My name is Al, (0:00:36) Kev: My name is Kevin. (0:00:38) Al: and we are here today to talk about cottagecore games. (0:00:42) Kev: Woo! A lot of them. (0:00:45) Kev: A lot of games to talk about. (0:00:45) Al: So many cottagecore games. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So, we just had a Nintendo Direct. (0:00:56) Al: By the time you hear this, there will have been another Nintendo Direct, (0:00:58) Kev: Haha sick. Oh my gosh. It’s that close. Oh my gosh. I’m not ready. I’m not ready (0:00:59) Al: But… (0:01:00) Al: We won’t be talking about that one. (0:01:02) Al: Not in this episode. (0:01:04) Al: Yeah, yeah. I think it’s the day of. Yeah, it’s the second. We release on the second, which is when the… (0:01:10) Kev: Yeah (0:01:11) Al: So, yeah. (0:01:14) Al: Let’s see how this goes. But we are… (0:01:16) Kev: So thank you for tuning in when even we’re not caring about this episode (0:01:22) Al: Hey, hey, I care. I care. (0:01:23) Kev: No, that’s not true (0:01:26) Al: So yeah, we’re going to talk about the switch direct this (0:01:30) Al: well, so we have a greenhouse episode where we talk about the switch direct in its whole, (0:01:35) Al: but we skip over the stuff that we’re going to talk about in this episode, (0:01:39) Al: specifically, it’s cartridge core games. (0:01:40) Kev: Because there was stuff for us. (0:01:43) Kev: Episode, entire episodes of the horror season were announced in that direct. (0:01:49) Al: You’re not wrong, I will say. So we’re going to talk about that. We’ve got some other news, (0:01:56) Al: Because people decided to send out other news as well this week. (0:02:00) Al: And that wasn’t just all in the Nintendo Direct. (0:02:03) Al: We’ve also got the roundup of March because it’s a new month now. (0:02:08) Al: Almost. It will be a new month now. (0:02:10) Al: This is one of those weird months where we are recording in a different month (0:02:14) Al: than we’re releasing, and I was like, do I wait till next week? (0:02:16) Al: But I decided, no, let’s do it in this one, because I’m sure nobody will announce (0:02:18) Kev: Sure. (0:02:21) Al: and release their game in the next two days. Right? (0:02:24) Kev: Oh, oh, oh, oh. (0:02:26) Al: We’ll see. (0:02:27) Kev: There’s you. (0:02:28) Kev: There’s you. (0:02:28) Al: We’ll see. (0:02:31) Al: So we’re going to talk about what released last month, in March. (0:02:35) Al: And we’ve got some feedback that we’re going to talk about as well. (0:02:39) Kev: Oh, oh, that’s that’s a genuinely exciting. I didn’t know that I’m excited (0:02:43) Al: But first of all, Kevin, what have you been up to? (0:02:46) Kev: Uh (0:02:48) Kev: Gosh, I can’t believe it’s actually been a week since I recorded and it feels like so much has happened (0:02:54) Kev: I got sick in between then and there it was rough (0:02:54) Al: No, no. (0:02:58) Kev: I don’t know if I thought it was a common cold at first. It might have been something a little last year. That’s (0:03:05) Kev: Yeah, the uncommon cold. That’s correct. Um, I (0:03:09) Kev: was breaking it off. Thankfully, but uh, yeah, that that took me down a few pegs over the week, but uh, I (0:03:16) Kev: When I was able to I squeezed in its usual say so on and so forth, but the big one wonder stop I finished it (0:03:25) Kev: I’m just holding up my thumb. You know one can see it, but I am and and that’s all I’m going to say on that because (0:03:33) Kev: One you people should play it because it’s a good game and two (0:03:37) Kev: Maybe who knows I will talk (0:03:39) Kev: about it somewhere in detail, somewhere, someplace, maybe, I don’t know. (0:03:43) Al: So, obviously, not spoilery, but nothing to change on what you said about it in the last (0:03:49) Kev: nope my nope my that is correct it did not crash and burn did not you know (0:03:49) Al: episode. (0:03:50) Al: You’ve not changed your mind. (0:03:58) Kev: scald my I and games there are games that will do that right the last second (0:04:02) Kev: just just ruin everything nope it stumps up all the way yeah so wonder stuff good (0:04:12) Al: Oh, nothing big, I’ve been continuing on Pokemon GO despite everything, because I still genuinely (0:04:12) Kev: stuff what about you well what’s been going on (0:04:23) Al: enjoy that game, and the new TCG Pocket expansion dropped a couple of days ago, so I’ve been (0:04:26) Kev: Now, you know, that’s fair. (0:04:32) Al: opening some packs, getting some cards, I got a shiny something, was that charming? (0:04:33) Kev: Uh, it’s… (0:04:35) Kev: Oh. (0:04:36) Kev: What? (0:04:38) Kev: Uh. (0:04:39) Kev: Okay. (0:04:40) Kev: Like, I, I, I am… (0:04:42) Kev: …interested in… (0:04:45) Kev: …because, you know, in the standard TCG, a new… (0:04:49) Kev: …set, or expansion, or whatever… (0:04:52) Kev: …usually has… (0:04:55) Kev: …stuff. (0:04:55) Kev: Well, it has. (0:04:56) Kev: Certain expectations or expectations are set. (0:04:59) Kev: Let’s say that right sometimes. (0:05:01) Kev: Yeah. (0:05:01) Kev: I mean, yes, there are cool arts that people can want that and so on and so forth. (0:05:06) Kev: Sometimes to ridiculous scalpery like insane levels of the expectations, but there’s gameplay stuff to lots of times, right? (0:05:17) Kev: Like we’re getting the Team Rocket Pokemon are coming back soon in the TCG and that’s cool or you know, we got styles or whatever. (0:05:25) Kev: I like to, there’s, there’s. (0:05:26) Kev: Oh, okay. There you go. That’s a big one. All right. All right. (0:05:35) Al: No, it is. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. (0:05:37) Al: So the last the last set included tools, which they hadn’t had before. (0:05:43) Al: Pokemon to and I and also the there’s like Arceus Link. (0:05:52) Al: I don’t know if you know about the Arceus… (0:05:53) Al: Like that was a thing in the physical TCG years ago. (0:05:56) Al: I don’t know if you know what that is. (0:05:56) Kev: Okay, I’m not. I heard whispers of it, but I didn’t look at it. (0:06:01) Al: It’s like abilities that affect Pokemon, (0:06:04) Al: but only if you use– (0:06:05) Al: Arceus, so it’s like if you have Arceus on the field then this happens sort of thing. (0:06:06) Kev: Huh, okay. (0:06:09) Kev: Yeah. (0:06:11) Kev: Oh, that’s a pretty cool idea. Actually, I like that. That’s fun. (0:06:15) Al: It’s very tied to Arceus which obviously limits your deck abilities but– (0:06:19) Kev: Yeah. Yeah. (0:06:21) Al: And then this set there– I mean there’s obviously always cards that have like (0:06:26) Al: new abilities and stuff like that. There’s a different Charizard which– I haven’t looked (0:06:28) Kev: Sure, sure. (0:06:31) Al: into what people are saying but I think looks like a much better Charizard than the previous (0:06:36) Al: one. There is a Giratina that is interesting. Both of those cards are heavily based around (0:06:45) Al: attacks that add energy to them so that then you can use the more powerful attack quicker. (0:06:51) Kev: Hmm, okay (0:06:54) Al: And they did just launch a ranked in pocket as well. So I will not be doing that but that does exist. (0:06:59) Kev: Oh dang pocket pocket going all in all right no longer just the collector app good good for you pocket again (0:07:10) Al: So yeah, yeah, there’s always stuff and then obviously there’s the shinies in the new the new set (0:07:15) Kev: - Yeah. (0:07:17) Al: Which are fun they are they added new missions that get you (0:07:23) Al: You’re able to unlock full decks as well. So you can say like oh I want the Tinkitung on (0:07:28) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:07:29) Al: EX deck and you get all the cards from that which is cool (0:07:32) Kev: Oh, that’s nice. (0:07:33) Al: Yeah (0:07:34) Al: So yeah, yeah, they’re adding stuff (0:07:36) Al: I don’t expect big changes every set because they’ve (0:07:40) Al: basically released a set every month, which is fast. (0:07:44) Kev: That’s that’s a lot. That is a lot. I’m exhausted just hearing that Wow (0:07:49) Al: With with the trading, I am managing to keep up with the (0:07:52) Al: standard cards, obviously not with the secret rares. But yeah, (0:07:56) Kev: prayers and all that, yeah, yeah, sure. (0:07:58) Al: but like with the standard, they call them diamond rarity. I’m (0:08:03) Al: managing to keep up to date with that. So I’m missing two (0:08:06) Al: from the last set and three from the previous set, but I’ll get (0:08:10) Al: to easily if actually put in the effort to look into trading. (0:08:14) Kev: Okay (0:08:15) Al: So that’s not very many. So yeah, I’m just exclusively (0:08:18) Kev: All right, that’s not bad all right (0:08:20) Al: opening the new set just now. (0:08:23) Al: I think that’s everything. I don’t think I’ve been playing (0:08:24) Al: anything. And this is why we’re not talking about Mika this (0:08:26) Al: week. We’ve had a week, but it’s fine. Because we were given (0:08:28) Kev: Yeah, it’s it’s been a week (0:08:35) Al: quite the list of news to talk about. So we didn’t even need to (0:08:37) Kev: Yeah (0:08:39) Al: have an alternate. (0:08:41) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I like (0:08:41) Al: So let’s see how long this takes us. (0:08:45) Kev: So I like how that happened cuz it was like (0:08:48) Kev: Just two days ago something you reached out like hey, I haven’t touched (0:08:53) Kev: Oh, you might we just do news episode. I’m like, that’s great. I have also not touched me good (0:09:00) Al: I was like I really should play the game and then I was like it’s Thursday. I’m not gonna be able to play this enough (0:09:02) Kev: Yeah, but (0:09:07) Kev: Yeah (0:09:08) Al: And it’s not that I don’t want to play the game. It’s just this week has been very busy and very tiring on so many levels (0:09:16) Kev: a lot of levels, I agree, for different reasons for both of us, but somehow, um, law, very (0:09:24) Al: It was Craig, my youngest, he’s really into Astrobot just now and he’s been, he’s really (0:09:29) Al: good at it but he can’t do everything and so there’s a few things he’s been, like he’s done (0:09:34) Al: some of the really hard bosses but there’s like some speed run levels that he’s struggling with (0:09:39) Al: and so he’s been asking me to help him with those ones. But he’s improved so much since he started, (0:09:45) Al: like he’s I think legitimately better than like most adults now, like he’s actually really good, (0:09:50) Kev: Oh, dang! (0:09:51) Al: like he defeated the final boss. (0:09:54) Al: Um, in the game, which is really good. (0:09:54) Kev: Oh, dang! (0:09:56) Kev: Way to go, kid! (0:09:56) Al: Um, I need, the game is now a hundred percent. (0:09:59) Al: He, as I say, he, I’ve done, I did some of that for him, but his save file (0:10:03) Al: is at a hundred percent now, which is wild. (0:10:07) Al: So yeah, but yeah. (0:10:09) Al: So we were sitting down this afternoon after we’d spent the day in Edinburgh. (0:10:13) Al: And he was like, Oh, Daddy, could you help me with this bit? (0:10:16) Al: And I’m like, honestly, Craig, my brain can’t deal with that just now. (0:10:20) Al: Like, it’s just there is too much to deal with in a platform. (0:10:24) Al: platformer that I do not have the energy to focus on that. (0:10:29) Al: So he was like, OK, that’s fine. (0:10:30) Al: I’ll do something else then. (0:10:32) Al: And it wasn’t the problem. (0:10:33) Al: But yeah, it’s just like when your brain can’t even do a 3D platformer, (0:10:37) Al: you know that you’ve had a week. (0:10:40) Kev: Yeah, absolutely (0:10:43) Al: So let’s see how this episode goes. (0:10:45) Al: I hope you’re excited for whatever this is. (0:10:46) Kev: Yeah, oh (0:10:49) Al: Let’s talk about some feedback. (0:10:51) Al: got another Spotify comment, uh, from our, (0:10:53) Kev: Yeah, oh I’m so excited (0:10:54) Al: only Spotify commenter, Jack, but thank you, Jack, for the comment, uh, Jack says, (0:11:01) Al: excellent job on the Grimoire Groves. Um, I think I might try it sometime in the future. (0:11:05) Al: Do you feel the next Coral Island update with children will be a good time to hop back in? (0:11:10) Al: My answer to that is I think it depends. Like if you played the game at 1.0, um, (0:11:16) Al: I think it will be a good time to jump back in. If you played 1.1, probably not. Like I think (0:11:21) Al: Anybody who’s played the game was (0:11:24) Al: 1.0 or before should be probably not now. Until we knew that 1.2 was coming out in the summer, (0:11:32) Al: I would have said just go for it now because 1.1 is such a good update for it. But obviously, if you’re (0:11:39) Al: happy with waiting another couple of months, it’s definitely a good time to jump in. And if you’re (0:11:44) Al: not super interested in multiplayer, I don’t think that other update gives you anything. (0:11:50) Al: so yeah get the get the children go for it (0:11:54) Al: get the children that was weird (0:11:56) Kev: The children (0:11:58) Kev: The children I’d you kids hide your wife (0:11:59) Al: goodness me (0:12:02) Kev: My my opinion is you should wait for the coral island update called fungi store (0:12:08) Al: oh dear (0:12:13) Al: um also has anyone on the team played bookbound on steam? I haven’t heard of anyone saying it, (0:12:19) Al: uh but uh good one to add add to the list it’s a cozy game where you operate (0:12:24) Al: a big store. I was curious about your thoughts if anyone has played it so I yeah interesting (0:12:28) Kev: Yeah, same thing here. (0:12:32) Al: maybe we need to get uh nami on for that episode it’s a big store not a library but (0:12:32) Kev: Oh, that would be fun. (0:12:38) Al: they’re basically the same thing right a big a big store is just capitalist version of a library (0:12:40) Kev: Yeah, it’d be. (0:12:45) Al: right libraries are socialism big stores are capitalism that’s how you understand the difference (0:12:46) Kev: It is, yes. (0:12:50) Kev: There you go. (0:12:54) Al: thank you for your comment jack and this is just a reminder that if you comment on spotify or you (0:12:58) Al: send us feedback from our website we will probably mention you on the podcast because we don’t get (0:13:04) Al: enough to to get it too busy like I mean if we ever get popular then i’m not promising that we’ll (0:13:09) Kev: that’s right (0:13:09) Al: do that for everyone but when we get one every three months i’m gonna mention it on the podcast (0:13:18) Al: uh kevin it’s time for I know what you released last month (0:13:22) Al: I’ve settled on that name. (0:13:24) Kev: Did you decide? (0:13:24) Al: We have quite the list of games that came out in March. (0:13:28) Al: So we’re starting off with Grimoire Groves. (0:13:30) Al: Obviously, we’ve covered that. (0:13:32) Al: That came out in March. (0:13:34) Al: Desktop Cat Cafe came out in March. (0:13:36) Al: That was the Cat Cafe Rusty-like. (0:13:40) Al: I don’t know anyone that’s tried it yet, but… (0:13:40) Kev: all right (0:13:44) Kev: yeah I i don’t either (0:13:46) Al: Believe it or not, Sugardew Island came out in March. (0:13:48) Kev: uh… i’ve heard the rumors that (0:13:50) Al: I was going to say it feels like longer than that, (0:13:54) Al: but that’s because I played it in February, so that’ll be why. (0:13:58) Kev: hmm (0:14:00) Al: Wonderstop came out, obviously. (0:14:02) Kev: died (0:14:02) Al: We had the fantastic episode about that last week. (0:14:04) Al: Good job. (0:14:04) Kev: go one, play it, go, go play it (0:14:08) Al: Mudborne came out. (0:14:08) Al: That’s the Frog Apical. (0:14:10) Kev: good name (0:14:10) Al: Apical, but frogs. (0:14:12) Kev: still great name, little bit (0:14:14) Al: I know somebody who will be playing it. (0:14:18) Al: I don’t think they have started playing it, (0:14:18) Kev: da, ah, ah, ah, ah (0:14:20) Al: but I know someone who will be playing it. (0:14:24) Kev: secrets (0:14:26) Kev: it’s not me (0:14:26) Kev: Hope it’s not me. (0:14:28) Al: Maybe it is, nothing you know who it is anyway, but honeyman sir, early access released as (0:14:29) Kev: It’s news to me if it is. (0:14:37) Al: well, as well as galactic getaway early access, apparently I backed that one on Kickstarter (0:14:43) Al: because I got a key in an email yesterday, which was like, oh, I don’t remember backing (0:14:45) Kev: Hahaha, surprise! (0:14:50) Al: this, but fair enough, I’ve got a game, it’s a little present to me from two years ago. (0:14:58) Al: Technically will be last month by the time this episode comes out, Space Sprouts came (0:15:03) Al: out on the 31st of March. Thankfully they announced it before we recorded the episode (0:15:08) Al: so we could include it. Busy month, biggest month of the year so far. Let’s turn it down (0:15:16) Al: a little bit because that’s too many games. Thanks, please and thank you. Oh, a lot of (0:15:18) Kev: No, Nintendo finally said no. (0:15:26) Al: games. Let’s see how that (0:15:28) Al: continues. But that’s what released last month. Are you (0:15:32) Al: playing any of these other games that you that aren’t (0:15:36) Kev: uh if any of them probably be mud born because I like frogs it’s a good name I don’t know i’ll (0:15:44) Kev: see how it goes though but there it’s not high on my priority list other ways (0:15:48) Al: It’s fair enough. Fair enough. Let’s talk about the game news then. So yeah, we’re going to start (0:15:54) Al: with games that we know about that have announced something new. So first up, Distant Bloom. It’s out (0:16:03) Al: on PlayStation and Switch. So it was already out on Steam, but now it’s out on PlayStation 4, (0:16:04) Kev: There you go go (0:16:09) Al: PlayStation 5 and Switch. So if you were wanting to play it, but you’re waiting for it to be on (0:16:10) Kev: There you go, I (0:16:13) Kev: I I didn’t even remember this game to be honest, but I looked up. It looks fine (0:16:13) Al: console, there you go. (0:16:21) Kev: I’d like yeah (0:16:22) Al: This is the game where you are cleaning a planet, I think, (0:16:28) Al: and you have to save plants. (0:16:28) Kev: Yeah (0:16:31) Kev: I do like that (0:16:34) Kev: I think (0:16:35) Kev: Yeah, I like that kind of terraforming or nature restoration (0:16:40) Kev: Sort of premise more than just your standard farm generally speaking. I think so that is cute. I like (0:16:48) Al: Well, this game came out almost exactly a year ago on Steam, 27th of March last year. (0:16:54) Kev: Wow. (0:16:55) Kev: Why? (0:16:56) Kev: Well, it’s not too bad if I turn around to get your ports out. (0:16:58) Al: Yeah, yeah, not bad. (0:17:01) Al: Next, we have Monster Patch. (0:17:03) Al: The Kickstarter is live and we therefore have a lot more information about Sean (0:17:08) Al: Young’s upcoming Monster Collector game. (0:17:11) Kev: Not just out of the things dang funded of course (0:17:16) Al: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:17:17) Al: It’s currently sitting– (0:17:18) Al: so it’s doing pretty good, doing pretty good. (0:17:22) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct Shocker (0:17:27) Al: I have backed it. (0:17:28) Al: Have you backed it, Kevin? (0:17:29) Kev: Not yet (0:17:30) Al: Are you going to? (0:17:31) Al: Or are you going to wait till it’s out? (0:17:35) Kev: I don’t know how to think about it. Maybe not bad. What do I get for backing? Yeah, I don’t know (0:17:39) Al: A future present. This is the thing. If you think you’ll have more money in the future, (0:17:44) Kev: The future present (0:17:51) Al: don’t back the game, right? Because why would you pay for a game now when you’ll have more money in (0:17:52) Kev: You know, you know. (0:17:57) Al: the future? If you think “I won’t have more money in the future” or “I have enough money to buy it (0:18:03) Al: just now”, back it because it’s fun to get a free game later on. Yeah, there you go. (0:18:10) Al: And you don’t have to worry about it not being funded because you didn’t support it, (0:18:14) Al: because it’s already funded. Assuming 90% of people don’t pull out. Because you can, (0:18:16) Kev: yeah fair I guess (0:18:20) Kev: yeah that would yeah (0:18:21) Al: but they won’t. 2,000 people have backed it so far. Fair. (0:18:24) Kev: i’ll wait i’ll wait to see because I need I want to see more (0:18:29) Kev: about the game I guess like how is (0:18:32) Al: Well there’s another good reason to wait, as well as the Kickstarters only for a Steam key. (0:18:39) Al: He’s not promising it’ll be on Switch, and it’ll be later on. So if you want Switch, (0:18:41) Kev: but yeah yeah probably and and there’s (0:18:45) Al: don’t back it, because that’ll just be a separate thing later on. Which I’m going to guess he will (0:18:51) Al: do it, because Littlewood went to Switch, and you know, people like Switch. (0:18:58) Kev: money when people like things (0:18:59) Al: That too. That too. That too. What I find really fun about this is that he’s doing the thing where (0:19:09) Al: he’s trying to create a save file, because he has both versions of it. So it’s a fun little nod to (0:19:12) Kev: Yeah. (0:19:23) Al: how Pokemon games do that, but without actually the negatives of it. (0:19:26) Kev: yeah bless you um that yeah that like it’s kind of dumb to think about that it wasn’t (0:19:34) Al: Yeah. (0:19:35) Kev: part like but I just never even considered that we had the technology we’re here this is the future (0:19:42) Al: Here’s a secret for you. The actual, the Pokemon games are both versions as well. They just (0:19:43) Kev: but um but that is a very cool thing to do um yeah yeah (0:19:51) Al: have a config in them that says which version is and you can’t change it. Because of course (0:19:54) Kev: Yeah, I forgot about that. You’re totally right. (0:19:56) Kev: That’s super true. (0:20:01) Al: they are. Why would they actually make two different games? It’s the same game. (0:20:02) Kev: Yeah, you’re super right. (0:20:06) Kev: Good stuff. Good times. (0:20:10) Kev: But yeah, very cool, though, that he does that. (0:20:12) Kev: And you can trade with yourself. (0:20:14) Kev: You can become that one penny arcade panel. (0:20:18) Al: Yeah. (0:20:18) Al: Yeah. (0:20:23) Al: I don’t actually know if it has trees. (0:20:28) Kev: I read somewhere you could trade between your save files. (0:20:31) Al: trade Mons and interact with your other save files through trading version (0:20:36) Al: exclusive Mons items and turn decorations player will be players will (0:20:39) Al: be able to 100% their save files in either version there will also be unique (0:20:43) Al: game mechanics that utilize characters from different saves like battling your (0:20:46) Al: character from past playthroughs and that’s cool so it’s try interact with (0:20:51) Al: your other save files that yeah so that means you don’t you can just do it on (0:20:54) Al: one one device as well you don’t even have to have two devices to save which (0:20:56) Kev: Yeah, mhm (0:20:58) Al: which is probably actually simpler than trading between (0:21:02) Al: devices, right? Because he can just modify the saves on this one thing (0:21:02) Kev: Yeah, oh it probably actually is (0:21:10) Al: rather than dealing with that inter-device communication. (0:21:12) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s a very good point. Yeah, it’s shocker. It’s actually easier. (0:21:14) Al: It’s very clever. (0:21:19) Al: It’s quite cool. I like it. I’m looking forward to this. And I think I like the (0:21:25) Al: monster designs. Almost said Pokemon. The monster designs. (0:21:28) Kev: Hahaha, she’s already getting in their crosshairs we go we care (0:21:31) Al: Yeah, you play as Gary. (0:21:37) Kev: Yeah (0:21:40) Kev: You’re playing as as Gary Powell, I believe his name is (0:21:41) Al: The monster designs are fun and unique, but also feel distinct from other monster collecting games. (0:21:54) Kev: Yeah, it’s such, I say this as someone who’s fooled around with trying to design fake mods like it’s so difficult because the bar is so clear and and you know, it’s set. So, you know, how do you stand out but there’s there’s some fun ones. There’s definitely some fun ones in here. (0:22:19) Kev: I like, I like little shark guy. (0:22:22) Kev: That’s a whooper though, that’s still just a whooper. (0:22:24) Kev: I’m sorry. (laughs) (0:22:26) Al: shh. There’s also collecting and crafting and magic, which is, is, oh, I like it. Some (0:22:37) Al: people don’t, but I like collecting and crafting in games. (0:22:40) Kev: Yeah, let’s let’s see how it goes. The animations. It looks good because it’ll very much. It’s fascinating because he got the aesthetic of the, you know, the Game Boy color, Pokemon games, but the animation looks pretty dynamic and fluid and it’s nice. You can move your house and stuff around. (0:23:02) Al: Yes, yes, town building mechanics, like in Littlewood. I haven’t seen anything as to (0:23:08) Al: whether they have terraforming or not, because Littlewood did, but that feels a more complicated (0:23:15) Al: thing to do in a game where you’re like exploring and catching monsters and stuff like that. (0:23:18) Kev: Yeah. (0:23:22) Al: So maybe it won’t have terraforming, but there is at least some level of town customisation. (0:23:27) Kev: yeah the four team battles that’s a fun little thing that’s different and then (0:23:34) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m looking forward to this and trying very hard not to buy the physical (0:23:36) Kev: you make carts (0:23:43) Al: edition of both versions because I don’t need it. (0:23:47) Al: I don’t need it. (0:23:48) Kev: Is that, are you sure? (0:23:50) Al: I don’t need it. (0:23:50) Kev: You don’t need it, no, but it’d be nice. (0:23:52) Al: I don’t need it. (0:23:53) Al: All right. (0:23:55) Al: I’m sure we’ll talk about this game much more in the future. (0:23:58) Al: Next we have the most pointless piece of news ever, but I’m going to talk about it anyway. (0:24:02) Al: outbound the campervan game have said that (0:24:04) Al: we’re going to have some news on the 10th of April. (0:24:06) Al: That’s it. We’re done. Great. (0:24:07) Kev: It’s it’s the teaser for two days before the trade the teaser trailer that movies do now (0:24:12) Al: It’s news about news, it’s an announcement of an announcement. (0:24:14) Kev: Yeah (0:24:17) Kev: Yeah, I’m excited. Oh (0:24:18) Al: And it’s not even before the next episode. (0:24:20) Al: We have to wait two episodes to talk about this. (0:24:22) Al: What is this nonsense? (0:24:27) Al: Anyway, will it be a release date? (0:24:30) Al: That’s my guess. (0:24:31) Kev: Probably boy be you better be something good if it’s not (0:24:38) Al: Well, so I don’t think it will actually be the release date, (0:24:40) Al: because the alpha isn’t even out yet, which is coming in April. (0:24:42) Kev: Well, I bet I meant the release date for the alpha (0:24:45) Al: That’s so anticlimactic, if it’s that. Like, I don’t care. Go away. (0:24:49) Al: Come back to me with a finished game. Come on. (0:24:54) Al: We have some release dates from the Nintendo Switch Direct. (0:24:59) Al: Fantasy Life I The Girl Who Steals Time is coming on the 21st of May. (0:25:04) Kev: I’m so excited. My brothers excited fantasy lives. There’s a lot going on here (0:25:11) Kev: Like are you familiar with the original fantasy life at all? (0:25:15) Kev: okay, um (0:25:16) Kev: so the original conception for (0:25:19) Kev: the original fantasy life was a (0:25:22) Kev: single-player (0:25:24) Kev: Non-violent MMO that was like literally the the pitch for it (0:25:30) Kev: um and it uh they didn’t go the non-violent thing in the end they ended the combat (0:25:34) Kev: classes but uh but they did keep the single-player aspect it’s a single-player (0:25:41) Kev: MMO basically with different classes and you can switch between them and you do different (0:25:45) Kev: things and yada yada it’s very gr- and very grindy sort of game like MMOs um uh but uh (0:25:54) Kev: very cute very charming by level five the professor late in the okai watch people (0:25:59) Kev: they’re very good at writing so uh very enjoyable game in my opinion um Calvin (0:26:04) Kev: my brother plays a lot too um so you know we got a lot of mileage into that um and but they’re (0:26:09) Kev: really ramping it up here because we’re going way past the the MMO skeleton um we we we got (0:26:16) Al: Yeah, this is a life seminar, basically. (0:26:18) Kev: basically because you you’re now and there were some aspects of that you could decor your house (0:26:22) Kev: but now we’re terraforming we got the animal crossing terraforming in here which is wild to me (0:26:28) Kev: um I don’t even know how that’s gonna fit in like i’m sure you can (0:26:34) Kev: terraform the whole world it’s probably just like maybe your home plot or something but uh (0:26:39) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, uh, what’s it called? What was the game? Um, the Dragon (0:26:47) Al: Quest was a Dragon Quest game builders. Yeah. They, you could terraform the whole world (0:26:48) Kev: Builders yeah (0:26:51) Al: there. Couldn’t you possible. (0:26:52) Kev: Yeah, you could oh man, that’d be wild if he could (0:26:56) Kev: Maybe I it’s possible either way fantasy life sick. I’m looking forward to it. It’s coming real soon. May 21st (0:27:04) Al: The Wandering Village is coming to Switch on the 17th of July, so that’s cool. (0:27:10) Al: I still haven’t played this game. (0:27:12) Kev: Yeah, me neither (0:27:14) Kev: Will I now I don’t know maybe (0:27:18) Kev: Well idea you’re playing on a big dinosaur (0:27:21) Al: And Luz Lagoon have announced that their Switch release is coming in the summer of this year. (0:27:28) Kev: to have alloy at home over the summer now (0:27:34) Al: Yeah, so that’s all of the news about games that we already know about. (0:27:39) Al: So we’re now going to talk about new games that we didn’t know about, (0:27:43) Al: and all of these were announced in the Nintendo Direct. So here we go. (0:27:51) Kev: Let’s do this! (0:27:51) Al: Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar. This is a remake of Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. (0:28:02) Al: If you don’t understand why a Harvest Moon game is now called Story of Seasons, (0:28:06) Al: I don’t have time to explain that to you just now. It is how it is, right? Harvest Moon is now Story (0:28:08) Kev: that’s that’s that long and short of it yeah (0:28:12) Al: of Seasons, and Harvest Moon is not Story of Seasons. It wouldn’t be confusing if they just (0:28:19) Al: renamed it. (0:28:21) Al: The confusing thing is that Harvest Moon still exists, that’s what’s confusing about it. (0:28:25) Kev: Yeah, yeah, and the worst part is it works, right? Like the other Harvest Moon series, (0:28:34) Kev: it’s still kicking. They’re still pumping stuff out. (0:28:38) Al: So, this is coming in August, the 27th of August, a little birthday present for me. (0:28:46) Al: I’m excited because, I mean, this is one that I never played and the graphics, I think this (0:28:53) Al: looks gorgeous. (0:28:54) Al: It looks, it’s kind of similar to “Story of Seasons - Pioneers of All the Times” graphics, (0:28:58) Al: but it’s definitely nicer, I think. (0:29:01) Al: Yeah, I like the look of it. (0:29:05) Al: I guess when you get close up to the characters, they look very much like. (0:29:08) Al: I’m not a huge fan of how close up you get in those discussions, but when you’re zoomed out and you’re seeing the world and it looks really fun, I need to figure out what the deal is with the traveling in this game, because it looks like someone has a paraglider. (0:29:28) Kev: it very much looks like the the Korok Lee from Wind Waker that you’re flying around with. (0:29:34) Al: Yeah. (0:29:36) Kev: I don’t know. There is you’ve got your cows so you know all the base is covered. We’ve got the (0:29:38) Al: Looks like there’s a good amount of character customization. (0:29:46) Kev: bazaar thing itself is an interesting mechanic right the the Moneco night market style set your (0:29:53) Kev: stuff and sell your wares. (0:29:56) Al: Yeah, we’ll see. I worry it’ll feel like I’m not on… (0:30:03) Al: Maneko, I quite enjoyed because of how fast paced and how limited it was. (0:30:08) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:30:09) Al: And I think it worked really well. (0:30:12) Al: I’m worried I wouldn’t enjoy it in this one because it feels much more frequent and slower. (0:30:16) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:30:20) Kev: That’s very possible. I understand your concern. (0:30:24) Al: Yeah, this is 100% just a paraglider. He jumps off a cliff and he’s got the paraglider. (0:30:31) Al: Fine, sounds great. Why have we not had that in other three seasons games? (0:30:36) Kev: I mean, I don’t think– has there ever been a need? (0:30:38) Al: What’s this nonsense? (0:30:42) Al: There’s always a need. Trio of Towns did a fun thing where you could jump, (0:30:46) Al: and you could jump up things. I really liked the movement in that game, and then they kind of just (0:30:52) Kev: Hmm (0:30:53) Al: just stop doing that as well. (0:30:54) Kev: That’s wild (0:30:55) Al: Yeah, I would just like, I don’t even care necessarily about it speeding things up. (0:31:01) Al: I just find it fun to be running around and jumping at the same time. (0:31:04) Kev: Yeah, you know that’s very fair. That’s very fair (0:31:05) Al: But it’s just fun to do that. (0:31:09) Al: The blurb for this. (0:31:11) Al: Searching for a peaceful farm life? (0:31:13) Al: A fresh mountain breeze and your own market stall? (0:31:16) Al: Look no further than the friendly community of Zephyr Town. (0:31:18) Al: Here you’ll grow crops and raise animals. (0:31:20) Al: Get to know the locals and sell your wares at the town’s bazaar (0:31:25) Al: to its farmer glory. (0:31:26) Al: Everything is always being restored to its farmer glory in these games. (0:31:29) Kev: always always good girl yeah basically oh that’s story of seasons like it’s it’s (0:31:32) Al: Make Zephyr Town great again. (0:31:42) Kev: you know it’s it’s the standard it’s gonna be good like standard for a reason right like (0:31:50) Al: OK, so it says use windmills to create new products to sell and effortlessly travel (0:31:57) Al: across the town on your glider. (0:31:59) Al: I have a question. Do they not understand (0:32:01) Al: how windmills work and they are implying that the windmills are creating the wind (0:32:05) Al: for you to travel with? I don’t know. (0:32:08) Al: That’s what it sounds like to me. (0:32:09) Kev: Maybe, you know, that’s how it works now. (0:32:11) Al: It feels like it’s a cause and effect (0:32:14) Al: sentence, but that doesn’t make any sense, right? (0:32:16) Al: that use the wind for both of those things but not the wind. (0:32:20) Al: I mean, Tree of Towns was a 3DS game and this was a DS game, so I guess maybe it sounds (0:32:28) Kev: Probably from what you describe. I’m gonna guess yes (0:32:34) Kev: Yeah (0:32:35) Al: like they were continuing that from this to Tree of Towns. (0:32:37) Kev: That’s what I’m thinking (0:32:40) Al: Well, I’m going to buy it, right? (0:32:44) Al: I’m not going to pretend. (0:32:47) Al: The question is, will I buy the… (0:32:56) Kev: The Deluxe Mega Collector’s Rare Edition. (0:33:06) Al: platforms, which retailer, Amazon Boo, is the only retailer, 65 pounds. (0:33:14) Kev: That doesn’t sound that bad. (0:33:15) Al: The standard is 45 pounds, so it’s 20 pounds difference for the limited edition. (0:33:22) Al: The limited edition doesn’t mention what it actually does. (0:33:25) Kev: I was about to ask but wait was that included is in cow does it include a cow plush at all because that’s (0:33:31) Kev: That’s the real money maker (0:33:32) Al: I had this in a link, and I now no longer have it in the link, and I’m really annoyed (0:33:36) Al: about that. Here we go. I’ve got it now. Fantastic. Fantastic. The limited edition copy includes (0:33:46) Al: The Game, a plush Suffolk sheep, so not a cow, but a Suffolk sheep, a poster, a physical (0:33:54) Kev: No, that’s alright. (0:33:57) Al: art book with over 115 pages of cosy art. Why is the art cosy? I don’t know. (0:34:02) Kev: That’s a lot of art. That’s a pretty decent sized art book. (0:34:02) Al: And an original soundtrack CD. The digital deluxe version includes the trunk of transformation (0:34:07) Kev: Not bad overall. (0:34:14) Al: DLC, and the super deluxe digital edition includes a digital art book and soundtrack (0:34:19) Al: app in addition to the items from the deluxe version. And that is the same cost as the (0:34:25) Al: physical limited edition. Will the physical limited edition not come with the DLC? That (0:34:31) Al: That feels weird. (0:34:32) Kev: that’d be wild nope you don’t know nothing (0:34:33) Al: We don’t know anything about that DLC. (0:34:38) Al: Well, I guess we’ll find out in time. (0:34:41) Kev: yeah all right the plush questions answer that’s all I needed though i’m probably not gonna get (0:34:47) Kev: it right it’s like oh yeah or I mean the physical whatever edition will I get the game so yeah maybe (0:34:48) Al: Fair, fair, fair, fair, maybe, maybe. (0:34:55) Kev: I do enjoy story of seasons (0:34:58) Al: Next we have Witchbrooke. (0:35:01) Al: Discover magic and mystery in Witchbrooke, a spellbinding witch life sim (0:35:04) Al: for up to four players. (0:35:06) Al: Start your life as the newest resident of witch in the bustling seaside (0:35:11) Al: city of Mossport. (0:35:12) Al: Make friends, find love and discover a world filled with wonder and charm on (0:35:16) Al: the road to graduation and beyond. (0:35:19) Al: Look, you can, it’s a 2D witch game where you can write a broom. (0:35:22) Al: That’s, do I need to tell you anymore? (0:35:22) Kev: I was about to say finally Cozy Games and Witchcraft at long last! (0:35:29) Al: I don’t really care about the witchcraft part of it. (0:35:31) Al: What I care about is the broom. (0:35:33) Al: I’ve, if I can write a broom in your game, I’m probably going to buy it. (0:35:36) Al: I want to be able to fly. (0:35:39) Al: Just let me fly. (0:35:40) Kev: yeah that’s a pretty good one um I like the graphics they’re going for a (0:35:47) Kev: 2d isometric like pixel gba ds era graphic style I like it um uh well I play it I don’t know (0:35:58) Kev: because I got a slot but but it looks well done very true very (0:36:01) Al: Will I buy it? Probably. Will I play it? (0:36:03) Al: We’ll see. Those are two different questions. (0:36:10) Kev: true um (0:36:12) Al: um yeah no I i I i i’m I think it’s I think it looks great and is getting a lot of buzz online (0:36:17) Kev: yeah no it looks it has all your your staples and all the all the good stuff you want your marriage (0:36:24) Kev: and your your relationships and crafting and things (0:36:30) Al: Apparently, this game was first announced seven years ago, and then they’ve never said anything about it ever again. (0:36:36) Kev: That’s wild I didn’t know that that’s wild (0:36:40) Al: Someone in the YouTube comments says, “7 years of radio silence for it (0:36:44) Al: finally to surface on a Nintendo Direct.” (0:36:48) Kev: and is a silk song of an earlier generation. Yeah, Jack. (0:36:54) Al: Yeah, I really like, I really like the graphics. (0:36:59) Al: Tomodachi Life, not Tamagotchi Life, Tomodachi Life. (0:37:03) Kev: That’s that’s another one (0:37:08) Al: I googled, I started googling Tamagotchi Plaza, which is the the other game we’re about. (0:37:14) Kev: Yeah, and you discovered a whole list of new episodes, let’s talk about that vape sometime. (0:37:16) Al: Hey Google, shut up. (0:37:20) Al: And I, yeah, one of them was Tamagotchi life. (0:37:24) Al: Someone just doesn’t know how to spell Tamagotchi, right? (0:37:27) Al: They heard it and thought it was Tamagotchi life, or just confusing the games. (0:37:33) Al: Anyway. (0:37:34) Al: Tamagotchi life. (0:37:35) Al: No. (0:37:36) Al: Yes, that’s what we’re talking about just now. (0:37:37) Al: Tamagotchi life. (0:37:38) Al: I got confused myself, because I wasn’t sure which one we were talking about. (0:37:42) Al: After over 10 years, Tamagotchi life is back and coming to Nintendo Switch. (0:37:46) Al: So this is like me, Animal Crossing, right? (0:37:50) Kev: of sorts gets a bit more wild than that it’s more like somewhere between Animal (0:37:58) Kev: Crossing and the Sims I would say that’s it’s closer to the sims I think even (0:38:04) Kev: because you don’t actually control a character you’re just watching the the (0:38:10) Kev: drama that ensues when you put all your friends and me’s and oh you not play (0:38:12) Al: Oh, you’re not actually controlling any of these characters. (0:38:17) Kev: Like Tomodachi? (0:38:18) Al: I have not, no, no. (0:38:18) Kev: Life or familiar? (0:38:20) Kev: Okay, yes, no, no you are not controlling the characters or okay to be fair. I’m not played myself (0:38:24) Al: Not directly controlling them. (0:38:26) Kev: Yeah, not directly controlling them (0:38:26) Al: You mean like in the Sims, you like can tell them what. (0:38:30) Kev: Okay, yes, um I to be fair (0:38:32) Kev: I’m not played myself, but I’ve watched my sister and Sami familiar with the the thing and it’s more or less (0:38:37) Kev: Yes, just you have a whole bunch of me’s you’re letting them into (0:38:41) Kev: You letting them loose into the house and watching all the hijinks that ensues as they do things as they if all in love (0:38:50) Kev: Become friends throw (0:38:53) Kev: Sports balls at each other. I don’t know (0:38:56) Kev: It’s a zany game and this one’s turning up the zany up to 11. We got we got giant people (0:39:03) Al: Yes, that was very funny at the end. It’s just like the person running towards the camera and (0:39:08) Al: then they just get bigger and bigger and bigger. You’re like “oh my word, what’s happening here?” (0:39:09) Kev: Bigger, yeah (0:39:14) Al: I legitimately thought this was just like Animal Crossing. I’m now watching a gameplay video (0:39:17) Kev: No, no, no (0:39:20) Al: of Tamadachi Life from the 3DS and I have no idea what’s happening. (0:39:23) Kev: Yeah, that’s that sounds correct. I don’t think you you’re even if you were (0:39:28) Al: Is any of this gameplay or is this just like a film? Are we just watching a really weird (0:39:33) Kev: a little bit maybe a little bit, but it’s (0:39:33) Al: film? Is this like The Sims Cross with WarioWare? Because it feels like some of it’s like minigames. (0:39:40) Kev: Maybe a little bit (0:39:44) Kev: And it’s a little bit some stuff will pop up you never know in the Tomodachi, huh? (0:39:48) Al: What is happening in this game? A pretzel appeared. What will Big Bad Pig do? What is this? (0:39:56) Al: I’m so confused. Yes, now I need to buy this game. (0:39:59) Kev: Well, aren’t you curious that’s (0:40:03) Al: Anyway, it’s coming next year. This is like an actual Nintendo game though, right? This isn’t (0:40:03) Kev: See you got to know what happens with the pretzel (0:40:09) Kev: You (0:40:11) Al: like third party. Nintendo make this. It’s coming in 2026. People are excited. I’m confused. (0:40:11) Kev: Yeah, it is (0:40:14) Kev: Stage on smash (0:40:25) Al: I clearly completely misunderstood what this game was and I am so confused. Okay, look. (0:40:33) Al: We’ll talk about it I’m sure. Why are these characters throwing items at each other? (0:40:35) Kev: ha ha ha ha oh i’m excited oh why why not they might be playing games they might be if you (0:40:44) Kev: think it’s unsure you have to play the game to get your answers it’s the only way to know could be a (0:40:50) Kev: talent competition possibilities are endless yeah toma means friend I think in japanese i’ve heard (0:40:52) Al: Tomodachi means “friends” and Dachi is plural, so it’s “friends”. (0:41:02) Kev: yeah okay that’s fruit so yeah (0:41:06) Kev: put you all your oh man you know what this means we can put all the I other ths hosts (0:41:13) Kev: into one tamodachi life house and watch the drama that will unfold (0:41:18) Al: Oh so you like actually get your “me’s” from other people. (0:41:21) Kev: you can yeah or yeah or I i mean I don’t know how (0:41:22) Al: Oh my word. (0:41:24) Al: “The game follows the day-to-day interactions of “me” characters,” referred to as the Islanders. (0:41:29) Al: “They build relationships, solve problems, and interact with the player.” (0:41:32) Kev: The possibilities are endless. (0:41:34) Al: Oh goodness sake, I hate that I have to buy this game now. (0:41:39) Al: It looks like it’s very tied into StreetPass, so how are they going to replace that? (0:41:44) Kev: I don’t know. That is the big question because obviously, I guess so. I guess so because obviously, (0:41:46) Al: Just internet connection. (0:41:48) Al: And I guess, like, you can connect and share your Miis that way. (0:41:54) Kev: yeah, the 3DS was a lot more suited for me stuff and that sort of connectivity. I don’t know how (0:42:02) Kev: they’re gonna handle it, but we gotta stay tuned. Just wait. We’ll find out. Somebody will do the (0:42:10) Kev: the day again by which I may meet somebody who’ll play. (0:42:14) Al: All right last but not least in the games we have Tamagotchi Plaza not to be confused with (0:42:20) Al: Tamagotchi Life. The fact that they announced both these games on in the same direct is just so mean. (0:42:20) Kev: Yeah, no, it’s great, it’s what I want. (0:42:32) Al: Although I feel like we knew about Tamagotchi Plaza and see I’m doing it again Tamagotchi Plaza. (0:42:34) Kev: Probably, maybe, I don’t know. (0:42:38) Al: I think we knew that this game existed I feel like but not a lot about it. (0:42:44) Al: Let me check. Oh no maybe not no the internet does seem to think it was this was the first (0:42:49) Al: announcement of it. It’s another shop simulator game but with Tamagotchi characters. (0:42:57) Kev: Yeah, that’s all I need. (0:43:00) Kev: I’ve never had a Tamagotchi in my life. (0:43:04) Kev: There’s some dope ones out there. (0:43:07) Kev: The Digimon crossover ones are good. (0:43:07) Al: I yeah yeah I love I love Tamagotchis as well not actually using them but I (0:43:13) Al: like I used to use them as a child but now I just collect some um I have a Pac-Man one (0:43:19) Al: and I have a Gugitama one um (0:43:20) Kev: Ooh, where’s this updated shadow labyrinth? (0:43:26) Al: um but I don’t I don’t think I want to play another shop game (0:43:30) Al: do you have to do the shop but I think so it seems like it’s pretty core (0:43:32) Kev: You do you must (0:43:37) Al: in June 27th of June for the first time in the series an offline two-player mode is now available (0:43:39) Kev: Be excited (0:43:43) Kev: No, why did it know there were other times in the series, okay? Oh (0:43:43) Al: collaborate or compete with other (0:43:49) Al: yes it’s the newest in the Tamagotchi corner shop series (0:43:53) Kev: Okay shows me what I know how much apparently (0:43:58) Al: over a hundred Tamagotchi in total. (0:44:00) Kev: I (0:44:03) Kev: Okay, good. I didn’t I didn’t even consider the number would be an issue, but all right. I just thought it was just like (0:44:08) Al: Well it’s not, because there’s a hundred of them, it’s not an issue. Yeah I don’t think (0:44:13) Al: I’m gonna play this game but I’m excited for those who are excited by it. Oh you can be (0:44:13) Kev: I’m not I (0:44:16) Kev: Mean I I heard Mike gets cheers of joy in the distance is watching the direct. So, you know, oh (0:44:23) Al: a dentist. You can run an afternoon tea shop. Okay so this is when they say shop simulator, (0:44:25) Kev: Hold a hold the phone now or talk (0:44:31) Kev: Oh, that’s cute. (0:44:34) Kev: I thought… (0:44:35) Al: This is just a bunch of minigames. (0:44:37) Kev: Okay, yeah, yeah, you’re… (0:44:38) Al: You’re not actually have to get the stuff and stock the shop. (0:44:41) Al: You just go and like run the shop. (0:44:41) Kev: It’s not Grand… (0:44:43) Kev: It’s not… (0:44:44) Kev: It’s not Tamagotchi Grand Bazaar. (0:44:46) Kev: You can… (0:44:46) Al: Well, now I’m interested. (0:44:47) Kev: Live your dreams. (0:44:49) Al: Make the tone vibrant and full of life. (0:44:51) Kev: Restore it to its former glory! (0:44:54) Kev: Now we’re talking! (0:44:58) Al: Probably still not going to play it, but. (0:45:00) Kev: I probably will not either. (0:45:01) Al: More more interested in it now than I. (0:45:03) Kev: Unless they get those crossovers like the Godzilla and the Digimians. (0:45:06) Al: Look, look. (0:45:08) Al: Luke, Luke, Luke. If Gudetama’s in it, then yes. I will play it. (0:45:11) Kev: Nah, see, that’s what I’m talking about. (0:45:15) Al: We need our Sanrio characters. Oh wait, that’s just… (0:45:16) Kev: Dope. (0:45:17) Kev: Yeah. (0:45:20) Kev: Panda to our brand. (0:45:21) Al: That’s just Hello Kitty Island adventure then. (0:45:27) Al: Oh goodness, we’re nearly there. We’re nearly done with the news (0:45:31) Al: and the episode, but we have one more thing to talk about. (0:45:35) Al: Kevin. Nexus Mods. (0:45:38) Al: A website for mods for games. (0:45:42) Kev: They are unleashing the dogs of war. (0:45:44) Al: They have and they’ve finally announced their open source cross-platform Nexus Mods app, (0:45:51) Al: which includes support for Stardew Valley. Now this is exciting because this is a very easy way (0:45:59) Al: to add mods to games compared to how you previously had to add mods to games. It is (0:46:06) Al: is an app that shows you (0:46:08) Al: what games you can add mods to, and it allows you to search for mods and add them with (0:46:12) Al: the click of a button, which is excellent. Do you know what’s even more excellent about (0:46:15) Kev: Yeah, what is tell me (0:46:16) Al: it? It has support for Linux, including the Steam Deck, which has been even harder to (0:46:21) Kev: Oh (0:46:23) Al: do mods on because they didn’t really have any apps to help with the process before now. (0:46:28) Kev: Oh, that is exciting. (0:46:30) Al: So there you go. That’s exciting. So it has support for Stardew Valley as of now, which (0:46:38) Al: listeners of this podcast will be interested in that. They’re also working on support for (0:46:43) Al: Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord. I’ve never heard of that game. (0:46:50) Kev: Okay, I don’t know what those are (0:46:52) Kev: Where’s the harvest season host as the start of NPC mod? Where’s that mod? (0:46:58) Al: Well, someone just needs to make the mod then. Nexus mods don’t actually make the mods, t

Et comme il est entouré de pas pire gamers en Julien Bernatchez, Guillaume Dupuis et Mathieu Niquette, la discussion s'enflamme rapidement, court dans tous les sens et va dans des zones beaucoup trop nichées pour que ce soit accessible, mais malgré tout, on sait que vous adorez ça!

Et Guillaume Dupuis nous appelle du futur et le Guillaume Dupuis du présent arrive avec un boutte de carotte prouvant que la fin du monde approche, mais le lore est pas si clair que ça!

(0:01:39) Kev: uh i’ve been not much game wise to be honest i’m busy (0:01:44) Kev: trying to grind away at work as I can but anyways i’m in the brief moments i (0:01:48) Kev: do more well you know what forget all this (0:01:50) Kev: let’s get into marvel snapcast because you’ve been playing it too I know (0:01:54) Kev: you’ve been doing really well because holy mackerel you hit infinite like in a (0:01:58) Kev: week it’s insane insanity (0:02:02) Kev: um you know marvel snap is good I have been (0:02:06) Kev: I have not progressed it like i’ve been going back and forth not (0:02:09) Kev: stopped in the 70s but i’m still having a blast a lot of great cards this season (0:02:14) Kev: move is getting some love I like the spider people’s um yeah marvel snap’s good which uh (0:02:22) Al: Well, yeah, I don’t disagree with you there, because yeah, I’ve fallen off a little bit (0:02:23) Kev: what are you doing over there in snap world (0:02:29) Al: the last kind of week or so, purely because I’m not really sure what I want to do now (0:02:34) Al: that I’m at infinite. (0:02:35) Kev: Yeah, that’s fair. (0:02:36) Kev: I live in the conquest mode, but I’m only- (0:02:39) Kev: I can’t mainly do it because I want the- (0:02:41) Kev: Like, if I want the, you know, the big reward variant or whatever. (0:02:45) Kev: And I like it, it’s a duck walk in a suit, I think it’s snazzy. (0:02:45) Al: Yeah. (0:02:48) Kev: I’ll probably go for it if I can. (0:03:00) Kev: yep it is you know that’s super fair um I have been like in the last match and lost it you know (0:03:10) Kev: the last one before hitting infinite or final infinite one or whatever um it’s it is rough it (0:03:17) Kev: is um so yeah I know you’re right yeah kind of girl ears um oh my gosh the more I think about it (0:03:18) Al: It’s like a roguelite. But overall I’m still really enjoying, overall I’m still really (0:03:29) Al: enjoying Snap. I’m loving the idea, like different strategies and stuff like that. And yeah, (0:03:34) Al: as you mentioned, I’ve hit infinite for my, for the first time this season, which is, (0:03:38) Kev: Clap, clap, clap. Good for you. (0:03:41) Al: is fun. Yeah, I honestly never thought I would get to this point. So it’s, it’s fun to be (0:03:46) Kev: And there you go and the cool thing is it’s you know, relatively easy, you know next season cuz you’ll just be down to 70 (0:03:54) Al: Mm. Yeah, yeah, I. (0:03:54) Kev: You only have to go 30 levels not a huge climb (0:03:58) Kev: So yeah, good on you man. Um (0:04:02) Kev: Marvel snap aside (0:04:04) Kev: Sorry, go ahead (0:04:05) Al: No, no, I yeah, no, you go. (0:04:06) Kev: Okay. Okay, Marvel snap aside. Um, I’m continue to plays endless zone zero the (0:04:13) Kev: will you overst… er… er… (0:04:18) Kev: I don’t know what to call this, but it’s kind of become a daily for me because you can log in and if you want you can just do your dailies in like 5 minutes or so. (0:04:28) Kev: Because it’s really easy really quick. (0:04:32) Kev: It’s interesting to be in a game as it’s just releasing content, you know, it’s still early on. (0:04:38) Kev: There’s 3 chapters of the main story and I completed them all right so I’m just kind of… (0:04:44) Kev: my wheels, but I’m just dedicating time to improving my character. (0:04:46) Kev: It’s still not spent any money on it, but it is a game that works well for me to get in and just zone out, or whatever, and just push buttons and whatnot. (0:05:04) Kev: Yeah, that’s it. I know there’s a new chapter coming, I think they’re saying, but yeah, that’s it. (0:05:16) Kev: It’s a good style. What about you, what’s going on, other than Snapworld? (0:05:20) Al: Yeah, well, I just want to say you’ve not spent any money on that game unlike Marvel (0:05:24) Al: Snap. (0:05:26) Kev: Oh my god. Oh, I don’t want to talk, oh. (0:05:29) Al: Look, just think about what you get from it though, the amount of fun you get from it. (0:05:30) Kev: If I think about that for one second, just try to even consider how much I spent on Snapworld. Nope. (0:05:38) Kev: Were mistakes made? I don’t know. It doesn’t feel like a mistake. (0:05:42) Kev: I I do have down a lot of good for it, but (0:05:46) Al: I try and limit myself to just the season pass. (0:05:46) Kev: Yeah, me too, especially in this day and age. (0:05:51) Al: Nothing more, but I always pay for the more expensive season pass. (0:05:58) Al: Also, when I say try to, I don’t… I haven’t. (0:06:02) Al: I haven’t just stick to the season pass, but I try to. (0:06:02) Kev: Yeah. Yeah, me too. Rarely. Yeah, I agree. I haven’t done it since getting unemployed (0:06:05) Al: Most seasons, I just do the season pass. (0:06:08) Al: But yeah, there have been a few good pass packs that I’ve purchased for a fiver or whatever. (0:06:17) Kev: because obviously, but beforehand, yeah, no. And there were some that I had to like, “Oh, (0:06:17) Al: Well, yeah, yeah. (0:06:23) Kev: my rule of force.” It’s those cheap ones, you know, like the $10 one. Like, “Oh, man, (0:06:26) Al: Yeah, yeah (0:06:27) Kev: look at all this bull and the bull.” They get ya. (0:06:29) Al: Yeah, they’re dangerous (0:06:31) Al: Look, I’ve put in way less money into snap than I have into Pokemon go. So so that’s okay, right? (0:06:32) Kev: You know what? Yes. Wait, wait. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Either way, you look at it. Yes. I haven’t (0:06:44) Kev: put any money in going. I’m proud of myself for that. So, you know. (0:06:47) Al: It’s a wise a wise decision (0:06:51) Al: What else have I been playing I have played and completed astrobot the new (0:06:56) Al: the new astrobot game which is just called astrobot. It’s confusing because (0:07:03) Al: they have astros playroom which was the free one that came with the ps5 and they (0:07:09) Al: have astrobot which is the new one that came out but they also have what was the (0:07:13) Al: other one called there was a psVR one ask no it wasn’t astrobot rescue mission (0:07:16) Kev: Wasn’t Playroom the VR one? (0:07:20) Al: that’s the VR one. I haven’t played that one but (0:07:21) Kev: Oh. (0:07:26) Al: yeah whatever. Astrobot is so fun it’s basically like it feels like a cross (0:07:33) Al: between Mario Galaxy and Mario Sunshine and I think it it’s a really nice (0:07:39) Al: crossover between those two things and it does a really nice job of every (0:07:47) Al: level feels the right length it feels like everything comes back just enough (0:07:53) Al: that you don’t get sick of anything (0:07:56) Al: like you don’t go, oh, not another one of these levels. (0:07:59) Al: And the game is a good length, I think. (0:08:02) Al: So I’ve 100%ed it, and I’ve got the Platinum trophy. (0:08:06) Al: And I think it took me about 35 hours, which (0:08:08) Al: feels like a good length to me. (0:08:11) Al: It’s not a super difficult game, but there (0:08:14) Al: are a few levels that are, if you (0:08:17) Al: want to 100% it, that are quite difficult and difficult (0:08:23) Al: platforming challenges. (0:08:27) Al: Kind of think about it like with Mario Wonder, (0:08:30) Al: most of it was reasonably easy, like not difficult. (0:08:34) Al: But there was a few right at the very end (0:08:37) Al: after the main story that were super challenging. (0:08:40) Al: But you didn’t need to do them to complete the story. (0:08:42) Kev: Okay, it’s curvy-ish in nature, um, that’s cool. (0:08:42) Al: It’s kind of like that. (0:08:46) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:08:48) Al: No, I really think it’s super fun. (0:08:50) Al: And I mean, it’s a big PlayStation nostalgia fest. (0:08:56) Al: Like, you’re collecting bots that are all old characters (0:08:56) Kev: Yeah, it’s… it’s a shame that Sony fails to protect their legacy, though. (0:09:00) Al: and stuff like that. (0:09:06) Kev: You saw that tweet, right? (0:09:10) Kev: Okay, what? So, I didn’t understand. Are those just little… what are those characters? (0:09:16) Kev: Are they skins or are they just hanging out somewhere? Like, I don’t… you know? (0:09:20) Al: So there are other bots that you have to save who help run your ship, and some of them just (0:09:24) Kev: Okay. (0:09:26) Kev: Okay, I see. (0:09:26) Al: happen to look like characters in games. The best part about it is you’ve got, (0:09:32) Al: obviously, you’ve got Crash Bandicoot. There’s a Crash Bandicoot one. There’s an (0:09:36) Kev: Yeah, of course. (0:09:37) Al: Eloy from Horizon 1. There’s loads of other ones that I were like, “Okay, (0:09:40) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:09:42) Al: I kind of vaguely know what that is.” There’s a Pyramid Head one. (0:09:44) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:09:48) Al: It feels like the whole- (0:09:50) Al: The whole rest of the game is very much like kind of cutesy kidsy and then you’ve got this (0:09:55) Al: bot dressed up as pyramid head (0:09:58) Kev: Uh, well, you know, he was already in a, in a Bomberman game and his cute cartoony chibi. (0:10:06) Kev: So, okay. (0:10:07) Al: But it’s quite funny because they don’t name most of them right they have these like kind of funny names (0:10:14) Al: that kind of try and (0:10:16) Al: explain something about them without actually using the name. (0:10:20) Al: So it’s a little bit weird in that it feels kind of, I heard someone describe it, it was kind of like they’re using it without the rights to the characters. (0:10:28) Al: So it’s like a legally distinct sort of thing and the pyramid head one is he’s called the executioner. (0:10:28) Kev: okay (0:10:31) Kev: okay okay (0:10:37) Kev: why are just calling him that? (0:10:39) Al: Yeah, it’s very funny, but. (0:10:43) Kev: oh my gosh I just saw him call threat us dad of boy (0:10:46) Kev: and hgs boy (0:10:46) Al: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. (0:10:48) Kev: that’s incredible (0:10:50) Al: Well, exactly. It’s stuff like that. It’s just very funny, silly stuff. (0:10:54) Al: I’m trying to think what else it was. Oh yeah, Thor was Thunder God. (0:10:58) Al: And it’s not like the– Aloy was Machine Hunter. (0:11:02) Al: It’s not like they didn’t have the rights to these characters. (0:11:04) Al: They are. They’re characters. Right? Like, but it’s, yeah. (0:11:04) Kev: - Yeah, yeah. (0:11:09) Al: Nathan Drake is Raider Dude. (0:11:12) Kev: Yep (0:11:14) Al: So yeah, it’s really fun. I enjoyed it a lot. (0:11:17) Al: I would really OK, I would recommend. (0:11:20) Al: I would recommend it to anybody who has a PS5. (0:11:22) Al: If you have a PS5, I don’t think you have a good reason not to buy this game. (0:11:26) Al: If you don’t have a PS5, obviously do not buy a PS5 for this game. (0:11:30) Kev: Why would you do that when you could buy the PS5 Pro for this age? (0:11:37) Kev: Well, the one with the old colors. (0:11:43) Al: Oh, it just I didn’t even notice this at the time, but they have a Boku from Boku no Natsuya Sumi. (0:11:49) Kev: Oh, wow, there you go. There’s your cottage core (0:11:56) Al: All right. Cool. I think that’s I think I’m probably done talking to Astro about now. (0:12:01) Al: Three episodes in a row. That’s probably enough for you listeners. (0:12:06) Al: Cool. So we get into some news then. (0:12:08) Kev: Yeah, I guess so. Legally obligated to. Like, no one. (0:12:13) Al: We have. First of all, Orange Season have announced that there are 1.0 releases coming on the 24th of October. (0:12:21) Kev: Okay, all right. (0:12:25) Kev: Which one’s hard? (0:12:25) Kev: Wait, is that this one or you’re growing orange trees, right? (0:12:29) Al: I don’t think it’s like specifically growing just oranges. I think it’s a standard farming game. (0:12:34) Kev: Oh, okay. (0:12:35) Al: This is the one that had like a longer name and they renamed it. It was something something Orange (0:12:38) Kev: Okay. (0:12:39) Al: season rather than and then they renamed it to just orange season (0:12:41) Kev: Oh. (0:12:43) Kev: Oh, I… (0:12:44) Al: Yeah, it just feels like a pretty standard farming game there’s nothing about this that’s like oh, I must get this (0:12:47) Kev: Yes. (0:12:50) Al: - Yes. (0:12:51) Kev: Obviously, this is an us problem, because we’re the ones (0:12:51) Al: the (0:12:54) Kev: always reading the news and whatever, so we’re the ones who feel the fatigue. (0:12:58) Kev: Oh, it’s so rough, when, you know, it’s hard to stand out, like, (0:13:02) Kev: I feel so bad that I feel- (0:13:04) Kev: so unexcited or you know like it is this one’s very paint-by-the-numbers farming. (0:13:12) Al: Woofed apparently the first early access version of this was (0:13:18) Kev: Aw, sick. (0:13:20) Kev: Oh, good times. (0:13:22) Kev: Good time. (0:13:24) Kev: Well, hey, it made it. I will say that it did make it. (0:13:26) Al: Next we have Petite Island, have released a story trailer for the game. This is definitely (0:13:39) Al: not Animal Crossing. I mean it looks nice blah blah blah, too many games. (0:13:42) Kev: It’s, it’s animal intercession. (0:13:46) Kev: Aww. (0:13:48) Kev: Let me see. (0:13:50) Kev: Yeah. (0:13:52) Kev: They have, what is that? (0:13:54) Kev: Calico cat? Is that what it’s called? (0:13:56) Kev: It’s a cute, it is a cute cat. I’ll say that. (0:14:00) Kev: Oh my gosh, I don’t understand. (0:14:02) Kev: Did you have to go for the island motif? (0:14:04) Kev: You, you horizons cave out. (0:14:09) Al: Everything has to be an island or a valley, or both. (0:14:12) Kev: Oh gosh. All right. (0:14:14) Al: Next we have Paleo Pines. (0:14:16) Kev: Oh, oh wait, this one I care about, actually. (0:14:18) Al: New DLCs and a new update coming out (0:14:21) Al: on the 26th of September. (0:14:22) Kev: What are we getting? (0:14:26) Kev: Two deals. Wait, they’re playing it. (0:14:30) Kev: Michael Jackson’s Thriller is to Michael. (0:14:34) Kev: The trailer is to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. (0:14:36) Al: I don’t think they’ve announced anything about them. I’m just looking at their news. All I see is the names and then the announcement that they’re coming on the 26th. So we’ll see. (0:14:38) Kev: I didn’t expect that. (0:14:40) Kev: Oh, spooky stuffs, I guess. (0:14:48) Kev: Mm-hmm, okay (0:14:55) Kev: Okay, they’re probably just in-game events then adding new holidays or something. That’s probably what it is. All right, cool cool cool (0:15:00) Al: Yeah. We’ll see. We’ll keep you up to date when we get more information. (0:15:07) Al: Next, an update that we do have more information on. Gogotown, their major content update is now out. I think we recorded last time like four hours before it came out. So we didn’t have a lot of information. (0:15:18) Kev: Of course, of course. (0:15:21) Al: But yeah, we do have more information now. The biggest question I had was how the redoing of the industry zones works and you can basically decide how much space and how many on industry zones you have. (0:15:37) Al: Which is cool. I’m still not sure because I haven’t actually booted up the game since they’ve updated it. I’m still not sure how that affects the literal cave that exists and whether you can move that or not. (0:15:48) Kev: Mm-Hmm (0:15:50) Kev: Huh. (0:15:51) Al: But the rest of it makes sense. I guess you can just go. This is an area where we have mining and this is the area where we have trees and stuff like that. And more importantly, these are the places we have farming. (0:16:04) Kev: I’ll wait for 1.0 and this is good news, it sounds like stuff that’s good for 1.0. (0:16:04) Al: because they pointed out like you could set up one farm for animals. (0:16:06) Al: And a lot of crops, for example, so that’s cool. (0:16:10) Al: I need to spend some time with this update and see how it actually feels. (0:16:21) Al: Yeah, yeah. (0:16:22) Al: And they’ve added a bunch of expanded areas which you can purchase as you go, which is cool. (0:16:28) Al: And we got more information about the subways as well, so they’ve added in subways. (0:16:33) Al: It’s a little bit weird in that it’s very much. (0:16:36) Al: Clearly meant to be like a train subway, but you just walk in and then you walk out of a different exit to get to a different place. (0:16:44) Al: So it’s just kind of, it’s not even going to, it’s not even pretending that you’re actually getting on a train, which is a little bit weird, but simplest, probably implementation. (0:16:50) Kev: can’t they at least can’t they can’t they at least throw in the spider-man the metro (0:17:02) Al: Yeah, exactly, exactly. (0:17:03) Kev: little cutscenes in between (0:17:06) Al: Um, and the, the bike place spaces and the car parks are pretty cool. (0:17:13) Al: Uh, I noticed that they have a way to be able to summon vehicles that aren’t a (0:17:17) Al: specific one, which is nice as well. (0:17:18) Al: So if you’ve lost a vehicle or you’re on the other side of a map. (0:17:24) Kev: No, that’s great. (0:17:25) Kev: Alright. (0:17:27) Al: Yeah I think that’s the main three things. There’s a bunch of other kind of extra (0:17:31) Al: content and stuff but yeah I definitely need to need to try this out. (0:17:36) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:17:36) Al: Next we have Moonstone Island. We’re getting all our favorite games today. (0:17:43) Al: The festivals update is coming on the 30th of September and this has, can you guess, new (0:17:49) Al: festivals! There’s also some new spirits. I feel like this is one really good thing about… (0:17:50) Kev: Wow. Blowing my mind here, Al. (0:17:57) Al: they seem to add in a new spirit every update no matter how big the update is. (0:18:02) Kev: Yeah, it does like so (0:18:05) Kev: Okay, I think I’ve discussed this before like I wish I I appreciate them putting the work in love for it (0:18:13) Kev: But I’d rather they just make the spirit and hold off till they can release like kind of them at once (0:18:18) Al: interesting. Why do you say so? (0:18:19) Kev: Yeah, I like okay. Well, you know what? It’s honestly like going back (0:18:24) Kev: Let’s say that’s the motivating factor for me, right? Like I like to collect the spirits, right? Just going back for one (0:18:29) Kev: I don’t know. It feels very (0:18:32) Kev: Whatever because it’s not like anything any sort of special event fruit or whatever. You just it’s a random counter in the wild, you know (0:18:40) Kev: It’s a very small thing to look forward to whereas if it’s a ten (0:18:44) Kev: Okay, that’s at least a little more to to go through and motivate me getting getting them (0:18:46) Al: Yeah, so this this one’s four specifically (0:18:51) Kev: Okay, all right, um, the designs are usually good though, so I’m looking forward to see what they are (0:18:57) Kev: One big thing (0:18:58) Al: The the cooking update also get added for I’m just checking the previous ones as well (0:19:00) Kev: - Yeah. (0:19:02) Kev: I don’t know, well, it’s been a few updates, (0:19:04) Kev: so maybe I will check it out soon. (0:19:06) Kev: No, why not? (0:19:07) Al: Yeah if you’ve not if you’ve not played it since the first version it definitely feels like it’s (0:19:08) Kev: Maybe it’ll feel like 10. (0:19:11) Al: It’s a good time to jump in (0:19:13) Kev: Yeah, but honestly, the biggest problem for me (0:19:16) Kev: with Moonstone Island and their updates, (0:19:18) Kev: like it just, I don’t know, (0:19:21) Kev: it almost doesn’t make sense to me how they’re doing it, (0:19:26) Kev: because all their updates feel very like, (0:19:29) Kev: you know, the Cottagecore focus on decorations (0:19:33) Kev: and festivals and things like that, right? (0:19:35) Kev: But the game is still so very, like, (0:19:38) Kev: plot mode or objective motivated, let me say that. (0:19:43) Kev: And they haven’t really added more missions (0:19:45) Kev: or post-game things like that, (0:19:46) Al: Hmm (0:19:47) Kev: just left to decorate your house. (0:19:50) Kev: And like, and spirits, right? (0:19:53) Kev: Like, so, you know, you collect the spirits, (0:19:57) Kev: but I guess you have them, and that’s it, I guess. (0:20:00) Kev: I don’t know. (0:20:02) Kev: Oh, cool, now I see the little image (0:20:04) Kev: of the spirits being added on those mitten, that’s good. (0:20:08) Kev: But I don’t know, yeah, that’s all I really want, (0:20:10) Kev: more than anything from Moonstone Island, (0:20:12) Kev: you know, something actually to work towards (0:20:14) Kev: or to feel like to use my spirits for. (0:20:16) Al: Yeah, so it looks like it it looks like one of the so I’ve just gone through all the updates (0:20:18) Kev: Yeah, because, mm-hmm. (0:20:23) Al: since they released. One of them had three and all the others had four. So, yeah, it (0:20:24) Kev: Yeah. (0:20:27) Kev: Okay, all right, well, that’s a decent number altogether. (0:20:29) Al: doesn’t feel like a ridiculously low number to go with each update for but. (0:20:32) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. (0:20:36) Kev: All right, but it is what it is. (0:20:38) Kev: I’m glad the game’s still being worked on, I’d still give it. (0:20:43) Al: Next, we have Seasons Spree. We talked about this at some point. I can’t remember when. (0:20:49) Al: I know we talked about it because it’s on my wish list. It’s out now, so if you care (0:20:57) Al: about this game, which again, definitely not Animal Crossing. I think it does do one interesting (0:21:04) Kev: how gosh one of the first things (0:21:07) Al: thing. It says that you control the flow of time just by walking around. (0:21:12) Kev: That’s okay, I don’t know I’m looking at it like it’s around spherical world (0:21:18) Al: Yeah, but that seems to be your progressing time as you’re moving left and right. (0:21:23) Kev: Yeah (0:21:25) Kev: Then that is an interesting mechanic. I will say that (0:21:30) Kev: So I wonder how well they utilize that (0:21:34) Kev: That is interesting (0:21:37) Kev: But are you excited for a cozy world because that’s one of the first things pieces of text in the trailer (0:21:41) Al: I love a cosy world nothing makes me more excited to be game than cosy world. (0:21:43) Kev: Wow (0:21:47) Kev: There you go, well season sprees got you covered don’t you worry (0:21:54) Al: We also have a steam page up for my time at ever shine now with a lot more information (0:22:00) Al: it’s very funny because they announced that this game was coming with no information and (0:22:04) Al: then like a week later the steam page is up with paragraphs and paragraphs and like ten (0:22:11) Al: different videos and screenshots of what’s happening in the game. (0:22:14) Kev: You know, I kind of like that, actually, like that, you know, (0:22:19) Kev: the first announcement isn’t a proper teaser, actually, right? (0:22:23) Kev: Like just if there’s a thing and we just wonder (0:22:26) Kev: and then they drop all the information. (0:22:28) Kev: I like that. That’s you. (0:22:29) Al: But like a week though, that feels really fast. (0:22:32) Kev: Oh, you’re right. OK. Weak is fast. You’re right. (0:22:35) Kev: But in general, I like the strength, but I like you. (0:22:39) Kev: Well, but hey, hey, what really matters? (0:22:42) Kev: You know what? Everyone wants to hear out. (0:22:45) Kev: The biggest announcement they’re developing (0:22:47) Kev: for currently unannounced Nintendo platforms. (0:22:50) Al: Oh no, I didn’t want to talk about this! (0:22:54) Kev: Oh, you thought you were going to get away with me on here? (0:22:54) Al: Oh my word, I forgot all about this. (0:22:56) Kev: It’s just. But. (0:22:58) Al: Okay, right, so, so many articles popped up and like, “Oh, (0:23:05) Al: first game confirmed for the Switch 2. Oh, we’ve got Switch 2 game!” (0:23:10) Al: And you’re like, “Okay, well let me read what they’ve actually said.” What they’ve (0:23:13) Al: said is, “We are committed to releasing this on the next (0:23:17) Al: Nintendo console and you’re like (0:23:20) Al: that is not first of all shut up secondly that is not anything like what you’re saying it is (0:23:28) Al: and thirdly it’s not even the first game that said that there are many games that have said (0:23:33) Al: they’re going to do that this is not a first it made it sound like it was an official announcement (0:23:40) Al: about the new console and it was nothing like that. (0:23:40) Kev: Yeah (0:23:45) Kev: Search to announce through my time at ever seen update (0:23:51) Al: I’m just- the good- the interesting thing about this- (0:23:53) Kev: Still more games than the PlayStation 5 already. I just want to say (0:24:00) Al: I mean half of the- so there’s only like 20 exclusive ps5 games and half of them are remakes. (0:24:06) Kev: Sick (0:24:08) Al: What was I saying? Yes, so the interesting thing about My Time at Evershine is that they do appear (0:24:14) Al: to be using a new character model which looks like much more like actual humans. (0:24:18) Al: Thank you very much. (0:24:21) Kev: Wow, I want to step up. (0:24:22) Al: Proper dimensions and proportions. (0:24:25) Al: I mean, I think it is. (0:24:26) Al: I think they look much better like this. (0:24:29) Al: I think some people probably prefer the previous character models. (0:24:30) Kev: No, I get what you’re saying. (0:24:32) Kev: Yeah, I get what you’re saying, (0:24:34) Kev: but it just, it also can sound like (0:24:36) Kev: they were using freak abominations before. (0:24:40) Al: They did have very big heads in the previous game. (0:24:41) Kev: Yeah, oh no, those, yeah. (0:24:44) Kev: Those are people, people, all right. (0:24:46) Kev: Wow, that’s a Breath of the Wild. (0:24:48) Kev: Wow. That’s good. (0:24:50) Kev: Breath of the Wild with dofers with hats on there. (0:24:53) Kev: Okay. Okay. Oh. (0:24:54) Al: I mean, I’ll be honest, unless they’ve fundamentally changed how the crafting works, I’m not playing (0:25:00) Kev: Yeah, no, I mean, it’s like, oh my gosh, I don’t know how to feel about this. (0:25:05) Kev: Okay, it feels, I don’t know, and going more in a normal portion, it almost feels a little more generic. (0:25:12) Al: Yeah, that’s fair. That’s fair (0:25:12) Kev: Um, uh, here we go, my time at power, non, non-loss-suit edition. (0:25:14) Al: You (0:25:22) Kev: Let’s, uh, okay, well, there you go. (0:25:24) Al: All right, well, we also have some new games because the list of new games is never ending. (0:25:33) Al: First of all, we have The Last Farmer. (0:25:36) Al: The Last Farmer is not just a tale of survival. (0:25:40) Al: It’s a journey of restoration amidst the sprawling deserts of a forgotten Texas. (0:25:45) Al: I mean, don’t we all wish Texas was forgotten? (0:25:48) Kev: Okay. Oh, oh wow. Wow. This is not what I expected. Sorry, I just clicked on the little. It’s not (0:25:48) Al: Your farm becomes a symbol of hope and persistence. (0:25:59) Kev: the aesthetic I expected at all. No, no, I didn’t. Oh, no. The local looks like (0:26:00) Al: You didn’t expect, you didn’t expect a zombie game? (0:26:05) Al: And oh, my word, there’s the. (0:26:11) Al: Zombies, just listen to this sentence. (0:26:15) Al: Zombies can be processed into fertilizer, helping you restore the fertility of the dead land. (0:26:22) Al: You have a literal meat grinder that you put a zombie on and it turns it into (0:26:27) Al: fertilizer and it does not. (0:26:30) Al: It does not hide away what it’s doing. (0:26:32) Kev: Aww, it’s SICK. (0:26:32) Al: It is like so clear what is this. Horrific. (0:26:35) Kev: That’s kind of sick. That’ll, you know, leaning in all the way. (0:26:39) Kev: Oh my gosh, so… oh my god. (0:26:42) Kev: I’m just… still recovering from the sh… the jump scare I got you from, but that, like, jump scare just completely unexpected. (0:26:53) Kev: So when they say “the last farmer,” they mean “the last of us farmer.” (0:26:58) Kev: that’s what they mean because that’s that is the aesthetic that’s (0:26:58) Al: - Yeah, yeah, that’s pretty much what it is. (0:27:02) Kev: the local that is what they’re saying you are the last of us (0:27:05) Kev: far oh wow (0:27:06) Al: Farming is only part of survival. You’ll need to craft tools and firearms to defend yourself and maintain your farm. (0:27:12) Al: Resources can be processed into biofuel, which is vital for keeping your operation running and surviving in this harsh state. (0:27:12) Kev: there you go (0:27:20) Kev: there you go (0:27:23) Kev: oh okay (0:27:24) Kev: you got me oh my god okay (0:27:26) Kev: sorry I just looked at the next link and I got another bitch hah! (0:27:29) Al: All right well let’s go on to the next one then. Uh cast away. Retrieve your weapons. Face bosses (0:27:35) Kev: Oh my gosh. (0:27:35) Al: to save your dog in a retro adventure focused on three dungeons. Finish the story mode to unlock (0:27:41) Al: the survivor mode. A 50 floor death tower. You’ll enjoy classic mechanics, charming visual style, (0:27:46) Al: and enchanting soundtrack. Um is this not actually farming? I don’t think this is farming at all is (0:27:52) Al: it? Why did I add this into the list? Is there no farming in this at all? I’m sure. (0:27:53) Kev: No, I don’t. I’m looking at it. (0:27:59) Al: I added this in for a reason. (0:28:01) Kev: Like, I’m looking, I’m playing the trailer. I don’t know. (0:28:04) Al: Nope I don’t know how this managed to get in there but (0:28:08) Kev: I don’t know why you added a… (0:28:10) Al: it’s a Zelda game. (0:28:11) Kev: It is not just a Zelda game. It is the Link’s Awakening. It is the power of the equivalent (0:28:17) Al: Yeah yeah. (0:28:20) Kev: of Link’s Awakening. (0:28:23) Kev: Wow, they’re character, it’s just Breath of the Wild Link, wow, wow, okay, boy I hope you’d (0:28:28) Al: You know what, I think I probably did. (0:28:29) Kev: yeah, I don’t blame you, like that’s a common trope for us, well I hope they don’t have (0:28:30) Al: I probably saw the word cast away and just assumed it was a farming game. (0:28:41) Kev: any mechanics that are plantive, oh, okay, what’s next, is the next one actually Cottage (0:28:44) Al: This one’s definitely Cottagecore. We have Artisan Story. Aspiring to be the best artisan (0:28:47) Kev: Club. Oh, oh, yeah, story. (0:28:53) Kev: You know it, you know it, it’s. (0:28:58) Al: in the world are young artisans are opening their workshop complete with a monster ranch. (0:29:03) Al: Monsters from the dungeon tend to your fan. I mean, it’s Rune Factory, right? (0:29:08) Kev: It’s- It- Every- You- You’ve ruined the genre for me, Al. Every game is just a Yahtzee of other games now. This is just a ruined factory. (0:29:16) Al: Sorry. (0:29:18) Kev: Hahaha. (0:29:22) Al: Is this how this podcast dies? (0:29:24) Al: With a whimper of the hahaha. (0:29:26) Kev: Oh, that was, that was without question. (0:29:30) Kev: What’s, oh, what’s, what’s the gummy guy game, the gummy bum drop guy? (0:29:36) Kev: I can’t remember physics based one. (0:29:38) Al: Oh, yes, Southfield, yes. (0:29:44) Kev: what is it called southfield i’m gonna go look at southfield to see what it’s just as (0:29:49) Al: Make yourself feel better. (0:29:54) Kev: verbal drink for my eyes because oh my goodness this is this is a rune factory what’s the artist (0:29:59) Kev: oh my gosh and the name it’s uh we’re just oh my gosh (0:30:06) Al: So you’re not excited about this? (0:30:08) Kev: oh but you know the worst part is it looks it it actually looks or at least (0:30:14) Kev: the trailer like I you know assuming I don’t know if this all the in-game or whatever but (0:30:18) Kev: it does look um the visual presentation is nice they’re kind of going for the octopath (0:30:24) Kev: 2.5 d what are you gonna call it right with kind of flat sprites whatever yeah with flat (0:30:26) Al: 2d HD or what? Yeah (0:30:30) Kev: sprites on a uh a uh 3d world um so oh my gosh some of the monster designs that I mean they (0:30:38) Kev: they work well but they’re they’re just ripping off other things it’s the characters that get me (0:30:44) Kev: those are just rune factory I mean you know it doesn’t help rune factories already (0:30:48) Kev: never gets into those designs but oh my gosh it’s clear what we’re going for oh (0:30:52) Al: Alright, let’s finish off the new games with Luma Island. (0:30:59) Kev: we need a section of new games in quotes and actually new games (0:31:04) Kev: uh (0:31:04) Al: Oh yeah look, it’s another island. Travel to Luma Island to go on an epic adventure by yourself (0:31:10) Al: or with your friends and family. Build your dream farm, master professions, collect magical (0:31:17) Al: lumas, find treasures and unravel the mysteries of the island. (0:31:21) Kev: Finally, we can build our dream farm and unravel missions of an island. (0:31:26) Al: I will say I quite like the the graphics in this game. It is the art style, it’s kind of, (0:31:32) Al: It feels like it’s trying to do. (0:31:34) Al: I’m going to do pixel art in three. (0:31:37) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I can see what you’re saying. Yeah, I can go where it reminds me of fabled them a little less cartoony (0:31:43) Kev: Um, like you said, I think yeah the pixel heart and 3d kind of like rounded fully rounded (0:31:48) Kev: I can kind of I see what you’re saying (0:31:51) Kev: Um, it it does look nice the visuals. Um (0:31:55) Kev: You know nothing like it’s not super (0:31:58) Kev: Super stylized the characters are fine, but it looks nice. It’s it’s well done. I’ll say that right. Um, and we can rotate the camera (0:32:06) Kev: I like that. (0:32:06) Al: Yeah, I hate how, I hate how every scene is just the camera constantly rotating, I’m feeling (0:32:07) Kev: I’ll say this. (0:32:08) Kev: I… (0:32:09) Kev: Yeah it is. (0:32:10) Kev: Yeah you can. (0:32:11) Kev: I get it. (0:32:12) Kev: You’re right. (0:32:13) Kev: You’re sober. (0:32:14) Kev: I appreciate… (0:32:15) Kev: Like I said before, I appreciate it when they go for 3D because, or generally speaking, (0:32:25) Kev: I do. (0:32:26) Kev: Looking at you, artist in story. (0:32:28) Kev: Because it’s so easy to do a Stardew clone. (0:32:32) Kev: But it looks nice. (0:32:34) Kev: I’ll say that. (0:32:36) Kev: Feels very like a san- (0:32:37) Kev: boxy sort of game, I don’t know what a luma is, but uh, there you go, luma, I’m- (0:32:40) Al: Uh, it’s the, the, the star from Mario. (0:32:44) Al: » [LAUGH] (0:32:44) Kev: I d- I’ve no- I was- I- I probably make a joke, but I lost the train in my head, so. (0:32:52) Kev: But yeah. Where’s that game? Where is this? (0:32:54) Al: I… well Mario farming game. A Luma farming game. (0:32:57) Kev: Ye- oh, yes. Tour, I don’t know. (0:33:01) Kev: Lu- yeah, why not? (0:33:03) Al: You’re just… you’re playing as Rosalina and you’re breeding Lumas, (0:33:03) Kev: Somebody’s gotta grow crops on that spaceship. (0:33:07) Kev: You know, I hate how much I love that concept of fiction. (0:33:10) Al: sending them off in to make stars. (0:33:17) Kev: Well, that’d be great. (0:33:19) Kev: Well, I’d love a game just running the starship, whatever, the observatory, whatever, with Rosalina. (0:33:27) Kev: Oh my gosh, that’d be great. (0:33:28) Al: all right there we go that’s that’s the only one that I’m looking at out of this (0:33:29) Kev: Thank you, Luma Island, for giving us that concept. (0:33:33) Kev: - Okay. (0:33:36) Al: list and going I could see myself playing (0:33:38) Kev: » Yeah, that is by far the best one, (0:33:40) Kev: because it’s the only one that’s not complete knockoff of something else. (0:33:45) Kev: » Yep, we had Last of Us, Link’s Awakening, and Rune Factory. (0:33:51) Kev: New entry synapse for them. (0:33:54) Al: All right, so that’s all the news and the new games. We are now going to do our Stardew (0:33:54) Kev: » [SOUND] (0:33:59) Kev: » Okay. (0:34:01) Al: character tier list. A few ground rules for this. First of all, it is every single character (0:34:03) Kev: » Tier list. (0:34:05) Kev: OK, so– (0:34:07) Kev: That’s the sign for you listeners to, you know, turn us off. (0:34:10) Kev: Lest you, you know, hear our awful, awful opinions. (0:34:18) Kev: OK. (0:34:20) Al: in Stardew, every single one. (0:34:21) Kev: All right. (0:34:24) Al: Secondly, we’re going to do this as there’s five tiers. There’s S, A, B, C, and D. (0:34:31) Al: We’re just going to argue about it until we agree on something. Some of them I think will be pretty (0:34:35) Al: obvious, but there might be some that we have to kind of disagree on and argue and finally get to (0:34:40) Kev: - All right, sure. (0:34:41) Al: decision. And just for listeners, if you’re hearing this part of the podcast, that’s because (0:34:47) Al: I got the video successful. We are hopefully going to have a video of this, of Bill (0:34:54) Al: building the tier list. We’ll see if it works or not, but I am sharing my screen with Kevin. (0:35:01) Al: He can see what I’m doing, and we’re going to build up this tier list together. (0:35:05) Al: If that doesn’t work, there’ll be an image of the tier list as well. I mean, there’ll be an image (0:35:09) Al: of the tier list either way, because can’t make people watch the video just to see the visual of (0:35:14) Al: it. But yeah, we’ll see how that goes. Okay, so we’re starting off. We’re just going to take this (0:35:18) Kev: Okay, let’s do this. (0:35:22) Al: in the order that they have them. (0:35:24) Al: in this list. First up we have Abigail. (0:35:26) Al: Oh, it may be alphabetical, yeah. (0:35:26) Kev: uh I think this is this alphabetical I don’t know whatever i’m at evergills (0:35:33) Kev: she’s fine I guess we I don’t know i’m pretty indifferent (0:35:38) Al: I’m thinking A, personally, because she eats rocks. (0:35:40) Kev: okay (0:35:45) Kev: wow I don’t remember that detail a for sure (0:35:49) Al: I think she’s fun, and she’s a little bit weird, and I like weird. (0:35:53) Kev: Yeah, you know, you know what? Hold on, I’m remembering. (0:35:57) Kev: He’s the product of an affair, basically, right? (0:35:59) Kev: That’s the implication we’re getting. (0:36:03) Kev: So, you know what? (0:36:03) Al: She literally, you give her amethyst and she will eat the amethyst. (0:36:06) Kev: Oh, oh, oh, that’s right! (0:36:08) Al: Like, it’s not even, it’s not even hinted at. It is very clear she eats the amethyst. (0:36:10) Kev: All right, A tier for that alone. (0:36:16) Kev: Yep, I’m down for it. (0:36:16) Al: And I love that. Okay, cool. Alex. He is the jock. Um, I will say the one thing that kind (0:36:17) Kev: I’m down for that. (0:36:18) Kev: All right, A tier for Abigail, absolutely. (0:36:22) Kev: He, I guess, he’s the jock, right? (0:36:29) Al: of like justifies him is that if you, if you are a male character in the game and you go (0:36:36) Al: the relationship with Alex he (0:36:38) Al: kind of goes through a journey of self-discovery. (0:36:42) Kev: That’s pretty cool actually, I didn’t realize that. (0:36:45) Kev: If you want to go A for that, I don’t mind it. (0:36:47) Kev: I’m fine. (0:36:48) Kev: B, A, whatever you want. (0:36:48) Al: Yeah, Mogo B. He’s a little bit more rounded than some of the other characters, but I don’t (0:36:49) Kev: That is a nice touch, the fact that they made the effort for that. (0:36:54) Kev: Alright, B. (0:36:58) Al: think he’s quite A. (0:37:04) Al: Next we have The Bouncer from Calico Desert. (0:37:08) Kev: that’s (0:37:11) Kev: Does his job well (0:37:11) Al: So as far as I know, he has exactly two lines, one of which is “No, you’re not getting in” (0:37:19) Al: and the other one of which is “OK, on you go”. (0:37:20) Kev: Perfect. Nailed it. No notes. He delivered. He promised. He came. He delivered. I had (0:37:23) Al: And that’s it. (0:37:27) Al: I don’t know what to say. (0:37:31) Kev: a boy last week. I almost want to say yes because there’s nothing else. It’s up. Or (0:37:42) Al: I mean, he’s not particularly… (0:37:43) Kev: just you have to put him in B because that’s the normal. He’s not good or bad. That would (0:37:48) Kev: be the. (0:37:49) Al: OK, sure, fine. (0:37:51) Al: Let’s put The Bouncer from Calico Desert into B. (0:37:56) Al: Next we have Caroline. (0:38:01) Al: So Caroline gives you tea. (0:38:07) Al: That’s her best thing. (0:38:09) Al: No, she’s married to Pierre. (0:38:12) Al: She’s Abigail’s mum. (0:38:12) Kev: Okay, okay, okay, okay. Oh, so she’s the one who had the affair. Oh, yeah. Oh, that’s spicy (0:38:18) Al: She’s a little bit more of a married girl. (0:38:24) Kev: I’m (0:38:25) Kev: Good. They only kind of briefly reference that they don’t lean into it too much. I can get kind of get why but (0:38:30) Al: Mm-hmm (0:38:34) Kev: Like I wish they kind of did that would be a good plot line to follow through with (0:38:39) Kev: But yes, and remembering her now. Yeah, she’s just kind of there isn’t she? (0:38:42) Kev: um (0:38:43) Al: she’s fine. Yeah. I don’t think she’s particularly bad. Are we thinking B? Yeah. See what’s the (0:38:48) Kev: Maybe see even I don’t know cuz like (0:38:53) Kev: Just not as memorable as Alex or the bouncer that’s the only thing (0:38:58) Kev: But I mean, yeah, I don’t know. I’m fine either way. I’m not TV (0:38:58) Al: OK, fine, fine, let’s go see. (0:39:02) Kev: Okay. Well this call the next one calls for the establishment of a new tier the Flint tier at the bottom (0:39:08) Al: The Clint tier where we have very bad kerning between the L and the I, yeah. (0:39:11) Kev: Do we have to go? (0:39:18) Al: Yeah, he’s D tier, right? (0:39:18) Kev: - Well done. (0:39:23) Al: He doesn’t learn anything, he never has any personal growth, he’s just a little grumpy (0:39:28) Al: who can never admit that his problems are somewhat self-inflicted and could absolutely (0:39:35) Al: be solved. (0:39:36) Al: There’s no reason why he couldn’t get into a relationship with Emily if he actually tried. (0:39:49) Al: She is a lovely person and she gives him plenty of opportunities and he never even bothers (0:39:52) Al: to try. (0:39:53) Al: And he gets grumpy when you get in a relationship with her, despite the fact that he was never (0:39:57) Al: doing anything. (0:39:58) Al: He is not a good person. (0:40:00) Al: He’s not nice to be around. (0:40:02) Kev: Fine you win now (0:40:02) Al: D. I’m sorry. (0:40:04) Al: Was I trying to convince you? (0:40:05) Al: I don’t think so. (0:40:06) Al: I don’t think I needed to convince you. (0:40:06) Kev: No, that’s what he told you remember, and that’s what he says when you were all right, so that’s probably the easiest one (0:40:13) Al: Demetrius. (0:40:14) Al: Oh yeah, for sure. (0:40:15) Kev: Okay, Demetrius (0:40:17) Al: I’m thinking C for him. (0:40:19) Al: He’s fine. (0:40:20) Al: But again, not particularly, like, interesting. (0:40:20) Kev: Yeah (0:40:23) Kev: Yeah, he’s a scientist right he just sciences it up off-screen yeah, I’m fine for see (0:40:26) Al: Yeah (0:40:28) Al: He’s sciencey, but Maru does the science angle much more interestingly. (0:40:32) Kev: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I agree. Uh, let’s see his mind, ‘cause yeah, he’s just… (0:40:38) Al: Yeah, he’s fine. I don’t, he’s a little bit, he does, I will, the other reason for, I guess, (0:40:44) Al: putting him down to sea is, I feel like he, so he is, I think, canonically autistic, (0:40:52) Kev: Hm, okay. Yeah, I remember, mm-hmm. (0:40:52) Al: and he’s very much using that as an excuse rather than… (0:40:58) Kev: Right. (0:40:59) Al: like an explanation for things and trying to understand, what’s her name? (0:41:02) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:41:04) Kev: Yep. (0:41:10) Al: Yes, Robin, thank you. He doesn’t really try and understand Robin’s point of view, (0:41:14) Al: he just uses his autism as an excuse, and so that’s why I marked him down. (0:41:17) Kev: You know bumping down to D, I forgot he took Robin from me. (0:41:21) Al: All right, fine, yeah, sure, fine. Maybe we do need to add, maybe we do need to add a Clint here, (0:41:23) Kev: I don’t care, I said I juggled, but I’m fine either way. (0:41:28) Al: because he needs to be lower. (0:41:32) Al: Dwarf. (0:41:32) Kev: The D tier with the understanding coin’s actually a tier lower. (0:41:37) Al: All right, so we’ll put him there, and Clint can be at the bottom of deer tier. (0:41:40) Kev: Yeah, there you go. (0:41:43) Al: Dwarf, B tier. So he runs the shop in the cave, in the mines. (0:41:50) Kev: Ah, okay, sure, it’s cool (0:41:54) Al: you also get a little bit of backstory about him when you progress. (0:41:58) Al: progress crow buses line because the dwarfs and the shadow people had a war and they end up fighting and you have to like calm them down and say “look it’s not a war anymore, would you shut up?” (0:42:00) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:42:04) Kev: Oh, I did it (0:42:09) Kev: Whoa, I didn’t know that well, he’s that one guy (0:42:12) Al: Have you not experienced that bit? (0:42:13) Kev: No, I don’t think I have. Well, that’s cool. Like that one guy in Vietnam. I thought the world’s still going on or whatever (0:42:20) Al: Yeah, I think they both know the war is not going on but they still like, it’s like a (0:42:22) Kev: Sick (0:42:25) Al: low level feud they have. (0:42:27) Kev: Okay, good times, all right (0:42:30) Kev: Elliot (0:42:32) Kev: You know what my biggest thing for Elliot or the biggest plus for Elliot is he’s not (0:42:37) Kev: As big as of a d-bag as thought he would be just from how he looks (0:42:40) Al: Yeah, that’s fair. That’s fair (0:42:42) Kev: He’s pretty he likes to write right he’s just over there just poetrying it up or whatever (0:42:49) Kev: It’s fine. He’s not particularly mean or nasty or anything. He’s just kind of his own space doing his own thing (0:42:56) Kev: I haven’t done–I don’t remember too many events with him, to be honest. (0:43:00) Kev: Like, he’s fine. (0:43:00) Al: I think if you go into the Romance things, he is quite doting on you, shall we say. (0:43:07) Kev: Oh, that’s nice. (0:43:09) Kev: You know, I’ll give him an A. There’s a lot of awful people. (0:43:13) Kev: He’s A for being not awful. (0:43:15) Al: Emily S tier. Yeah, we love Emily. Evelyn S tier. Good, good, good. George B tier. He (0:43:18) Kev: Uh, yeah, all right. (0:43:25) Kev: Oh, one thousand percent. (0:43:32) Al: has some positives and he has some negatives. He’s a grumpy old man, but I think he has (0:43:36) Al: the right to be a grumpy old man. And also he can be quite nice in a few situations where (0:43:44) Al: you actually you realize (0:43:45) Al: that there’s reasons why he’s grumpy and oh well obviously he’s old you know (0:43:49) Kev: Yeah, I mean, yeah, but (0:43:49) Al: why he’s old but he comes across initially as just a grumpy old man but (0:43:55) Al: you find many more layers to him and he actually can be quite nice when you get (0:43:55) Kev: Mm-hmm. Yeah (0:43:58) Kev: Yeah, I agree be for that cuz he’s got he’s layered like you say right that’s that’s all (0:44:06) Al: ‘Gill’ he’s one of the adventurers guilds people. I’m gonna go for C purely because (0:44:14) Kev: Okay, that’s why his name is Gil. (0:44:21) Al: there’s nothing really we know about him other than just he is there and yeah I feel like (0:44:24) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:44:27) Al: I want to know more about him. (0:44:29) Kev: Isn’t either one who go saves you if you fall in the caves (0:44:31) Al: All right no Linus saves you if you if you die in the caves. (0:44:34) Kev: No lines you’re right right sorry, yes, I can’t next up yes next up (0:44:37) Al: Don’t be taking it from from our guy Linus. (0:44:41) Al: Next we have the governor. (0:44:44) Kev: Oh my gosh, I forgot it comes for that one festival, right? (0:44:45) Al: So I think his I think yeah I think that’s his only his only appearance is the festival (0:44:52) Al: and let me tell you he is not very good at telling you that your soup isn’t great right (0:44:57) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:44:57) Al: he doesn’t he doesn’t he doesn’t go there oh no he goes this is disgusting. I think he’s I think (0:45:03) Kev: Mm-hmm sure I didn’t vote for him (0:45:04) Al: you see. (0:45:07) Al: Uh, grandpa. (0:45:11) Kev: Okay, I’ve never made it to grandpa I (0:45:14) Al: What? You’ve never made it past year two. (0:45:16) Kev: Made it to year two. I never know so tell me about grandpa (0:45:19) Al: What? So, right, okay. So, obviously, positive, he gave us the farm. (0:45:27) Al: That is where the positives end. Why does he wait until we are, you know, (0:45:35) Al: nearly going to kill people and are (0:45:36) Al: off his job for us to open this letter, like he tells you, you should only open this (0:45:41) Al: letter at this situation. And it’s like, why could we not have had more years of an enjoyable (0:45:47) Al: life helping people in the valley? And like, I don’t understand that. He’s really judgmental. (0:45:53) Al: He gives you, he doesn’t consider you as a whole person unless you are married and have (0:46:02) Al: children. I just yeah he he’s a little bit (0:46:06) Al: old-fashioned. I don’t really feel like he having said that at least his dot (0:46:11) Al: his he

[00:30.760 –> 00:35.880] Hello farmers and welcome to another episode of the harvest season. [00:35.880 –> 00:37.440] My name is Al. [00:37.440 –> 00:38.920] I’m Kevin. [00:38.920 –> 00:42.000] And we’re here today to talk about Harvest Moon. [00:42.000 –> 00:44.660] Yeah, yeah, living up to the name. [00:44.660 –> 00:45.660] All the Harvest Moon. [00:45.660 –> 00:46.660] Our name, the harvest. [00:46.660 –> 00:47.660] Yeah. [00:47.660 –> 00:50.440] This is our Harvest Moon Bonanza episode. [00:50.440 –> 00:55.920] Yeah, we’re going to the old, the new, the good, the bad, all of it. [00:55.920 –> 00:56.920] Yeah. [00:56.920 –> 00:58.920] And we’ll not tell you which is which yet. [00:58.920 –> 01:05.980] So before we get into that, obviously, transcripts are, as always, available in the show notes [01:05.980 –> 01:07.360] and on the website. [01:07.360 –> 01:09.320] So they’re there if you need them. [01:09.320 –> 01:14.200] Yeah, we’ve got a bunch of news to talk about. [01:14.200 –> 01:21.240] And then we’re going to do a dive into a bunch of information that’s come up on Harvest Moon [01:21.240 –> 01:24.280] Winds of Anthos over the last week. [01:24.280 –> 01:30.620] Coincidentally, this was coincidental, on the week that we decided that we were going [01:30.620 –> 01:37.060] to play the original Harvest Moon, now that it’s out on Nintendo Switch Online. [01:37.060 –> 01:39.680] So we’re going to talk about that at the end as well. [01:39.680 –> 01:46.540] Yeah, that’s gonna, that’s really an interesting timing there, how it all lined up. [01:46.540 –> 01:47.540] It’s amazing. [01:47.540 –> 01:48.540] I love it. [01:48.540 –> 01:52.440] I wish more episodes worked like this. [01:52.440 –> 01:56.080] But before all of that, Kevin, what have you been up to? [01:56.080 –> 01:58.220] Oh, good question. [01:58.220 –> 02:00.160] So I’m doing early plug. [02:00.160 –> 02:04.440] I didn’t talk about last week, but the episodes already out. [02:04.440 –> 02:05.720] Things have been busy over at the other show. [02:05.720 –> 02:11.200] I’m now working with our dear friend Alex on Rainbow Road Radio. [02:11.200 –> 02:15.640] I’ve been play well, not this as much this week, but I’ve been playing a little bit of [02:15.640 –> 02:19.880] Super Mario Sunshine, because we covered that. [02:19.880 –> 02:25.560] There’s a big media episode for you guys to listen if you want to hear my in-depth thoughts, [02:25.560 –> 02:28.080] but my general consensus, I still like the game. [02:28.080 –> 02:29.320] I’m giving it a thumbs up. [02:29.320 –> 02:30.320] Yeah. [02:30.320 –> 02:32.200] Do I get to have feedback on your episode here? [02:32.200 –> 02:33.200] That sounds fun. [02:33.200 –> 02:34.200] Sure. [02:34.200 –> 02:35.200] Yes. [02:35.200 –> 02:36.200] I think it was great. [02:36.200 –> 02:40.320] I will say, I didn’t like the fact that there was a question over whether it was better [02:40.320 –> 02:42.760] or worse than Mario 64. [02:42.760 –> 02:45.000] Mario 64 is terrible. [02:45.000 –> 02:50.040] Mario Sunshine definitely has its issues. [02:50.040 –> 02:53.760] You can tell it’s a 20-year-old game. [02:53.760 –> 02:57.360] You can tell it’s a 20-year-old game, which by the way, it’s insane that something that [02:57.360 –> 03:00.220] looks like that is 20 years old, but that’s just time. [03:00.220 –> 03:04.560] It just keeps moving. [03:04.560 –> 03:06.040] It works both ways here. [03:06.040 –> 03:13.960] GameCube is a weird era because not only does the stuff hold up fairly well 20 years later, [03:13.960 –> 03:22.960] but if you look at what was out five years before, it’s insane, because 64 is not that [03:22.960 –> 03:24.040] far before Sunshine. [03:24.040 –> 03:25.260] It’s crazy. [03:25.260 –> 03:26.260] This is the thing. [03:26.260 –> 03:34.680] If you look at screenshots of Mario 64 next to Mario Sunshine, they look a decade apart. [03:34.680 –> 03:42.680] You can literally see the polygons on him in Mario 64, and in Mario Sunshine, it’s smooth. [03:42.680 –> 03:45.760] If it’s the sort of thing that was released just now, people would be like, oh, it’s a [03:45.760 –> 03:50.160] little bit outdated graphics, but they wouldn’t be like, oh, it’s horrific. [03:50.160 –> 03:52.160] It’s pretty good, still. [03:52.160 –> 03:55.720] You get an indie developer in this day and age who would release it and nobody would [03:55.720 –> 03:59.600] bat an eye, right? [03:59.600 –> 04:00.760] It’s not that far behind. [04:00.760 –> 04:01.760] It’s insane. [04:01.760 –> 04:04.200] Yeah, yeah, definitely. [04:04.200 –> 04:07.760] The biggest thing, I think, as you discussed on the episode, is the camera. [04:07.760 –> 04:08.760] Yeah. [04:08.760 –> 04:09.760] Real issues. [04:09.760 –> 04:10.760] It’s the camera. [04:10.840 –> 04:14.960] The Mario team have figured that out, and the newer games have much better cameras. [04:14.960 –> 04:17.760] Yeah, yeah, they are. [04:17.760 –> 04:23.920] It’d be nice to see that game get a proper remake, not just this weird half port that [04:23.920 –> 04:26.960] they do for the collection or whatever. [04:26.960 –> 04:31.580] I think I’d be fine with, I mean, I get why you would want that, but I think it would [04:31.580 –> 04:37.780] also be fun if they just had the flood in a newer game, because that was what makes [04:37.780 –> 04:39.200] it different, right? [04:39.200 –> 04:40.200] Absolutely. [04:40.640 –> 04:45.960] I know the whole, oh yeah, well, Bowser’s Fury is like the spiritual successor to Sunshine, [04:45.960 –> 04:49.040] and I get why people are saying that, but it’s not the same. [04:49.040 –> 04:51.120] No, absolutely not. [04:51.120 –> 04:58.440] I think it was, getting more in-depth, there was stuff in the code that implied it was [04:58.440 –> 05:03.000] very much more, not just going to be spiritual, it was going to be, they were working on a [05:03.000 –> 05:05.920] Sunshine sequel to some degree, but there’s no flood. [05:05.920 –> 05:08.720] And that’s the thing that makes Sunshine, Sunshine. [05:09.240 –> 05:14.120] It’s built on the same code base, similar in lots of ways, but without the flood, it’s [05:14.120 –> 05:15.120] not the same. [05:15.120 –> 05:17.320] Yeah, you’re super right. [05:17.320 –> 05:22.040] I said like a remake, because I don’t think I will ever see flood come back in a game [05:22.040 –> 05:28.760] in my lifetime, or a new game, let’s say, so that’s why I’m thinking of the remake, [05:28.760 –> 05:30.760] but of course that would be my preference. [05:30.760 –> 05:32.760] I would give for a new flood. [05:32.760 –> 05:34.760] That’d be good fun. [05:34.800 –> 05:42.800] Yeah, and again, a little tidbit from that episode, but there were like, seven? [05:42.800 –> 05:45.800] They originally had like ten different nozzles for flood? [05:45.800 –> 05:46.800] Yeah. [05:46.800 –> 05:51.800] I want to know, oh god, okay, yeah, I’d love to see a sequel with more stuff. [05:51.800 –> 05:52.800] That would be fun. [05:52.800 –> 05:57.240] Yeah, but regardless, Sunshine, that was a good media episode, go listen to it, thank [05:57.240 –> 05:59.720] you for listening, Al. [05:59.720 –> 06:03.720] And actually, I highly recommend the episode that we’ll be releasing, well actually it’ll [06:03.760 –> 06:08.840] probably be out by the time listeners are listening to this, because Mario Wonder, we [06:08.840 –> 06:16.200] got our direct, and so we got the content for you guys, we go in-depth into our thoughts [06:16.200 –> 06:17.200] on Wonder. [06:17.200 –> 06:19.960] This was a good time to start a Mario. [06:19.960 –> 06:28.920] I know, it’s so good, yeah, it was great timing, much like this episode. [06:28.920 –> 06:37.160] But anyways, aside from the Mario life, nothing too crazy, I’ve been Tears of the Kingdoming, [06:37.160 –> 06:39.160] guess what, still good. [06:39.160 –> 06:40.160] Shock. [06:40.160 –> 06:45.920] Yeah, Don-Don’s are cool, I met them, I saved the pirates, no, I killed the pirates and [06:45.920 –> 06:50.320] saved literally another way around. [06:50.320 –> 06:56.960] Other than that, nothing too exciting, Unite, Snap, oh, the Mewtwo raids, I guess we can [06:57.000 –> 07:01.360] talk about that, or Scarlet Violet. [07:01.360 –> 07:10.720] It’s fine, I guess, it happened, I did it, I mean, there’s a whole spiel here I could [07:10.720 –> 07:19.240] go into, but there’s just something about optimizing an event like this, a strategy [07:19.240 –> 07:24.120] so well that it kills the fun for me a little bit. [07:24.600 –> 07:31.840] I get that, I guess the problem is that I think is people’s problem, unless you just [07:31.840 –> 07:40.640] go like, well, the raid can do these 10 different things, and therefore you can’t plan for it. [07:40.640 –> 07:44.680] Unless you do that, I don’t think there’s really a way to not have that happen, because [07:44.680 –> 07:49.960] you have thousands of players who are like, I need to min-max this, I need to figure out [07:49.960 –> 07:52.080] how to solve this. [07:52.080 –> 07:58.840] I find it quite fun to see the crazy strategies, like, oh, why on earth is everybody setting [07:58.840 –> 07:59.840] up electric terrain? [07:59.840 –> 08:03.120] Oh, it’s because apparently electric terrain means you can’t sleep. [08:03.120 –> 08:04.120] Oh, that’s fun. [08:04.120 –> 08:09.560] That’s an interesting one, I did not realize that was a thing, that’s the kind of parts [08:09.560 –> 08:14.320] of the game that I’ve never really been bothered to be interested in because I’m not a competitive [08:14.320 –> 08:15.320] player. [08:15.960 –> 08:23.800] Yeah, and to get, I guess for people who don’t play Pokemon or don’t know, there’s an event [08:23.800 –> 08:28.720] where you team up with three other players and you can fight a big Mewtwo, well not actually [08:28.720 –> 08:31.080] big, but it’s a very strong Mewtwo, right? [08:31.080 –> 08:37.760] And if you happen to have a Mew on you, which they gave out in distribution, or you happen [08:37.760 –> 08:42.200] to have one transferred in for whatever, you get a boost to your Mew, because there’s that [08:42.200 –> 08:47.200] rivalry in Pokemon Mew vs Mewtwo or whatever, and that’s fun and all, right? [08:47.200 –> 08:56.080] And so yeah, so there’s these obviously very efficient strategies to be in the event, but [08:56.080 –> 09:02.880] the real kicker is Mew has the ultimate, or like the poster child for adaptability, can [09:02.880 –> 09:06.160] learn every move, do everything, whatever it wants to, right? [09:06.160 –> 09:13.440] So I would have preferred a weaker Mewtwo where you didn’t have to maximize your strategy [09:13.440 –> 09:20.120] to, because it is a difficult challenge if you don’t know what you’re doing, right? [09:20.120 –> 09:26.560] But if it were so weak that, if it were doable without having to do that, right, where everyone [09:26.560 –> 09:30.840] could just run different things, or you could plan maybe something with your teammates, [09:30.840 –> 09:33.440] where everyone didn’t have to be the same, I think I’d enjoy that more. [09:33.440 –> 09:40.680] But that is, you know, that’s just wishful thinking, Cela V, it’s min-maxing video games, [09:40.680 –> 09:42.880] it’s what you’re going to do. [09:42.880 –> 09:43.880] But that’s what I’ve been up to. [09:43.880 –> 09:44.880] What about you, Al? [09:44.880 –> 09:45.880] What’s going on? [09:45.880 –> 09:50.080] Yeah, well, obviously I was doing the Pokemon raids as well, I quite enjoyed the getting, [09:50.080 –> 09:54.040] I think it took me about four turns, and we finally got a team together that was actually [09:54.040 –> 09:58.200] knew what they were doing, and we still had to do, I think the fun thing about this one [09:58.200 –> 10:01.760] is like, yeah, you have a strategy, but you still have to do it, and you have to do it [10:01.760 –> 10:02.760] well. [10:02.760 –> 10:06.040] So it’s like, you know, it takes the whole, was it five minutes? [10:06.040 –> 10:07.040] Is that how long one is? [10:07.040 –> 10:12.920] It takes almost the entire five minutes to do that, even if you’re doing everything perfectly. [10:12.920 –> 10:18.600] And just seeing like four random people connecting online, not knowing each other, and noticing [10:18.600 –> 10:22.480] what the others are doing, and just adapting to that, and just going, that was really fun, [10:22.480 –> 10:23.480] right? [10:23.480 –> 10:27.800] Because especially in the one that I won, like all four of us set up light screen turn [10:27.800 –> 10:32.640] one, and I was like, Oh, no, it’s just a group full of support Pokemon, we’re gonna lose. [10:32.640 –> 10:37.440] But then it turns out that the other two of the people had leech life, which is the [10:37.440 –> 10:41.640] big, big hair that you have to take it down. [10:41.640 –> 10:46.360] And they just they just started getting to the strategy that would lead them to do the [10:46.360 –> 10:48.680] swords dancing and leech life, blah, blah, blah. [10:48.680 –> 10:58.240] And I had the right moves for both to be support or be technical and the other and so we kind [10:58.240 –> 11:02.480] of me and the other one kind of just tag teamed and it worked really well, which was good [11:03.120 –> 11:08.640] Yeah, see, I’ll say that to like, that sounds pretty fun. [11:08.640 –> 11:12.920] I did mine with a team off the bat of people I was talking to, like I didn’t do with random. [11:12.920 –> 11:17.840] So we got it one and done pretty much we had it on the bat. [11:17.840 –> 11:24.160] But I will say that it is fun, at least even we because with four people, like you said, [11:24.160 –> 11:26.680] there’s there’s different roles and different movesets you can carry. [11:26.680 –> 11:28.480] So there’s a little variability. [11:28.480 –> 11:33.440] And yes, as you could probably pack one of different move to kind of pivot if you need [11:33.440 –> 11:36.880] to in the middle of a battle, which I did as well at some point. [11:36.880 –> 11:39.160] So that that is a little then it’s kind of fun. [11:39.160 –> 11:40.880] And so yeah, I did that. [11:40.880 –> 11:46.600] I’ve obviously been playing some Harvest Moon, original Harvest Moon for the SNES on the [11:46.600 –> 11:47.600] Nintendo Switch. [11:47.600 –> 11:48.600] Of course. [11:48.600 –> 11:52.600] This is my first time playing with these, these virtual console, whatever you don’t [11:52.600 –> 11:53.600] play any of them before. [11:53.600 –> 11:58.060] No, I’ve never, you’ve broken the dam, you’re going to be all in on all of them. [11:58.060 –> 12:01.660] You kind of Yeah, now that I saw. [12:01.660 –> 12:02.660] It’s not too bad. [12:02.660 –> 12:05.780] I’ll probably pick up some of the other ones finally try that Pokemon trading card game [12:05.780 –> 12:06.780] for the game. [12:06.780 –> 12:07.780] Well, that’s so good. [12:07.780 –> 12:10.620] I think I think that has aged really well as well. [12:10.620 –> 12:13.500] Like obviously, the graphics are very clearly Gameboy. [12:13.500 –> 12:19.980] But that’s, that’s like, that’s a style people still do because they like it so much. [12:19.980 –> 12:23.620] And it’s just obviously quite a limited selection of Pokemon and cards. [12:23.620 –> 12:26.500] But the actual the gameplay is solid. [12:26.500 –> 12:28.360] Like the game works really well. [12:28.360 –> 12:32.860] Like I’ve gone back to that game multiple times over the years, which is wild to think [12:32.860 –> 12:34.820] about. [12:34.820 –> 12:39.340] Because card games can be kind of hard to do on like, or easy to mess up. [12:39.340 –> 12:41.300] Let’s say on on a video game. [12:41.300 –> 12:42.300] Yeah. [12:42.300 –> 12:47.540] And so yeah, I am very curious just to see that because yeah, I don’t I hear nothing [12:47.540 –> 12:48.660] but good things about it. [12:48.660 –> 12:54.300] So that’s why I really hope I really want them to bring the sequel, translate the sequel [12:54.300 –> 12:56.100] out because that was Japan only originally. [12:56.100 –> 12:57.100] Yeah. [12:57.100 –> 13:00.460] So I’ve never never played that because I know this fan translations and stuff, but [13:00.460 –> 13:01.460] it’s not. [13:01.460 –> 13:02.460] Yeah. [13:02.460 –> 13:03.460] Yeah, of course. [13:03.460 –> 13:09.260] So, um, and I fell back into Marvel snap, oops. [13:09.260 –> 13:13.100] I think last last week, last week when we were talking, you were talking about Marvel [13:13.100 –> 13:15.480] snap and I was like, oh, I played it for ages. [13:15.480 –> 13:19.900] And then I think you’d mentioned the daily, the daily bonuses we’re getting at that point. [13:19.900 –> 13:20.900] Yeah. [13:20.900 –> 13:23.140] So I went in and got them. [13:23.140 –> 13:30.380] And oops, within the last week, I did the entire season. [13:30.380 –> 13:31.700] So yeah, that was crazy. [13:31.700 –> 13:34.260] Although this is where my complaint about this game comes in. [13:34.260 –> 13:38.940] Yeah, apparently, they don’t give you enough experience in the season pass missions to [13:38.940 –> 13:42.340] get to level 50 in the season pass, which is very annoying. [13:42.340 –> 13:45.940] If that is wild, if you’ve been playing the whole month and doing daily missions most [13:45.940 –> 13:50.460] days and, uh, and that sort of stuff, then you can, you can easily get enough for free, [13:50.460 –> 13:54.660] but not if you just, if you do it all at the end, which is really annoying. [13:54.660 –> 13:58.620] It’s like, I feel like they should, I feel like they should be able if you do every single [13:58.620 –> 14:02.300] season pass mission, I feel like you should be able to get to 50 right. [14:02.300 –> 14:03.440] That’s that. [14:03.440 –> 14:07.660] It’s not like because they clearly, they’ve clearly built it up around that, right? [14:07.660 –> 14:10.880] Because it’s enough to get you to 45, right? [14:10.880 –> 14:14.660] It’s not like it only gets you to 20 and you have to do so much more work to get it. [14:14.660 –> 14:15.660] I didn’t know that. [14:15.660 –> 14:16.660] 45. [14:16.660 –> 14:19.260] Oh, that’s, that’s cold. [14:19.260 –> 14:20.260] Thanks. [14:20.260 –> 14:21.260] Oh, just right. [14:21.260 –> 14:23.880] Oh, that’s, that’s rough. [14:23.880 –> 14:28.340] So I’m trying to decide in the next day, cause I think we’ve got one day left of it. [14:28.340 –> 14:32.900] It’s literally a day and a couple of hours or something to decide if I’m buying the season [14:32.900 –> 14:36.340] pass because I can’t just buy the 10 quid season pass. [14:36.340 –> 14:38.280] You can’t, I can’t do that. [14:38.280 –> 14:42.060] So I’d need to buy the 15 quid one, which gives you the extra 10 levels and would take [14:42.060 –> 14:43.060] me up to 50. [14:43.060 –> 14:44.060] It’s just so annoying. [14:44.460 –> 14:48.420] Well, it sounds like it worked exactly as they planned on you. [14:48.420 –> 14:49.420] They got you. [14:49.420 –> 14:50.420] Yeah. [14:50.420 –> 14:54.060] They got me in with those dailies and then I had was just enough time to get through [14:54.060 –> 14:59.460] all the missions and then be annoyed and have to pay more money is genius. [14:59.460 –> 15:02.420] At the very least, this season passes. [15:02.420 –> 15:03.420] Okay. [15:03.420 –> 15:07.580] It’s at least for me personally, like I’m not, I wouldn’t be weeping if I didn’t get [15:07.580 –> 15:08.580] it. [15:08.580 –> 15:11.700] Next one seems much cooler, but regardless, that’s just a preference thing. [15:11.700 –> 15:12.700] Yeah. [15:12.700 –> 15:13.700] Maybe, maybe I’ll just, I mean, there’s, there’s, there’s. [15:14.340 –> 15:15.860] I mean, the thing is, right. [15:15.860 –> 15:16.980] It’s a good value. [15:16.980 –> 15:17.980] The season pass anyway. [15:17.980 –> 15:18.980] It is a great value. [15:18.980 –> 15:24.100] You get so much gold and you get loads of good stuff. [15:24.100 –> 15:28.580] And so it’s like, it is the best value thing to buy in the game. [15:28.580 –> 15:32.980] And it’s like, I’ve now, I’ve spent a week unlocking basically everything and it’s like, [15:32.980 –> 15:39.180] I can pay 15 quid and get all the, all these 55 levels. [15:39.180 –> 15:42.900] But anyway, whatever I’ll decide tomorrow, how long I’ve got one day? [15:42.900 –> 15:44.420] Time’s good right now. [15:44.420 –> 15:45.420] One day and eight hours. [15:45.420 –> 15:49.700] So I need to, I did basically need to decide by the end of tomorrow cause it flips over [15:49.700 –> 15:50.700] while I’m… [15:50.700 –> 15:53.940] Did you, did you play on PC or just on your phone? [15:53.940 –> 15:55.580] I’ve done about, I’ve done about both. [15:55.580 –> 15:59.780] And so I’ve not played it on PC cause I use, I use a Mac most of the time, but I, on the [15:59.780 –> 16:02.700] Mac you can use the iPad app. [16:02.700 –> 16:06.900] So I’ve been doing it on my phone and, and using the iPad app on, on my, on my computer. [16:06.900 –> 16:08.980] And it’s good fun. [16:08.980 –> 16:13.500] I do kind of want to, I mean, I’m currently on a windows machine, like talking to you, [16:13.500 –> 16:17.740] but this is, recording the podcast is the only thing I use it for. [16:17.740 –> 16:20.060] So I might install it after this and see how it looks. [16:20.060 –> 16:26.420] Cause I know it’s, it’s like widescreen, isn’t it? [16:26.420 –> 16:31.380] It’s weird because like, obviously Marvel Snap is a very mobily mobile game designed [16:31.380 –> 16:33.140] for mobile to fit that phone. [16:33.140 –> 16:34.140] Right. [16:34.140 –> 16:38.760] And so it is wide screen, but like the field of play isn’t that much wider. [16:38.760 –> 16:47.520] It’s still feels very much like they just uncropped the background, but the animations [16:47.520 –> 16:50.720] and all that stuff, it is buttery smooth. [16:50.720 –> 16:52.200] It is pleasing to look at. [16:52.200 –> 16:53.560] So it’s still worth checking out. [16:53.560 –> 16:55.080] Oh, here’s an important question. [16:55.080 –> 16:56.080] It’s on Steam. [16:56.080 –> 16:57.080] That’s how you get it, right? [16:57.080 –> 16:58.080] Yeah. [16:58.080 –> 16:59.760] Does that mean you can play on Steam Deck? [16:59.760 –> 17:01.660] I want to say yes. [17:01.660 –> 17:06.560] So the only, the only thing, the only thing on the compatibility is that it doesn’t use [17:06.560 –> 17:12.400] the, it uses the onscreen keyboard for some things, which is, means it’s not technically [17:12.400 –> 17:15.840] fully compatible, but it does mean it’s completely usable. [17:15.840 –> 17:16.840] Yeah, probably. [17:16.840 –> 17:20.520] Like how often, I mean the only text I think you input is names of decks, right? [17:20.520 –> 17:23.600] When else would you entering text? [17:23.600 –> 17:24.600] I guess so. [17:24.600 –> 17:25.600] Yeah. [17:25.600 –> 17:26.600] That’s pretty much it. [17:26.600 –> 17:27.600] Yeah. [17:27.600 –> 17:28.600] Interesting. [17:28.600 –> 17:29.600] I wonder how it would play on the Steam Deck. [17:29.600 –> 17:32.360] Well, maybe you should let us know next week. [17:32.360 –> 17:33.880] Maybe I should. [17:33.880 –> 17:34.880] Maybe I should. [17:34.880 –> 17:35.880] Okay. [17:35.880 –> 17:36.880] Yeah. [17:36.880 –> 17:38.520] So that’s what we’ve been playing. [17:38.520 –> 17:40.760] Let’s talk about some news. [17:40.760 –> 17:47.720] So first of all, we have three games announcing their release dates over the next month. [17:47.720 –> 17:48.720] Three games! [17:48.720 –> 17:49.720] That’s… [17:49.720 –> 17:50.720] Why? [17:50.720 –> 17:55.680] It’s not like there’s anything else in September you need to worry about. [17:55.680 –> 18:00.300] First up, we have Sprout Valley, which is coming out on the 8th of September. [18:00.300 –> 18:01.680] So that’s just in a few days. [18:01.680 –> 18:04.720] And two days after this episode comes out, that’s Sprout Valley. [18:04.720 –> 18:05.720] Okay. [18:05.720 –> 18:10.360] Before you even describe the game, naming that, that’s a dangerous game and they know [18:10.360 –> 18:11.360] what they’re doing. [18:11.360 –> 18:14.360] Oh, they absolutely know what they’re doing. [18:14.360 –> 18:15.360] That’s bold. [18:15.360 –> 18:20.880] That takes some chutzpah to do an SV with a valley. [18:20.880 –> 18:21.880] It’s not just that. [18:21.880 –> 18:24.280] Stardew Valley was originally called Sprout Valley before. [18:24.280 –> 18:25.280] Was it? [18:25.280 –> 18:26.280] Yeah. [18:26.280 –> 18:27.280] Oh. [18:27.280 –> 18:31.280] So, I don’t know whether they knew that or not, but that is a thing. [18:31.280 –> 18:32.280] Yeah. [18:32.280 –> 18:33.280] So that’s 8th of September. [18:33.280 –> 18:34.960] That one’s coming out. [18:34.960 –> 18:40.520] And then Moonstone Island are coming out on the 20th of September. [18:40.520 –> 18:44.400] Actually, can I back up to Sprout Valley because we’re just listening there, but I just want [18:44.400 –> 18:51.480] to comment like, for people who look at the video, it looks like a Tamagotchi farming [18:51.480 –> 18:52.480] game. [18:52.480 –> 18:53.480] Yeah. [18:53.480 –> 18:54.480] I guess the sprites are kind of Tamagotchi. [18:54.480 –> 18:55.480] Yeah. [18:55.480 –> 18:56.480] I can see it. [18:56.480 –> 18:57.480] It is cute, right? [18:57.480 –> 18:58.480] It is. [18:58.480 –> 18:59.480] Yeah. [18:59.480 –> 19:00.480] I will say that it looks very cute. [19:00.680 –> 19:01.680] Yeah. [19:01.680 –> 19:02.680] Moonstone Island. [19:02.680 –> 19:03.680] That’s a thing. [19:03.680 –> 19:04.680] Yeah. [19:04.680 –> 19:05.680] Moonstone Island, 20th of September. [19:05.680 –> 19:08.560] Do I want to complain about the summer thing? [19:08.560 –> 19:09.560] I don’t know. [19:09.560 –> 19:10.560] Yes. [19:10.560 –> 19:11.560] September’s not summer. [19:11.560 –> 19:12.560] Yeah. [19:12.560 –> 19:16.960] So they’re like, oh, we said we’re going to release in the summer, and it’s technically [19:16.960 –> 19:22.080] still summer on the 20th of September, and I’m like, if you’re going to go into technically, [19:22.080 –> 19:28.440] if you’re going to go, oh, okay, then I’m going to technically right back at you. [19:28.440 –> 19:32.000] Summer doesn’t have a universally defined, and no, I’m not talking about Northern Hemisphere [19:32.000 –> 19:33.080] and Summer of the Hemisphere. [19:33.080 –> 19:38.680] If we just talk about this Northern Hemisphere, there is no universally defined definition [19:38.680 –> 19:41.440] of summer. [19:41.440 –> 19:42.440] There are, there is like- [19:42.440 –> 19:49.040] Actually, the Equinox is on September 21st, whatever date it is, I don’t remember. [19:49.040 –> 19:50.040] This is the thing, right? [19:50.040 –> 19:52.240] Like, it’s people are like, oh, well, it’s still technically summer. [19:52.240 –> 19:55.000] It’s like, depends on your definition of summer, right? [19:55.000 –> 20:01.000] There’s the astronomical definition of summer, which, yes, does end on the 23rd of September [20:01.000 –> 20:02.120] this year, right? [20:02.120 –> 20:06.940] So yet, sure, it would be under that definition of summer. [20:06.940 –> 20:11.980] But there’s also the meteorological season, which has already ended. [20:11.980 –> 20:15.140] The 31st of August was the last day of summer in that season. [20:15.140 –> 20:19.660] And then that’s not to mention there’s the lesser used Celtic season, also sometimes [20:19.660 –> 20:24.460] named the solar season, which we, you know, defining the seasons by the sun is a crazy [20:24.460 –> 20:26.540] idea, right? [20:26.540 –> 20:28.700] Which does May through July. [20:28.700 –> 20:35.100] So if you’re going to start saying, oh, it’s technically summer, I’m gonna say, well, technically, [20:35.100 –> 20:38.540] it depends on your definition, so. [20:38.540 –> 20:46.540] So regardless of when it’s, it’s not releasing in summer, I don’t care what they say. [20:46.540 –> 20:51.820] People don’t remember, it’s, this is monster collecting card is farming, there’s a lot [20:51.820 –> 20:52.820] of things going on. [20:52.860 –> 21:02.700] It’s a monster collection farming game on like floating islands in the sky. [21:02.700 –> 21:05.420] There’s a lot going on. [21:05.420 –> 21:06.420] There’s a lot. [21:06.420 –> 21:12.420] I mean, to me, it does look like it could be a lot of fun, but I need to play it to [21:12.420 –> 21:13.420] see. [21:13.420 –> 21:14.420] Yeah. [21:14.420 –> 21:17.020] I can’t remember whether this one is one of the ones I kickstarted or not. [21:17.020 –> 21:21.540] I don’t. [21:21.580 –> 21:26.860] When you do so many things like this, sometimes it’s hard to stand out because it has all [21:26.860 –> 21:30.580] the buzzwords or whatever. [21:30.580 –> 21:35.940] But that said, looking at the trailer, there is, oh my gosh, they even have romancing, [21:35.940 –> 21:36.940] don’t they? [21:36.940 –> 21:37.940] Oh, yup. [21:37.940 –> 21:38.940] Yup. [21:38.940 –> 21:39.940] You’re going to go on a date there. [21:39.940 –> 21:40.940] Oh, goodness. [21:40.940 –> 21:41.940] On the sky islands. [21:41.940 –> 21:46.060] You got to go on dates in the sky islands. [21:46.060 –> 21:50.180] See what they should have done was just focused on their little monster designs are quite [21:50.180 –> 21:51.180] fun. [21:51.340 –> 21:53.700] There’s a very tall like tree log guy. [21:53.700 –> 21:57.260] There’s a cool robot golem you fight. [21:57.260 –> 21:59.780] There is, they put a lot of care into the game. [21:59.780 –> 22:00.780] I’ll say that. [22:00.780 –> 22:01.780] Right. [22:01.780 –> 22:02.780] Yeah. [22:02.780 –> 22:11.020] Whether I don’t know if other directions they wanted to go to and was the best call. [22:11.020 –> 22:12.980] They are putting effort into it. [22:12.980 –> 22:13.980] Yeah. [22:13.980 –> 22:21.780] Also I do like, I am, I like the card battle menu where you pick a card to do it and tag [22:21.780 –> 22:23.300] it even if it’s just flavor. [22:23.300 –> 22:24.340] I like it. [22:24.340 –> 22:29.900] It’s a nice looking thing, but, but yeah, you can look at your, look at the trailer [22:29.900 –> 22:32.900] yourself and decide if you want to pick it up on September 20th. [22:32.900 –> 22:38.140] But yeah, it does, it does feel a lot like it’s the, oh, we’re wanting this game to be [22:38.140 –> 22:42.660] five different games in one and that can work and sometimes it doesn’t work. [22:42.660 –> 22:46.980] So we’ll, we’ll see whether this one works or not. [22:46.980 –> 22:48.420] This one, I didn’t kickstart it. [22:48.420 –> 22:50.940] I don’t know whether it was a kickstarter or not, but I didn’t. [22:50.940 –> 22:52.700] I didn’t kickstart it. [22:52.700 –> 22:54.140] I did kickstart Sprout Valley. [22:54.140 –> 22:56.140] So I’ve got that coming. [22:56.140 –> 22:57.140] Yes. [22:57.140 –> 22:58.140] Free game. [22:58.140 –> 23:05.680] And the third game that’s announced its release date is A Tiny Sticker Tale. [23:05.680 –> 23:10.220] This is the one, I mean, it’s not really a Cottagecore game, but it is by the developers [23:10.220 –> 23:11.220] of Lonesome Village. [23:11.220 –> 23:12.220] So that’s why I’m mentioning it. [23:12.220 –> 23:15.220] I mean, it has the vibes. [23:15.220 –> 23:16.220] Yeah. [23:16.220 –> 23:17.220] Yeah. [23:17.220 –> 23:18.220] Yeah. [23:18.220 –> 23:19.220] Yeah. [23:19.220 –> 23:22.440] I think that would be what some people would call a cozy game, not necessarily a cottage [23:22.440 –> 23:23.860] core game. [23:23.860 –> 23:30.620] If we want to get into these definitions, we don’t want to get into these definitions. [23:30.620 –> 23:32.940] If we wanted to, that’s what I would say. [23:32.940 –> 23:33.940] Okay. [23:33.940 –> 23:37.260] So, um, but yeah, this is from Lonesome Village. [23:37.260 –> 23:41.460] We covered that game a while back, Johnny and I, they’re the Mexican developers. [23:41.460 –> 23:45.680] So of course I’m going to probably get this game regardless and support them. [23:45.680 –> 23:50.860] I will say, I don’t know what the Lonesome Numbers Village were, but this looks like [23:50.860 –> 23:55.440] they got a little more, uh, a little more love when maybe they had a little bit more [23:55.440 –> 23:57.140] money for some production value. [23:57.140 –> 23:58.140] Yeah. [23:58.140 –> 23:59.140] Yeah. [23:59.140 –> 24:00.140] Yeah. [24:00.140 –> 24:03.020] So for people who may not remember, Lonesome Village was essentially a puzzle collection [24:03.020 –> 24:04.020] of games. [24:04.020 –> 24:05.020] They’re very good. [24:05.020 –> 24:06.020] Good one. [24:06.020 –> 24:09.020] Um, like, uh, all sorts of different types of puzzles and whatnot. [24:09.020 –> 24:13.660] This one, you’re going through an adventure sort of thing. [24:13.660 –> 24:16.620] And as the name implies, tiny sticker tale. [24:16.620 –> 24:20.380] You’re using stickers to actually put stuff, like you put a sticker of a bridge to make [24:20.380 –> 24:21.380] a bridge. [24:21.380 –> 24:23.380] Um, it’s actually a clever, cute idea. [24:23.380 –> 24:24.380] Yeah. [24:24.380 –> 24:25.380] Yeah. [24:25.380 –> 24:30.620] And it’s on this, it’s really small levels, um, where you’re basically getting from one [24:30.620 –> 24:34.020] side to the other using stickers as a kind of, it’s again, puzzle-y, right? [24:34.020 –> 24:36.740] They clearly love their puzzle games, which is totally fun. [24:36.740 –> 24:41.220] Um, and what I really like about what they’ve done is it’s, it’s, it’s the same art style. [24:41.220 –> 24:45.380] And I don’t know if any of the characters are exactly the same, but like it’s clearly [24:45.380 –> 24:49.100] leaning into its strongest thing, which is the art style. [24:49.100 –> 24:50.100] It’s super cute. [24:50.100 –> 24:56.220] And I like when they can do that and it works well because then you’ve got a love of consistency [24:56.220 –> 24:59.420] across multiple games, which is good fun. [24:59.420 –> 25:07.220] And also their art style works really well for stickers actually, so, um, yeah, it goes [25:07.220 –> 25:08.220] great. [25:08.220 –> 25:11.360] Cause it’s like all, they’re all kind of like 2D sprites on the world. [25:11.360 –> 25:16.100] They’re big, bold shapes, round cartoons. [25:16.100 –> 25:17.820] So it works great. [25:17.820 –> 25:23.900] Um, and it looks like you can just spit ball, I haven’t read anything, I’m just off this [25:23.900 –> 25:24.900] one trailer. [25:24.900 –> 25:28.740] It looks like you can even decorate a little house or something with your stickers and [25:28.740 –> 25:29.740] that’s nice. [25:29.740 –> 25:30.740] Yeah. [25:30.740 –> 25:31.740] Um, which is good. [25:31.740 –> 25:36.740] I don’t think we see enough stickers in video games like gameplay wise, like actually doing [25:36.740 –> 25:37.740] something with them. [25:37.740 –> 25:38.740] Yeah. [25:38.740 –> 25:42.460] Last one I can think of was that Paper Mario game and that one did not work well with stickers. [25:42.460 –> 25:45.220] Um, yeah, it’s quite clever what they’ve done here, right? [25:45.220 –> 25:47.180] Cause they’ve made the whole game play about stickers. [25:47.180 –> 25:48.180] Yeah. [25:48.180 –> 25:50.460] Of course you can then use that as a collection and base thing as well. [25:50.460 –> 25:55.020] And it’s still, uh, it’s not one of these things where your collectible is, as I’ve [25:55.020 –> 25:59.420] said multiple times before, where your collectible is just the same identical thing a hundred [25:59.420 –> 26:00.420] times. [26:00.420 –> 26:01.420] You’re getting different ones. [26:01.420 –> 26:06.380] So the collection becomes its own fun thing rather than just a thing to complete. [26:06.380 –> 26:07.380] You know? [26:07.380 –> 26:08.380] Yep. [26:08.380 –> 26:14.060] Actually I should, uh, I should, that reminds me of a very, uh, personal experience. [26:14.060 –> 26:17.340] So I buy card games and whatnot, right? [26:17.340 –> 26:18.340] Um, yeah. [26:18.340 –> 26:23.260] I buy like, I mostly do it for playing the games, but every now and then I’ll buy something [26:23.260 –> 26:27.580] like, I enjoy collecting, I don’t go after sets, but people do that. [26:27.580 –> 26:28.580] Right. [26:28.580 –> 26:30.980] But you know, the only kicker is, well, the best thing you can do is like put it in a [26:30.980 –> 26:31.980] binder or whatever. [26:31.980 –> 26:32.980] Right. [26:32.980 –> 26:35.740] Like it’s a, it’s a little hard to display or whatever. [26:35.740 –> 26:39.740] But anyways, the point I’m trying to say is back when I was younger though, in, in Mexico, [26:39.740 –> 26:44.900] I lived in Mexico for a little while, um, appropriate for this discussion, um, they [26:44.900 –> 26:50.580] would, one of the things that was hot for the kids or whatever, you could buy similar [26:50.580 –> 26:52.420] to cards, but they were stickers. [26:52.460 –> 26:55.300] Um, and there were like different things and you could buy sticker books and you could [26:55.300 –> 26:57.900] like place your stickers on in the books and stuff like that. [26:57.900 –> 27:01.500] Like I had a Dragon Ball sticker book that I fondly remember. [27:01.500 –> 27:03.580] Um, so yeah, good, good stuff. [27:03.580 –> 27:05.420] This uh, it leans into that. [27:05.420 –> 27:06.420] Stickers are fun. [27:06.420 –> 27:07.420] Yeah. [27:07.420 –> 27:08.420] Good fun. [27:08.420 –> 27:10.500] October 4th, that’s the fourth. [27:10.500 –> 27:11.500] Is that the right date? [27:11.500 –> 27:12.500] Yes. [27:12.500 –> 27:13.500] Tiny little sticker, tiny sticker tale. [27:13.500 –> 27:14.500] That’s the one. [27:14.500 –> 27:17.940] October 4th on Steam and Switch again, doing that, uh, dual release like they did for Lonesome [27:17.940 –> 27:18.940] Village. [27:18.940 –> 27:19.940] Very good for them. [27:19.940 –> 27:20.940] Cool. [27:20.940 –> 27:21.940] Yep. [27:22.460 –> 27:23.460] Cool. [27:23.460 –> 27:27.460] So that’s the three new releases over the next month and just a very, very fast rundown [27:27.460 –> 27:29.140] of September. [27:29.140 –> 27:34.780] We have Rune Factory 3 Special is out now, it came out yesterday when this episode comes [27:34.780 –> 27:35.780] out. [27:35.780 –> 27:38.860] Fae Farm and Sprout Valley, both on the 8th of September. [27:38.860 –> 27:41.420] Moonstone Island on the 20th of September. [27:41.420 –> 27:45.660] Monechos Night Market, Harvest Moon, The Winds of Anthos and Paleo Pines, all on the 26th [27:45.660 –> 27:49.860] of September and Wildmender on the 28th of September. [27:50.780 –> 27:51.780] Boy. [27:51.780 –> 27:59.780] I don’t, obviously the cottagecore space isn’t, uh, how should I put this, right? [27:59.780 –> 28:04.300] It’s maybe not as well defined or cutthroat as other spaces, right? [28:04.300 –> 28:05.300] Because like… [28:05.300 –> 28:10.540] Sure, but I mean, none of those, I have not taken any, like I know that sometimes I’m [28:10.540 –> 28:14.940] like, oh, it’s not really like, you know, sticker tale, whatever, but like that list, [28:14.940 –> 28:16.700] they’re all farming games. [28:17.660 –> 28:23.340] Like there’s, there’s no, no end, artistic license taken with them. [28:23.340 –> 28:34.300] The three big games on the one day on the 26th, whatever you said, that’s ooh, somebody’s [28:34.300 –> 28:35.900] gloves were thrown down. [28:35.900 –> 28:39.620] They like, they, the gauntlet was thrown. [28:39.620 –> 28:47.100] They, Paleo Pines looked at Monecho and then called them out. [28:47.100 –> 28:50.500] But you know, at the end of the day, Monechos Night Market is all that matters, so, you [28:50.500 –> 28:51.500] know. [28:51.500 –> 28:52.500] Yeah. [28:52.500 –> 28:57.260] It’s funny because I noticed today that apparently Winds of Anthos, I hadn’t noticed, doesn’t [28:57.260 –> 29:02.100] come out on the same day in Europe, it’s coming out like a week and a half later. [29:02.100 –> 29:04.860] And I was like, oh no, that’s really annoying. [29:04.860 –> 29:09.100] But then I realized, I’ll just, I’ll just be playing Monechos Night Market for that [29:09.100 –> 29:10.100] week anyway. [29:10.100 –> 29:11.100] Exactly. [29:11.100 –> 29:17.100] And we’re doing the Monechos Night Market episode first, because Micah’s busy. [29:17.100 –> 29:21.140] So it all works out anyway. [29:21.140 –> 29:22.140] All good. [29:22.140 –> 29:26.540] I am totally fine with that, but we’ll talk about Winds of Anthos later. [29:26.540 –> 29:27.540] Right. [29:27.540 –> 29:28.540] More news. [29:28.540 –> 29:31.660] We’ve got Disney Dreamlight Valley have announced their Cozy edition. [29:31.660 –> 29:38.780] I like the, I like the implication that the other versions of this game are not cozy. [29:38.780 –> 29:43.960] I will say something, some of those, that game gets, if you think about it, it gets [29:43.960 –> 29:44.960] dark. [29:44.960 –> 29:45.960] It’s like, it does. [29:45.960 –> 29:46.960] It’s raw. [29:46.960 –> 29:47.960] It does. [29:47.960 –> 29:50.180] So the Cozy edition doesn’t come with any of the dark stuff. [29:50.180 –> 29:51.180] It’s just cozy. [29:51.180 –> 29:52.180] No. [29:52.180 –> 29:53.180] No. [29:53.180 –> 29:54.180] Everyone’s not dead from the evil vines. [29:54.180 –> 29:56.380] This is a little bit funny, right? [29:56.380 –> 30:01.900] Because it’s a, it’s a physical case you’re getting, but with a download code. [30:01.900 –> 30:05.740] Oh, don’t you love it when they do that? [30:05.740 –> 30:09.060] But you also get a sticker set, a sticker sheet. [30:09.060 –> 30:11.460] Do you know about Fallout 76? [30:11.460 –> 30:17.620] I mean, about the game or like the physical, the physical, the physical edition of Fallout [30:17.620 –> 30:18.620] 76. [30:18.620 –> 30:19.900] No. [30:19.900 –> 30:20.900] Was that the same thing? [30:20.900 –> 30:28.260] It was a similar thing, but the download code, they actually put a paper disc in the CD slot [30:28.260 –> 30:34.100] to say download it. [30:34.100 –> 30:36.280] It’s just salt in the wound. [30:36.280 –> 30:38.860] That’s that was uncalled for. [30:38.860 –> 30:43.320] By the way, Nintendo, make your Switch 2 cases, make them smaller, please. [30:43.320 –> 30:44.320] They’re still too big. [30:44.320 –> 30:45.320] Right? [30:45.320 –> 30:46.320] Why did they get tall? [30:46.320 –> 30:47.320] Right? [30:47.320 –> 30:51.460] The case, the cartridge is smaller than the 3DS one, but the case got really tall. [30:51.460 –> 30:52.460] That is real. [30:52.460 –> 30:53.460] What’s that about? [30:53.460 –> 30:55.600] It got thinner, but taller. [30:55.600 –> 30:58.900] It’s like, they’re like, we need to use the same amount of plastic. [30:58.900 –> 31:00.700] It’s I don’t, I don’t get it. [31:00.700 –> 31:03.220] Like I, you know what? [31:03.500 –> 31:07.460] That is, I want to know the thought process to get there. [31:07.460 –> 31:12.860] I suspect it was to make it the same height as the Xbox and PS5 ones because it is now [31:12.860 –> 31:13.860] the same height as them. [31:13.860 –> 31:14.860] I think. [31:14.860 –> 31:15.860] Is it? [31:15.860 –> 31:16.860] I think so. [31:16.860 –> 31:17.860] I need to double check. [31:17.860 –> 31:18.860] Have I got one? [31:18.860 –> 31:19.860] I’ve got PS3. [31:19.860 –> 31:20.860] It’s PS4 and 5. [31:20.860 –> 31:23.420] Are they the same size as PS3 or are they taller? [31

Text us and say hello!We're wrapping up our deep dive on Nintendo with this week's episode of the Generation 'S' podcast as we take a look at the Nintendo Gamecube. It really was a unique console, from the fact that it was shaped like a cube, it was purple, plus it came with a handle on the back so you could bring it to a friend's house.  I would honestly say it's probably the weakest performing console that we've discussed this month, but don't get me wrong, it was a great little system!   In this episode, we'll also be discussing some of the best and worst games that have stood the test of time on the GameCube.  From classics like Super Smash Bros. Melee and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, to titles that might not have aged as gracefully.So whether you're a die-hard GameCube fan or just curious about this beloved console, grab your Wavebird Wireless Controller and join us for this nostalgic journey back to a simpler time in gaming history on Generation 'S'!Support the Show.We've got merch!Check out the site for some awesome Gen 'S' swag :)

Was haben der Landwirtschafts-Simulator und Mario Sunshine miteinander gemeinsam? Nun, in beiden Games kann man nebenher einen Hochdruckreiniger zücken, um verschmutzte Flächen bzw. landwirtschaftliches Gerät zu säubern. Was erstaunlich viel Spaß macht. Also mir zumindest. Aus dieser kleinen Nebenbeschäftigung hat Entwickler FutureLab nun ein eigenständiges Game gemacht, den „PowerWash Simulator“. Das hört sich auf den ersten Blick vielleicht etwas seltsam an und wird gedanklich schnell in die Kategorie „Schräge Simulationen“ einsortiert. Aber da gehört dieses Simulations-Kleinod definitiv nicht hin, wie ich euch gerne im nachfolgenden Bericht erläutern möchte. Folge direkt herunterladen

Morgan is a Twitch variety streamer and YouTuber who loves platformers, but has a special affinity for Mario games (as we all do).

If people don't pull for her due to lack of rubies do you think she could be a potential top 10 driver?StudfitWho pulled for Meowser? Who pulled the Gold Pipe? Who pulled both? Who pulled for Catalina?(TRZ) herooftheskies26If u were to compare the past New Years tours we have had (2021, and 2020) would u say this is the best New Years tour we have had so far?DRIVERSKnightRosoDo you think the aesthetics of an item have anything to do with the value it gets in the future?Furthermore, how can we predict which D/K/G will become valuable in the future? Is it starting availability? Aesthetics? Item/skill? Starting value? HIROMKD BenOne widespread phenomenon this second week of ranked this tour is the appearance of Hiro (ひろーー) in countless people's ranked cups (mostly those in or close to Tier 70). Do you think Nintendo did this purposefully to try to slow down progression/resource attainment or is this simply a matter of chance that this multiple-time top 10 player was selected to be in a common ranked pool?EDietelThoughts on the Hirocalypse?SINGAPOREPuff the Scottish DinoHow do you feel about Singapore being the new city tour for 2022? Also, do you feel these cities are being accurately represented in a way that satisfies those who live in them? As we saw with Berlin, parts were inaccurate in terms of culture (Lederhosen is Bavarian, not German or Walu Bus Driver having Tartan during London, when that is Scottish). If your city was represented in this game, what features would you want to see and why?StudfitWhat skill with Luigi (vacation) have? We have mushrooms on the shirt but he looks like Mario Sunshine. Additionally, we've had great unique (‘must pull') drivers released around the same time as coinbox drivers (when they know our rubies are depleted), thinking Gold Roberto with Ninja, Toilet Paper Mario with Painter Luigi, Kamek with Yoshi Kangaroo and now Meowser with Luigi?StudfitWhat are your thoughts on the Twitter video showing multiple cities? Some are talking about multiple cities included next tour, while others feel MKT is showing they will mix in cities more often this year, while others just say it's a promo video and means nothing.DAILY SELECTSMKD BenIt seems like Daily Selects has seriously been shut down this tour for many people, myself included. Do you think Nintendo might be messing with the HE ticket odds now that a new CB driver is out? Or is it simply that so many of us are simultaneously having bad luck? (1 in 10 days, normally 4-5 over that period)2022 TRACK RECOMMENDATIONSLarry98 / Larry (Party Time) Do you think we will ever get a new GCN track? The last time they added a gcn track was in the (!) New York Tour (!) -(GCN Yoshi Circuit and GCN Dino Dino Jungle). It also has been a while since the last N64 track. N64 Choco Mountain was added back in July 2020 in the Exploration Tour. What do you think about this? What retro tracks do you want to see? ENDING SEGMENT StudfitWhat recommendation/advice would you ha

The boys are back, we jump into The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal 5 Experience(3:12). Then we discuss Ubisoft NFTs and Stalker 2(14:00). From there we go into Splinter Cell Remake(23:000) and Alan Wake 2 hype(33:39). We finish up with Devon's first impressions of Gunk, almost as if Ratchet and Clank and Mario Sunshine had a baby(46:50).    Follow the boys on Twitter @DSGamingExp

Editor Alex joins John and Neal to go over their favorite titles of 2021. They take a quick break for listener mail in which Neal makes some digs at Mario Sunshine, John makes some digs at 3D World, and Alex takes a nap. Next they turn their eyes to the future and lay down their hopes for 2022. Will Breath of the Wild 2 actually release? Is Xenoblade 3 somehow more likely despite not yet having been announced? And just how many of these games do John and Neal have financial ties to? Connectivity has joined Twitter, so be sure to follow @ConnectivityNWR to be up to date on any announcements. We are wanting more listener participation, so feel free to ask questions, they may show up in the show! Please send in some hard-hitting questions for the Connectivity gang to ponder over: the address is connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com

Twas the night before Christmas, as we finish up edits, the YumChunks are casting, on the latest After the Credits! Dancing in their heads were visions of Mario Sunshine and the OLED Switch, Licorice Pizza, Pen15, and Saturday Morning All Star Hits! But then what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Spider-Man: No Way Home at their local theatre! So listen in on the cheery festival of lights as the guys sing its praises for almost two and half hours. They dabble in some criticisms and questions, but ultimately, it's the gift that keeps on giving. They got exactly what they wanted! So hear us exclaim, as the podcast fades out, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Studfit, JonBoy88, Angelita, Geeves2424, Frenzy Fans and Nathalie discuss topics from Mario Kart TourICEBREAKERWhich KARTS have you pulled the most from pipes (compared to putting tickets on)? TAYLOR SWIFTLarry98What is your favorite Taylor Swift Album and why is it RED? ThisBeChrisOn a scale of 9-10, how much do you love Taylor Swift? NathalieWhat is your favorite Taylor Swift song?  FUNKnightRosoIf you had to say one sentence to offend as many people in the MKT community as possible, what would it be? BE CREATIVE Larry98What are your ideas on how to improve Bonus Challenges? Tabor MVS (Most Valuable Super):  Right now, Green Shy Guy is my highest ranked Super driver (#65) and is only 8 spots behind Mario Sunshine (#57, only HE GB driver).  I am anticipating Yellow Toad PC to become the No 1 Super driver in the game and, after a few months of buffs and ranked use, the most valuable Giant Banana driver in the game.Question:  Do Super Drivers matter anymore, especially to money spenders?  A maxed Super is Level 7, 975 points (less than a single capped HE).  If a CoinBox super driver came out, would you pick that over a higher leveled HE with a worse skill?  Does whales use Normal or Supers anymore or are they merely collector items? StudfitSo we just had a 30 pipe (Blue Gliders), Studfit showed both #beatthepipe vs single pipe pulls. Was it helpful? What were some takeaways? I know Frenzy Fans has had recent luck with single pulls… is that special pipe strategy or 100 pipe strategy? Let's talk single vs ten pulls PREDICTIONS StudfitAs of right now (Thanksgiving), We just finished Autumn Celebration + Space Tour. Looking between now and Valentines Day, we have 6 tours and may or may not have a Holiday Tour, Winter Tour and New Years tour. Will we have those three tours and what will the other three tours be? City Tour? VS Tour? Nitro or Retro introduction? RMX? StudfitOf the three tours we may or may not have, I feel most confident about New Years, then Holiday Tour. Assuming we have a Holiday Tour, what specific new “Holiday” Character do you predict? Gingerbread alt? Elf alt? Another Santa… and what skill will they have? ACR StudfitRumor has it Tabor is pursuing a Top 100 ACR with a 1.25 Million goal, what tips would you give our buddy Tabor? StudfitSince the community continues to get cap tickets, we're getting to the point where triple capping is less aggressive and becoming more commonplace, how do you treat cap tickets? How does that differ between driver, karts and glider?

Mario, this podcast is out of control! I tried to help it but it's too big and mad. Welcome back to the podcast! It's been a long time since we've talked about a Mario platformer (depending on if you could Mario Maker, it's been two to three years), so with Nintendo celebrating the 35th anniversary last year and releasing the Switch port of 3D World, it seemed like a good time. So we waited a year and then did it. Our lack of timeliness aside, 3D Word was the Wii U's entry into the world of 3D Mario platformers, and like the console it was originally on it was, let's say, differently appreciated. 3D World follows the design sense of Super Mario 3D Land, a game that was on the 3DS and tried to merge the 3D and 2D Mario titles in the way it was presented and designed and this felt normal and pretty good on a handheld console. 3D World, however, puts the spotlight on some of the stranger aspects of this choice now that it sits in the same circle as games like Mario Galaxy or 64. It being different than Mario's other 3D outings is not inherently a bad thing, though, and the game is still as charming and polished as you've come to expect, but whether or not it's what you're looking for in a Mario game will be up to you to decide. As an added bonus, we'll be talking about Bowser's Fury, a game that is more in the design space of Mario Sunshine et al., which came packed in with the Switch port of 3D World. We're going to be talking about camera controls and perspective in a game that is trying to be a hybrid of 2D and 3D platformer design, presentation and absolutely nailing the musical interpretation of Mario, a game series that helped create the video game music paradigm, and we try for several minutes to remember the names of some Mario 64 levels. Thank you for joining us again this week! It really has been a startlingly long time since we've discussed a Mario game, and despite this being a newer title (in the form of the Switch port), it's still one of the more off-beat games and one we probably would have gotten around to had the port never released. How did 3D World strike you? Did you think Bowser's Fury was worth getting the game for, or maybe not think we should have devoted almost half the podcast to it? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord! We've been going back to some older games recently, and we've got one more to go before we hit Halloween hard. Next time we're going to be talking about Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, a heavily anticipated sequel and one that didn't do what a lot of people expected, so we hope you'll join us for that.

While the Gamecube was not the abject financial failure the Dreamcast was for Sega, it was a low point in the company's sterling history. Just what was it that didn't connect with people about the Gamecube and even Nintendo's flagship franchises of Mario and Zelda? This week on Gameography we look at Miyamoto's works on the Gamecube with Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure. The post S1E22: Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Mario Sunshine, and Windwaker first appeared on Gameography Podcast.

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome one of Matt's longtime friend and hilarious comedian Grant Pardee to the show to chat about adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario franchise could have like twenty episodes about it, so in this episode we are focusing on Grant's love of the 3D Mario games. For the uninitiated, there are several types of games featuring Nintendo's main man. Classic 2D, New 2D that is kinda 3D, humorous RPGs, and many more. We explore the evolution from Mario World for the SNES to the groundbreaking Super Mario 64. Plus, Grant has a hot take on Mario Sunshine. It's also a great episode if you're just looking for some straight up video game talk. A heartwarming reunion of friends and some super nerdy tangents!?

Sony's State of Play and Pokémon Presents have shown us how the future of our gaming time will look in the near future. We discuss and analyze the news we got and talk about what we hope to see from the games announced. Oh yeah, we also talk about FFVII and Bloodborne as usual. A hunter is a hunter, even in a dream.

It finally happened, Moi likes a traditional fighting game! The guys have a fun weekend playing the Guilty Gear Open Beta with friends and have many things to say! Also, Resident Evil 3 Remake is very good... and very short.

Guest Episode! Christina joins us as we explore the 2002 Nintendo video game, sharing our opinions and findings on what made this game so memorable.....and frustrating.

Im September 1985 erschien Super Mario Bros. auf dem Ur-Nintendo und das bedeutet, dass der hüpfende Klempner im vergangenen Jahr 2020 seinen 35. Geburtstag gefeiert hat. Zu diesem besonderen Anlass haute Nintendo auch gleich zahlreiche Mario-Specials raus. Unter anderem Mario Kart Live, ein Battle-Royal-Spiel Mario 35 sowie die 3D Allstars Collection mit Mario 64, Mario Sunshine und Mario Galaxy - allesamt für die Switch. Und da Flo, Micha und Janno über eben diese Konsole verfügen und bei den Titeln fleißig zugegriffen haben, lag es natürlich nahe, eine kleine Plauderstunde darüber abzuhalten. Viel Spaß!

The Goodnight lads are finally playing Cyberpunk 2077 and have A LOT to say about CD Projekt's newest video game. We have plenty to say so we break it down for your listening pleasure. (Don't worry this podcast will play on all streaming platforms, not just on a high spec PC.)

Carl joins us to remember the "good ole days" when we didn't have checkpoints and that's how we liked it! With also talk about the retro game market and how covid has had a huge impact on the landscape. Special Thanks to retro games for giving me such warm memories in these difficult times. Executive Producer Bryan “President of Calendars” Dressel Viceroy of Producing Jonathan Hardesty @movieguyjonKing Koopa of Editing Ryan JamesHost: Brok Holliday @damageboostpodTwitch at damageboostpodcastEmail us at damageboostpodcast@gmail.comGuest: Carl @Carls_YouTubehttps://www.twitch.tv/just_cral/videos

The holidays are here and with that also a lot of people buying video games for their loved ones. For that task, we are here to help out clueless holiday shoppers find the right game for the right person. They tell us a little bit about this person and we make the sell. Happy Holidays!

We finally did it. We finally recorded our episode about Mario Sunshine, after weeks and weeks of hinting at it. We have differing, but overall mixed opinions. At the end of the day, it's still a Mario game, and it's good. BUT... (Dean's note - I kept meaning to bring this up during the discussion, and I forgot, but I think it bears mentioning. This game has one of the most disappointing Bowser fights in the entire franchise. It feels like a FIRST Bowser fight, not the FINAL one.)

Después de Mario 64 pensamos que no volveríamos a tener una entrega de Super Mario de esa calidad. Estábamos tan equivocados ya que Nintendo nunca deja de asombrarnos. Y en aquella época del Game Cube nos entregó Mario Sunshine. Un deleite visual y artístico que todos disfrutamos y ahora lo recordamos. Únete a la Resistencia !

The NVC crew gathers to replay Mario Sunshine, talk Nintendo news, and answer your burning questions.
