But the Games Daily Before Summer Game Fest Showcase. Usually just full of leaks from the showcase, and it just takes all of the fun out of the showcase. So I am stoked that it's a slow news day right now.

So I don't want to go too long on this because we do have new stories to get to, and we will do a pre-show and all of that. Not even get into your hype levels for Summer Game Fest. Your kind of expectations based on Jeff recently. Where are you at? Because Jeff's usually out here tempering expectations, being like, hey, we have some great stuff from indie games all the way up.

But, you know, there's indie games. And he kind of, like, tries to put a bunch of words. This whole week, every time he's tweeted about Summer Game Fest and the Switch 2, he's very much just been like, oh, man, what a week this is. Okay.

That's another one in line with what I'm saying, though. Their tweet didn't do the whole, we're talking about PSVR 2 games, and we're talking about whatever. So, again, I don't think this is going to be like... last year's Game Awards-level Keeley show at all. I think it's going to be a B+, A-. A- would be shocking to me.

Yeah, one of the unicorn games, like one of the big dogs. But on top of that, like there are a lot of potential shadow drops today. Mark Raiders, right, being one of them? There's been a lot of buzz about that. I think you were the one buzzing in my ear about that.

Again, I feel like there's a good energy of people wanting to talk about games, watch stuff about games and play games. So, yeah, give give them some stuff to play. Roger, can we get the YouTube chat up when you have? Oh, yeah, of course. Thank you very much. I would appreciate that. Let's get into story number one. Princess Peach's voice actor of 18 years confirmed she's been replaced.

Kelly first voiced Peach in the 2007 Wii game Mario Strikers Charged, which is amazing, and has continued to provide the character's voice in the years since, including 2024's Princess Peach Showtime. Writing on Instagram on Friday, Kelly said that Nintendo informed her this week of its decision to recast the roles of Peach and Toad, who she had also voiced for many years.

Thank you for so many years of friendship and joy. I'm sad that it's over. I truly would have wanted to voice Peach and Toad forever. Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast these roles. I'm grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter who voices them. So much love.
