Chat Transcript:

7:01 PMCafeFox​I lived in this apartment where we had this board on the floor of my bedroom that would make a popping noise and the woman downstairs would always get p***** off whenever she would hear it

7:01 PMCafeFox​hey andrew

7:06 PMaddictedtochaos​The Wii was a little more than an original Xbox.

7:06 PMSheekago​Evening all

7:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Part of me wishes I only had one shelving unit of games.

7:08 PMSheekago​Nintendo, disappointing fans since the Wii days.

7:11 PMaddictedtochaos​The Wii U was the most powerful console on the market at release, would only last for a year.

7:12 PMaddictedtochaos​Yeah, look at Black Ops 2 running on PS3 and Wii U side by side, there is a big difference.

7:13 PMSheekago​I loved the "For everything but Wii U" videos.

7:14 PMaddictedtochaos​Still impressive when considering how small the Switch actually is.

7:14 PMCafeFox​God, has been 10 years since the WiiU came out?

7:14 PMSheekago​Nintendo is greedy. "We'll make a new console, but we're not going to get cutting edge hardware. We'll loose money on it."

7:15 PMSheekago​Super Switch Advance U

7:16 PMSheekago​I hated how everyone would say Wii U didn't have any good games. Then Switch ported them over and people love them.

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​Part of the Switch’s success is due to great 3rd party support. In order to get continued support from 3rd parties the successor to the Switch will need to be at least as powerful as an Xbox Series S.

7:18 PMSheekago​Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water is a Wii U game I wanted... just not for $50. I don't want it for the other consoles.

7:18 PMCafeFox​Breath of the wild is still gonna be $60 when Tears of the Kingdom comes out

7:18 PMaddictedtochaos​Breath of the Wild has at least been on sale several times. Currently $40.

7:20 PMSheekago​There was a Dead Space on rail shooter on Wii

7:20 PMSheekago​Yes, Dead Space Extraction, that's the one

7:22 PMSheekago​Off the top of my head, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Paper Mario Color Splash, Nintendoland. I don't know if there are more that didn't get ported.

7:23 PMSheekago​Some of us don't have PS cuz we broke.

7:27 PMSheekago​That's why we have to settle for some of the lower quality games on Switch

7:28 PMSheekago​Yes, improved visuals improve games. Look at Metroid Prime Remastered.

7:32 PMSheekago​Nintendo: "We don't speak about Wii U."

7:34 PMSheekago​Nintendo is getting really greedy. $70 for a game on a 6 year old console... Eat a richard

7:35 PMSheekago​Zelda $70: Tears of the fans

7:37 PMCafeFox​@sheek And from what I can tell, the game seems like its is just a big DLC upgrade to breath of the wild

7:37 PMaddictedtochaos​At least it comes with the game. The collector’s edition of Horizon Forbidden West didn’t come with a physical copy of the game.

7:38 PMSheekago​@Cafefox someone theorized that it might be $70 because it probably has to be on a 32GB cartridge. Those cost more to make... but I'm sure digital will still be $70

7:38 PMSheekago​Paper Mario Origami King

7:39 PMaddictedtochaos​The quality of life improvements seems like they were done with Andrew in mind, lol.

7:40 PMCafeFox​Wow,

In this episode: PedantiCat returns to talk about shipping! No, not the kind involving freight...

In this episode: Mmmm, salami...

In this episode: time to take a Spinball Whizzer.

Not much shorter, but shorter. Maybe.

0:00 - AI: The Somnium Files vs Person 5. Better pacing vs better gameplay. Who wins?

34:01 - Some new DC movies and TV shows were announced. Would you be surprised to learn I have opinions and I'm not shy about sharing them?

7:04 PMLee Showron​I don’t like them kind of games

7:06 PMLee Showron​Sounds like something

7:07 PMeathdemon​its not a pacing issue, persona games are about developing relationships

7:12 PMcatwoe​hi andrew, just tuned in, what game are you talking about?
