On today's gaming news, rumors of a new Switch 2 model, Division 3's director leaves for Battlefield Studios, and New World Aeternum is going offline this year. We'll have all that and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.
What's up, everybody, and welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Friday, January 16th, 2026. I'm one of your show hosts, Snowbike Mike, and we're back with an ex-cast reunion of Friday with your favorites, Gary Whitta. What up, Gary? Gary, you look good. Thank you. You know, I lost quite a bit of weight over the past several months. I know you've been killing it on the weight loss. You know what else it is? It's the glasses. Those thick frames are doing it for you.
What impact does Julian Gerighty's departure from Ubisoft have on The Division 3?
Yeah, I thought so. I thought they were a little too Austin Powers when I first got them. Yeah. And some people don't like them because these are the metas. And these are the ones that have the wristband, right? So I can do kind of gestures and, like, shit will show up. I'm like fucking Iron Man right now. That's so cool. I've got, like, all kinds of HUD.
When I think Gary Witt, I think that guy's got a HUD that he's looking at us with.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm always looking at the hood.
So that's why they're so thick.
Yeah, because they have to fit in all the privacy-invading bullshit Zuckerberg surveillance state Palantir technology.
Gary, it's great to see you. You and I haven't been together in quite some time.
Why is Amazon Games shutting down New World: Aeternum in 2027?
I have a lot to tell you. The way my heart lifted when I came in this morning and I said to Greg, who am I on with today? And he said, Mike. I was like, oh. And we get some fun.
Back together.
What details are revealed about the new LEGO Legend of Zelda set?
Because, Gary, I got a lot of gaming stuff on my mind. One of them leading the charge, Xbox developer underscore direct next week. Yeah, I'm coming in for that.
What was announced during Wee News?
I'm going to be here. Back together. We're going to see union. Fable and Forza Horizon in Japan.
Let's fucking hope it isn't an Elcast reunion.
No Elcast.
Where are the vibes right now, Mike? Are they off? Are they on Xbox vibes?
How can fans participate in SuperChats and You're Wrong segments?
For Xbox? Yeah.
And where are they going to be after Friday?
They're back on?
No, they're off. Oh, they're off.
They're just slightly off. What's it going to take to flip that vibe switch from off to on?
Fable's showing really cool.
Yeah. Forza Horizon hitting you with exactly what you want to see. The thing about it, what's interesting is that we, because those are the two banner games that we know about, right? I mean, there could be something we don't know about. That's always exciting. I know Paris is always holding out the fucking Banjo-Kazooie. Yeah. Never going to happen, by the way. But, so it's interesting, right? Forza Horizon 6, I'm very excited about that. For the longest time, I have been saying, like, can you please... bring this game to Japan, right? It makes total, like, it's a box that is just waiting to be checked. You've been to all these other cool places, but come on, Japan, right? Beautiful countryside, Mount Fuji, beautiful rolling hills, but also, you know, Tokyo, Akihabara, fucking Tokyo drift, drifting around those corners.
It was always going to happen. So I'm glad they've gone there. What's interesting is like, I'm sure it's going to look great, right? Because these Forza games, they always do look great. But it's very unlikely we're going to be... Yep, that is an awesome-looking Forza game set in Japan. There's not going to be any big curveballs in that one, right? No, no, no. But with Fable... Obviously, again, we know what kind of game it's going to be because there's been a long history of these games, but we still haven't seen that much of it. Even though we've seen nothing of Forza Horizon, you can imagine. We know what it's going to look like. It's not like Forza in Japan, and that's going to be great.
