Switch it Up

Apologies in advance, but allergies had Tyler and I in a chokehold. Him the sniffles and I the drowsy medicine, but we powered through. New Pokemon Snap has a mixed reception and maybe that's because new players don't really know what Pokemon Snap is. Nintendo said they'll pursue animation projects beyond the Mario movie, which got us thinking: What IPs could pull that off? Miitopia demo, our favorite comfort games, and I finally saw the Sonic movie....so we talked about it again.

Sorry, I don't know what came over me. We've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem Heroes and New Pokemon Snap releases this week. How will it do? Better then Age of Calamity, we think. What would be the best indie rep in Smash Brothers that isn't Steve, what makes the franchises we know and love today successful, and the final half hour is console remaster and Sonic movie rambling. We enjoyed this one.

Indieworld was announced the second this episode got scheduled to release. We still talked about it. Titanfall is coming to Apex Legends and Tyler finally beat Monster Hunter Rise. After all of that, we give some of our coolest gaming moments, things we experienced within the game or things we actually played through and did in the game. I'll say it: Video games provide cool moments.

Sonic Colors is rumored to be getting a remaster. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are rumored to be getting remakes. Metroid Prime 4 is rumored to be in development. Guess which one of those is the lie. Tyler and I took a personality test based on our video game preferences and we couldn't be more different. Finally, Brock loves Fire Emblem: Three Houses but seems to have trouble remembering Sothis's name, a lot like Sothis does in the game!

I don't even know where to start. Not much to say other than Tyler asked me to pitch a game and boy oh boy did I ever. It might be the best Mario and Sonic + Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Splatoon, Super Monkey Ball, and Yakuza game ever.

Monster Hunter Rise in just three short days has shipped four million copies and had a bigger opening weekend in Japan then Animal Crossing. Woah. Super Nintendo (Mario) World opened and we are already discussing franchises that could be turned into theme parks so it really is Super NINTENDO World. We read a Monster Hunter soapbox, ranked swag on video game characters, and gave some game suggestions to our good pal and newest owner of a Nintendo Switch: Brock.

"We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, let a stray, run a muck, and flat out deceived." - Stephen A Smith

Our "friends" teamed up and decided to tear our Pokemon Starters tier list to the ground....awesome. Just for that I'm ordering a Chikorita plush to spite them. Besides that we had a rather light episode, with much of the discussion being about mobile games place in the gaming landscape, which was a great conversation. But first, you have to listen to our reactions to the biggest betrayal since Brutus stabbed Caesar.

Tyler really doesn't want 3rd party exclusives on a $400 console. I don't blame him. Pyra/Mythra are now officially in Smash Brothers and good golly they are fun to use. Nintendo Switch Pro rumors are heating up, including that some 3rd and maybe even 1st party exclusives may hit the system AND that it's a matter of when, not if it gets announced. Super Nintendo (Mario) World opens next week in Japan and in 4 years in America. Speaking of Japan, we took a peak at their best selling Switch games list, and they do love some Animal Crossing.

7 year old Kolby and Tyler absolutely loved that Pokemon Presents. 19 year old Kolby and Tyler also absolutely loved that Pokemon Presents. Why? Because Meganium was in it, duh! Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are finally real and are coming to Switch, but not without questions. Gamefreak decided to dive into the "How can we make a Breath of the Wild game?" with Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a really cool concept, but also has question marks around it. Nonetheless, it was a great day for Pokemon fans. Also, Post Malone loves Lugia.
