Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic Show. I'm your host, mike Sampson. Show them my co-host. Simply amazing what I'm doing today. Everybody give it up for Mr Amazing. On today's Game of Traffic Show, we're going to talk about Mr Amazing, the godfather of gaming. Nintendo has recently announced Nintendo Switch is real son.
Speaker 2It's here. It's here. We got a sneak peek and we know we're going to get more coming on April 2nd. But Nintendo Switch has finally finally showed their hands Like a poker hand that you've been waiting forever to see.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, mr Amazing, let's see the hand has actually gotten bigger. A bigger screen else has a bigger kickstand. It does yo bigger everything so far, but that's bigger mean better we don't know that.
Speaker 2That's the key thing. But the most important thing is that we no longer have a sliding mechanic to hook up the joysticks to the console. It looks like it's gonna be magnetic so I think that's one of the bigger features on that.
Speaker 1But people scared my break for some.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know I do magnetic. You never know. It could be more flimsy, it could be so many things, but we won't know until we touch it. But Intel is pretty good at doing hardware, so I think we'll be all right with that route.
Speaker 1Yeah, same thing Xbox thought with the 360, right.
Speaker 2That's true too I mean, I'm anticipating a pretty good thing, but I have a lot of questions, because we don't know if it's HD, we don't know if it's OLED. That's the thing we don't know, but the price point that they're flirting around makes me believe it is an OLED system.
Speaker 1to be honest with you, no, the last one was OLED, so it's going to be OLED.
Speaker 2We don't know that, though, because remember.
Speaker 1It's going to be OLED.
Speaker 2The price point that they're flirting with. Do you want to get the price down or do you want to wait for the no wait?
Speaker 1for the price. The only thing, the key thing is the Nintendo Switch, the original Switch is the games up the Nintendo Switch 2, which is a key factor.
Speaker 2People's worried about that. It has to be, come on, the kind of library that Nintendo has to have the back of compatible and the Joy-Cons are practically the same.
Speaker 2They pretty much are. That's why I feel like it is going to be OLED, because that price point is very high. And I'm saying price point because it's not confirmed, but it's a very steady talk within the community and the people, industry, guys and girls that are saying that. I'm going to say it out there. They have it as a price point as $449. That's pretty steep for Nintendo. I must say I didn't think it would be that high. We're making our predictions.
Speaker 1Yeah, we'll dive more into it. But also the thing I saw in the video is the Joy-Cons with the mouse light. They run around the mouse light. They like run around the mouse light, feature like a computer mouse and there's like a little connection that you make it like a mouse, a feature nobody's going to use.
Speaker 2That's interesting A feature. Like I said, nobody's going to use.
Speaker 1Come on man.
Speaker 2I saw what you're talking about, but I thought that was just more animation to reveal the system. I didn't think it was to be used as a mouse, like on a computer. It's something it might be because Nintendo does get creative, so it might be a feature that is used. But you know, we'll find out.
Speaker 1We'll find out. Remember the Nintendo box thing, the Nintendo Switch box thing? It wasn't for us but, didn't it do?
Speaker 2well, it was the amazing one to get that. Yes, you did, you and your kids? Yes, you did. It was the amazing one. But what I wanted to get was the Mario Kart with the racing, the real racing one.
Speaker 1I thought about that. That's the one I wanted to get, not the box.
Speaker 2I had no interest in the box one.
Speaker 1You're like Mr Maze is lying, I had no interest in the box.
Speaker 2The Mario Kart one I did have. That was just like, yeah, they fine Slime.
Speaker 1He wouldn't get it for his kids Because I know they wouldn't even enjoy that. I know my son.
Speaker 2I know my nephews they wouldn't enjoy that. You mentioned your daughter, so yeah, At that time when that came out that she said he wouldn't get it for her. No, no, no. At the time when it came out, she was too young.
Speaker 1She was too smart to go play that nonsense. Cashing out Nintendo. Gotta give credit for creativity. It is creativity, no disrespect. No disrespect, it was the Godfather game. That was kind of like eh, but like I said, creativity, gotta give credit for that.
Speaker 2Trying to make artistic ways.
Speaker 1Yes, mr Mazin, but, Mr Mazin, let's go ways. Yes, mr Mazes, but, mr Mazes, as you said, price point, because the original tennis switch launched in 2017 at a price point of $300.
Speaker 2Yeah, and this is about $150 more.
Speaker 1Yes, and according to Combootcom, it's saying that it's a possibility that the tennis switch will come in two buttons. It will come in as a console by itself. If you go by Japanese dollars, the yen, $499. $500 total. Yeah.
Speaker 2Damn. I think I said two price points. I said one is $300. One is like $400. The other one is $450. But I was thinking you're going to the $500.
Speaker 1But the $499 will include Mario Kart.
Speaker 2Oh well, you might as well get that, because you gotta get a game makes no sense. That's the one I would get too, to be honest with you, and we did see what everyone was speculating to be Mario Kart 9, so that's another good news for us to know. That's positive. Mario 9 will probably be a launch game with the console, but that's for the price man. I think it's high. That's positive. Mario 9 will probably be a launch game with the console, but that's for the price man, I think it's high. And the only way you're going to sold me on that price point, it has to be OLED. It can't be nothing beyond the OLED. If you're going to go to that price point and not only does it have to be OLED the graphic has to be way more than we're accustomed to. When Nintendo drops a new system, it definitely has to be on that level as well.
Speaker 1Yeah, the only thing. I'm going to the article combocom. The Nintendo Switch 2 is going to be available in two options. One of these options will be just the console, while the other option, bundle, will feature the new Mario Kart. So according to Convocom, it's either 499 yen or 499 yen. So basically, if you translate, to American dollars.
Speaker 1But I'm just clarifying for everybody. So what does it mean in American dollars? If you convert it to America, $4.99 will mean $517.06. So meanwhile, converting $4.99 will be $465. Yeah, but my thing is and typically classes don't go for that type of price. It's either $350 or $500 sometimes. You see, sometimes when you do price cuts, you do see for Chris's $480, if it was originally $500, they'll do it for $480, or if it was originally $400, they'll do it for $370. You know what I'm saying. So those price cuts, those prices do happen. But like I said, like I told you before, I always thought it would be $500.
Speaker 2You did say that I definitely didn't go that route. I never would have went that route, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1If people were paying how much for the Steam Deck $500?
Speaker 2Yes, but remember though, no, it doesn't have that many owners.
Speaker 1Nintendo Switch. It's not even the same ballpark. It's not even the same ballpark. I want to say If I said Nintendo crushed it, it'd be flattering yeah.
Speaker 2No, no, you're right. But by crushing we're saying the number sells, not because Nintendo is such a better system than it, it's because Nintendo is better priced than it. So I do want to get that point.
Speaker 1No, no, no, no, no, no. It's Nintendo. No, it's Nintendo, it's Nintendo. Nintendo is a bigger brand, bigger name. No, of course, mario is a bigger brand, it's a longer too.
Speaker 2Don't forget that, Nintendo, let's just forget. Let's take out the break. Nintendo is bigger than that, obviously, but the price does make a big difference.
Speaker 1But if they came at the same time, it seems like we're still more expensive than the Switch.
Speaker 2Exactly that's what I'm saying Because of the price. That's why I feel like Nintendo got to watch out with their, but I do think it's going to be up to that price point. I just wonder are we getting just a regular joystick? Does it, can we? You think they'll throw in a? I call it again.
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 2The regular controller, the, you know, like the regular new patch.
Speaker 1Throw it in. For what do you mean throw it in?
Speaker 2With that price that they're giving us, would they throw one in there? Throw one in there.
Speaker 1I have an orange right here. I'm going to throw it at your head. No, no Later on they're going to probably induce other alternatives in the Joy-Con. Like I said, joy-cons are hurting my hands. I play Switch, mario Kart hurt my hands.
Speaker 2I wanted the buds a little bit bigger on there too, to make it easier for people with fat fingers.
Speaker 1I think the Joy pops out a little bit more From what I saw. Yeah, so it's still too small for me.
Speaker 2Yeah, well, it is.
Speaker 1I'll still have to buy a third-party or Nintendo first-party controller.
Speaker 2That's not a joy card I always do for all my Nintendo systems but we didn't even say there is an extra button. That did add to it too, though. I don't know exactly what that button is for that's why I guess the April 2nd reveal will tell us what that button is for. They did add an extra button to it, so that's pretty interesting, yeah, so, but even interesting more.
Speaker 1As reported by Nintendo Life, journalist Felipe Limo has spotted a list for a Take-Two Interactive Nintendo Switch 2 game that has a dimension listed and, mr Amazing, you go by the picture the box is bigger than the original Switch box for the games.
Speaker 2Oh, I wonder. Why, though, are the games bigger?
Speaker 1I was going to say like why? So we're taking more space on your shelf, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2Eh, you know, I'm a hard copy person.
Speaker 1So if we go into details of the box, it's believed the boxes are 5.1 inches, which is the original Switch box, and the new Switch 2 boxes for the games will be 7.7 inches, mr Amazing, okay, does it really make a difference? Not really. I mean, is it game instructions? Are they actually going to put game instructions inside there?
Speaker 2This time. We haven't seen that in a long time.
Speaker 1So you know what I'm saying. I don't know if they're going to put maps in there. I don't know what they're going to put in there Personal prizes, tickets but, mr Basie, if everybody's interested, in's already passed. You can register for Nintendo Switch experience and get your first hands on Nintendo Switch, but it's already passed. That happened on January 17th. You was able to go to a raffle, but you need to have a Nintendo account to get that opportunity to get involved in that and currently this event. I'm talking about the American dates. New York City this event be held from April 4th to the 6th. La 11th April 11th to the 13th. Dallas, april 25th to the 27th. Toronto, canada April 25th to the 27th. Please don't Trump the way. The tariffs on them come on man, and they'll also be doing other regions of the world as well.
Speaker 2Well, that's good, that's good news. You know it's good to know. But can we jump into something else that I want to talk about? Nintendo.
Speaker 1But I also want to tell you people are trying to get there and sell those tickets.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, why? Because you want to make money, mr.
Speaker 1Amazing.
Speaker 3That's a dope experience, I think you should go to that. Because you want to make money.
Speaker 2I mean I get it. I'm not going to be mad at people that want to get a couple of dollars.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I could be go ahead, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2Now what I wanted to jump into, if you don't mind me going into it now Go Games. We know Mario Kart 9 was one of them, but have you heard about some possible League games?
Speaker 1The new Zelda game? I don't think.
Speaker 2Zelda is coming out anytime soon. That I don't see yet. I think Zelda is a couple of years away. To be honest with you, you just had the last Zelda that came out. What A year ago was it? Was it a year ago, two years ago?
Speaker 1Mario Prime. Well, we Not Prime.
Speaker 2I mean Metro Prime, Metro Prime 4, I believe 4.
Speaker 1Metro Prime, 4.
Speaker 2Yeah, the one that's biggest, with a lot of it's a lot of heat behind it, and that's why I believe it a lot too, because Snake Eater Because that game was supposed to come out for so long and it hasn't and I think that's the one that a lot of people are saying is like heavy going to come out. But the biggest one that's rumored now and it's almost a reality, for a lot of people are saying is it's an Xbox game and it's going to be the Forza Horizon 5. Everyone is saying that's going to be dropping on the Switch too. That was catching a lot of heat, a lot of people saying that's one to look out for and I think that would be a great game on the Switch. Actually, it would have been a Switch 1 or 2.
Speaker 1Yeah, but that would be a good game. It's going to every platform. It's amazing.
Speaker 2No, I know, but remember.
Speaker 1Nintendo doesn't always get you know. Xbox and most likely Nintendo Switch 2 as well.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that idea too, actually, but that's some of the few, along with, like 3D Super Mario the Zelda remake.
Speaker 1they're saying. They're saying Zelda game will be on there, yeah obviously Pokemon, you know. You can't yell.
Speaker 2Xenoblade Chronicles.
Speaker 1You can't remember Nintendo Switch launch route. You know Pokemon.
Speaker 2Come on. Yeah, I know, I know, so that's going to be big man.
Speaker 1So you know, outside of that now, mike, I'm going to ask you no, go ahead.
Speaker 2Release date what's your?
Speaker 1prediction. Remember, I predicted with our earlier podcast. I thought it was going to come out like May April. I thought it was going to follow the same format.
Speaker 2I think we both agreed on that.
Speaker 1Actually, I think I had the same ballpark too, I thought we were going to do the same format, but since we're going to do the little April 2nd, yeah, nintendo Switch 2 experience Most likely. I will say, you know, holiday season.
Speaker 2No, no, geez, you're bugging on that one. I think that's way too far.
Speaker 1Why.
Speaker 2Because Nintendo always says it's going to come out way too far. Why? Because the teller always says it's going to come out way before that. They've been pretty steady on that, actually.
Speaker 3Unless I'm confused, they were talking about revealing it.
Speaker 2I'm not going on holiday season, I'm going way beyond that. Wait, what do you mean? I'm way before that. I think it gets revealed April 2nd. It's in stores by June. I'm going June. I think it's a storm in June, man, the latest. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit you with one of those in stores May, but I'm going to be. I'm going to give them time to do the production. How is the season? Nah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1How is the season? Because, let's say, snake Eater comes out in September.
Speaker 2You don't wait for Snakey. Snakey's not gonna do a dive for you, but you said, you said they wouldn't align it with it with the Switch 2.
Speaker 1So yeah, I think so, but there's no release date for Snake 2, getting developers time to work the Switch, but they've been having the Switch.
Speaker 2We don't have it, but they've been having it.
Speaker 1You know that but you always, they always need time, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2Yeah, but this is why there's no Plus the Taylor.
Speaker 1Swift 2 is not going to be powerful as the current Xbox. No, we know that already of course yeah so they're going to need some time? Oh, they don't.
Speaker 2Preparation the way the Switch is set up right now. They held back on a lot of games you and I both know that because they want to put those new games onto their new system. The Switch is literally on a lifeline right now. There's no way on earth this system is going to wait another what are we? Eight months for the high season to start kicking in. Nintendo's not going to do that much because they're not going to make money. They're not going to make money.
Speaker 1Are you even correct by they're?
Speaker 2not going to wait that long. The high season? I just don't see it. Holiday season this is not going to sit there with a system that's been rumored to be coming out since last year, then to this year and then now, nah man, it's definitely coming out in June. I don't see beyond that. Remember you dropped the systems during the holiday season. If you remember, the Switch was dropped in. Dropped in what? March?
Speaker 1Yeah, they don't usually drop holiday season. If you think about it, didn't the Wii drop holiday season, didn't other, didn't other?
Speaker 2I don't know if the Wii dropped in the holiday season. We can look at it, but Nintendo of Tennessee not to look at it. Which one you want me to look at?
Speaker 1Definitely the Switch that came out in March because I got the Switch in.
Speaker 2March Do the Wii released date. Wii, you're correct, november 19th. We consider that a holiday season. I agree with you on that one. Okay, then, when the next one would be?
Speaker 1so you're going to do the Wii U. Let's see Wii.
Speaker 2U. Oh my bad. So Wii U release date that was November 19th, november 18th 2012, those were, but those were two older ones. Then we went to. Okay, let's go to GameCube. That was November 19th.
Speaker 1November 18th 2012. Mike.
Speaker 2Sampson's right, but those were two older ones. Then we went to Switch.
Speaker 1Okay, let's go to GameCube Switch, but we know when to switch to Loin. We're going to GameCube. Go to GameCube.
Speaker 2That was from March.
Speaker 1I got that in. March yeah but I was saying GameCube, go to GameCube.
Speaker 2Let's go somewhere that's a little before the holiday season. Actually September, september, yeah so so that's before the holiday season, like around the holiday season fall it was coming but it was before. We could, we could say the holiday season November.
Speaker 1Yeah, but like I said, I didn't even give you.
Speaker 2October, but November technically is the holiday season September, september. October. That was definitely holiday season. November 21st so, mr Mason, I'm going by the last day. That's a switch. It was not holiday, not traditional, but you were all right. I'll give you credit.
Speaker 1No, mr Mason, yeah, they did that, but now no. No, yeah, they did that, but now no.
Speaker 2No, they're going back to the same formula that most companies do. They did that not with a system that was on its last legs, like the way the Switch is. The Switch is literally on its last legs, Michael man. There's no way they could wait that for a while, especially when you got two other systems that are you know, running, and halfway. How many years head start are you already? I don't see it, man. I'm going. It's okay to disagree, we disagree, we disagree.
Speaker 1No, I'm right, so I don't know.
Speaker 2I'm right, I'm sticking with my June.
Speaker 1You're sticking with holiday season. I'm sticking with holiday season.
Speaker 2I'm sticking between June and summer.
Speaker 1You're going holiday.
Speaker 2I'm saying May and summer. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1May, summer, with August, I'm going to say May through August.
Speaker 2That's my timeline You're going obviously.
Speaker 1I don't see the fall man. No man, we'll see.
Speaker 2We'll find out. It's set on Game of Traffic. We'll find out who's right.
Speaker 1Y'all Me alright, mr Amazing. I mean, my thing is are you going to get it? So, mr Amazing, isn't, isn't? Isn't the dilemma whether to get a Steam Deck?
Speaker 2yeah, which is true. I really want a Steam.
Speaker 1Deck. I've been selling the show several times. It's part of the process of the movie, so I don't know. So Game of Traps. Y'all need to like and subscribe and get on Game of Traps so Mr could get that damn Switch 2. Come on, people, I had to do a.
Speaker 2GoFundMe, oh GoFundMe, facilitate your.
Speaker 1Steam Deck y'all. Oh no man, like and subscribe so we can get this done, but it's going to be very hard to get that system.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, you're right, am I going to get it?
Speaker 1Of course, I've got it in every freaking Nintendo there's.
Speaker 2Of course I got such day one. You forgot I got a day one. I was at the Best Buy 14th Street and got a day one.
Speaker 1I forgot, you got a day one, yeah man, I got a day one.
Speaker 2I got almost every Nintendo system day one.
Speaker 1I got a day one. Did I get the Wii U? No, because the Wii U was so damn hard to get.
Speaker 2The Wii was hard to get, but I did get that because I had yes, I used to be working at Toys R Us all the time, yeah, so I got that day one.
Speaker 1Also. I got the Wii U later on, which is now. Wii U is good but we're getting hacked. But that's another story. But, mr Amazing, so also let's talk about the Nintendo Switch over. The Nintendo Switch overall sales okay, jump into it yeah, nintendo Switch has sold over through the lifetime 146 million consoles, mr Mazin gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, and that number is still going to continue to grow but Mr Mazin has calculated that the Nintendo Switch has sold recently.
Nintendo Switch Game Sales and Ratings
Speaker 1We'll say it says over 151 million. The calculations, we'll say it says over $151 million. The calculations for the $146 million is for September 30th of last year. So we'll give and take that this yeah, they did sell in January, first week of January, $360,000.
Speaker 2I'm waiting for the second part of this question. You already know what it is. I don't know, do?
Speaker 1you think the Nintendo Switch will beat the PlayStation 2?
Speaker 2And PS2, for those who don't know, where does that stand at?
Speaker 1160 million.
Speaker 2So then, 160 million, that means you're 9 million consoles away.
Speaker 1No, I told you it's going to come close. It ain't going to happen.
Speaker 2It's going to come close and crush it, but they're going to surpass that number. Why are they going to surpass that number? New system comes out, old system gets a price drop. New system's not coming out. Let's say we go by Michael's calculation four.
Speaker 1No price drop.
Speaker 2You're going to get. Every system gets a price drop when a new one comes out.
Speaker 1PlayStation 3 did not get a price drop when it came out.
Speaker 2PlayStation 3? Nintendo's at its lightest leg. Playstation 3 was still making games for the PS3 and the PS4 at the same time. Because Nintendo's not going to be doing the same thing they have.
Speaker 1No, PS4 and PS3, they was not making that many crossover games, especially after the first two years. After the first two years on, they weren't doing that many crossover.
Speaker 2They weren't doing it, but I don't think Nintendo needs two years to surpass that. I think Nintendo just needs a whole end of 2020. 2026 around this time, I think Nintendo has the record 2026 around this time, nintendo has the record 2026. This time, exactly right now, a year from now, nintendo Switch has surpassed PS2. A year from now, nintendo Switch has surpassed PS2. I think so Because they're going to be the ones that couldn't find the Wii. Mom and Dad got me the regular Wii. I couldn't get the Switch. 2. Excuse me, I kept saying Wii Got the Switch. 1. Price cuts you couldn't get the Wii now. It was brand new. I'm not talking about for the holiday. When they can't get it, they're going to get those. It's going to surpass it, man. It's going to surpass it.
Speaker 1Well, you know what I say.
Speaker 2You know, what I cannot know and I've asked this question several times on the show is does the Nintendo light count towards the Switch cells? I never knew that answer.
Speaker 1I couldn't find that answer. I think they do count those.
Speaker 2They should, because the only difference is that one can't go on a TV screen. That's it. Outside of that, it's the same console, same cartridge, goes in both. So like, why would it not?
Speaker 1I always wondered that, but To me it's like would there be confusion, Confusion with the Nintendo Switch, Because they look basically the same.
Speaker 2Switch and one. Oh, you're talking about Switch and Switch 2? Yeah, I agree with you. I do agree. I kind of think they should have been a little bit more aesthetically appeasing, unless that trailer was just a little damn when they threw in the.
Speaker 1No, that's how this looks.
Speaker 2No, no, I agree with you, it is, but it did look very similar outside the magnetic stuff.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Let's just hope it plays better. I mean, that's just not going to switch one Just like you want. You want to see better.
Speaker 1All right, mr Amazing, I'm going to go into yo. Mr Amazing, what are the top five selling games of the switch to I mean sorry, switch generation, that's a good question.
Speaker 2Two of them, I think, I know off the head. What's what you A, mario or Zelda, or do you want to just be specific on?
Speaker 1it. Which one do you think is number one?
Speaker 2It's probably going to be Mario.
Speaker 1Mario what?
Speaker 2Which one are the Marios?
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2That's a very good question. I'm going to say Odyssey.
Speaker 1No, Mario Kart 8.
Speaker 2Oh yes, that's an easy one, because they dropped that one so many times.
Speaker 1I thought you were going to say that that is an easy one.
Speaker 2I did a Blumper on that one. The Blumper on that one.
Speaker 1Numbers, that this is Numbers. That's why we call them the Godfather of the Game. Numbers that Sony and Xbox, which they have in their franchises Mario Kart 8, has sold over 60, over 6 point 64 million. Sorry.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, no, you're right, that one I'm actually. I came a game. I despise you, despise this game.
Speaker 1Yes, I can't stand this game. Animal.
Speaker 2Crossing New Horizons. Oh, that's a great game. Can't stand that game. Even though I didn't play this this time around, I didn't really play it.
Speaker 1I bought it, think I'll be into it, and my sister said I won't be into it, but we all knew you was gonna be into it that's not your kind of game. Nah, I mean, if the landlord pull the gun out, something, do something. It was not my kind of game.
Speaker 2I just didn't find the interest to play this it's an amazing game, though that's not your kind of game, for sure that's not my kind of game.
Speaker 1But, mr Mazin, this is another game that you and me debate about. On the greatness of this game as a fighting game, tell me as a as a fighting game. Yes, you're talking about. Super Smash.
Speaker 2Brothers, super Smash Brothers, yeah.
Speaker 1Ultimate sold over 35 million copies. Okay, and your favorite character coming up next Legend of Zelda, breath of the Wild, sold over 32 million copies.
Speaker 2That's four Wow.
Speaker 1Yes, Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2Fifth is probably Pikmin or something Splatoon. Who's fifth?
Speaker 1I'm surprised they didn't put Pokemon up there.
Speaker 2Probably at the Pikmin or something Splatoon. Who's fifth?
Speaker 1I'm surprised they didn't put Pokemon up there, Probably the top five oh you don't have the fifth one.
Speaker 2I just gave you the old five, the top five. I thought that was four. You said Animal Crossing, magikarp 8. You said Zelda, is that five? No, that was a five. I think you missed one. Yo, my sister don't miss anything, unless I misheard you. What was your top? Maybe I got to go do this.
Speaker 1Oh, sorry, it's four. Sorry, it's four. Sorry. I was about to say I knew he was missing one. Sorry, my bad. So what's his fifth one? I don't have the fifth one in front of me. Sorry people, my bad, okay.
Speaker 2I'm going to guess the top five. One Is probably going to be Maybe like a Metroid no, maybe.
Speaker 1Probably a Pokemon game, or Mario Odyssey, probably a Pokemon game. Sorry, my miscalculation. I don't think it is Sorry for my miscalculation. My sense is losing out Wrong, but I was wrong. Thank you for correcting me. But, mr Bazin, let's go to the top rated Switch games. Let's go. What do?
Speaker 2you think?
Speaker 1Mr Bazin. Top rated Switch games by Metacritic.
Speaker 2Based on what though?
Speaker 1By Metacritic.
Speaker 2I mean it's definitely going to be freaking Mario Kart obviously.
Speaker 1Rated, rated. Rated by Metacritic.
Speaker 2Oh rated, I don't think Mario Kart would be one actually.
Speaker 1Number one is not Mario Kart, mr Amazing, it's not no.
Speaker 2Mario Odyssey, maybe no.
Speaker 1Wow, is it a Mario Yo. Legend of.
Speaker 2Zelda Breath of the Wild, bro Okay.
Speaker 1I'm surprised. It surprised not a Mario. That makes sense, though. Surprise, Mr Mage.
Speaker 2You got that wrong. I mean, that makes sense though.
Speaker 1What's number two? Hold up, I'll give you number two Super Mario Odyssey, okay, which is rated at 97. Which is a Legend of Zelda, breath of the Wild, was also rated at 97.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Number three. Mr Mage, you want to give a crack at it?
Speaker 2Number three don't tell me, let me see. It's not the Peach game, is it? No, I was messing with you. I knew it's not. What is it?
Speaker 1This game, the House of Fatal. Oh, I never got that. Yeah, so that was rated number six on Metacritic. Okay, I mean 96. Sorry. Never played that actually Nope, don't even care to play it.
Speaker 2I thought it'd probably be a Bayonetta or something.
Speaker 1Yeah, I thought so too at the time. And number four is the Legend of Zelda. Mr Amazing Rated 96. Tears of the Kingdom.
Speaker 2I mean it is. It's nothing to be. I'm not, it is.
Speaker 1So I'll go to number five Portal, the compilation.
Speaker 2I was never into Portal.
Speaker 1Yeah, I bought the first one. I didn't buy the second one.
Speaker 2I was not into it. I was never into it.
Speaker 1And I'll put in number six Tetris Effect. That's a good game, actually 94,. I I'll put it in number 6 Tetris Effect. That's a good game, actually 94. I would say 94, but I also, since Metroid Prime was also rated, was number 7, 94 but no by another yo anybody. Persona fans Persona fans Persona 5 Royal what about Super Mario Bros Wonders?
Speaker 2that game got it got nominated for game of the year. That didn't make it not in the top 10. Damn Mario Bros Wonders. It got nominated for Game of the Year.
Speaker 1That didn't make it Not in the top 10?.
Speaker 2Damn Nominated. They didn't even make Cracktario Wow.
Speaker 1Oh, not Metacritic. Super Mario, okay, nope, it's number 14, a Mario game that was rated number Super Mario Bros, super Mario Wonders. Yep Rated number 92 on Metacritic 92? Wow, wow, that's up there. Smash Bros 93, mr Amazing Damn.
Speaker 2And it's just Nintendo, am I right? Huh, it's just Nintendo, just Nintendo.
Speaker 1Switch, nintendo Switch. Oh wow, oh, you're on Tele Mario's on. Xbox.
Speaker 2I thought like just based, you know, based on the medical check.
Speaker 1Okay, all right, I mean none of us surprised you all solid game, so I'm not surprised by it, okay, fair.
Speaker 2I mean, at the end of the day, it's it's, it's you to consumer and what you like. So it is what it is. It is what it is. My only regret with the Switch system is I'll be honest with you I didn't take advantage of playing. Enough of it. I think that's one of my defaults with this console is that I didn't play as much as I should have this console generation. This one Nintendo.
Speaker 1This one.
Speaker 2I didn't play as many games and I feel like I missed out on a lot. You gotta play your time frame it's amazing you know it is what it is. On this one you won't be able to get.
Speaker 2Nintendo Switch 2 when it comes out, unless we get out a hookup don't be carry problems out there, mike, don't be carry, I can't remember all this. Yo Can't remember all this. But if any sponsors want to come sponsor us with games, we'll be happy to try them out for you and let you know our opinions on it. On the Gary Traffic.
Speaker 1Show. Oh yeah, we still try to get a YouTube channel, but, mr Basic, we still get that set up. You know what I'm saying, so hopefully soon, but everybody, absolutely. Yeah. But, mr Basic, anything else you want to say about Nintendo, nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2?
Nintendo and Handheld Gaming Competition
Speaker 2okay, I'm going to ask you a question. Did you obviously the console? Did you have a favorite hardware for what that Nintendo came out with within the since between the 2017 and now with the Switch lifespan? Is there anything Nintendo related within the since between the 2017 and now with the Switch lifespan? Is there anything Nintendo related between the 2017 and now that you? Hardware wise yeah, just hardware wise, yeah nothing nothing with hardware.
Speaker 1Wise, you talking about the box, no no, no.
Speaker 2What I mean is like within the time frame of the Wii Switch I keep saying the time frame of the Switch release. Is there any hardware? It doesn't have to be the Switch, but just anything Nintendo between 2017 and now that you really enjoyed.
Speaker 3Smash Brothers.
Speaker 1You're talking about games, games, yeah, for some games. Metroid Prime, yes, metroid Dreads, metroid Dreads sorry, metroid Dreads and Metroid Prime. The remaster yeah but other than I mean I enjoyed the attempts on innovation with the Mario Kart virtual thing and even the box thing, which I laughed. I forgot to call it me too, but you know the Mario Kart one. You said that yes, okay so I think they always try to do something different, which I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1I might laugh and scoff at some of the things, whether it's Nintendo Switch or Xbox or PlayStation, but I think, with Nintendo Switch 2, what's the biggest competition?
Speaker 2Handhelds in general. It's handhelds because remember, after the Steam Deck and all those scale, OCG, Ally and all that came out. Handhelds in general because everyone's making one now.
Speaker 1You turn around, but the only thing is the price points these other hands are upwards of $1000 and do you think, with Microsoft and Sony possibly entering the handheld zone once again, are they going to make a dent in them?
Speaker 2Not at all. Not at all Not even an inch. They didn't do it before, why would they do it now? The PSP gave it a good run but the PSP was around when the Tenors had other systems around. Yeah, they gave it a good run.
Speaker 1They sold like over 80 million units.
Speaker 2That's cute.
Speaker 1That's cute. That's cute, but people don't know why they sold that much. Because you could you know, because you could do other things.
Speaker 2Other things with it.
Speaker 1Even at that they do other things with it and you know get a lot of. You know promote stuff. Yeah, let's get Unlock and get.
Speaker 2I can get free games. It's so funny because my brother-in-law the other day his sister had a PSP just laying around our house and he got it. He was so hyped she didn't even touch the thing. She's like I think I can brand you yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, so people, you know, like I said, unlocking it and playing other games on it Free, so that mainly popular. The Vita was just. I had it, one of the best hand-welded hardware, but unfortunately nothing happened. But if that was the Nintendo Switch, oh my God, we're talking about forever. This is the best hardware ever made. I mean sorry, it was made by Nintendo and plus Nintendo would have supported it more. What is the truth?
Speaker 2Which is true also. I don't disagree with that, you know so.
Speaker 1But, like you said, Xbox, Sony have no chance to get the Switch.
Speaker 2Nah, they don't. It's too big of a head start. Yo, I don't even think Xbox and Switch is going to beat Steam Deck. That deck goes to show you. I don't think they're going to get to their. You, I don't think they're going to get to their numbers, unless they come up with something out of the box. I just don't see it. We can see, I mean, but Sony, even though it's not considered a handheld, but Sony with their Portal, it's making waves.
Speaker 1It's making waves. It's like I stated in other podcasts it's the top 10 accessory video game accessory yeah it's making waves.
Speaker 2So I think that inspires Sony to be like hey guys, look what we did with the portal. Now, if we were going to fish your handheld, we might be on to something. But, like I said, on to something doesn't mean you got it. But Sony's my sister. Sony's been my sister of choice for the last few years, probably, like last decade now.
Speaker 1All right, Mr Amazing, so I'm not mad at that All right, mr Amazing, let's go to our trail of the week. Mr Amazing, all right, sinners, let's check it out. Baby One, two, three, let's go.
Speaker 3You've been gone a long time. We back now. You twins, nah, we cousins. There are legends of people with the gift of making music. So true, it can conjure spirits from the past and the future. This gift can bring fame and fortune. Will somebody take me in your arms? But it also can pierce the veil between life and death.
Speaker 3Listen here, this ain't no house party Shit. Y'all ready to drink, y'all ready to sweat till y'all stink? You know, I'm sorry, you keep dancing with the devil. Careful boy, you gonna bite off more than you can chew. One day he's gonna follow you home. You think that's a problem now? What the hell going on? Oh, we heard tale of a party. This world already left you for dead. I can save you from your fate. You don't need no saving. Yes, you do and you are. I am your way out. Don't cry. He's all better now. Yes, I lied to you. I don't believe in magic, ghosts, demons, just power. Somebody please take me who? We gonna kill every last one of you. Hey, I didn't mean to scare you, thought y'all done, forgot about me in here. Come on, open the door, let me on out of here. Steve, it's you, of course it's me. Open the door. Let me on out of here, stave is you? Of course it's me open the door. That ain't your brother lurching. You know what's the only thing I think? I shot myself.
Speaker 1Mr Amazing, send us to our Michael B Jordan. What do you think of it like a slash forward thriller movie? Send down south back in the days, mr Amazing. When you green light it, y'all light it, or red light this trailer machine.
Speaker 2I'm green. It reminds me of Get Out. Yeah, I told you while the trailer was playing.
Speaker 3It reminded me of the one, that HBO one, I can't remember the name of it, but it got cancelled.
Speaker 2I actually liked that when they cancelled. It reminds me of that also. And then you got some prominent names in the movie. Actually, obviously, we started with Michael B Jordan you got my guy from I always know from the Wire and others, but I always know from the Wire. Sorry, I don't know your name, man, but you're a great actor.
Speaker 1I know the guy that came up with his name all the time in my head.
Speaker 2Yeah, me neither, but he's a great actor he has a yeah, yeah, so it's.
Speaker 1It comes out April 18th of this year. Yeah, I thought it would be Valentine's Day, it looked like a Valentine's Day movie.
Speaker 2Why is it a Valentine's Day movie, bro Michael? What kind of movies? Always because of Valentine's Day love movie, love story movies, my Valentina remember that came out my.
Speaker 3Valentina what's it called again the?
Speaker 2one that you, maybe the one I watch on your 3D TV. Yo, that came out on Valentine's Day. Whatever it was called, yo, it was based on my Valentine's, of course, but it was horror, though it wasn't a love movie. They always drop a horror movie during Valentine's Day. It feels like they do.
Speaker 1Coast. Yeah, probably you told me.
Speaker 2I thought that was going to be a Valentine's Day. Release Beyonce with you.
Speaker 1I thought it could be a hit movie. It looks like it is going to be one. Most horror movies don't cost that much money. If he makes like $150 million, they've made a good profit off of it.
Speaker 2Of course. What's his first name? Michael B Jordan? No, no, no, the producer Cougar, the Black Panther guy.
Speaker 1That's the same guy as.
Speaker 2Black Panther. He's known for this stuff. This is up his alley so should be interesting.
Speaker 1Alright, mr Amazing, let's go to our should we care? Topic of the week, mr Amazing, already broken already, but we'll go back onto. Microsoft has announced that 4-5 will be coming to PlayStation 5 this spring. Mr Amazing, what do you think about that, mr Amazing? Do you care a lot?
Speaker 2little, not at all, I think you should care a lot actually, because that's a great game on the Switch. If it's on the Switch 2, you put it on the Switch 2. I care about that actually, and the mechanics of a Switch to play the game and stuff like that. So I think you get a whole different experience A same game but a different experience and stuff like that. So I think you're getting a whole different experience A same game but a different experience. I think it's a game. I actually care actually. I actually care. What about you?
Speaker 1My thing is like I reached a point that it's normal. Now Microsoft, to me, is nothing but a third party.
Speaker 2Oh, you called your Sega. He said yo look at Sega.
Speaker 1You called your Sega for a long time and I recently saw my spot for Microsoft, but I just think that we're not actually surprised that this is happening with Microsoft anymore.
Speaker 2I'd be surprised if Microsoft says, hey, Gears of War is coming on the system. That's what I'd be surprised.
Speaker 1Like I said, I'm be surprised. You know, like I said, I'm not surprised Doom was coming on there, because, remember, doom was I mean wait, then I was due for the Switch. No Doom was coming for PS5 oh yeah, that's not surprising. I'm like, yeah, cool, but also, mr Amazing, probably should we, should. We care a lot, literally not all topic um the um, playstation, the creators, developers of MLB, the show 25 would not be on Game Pass wait, wait, say that again the show the show baseball game yes, would not be on Game Pass really
Speaker 2why, they didn't like the sales.
Speaker 1I guess Xbox wasn't giving that money up you know, so they'll tell baseball put the show on a Game Pass. Okay, so basically you gotta buy it digitally or physically. You still get an Xbox.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, you can still get an Xbox. It won't be on a Game Pass. Oh no, that was a PlayStation exclusive man, was it? Yes, it was, yeah, I did a very exclusive man, was it?
Speaker 1yes, yeah, it was, yeah, the old studios did it for a very long time yeah, I remember they did a very good job with it no, that's a very that's a great baseball game.
Speaker 2Actually, I don't play baseball games like that anymore, but that was a great one, the only thing if you play the baseball spot.
Speaker 1You play some, you make it make it more, make it more quicker, you know. So the gameplay, well, not to say the gameplay, but the hours of the game, oh, okay, okay. So, mr Major, anything you want to say before we end the show? I don't have a shout out of the week. Do you have a shout out of the week? Well, hold on. But I forgot to say okay, okay, we both green light the trailer for Sinners, absolutely, and should we care a lot? A little, like I said, I care a little about both topics, whether it's it won't be the show, cause it's like I think you try to. Unfortunately, a lot of consumers at Xbox want the games free. They're losing out buying games. It's like how movie theaters, after 30 days, they won't put their movies on streaming. That's true, and you got people losing out. Why should I watch it now, before it's streaming? So, as far as the MV show, care a little. Was it a big deal? No, so I'm not going to say I care a lot, but go right ahead, mr Nathan.
Speaker 2I do agree with you on several things. Only thing is, with the Forza I actually care a lot on that one A lot more of me on that one. I think it's a different experience Same game but the different system gives you a different experience. How's the experience? The?
Speaker 1whole handheld concept the whole joystick thing. I'm talking about placing the flywheel, not on the Nintendo Switch, oh not on the Switch, on the Switch, On the Switch.
Speaker 2I mean I don't care, but on the Switch I do that, so that's a big difference. And my thing is a Joy-Con. What's the difference between a Joy-Con? What's the difference? Because, remember, you can do more. You can add it to the little wheel thing, you can do a little bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1You can just buy yourself a wheel thing Xbox 360, Xbox, you do the same thing.
Speaker 3Which is true. So now it's like ooh.
Speaker 1The only thing that made me to happen feedback for the PlayStation 5, but the only person who really loses the happy feedback is the people who create Astro Bot. Everybody else is just not really using it. They get advantage of it.
Speaker 2Astro Bot did a very good job with that. Yeah, I this week, if I want to Nah oof, I got to talk about it when you play. I want to dig into that game more.
Speaker 1All right, so, miss May, I guess we have no shout-out of the week, no gangster or wankster of the week either. Oh, wankster, I got wankster.
Speaker 2Netflix, raising my damn price again. That's what I want to say. Where did again man To what? Now I don't know, I almost got that $30. I got the highest one man Me too, yes. Oh, yo yeah they're damn waxes yo For me.
Speaker 1A lot of people Remember I was predicting Netflix will be 50 bucks 50's a lot, because that's the whole cable service.
Gaming YouTuber Talks Xbox Updates
Speaker 2But yo yeah, they're raising the price again. Man, I was like damn man, when Netflix, you get the wax of the week for raising your prices, that's right, they do yo.
