The console wars heat up as we examine recent breakup between Kojima Productions and Sony leading to Death Stranding's expansion onto Xbox, will Nintendo's Switch sales eclipse the legendary PlayStation 2 and much more.
What if the gaming industry's future lies in breaking down exclusivity barriers? We dive into this provocative question as we explore the recent breakup between Kojima Productions and Sony, leading to Death Stranding's expansion onto Xbox. This shift signifies a broader trend of AAA games seeking profitability through multi-platform releases, echoing the iPhone's pivotal departure from AT&T exclusivity. We celebrate the financial success of Black Myth: Wukong, a testament to how modest budgets can still yield staggering sales, challenging the traditional gaming distribution narrative.
The console wars heat up as we examine Nintendo's rumored Switch 2 and its potential impact on the market. With features like backward compatibility and enhanced handheld play, this new console could be a game-changer for holiday shoppers. We also compare Nintendo's strategy to Xbox's robust backward compatibility, contemplating whether Nintendo's sales might eclipse the legendary PlayStation 2. Could a strategic price drop be Nintendo's secret weapon to claim the top spot?
Fighting game enthusiasts, rejoice! Our discussion buzzes with excitement over potential gaming revivals and EVO announcements, from the anticipated return of Virtua Fighter to fantasies of a Marvel-DC crossover. We critique the missed opportunities of Jump Force and dream of a Transformers fighting game that pushes boundaries.

We wrap up with a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones, celebrating his indelible mark on music and eagerly anticipating the launch of our YouTube channel. Join us on this whirlwind gaming journey, where possibilities are limitless and the future is bright.
Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic Show. I'm your host, mike Sansom Chillin' with my co-hosts. You'll be amazed how I'm doing today. Everybody get up for Mr Amazing. On today's Game of Traffic Show, we're going to talk about the latest Nintendo Switch 2. 2. Those rumors for the Nintendo Switch. 2. Two those Rumors For the Nintendo Switch. We're also going to talk about Venom. Although it has some pretty okay reviews, it's making bank for Sony, damn. And this move, not including Spider-Man. But today's show we're going to begin Yo to Kojima and Sony breakup. Mr Maze, you want to go into it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the latest is that PlayStation is actually losing an exclusive. We should hear this from Xbox, but we actually heard it the other way around, so the rumor is well not really a rumor, it's official. Now it's official son Death Stranding is heading to Xbox.
Speaker 1:It is Xbox. It is it Xbox, it is Xbox.
Speaker 2:It is. It is, you're right, there's no longer a past tense.
Speaker 1:It's present. Now it's present. Yo tell them what the deal is, though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the thing is my thing. Hold on A couple of things. Actually, there's a lot to break down with this All right, go ahead so first thing is that we know a part two is coming out. It's already been out, we already know it. We saw the teaser walking on the beach. So my thing is A my first part is is part two coming to Xbox also, mr Mazer, tell them we'll cut the deal Right now.
Speaker 1:You're going to Xbox For how much bro?
Speaker 2:It's not on Game Pass, is it?
Speaker 1:It's not on Game Pass. The Death Stranding Director's Cut is receiving a 50% discount on Xbox consoles. That's pretty steep. Normally it costs $40 at this time. Yeah, if you go on PlayStation you'll get $20. Why so cheap, yo? To get the sales. Get the sales, bro. Get the sales, make that money, but you know in this. It's an older game, Mr Mason.
Speaker 2:It and this it's an older game. Mr Mason, it's an older game. Yeah, I get it, and of course it's an older game. Yeah, but you can say the same thing about Horizon that went from the from PlayStation to PC. They didn't make those games cheap, though they weren't that cheap.
Speaker 1:they weren't that cheap, but, like I said, that's a different story, I guess, and PlayStation sold the IP back, sold the IP to Kajita Productions. Oh, that's true too.
Speaker 2:You're right about that.
Speaker 1:They didn't get it for free. They didn't say, hey, here you go. So they probably worked a deal out with Part 2. Yes, it probably Most likely it will go to Xbox, but most likely they had to create a deal, but not day one though. You're saying later on like kind of I like that. Okay, gotcha, my thing is what is this?
Speaker 2:what do you think? Is this new wave we have, now that you have AAA games coming to other consoles, with something we never heard of 10 years ago AAA games coming to other consoles.
Speaker 1:Let's keep it real. You're talking about exclusives that were a synonymous for one platform. I mean, yeah, it's starting to break the computer it platform. I mean, yeah, it's starting to break, it's coming down with what, mr Mason, would it always come down? And we say it's sports and we say it's not about the money, it's always about the money and I'm happy that's what you said, because that's the only way to get to.
Speaker 2:So we're seeing more triple O games coming to other from one exclusive console to another like Final Fantasy yeah, and the reason I think this is happening is because, remember, games are more expensive to make, so if you're having a one system, you're not banking. You've got to put it on a different cloud or platform. It's just like when we always say this I always use this analogy when Apple was exclusive to AT&T and Apple was like hell with this, we need to make bank, and they opened their doors.
Speaker 1:Let's play to the kiddies Apple. You can say Apple, what do you mean? The iPhone.
Speaker 2:So the iPhone specifically, was exclusive to AT&T for a few years, I thought it was Verizon. No, it was AT&T, at&t. At&t had the exclusivity to that For a few, for a couple of years, and then, after a while, they said uh-uh, it, they're able to open up their doors to hundreds of thousands of different more consumers. So I think this is the same thing we're seeing now with games, where AAA games are what Upwards. How much money did they make now, micah, for AAA games? Nine million AAA games are to make.
Speaker 1:No, not. I wish there was nine million.
Speaker 2:There's more than that.
Speaker 1:I think Spider-Man costs 300 million Woo Plus. You got to count the license fee they that they pay.
Speaker 2:So look at that, I was being generous when I said nine million. So look at what he just said. So you got to put these games on different platforms.
Speaker 1:Or if you go with.
Speaker 2:Black Myth.
Speaker 1:Wukong, that game was only made for 60 million and that game is made bank. Yeah, that's a pass. That's made bank and it's in a multi-platform system.
Speaker 2:It still has to jump for Xbox.
Speaker 1:It's still going to make the Xbox money, but it's made bank. I think it made also over 20 million copies. Oh you get those.
Speaker 2:It's like the movies we get. We get those movies all the time, where a movie comes out only because it's a certain amount of money and then it surpassed that week three in theaters. They're just past the gross.
Speaker 1:The horror movie, terrified Part 3, I think it cost $8 million to make. Yeah, $7 million, whatever $5 million. They made the money back, of course.
Speaker 2:They had a long time.
Speaker 1:I think it's made $40 million.
Speaker 2:Even the first Scream, I think, did that too, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1:Also still streaming making money.
Speaker 2:No, absolutely Absolutely. So like I think we're going to see more of this, this is a new wave to come and I'm okay with it, I'm happy with it. I mean, it might hurt, it might suck for people who are upset. You know are like big on the whole console exclusives. Oh, I got this because I wanted, you know, I wanted to get over that, but this is the new wave, man.
Speaker 1:I mean, you can look at this bright part for Sony enthusiasts or supporters or fanboys, whatever you might call them that look, you get it first.
Speaker 2:You get it first. Yeah, you're right, because a lot of times these things don't come out until at least what two years, or maybe more than that Six years.
Speaker 1:I mean not six years, sorry.
Speaker 2:Six months a year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, most of the two years because Death Stranding came out. What a year and a half ago, came out four years ago. Damn, it was that long ago, I think three or four years look how long before it came to another console that's fine. Kojima probably worked his deal out because with this IP, they plan to do anime series, do a movie regarding this and probably TV dramas because you know Kojima wants to go further on other than video games Of course Go step into the Hollywood scene.
Speaker 2:Of course.
Speaker 1:Make movies and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:I can see that for him.
Speaker 1:So we'll see what goes on with this.
Speaker 2:He says he's bigger than life. He's bigger than the platform. Don't label him. That's what he said.
Speaker 1:Mr Amazing, that's a good. I mean look.
Speaker 2:Kajima Kojima is a lot of people video game god, so I mean we all know him from what game though? Yeah, metal Gear, metal Gear. You think Kojima? That's the first game because of my head. To be honest with you.
Speaker 1:The only thing I won't say he's overrated, but that's the only series I know him for and I think he what's that. That's the only guy I really know him for.
Speaker 2:I know he probably did other games, yeah but those are the ones we know him for, though. Yeah, that's his money maker.
Speaker 1:That's cute.
Speaker 2:The main ones we know him for is Metal Gear, and I think that's why he broke ties with Sony. I think that's why I think that's one of the reasons I think he I said I'm not joking, but I said that he wants to be bigger than life. He wants to be his own individual.
Speaker 1:He doesn't want to just be known for that and also you probably told so look, man, let me get my own product back, sell it back to me. Yeah, I will make other games for you as well absolutely you know what I'm saying. I'm not mad at that, yeah you know. So you gotta work a deal out. But, mr Mason, anything else you want to say about this topic?
Speaker 2:No no, but don't buy it. I didn't know about the whole price thing. That I didn't know. I learned something today.
Speaker 1:Yes, you always learn from Mr Mason. Yeah, it happens sometimes. It happens sometimes it happens sometimes and I'm still waiting for my wings. I spent my wings next week. I want Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 2:I went down for who is the?
Speaker 1:Buffalo Wilds. Alright, mr Mason, let's go to the Tindall Switch rumors. Brother, it is on and popping Tindall rumors is tight and steady. People are begging for it. It's getting warm, mr Mason, cause what. Mr Mason, how much Tindall Switch has sold?
Speaker 2:I believe 144 million creep it on that PS2. Creep it on that PS2 ain't happening. And what do we got coming along, baby? We got the holiday season coming in for more sales.
Speaker 1:But as we said in the previous podcast, the sales have been dipping. It has been dipping.
Speaker 2:It has been dipping, but they're not gone. So we're still there, which is true, and remember, when the new consoles come out, what did they tell us? That's so smart. You know what? Actually, I'm going to hold off this comment, but tell us.
Speaker 1:Chris, in the past three months it's only sold four of this is pretty good. Viva the Xbox Four million consoles that's great.
Speaker 2:In the past three months, that's great for a system that's seven years old. That's great. If we took that perspective. Yes, it's great. It's great you can still sell that. Let's get to it. Because I want to mention something else too. Can you go to the rumor? Okay, so the rumor is we got some Switch 2. What is code name for? They have different names for it, actually, and what we learned is that, well, sorry, we don't got a release date, we don't got a price point, but we did get some facts, and the fact that we got is that the new Switch 2 is going to be backwards compatible with the original Switch console, which also, it's supposed to launch in early part of 2025.
Speaker 1:And that means it's cartridge based.
Speaker 2:It is cartridge based. That's exactly. That was a good point, actually very good point. So it's cartridge based, so which is I like cartridge? I have a little nostalgia. Good point so it's cartridge-based, so which is I like cartridge? I have a little nostalgia to that, so I'm cool with that. So that's good news. Actually, back with compatibility. Like it makes people like oh man, let's keep buying games. That's why this is what I want to get into. This is why I think Nintendo is so smart. Right now, nintendo could easily say Switch is coming out March of 2025. But they said, nah, you know why we're not going to do that? Because we still want to sell this current gen for the holiday. We just got a new Mario Brothers that just dropped. We're going to make our bank off of it.
Speaker 1:But the new Mario, it got some, not. It didn't get normal Mario reviews, it didn't get it. But the movie Mario, it got some, not it got. Yeah, it didn't get normal Mario reviews, it didn't get it. And Mr Amazing lost a bet because he bet on that Prince of Peace game Like it didn't move the needle, but it still sold.
Speaker 2:It still sold.
Speaker 1:It's funny to have it with booms and stuff like that you always think about, about the women's movie. Nobody came after that. Nobody came after that. Nobody came after the godfather of gaming All right so but also Nash Wheeler. He claimed that there'd be a performance mode exclusively on the handheld play option for this new Nintendo Switch that comes out.
Speaker 2:Oh, what mode. I didn't hear you.
Speaker 1:Performance mode. So what do you mean? Like a higher quality. You know how you control the performance, whether it's frame rate, oh, okay, Something like that. So we'll see.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's good. I think Nintendo's playing this very well. They're still showing off to their current gen. They're giving you little teasing snippets of what's going to come out. People know hey, don't worry, when a new system comes out, keep them games, because you can also play on them. But you know what, though? It gets tricky when it says back and compatible, because sometimes they hit you with the whole. In our store you can get copies of the old thing. So we got to watch out what she can tell when it comes to that.
Speaker 1:Actually, I think it's going to be cartridge based it should be. That's what Nintendo's known for. I still just do a cartridge base. The only one Nintendo is that. Oh, they can pull an Xbox when all the games are backwards compatible.
Speaker 2:They could do that too.
Speaker 1:That's what I love with these Xbox fans, supporters or fanatics oh, Xbox is the best compatibility. Yes, for the first party games, which are the games from a previous generation, can play the Xbox, but let's not make a mistake in it, like these are the godfathers of backwards compatibility. No, it's not playing all these exclusive games. Yes, they did a decent job of doing it, but let's not overpraise Xbox for their backwards compatibility. Great, but like I said before, they had to do that because they're losing the battle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly. So on that, if we go to the next topic, michael I think you might have mentioned it not too long ago as five days ago Nintendo currently has 144 million units sold. Mike, are you convinced, from our topic for the last year and a half, that it is going to surpass the PS2 sales?
Speaker 1:Like Jim Ryan said, yo, he has documentation. That's more than that. I know it's approaching 160 million, yeah, so until then, you know what I'm saying. I got to text with you right now. Sit around and text me. Yo, mike, I got your back listen if this is too so.
Speaker 2:158 million, it's 14 million, behind it, it's 155, 158 158 million ooh that's a lot 158 million not really, it's 14 million, it's 14 million and you have a holiday season coming in.
Speaker 1:I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to stick with it and say what, what I said before, it's going to come close, but it's not going to get it.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to get it actually. Okay, before we go to the next topic. So it's 14 million away. You have a holiday season and over the holiday season I'm going to predict that Tenno's down to $10 million. Right, so you got between $10 million because the shelf life on this is going to be about a year after the new system comes out. For a year they're still going to be making gains for this. So you got to sell another $10 million. And remember, the system will get discounted even deeper.
Speaker 1:It's not going to be on discounted period.
Speaker 2:No, it's going to be discounted when a new system comes out.
Speaker 1:You think so, of course.
Speaker 2:It's going to get discounted? How much?
Speaker 1:do you think this is going to cost?
Speaker 2:Honestly, I think Nintendo's going to drop it down almost $100. That's what I think Almost $100. I'm not saying it is. I think it's going to drop $100 and that's going to move Unity even more, maybe $. They're chasing that system, michael. They're not going to admit it, but you know they're chasing it, michael. You know they're chasing that prize. That would be big for Nintendo to have the number one selling console of all time. You know they're chasing it.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I don't know how much the I can't count the Wii U, the Wii U when Nintendo was a failure, so I can't count. When the Wii U came out, it was dead. It was dead. When Switch came out, wii U was dead on arrival. It was not dead on arrival, it was dead. It was dead buried 20 feet under. So I can't, you know. Even with some of the consoles Playstation, sometimes they lower the price of the Playstation 3 or Playstation 4 that much lower.
Speaker 1:I mean they had price cuts, but I don't know. Let's see.
Speaker 2:We'll come back at it after the holiday season. Let's see.
Speaker 1:I said $4 million, the times are different, because they did that price cut for PS3. They did that price cut for PS4. Okay, the only thing is time to change.
Speaker 2:I agree with you on that. We'll see. Let's see for the holiday season.
Speaker 1:We'll see if the terrorists, those terrorists that are happening with Trump. We'll see how much they cost.
Speaker 2:We'll see. Like I said, I think four million for the holiday season. I think that's a fair number. I just threw out there and then we'll see. We'll come back, we'll talk about this after the holiday season again.
Speaker 1:We'll see. We'll see. All right, mr Mazin, you know what I'm saying. We're fighting girls, we play fighting games, but we're going to talk about a fighting game that's making a comeback, hopefully next year, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:Virtual.
Speaker 1:Fighter Making a comeback. It's been around for years.
Speaker 1:Yo, it's the first one since the Ultimate Showdown, right, yes, they thought they forgot it was mentioned in an interview with VGC it? Yes, they thought they forgot. It was mentioned in an interview with uh. What is it with vgc? Yeah, it was mentioned interview. He was talking about uh. What's his name? Excuse me to get his name. Guy's name, justin scarapont. Scare one stated in the interview several games that are making a comeback, which include jet, red, radio, streets of Rage, shinobi, crazy Taxi, and he also mentioned that a virtual fighting game is in development. Damn it, evo. Yo, evo's gonna be. It's gonna be very lit next year. They'll probably announce EVO next year. It'll probably come out in 2026. Oh, you think it's coming out next year?
Speaker 2:no, it's not coming out next year.
Speaker 1:No it's not coming out next year. Okay, not next year, no.
Speaker 2:So it's the first one since 2021, I think the last one came out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I remember they came out with the digital version.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember that I have that you know how Mike always says the god one of Godfather. 3d gaming, I remember the first one I ever had was the one on Sega Saturn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Sega Saturn. I think I had it on Sega Saturn. I think I had it on Sega Saturn I had it on the Sega Saturn.
Speaker 2:It was the first one I had.
Speaker 1:I loved the game.
Speaker 2:I enjoyed it and I that 3D fighting we've seen Dead or Alive. And then I think Tekken Tekken was always somewhat 3D, but then it modeled. It surpassed that obviously, but then it all falls in that same family.
Speaker 1:Tekken was always 3D, it's always 3D, yes, I'll say, but like Virtua Fighter was way better at it at that time.
Speaker 2:I feel personally With the, you know the 3D-ness, but I look forward to seeing it. We got an SNK game, we got Virtua Fighter, we got the Street Fighter, the Mortal Kombat that all came out. So next year's EVO is going to be really amazing, man, if it is playable by then.
Speaker 1:Also, you got the Capcom fighting collection, part 2 coming out. Bring back games that were left to Not left to die, but only on Sega Dreamcast. Yeah, yeah, and charging vocal dials to get the physical copy of that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you're a fan of fighting games, this is a good time to be alive y'all.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, most definitely, most definitely, most definitely. Well, Mr Mazin, I know we asked the question before, but we're going to reiterate it.
Speaker 2:What fighting game that could make a comeback. What did I say last time, jews? I can't remember what I said last time. You go first, I have to think Go ahead.
Speaker 1:Bloody Roar. Bloody Roar is pretty good, I think that's one. Skull Girls. I remember Skull Girls.
Speaker 2:I remember that too, I thought they could have done. A Killer Instinct. A Killer Instinct, but better. Like you know, more to today's Rival Schools. Rival Schools was dope too. I can't forget about that.
Speaker 1:Dark Stalkers.
Speaker 2:Dark Stalkers was good as well. Are we doing boxings too? I mean technically, I mean it's not. I mean it's a fight, but not.
Speaker 1:You want to throw in the ring.
Speaker 2:Go ahead. Ready to rumble? I always like ready. I think you're going to say Fight Night. We spoke about that in the last episode. We spoke about our anticipation for that. Remember, the rumor is they're working on one. We'll see, we'll see they're working on one. That's why I didn't say Fight Night.
Speaker 1:Raiden Rumble. Nah, why not I?
Speaker 2:think it's got to do with push the guy off the ring, uppercut him off the ring. He comes back. Yeah, they know that. I am thinking about Reign King. Actually, I'm in a mistake. That is Reign King, you're right.
Speaker 1:There's one part of Reign King that you know.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about which?
Speaker 1:part. I'll show you one day the part. I don't know what's going on. I'll have to see, I'll show you. Okay, hopefully we'll get enough time that Reign King with and start this YouTube channel. We'll see, we'll display it. Okay, that got me curious. Okay, mr Amazing? What else you want to say about this, mr Amazing?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but now you got me stuck. I want to come up with a good fighting game. I just can't remember off my head right now.
Speaker 1:Okay, good fighting. What else Know? A fighting game I wish would to get. A wish will happen, which one I always want to transform the fighting game. That'll be interesting, like transformers, voltron or something I don't know, even with the transfer characters. You're probably some way you could do that, but I'll be kind of cool. I think they have one, but it was on pc but um, I think it's possible we could do that.
Speaker 2:That would be dope, that would be nice. I think a game like Jump what's that? Jump, jump, jump, jump Shun, the one that you bought. I was very disappointed with it. With the anime, the mix up with all the anime, there was two of them Jump Shun, the All-Star J, yeah and the other yeah.
Speaker 1:Like I didn't like it, it's okay. I didn't get that bad, I did not like it, I thought it was okay. Nothing to brag about. It's something you play around, mess around with um, but is it one of the top no 20 fighting games? They could have done better. I put 20, I put top 20, nothing top 20. They could have done way better, not top 20. So I don't like I said Transformers or a crossover I'd like to happen. It would be Marvel vs DC. Okay, that'd be cool, that was so, that's just so. 10 million copies no, I agree with you.
Speaker 1:That's a 10 million copies.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm gonna. I'm gonna go off topic. I don't wanna do that, but I'm gonna go off topic anyway. If you're all going off topic, go ahead. What game I would like to see is, like you know, you see how they always make Batman games I want to see a game based on Joker. Not Joker, but on Penguin. I know you're going to say Penguin, no, but yo, oh God, I know I'm in the moment because of the show.
Speaker 1:You want to see a game or you want Batman versus at all.
Speaker 2:Not to do it that way, but based on Penguin like the whole, the way he was. I know I'm in the moment because of the show but I would like to see it.
Speaker 1:Word for us is that there's still going to be more deep in the hole.
Speaker 2:No, but the reason I like it because I think even with the Gotham, that was on regular TV or whatever. Which station was that on of the Penguin on HBO? You're talking about the Gob Show on Fox. Yeah, the way they displayed Penguin's whole lifestyle and the way he was going to be through the Fox, and all that until now the Penguin on HBO. I think they did a good job with it. Man, I think Penguin could carry a game. I really think he can, but that's just me. I would play it. By the way, I I don't want to go off topic too much, but go ahead, Mike.
Speaker 1:You know I was games too. I'd be like, yeah, reject, I think you can make it work. No, I was throwing you out the office. I'm the freakiest idiot talking about. You think you'll be worse than Concord, and you know what's funny about Concord.
Speaker 2:Herbert Hurst was a big component for that I know, a old cheerleader for that I know.
Speaker 1:And we blame fully blame Jim Ryan. Damn right I did. He still has responsibility.
Speaker 2:That probably cost so many millions of dollars yeah, a lot of for the live service 10 years to get to get trash in two weeks and reform. People back their money.
Speaker 1:That's embarrassing for Mr Mason. Let's go off to Movie Land. Venom 3 was popped out a couple of weeks ago, mr Mason, making bank, mr Mason. The film has earned over $394 million, plus Probably hit the $500 million mark. Wait, that's international, because I know the message is $500 million. It's over, overall, overall.
Speaker 2:Overall. So you're talking about international Okay.
Speaker 1:So hopefully we'll say it'll probably hit half a billion. Oh yeah, absolutely. You saw it already. No, I didn't see it. I'm surprised I didn't see it yet. You know what I'm saying. So that's good for them, for a Spider-Man movie without?
Speaker 2:yeah, pretty much. I mean it's a good achievement and you know, with the Venom success, you can expect a Venom game and a Venom sequel.
Speaker 1:Well, they put that they put you working on a Venom game yeah, remember what happened with the leak?
Speaker 2:that was supposed to be one of the games. Yeah, it was one of the games but it didn't happen. It got scrapped. I think because it got scrapped because of the leak but, who knows, we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 1:But Mr Amazing, I think, because he got scrapped because of the leak. But who knows, we'll talk about that later. But Mr Amazing, yes, sir, any movies you're looking forward to for the holiday season.
Speaker 2:I guess why not that Christmas movie with the Rock? That looks interesting.
Speaker 1:Isn't it must-see? I want to see Gladiator 2.
Speaker 2:Oh man, you're right, that's what I should have started off with yeah. Galactica is definitely a must-go for me.
Speaker 1:I love the first one.
Speaker 2:It's a half a sequel. That's interesting. Anybody have?
Speaker 1:kids Mulan 2?
Speaker 2:Mulan 2 would be nice.
Speaker 1:Yes, for the kiddos. What else is coming? Sonic, sonic. It comes out December. Oh snap I.
Speaker 2:I don't want to do that because of next year. Oh, that's definitely a good Christmas movie to watch. I'll watch that.
Speaker 1:But anything else that we see.

Speaker 2:I think he was. I just saw him. There's probably way more than that. There's somebody just listed. Damn, that guy is paid. Whoever his agent is gets this man paid. The guy was the face of the Olympics. You never thought a rapper from the West Coast gangster era would have ever been this successful having a TV cookout with Martha Stewart. Ladies and gentlemen, this man's a living icon.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and like I said, I think, if we like just be popular, not the money wise, and we know Jay-Z's a big rap figure and money wise, but if you walk in the mall, who will people grab you? Snoop Dogg, that's Snoop Dogg, snoop Dogg.
Speaker 2:Because you know him everywhere. People don't even know his music, but it's so funny People probably think he's a gamer or a cooker before they think he's a rapper.
Speaker 1:Now, yeah, because that's an actor, actor, rapper, yeah because that's his little part of life Spokesman.
Speaker 2:Spokes. The guy was in the favorite Olympics. You would never think of that of him.
Speaker 1:I'm very happy to see that for him though maybe Flay or Flay, flay or Flay for another one. Yeah, you didn't think that about him as well give the guys credit. You know the longevity of each one in their career absolutely, man.
Speaker 2:Keep it going, man, you can rejuvenate yourself that's right, mr Amazing, we go to.
Speaker 1:Oh well, hold up, I forgot to say. Should we care, mr Major?
Speaker 2:Ooh, we talking about what we're caring about.
Speaker 1:I'm talking about this our should we care? Topic because Snoop Dogg's in it. Should we care?
Speaker 2:I feel like I was going to say no, but then you know what, as I start talking, because everybody's in for that- yeah, I feel like I was going to say no, but you know what care? I care Snoop man.
Speaker 1:I think we should care. I think we should care.
Speaker 2:That's a big deal. It's a big deal. It's a big deal because it's an African-American man doing it, and not to say no other race can do it. But you don't see us doing this kind of stuff all the time on so many levels. So hell yeah, I do care.
Speaker 1:Alright, mr Amazing, let's do this, let's do this. Nintendo, the Godfather came in.
Speaker 2:Uh-oh, what did they do. Or what did they do Like?
Speaker 1:Karis once said. A fan rapper said how many people must get sued every time you bleep with Nintendo?
Speaker 2:You don't bleep with Nintendo. Nintendo, don't play about this yo. I don't know what people are going to learn.
Speaker 1:They don't play with the IP. This young man, I believe, in Denver. He thought he was the Mac, he thought he was gangster, mr Amazing, he stole something you know. Nintendo will show you who's the real gangster. Nintendo is the godfather of gaming. Yes, according to a lawsuit filed November 6th, nintendo believes Jesse Kingston streamed Pirated Veil games on YouTube Discord, switch, tiktok, damn it and also emailed or mailed them saying I could do this all day long. Oh, wow, damn it, throwing his life away because Nintendo will get you with their lawyers and hold you in court and have you be paid your whole life salary away. But he didn't want to play. Mr Amazing the 10-0 went after him, went and had all his stuff taken down, damn, and the lawsuit could lose him up to 7 million dollars. I thought he had that kind of money $7 million. I said $7 million. Yeah, I thought that guy had that kind of money $7 million, plus all the penalties that Nintendo's going to put down on him.
Speaker 2:Does Nintendo at least send you a stop and desist letter, or they just come after you? Yeah, they send receipts. They told him to stop it. He ignored it. He ignored it. That's why I don't feel bad for this dude.
Speaker 1:He boasted in late October that he has thousands of burner channels to stream and threaten to continue to use them, saying he could do this all night long. I'm judging all night, all day long.
Speaker 2:This should be a wankster.
Speaker 1:Like I said, the 10-0 is a gangster they gave you a warning. This is the first time we have a gangster and a gangster in the same situation, Mr Maze.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not too many times we get this and, to be honest with you, this guy's an idiot. If you get that letter in the mail, you won. You saw the examples they've done.
Speaker 1:You saw the examples. They don't play.
Speaker 2:They don't.
Speaker 1:That. That's why you call him the Godfather. We don't mess with the. Godfather, we don't. The teller gave you the two kisses of the cheeks. They gave you a warning. I gave you a warning again. They gave you the two kisses of the cheeks, were coming for you.
Speaker 2:You're going to do some of the fishes now.
Speaker 1:You're going to do some of the fishes. You're broke. It's like the Godfather 2 when Michael's. I know you didn't. I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart.
Speaker 2:You know it's over, that happens.
