DK Bananza is fun, but I haven't played it much since I bought it. I've been playing Switch games that run better on Switch 2. 7:23 PM@Sheekago​​I did also just get the new Fire Emblem 7:24 PM@jaredknisely6213​​if you are dragging it out, we already know the answer buddy 7:24 PM@Sheekago​​Please don't make it be a cliffhanger and you reveal on your next podcast if you got the new Switch 2. Same Andrew time, same Andrew channel... 7:24 PM@eathdemon​​im sorry im too much of a ppokemon mark 7:25 PM@eathdemon​​so I brought it last dec 7:25 PM@Sheekago​​Splatoon Raiders looks like they just took Salmon Run from Splatoon and made it it's own game. No thank you. 7:25 PM@eathdemon​​nope oot is prity much one to one for your taste 7:26 PM@Sheekago​​Welcome Tour I think? 7:27 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I haven’t played anything in almost a year, just haven’t had the time. 7:29 PM@eathdemon​​in my case it is b/c I have a gamming pc lol 7:30 PM@Sheekago​​The new Joy Cons are better... but I still use my Switch Pro controller instead. 7:30 PM@Sheekago​​They still feel too small and uncomfortable. 7:30 PM@LeeShowrons​​Hey 7:31 PM@Sheekago​​Mario Galaxy 3? 7:31 PM@LeeShowrons​​yeah, and I wish they could just stick with one console so I don’t have to keep buying new ones. 7:32 PM@Sheekago​​Can you see the sweat glimmering on the avatar in Fitness Boxing Switch 2 Edition? 7:32 PM@LeeShowrons​​I doubt we’re gonna get a Mario galaxy three. I would want a Mario Odyssey 2 7:33 PM@Sheekago​​Yeah, I want to replay Link's Awakening on Switch 2 eventually. 7:33 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Plus now you have Metroid Ravenous to look forward to. 7:34 PM@LeeShowrons​​well, for me, the direct was disappointing 7:34 PM@Sheekago​​@addictedtochaos2 Metroid Ravenous definitely on my wishlist 7:34 PM@eathdemon​​oot remake largly what I wanted which was oot modern controls. 7:35 PM@eathdemon​​all I ever wanted was analog comera controls, and I got that lol 7:35 PM@Sheekago​​I hope they added a few new things to OoT Remake. 1:1 remake would be boring, to me. 7:35 PM@eathdemon​​yp its a good dinasor planet lol 7:36 PM@Sheekago​​Humming the tunes to activate the ocarina is not enough to make it feel fresh to me 7:36 PM@LeeShowrons​​it’s not that many switch 2 first party exclusive yet 7:38 PM@LeeShowrons​​A lot of people are most likely going to switch over to the switch if Sony keeps with digital only 7:38 PM@eathdemon​​I think dongons are guna be prity simaler to the og 7:40 PM@eathdemon​​it will be a bit the 3d mario team was the one that made donkey kong bananxa 7:45 PM@Sheekago​​I always tried to match the tempo of the song. I like the idea of immersion, but add more things to make it feel fresh. 7:45 PM@eathdemon​​hate to be the barrer of bad news, most cartages are just key cards 7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Most third party games from the big publishers are key cards, oddly enough smaller publishers are more often complete on cart. 7:46 PM@LeeShowrons​​well, game key cards are still shareable and physical 7:46 PM@Sheekago​​@eathdemon Not all cartridges are Key cards. Nintendo is having all their games (except Pokopia) full on cart. Capcom though, all their games feel like key carts. 7:48 PM@eathdemon​​I think link looking like a doll is a bit weird, but otherwise im ok with it 7:48 PM@Sheekago​​He's sweating from all the pressure of saving Hyrule. 7:49 PM@Sheekago​​Maybe Hyrule is in England? So much fog, rain and just bleak looking. 7:50 PM@Sheekago​​YES. They went overboard with all the detail they added to Link. 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I forget what it is called, but they appear to be based on a type of puppet. 7:51 PM@Sheekago​​I'm surprised they didn't add pimples to Link, 5 o'clock shadow to adult Link. Maybe pit stains on his clothes. 7:52 PM@humanoidcorn4476​​[message retracted] 7:52 PM@eathdemon​​even if thats true they messed up kinda b/c he is hyrulen, not from the farost lol 7:53 PM@Sheekago​​Link is dead inside from not having a fairy so long/ 7:54 PM@Sheekago​​The redead, the ones that lock you in place with the screams 7:56 PM@eathdemon​​not intreasted in kirby :) 7:57 PM@Sheekago​​Kirby definitely looked interesting. It reminded me of that Jim Carrey movie, The Truman Show 7:59 PM@Sheekago​​You have to give thumb wresting in Switch Sports Re... ah who man I kidding. It looked boring as hell. 8:00 PM@Sheekago​​LOL 8:00 PM@Sheekago​​I KNEW IT 8:01 PM@Sheekago​​I was on the fence too, but I'm a Nintendo Fan. I couldn't resist. 8:02 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter just came out on Switch 2, complete on cart. 8:02 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Donkey Kong will eventually go on sale. 8:03 PM@Sheekago​​The Switch Nintendo games are on sale 30% off in their Customer Appreciation sale. Switch 2 games are not. They don't appreciate us THAT much. 8:04 PM@Sheekago​​Mario Wonder, Kirby and the Forgotten World have $20 upgrades. I don't know about Pikmin 4. 8:05 PM@Sheekago​​Onimusha IS on Switch 2 8:07 PM@addictedtochaos2​​They are $20 because they came with extra content as well. 8:08 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Jean Reno 8:09 PM@jaredknisely6213​​so shilling out 500 for the zelda version 8:09 PM@jaredknisely6213​​was not in the plans 8:10 PM@Sheekago​​I didn't think Mario Wonder's extra content was good enough for the $20. Kirby, maybe worth it, but I haven't gotten it. 8:11 PM@eathdemon​​use that window ac :) 8:12 PM@Sheekago​​I had Amazon gift cards and only paid $30 out of pocket for Switch 2.

Chat Transcript: 6:58 PM@eathdemon​​11 days til sky 2nd chapter remake lol 6:59 PM@eathdemon​​also zelda direct on tuesday 7:00 PM@eathdemon​​zelda 40th anaversory tuesday and genaral direct wensday 7:01 PM@eathdemon​​im looking foword to oot remake, yes im going to buy one game I consider one of the best of all time lol 7:01 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I have to admit, gaming has pretty much lost all its appeal for me. 7:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I think that was a preorder bonus. I do not recall which game. 7:05 PM@eathdemon​​its being made by monilith aparently 7:09 PM@eathdemon​​we know that, the avrage person does not 7:10 PM@eathdemon​​skeets lol which is a awful name lol 7:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Skeets only works if it is in relation to Booster Gold. 7:13 PM@eathdemon​​if this makes it to trial sony loses, b/c while we know we are not buying the game, most dont 7:13 PM@jaredknisely6213​​they wont be in the right when they will be the only publisher that views it that way 7:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​as in of the big 3, they view digital differently 7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​Microsoft recently stated that the game licenses were basically owned by the account 7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​through the disc to digital statement 7:21 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Nearly the entire industry is in a race to the bottom. 7:27 PM@addictedtochaos2​​This is why I buy physical games. 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​yes if you ignore nintendo 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​their sales are 70-30 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​or higher 7:33 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Take into consideration the massive amount of indie games that don’t get a physical release, they count the “free” games claimed on PS+ as a digital sale. And their own first party games tend… 7:33 PM@addictedtochaos2​​To sell more physical than digital, with MLB the Show being the outlier. 7:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​you also have to remove the pc market since 99.9%of the sales are digital 7:37 PM@jaredknisely6213​​what i meant was Nintendo sales are heavily physical tilted 7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My backlog will last me the rest of my life, but at this point I have no motivation to actually play any of them. 7:43 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The problem with Game-Key Cards is that it is largely the big publishers that are using them, the smaller ones (so far at least) are using actual game cards. 7:50 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Every UBISOFT, EA, Square, Bandai Namco, game on Switch 2 has been a key card, Atari, Marvellous, and a few others have been complete on cart games. 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I saw Coyote Vs. Acme. It was fun. 7:55 PM@artoflynndylee​​I hope to see Cayote vs. Acme released here in the theaters. 7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Rise of Skywalker was bad due to The Last Jedi writing them into a corner. 8:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The mistake they made was not planning out the entire trilogy in advance. 8:15 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Not planning it out, is why The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker turned out the way they did. 8:17 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It was because they were trying to undo the damage caused by The Last Jedi but their hands were tied. 8:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​chaos you cant convince him when he like last jedi 8:20 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Yes it did, I will die on that hill. 8:20 PM@jaredknisely6213​​well, it did it killed luks 8:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​luke's character 8:23 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The Last Jedi was a complete character assassination of Luke. 8:23 PM@addictedtochaos2​​One of the greatest movie heroes of all time, reduced to that. 8:23 PM@artoflynndylee​​Luke died? Sorry don't really watch Star Wars. Only here and there 8:31 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Obi Wan and Yoda were in hiding because they were being hunted. 8:31 PM@artoflynndylee​​Forced too hard?!?! LMAO! 8:34 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Agreed 8:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​he is referring to a hero that wanted to save his fallen father 8:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​but as soon as he sees another family member go down the wrong path.... time to ice him 8:35 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Correct Jared

Just got off work, hope you’re doing well. 7:14 PM@addictedtochaos2​​[message retracted] 7:14 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Haven’t seen Topper in quite a while. 7:15 PM@addictedtochaos2​​And the sequel Topper Returns. Never saw the third one. 7:17 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My dad had them on VHS when I was growing up. 7:19 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I think they were in color. 7:25 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I think it would depend on who is doing the lower lip bite thing. 7:27 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Better than closing it with something like “Highguard” like the Game Awards, it only lasted for a few weeks before it got shut down. 7:31 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Out of focus 7:32 PM@addictedtochaos2​​[message retracted] 7:32 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I only buy physical games, I preordered 7 games today. 7:53 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I immediately lost all interest in GTA VI was it was announced to be digital only. 7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The UI looks like GTA V. 7:57 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i honestly dont get why people care about gta 6 being digital only 7:57 PM@jaredknisely6213​​the game is a live service game 7:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Michael and Trevor used to be running buddies for heists, but then Michael (spoilers) faked his death. 8:01 PM@addictedtochaos2​​GTA V online is live service, everyone assumes VI will have an online mode, but so far there has been no mention of it. 8:02 PM@LuisJavierc.m.6152​​yep
