going to show how the sausage gets made, Kevin. I think it'd be cool. We do the direct reaction. Let's say it's an hour, maybe 30 minutes, but let's just say it's an hour,

16:07Fran Mirabella:right? Six to seven, then seven to eight. Obviously me and Tim doing the games, cast reacts, all that jazz, you know, recapping it all. Is it possible, Kevin,

16:15Greg Miller:in any way, shape or form for it to be easy that at eight o 'clock I can start streaming Pokemon,

16:23Fran Mirabella:Pokemon leaf green because Jen wants to do fire red and then go all the way up to games daily. Like, is there a way to set that up? That'll be easy for Roger or is that too hard?

16:34Tim Gettys:I think... Huh. See, the Roger factor is interesting. I think, yes, it is easy. Okay. The day before, we're doing a thing, and we're going to have the switch there, I think, right? Right. So we just leave it there.

16:50Fran Mirabella:Okay.

16:51Tim Gettys:Right?

16:51Fran Mirabella:Yeah. Right, right, right, right.

16:52Tim Gettys:And then we set up the OBS

16:54Fran Mirabella:thing or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

16:55Tim Gettys:That's a button press. That's a button press. So it should be... I think it's doable.

16:58Fran Mirabella:Okay, cool. Let's work on that, and let's work on that because I want to make an even bigger day out of Pokemon day than it already will be love you kev jerica i love you as well now that we have all the information on the table where do you want to start i want to talk about the just the fact that

17:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:it's why is it so different why is pokemon so complicated and you know i've been pondering on that and like just why can i have all these games i had from my childhood like on this awesome portable switch too right yeah and i think with pokemon i always sort of have to like remember like it's not just pokemon or nintendo like it's three different branches like controlling this ip and making sure that it stays valuable and it stays relevant and the wrong decisions aren't being made um granted i'm actually on the side of like i'm glad this is just coming to the shop i don't want to pay twenty dollars i know it's just twenty dollars a year if i'm not mistaken for the Nintendo online store, but I'd rather just pay it and own it and be done.

18:02Fran Mirabella:I said I coast on Tim's, so I don't even know how much it costs.

18:04Tim Gettys:It's the company. I coast on the company.

18:06Fran Mirabella:We have it for editorial purposes. Why is my wife on there? Nobody knows. I'm on there too. Yeah, of course you are. Joey is too, I see. We share games. It's great.

18:15Fran Mirabella:Yeah. I think you nail something that we don't talk a lot about when we talk about Pokemon, but yes, of course it's Nintendo, then it's the Pokemon company, And then it's game freak that all own a piece of this pie. Right. So there is stuff going on. You know, I, I, it's always funny in video games and any fandom to see the fans who do like the, the, you know, the meme where they fucking block the corporation and take the errors to the back or whatever. So like the people were like, well, you couldn't do it because of the safe States and the things like that. And it's like, that could be an actual answer.

18:47Fran Mirabella:I know, you know, something that these articles that we read here don't talk about and, but it shows here. Right. And I might get the terminology wrong. Cause of course I'm the new generation of Pokemon fan. Remember this ties into Pokemon home. So you can be throwing your Pokemon all over the place, which I imagine might be a hurdle. If you were trying to do that through NSO or at least a hurdle that would require time investment in money. And they're like, we're not going to do that for an NSO game. But I think for all the, I think we've all known for a long time that the Pokemon games aren't on there because they can do this kind of shit that they can go out and they can know know they're going to be able to dip into the pot your pocket and get this all the time and it's an interesting push and pull of it where as some i'm so stoked about this like i did a greg way today talking about it just from the positive perspective knowing we would get into the negative stuff here but from a positive perspective today waking up it happened you know when jen and ben were asleep last night getting to tell them this is happening jen being so excited like ben these are my pokemon games this is where i started like we're gonna play them together and like her being like i'm gonna take red i'm like oh fuck i'll take green i'm like having that conversation of what we're going to do and how we're going to play it and even last night i went on nso before this happened i was looking around at games because i just got that n64 controller hot and i was like what can i play and i was like oh what other rpgs are on here and i'm i've been hankering for a pokemon and had real conversations and thoughts about doing sword and shield which i haven't given the full chance to because i came on more of a scarlet violet person um but then i didn't want to burn myself out for gen 10 i want to be hungry for gen 10 this seems like such a nice hey here you go it's pokemon day here's a cool thing that would have been awesome to just have announced on that day and not given a week of oxygen for people to be angry about uh and on top of that the fact that pocopia is also happening imminently and we have a weird ass pokemon game there to play with like i am excited about that i then understand where other people are at like you jericho like oh i don't even want to subscribe to nso so why does it matter uh you know i understand people who are subscribed i see the people who are like mad about 20 i'm seeing the people who are wishing they were together for 20 it's such an interesting thing but at the end of the day what really happens is pokemon sells and so we're back to the conversation we had yesterday with playstation we're back on the place of talking about earlier this week of where the in general video games are of that art and commerce and capitalism slamming into each other and pricing things that they know you'll buy and want to go out and get so I'm not mad about it but I understand being mad about if that makes sense Jerrica yeah I mean just look at the the what was

21:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:the the switch to welcome tours ten dollars for ten dollars more you can have this so like is it surprising that it's a twenty dollar game on the Nintendo shop no and I think that's a for me i think it's a very fair price for something that literally if you don't have it physically like it's they're so expensive you know i've been collecting a lot of like the older games i can play i have in a lot of pockets i can play yeah and it's just it's just sucks like you know i just want to be able to have access and it's nice to that this is going to be an option to play some of these games but on the flip side you know what i really want my dream game my dream pokemon games i haven't been on i haven't been hot hot on a pokemon game in a long time sure like current uh this gen titles za is fun but literally all i want is a hd 2d remake of any of these games red blue yellow and like seeing this for me it makes me feel like that might not happen at some point like you would you would you would assume it's someone's talking about this potential remake but keep the nostalgia there yeah um that's for me personally but uh i'm still excited this is happening i'm gonna play these but man i just really want like a true remake of this kind of experience yeah i don't think i think that is probable i understand that pokemon moves at an

22:50Fran Mirabella:interesting pace and to their own beat of their own drum on top of a nintendo beat of their drum and all this stuff but i think with the amount of these in-between spinoffs you see between the gens i think you could easily see them do that and i also think that the unquestionable success they're going to see with fire red and leaf green is going to make them go what else do we do here do we put more out do we put out blue do we put out yellow how do you do this i i think it goes so far beyond the nso experience i think that they have kept them off of that for the reasons listed here, the home stuff, the whatever, the battling all stuff that I'm not even a thousand percent familiar with, right?

23:28Fran Mirabella:But whatever it is to get these games out to people and sell them again, I think they will do Jerrica. I want to jump into some super chats here. We have a lot. It's over 9000 says I paid$100 for a leaf green cart a few months ago. Happy to get these on switch for$20. And again, that's part of the equation where it is collectors like yourself, Jerrica, like Topher wanting to go off and have that experience, but have it accessible in the new hardware versus me so excited to see what captivated people back then in the fact that it seems like you know with the rivals and it seems like these are there's a bit more harder edges to these pokemon games and there are the very nice rounded everything's hunky dory experiences i play now i'm stoked to jump in let alone share it with ben and have it there bg25800 says do you think this opens up

24:16Greg Miller:the pathway for the older pokemon games to release on switch how would nintendo solve for the dual screen issue. I think all options are on the table for Pokemon across the board.

24:28Fran Mirabella:When you're talking about the DS ones, right in the dual screen issue, that's a harder ball of wax, but that's where you could see. I think maybe these remakes come in and be there. I think Nintendo and the Pokemon company understand the cash cow they have and what they can do with that. So I wouldn't be surprised if you put the development into somehow figuring

24:46Greg Miller:that out we move on uh andrew brown says there's more content in fire red and leaf green than the base sword and shield i'm excited to dive into that so you've played these before jerica yes

25:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i actually have not not the remake of the of them like i haven't played these versions like i hopped off playing pokemon probably around like literally a text of a friend this morning i was was Sapphire. And after that, if it was around that time, I just missed it. Um, but of course I played red and blue and always wanted to play these games. I've never played. So I'm just, that's why I'm also just eager to finally have them.

25:29Fran Mirabella:Are you bummed that it got announced or leaked or whatever today?

25:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Nah,

25:34Fran Mirabella:I am. Fuck. I don't, I don't like sitting here going on, man. I can be playing on a week. I'll be playing that. I'd rather know it's just happening. It's there.

25:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:That makes sense. Uh,

25:42Greg Miller:Aaron Lime says they might, they might not be making any substantial changes to these versions like online because of the game corners in them,

25:50Fran Mirabella:which could lead to re-rating them with the ESRB, which could make them not E-rated. What is the game corners? I don't even know what that means.

25:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I've never heard of it.

25:59Fran Mirabella:Everybody chat, explain that to me. Super chat. You're wrong again. I'm the voice of the new Pokemon generation. I don't know the old Pokemon generation. Were these people killing people? Oh,

26:08Greg Miller:it's gambling. It's just gambling. It's casinos.

26:12Fran Mirabella:See I jumped to murder not so much Murdering your wallet slash getting Addicted to this street shadow says I'm so Surprised people are surprised at the price and How Nintendo are rolling this out I expected This the these are going to make more money Than in NSO of course they are It's also easier to wrap your head around I Think when you sit there and you talk about The lapsed Pokemon fan who hears about this and is Going to be enticed to go buy switch or A lapsed Pokemon fan whose kids now Have switch the idea of oh another their subscription service that is harder for them to wrap their head around versus hey here's 20 bucks go play the game and be done with it Saul Herrera says as a Nintendo fan and stockholder

26:50Greg Miller:for them I laugh in emulation because fuck that no wonder stocks dropping$30 in the last six months

26:57Fran Mirabella:we'll see what the stock does when it sells a gajillion fire red and leaf greens but you're not wrong in terms of that emulation this was the big thing I saw both last night as people reacted to it and then even in the comments of a couple articles like IGN and GameSpot today right where it's like but I can play them on my phone

27:13Greg Miller:for free and all this it's like well yeah you don't have to go to the movies either you can find free versions of the movies

27:19Fran Mirabella:on a dark web too but it's like don't you want there's plenty of people like me that just want it to be easy and legal and support what they want and just do the thing click the button and buy it and this is one of those rare occasions where people like oh Greg you don't even know you don't pay for games I assure you I will be paying for probably three copies of Pokemon red and fucking green here in a second

27:37Greg Miller:uh jumping through some of these other ones make sure we get it all done Jericho what are your expectations for Pokemon Day next week

27:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I mean obviously the next big game and then we'll probably get I'm sure I'm eager to see like what the next not you know I feel like with EA it was also like a not experimental but they're always trying what's the new thing for the next big Pokemon game yeah and I'm sure and there was like, you know, the in-between games that sort of removed themselves from like the core gameplay that we're used to and like be something different. We got, you know, Pocopia coming out. That's a unique, it's not like a core game, but like it's an idea that they're pushing with Pokemon. So I'm excited to see the next gen, like full Pokemon game for Switch 2 will be cool to see.

28:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:But I'm hoping we get some kind of tease for like what's the next big weird Pokemon game that maybe could bring me back in because like i said i just haven't been brought back into pokemon in a long time i played a little za but it's still like not i don't know what it is i don't know if it's just the for za specifically the environments the world felt not as polished as i want it to be i don't know i just want it to feel more personal when i'm playing pokemon and i just didn't get that from that game so do you think gen 10 is the do you think gen 10 has a chance to do

29:06Fran Mirabella:that because that's been the big conversation here we're supposed to do our predictions for uh pokemon presents yesterday but of course blue point died uh we'll do it on monday but you know i granted a new fan to the series but someone who's watched the industry for so long i am expecting gen 10 to be a big fucking deal in turn i i have drank my own kool-aid that i think this could be the one with voice acting that this could be the one with like the you're going into battle and you get like i'm playing the monster hunter stories or i was playing monster stories three's demo right and like when you go into battle the way it's like animated in this and it's beautiful and it's like these things like let's go like this is the one this is gen 10 is lining up for the 30th anniversary like i feel like this one can't just be another pokemon and i never was Oh, Greg.

29:56Fran Mirabella:Oh, Greg.

29:56Greg Miller:So I know, I know that I'm dreaming big here, but again, it's gen 10, right?

30:04Tim Gettys:Greg, they might go back to full flat 2d. You can't, you can't get yourself that excited.

30:10Fran Mirabella:Dude, if they go back to full flat 2d, that'd be hot as hell. That'd be right. You're right. Right up Jericho. That's what I want.

30:16Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'd love that to be the thing they try. Like, but yeah, to your point like the next big i just i just haven't had that moment yet so i just i'm not optimistic even though we have the stars are perfectly aligned just how my expectations have been and what's actually happened with the new pokemon game i'm just usually let down and i'm like come on y 'all why can't pokemon just get get to the point where i'm like blown away like this feels like a Pokemon game that I could play in 2026 or whenever it comes out, you know, like I would just want to have my socks knocked off and this looks really, really cool.

30:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Um, yeah, I'm not optimistic about it happening just because I haven't had that happen yet.

31:02Fran Mirabella:Both chats are currently very much the James Franco first time meme, but it's like, oh, this is how, you know, Greg's a new fan is that he thinks there's going to be any, either has to be this time, uh, in this line in line with this, there's a super chat, uh, BG 25, 800 says, barring any announcements on Pokemon day, this leaf green fire red will be the only Pokemon game coming to switch one this year as Pocopia and Gen 10 are switched to exclusive and chat. Has there been confirmation that Gen 10 is going to be switched to exclusive? I'm not saying it's not. I just don't remember seeing anything official and until it's official, we need to say it's not official.

31:38Greg Miller:Do you think it'll be switched to exclusive?

31:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Jerrica how things are happening right now? probably not like it might not I don't know I feel like we I think it will be switch and switch to I think that makes the most sense I don't know if they were planning for that before the you know the chip shortage situation but if I was into do I would want to make sure that it could be something that both consoles can access but who am I you know I don't know yeah it doesn't seem like

32:08Fran Mirabella:there's official confirmation which of course makes perfect sense but it's like somebody's calling out that Pokemon's never done cross gen before i just oh with how nintendo game freak and the pokemon company treat this franchise i would be shocked if this was switched to exclusive i hope it is but i think back to our point here yeah they want to make as much money as possible off of it and continue to make pokemon the biggest thing in the world and so when there's what is it 150 million switches in the wild number ones yeah i don't think i don't think you throw that away and say oh no this is it we're gonna jump to switch to it'd be awesome if they did i would love that if they did but ron jose i don't

32:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:think this next game will be the one that finally wins me over maybe the next one though

32:56Fran Mirabella:that sucks street shadow says we have a misplaced expectation of what pokemon is and has been as a 35 year old who plays these games for decades accepting the reality of pokemon and seeing how my son reacts to it changes my perspective street shadow i'm right there with you of course not wrong i'm right there with you like ben connecting with pokemon is what brought me into pokemon i couldn't figure it out as an adult how to get in but when i saw it through the eyes of a child and my son being stoked about it yada yada then i was like ah okay here we go a lot of people are pointing out there's an argument in chat the comment was there's never been a cross-gen pokemon game people are saying zas cross-gen the comments are very meant i think a gen like a a legit pokemon what do you call a mainline pokemon not a spinoff not like anything like that so it is interesting i guess in the conversation of it that pocopia is in fact a switch to exclusive but i think if i'm the pokemon company game freaking nintendo i look at that and go this is a niche spinoff pokemon game that is going to appeal to a very specific pokemon slash cozy gamer that isn't everybody in the world.

34:01Fran Mirabella:When you jump to Gen 10 Pokemon, I think they're going to want that to be everywhere, which I guess does go against me saying they might actually push it because it would be held back by the switch. But I digress. You can't stop me, everybody. I'm excited. I'm excited. I get to go back and play Gen's Pokemon. I get to play the first Pokemon. I like this. I like this a lot. Final one in this context come from Mr. Hawks. Mr. Hawks. what if the hook for gen 10 is that one version is a switch one game and the other is a full-on

34:29Greg Miller:switch two game also jerica rules blaster goblins rules that's it that's a fucking fascinating take

34:37Fran Mirabella:mr hawks but i think it's too much work i think it's too much work for what's going on or whatever i call it mr cox mr hawks sorry everybody oh that's what i did the first time thought you i love that idea in terms of that's how you'd really get somebody to buy two versions of a game. I guess I'm going to end up buying two anyway. One for me, one for Ben, one for Joe. I like it, but no, it's too much work. It won't happen. But I'm still expecting. I've drank the Pokemon Kool-Aid. I am young. My eyes are wide. I haven't been burned

35:07Greg Miller:a million times. And I won't lie to you. Kevin's saying it could just be a flat two. Is that a rumor, Kevin? Or is he making that up?

35:13Tim Gettys:No, I was just trying to see what's the opposite of what you were saying.

35:16Fran Mirabella:Dude, you know how much I love my Octopath games.

35:18Tim Gettys:That's what I want. Come on. No, that's a very stylized and beautiful looking design. That's not what we're talking about.

35:26Greg Miller:I'm excited for this leaf green. I'm going to be playing.

35:29Tim Gettys:I'm excited for you, too. This is a big deal. And don't look up anything. Just play the game. Oh, sure. Just play the game and get as far as you can.

35:38Fran Mirabella:Before I get angry that it's not easy? No. I don't know what to do?

35:43Tim Gettys:No. No. I mean, just like if you beat what you think the game is, then there'll be more. I like that. Whoa. I like that. What is this? What is this?

41:44Greg Miller:Number two on the Roper Report, the Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs that caused console price hikes. We go to Zach over Kotaku. On Friday, the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled against the majority of President Donald Trump's tariffs,

41:59Fran Mirabella:including those enacted using a decades-old law reserved for a national emergency. These 2025 tariffs led to a last-minute switch to pre-order delay,

42:09Greg Miller:as well as an increased video game console and accessory price. It's a major setback for the president, and it could help alleviate rising gaming costs, but it also might make for nothing,

42:21Fran Mirabella:as Trump will likely move to reactivate the tariffs using different legal methods. In 2025, President Trump used the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the IEPA, and if it comes up again, I'm going to call it the IEPA, to enact tariffs against a large list of countries.

42:40Greg Miller:No previous president had ever used the law to impose tariffs against other nations. The court ruled the court was split shockingly six to three in its decision to rule that Trump's unprecedented use of the was illegal with Chief Justice John Roberts writing the majority opinion. Quote, the president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs on of unlimited amount duration and scope. wrote Roberts. But the chief wrote that Congress has never said the language in the IEPA applied to tariffs, adding quote, we hold that IEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, end quote.

43:19Greg Miller:Roberts was joined by the three liberal justices as well as two conservatives, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. It should be noted that not all of Trump's tariffs are now gone as not all of them were enacted using the IEPA, but many of his so-called reciprocal taxes have now been ruled illegal last year trump's reciprocal tariffs and his trade war against countries like china and canada directly led to nintendo delaying pre-orders of the switch two in april in august the company quietly raised the prices on many switch accessories and on various models of the original console other companies like sony and microsoft followed suit with similar price increases on hardware and accessories as a result of tariffs against countries that produce many of the parts needed to manufacture gaming hardware in a better less horrible timeline most of trump's trade war tariffs being deemed illegal would lead to video game hardware prices going down but we don't live in that timeline president trump has many different legal avenues for reinstating many of the now illegal tariffs as helpfully pointed out by a bloomberg chart if you want to go read it there even if all of these tar i'm sorry even if all of these legal backup plans fail and he's unable to get all or most of his precious tariffs made legal again console and gaming pc prices are likely to keep going up and up and up due to

44:38Fran Mirabella:the ongoing memory shortage caused by ai hyperscalers racing to build massive data centers but at least you can take comfort in knowing that trump is having a bad day today that's something

44:48Greg Miller:right? Jerrica, fuck Donald Trump. Yeah.

44:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Agreed.

44:57Greg Miller:It sucks.

44:58Fran Mirabella:This is the worst part of this whole fucking timeline. As Zach points out, this happens. Great. Nothing will change. Cats out of the bat. Everything's fucked.

45:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Damage is done. You know, I don't know if we ever see a more affordable option for consoles or accessories games develop there's been so many ripple effects and so many variables that we're seeing impacts in and yeah not great it's nice to see him taking hell maybe there's some light at

45:31Fran Mirabella:the end of tunnel yeah yeah taking l that's great you know supreme court definitely has been uh a shit show uh so it's nice to see something here for an l but what it actually leads to nobody fucking knows and that sucks but again an L hooray we'll move on to story number three another hooray I guess a Bioshock movie is planned to coincide with the new game release apparently this is Eddie over at GameSpot a Bioshock movie is happening now at Netflix and it's apparently planned to coincide with the release of a new version of the game that's according to producer Roy Lee who said in the interview that Netflix and Wright's owner take two are quote very anxious to see the movie come out end quote because the plan is for it to coincide with some of the potential new incarnations of the game end quote lee did not name any specific games outright but take two recently reiterated that the long in development bioshock 4 will see the light of day dot dot dot someday a remake of the original bioshock was reportedly in development but was canceled in 2025 as for a bioshock movie lee told collider the plan was to make it a few years back but director francis lawrence had a full plate with the long walk and the hunger games sunrise on the reaping that movie is set for release this december lee said lawrence will be in post-production on that movie until at least september so it might still be some time before the bioshock movie gets made for now the intent is for lawrence to begin production on the bioshock movie in 2027 quote it's steadily on the path but you know how it goes it's so many things could get in the way but i know that the intent is to hopefully get in production next year end quote a bioshock movie has been in development for more than a decade now with pirates of the caribbean director uh gore verbinski originally tapped to

47:14Greg Miller:direct the theatrical release he pushed for a big budget r-rated version and the studio reportedly balked after watch what men flopped lee said in 2024 uh the bioshock movie at netflix scaled back to become more personal uh in wake of the regime change at netflix that reportedly sought quality over quantity and more manageable budgets. Blade Runner 2049's Michael Green and Terminator Dark Fates' Justin Rhodes are working on the script. There's no word on cast yet, which makes sense given there's no production start date. As for Bioshock 4, the game, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick recently said the game is not dead and will come out quote-unquote without question.

47:50Greg Miller:He offered this assurance to fans in the wake of Bioshock 4 undergoing a partial overhaul to improve key areas. Developer Cloud Chamber also suffered layoffs with studio head Kelly Gilmore departing and former Diablo boss Rod Ferguson taking over. Some may recall how Ferguson was called in years ago to be a closer for Bioshock Infinite and to get the game out the door. Jerrica, are you ever going to play Bioshock 4? Is that a game that we will actually touch a controller and play for?

48:20Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I feel like it's been like 10 years. Might have been longer than 10 years since something was announced that something's happening. But I do, I don't, I'm not, no. I don't think so I don't know like this the it's just been so muddy with communication on this game if you ask me before this conversation hey do you have any updates on Bioshock 4 I'm like haven't even thought about in a long time but yeah oh yeah are they still working on that

48:46Fran Mirabella:Bioshock even it came out March 2013 so yes it's been over 10 years since you played a Bioshock

48:51Blessing Adeoye Jr.:dang

48:53Fran Mirabella:outrageous I don't know

48:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I don't I don't think so I don't I don't know if this this ship sailed but like there's they seem to be committed to another form of media to present it on so as far as a movie or a tv show like um maybe that's still to test is there a want for this world like i i mean i'm down for it i'd love another bioshock i'm just trying not to

49:19Fran Mirabella:hurt myself with this one that's the thing of you figure these kind of games that gestate for this long and have this kind of expectations let's say you aren't a bioshock fan let's say you've come to gaming the last 13 years and don't only heard us talk about how much bioshock one was and how great bioshock one was and the big daddies and so on and so forth like there's an expectation for what bioshock four would be even though i guess two in infinite you know various levels of quality on who you talk to. I just feel like this is the classic conglomerate AAA gestation of this happens, we rebooted it, we did this, we brought this, and eventually even though they're take two and they have GTA, eventually they're going to look at it and go, this just isn't coming together, cancel it.

50:06Fran Mirabella:Kill the studio, close it up. Cloud Chamber's gone. And the fact that Ken Levine left obviously and started up his whole deal, Ghost town ghost ship I forget which one it is and then of course Judas looks cool and sounds cool the fact that that's going to get out before a Bioshock 4 is crazy before that's wild it's like insane that he was able to spin up the studio and get it and maybe I'm wrong maybe it won't either but I don't know man I don't know you're chasing something and clearly you're not finding it and I don't know how much in 2026 we talk about this every day how much it's ghost story thank you so much how much profit there is how much you need to be making you look at this thing just hemorrhaging money and I imagine yeah Rod got brought in to be the closer and get it on track and get it done the silver lining to this yeah is the show and the movie I should say Netflix like yeah if they're looking at this as a transmedia IP then they are going to try to make it work and maybe again I'm just jaded and we'll be fine and it'll land in I don't know I just don't know maybe it's

51:06Blessing Adeoye Jr.:bad sign it's like hey we need we need the show or we need the movie to be able to sort of like land the plane with hey now we got a new game coming so i don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing the fact that both things are being worked on or like together for a franchise that does it still hold i mean for us i'm sure it does but like relevancy to other like new players like

51:29Fran Mirabella:i don't i don't know and it's an interesting thing too you bring it up of like trying to coincide with the movie and it's like well the movie can be delayed so easily and so many different these can go wrong there games they're clearly struggling to get it where it needs to be and get it when it like you can have that oh we're gonna hit the same date but like are you do you hold to that date if the game isn't up to where you want it to be do you push and miss it and what if the movie sucks and this didn't work at all and nobody cares or what if it is what we talk about with the last of us to some degree but more importantly fallout of like yo they fucking crushed this fallout show in all the old fallout games shoot up then because people are trying to play it would have been awesome to have a new Fallout or a new remaster or whatever there again though I would then say well let's remake Bioshock 1 or remaster it or whatever the fuck it is and have that time out with it more but who knows video game movies getting announced are a dime a dozen so we'll see what actually ends up happening yeah I'm always

52:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm always hesitant when it's a movie I think the show structure definitely gives the story more room to breathe the fact that it's a movie I'm a little yeah you gotta shove a lot in there Yeah.

52:36Fran Mirabella:Kyle Leboeuf says, Super Chats, Infinite was incredible, but sold poorly. In this market, no shot that Bioshock 4 sees the light of day. Again, I could see it, as I was talking yesterday, being a sunk cost thing, where, listen, we've put this many years into it, put it out, and then, yeah, it does nothing. Like, what were the numbers? Chat, I need you, unless you're okay, I don't think you'd know this off the top of your head. What were the numbers on Mafia, the old country? Because I feel like that's a game that came out, did critically okay, pay but i just never hear people talk about like i just feel like that came and went and so did that sell well enough that people were happy with it i remember there being something like it sold a million whatever but were they in any of these financial things have they talked about being

53:16Blessing Adeoye Jr.:happy it sold well okay good yeah it's apparently did it sold well barnell not great okay well oh shit well i'm seeing that like yeah it seemed pretty successful country sells over 800 000

53:28Greg Miller:units in the first five days all right fuck yeah this is all well this is leaks and rumors but i believe it i believe it yeah click on that one uh there was one go go to the top again all the way yeah and then what's that one there is mafia old country has sold over 1.2 million copies click on that one there we go oh yeah fuck yeah oh this is analytics or whatever but all right good for them but that's the one that's a weird one that came out and like did chat did y 'all play it did anyone play that because again that was a couple of folks play it but like

54:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:no one else was out no one else was talking about this game when it came out not my not my

54:05Greg Miller:uh my group in a lot of no some yes i did i played it yes okay okay it just seems like i feel like

54:14Fran Mirabella:oh my god you should play this i i don't know and we'll never get the actual honest audience or from a take two though right of like okay you did 1.2 million in whatever the time period there was what is the number you needed to hit for this to be a success like it does is that good enough for what the years that went into this and all this other stuff or is it that was not where we wanted and then of course there doesn't seem to be a lot of scuttlebutt of people talking about it so what does that do for the franchise the ipv etc because i think some of that's applicable to thinking about bringing out a bioshock 4 right now but i digress let's move on to story number four and jake solomon's goodbye his ai trailer and more this is eddie over at gamespot games industry veteran jake solomon has shared the first footage of his next game but it comes as part of the developer also stating that his studio is shutting down and the game never may never be released after spending 20 plus years at firaxis solomon founded mid-summer studios in 2024 with the ambitious mission statement that it would quote-unquote reinvent the life sim genre

55:22Greg Miller:the company said obey can you I want to watch this with sound up can we wait Kev the company said at the time that it raised more than six million dollars from a variety of investors but it seems midsummer will close without releasing any games Solomon said this is over on Twitter that he said this he's really proud of the studio and the game that midsummer was working on which was called Burbank it was a quote-unquote dream game for him he said the studio wanted to show the game before we close the doors at midsummer studios end quote so the world can see what the team has been up to. I'm going to read his Twitter post in length, and then I want to finish the one last

55:56Fran Mirabella:graph and then watch the video with you.

55:58Greg Miller:Okay, Jericho. Jake tweeted, we built a studio, we made a game, and I'm really proud of both. Before we close the doors at Midsommar Studios, I'd like to share a glimpse of Burbank, the game we poured our hearts into. It's like, quote, Life Sims plus the Truman

56:12Fran Mirabella:Show, end quote, but it's more than that. I believe people are storytellers, and I want them to share whatever stories and characters they can dream up. Burbank lets you do that we have moments playing this game where characters come alive in a way we've never

56:24Greg Miller:experienced and for an old game developer like me that's special what you're about to see is

56:30Fran Mirabella:definitely pre-alpha but this game was a dream of mine our team made it come true so watch the dream with us our character and then when you watch it this will make more sense because the follow-up tweet goes our characters use ai for memory reasoning and speech that's what lets you create

56:46Greg Miller:anyone you want and drop them into any story you write. But all of our art is created by

56:50Fran Mirabella:our talented artists. We had no interest in replacing any, with the little asterisk surrounded, developers with AI. The final graph here from the write-up that again was Eddie at GameSpot. He described Burmick as a life sim plus the Truman Show, but also something that's more than that. The game would have allowed you to create your own TV show just by playing the game, or at least that was the idea. Now let's watch this with some audio up.

57:19Fran Mirabella:Midsummer Studios.

57:20Tim Gettys:I have to say, Jack, talking about my ex has me thinking about what I really want. And right now, that's you. Is everything all right? Or are you just trying to get under my skin? Hey, Captain, rough morning already? You have no idea, Lee. We've got a real zoo on our hands with this Turtle Fight Club business. Arbor, I'm not sure I buy that you've got this under control, considering how that last jump shook us up.

57:43Fran Mirabella:Create different shows. The possibilities are endless, it says. Then pause it here. What kind of show do you want to make? And it's career, police, something else. Then you can go in and you have the characters you do. So for an audio listener, we've been following one character guy who's been in different scenes that have looked sci-fi, that have looked like drama, that have looked at a bar, right? But here you go. What kind of show do you want to make? Career, police, sci-fi, life. And then what genre do you want it to be? What's the protagonist's role? Go ahead, Kevin. You can add, they add film in front of a live studio audience.

58:13Fran Mirabella:So if you're not a watch, if you're not a watcher, you're a listener. You're going in, making these characters, naming them, setting their personality, their speaking style, their voice. You can let it go, Kev. And then you drop them into these scenarios you're writing. Select or create any job. The story is yours. It's as creative as you. Then there's this backstory that's been generated. You can roll a dice to redo it. There's a purpose. There's memories of what you want to go in and put all this stuff into. And then you got to go, Kev. And then, yeah, Shadowhand inquiries. Meet or customize your morning cast.

58:48Fran Mirabella:What's this episode about? It's so fucking hard to talk about this because as the point goes out, this is definitely pre-alpha as Jake calls out. And Jake, I know from the XCOM days in interviews and stuff like that, right? So like, you want to always give devs the benefit of the doubt or whatever, but you put this out and you look at this thing and you go, and it's just like what are we fucking doing jerica what are we fucking doing with ai you're more skilled

59:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:not the right thing not the right things let it go kevin i feel like there's this isn't good this is not good unlock new abilities create a better show as your cast levels up do you want a catchphrase or the confession booth and so like i it's hard

59:46Fran Mirabella:it's hard to criticize what we're seeing and hearing because i understand from previous game development and stuff that it's pre-alpha this isn't the final product i've got to admit i did have a thing as i if you're planning on using ai and again we're not into everything here but if we're planning to use ai for voice you assume we're doing that already and the fucking soulless line delivery of all this why would I give a shit that I'm writing I'm writing or AI generating this random ass shit that then is happening that's then delivered with all the panache and performance I mean what are we doing like what the fuck is happening and I mean it's interesting of course that we're talking about the fact that he announced this studio midsummer studios in 2024 and here it is boom bust and we look at this and it's like yeah like I I don't think this was going to reinvent the life sim genre.

1:00:42Fran Mirabella:Something that is so personal and relies so much on personality. And what I would say relies so much on fucking soul. I don't know.

1:00:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:So this was shown to someone with a lot of money and they're like, here you go. Here's investors just giving up everything. Millions of dollars. Six million.

1:01:10nah

1:01:10Greg Miller:nah that ain't it that's the problem

1:01:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:this is where it becomes a problem and I don't know like when did this get started I can't remember if that was mentioned like founded in 2024 okay so pretty recent um yeah this ain't it

1:01:30Fran Mirabella:yeah yeah yeah and again pre-alpha I understand but like there's interesting ideas here that would be really cool if I felt like They weren't going to be the most generic, weird bullshit based on whatever AI can generate. So on the one hand, it always sucks to see a studio close. On the other hand, I'm happy to see it's already flushing out garbage AI shit. So AI sucks. AI fucking sucks. Generative AI fucking sucks. To be clear. We move on to story number five. Resident Evil Requiem copies already out there early and Capcom is begging you to keep its secrets. A request from Capcom to the community.

1:02:07Fran Mirabella:please don't post or share pre-release leaks and spoilers from Resident Evil Requiem. We really want everyone to enjoy the game story and experience as much as possible. Our legal department will continue to issue takedowns and deletion notices for leaks in order to preserve your day one experience. It's not long now until the game is out. So we look forward to seeing you all your reactions after your release. Your Capcom team. Jerrica, are you excited for Requiem?

1:02:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Oh, I'm so excited. Yeah. Big Resident Evil fan. We talked about it last night on Drop In, Drop Out, and then we're prepping to do that. That's our next focus game, so we are ready to dive in and talk about it with everyone each week. It's one of those games that always just checks a lot of boxes for me. With this one specifically, I'm excited to see Leon again, wondering how the story will play out, and really like what... I don't know. I feel like we talked about this last night, but I feel like village has had a lot of ideas and you know, it sort of felt like it was a little all over the place.

1:03:09Blessing Adeoye Jr.:And some of the environments didn't really stick to a path, which sometimes is a good thing, but it was, it was a lot to take it. And at one point I was like, I am ready for this game to be over.

1:03:19Fran Mirabella:She gets it. She likes the media more. She likes the media more than residential village. Just like me. I'm very excited for this. I'm very excited for a vacuum.

1:03:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm avoiding everything myself. They won't get me. I've already, I haven't even seen the last two trailers. I just skipped. Huh?

1:03:36Fran Mirabella:I said, nice. Going in blind like that. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. We're excited about it here. Of course. Remember one week from today. Yes. It's Pokemon day. Yes. We're up at 6 a.m. Yes. We're streaming leaf green. But more importantly, we are locking blessing Andy in the room for the marathon stream on twitch.tv slash kind of funny games to play through this and be scaredy cats, but not long now, but everybody keep your spoiler guards up. Jerica. when we get Resident Evil Requiem and find out the story, that'll be big news. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go?

AI sucks. AI fucking sucks.
