Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You're never allowed to change your opinion on a thing. I'm fucking hyped about Mario Kart World. And that's because it is a substantial step forward as far as the features and as far as the modes and as far as what they're doing with this one. But with that, that brings in a lot of questions. For me, the main couple of questions that I have are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
What is the full breadth of what you're doing with online? Okay. We're in a new generation now. Gotta be better. It's Switch 2. Online has to be better. And then also, I just expect, based on the fact that you are upping the amount of players that you have in a race for this thing, right? You have knockout mode. You have these lobbies where you're kind of roaming in the open area.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
What does more of that look like as far as how online-focused this game might be? Or not even online-focused, but I guess what is your focus on online? What are you bringing to that experience that is going to make that special? My second thing that I am looking forward to seeing out of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And for you, because I view you as more of the, I guess, like, you probably played online in this game more than I did. I played a lot. I played a lot of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but I feel like online wasn't necessarily my go-to outside of, I don't know, maybe playing with some friends on Discord or whatever. But I assume, you being Snow White, Mike, were you organizing tournaments?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Were you organizing community stuff?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I think the fact that you have the online lobby being a drive-around sort of area, I don't think you're going to be in the... You know how they had it as you're looking at the planet, and then you had people. You're just sitting on a screen telling people you're using tilt controls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
you know like i don't expect that i expect it to be more of a hey we're hanging out kind of thing here and with that yeah i would hope that you have a bit more control as far as yeah like i wanted to be me and my friends fucking around but then also being like all right this is the race that we're gonna do and hopping in there and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Think like Limbo. Think like Inside. But the art style is pixel art, but it still maintains that same atmosphere that you expect from a puzzle platformer like a Limbo. One of the main gimmicks I've only played about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Allowing you as the lobby leader or your party to have full control over the way you want to play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I'm not touching 200. 200 is way too fast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I think if Nintendo is doing this the right way, you add a ranked mode. Not even for the thing of we want to support the try-hards, the people that are in this competitively, but even for the people that are on the way more casual side, ranked mode is good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
This is a thing that I learned through playing fighting games is the fact that, hey, if you want to play people that are on your level, that's what ranked is for. Mm-hmm.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
ranked is to appropriately put you at the place of people that are playing at your ranked right and so like sure that's gonna that's gonna put people in the mode of oh i gotta become the best mario carter in the world but also that's cool that's a fucking all you want to get good at your video game but then at the same time you want people to be categorized with people that are their appropriate skill level so they're not getting frustrated when they're doing random match or quick match or whatever and then matching with the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
30 minutes 40 minutes of this video game because every video game is coming out at the same time right and so like i got it and i i the reason why i drafted it is because i've been looking forward to bionic bay like quite a few maybe about a month ago or so i did a stream where i was just looking forward to games coming out throughout the year and i saw bionic bay watch the trailer and i was like yo
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I guess more of the non-online side, just the general content side. Let's keep going. Were you a Diddy Kong racing person growing up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You can choose either. I support you either way. When you see the open... open world kind of setup that we have going on in Mario Kart world. Like what do you want out of that experience?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I mean, 1,000%. When you say collectibles, my brain gets excited about what you can do with that. Because it could be, all right, you're running into characters and you're unlocking Moo Moo, the cow, or whatever. Or you're unlocking the skeleton fish that apparently can drive a cart. You're unlocking those rain mask characters that we're seeing that they have in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I would also love to see, yeah, what kind of carts can you unlock? One thing that's a dream for me, but that I think would be super dope, would be if you could collect... If there was, like, a Mario Kart radio, and you can collect, like, classic Mario tracks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, to, like, add to your radio station. If you're doing an open-world driving game, you kind of have to have a radio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, different types of races. Obviously we've already seen the knockout mode, right? Which is really cool. And that's a longer mode. I, to your point of what if I pull up on, on Luigi, like what if it is a, Hey, you pull up on Luigi and it is a short race. It is, Hey, we're drag racing and you have a minute to like get to the other side of wherever this thing is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
pick it up this looks different like I dropped a linking assets if you want to bring up the steam page and like play some footage because like this is one where if you're a fan of the games that I mentioned yeah you should keep your eye on this one of the main gimmicks that I've encountered early on which might just be the main gimmick of the game yeah is that you can like tap objects within the world and you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
like i want to see them play with that format because they now they have the space to do it right before when it was no here's your here's your grand prix it is four tracks and the four tracks more traditional whatever like i understand why you don't have that variation i think i'm in a mode that maybe i'm painting this too much to be like forza horizon or whatever yeah the world loves forza horizon and this is your shot to do it i'll love to see that kind of variety i'll love to talk to characters i'd love to have it be a diddy kong racing i'm sure the chat or barrett can correct me but do you know how many people are allowed in the free roam
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I would like to see that. That's where... I start to wonder how they do it, where I think when you're driving around with your friends, that's a lobby mode. I don't think you're going to have the collectibles and missions and stuff like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, but I think they save that stuff for single player. I think that's just how you lobby up and hang out, but then the purpose there is to usher you into whatever race you want to do. I think single player is where you're running into Luigi and being like, yo, let's drag race.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Here's the thing that stood out to me is that it wasn't choose the wheels, choose the cart, choose the glider. It was just straight up choose a cart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
like it was you choose your character and then they have like a bunch of different like already made carts that you're choosing where you're not i do like that because i i felt like i was always behind same because i didn't know the meta or i didn't understand i would always be choosing maybe the wrong three pack there yeah so i do appreciate that yeah that i uh i like a lot i i prefer as far as characters and stuff i i think we're gonna get way more characters right how many how
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Give me a number. I don't know, because the 24 racers throws me off as far as how many characters you want to have as part of this thing. Because I think you then want to have way more characters than you had in 8. And I think they're hiding a lot from us so far. Because when you look at the character roster, it is Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Moo Moo, Skeleton Fish.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
There's a range of characters that we're missing in the middle. Where I'm like, who are you leaving out?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
change positions with that object so like you'll see a big rock or something right you tap the rock and like an effect will happen and then you'll jump and then like you click b and then all of a sudden you switch places with it and so now it's you trying to figure out how to like you know change positions at the right place so that you can either like block a laser or you can dodge a thing or you can get across a chasm oh it's really cool and look at the art style
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, so Bear brings up the key art that has just a bunch of characters on it, which I think does give us a pretty good idea of what to expect. I think... You got the penguin. The Goomba. Wait, where's the penguin at? Over in the water.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, the penguin's very cool. That's cool. I love the penguin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I wonder, and this could be a DLC thing, probably is a DLC thing, but crossover characters?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Because, again, you have such a range of Mario characters that jump to Moomoo. And I love that they jump to Moomoo because Moomoo is a Mario Kart statement. Moomoo has been here since the beginning, right? Shout out to my guy, Moomoo. But... To not have a, like, to not have the Bowser kids makes me wonder, are they incorporated in a single player story mode? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Is by racing them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And to be clear, when I was playing, in the character select screen, you would have regular Mario, regular Peach, and all that stuff. But then you would also have their costumed selves, like different versions of their costumes, in that same character select screen. Okay. So they are permanent unlocks. Okay. But yeah, they didn't really specify how you permanently unlock them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I don't remember.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, I don't think so. Yeah. No, it's like immediate. Like you hop in, you're in the sky and then your, your cart transforms or your cart like gets wings or whatever flies, but it's not like, Oh, this is a jet ski race. Even though maybe there's a, maybe there is a, like a track that's all water or whatever. And they have you on that. That'd be fucking sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
But I don't, I don't, I don't get the vibe, but that's where, that's where they're going.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Mike, what if I told you I had notes?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
This isn't going to happen, but I want it to happen. Knockout battle mode. I want a battle royale battle mode. Give me a battle mode with a bunch of people on it. And it is, even if you give me a shrinking circle, fuck it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, but I think outside of that, you're going to get a battle mode. What do you want out of a battle mode?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
This is what I'm talking about right here. This is a blessing-ass video game right here. This is a blessing-ass video game if I've ever heard it. The thing that sucks is that I'm playing another blessing-ass video game, Blueprints, and it's taking up all my time. Isn't that game so good? It's unbelievable. We haven't really caught up on it. Have you beat it? No. Have you beat it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I do love Voltronic91 in chat says an extraction racing mode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You joke, but hey, you know, think about it. Think about it. But no, yeah, like, I think there's a longer conversation to be had, but we can have it at another time. This is the time. We're talking. Well, we're longer than the show and I want to get super chats, but also, like, I feel like battle mode hasn't been battle mode for a minute. I feel like we hit the height with 64. Yes. And, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Make it feel like one of the main things. Yeah, make it feel part of the things. I want to bring in some super chats, of course, that ask you guys what your predictions, hopes, and dreams were for Mario Kart. Kabobs writes in and says, I want stats detached from parts and characters. Kabobs, you're getting that. Like I mentioned, you're not choosing parts anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I see Kabob saying that's not what I meant. I assume Kabob's meant what you're talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I don't know. I was right in with what you meant.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, that's the catch. Every single time where I'm like, oh, this is the run where I'm going to finish the game, I find something new and I start chasing that thing instead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Okay, so here's the thing. They released a deluxe version of Mario Kart 8, and they were like, all right, we're done. That's it. I don't think they planned for DLC until they realized they're like, fuck, 50 million people bought this. We should do something with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
They have the stats. This is me rewinding back to 2013. Mario Kart 8 had regular DLC, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
They already got that. I missed it. My bad. Well, they have more of those, though. I hope not. No, you're not going to have them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You don't think they team up with Porsche? You think they have a Cybertruck? The Mario truck?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You don't want the Pauline Tesla? Think about it. She's a political figure. What's more of a thing to do as Pauline than partner up? You know? These are all true things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You know the guy, the one we all hate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Ninja Fingers writes in, this is Mario Kart, but I'll read it because I already said your name. Mike, T2 Judgment Day, you're literally identical to the security guard that gets taken out by the T-1000 at the vending machine. It's uncanny.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Dee Davis says, I'm hoping we get a story mode. Make it the Diddy Kong Racing of Mario Kart. Do we get a story mode? Maybe. But, like, what do you want out of a story mode? Because even when you say the Diddy Kong racing, right? I guess when you say story mode, do you mean story? Because Diddy Kong racing didn't have a story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
It was just like a little mini hub world that would just go from Grand Prix to Grand Prix.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Sure, I'm down for a story, but I guess a story that has really just set me up to do races. I don't think Nintendo is ever going to get in their duffy as far as the plot of Mario Kart 8 or Mario Kart World, which I'm totally fine with. Just give me a reason to collect things, and it could be as simple as Bowser kidnapped all the car dealers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, we should do a spoiler. Because it's crazy how far ahead I am on certain things and how far behind I am on certain other things. Because I'm playing and Kev sees my screen. He's like, oh, only two letters? Exactly. And I'm like, brother, I just figured out how to get these letters. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, I don't want Mario to say words to me. That's how much of a story I don't want. If Mario starts speaking more than three words in a sentence, then we've done something wrong here. Do you think Chris Pratt will return? Wow. He's so cool. Yo, what's up, guys? I'm Mario. I was also Garfield. I was also Garfield. I was also fucking Star Lord.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Inner Jetstream writes in and says, won't be shown tomorrow, but imagine DLC coming as cross-universe worlds to explore. Exploring Hyrule, Brinstar, Green Greens, etc. would be dreamlike. That's actually pretty cool. Garfield's house. Let's get in that. Garfield's house. Let's do that. Mike. That brings us to the end of Mario Kart World Conversation. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, today was kind of a slow news day, so I was like, oh, we'll make a thing. I didn't think we'd make this much of a thing. Now we're behind in the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah. You know, I think it's just like the, uh, It's so unprecedented that I don't think Nintendo even knows how to operate in this situation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I'm starting to get worried. The more you mention it, the more you say it, the more I'm like, yeah, I guess this would be a right time to put out a press release after this thing to be like, hey, by the way, pre-orders are going up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah. I think that looks super cool. And yeah, I, I, I'm with you of like, I feel like the console raps came a couple of years ago and they like really promoted it with, was it Starfield? Starfield.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And I'm glad it's back. I want to see it for Outer Worlds 2. I want to see it for some of their bigger titles as well. I think there's a lot of opportunity for that. I hope they sell well. I hope they do well enough to where it's a mainstay because I think they're really cool.

Yeah, I think I lean towards the Greg side of, like, how much I use my phone or even my computer at my desk to, like, redeem codes or buy things or scroll through things, right? Like, somebody tells me about a game right now, and I'm just, like, hanging out at a bar or whatever. I have the Steam app on my phone, and I'll immediately go to Steam and, like, hit wishlist there. That's cool.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I love where we're at with that stuff. I'm actually surprised. As I saw this story, I was surprised that these weren't already functions for the Xbox version. So I think that's really good that they got that in there because that is just ushering us to the future. And then streaming games, of course, like let's go for the games that you own.

Story number four, Destiny 2, the Edge of Fate reveal has been announced for next month. This is missed news yesterday. I saw it and then immediately it left my brain.

It's been quite the year for destiny players and the game's evolution continues with the latest chapter dubbed the edge of fate getting revealed soon.

No details were given outside of the reveal being a special live stream event on May 6th, starting at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Well, developers will discuss the first expansion, the edge of fate and much more during the event.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
It feels like all bets are off when it comes to the story. How the story is structured is something else. Following the launch of The Final Shape last year, Bungie announced changes to how it planned to deliver content, switching from seasons to episodes, while also announcing the future of Destiny 2 as codename Frontiers. Starting with Destiny's Edge of Fate,

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
The game will get two expansions with four major updates per year. Fans have been eager to know specifics regarding what's next for Destiny 2 as the episodic content has now come to a close and any sort of schedule have remained a mystery. This latest expansion for Destiny 2 is expected to be what was given the codename Apollo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Per the roadmap Bungie released back in September, Apollo was scheduled to release sometime in summer 2025. Apollo is planned to be a paid expansion with new stories, locations, missions, and more. However, it won't be the only update coming to the game.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Bungie is also planning another full expansion called Behemoth for Winter 2025, which will also have the two major updates leading into spring of next year. Mike? I have somebody from the outside looking in of Destiny 2. I haven't played much Destiny 2 outside of, like, I played a lot at launch. Like, I played, like, 80 hours at launch.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And then, like, I'll peek in for expansions here and there, but then I'll drop off because, like, I don't know. We're too deep in the well. You know what I mean? Like, the game's too advanced now. The plot's too deep. I'm like, I don't know where I'm at. I don't know who these people are. I'm scared. I thought it was done. I thought the final shape was the final thing.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, it'd be huge, right? Like another second game in a row that's fucking killing it and people love. That'd be gigantic. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Story number six is Wii news. Let's start from VGC. The Witcher 4 developer CD Projekt Red has warned players that invitations to take part in beta tests for the game are a scam. In a post on the official Witcher account on X, the studio noted that some of its players have been reporting that they've been invited to play a beta version of the game.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, if you're out there and you get an email that's like, yo, play The Witcher 4, it's not real, guys. It's not real.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Be smart and safe out there. From VGC, Niantic has confirmed that it has laid off 68 staff following the sale of its games business. That sucks. Yeah, I feel like we say this every day. Hate to see it. That fucking sucks. We talk about industry consolidation and acquisitions, right? Like, this has been one of those things that's, you know, we've been made to expect it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That doesn't make it normal or right or good or anything, right? Like, it always fucking sucks, especially when it is, like, damn. You know, like, people who are working hard, people who, like, didn't have anything to do with the sale, but then they're affected negatively in this way by it. Hate to see it. From... No, from VGC was the last one. This next one, Among Us 3D, launches May 6th on PC.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Among Us has been great. And, like, we can also just get guests. Like, we don't need Greg and Tim who are going to grumble all the time. Oh, I'm always the imposter. Let's get Janet Cho in here. I'm sure he's down a clown. Jeff Grubb. Let's get Jeff Grubb in here. Man, they embarrassed us on that Monaco 2 stream. I don't like to talk about that.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Fair enough. And that is it for WeNews. Let me check back in with Super Chats one time. Street Shadow writes in and says, Blessing KF crew. If you want, I will Sherpa you guys the new raids. They are so much better than the Kalos raid. Vow of Disciple is great. It's just a lot of time. That's honestly, and here's the thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I don't... It's not the fact that, like, I am scared off by the lore of Destiny or all that stuff. It's just I know the amount of time it'll take for me to, like, catch up on grinding and also catch up on lore and catch up on all that stuff. I... Like, that's the one... I don't want to say downfall of this job, but it's just a reality of, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah. Uh, see more super chats for you. Christopher Burnett writes in and says, uh, the voice actors of GTA five were revealed during San Diego comic-con in 2013. Do you think they might reveal the voice actors of GTA six this year at comic-con and GTA five actors present them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Nobody was like, hey, this is who it is. And, like, don't the characters look like the actors? Like, if I see my homie, and they're in the GTA 6 trailer. Yeah, the Trevor actor just looks like Trevor. Yeah, like, I'm going to be like, yo, you're in GTA 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
If she looks exactly like that, just walk in the streets like, that's the life of GTA 6. I imagine it's the same way they did it with 5, where, yeah, they scan you, and, like, they... Like, do the whole thing. Yeah. Like, they're going to look like the person I assume. And so, she's voiced by Troy Baker. Also, it was Greg that counterpicked GTA 6 from you. Yeah, big choice. You got Greg to blame.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Big choice. And let me tell you, as I open up this fantasy critic, I'm looking back at my team and I'm like, yo. I might have cooked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Because I got Mario Kart World on my team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I got Death Stranding 2 on the beach on my team. You got that. You know what I mean? And, like, I still have drops. And so, like, say Possessors gets delayed, which is very likely. Yeah, you got some drops. Let's get that out there. You still got money to work with. I still got money to work with. I got two open spaces. This Bionic Bay. Bionic Bay is doing its damn thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I love that RuneScape. I'm going to say back, even though it never left.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I got two open spaces for Summer Game Fest also. I'm looking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You know what I mean? It never left. Some of us should stop playing. But the streets always fucked with RuneScape.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I've been going back and forth on my thoughts on that as a pick. We didn't get a chance to talk about rematch. What a fantastic time. Rematch, I thought about drafting, but I was like, no, I'm not going to draft that because it's the weird multiplayer game thing slash live service thing of there are so many factors at play as far as how it could be received critically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That said, that game at its core is so fun that I would see it getting at least an 80. So that might be a nice safe pick for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Dispatch is cool. But I don't feel like I'm playing Dispatch this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Because there's old school RuneScape. Then they made new RuneScape. I've not booted up RuneScape since fifth grade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Can I tell you the saving grace for my thing, right? Is that I counterpicked mainline 3D Mario. And I knew that was a bad idea. And I thought that that was gonna fuck me. Put up a prayer. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna fuck you, Bliss. And right now, I don't think we're getting a 3D Mario this year. No, by all accounts, no. I think you're making it just fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
The fact that I got away with that is insane. Like, if I win, it's literally like I got an angel looking out for me type shit. Because I should not have won with a counterpicking a 3D Mario coming out the Switch 2 launch year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That's insane behavior. Let's see. Let's see if we got a couple more super chats for you. Futon writes in and says, Diddy Kong better be in the game at launch. I swear to God. I think we're taking a break from Diddy for a while. I don't think Nintendo wants to associate. I'm joking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That is a funny joke, but like, oh no. I mean, I don't know. I would love to talk to somebody at Nintendo and be like, yo, what's up with Diddy? Like, what's up with Diddy Kong? When was the last time we saw Diddy Kong?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, I'm good. Well, maybe for the RuneScape, for this new RuneScape Dragon Wilds game, it does look cool. I do like the idea of them expanding out and doing even more things with RuneScape.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Nintendo was such a weird company that I wouldn't be surprised if higher-ups were like, let's take a break. Diddy Kong, we're going to put you on the bench for now. We'll come back to you in 2027 or some shit. But also, I do think that coming back to the Donkey Kong redesign, that also might have something to do with the new identity of Donkey Kong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Donkey Kong is now trying to separate himself from Diddy Kong. Because of the rebrand. You're amazing. It's like when you leave your music group. It's like when Beyonce left Destiny's Child. And you get that glow up. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, he'll bring back Diddy Kong after a while. Okay. But right now Donkey Kong has a show.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, there's so much to talk about. For the first thing I want to acknowledge, Rayman in the chat says, didn't Blessing say he wasn't excited for the new Mario Kart game? And to that, I want to say, oh, can we not change opinions anymore? Oh, wow. Can I not update how I feel?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
It's the stock market. So tell me about this game. So Bionic Bay, I have the Steam page opened up here, right? A scientist uses a unique teleportation instrument to escape an ancient biochemical world filled with imaginative technology, deadly traps, and hidden secrets. That's a terrible description for this fucking video. Yeah, I have no idea what that is. It's a 2D puzzle platformer.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Maybe they just don't have... Black Ops 6 was a huge quote-unquote revolution for what Call of Duty was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, no Omni movie. I mean, honestly, they're not going to have that big thing where it's like, here's the big TM, new movement system, new thing that we can really push here that is pushing forward Call of Duty. It's probably just going to be another Call of Duty.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I mean, they'll have their own thing, right? They'll have all that jazz.

You seem to me like a Honey Bunch of Oats. But that's not even my final answer. Woo-hoo. I think you might be a Honey Nut Cheerio guy. That's my final guess right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Not much. I played a few hours of it and I dropped off pretty heavily because same thing where I was like, I'm excited for Outer Worlds, but in Fantasy World and I'm like, not really getting that as much, right? And then I see this 11 minutes. I'm like, oh shit, we're back. Like this is fully, this is what I wanted. I just wanted Outer Worlds too. That's the reason why I dropped off of Avowed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
so hard but I think eventually I will get back to it push forward a little bit but either way like this this to me is the most exciting thing so I am excited for those people that have not played Outer Worlds or heard about it or are tangentially related to it to now get a look at it but I also just a little bit scared of just like I don't how do you pitch this game to like people that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I don't know. Is this going to actually help the game that much, or is it just going to be the same people that are like, oh, I saw this game, and oh, it's not really what I'm looking for. Move on, right? I don't know. Is this actually going to be the thing that pushes Outer Worlds 2 into this mega franchise, or is it just going to stay in the smaller, nicher side of the RPG sphere?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Ninja Gaiden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, and I think Obsidian is owed this moment, too, right? Like, I mean, they've just been working so hard on so many great games that they deserve at least a spot once, right? Of like, hey, this is our sequel. This is the thing that is going to perfect this Outer Worlds formula. This is the moment to give it the biggest spotlight ever. Yeah, when I look back at this year, fucking Xbox...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
had a great year so far.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, for sure. But Xbox in total has a great year lined up. It has had a great year already with South of Midnight avowed earlier on. They're doing well this year. So yeah, I'm not expecting Gears of War even though it's on my fantasy critic, which might have been a mistake, but we never know. We never know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
They don't need Gears of War, right? They need just Outer Worlds to fill it up. They have... What did I just say? Ninja Gaiden 4 coming out soon, right? So they have a good year lined up. I'm not worried about Xbox at all. Perfect Dark, that's another conversation. I also don't believe in that game. What we saw, that gameplay we saw... People were blown away by it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I was like, that doesn't look real. That doesn't look like a real game still. I look at that and I'm like, I don't see me playing that. That seems like a very, very, very, very much a vertical, vertical slice if you can find one for E3 games. I don't know. Fable, I'm not worried about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
The part of this that I didn't know, which is not even a video game, I guess it's a gaming thing, is the framework thing. Man, that sucks for that company. What a small company. I don't know if you know anything about framework, y'all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, you don't have one anymore. I bought one. Yeah, then you returned it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And especially, yeah, if anyone doesn't know anything about Framework, Framework is a company that is based upon the ideals that you can repair and upgrade your laptops by yourself, right? So you can literally just get all the pieces and put together your laptop and save a bunch of money. It's a really cool concept, so that sucks for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I've watched a lot of videos about that, and they're behind-the-scenes stuff, so that sucks for them, it sucks for Razer, and yeah, again, we're going to keep on getting this, and... Excited for tomorrow. We're going to get more news stories like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Sometimes I'll put a little bit of extra salt in there, and then sometimes I would overshoot it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, I mean, my first thought with the Portal was that this was just going to become e-waste. That's when I taught Snowback Mike about the term e-waste. And then he just started using the term e-waste for just regular trash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
which is incredible so yeah he would just be like he would throw away a can like man it's just a bunch of e-waste that's not that's not how you use the word yeah uh so i'm happy that yeah one it's successful and two they're continuing to update it because man also one day we got to figure out how to jailbreak this fucking thing i know people already have sort of but like if they can start putting some emulation on that you know what i mean come on just a little bit okay but what sort of hardware capabilities are we talking with this i don't know what's on board with it someone got gta3 running like in the first week of this thing coming
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
coming out. So it has to have something going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Oh, the amount of times I've had to explain to my high school friends of like, oh, no, no, no, this is just a streaming thing. This is just a streaming thing.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah. Yeah, I forgot about that one. I should have called that one. That's a generic one, but it's a good one. It's a great one. But also, you have the same issue, though, because when you put enough milk in there, they just get too soggy.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I mean, I understand it's a PlayStation thing and it just works seamlessly, but you can play all your PlayStation games remotely on the Logitech G Cloud and also any other thing you want to do. You can emulate games. You can do all the stuff. It's like $140.

Talk to him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
What is going on behind the scenes in PlayStation with this and then also the limited edition PlayStation 2 and 1 and 3?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Themes that have went away, but then they teased were coming back, but then they're not back yet. It's like, what the fuck is happening?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And also, let's be honest, those themes sucked. They were not good themes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Did they do the sounds, even? So, it would cover, like, the images. That would, like, when you, like, go over a game, it shows, like, the little key art. It would cover that key art because it would have, like, this weird, like, transparent, yeah, on top that was, like, showing some PlayStation stuff. It was weird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Come on. How about that? How about that? Catch me outside. Catch me outside.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Okay, now let's keep you honest here. Where's the same energy for Hollow Knight? Like, what's going on there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, but it's been like years of us talking about this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Why don't you grow the fuck up, Andy? Okay, why don't you grow up and have some consistency? If you have the same feelings about Titanfall, have the same feelings about Hollow Knight. How about Bloodborne? Oh, how about fucking Bloodborne?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I thought you were going to do a thing of like, oh no, so then we can afford the Switch 2 thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, people have made the joke already, but when I saw the news story, I immediately went to the Don Matrix. Remember that? And Xbox One was coming out. He was like, well, we still got the 360 if you don't want to play online, right? Which was memed to death, and that was a shitty thing to say, right? Because that was something they could have changed, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, exactly. Well, it was the thing of, like, turning off the online, right? So they could have changed that. Right. This, to me, I'm like, what are you going to say? You're fucking the CEO of the company. Like, what are you going to say? Like, yeah, of course, you're going to be like, I can't afford it. Oh, man, we should have thought about that. You know, we're going to drop the price $100.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Like, of course, he's going to be like, buy the other ones then because they're cheaper. So, yeah, I mean, this is a nothing burger. It makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
but hopefully they will buy the cheaper thing that has been on sale for the last eight years yeah or most likely they already have it and you know the there's still support for it right like metroid prime 4 is still coming to that right yeah and this is also a pretty good answer just because also like in xbox 360 going to one era there wasn't backwards compatibility out the box right so it didn't even make sense to buy the last one if you're gonna buy the next one this one full backwards compatibility if you buy everything on switch one you're gonna be able to bring it over to switch too so again not a bad answer here for what he's saying and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
but I understand how it is. It's a sensitive topic right now. Everyone's mad about the price.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, for sure.

Oh, I like that. When I was in Spanish class, they would call me Rogelio. Rogelio, okay. Yeah, yeah, and I like that, but I also don't like it. For some reason, it makes me feel like a soccer player, which I don't feel like I'm worthy of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, this is always a mixed bag, right? It's so sad when a company that had its own identity and its own team is brought on to another team and then just slowly loses its identity and becomes part of the parent company. Just for the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
main idea of like i like different studios with different visions and leadership that feels unique under a publisher uh but it seems like that was getting in the way of them fully getting together with cd project and creating uh something in the witcher uh franchise right so i i it seems like this is this is a positive uh in terms of going in that direction but it is it is sad to see that and hopefully this doesn't lead to any layoffs in any form
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
It just says they have to rework the framework of it.

Oh, shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Two people wrote in that are not your wrong, so you don't get to be read out here. One person wrote the Phoenix. Roger mentioned the Logitech G Cloud being a good option because it's only $140, but it's actually $300. You're wrong because it was put up on Wario64 that it was on sale for $140. So that was my reference there. Yes, it is not MSRP of $140, but you can purchase it for $140.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah. It's a loose core.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
We're going to see this game. This game's coming out. Obsidian's going two for two this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Crazy stuff. I... Where do you want to go here? Because I'm talking about the Outer Worlds 2 element of it. I can just talk about the idea that Outer Worlds 2 is getting so much praise and excitement behind the Xbox marketing machine here. Putting it right afterwards, after the Xbox showcase, it's a huge slot right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That is reserved for Starfield before, Black Ops 6 was the first Xbox Game Pass Call of Duty game, and then now Outer Worlds 2. I was not expecting Outer Worlds 2 to have that slot. I expected, in my heart of hearts, maybe Gears of War. Maybe Gears of War is coming out this year. Maybe we do the big push there, right? So I think in my mind, that means that Gears of War is not coming out this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I expected maybe even like a Fable or something like that, right? But Outer Worlds 2, that's kind of cool that this studio is getting that push behind it. I don't necessarily think it's as exciting. I don't know. What do you think?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah. Okay, so work with me, chat, right now. Because if we're thinking about Andy Cortez, right, he likes all the fake flavors, right? He likes all the energy drinks with artificial everything in there. So my brain goes to, like, Fruity Pebbles, right? That's a good guess. But you strike me as an enigma. You strike me as somebody who might be into Honey Bunches of Oats. Ooh.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, I mean, it makes me happy. I mean, I'm the same with you, right? I played Outer Worlds actually for the first time, I think last year, right? And I fucking fell in love with it. I had a great time. I was even playing on the Xbox One version because I didn't want to pay for the Series X for it because it's only on Game Pass. Whatever. I had a great time with this. So I'm very excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I'm very happy that they have the showcase. But it does, it just makes, it's interesting. It's interesting and I'm glad that they're continuing the formula of like, hey, the game that we're showing is going to come out like pretty soon. We're not going to show you, do a whole deep dive on a game that's coming out a year from now, right? Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
These games are going to be, we're going to show the game, and then it's going to come out pretty soon afterwards, right? It is interesting, in my mind, that it wasn't a Call of Duty again. There was a little bit in my head of like, maybe that's just going to be the Call of Duty spot, right? Every year we're going to have the Xbox thing, we're going to have the Call of Duty thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That made a lot of sense to me. I have two minds of that. One, maybe they just want to make sure that, hey, we're spotlighting whatever big game that isn't called.

yeah i mean i think about seeing this remaster in the way that i think so too yeah um but maybe i don't i still think there needs to be a better standardization of how we use the terms remaster and remake and reboot and all the stuff right it's it's tough because i think there are we've seen it approached in multiple ways as far as if you want to look at um uh blue point and how they've done shadow colossus right or how they've done demon souls if you want to look at a resident evil 2 situation which feels like way more of a uh

excuse me more of a reimagining of what resident evil 2 is rather than just a remake or remaster even final fantasy 7 remake that feels like more of a reimagining the problem is that like i don't think we can get a standard uh like a standard way of doing it because of how marketing works what looks best on the box for final fantasy 7 remake is the word remake you know what i mean like you don't you don't just you don't call it final fantasy 7 reboot

And that has me so, yeah, to your point, very fascinated on, all right, are they remixing things a little bit to give you a bit more of Abby's side of the story? How does that sit? I also just wonder as far as the... I guess my assumption slash prediction has been that this is going to be a three-season thing as far as getting to the end of Last of Us Part II, right?

Looking at something like Star Wars, where you get A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and then the one after that.

But again, it's that thing where if I go back, I haven't done this yet, but if I go back for every year since, I'll say since Hades 1 came out, there is a roguelite that has captured my heart. It goes Hades, I think 2021 will probably be Returnal. I forget which year Inscription came out, but that's in there somewhere as well.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, I mean, I think the context to it, I think, means a lot to how we receive this. Because I do think that Hades 2 being announced a year and a half ago, right? Like, we've known about Hades 2 for a minute. Many of us have played Hades 2 in early access already. And the hype cycle for Hades 2 has already begun, right? It's been going on for years at this point.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
When you then partway through that marketing cycle go, oh, and this is going to launch as an exclusive on a console. I think that then makes fans be like, oh, what the fuck? Like, I'm a PlayStation guy or I'm an Xbox guy and I'm a big Hades fan and you're telling me you're not going to launch my console because Nintendo gave you money or whatever it is, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Like, I think that's where the salt starts to set in a bit. I think... Maybe I'd feel different about it if, like, Hades 2 was first announced at this Nintendo Direct, and they were like, you know, we got the deal, we're making this happen, whatever, and this was the first we're hearing about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah. It would still be the same on paper, kind of, right? But, like, I think the way you present it, it almost feels more like you're taking something away from the Xbox players and the PlayStation players, as opposed to being like, oh, no, Nintendo was part of the big push for this new game that just got announced and all this stuff. I think, for me, I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I feel like a bit, I guess, on both sides with it, where Hades 2 is going to come to Xbox and PlayStation probably, what, a year after it launches on Switch? Let's say sometime next year, since they're saying 2025 for Hades 2. So I think that gives me a bit of like, all right, we'll see it. I also I also I shouldn't assume anything, right? Because the assumptions make an ass out of you and me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But I assume there's going to be some kind of cross-save system. I assume you're going to be able to keep your progression because Hades on Switch 1 had the cross-save between PC and Switch. And so, like, I don't know. For me, it's rough, but I do kind of view it in the same way as Dustbloods of, like, alright, cool, like, Nintendo got one.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Sure. Did you see the like in like a different Nintendo event in a different country? They did confirm that it was the Odyssey team. Did you see this floating around? I'm going to see if I can find it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I can't find what I'm looking for, Chad. If you can find where some other Nintendo executive was saying that it was Odyssey Team, write it into You're Wrong or Super Chatted or something, because... Yeah, I think I'm going to have to dig deep for it. But, I mean, I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I would like to pray and hope that us not seeing Mother 3 yet means that it's not just going to be a drop on Switch Online. Like, it could be, like, an actual... Like, oh, we're re-releasing it, or we're finding a way to, like...

And, like, they're big gamers and, like, are, like, living the dream, getting to do work for Nintendo. God bless them. But also, Nintendo. Nintendo. Why do you make them do this?

gunslinger says bless would you recommend blueprints on the deck 1000% it works really well on the deck sometimes you have some frame stuff right but like it evens out and it's the kind of game that gameplay wise you're not doing anything that's like too crazy it's not like you're playing Sekiro and you need like the twitch reactions it's all just walking around picking things up opening doors and stuff like that which is beautiful for the steam deck
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I just want to explore. That thing is... And Nintendo, here's the thing about Nintendo, right? They're weird, but they're also smart. Because they want you to have a specific kind of experience with the thing. And if I didn't have a guy standing there, I would have been meandering. I would have been looking at every corner. I would have been taking my time and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
So I have this weird thing with Cleo Thomas where I just, I see him everywhere in real life. I'll go to a place, and Cleo Thomas, anytime I visit LA, I swear to God, there's a higher chance that I see Cleo Thomas out in the wild, and I don't approach him. I've only approached him once, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But because there's a man who's watching my every step in the gameplay, now I'm like, oh, I got a main line. Oh, I can't mess up with the boss because he'll judge me. They're smart over there. But also, I see through you.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm trying to say a thing about terrorists. Kevin's dying in the background. We need the levity. We got Starfleet shit happening, right? I think based on the... I'm not going to get the exact number, right? Because it's days ago. But I think it was like a 42% somewhere around that for Vietnam. And so I think the loose math was that somewhere like 650 or something like that. I'll prepare...

Good morning, Tim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Because he is still, even though he's in our spaces, he does a lot of streaming, he does a lot of video game stuff, he's still celebrity enough to me, right? Oh, for sure. I memorize the whole rap.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
For somewhere around that, I think if we're luckier, it's going to come to like maybe 600. Or if the tariffs get reversed, then like we'll see. But I mean, I don't know. I don't know how this math works. I'm also not an economist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
This is one of those things where, like, if something's happening in San Francisco, I've learned over time after living here that San Francisco is just a dog jeep. What the fuck?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I was just saying that San Francisco is just a different planet of a city sometimes. And so it's like, I'll see things and I'm like, man, that's really beautiful that it's happening. And then I learned that the middle, like, or not even the middle, everywhere else in the country is just not on the same wavelength as like what San Francisco is doing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
the holes you know what i mean hell yeah uh what was it i'm not gonna wrap up i thought about it um but i got him one day i saw him at summer game fest one time and i was like oh that's cleo thomas makes sense that he's here because he's in the video game space like a year and a half ago oh close to two years ago i just saw him randomly at disneyland
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I mean, yeah, I think that's the thing is it also comes back to because this is I assume about the Hades 2 thing, right? Like I think there's a for me talking about it. It's the difference of like me as an audience member being like, oh damn, that sucks that it's going to be a switch to exclusive versus me trying to understand like the business of it and like the why of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Like I think you can have both things of me being upset about the exclusiveness or exclusivity and then also being like I personally I feel like I understand like why they make this decision.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Here's the thing, right? I'll be honest with y'all. Nintendo changed my life. I'll be very real with you guys. I wouldn't be the person I am today without Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I said Sonic Frontiers is a 3 out of 5 that I love like a 5 out of 5. That's me showing my bias, but then also me being like, no, I can be real about it. You know what I mean? If Mario came out and Mario was trash, I'd be like, it's a 2 out of 5 that I love like a 10 out of 5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25

I'm doing good because roguelite stocks are up. Yeah. I posted this on Blue Sky this morning, right? But just thinking about Blueprints, a game that I've been hooked on for the last few weeks, a game that I cannot stop playing, and a game that continues to confirm my love of roguelites and how roguelites are on top.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm going to get a disease. I mean, you might, yeah, but it's worth it. You might come out with pink eye with all the dust that you're going to get in your right eye, but it's worth it. Yeah, I get it. Do you have a PSVR? Do you want my PSVR? No, I don't have a PSVR.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
No, Kevin. No. No, it can't. No. Different kind of tracking. Yeah. As inside-out tracking versus the PlayStation Move that the PSVR 1 was using.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And I'm biased to Nintendo. You know what I mean? That's all I'm saying. Yo, Nintendo, I thought they were about to announce Bloodborne 2, and I was gonna be fucking excited about it. Like, I don't give a fuck. Whatever deals you gotta make, make it happy, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I don't know what that means. I don't know what you're talking about. But I mean, that kind of echoes a little bit of what I was talking about earlier, though. Hades 2 coming to PC, early access, and already being announced for like a year and a half already makes this weird. I think that's what they're saying, right? Yeah. But the last part I didn't really get.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But like, yeah, I think that makes it weird. I think that makes it odd. I think that makes people on Xbox and PlayStation feel like something is being taken away from them. But, yeah, this happens, I mean, this happens, like, I think, like, once every year or so, right? Of, like, I remember going back to when Tomb Raider, I think it's either Shadow of the Tomb, no, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced as an Xbox One exclusive. Fucking bizarre. Like, what are we doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I think the bit of difference here is mainly the fact of like, I think we have enough of the understanding of how these things happen or how these deals work where we know that those games, that Hades 2 is going to come to PlayStation and Xbox by next year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I was going to say you need to watch this. Of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But it's still, I'm still with you of like, that sucks. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I don't know how to say it either. I say Evangelion, but you might be right. Fuck if I know.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Evangelion? Yeah. I like jelly more. You know what? I fuck with it. I've not heard that before. I think you're putting your own pizzazz to it, not respecting it.

Stand out. Can I tell you? Above the crowd. In the way that I've said many times before that if I had a GameCube as a kid, it would have changed my life. Like, I'd be on a different trajectory. I would have been obsessed with, like, Melee and Zelda and Wind Waker and all this stuff, right? I've seen Goofy Movie, and I'm pretty sure I've seen both Goofy Movie and another Goofy Movie.

Oh, you think she's the purple rock that we played as? I assume that you're going to meet people. I assume the purple rock is the purple rock. The purple rock likes music. What's Pauline like? I mean, Pauline does like music. Think about it. That's a weird thing to hold for a reveal and still have us play a demo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Unless that's how the game... Do you think that was a demo thing or do you think the purple rock turns into Pauline?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Not that I'm not excited, but... Pauline does add a bit of pizzazz.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, I don't want to make pizzazz the word of the day, but it does add a bit of pizzazz of like, oh, snap, you got Pauline up in here? All right, like... What's up? Tim's thinking.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25

You gotta watch 8 Mile. And Shrek. And Shrek. You gotta watch Shrek. Shrek is special. I've never owned any of the Goofy movies on VHS, and I think that would have been the tipping point for me of me being upset. Just all in. All in. Because everything about me, and the way that Straw Hat Goofy, I'm sure, has so much to say about Goofy movie. I should be Straw Hat Goofy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Can I tell you something that's going to upset both you two and everybody in the audience? And I want to preface this with I was 11 years old. I used to bite batteries.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I know. In retrospect, I know how dangerous it is. You could have blew up your face. Yes, I could have. I used to bite it because it was one of those playground rumors of, oh, if your battery is dying. That's how you get Mew. No, if you bite the battery, it'll last longer type thing. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know. Maybe it was true. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah. I'm not saying you should. I'm saying you should 1000% not do it. But it's one of those things where, like, I think back at it every now and then. I'm like, I could not have half my face right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
You know what I mean? This is one of those ones where I'm kind of jealous to not be on a stream, especially coming off of playing the entire punk again at the switch to event being like, man, I fucking love this game. And also this game looks so beautiful. I cannot wait to see how this looks on a 50, 90 bless. You're always welcome to join them. I mean, I'll come down. I like it.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
A lot more reviews in for the Last of Us Season 1, I'll also say. I think 10% of the reviews in currently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, this is my thing. It's the sucky thing of I got into it during the review process too late because we were reviewing South of Midnight. We had the New York trip, which already had us being busy last week. And then I think there was one other thing. It might have been First Berserker Kazan as well that kept me busy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I think they're interesting, but also I could have seen this coming as far as, I guess, the mixed nature of it, right? Because I think if there's one thing I can say about The Last of Us TV show is that I think the core of just... like television, like TV making, filmmaking, whatever you want to call it, right? Like, it's got that down pat. It's got that solid, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I assume the cinematography is going to be good. I assume the performances are going to be good. I assume the sets and, like, the presentation and how things look and all that stuff is going to be good, right? My one concern this whole time is, all right, how are they going to translate this story to TV? And, like, seeing that the overall Rotten Tomatoes is... in the 90s, I'm like, okay, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
We got something here. They figured something out. Reading into the reviews of where people are finding some faults in it, I think kind of lead back to the conversations we've had already of how do you translate this into TV?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
How do you do the thing of taking a story that is complete in a game over the course of a package, over the course of one installment in a game, and turn that into multiple seasons? I think we can all assume of where this thing maybe, probably cuts off, or like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I think for me, I read these and I can imagine how people are probably going to leave with a sense of like, oh damn, we just got to get season three. We got to see the rest of this thing. It only feels half complete. Because that is what happens when you pause. When you have the cutting off point in the middle of the game. So I'm not...

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm not surprised by this, but I am curious to see how it sits with me. Because I think for me, hearing you read these and for me reading the reviews myself, I don't know how I'm going to like or dislike how they tackle the story yet. What about you?

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Because I think you can make the argument that for Endgame, at the very least, like Infinity War, you got the year prior, right? We hadn't had a drought. It wasn't like there was a drought or a 10-year-long wait. I mean, more than that, right? It's been 12 years since the last GTA game.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think the amount of time people have been waiting for the biggest video game property in the world, let alone one of the biggest entertainment properties in the world. Yeah, he's probably right. It probably is just straight up the biggest, most anticipated entertainment property, even though I don't think there's any way to officially quantify that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
That's the actual thing of the story, right? Like, them saying, oh, we want to maintain the anticipation and excitement. That is the PR speak, right? That is speak for press and for audience. They'll be like, oh, man, they're so confident in this thing. The real reason why they're not telling us the date for GTA 6 yet is because they don't know when the date for GTA 6 is going to be yet, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

maintain the thing of hey we want this to come out here right we want this game to come out in fall 2025 they don't know if they're actually going to hit that i think to the fiscal year that we might know maybe shortly after that of all right we decided that this game is actually going to come out in 2026 instead so now we can finally talk about that but yeah like i don't i think that's the real reason is they don't know when the date's going to be yet they're not sure

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
But from what the streets have told me, it feels like this game is not coming out this year. There you go. And that's not a like, don't quote me. Don't do anything. But I don't get the vibe that this game is coming out this year from what the streets have said.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think the only thing I could see happening in regards to Nintendo and GTA is if Mario is announced for the same day as GTA 6, I think maybe you move Mario out like a week or something. I think you buckle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Doom is comparable to GTA.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think it'd be fun if Mario was coming out the same day as Ghost of Yota because Mario will fucking punch Jin Sakai. I guess Jin Sakai's not in this one. Punch Atsu? What's her name? Yes, Atsu. We'll punch Atsu in the face because 3D Mario is going to be the talk of the town.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think GTA is one of those ones where Nintendo would look at that and be like, it's easier for us to just release a week later. as opposed to try and release this day on the same... It's not going to bury Mario, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
It's not going to be the thing where... It's not going to ruin Mario's sales whatsoever, but I think it's an easy W for Nintendo to be like, actually, let's just move this up a week. Let's release it earlier. Fuck it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

You know, this is like before like cancel culture bullshit. And I remember being like, this movie gives me bad vibes. This movie, something about this movie. I don't know, man. I don't know. James Franco's being always being crazy in this thing. I don't know. Look at all my shit.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Who do you think would win in a battle between a hydrogen bomb and a coughing baby? GTA 6. But also, like, I don't know. It's a tough thing where I'm excited for all these games, right? Whether it be 3D Mario, Ghost of Yota, like, GTA, whatever it is, like, these all speak to me. And, like, honestly, I'm down for whatever shuffle of them come out this year versus next year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I'm with you as far as, like, man... I'd actually be excited if something got delayed to next year, because then I'll just play next year, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I would be down for GTA 6 to move into next year, or Ghost of the OTA, for that matter, to move into next year, because I feel like the rest of 2025 is already going to be busy with different things happening, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
We got Metal Gear Solid Delta coming out in August. We got Hell is Us coming out later in the year, right? We got Borderlands 4. Like, there's so many games...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Is it... For you... Would it be more exciting if it was like a PlayStation showcase or something? Like, are you at the peak of what your hype would be for any big showcase?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think the problem with Borderlands 4 is that it's not releasing right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Yeah, exactly, right? And I think right now is one of those times where I can kind of look around a little bit and be like, all right, what do I want to play? And I think... Right now, for a AAA game, that is going to be about people putting time into it, and it being that game that is, all right, I got nothing else to play. Let me put on some Borderlands 4 and just shoot shit, right? Loot shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
That, I think, would work in the same way that Outriders worked a few years ago, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think it coming out in the fall, I'm a little bit like,

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
all right like it's crowded it's crowded it's borderlands and borderlands has the the ip power and the name recognition all that stuff but if it comes out alongside whatever nintendo and whatever like ghost of yotei and whatever like these big companies have going on they're not gonna release it alongside gta6 this is an interesting even keeping borderlands in the conversation for me i'm saying right away like for me to get hype about borderlands 4 i'm gonna need a vault hunter i really like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think right now in the marketing cycle for both these games, Ghost of Yotei I think just feels more tangible and feasible, and we're getting bits about it that I think is important. Again, like, yeah, them talking about this being more of a revenge tale, I'm always down for a revenge tale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I was like, oh, he's freestyling today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Them talking about how they, you know, they want to tackle that repetition and figure out how to not make it as repetitive as open worlds tend to be, I'm down with that, even though every open world at some point is going to get repetitive, but like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I look at games like Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, or Elden Ring as far as, all right, we have repetition, but how do we even make those repetitive things feel special in every iteration? And I think both those games are great examples. I think Ghost of Tsushima already, even within its repetition, was already still fun. I liked the things that I was doing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
So if it is the thing of, all right, we're taking what worked with Ghost of Tsushima and just building in more excitement from the moment to moment, finding the next... I was going to say tower. Sushi Man, I don't think it had towers, right? But like finding whatever that thing is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
The next sauna, right? And like figuring out how are we going to twist it this time to make it a thing that is a unique experience? How do we find our repetitive bits and make them into unique experiences for the players? That I'm really down for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I need to get X, Y, and Z. I mean, it's the same with that Breath of the Wild, I think, that did such a great job of having a main quest, but you need to do the side stuff so you can be in a powerful enough position to complete that main quest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I see Ghost of Yotei possibly doing the same thing as far as, hey, we have this bounty hunting system, but also you have these main targets that are the targets of the game. Let's say there are... Four big assassination targets that are the people that you're going after who murdered your homestead, right? And you have all these bounty targets that are beneath them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Taking down the smaller bounty targets are going to get you closer and closer to those bigger ones that complete the story. I think that sounds fucking awesome, especially if you can tackle that shit in any order you want. I hope that that is kind of the direction we're going with towards this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Now, how do you think this shakes out with GTA 6, right? That's kind of where this story leads into from... Who wrote this? This is IGN, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
ijan brings in the gta 6 of it all of hey like this game is sent for a fall launch right and it seems like sony might be trying to play their cards close to their chest to figure out all right is this thing gonna land do we need to push goats of yote around this do you think if gta 6 is announced let's say in the next couple months for an october release date do you think i'll see yote gets kicked into 2026
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think I am of the mind of, like, I don't know. As I've been thinking about it more, I've been thinking about it more as a fall game, just for the sense of, like, will this game be prepared for summer?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I agree with that, yeah. I know the last Ghost of Tsushima came out in July, and, like, I think that was great for it, for what it is. And that was weird because of COVID, where it was, like, Last of Us, then Ghost, or vice versa. And, like, Last of Us got delayed, which I think then delayed Ghost. It was a whole weird thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
But I think this time around, I think Ghost of Tsushima, or Ghost of Yotei, deserves that fall spot, but also, like... I just hope if it gets pushed up because of whatever, whenever GTA comes out, I just hope it's ready for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Yeah. I think games, as we've gone on, games have gotten more complex and more big and like more difficult to actually release, right? Because things just balloon up and up and like, you know, That requires more polish. That requires figuring out how to scale things. That requires a lot to get things out the door.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Isn't it kind of crazy that, I was going to say that nothing leaked. I think all the hardware stuff is leaked like crazy. Yeah, of course. Seemingly, right? Rumors, reports, all that stuff. But software side, it seems pretty buttoned up, right? Like, there's not really been any whispers of anything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
And so we've seen more and more AAA stuff just miss the years because that's where we're at in video game development and how that stuff comes down. I'm not down on Ghost of Yota coming out this year. I believe that's going to come out this year. I'm mainly down on GTA 6. Again, just because of what the streets have told me. But again, like I don't know if that's 100%.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Things can change, obviously. But that's really the only game that I'm looking at where I'm like, I don't know if this is going to release this year. I think everything else, every other big game we're talking about...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
You're talking about 2013 where everybody was releasing on Tuesdays. The Friday transition happened. I feel like somewhere early PS4 era. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I'm saying I don't mind movie one ending that way. That would be fucking sick. See, that I would be sold for if at the end of movie one, even though this would... You all thought it was a stupid thing. It made sense. Usually, it would be like the second movie in a trilogy that has that tragic ending. Yeah, they are. Maybe it's not tragic the way they do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
let's say movie one because I like the idea of it being movie one of hey movie one is essentially Ocarina of Time it is Link against the warlord who is Ganon and all this shit right but then the twist is at the end of the movie Link and whoever Link's people are they lose like they lose badly right and then Link wakes up a hundred years later and that is the second movie and the second movie gets into that Breath of the Wild I love that I love that give me a normal Ocarina and then get me off there yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think that'd be fucking sick. I don't think they're going to do that, but I think that'd be fucking sick. From just the synopsis, I'm very fascinated. This might have to be another Gamescast or something of what is your pitch for a three-movie arc for a Zelda thing? Because I don't know what neatly fits, aside from that 100-year idea, which could be really sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Aside from that, how do you turn Ocarina into a three-movie thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Sure, sure, sure. I'll be honest, when I first read the synopsis, My two thoughts were, this sounds like Zelda, but then also, like, are you just trying to do, with the trilogy news, right? Are you trying to make another Lord of the Rings out of this, right? And like, is this going to feel generic fantasy?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Is this going to feel iterative of just, oh, it's a three movie train, you know, fantasy trilogy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
bongo bongo yeah um if you throw in because zelda a big thing is zelda is time travel right time is such a big facet of what makes the story what it is if you throw in some timey-wimey bullshit in there i'm kind of in yeah like that is what you do to make this thing feel unique sky tech says movie one oh he did he broke up the it's gone now he broke up the triforce the courage oh movie one courage movie two wisdom movie three power i guess it wouldn't be that but figure out the order there that's cool that's cool movie two would be power power probably movie three be wisdom

It makes perfect sense. The thing that makes people believe this the most is the collectible coin. It's the most Nintendo shit of all time. Of course it is. Yeah, 100%. I feel like I bought five different major Nintendo games where in the box they gave you a collectible coin. I'm like, what am I supposed to do with this shit? Collect it. And put it where?

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
The new Zelda? 3D Mario, but I so expect that that's going to happen that it wouldn't necessarily be a surprise. If we did get a glimpse of either a 3D Zelda or a Zelda remake, if it was an Ocarina of Time remake, I think that would get a huge pop out of me. Or like an Earthbound. Like something where it is like, oh, they're not going to do this shit, right?

Like if they finally were like, Mother 3 is coming out and it's only on the Switch 2. That would be something where I would be like, oh, fuck. I can't believe what's happening right now. I mean, just in general, a port of that would do that for you? I mean, if they're having it at a Switch 2 showcase, I would almost think that you do some kind of remake or reimagining. But I mean, even a port, yes.

Maybe that's why. Cause I, I, when I, when I envision flossing, I do envision plaque getting just, I've just never, I've never had that experience. It might be your teeth. You might have really good teeth. I think maybe I got gaps that are doing it or whatever. Yeah. And you're doing it regularly. So that probably keeps it free. I guess. I don't know.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
GTA 6? Yeah. I think about this often of, not the fact that, like, whatever comes out, it's a 7 out of 10, but more so, like, GTA 5 came out in 2013, and it wasn't game of the year that year. Like, last, like, I think people do, including me, people do, like, overestimate, I think, GTA on, like, maybe how it's going to perform against other games, I guess on a cultural, conversational level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
It's going to sell better than any other game that comes out that year. It's going to be talked about more than any other game that comes out around it, right, in that year. But, like, I don't think it's guaranteed it's going to get a 99 on Metacritic kind of thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
But I think it's going to do very well. I don't think a GTA can come out and be a 7. Yeah, I mean, that would be...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

I like, I want to say, okay, here's the thing. I like how much you're burying the lead of this story because the lead is such a non-story. We don't want to tell you guys the release date for marketing reasons. Cool. Yeah, sure. All right. If we told you the release date, you'd have too much to look forward to. You'd have too much to look forward to. We're already looking forward to it.

Now that's entertainment property right there. I think GTA 6 is in the conversation of being above Endgame in terms of anticipation. Because then we get into the conversation of how do you define anticipation? Does the amount of time people have been waiting for GTA 6 factor into that?

It feels the same. Okay. Yeah, like slightly bigger, but even like in the ways that like the Switch 2 or the Switch 1 Joy-Con analog stick were even like kind of short, right? Like it feels like a Joy-Con analog stick. Like most of the thing, like most of the button feel and most of like, I guess even the holding it right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It all feels like Joy-Con ones, except for the fact that like, yeah, it is like a little bigger.

Yeah, well, I want to bring in a couple more Super Chats for you. Jursten7 writes in and says, never had the stick drift issue with my Joy-Cons. Then again, I never use those tiny things. I didn't either, because I use a Pro Controller almost all the time.

Yeah, one more from Dante the Cleric who writes in and says, Hall effect sticks use magnetic tech. Could the strong magnets in the Joy-Con 2 controllers mess with the hall effect sticks? Possibly. Again, I think there are so many factors here that are at play that we just don't know because it is conversations that I'm sure Nintendo has.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I want to hop into the next news story. Story number two, unreleased Nintendo games allegedly leak online, including Ridge Racer and Retro Studios prototype. This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. Prototype builds for several canceled games, including a Nintendo Switch Ridge Racer title, Lego Civilization, and an unannounced game from Retro Studios have allegedly appeared online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Footage of the cancelled Ridge Racer game, which is allegedly from a build from 2017, is currently circulating on social media. The game was reportedly developed by Bandai Namco Studios Singapore and was intended for the Nintendo Switch. The game was never announced and has presumably been long since cancelled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Further development footage of a game prototype developed by Retro Studios titled Harmony has also appeared online. The footage shows a third-person perspective of a fairy character that can transform into different characters to solve puzzles. The build is claimed to be from 2017. However, the game itself was never announced by Retro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
The unannounced game had previously been referenced by Reese Kiwi Talks Riley, a content creator who has interviewed several former Retro Studios employees. Earlier this year, Riley mentioned on Reset Era that he'd been told the project was a huge disaster and that the game was canceled after years of going nowhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It is believed that this footage has been obtained via a Nintendo Switch development kit that was sold online. Dev kits are provided to developers by platform holders and are often heavily modified versions of retail consoles that can run in-development builds.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
These kits can often retain information and playable builds for games long after they are cancelled, and thus it is against the terms of service with platform holders that provided the dev kit to sell them on. A build of the unreleased game is now said to be circulating online, with many reporting that it is playable, though in a very basic state with temporary assets and environments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
A menu screen for LEGO Civilization, which, as it sounds, appears to be a LEGO take on the classic strategy game, was also found on the dev kit. Those with access to these files claim they have attempted to run the LEGO Civilization title, but have reported that it will instantly crash when attempting to play it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Dev builds of both Splatoon 2, ARMS, and Rime are also said to have been found on the dev kit. Gary, a lot here, but to whittle it down, games have leaked, right? Dev kit builds of games have leaked. These games are Ridge Racer, LEGO Civilization, and a game from Retro Studios. How do you feel about that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I mean, presumably you would think that they've been canceled because these seem to be old builds, but I don't think there's no confirmation. So we technically, we do not know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
lego civilization was the first time i perked up that sounds cool that sounds really interesting what's going on there that sounds like a fun a fun mashup i mean that could be like you know babies for a civilization in the way that like i look at civilization i'm like i don't know anything i hear people talk about how they played as gandhi and took over the world right i'm like i don't know what any of this you know they're intense games like you got to really dig in and and learn the systems and they're you know they're not for anybody
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
and you imagine if you're going to make a lego version of civilization that's going to be a very like pared down mainstream like approachable version of what that is plus you know it can teach you teach kids about history you know yeah yeah plays lego gandhi and take over the world right actually i mean gandhi didn't take over the world but i think in civilization he does right like i mean i get i theoretically i guess you can it's like really weird the idea of like gandhi having like armies like going around the world and like taking over countries and stuff
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Literally, when I hear people talk about civilization, it's always a random world figure and they took over the world somehow. I'm like, that's cool. I want to try that out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's the thing of there's good news and bad news, right? I was just telling you right before the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
But yeah, I'm with you that leaks always suck. Something like this where these, again, presumably are all canceled things. I'm interested from a... what's going on here kind of perspective, right? To get a little bit of an inside look as to, okay, Retro's working on Metroid Prime 4, right? That's about to come out this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
But there was a stretch of time where we did not know what Retro was up to. Seemingly, this project that was leaked here is it, Harmony, right? It is like this 3D platformer you're riding on different animals sort of thing. I saw the clips floating around online. I don't want to bring them up on this show because I don't want Nintendo to come after us, right? But like, I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's all interesting stuff, but also, like, cool. Like, we kind of take this information and move on with it. I think, honestly, the thing that stands out to me here the most is the Lego civilization thing, which sounds cool. I wonder if you see anything from that in the future. Right. Moving on to story number three, Gary. Switch 2 won't have achievements, Nintendo confirms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Right before the show, I was telling you about how I was at the event last week in New York and... For people that were at the event, it was tough to look online and see the details coming out as they were coming out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This is Jordan Middler at Video Games Chronicle. Switch 2 won't have a system-wide achievement system, Nintendo has confirmed. Nintendo fully revealed the Switch 2 last week, including information about the system's UI, the new game chat feature, and more. However, one feature that fans were hoping for more information on was the potential inclusion of an achievement system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
When asked by Polygon if the new system will break from Nintendo tradition and introduce system-wide rewards for playing games, Nintendo's vice president of player and product experience, Bill Trennan, said, quote, nope, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
While the system won't have console-wide achievements, two Nintendo Switch 2 edition games will have their own achievement list, though they will be relegated to a mobile app. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild will both get Switch 2 editions, as well as a new app, Zelda Notes, which will be part of the Nintendo app. Gary, a Nintendo achievement system not appearing on Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
How do you feel about that? Are you an achievement person?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yes, as we're hands-on with the thing. So I'm playing the Nintendo Switch 2, and honestly, at the event, I'm having the time of my life. I'm like, man, this slate of games looks great. Man, I love playing on the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld. I think it feels better. I like the bigger screen. I was telling you that I think the LCD screen looks great. Yeah, because that was my thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

To be fair, Greg's healed now. I don't think he's done that in years. At least he's not talked about it. Oh, I think he has. You think he's doing it on the low?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It was the thing. What was the game? Was it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
There was that. There was the mayonnaise game. Wasn't there like a Mr. Mayonnaise or My Name is Mayo or something? My Name is Mayo. My Name is Mayo.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And I think this was where me and Janet were like, what the fuck are you doing with your life? Was it a Flappy Bird type of game? Not even. Actually, I forget exactly what the gameplay was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This is where I stand, is that not every game needs achievements. I think some games could use them in the way that we're talking about. When they're designed around it, a game like Spider-Man, for example, Spider-Man is so good about its achievements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Right. And how is that good for games? And that's my thing with Nintendo is that I think Nintendo games, quite a few of them, I think could benefit from it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I think Mario games typically I think are good contenders for it. But at the same time, Nintendo is so much about play and so much about like your own experience. Here's the thing. You don't need achievements to come through and be like, okay, now I have this additional thing to chase. Here's the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And you will still get your OLED screen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And I 1,000% agree with you. But again, this comes back to the thing where I think some games could use achievement systems more than others. Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, and Breath of the Wild are getting them through the Nintendo app. And I think that's cool because I can see... That's kind of sideloaded into the experience, right? That's not actually in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's a bit sideloaded, but also that's a decision that they made. For some reason, they looked at Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom specifically and went, oh, we can add some kind of achievement thing here. My one...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's not even a problem, but I guess my one thing to elevate it would be the thing that I do like about PlayStation and Xbox achievement systems is that there's more of a social thing around them where I can go to my friend's profile and see all the achievements they've gotten. I can see on whatever feed that I'm looking at that, oh, my friend just earned this achievement.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
My friend just earned this trophy. I'll love that for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This is the reason why I say it is like Nintendo is pushing social features really hard with Nintendo Switch 2. They introduce game chat. They have a fucking camera that you can buy that I'm sure people aren't going to use in various ways.

And that's even before you get into Uno. There's going to be a different kind of jamboree going on, Gary. But here's the thing, right? is that Nintendo was pushing the social features really hard. And I don't think that stuff is going to be as, I guess, elevated by the audience as it could be without something like a passive achievement system. I think you need passive social features.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
You need a feed. You need something to where I am looking at my friends list and going, oh, I have a reason to add you even though I'm not gonna play this game with you. I just want to add you so I can see what you're playing or I can see what you're doing or I can see this thing that you shared, whether it be a screenshot or a video or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
If you're going fully on with social features, I think you need a social feed as well. And I think that includes achievements for certain games, not all games. But for certain games. I heard some of what you just said, but not all of it.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
There's a mini game in Mario Party Jamboree that I got to play at the event that's basically like, it's your camera, right? It's pointing at you. And Bowser's like, all right, move as much as you can. Like, the more movement and noise you're making, the higher the meter goes. Right. Could you imagine, like, you look to the screen and there's somebody just helicoptering?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And it's like, oh, that's how you win? Helicoptering? Yeah. Fucking hell. That's what's gonna happen. Like, we're lucky that Nintendo's not bundling in this camera with every single fucking thing.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. Sorry, what were you going to say?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Oh, I see what you're saying. You know? Yeah, honestly, you're probably right. It's not going to be random matchmaking.

uh let's move on to story number four another nintendo news story welcome tour costs ten dollars this is wesley yinpool at ign ign can now confirm that that nintendo switch to welcome tour costs 9.99 and is a digital only product that's significantly cheaper than other switch to games but ign has already reported uh to the complaints from some nintendo fans that welcome tour costs money at all
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
with many saying it should be a Switch 2 pack-in, as DualSense tech demo game Astro's Playroom was for PS5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
IGN interviewed Nintendo of America's Vice President of Product and Player Experience, Bill Trennan, at a recent Switch 2 preview event in New York, and asked him if Nintendo discussed making Welcome Tour a pack-in game, and why the company made the decision to price it as a separate digital product.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
We need to point out here that our interview with Trennan was conducted on April 3rd prior to Nintendo's announcement about delaying the Switch 3 pre-orders in the U.S. due to the potential impact of tariffs and subsequent concern that Nintendo may raise the price of the console and its games further as a result.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Trident said there's more to Welcome Tour than it appears based on the showing during the Nintendo Direct and even during recent hands-on opportunities the media had access to. Based on what's actually in the game, Nintendo decided $9.99 is, quote, is not an exorbitant price, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, I do get a little like, oh, that's satisfying. I don't like the part that's not satisfying is clicking them off because they kind of just plop off. Right. Like you press a button and then the magnet. Right. You don't get that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, exactly. And so like when it plops off, I'm like, OK, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. I mean, I agree with everything you guys are saying. My only doubles advocate thing is that, like... How many of us were going to play this thing anyway? This is one of those ones where I think, again, this is actually to your point more so that you probably would have had way more people actually booting this up and checking it out if you just packed it in. For $10...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Like, nobody's playing this, dude. Like, nobody's checking this thing out. And, like, I think even if you packed it in, like, I don't think there's a high percentage of people that are putting this up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I don't know how many. You're proving them right. I don't know how many people are going to buy this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
No, you're not. I will. No, you're not. Because Nintendo's very stingy with codes. They are, but who are you going to get a code from? Because it's not going to be us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Oh, you have a dealer. He's got a Nintendo guy. You got a Nintendo guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I was going to say, because I don't even think I'm getting a code for it. Like, we'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
but just by making it longer like what the fuck is that it's weird I'll get a card here's the thing also and again this isn't I don't want to shoot Nintendo bail here but it's more so my perception my perception of how they view it the trending quote of him saying there's more to walk on tour than it appears based on the showing from the direct and press hands on like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I'm somebody who liked Wii Play a lot on the Nintendo Wii, and I forget, I think you get that with the controller. I think that wasn't even, like, a paid thing. I think that's, like, if you, maybe it was the other way around, where if you buy it, you get a controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I digress. There could be a lot of depth here and a lot of minigames and shit to, like, really, like, drive it home. Even still, on a strategy level, you should pack this in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, you should have shown more. If there really is that much more to this, you should have shown more. And maybe they will.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I would rather spend the two months just flipping the Switch to make it free. You also don't title it Welcome Tour. No, you don't. You title it something else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Do you think there's somebody at Nintendo that was like, all right, it's a game that you're inside the Switch 2. We'll call it Inside. And then they started looking up copyright, and they're like, fuck, there's already Inside. All right, we'll call it Walking Door. They could have.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
what do you think because again this is not how you market this thing if there truly is more to it than what we're seeing I like the the Mario Brothers like 4k thing I think is really cool and I saw I rewatched the switch to direct yesterday and like there's many games and stuff that I'm like all right cool like this all reminds me of we play but we play also came with a controller so right let me buy this with a controller or something I don't know it's it's look it's dumb call it switch world says Sam G

Actually, before we even get into story number five, we got some super chats. Let's get into these. MelodicQuest writes in and says, remember when we got Wii Sports as a pack-in? Yeah. I want to, I'm very fuzzy on my history, but I feel like Reggie Fils-Aimé was the one that was like making a lot of moves to pack these things in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
But I think when you're talking about like the last like decade and a half of Nintendo, I think maybe there's not somebody there that is like being like, no, like we cannot charge this. Like we need to pack this thing in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. Granted, I don't think Welcome Tour is going to be the reason why the Switch 2 is going to explode, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
You should literally open up your Switch box and there be a little paper guide, the manual for your Switch 2, and in there just a code for Welcome Tour.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, I was going to say, I don't like that at all. Don't be like that in our chat. Fuck you even more than Nintendo. Yeah. So my first name writes in and says, Nintendo, quote, to take the sting out of the price increase to $700, we're going to give you a welcome tour for free, end quote. Could you imagine? Give me a Donkey Kong Bonanza for free.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Pack that in there if you're going to charge $700 for this thing. El Capitan 22 writes in and says, Nintendo themselves said in a report from The Verge that the original price for Switch 2 had nothing to do with tariffs. which I don't think we talked about that yet. It didn't.

I want to issue an apology to one Tim Geddes, who's right very often, where I think I had a back and forth on the show with Tim. Tim was talking about how video game movies are essentially like the next MCU, right? The next Marvel, next superhero movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And like, I kind of looked at that a bit skeptically just because I think there is something to be said about there being a universe that is controlled by Marvel and all that shit and how that works together. But... I mean, the numbers keep speaking for these video game things, right? I keep looking at all these adaptations getting greenlit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And of course, so many of these adaptations are going to fail because they greenlit... It feels like they greenlight a movie a week. A video game movie a week is what it feels like. A lot of these aren't going to do well, but I think... like I think I am discounting the amount of them that are going to actually do amazing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The fact that Minecraft is out here, even lapping Mario, Mario movie, right?

Bungie is finally ready to show us more of its upcoming PvP extraction shooter marathon with an all new gameplay live stream slated for this Saturday, April 12th. Last week, the developer dropped a mysterious tweet that included a bizarre 15-second video that immediately set fans sleuthing as part of an extensive alternative reality game.

Players realized that within the ASCII art was a snippet of footage from the initial trailer, and if they looked closely, they noticed it's the runner sprinting down a hall from the trailer. Um... Right now, Barrett has brought up the video of the trailer they released yesterday for the Save the Date for the actual livestream. I'm looking forward to this. I really like the look of it.

Man, that looks fucking great. I'm sad that they're doing this on Saturday because I would have loved to come into work and talk about this or react to it or whatever. But I'm sure we're going to have a lot to say next Monday after the trailer comes out. Also, did I miss the studio? Did you make a reference to the studio? I did. Yeah, you missed it at the time. I've seen it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Oh yes. I've been referencing that a lot actually lately because we had this conversation all the other day. I forget about what, but essentially the same idea of like, I think we're having a conversation about Astro Bot because they're talking about making an Astro Bot movie as well. Where, yeah, like it, y'all gotta, y'all gotta go watch the studio.

A lot of people are going to check out the studio. But Gary, if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go?

And then finally from Noble, Ubisoft is reportedly working on a turn-based tactics game in the Rainbow Six universe. According to Insider Gaming sources, the game is likely one or two years away from release. End quote. Just watch some XCOM gameplay if you want to get an idea. End quote. So cool. An XCOM Rainbow Six game is what they're working on over there.

Yeah, I think so. And that is it for Wii News. Before we get out of here, let me take one more look at the Super Chats. StreetShadow writes in and says, Gary, there are PvE elements from what I have heard. Oh, good. Lots of secrets and things to discover in the map, so the game is likely more PvP plus PvE combined. I believe we call that PvPvE. That's correct, yes.

I'm saving my impressions for a gamescast, but what I'll say is that the most upsetting part of this review for me is that I didn't finish the game because I was not smart enough to get there, sadly. That's my problem. I can't do puzzles. I'm 16 hours in. I played a lot of this video game. I also, Barrett, I think played this game or played through it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I just wanted to say this because I don't think I've seen anyone draw the comparison. Donkey Kong Bonanza's destruction slash mining reminds me a lot of Deep Rock Galactic. There you go. Okay.

Gary, it's become a problem. Roger's dying in the background. It's become a problem where I'm looking at these eggs and I'm like, why is it $20? Why am I paying $20 for these eggs? I just want to eat.

Today we're brought to you by BetterHelp, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin with what is, and forever will be, the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have eight stories today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And Gary, the first half of the show is going to be all about Nintendo with our first, I think, four news stories. Let's start off with story number one. Nintendo confirms Switch 2 Joy-Cons won't feature Hall Effect sticks. This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons won't feature Hall Effect analog sticks, the company has confirmed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
The long-rumored feature, which would mark a significant upgrade on the original Joy-Cons, won't be included in the launch models of the console. Hall Effect sticks, named after U.S. physicist Edwin Hall, use magnets and electrical conductors to measure the position of the stick, which make them effectively immune from drift, an issue that has affected many original Switch owners.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
When asked by Nintendo Life about the new Joy-Cons and their components, Nintendo confirmed that Hall Effect sticks would be missing. Quote, well, the Joy-Con 2's controllers have been designed from the ground up, said Nate Bildorf, Senior Vice President of Product Development and Publishing. They're not Hall Effect sticks, but hey, they feel really good. End quote. I know why I added hey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
He didn't say hey. He just said, but they feel really good. He added, quote, I like both the Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller, but that Pro Controller, for some reason, the first time I grabbed it, I was like, this feels like a GameCube controller. I was a GameCube guy. Something about it felt so similar, or sorry, it felt so familiar, but the stick on that especially, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Nintendo has claimed Switch 2's new Joy-Con analog sticks will be more durable than on Switch 1 when asked about the potential stick drift issues. Now, Gary, how deep are you into the well of Hall Effect sticks and the conversations about them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, that's the thing. It's going to be the wait and see. And I definitely understand the frustration at this, right? It's the thing of, cool, when we were talking about stick drift, the primary offenders of stick drift, right, had been the Joy-Con ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Much more noticeable on the Joy-Cons. I'll even go as far as to say maybe like a bit more widespread. I would venture to say that if you bought a Switch at launch, If I asked people, there would be a higher amount of people that would probably say they had some form of stick drift over people that didn't. It was an overall issue that people had.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
So much so that even in the VGC article, I didn't include this for the read, but they end off saying two significant lawsuits over Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift were dismissed in U.S. courts last year. A year earlier, following growing noise around the issue, Nintendo announced that it would repair all Joy-Con controllers suffering from Joy-Con drift. I'm sure that cost them a lot of money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And yeah, that had to have cost them a lot of money. It makes me think that you're right, Gary, as far as they must have a solution here that is hopefully as good as the Hall of X solution.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Again, we don't know right now. You know, they're longer because the switch is longer, right? But like, yeah, maybe I don't, and this means speaking as somebody who's not looked at the internals of what makes a Halifax thing work, right? It's not any thicker.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. To bring in a couple of super chats for you, Gnuckbo writes in and says, I know the sticks are bigger. Do we know if the radius of the stick base is also larger? I would assume if the base has a larger radius, the dead zone is bigger and drift would be less drastic. Possibly, right? Like, again, I wasn't there with the fucking measuring tape, so I couldn't tell you what the base is larger.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
The thing is the numbers are not going to get there, right? Like there's a conversation to be had, I guess it's tough to have this conversation now, not knowing what the price is going to be yet. Also, this is not knowing where the world is going to be as far as how long do these prices hold? How long do these tariffs hold? Right? Like how all this shit goes down. Uh,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
um but i do wonder how much this could spell doom for this generation of nintendo like are we going back to the pattern of like all right one fire generation one trash generation right like are we going to be talking about being back i'm not going to say back to the wii u days because like the marketing for the switch to outside of price has been very very very good but when people are looking at oh this thing is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Let's say $650. All right, we're talking about a $650 piece of hardware and $80 games. Who the fuck wants to do that, right? Like who the fuck is going to be able to keep up with that? You're not going to see the same software sales, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
The software sales that we talk about month to month for the Nintendo shit, talking about Animal Crossing hitting $50 million, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe hitting $70 million, all this shit. You're not going to see those numbers, not at these prices.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
And when you're not seeing those numbers, what does that do to Nintendo as far as what they can do, what they have to do, the changes that you have to make, what projects do we see canceled, what layoffs do we see happen from the company, right? Like, this is going to have a trickle-down effect on Nintendo in a way where what could have been the follow-up, like you're saying, to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
nintendo's most i'll say successful general console generation of all time what could have been like an effortless all right cool alley-oop to the switch to just run it back again nah man this is about to be tough it's about to be a weird generation because yeah like people aren't going to want to spend this much money to buy to buy video games it's getting out of hand

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I think it'll be in a fascinating wait and see to see how companies try to adjust and how companies try to spread prices out to figure out how to make up for these prices jumping up. But, yeah, like, shit is going to get bad. And, yeah, to your point, yeah, like, the Nintendo thing is not just going to be Nintendo affected, right? But, like... I don't think it's good for anybody.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I think, I mean, to that point, you're going to see, I think, the problems that we already have compound into, I think, the Matt Piscitello conversation of... And the conversation that I've seen gamesindustry.biz and plenty of other folks have as far as how many people have... How many of the gaming audience are playing games that are older than six years old or whatever, right? Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25

A lot of people coming up who are interested in video games, they are way more interested in PC gaming now more than ever. And when we're talking about a company, I'm going on a track, but stick with me, right?

cool, I can spend more money for skins or whatever, right? But like, hey, at least out of all the games, this is the thing that I have access to because either I'm playing this or I am spending $700 on my Nintendo Switch 2 and $80 to play a Donkey Kong.

I mean, I think it would define how you... I think it depends on how you define collapse. I think you might see another dark times in the industry. But I think it's the thing where you always see shit in waves, right? Like, there are good times, and then there are bad times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Right now, we are on our way... Well, I mean, we've already kind of... We've already been in a fucking terrible time for the last...

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
five years and I'm saying we're gonna get worse like you are gonna see this shit get worse before it gets better and I'm very fascinated like one of the questions I asked I forget if I asked Adam Boyes this actually was like what does I think I did what does a healthy video games industry look like and like one of the things that he talked about was the fact that like yeah like you have to see you see things adjust right you see things change right like economy changes the way people interact with video games changes trends change all this shit and things need to adjust to it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I think that makes perfect sense. And this is what I'll say, is that I had the time of my life this week. Me too. I think for me and you, and you've been in the industry for decades. You've been in the industry for a very long time at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yeah, like, things are changing right now, and things are getting fucking worse right now because of the tariffs, because of the mix of bad economy, bad politics going on, and shit just getting expensive in terms of video games becoming more complex, more expensive to make, all this shit. We're going to get out of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
We're going to get to the other side, but shit is going to get bad before it gets there.

Oh, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
And so we have a... But I think, again, it's like, I think it's an adjustment, right? I think you're going to see companies maybe do the right thing of, all right, we got to scale towards worse PCs. Like, we got to make sure we can scale towards the things that people actually have. That way we can make those games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Like, the sucky thing is, this might mean, and again, the way that this is going to affect everything. Because I want to say, this might mean you invest even more in mobile gaming because people are going to have more access to that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yes. And like for me, right? Like I started my first podcast like 10 years ago, but like, Oh my God. No, I'm over halfway through the second one. Oh, you're getting old. You're getting old. Sorry.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yeah, but the fact is that people will always need smartphones, right? And like, maybe you aren't getting the high-end smartphone. Maybe you're getting the mid-end smartphone. But I think on the software side, if you're a game developer, you might have to start making that your target because a lot of people are going to own those. Like, there's going to be so many dominoes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
That's the thing is we just saw so many dominoes get created before our eyes of the juice coming out in the last day. Right. And like shit is going to have to, people are going to have to adjust. Developers are going to have to adjust. And I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm not saying that's like a, Oh man, you just gotta get with it.

And I'm saying that is a path, right? Again, I don't think all paths are going to be a thing of like, oh yeah, just go free-to-play. That's going to fix everything. I am saying you cannot keep putting out games for $80 on the most expensive platforms and expect to hit the same sales. So you're going to have to do other shit.

And there's something that I think episode one does where, as I'm watching, I'm like, man, I should boot back up Devil May Cry. Like, there's something about this world that really works that is just, like... Dude, just give a dude a sword and some guns.

Ebony and ivory. Just, like, you know, let me slash up some demons. And I appreciate it. The story premise reminded me of Yu Yu Hakusho as well. Just as far as, like, there's a demon world. Demons are coming through. You got to stop them. The fucking portal. Not that it opens too much, but, like, certain demons can't come through because they're too big to make it through the portal.

I believe you. It was nice to see Marathon take over, not just the Marathon page, but then I believe the official PlayStation accounts also changed their banners and the PlayStation blog as well. They're trying to build up to something. I hope we get there as far as getting hype up because I can't imagine any other PlayStation game right now that has, I guess, more people against it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Because I don't want to say there's not hype for Marathon because I do think that Bungie has a separate audience that is excited for whatever they put out. But coming off of Concord and coming off of just general vibes, people are not into the ongoing multiplayer strategy that PlayStation has been trying to attempt. And so I'm very fascinated to see whatever this is,

oh okay this is not what not that concord ended i forget where concord was but like it started just did it start the state of play yeah it was the state of play essentially that can't be how you present this thing like you gotta i them teasing it outside of any word of an upcoming state of play gives me more confidence already than concord this needs to be its own thing it needs to have its own beat and yeah like i like you said right i think for me the biggest complaint the biggest fault with concord was that they showed and they didn't let people tell

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
and when you just show a multiplayer game and go oh yeah you'll have different heroes and they'll have abilities and it'll be this it'll be that right we watch it and we go all right cool like i don't know really what to make of this also the characters look generic but if you get this into the hands of people hopefully you have the i don't know the bungee creators of the world or like you have the ign previewers of the world be like yo this is something that you should check out it's all stuff i i hope that's what they do this time around yeah me too me too

However, man, I wish that, like, in that reveal trailer that we got, the idea of a Switch 2, like, full-fledged single-player from software thing, single-player in the loose sense, obviously there's multiplayer in it, but that would have been such a, damn, like, you got him. And I'm still like, damn, like, you got it. But, I don't know, it's just a weird thing to balance for me.

Here's the thing, Tim. Because you had opinions last year and a couple years prior about the design of Astro Bot. And as time has gone on, I think I've come around to your side. No! I'm not as extreme as Tim about it. I don't think Astro Bot is ugly. I don't think Astro Bot is like, oh, I don't want to.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
In terms of gameplay, right? Like, that's the thing is, they've nailed everything with Astro Bot, except for maybe, like, I don't know, a little bit of... a little bit of a pizzazz. You know what I mean? Like, get some better villains in there. I don't want this fucking green alien guy. Now, I say that to say that an Astro Bot movie or TV show or an adaptation, I am not...

as excited about it unless they do the thing where they have all the different PlayStation characters represented as Astrobots.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yeah. I think my main worry with that is, of course, PlayStation, very popular brand. Everybody knows what PlayStation is. But is it so powerful that you can make a movie about the PlayStation console itself? Can you make a PlayStation a character in that way? I mean, I think we're there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I think you can only do that with something like it's funny watching the studio the Apple TV Plus show last week because like this gives me hints of the of the first episode of that where it is like what kind of IP what kind of brand makes sense like what kind of brain do people have that connection with right I think Barbie is such a good example of like all right there's a character there there's a like generational like many generations of Barbie all this shit right
