Today, in the nerdy news you need to know about, the dominoes are finally falling for Xbox. We're going to talk about the fact that Mario Kart World almost was a Switch 1 game, and the fact that a PlayStation Studio was chasing generative AI. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. What's up, everybody. Welcome to kind of funny games daily for Wednesday, May 21st, 2025. My father's 75th birthday. Oh, wow.
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. The bicentennial birthday.
No.
There has to be some name, right?
I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside Forbes 30 Under 30, a.k.a. The Married One, a.k.a. Game Showdown Season 3 runner-up at Tim Getty's.
Big fan of second place, you know? Sure you are. Second best baby blues. Sure you are. Number two in Game Showdown Season 3.
Let's call it like we see it. Let's address it at the top of the show, everybody. There's too much video game news today. It's true. Okay? This show, I thought, was built last night when I was assembling it last night. And in the afternoon, I started building. I'm like, oh, man, there's so much games. It's already locked in. Then I woke up this morning with Ben, 545. What the fuck, Ben? He wanted to play some Hot Wheels out there. I was like, oh. And I looked. There was more news. I'm like, okay, well, now the show is really done. And then... Throughout the next five hours, news has continued to come at an alarming rate. Most of it good news. Most of it good news. Good. Now, if that wasn't enough, we already have an agreed upon exclusive announcement, Tim. Exclusive.
As you know, Tim, world premiere. Kind of Funny Loves Magic the Gathering. The reason we love Magic the Gathering is me, Greg Miller. Of course, long ago, stick with me. I'm not wrong on this one. This is true. Long ago, the Magic folks reached out and said, we're doing a crossover with Ghostbusters. Do you want to exclusively reveal some Ghostbuster cards? I said, yes. They sent me the cards. Blessing was like, this looks really cool. Mike was like, I used to play Magic all the time. Get me Magic cards. And Blessing was like, well, I'd like to try. And so then we got that. We did a stream. We all fell in love with Magic, myself included. I've just been too busy to actually commit like Blessing is, who's obsessed and obscenely obsessed with it. Mike as well.
And Magic's taken over the office. It took me over. We just did a stream a couple days ago. They played in the lunchroom. Why did you do a stream? Final Fantasy, baby. That's right, everybody. Of course, Final Fantasy is also crossing over with Magic the Gathering. The entire Final Fantasy saga is here June 13th. The beloved Final Fantasy RPG series, 16 mainline games of unforgettable characters, items, and moments are now here in Magic the Gathering. This is not a sponsored thing. In the same vein of the Ghostbusters thing, they said, do you want to reveal exclusively? Yes, we do. Magic the Gathering cards. And I said, well... Sure. I mean, I'm not the Final Fantasy guy, but Tim Geddes is. I am.
It's true. So, ladies, gentlemen, and NBs, we have five brand new Magic the Gathering cards to reveal. Barrett, please reveal the first one. Baron, Airship Kingdom. Which one is this one from, Greg? I'm quizzing you, sir. I'm quizzing you, sir. And actually, it's written at the bottom of the card. If you would have just given me five seconds to cheat. baron airship kingdom of land uh town this land enters tapped the advent of the airship marked the realization of baron's dreams but also the birth of its militarism did you know that when you saw it when did you oh baron you're like oh no no i'm not i'm not too big of a four guy but i mean it makes sense i have played the intro to four many many times you play the intro many times yeah and you can see the intro at the top left right there i think with all the ships okay
I'm a little bit more pixelated in the game. I'm sure it is. Final Fantasy 2 in the West. You're such a dork.
Can we please see the second card to reveal today? This is going? Gone?
