Chapter 2: What news is breaking about the upcoming Nintendo Direct?
That'd be cool. That'd be a good lineage.
That would be a good lineage. Have you ever listened to a J. Cole song? Probably. Do you know anything about him?
Chapter 3: What impact do the recent Amazon layoffs have on the gaming industry?
No.
Is he a good guy?
Sure.
Is he a good guy, Roger? Is he a good guy? I mean, well, he was part of the rap beef.
If I Google J. Cole controversies. I'm sure.
But he slapped Diddy. He was one of the first people that like are the only rappers in the world that like beat the fuck out of Diddy. And like he was had a beef with him before everything blew up.
Okay. So he's on the right side of history there.
Which I'm surprised that 50 Cent didn't try to throw into the documentary.
Sure. Greg, how are you doing? Good. How are you? I'm ready.

Chapter 4: What censorship issues are affecting the game Dispatch on Switch?
That's the thing where it's like there's a lot of ether and there's a lot of games that I would say are that B tier. We need the A tier. We need the S tier. And you need Nintendo to come out and tease that because they had a great year last year for the Switch 2. So what do you come out here and toss your way?
What do you toss our way to get us excited and keep us excited to have our Switches in our hands? And again, I think as Nintendo continues to make such... strides with the Switch 2 and third-party support. One of the big things we talked about at the launch of the Switch 2 was the fact that third-parties didn't have dev kits. Well, now they have. What do you have? What have you been working on?
What are the games that haven't come to Switch 2 yet that could have a great addition to it? What are the ones that you look at and go, okay... We are already coming out this year. What can we announce as a Switch 2 version of that? I was talking about yesterday, the Reigns Witcher got me back into the Witcher and playing the Witcher. Witcher 3 doesn't have a Switch 2 version.
I could easily see that being a slam dunk announcement from them of like, hey, now Witcher 3 does have a Switch 2 version. It runs at whatever frames and does this dock and yada, yada, yada.
A big one for me is Minecraft 2. That's an easy... I'm sorry, Minecraft. Switch 2, not Minecraft 2. That's Hytale.
Minecraft 2 would be big news, I agree.
But Minecraft Switch 2, that's an easy slam dunk for, I think, an early this year announcement. I mean, that's a big one right there. But yeah, of course, you want to... build it out with those Switch 2 updates. But yeah, I am very interested in as something that a super chat right here from BanderSN says, Luigi's Mansion 4 out this October takes place in a haunted Peach Castle.
Levels are spooky versions of Mario 64 levels. Last level is a big booze haunt. Something like that, I think, would kind of go hard. Do you think it's about time for like a Luigi's Mansion type deal?
When was Luigi's Mansion 3? I reviewed that. I know we then had Luigi's Mansion 2 Remaster HD, whatever the fuck that was. I reviewed that one as well. I think the time is always right for another Ghostbusting Luigi's Mansion game.

Chapter 5: How are Ubisoft unions responding to company restructuring?
2019, chat's saying? 2019, thank you very much. So yeah, that could easily be something you slot in here. But again... I don't know what it is, but I feel like you need a Mario title game in there. Not a Mario. I don't think Mario 3D. I agree. Wonders getting updated. So I don't even know if it's just a Mario.
golf let me know we got tennis like yeah I feel like it can't be a sports thing it has to be its own thing yeah but we've also had yeah Mario Galaxy 2 Mario Galaxy 2 being already remastered and out there just kind of like fucks up the whole thing for me because I would have predicted like oh we remake one of those games yeah but what are the odds of a new Mario RPG You think so? I don't know.
I'm tossing.
I mean, you're right. I don't think we put them both. I do not think we're getting a 2d. Ah, rusty pond. You son of a bitch. There it is. Mario maker three. I've been talking about it since they showed that fucking mouse controls and all that jazz. Mario maker, Mario maker in general. Amazing. Mario maker two, for some reason, didn't feel like it had the impact. Mario maker one did you put out?
Hey, here it is. Mario maker three. And there's new levels and there's new whatever in there.
And it's 3d.

Chapter 6: What is the latest update on Just Dance Plus pricing changes?
And you could do it in 3D. That would be, that would fucking blow everything out of the world. That would blow it away.
That would blow it away. They would never fucking do that. But I think with the Switch 2's power and the mouse controls and even, I mean, it would be lame, but a Mario Maker 2 Switch 2 edition. Yeah. Like, I really think there's juice there somewhere if people would let them get out there and go.
to few super chats over here for more predictions if they hold on to and then mental gaming says hear me out zelda maker i don't need to hear you out i'm in go ahead make me a zelda maker i obviously we're making like a 2d zelda you know what i mean fuck yeah let's go back to you roger
This is big from Aaron Lime. Super chat and say, Nintendo is announcing my parents are getting back together and the Tooth Fairy's real. By that, I mean we're getting the next MGS collection with MGS4.
No way. No fucking way. They don't know.
Never at a Nintendo event, no. And also that game is, yeah, I don't think that's happening anytime soon.
I wish. I mean, I'll take that anywhere I can get it. Peace, Walker. Let's go.
Openness Prime says, if they updated DKCR, that's Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Chapter 7: What teases have been made by the Silent Hill 2 remake studio?
Returns. Returns. We're getting Odyssey S2 edition. Play as Luigi, New World. Also remember when Greg threw Baby Ben over his shoulder the first time we saw him. Does Tim have the balls?
Well, we know Tim doesn't have the balls. So no, that wouldn't happen. That wouldn't happen. You know what I mean?
Interesting with the Switch 2 editions is we already have a free update. That's like where we get into that weird bag of like, sure, I guess we could do DLC, but we already have just the free update there. So I mean, why didn't they just wait on that one?
yeah yeah yeah I feel too like to what we're talking about as we look into this black hole of Nintendo yeah it's got to be it can't I don't want they can't be leading us on for the rest of the year on a switch to addition Switch 2 editions are cool. I'm glad they exist. I'm going to play Tears of the Kingdom that way soon.
But I'm not sitting here going like, oh yeah, Super Mario Galaxy, or I'm sorry, Mario Odyssey Switch 2 edition is what's coming sometime later in the year and that gets me hyped to be a Nintendo fan. No.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the We News segment in this episode?
Like, we need something new. You need something cool. And it's like, oh, Mario Maker 3, Luigi's Mansion 4. Sure. But again, even Luigi's Mansion, which gets its just due, doesn't get the pomp and circumstance of a million other games. You know what I mean? So it's like, no. Yeah. Bear, can you run the Yoshi thing that you're talking about? Because I remember it, but I forgot about it as well.
Yeah. It kind of has a little bit of a stop motion.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't have, like, super exciting hopes for that one, but, I mean, it's going to be a cute little kid's game.
Jake says Wind Waker HD. Somebody else in the... Sorry, it was Super Chat. Animotions1000 said, what are the chances of a new mainline Zelda?
No.
Very low. No. Maybe like another Link's Awakening kind of thing. But then we're into just what we were talking about before of, all right, here's an Ocarina remake.
Yeah, like I would say almost like a way to play Link Between Worlds on the Switch is way more likely than a new Zelda game in the next three years.
Yeah, yeah, 100%. I forgot about this Yoshi, right? You're right, they're going to do stuff with it.
