Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Gamer Traffic Show. I'm your host, Mike Samson. Chilling my co-host! Tippy Amazon, how am I doing today? Everybody, give up for Mr. Amazon. And today's Gamer Traffic show, we're gonna talk about Mr. Amazon's favorite system all time. Is it Mr. Amazon? Damn, right Nintendo. Nintendo 40th anniversary for the NES, Mr. Amazon. We're also gonna talk about our reaction to the movie Play Day with premieres on Amazon, Mr. Amazon. We're also gonna talk about the Street Fighter movie cast. Does the movie cast actually match the roles of the Street Fighter key players, Mr. Mason? But again, today's show talking about Violet Veil games are under attack. Mr. Amazon, Violet Veil Games lose you under attack in America, but now Mexico stepped in. Earlier this week, the Mexican Chamber of Deputies approved a comprehensive financial plan that includes an 8% tax on Mr. Amazon. Violent veil games, Mr. Amazon. According to Inside Gamer, Mr. Amazon, the proposed tax will cover games that are rated C or D rated, which is rated mature in Mexico, Mr. Amazon. So for C-Ray, players who are who are actually 18 years old are allowed for to watch stream violent video games, which include bloodshed, modern graphic sexual content. D is only for adults only, Mr. Amazon. So I don't I my thing is that is a is there a rating for America like D-Ray was only adults only?
SPEAKER_01:No, we do have a mature and teen, but we don't have adults only.
SPEAKER_00:I think they do, but I think they do, but that's I think it's an A. But that's rarely you see that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's that's very rare.
SPEAKER_00:And you're not gonna sell that game.
SPEAKER_01:Exactly.
SPEAKER_00:Because I doubt Walmart, Target, or even GameStop are gonna sell it. You might get an eBay, you might get an Amazon. Yeah. Sounded very exclusive, yeah. Yeah, that's something very exclusive. So this was reduced in September, Mr.
SPEAKER_01:Mason. Yeah, so pretty much what it was, it was part of Mexico's 2026 economic package that was stated by Dominic Bolzak of Game Rap. So he got a little deep into it and he said the reasoning behind this, according to the Treasury Department, the reasoning is that it's to help people suffer from negative social and psychological effects that violent video game brings. So he figured he could capitalize on 8% on that. But ladies and gentlemen, what they felt to say in this economic package is that there's no facts to go with this. Just like here in the States, Mike, there's no facts that they say watching playing video games, watching already movies makes someone to go and shoot somebody. That's the argument they've been using for decades, but there's no facts to go with it.
SPEAKER_00:But do you think there's a percentage that does influence people? Books you can't say movies, books can influence people in a thought and well-being. So video games can play a role, but I think the percentage they're talking about when they think that's yo, come on. You think one out of two, you think nine out of ten people who play violent video games or go out and kill somebody? Of course not. What a small percentage that does influence.
SPEAKER_01:Why eight percent, why not nine? Why not eight percent, why not two? Like taxes? Yeah, what's the percentage of that? It's like, where did where are you getting these numbers from? So, pretty much to make this simpler for for our purposes, this is their version of their big beautiful bill. This is Mexico's version of it. And to me, it's a money grab. Because there's no there's all these years, the Mexican people they they've you know, they've been playing video games and stuff like that. What they really should be going after if they're worried about violence video games is the cartels that are recruiting uh we talked about it because we talked about exactly they're losing violent video games to recruit members into the cartel. Those are what you should be going after through social media. Through social media video games. Yeah, exactly. That's a if you're telling him you're going after that, then I'd be I can I get it because that's a big problem. We don't want to see a 15, 14-year-old being recruited to the cartels because he was playing Fortnite, Call of Duty, or whatever the child was playing. That I can understand, but just video games in general makes no sense to go after and charge an 8% levy on it without any fact. There was no facts proven on why an 8% should be charged. And then the reason they're saying is that the suffering and negative social psychological effect. Don't play the game if it's giving you that. Or limit your parents who also because these games are rated, which I which I think you should have rated.
SPEAKER_00:We have rating is rated C and D for Mexico Video Games AIDS qualification, which is similar to the US S or E S R B rating, USA, C rated, like I stated before, where players are at least 18 years old, allow for extreme violent bloodshed, modern graphic sexual contact, while D rating is more reserved for prolonging scenes, including similar contact. Which I don't understand. Is this a difference? Is that more mature? I don't know. I don't know. I don't understand that.
SPEAKER_01:I I I'm sorry, I look at it as a money grab. Because if I looked a little bit deeper in this package, is this package is going after video games, is going after tobacco, gambling, and sugary drinks. And you know, so these are all I can understand some of the other tobacco, obviously, in gambling, because that could be a serious problem. And even sugary drinks for the kids. Our mayor Bloomberg went after sugary drinks from New York City a couple years ago. And then because of him, they got rid of the big cups, the superseme, and all that stuff. But then they put it back. They still have the big cups. They do have the big cups. They do have the big cups. But I think they got rid of like the super size me and stuff like that, though. I think they did get, I think some fast food restaurants got rid of the room.
SPEAKER_00:Some fast food restaurants got rid of it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. But my thing is like, you're you start breaching on some freedoms, be honest with you. And there's no facts proven it. If they give me facts, I can understand that, but they did it. So I'm I'm not a fan of this 8% tax because I feel there's better ways to control and monitor games that are violent than levying a tax because guess what's gonna happen? I'll just pay the extra fee and I'll get what I want.
SPEAKER_00:My thing is that um it's all about the parents. The parents need to watch what their kids are playing, regardless on the phone, video games, you need a monster with your kids playing. That's the bottom line. We're always we're trying to blame some other entity of guarding people parenting skills. It's your parents. Yeah, but forget the parents for a second, though.
SPEAKER_01:This is a question I'm questioning my view and everybody else is okay, so you figure you smack 8% tax. What does that do to vital games? Okay, I'm gonna pay an extra fee.
SPEAKER_00:What's she saying?
SPEAKER_01:I'll just pay an extra fee then. So what does that do?
SPEAKER_00:It doesn't do nothing. I'll just pay the fee and get the game. My thing, what's the purpose of the bills? To deter people from playing. Is that deter people from playing video game because it costs more? Exactly. We know a Grand Theft Carol comes out and it's$90, people are gonna buy it. They're gonna buy it.
SPEAKER_01:They're buying$100. They're gonna buy it. They're gonna buy it. We know it's fast. So this 8% is not doing nothing but giving you guys money. If you wanted, if you really wanted it to support Violet Village, get rid of it, you'll be going after the cartels and doing other stuff that Riku gave. So I'm totally disagreeable.
SPEAKER_00:Show the cartels, man.
SPEAKER_01:Show the cartels. Sorry, cartels. Sorry, man. We don't mean that we don't mean any harm, anything like that. No, but I'm just saying, generally speaking, if that that is that's the case, that's what they would be doing. But like, this doesn't bring any. I don't see how they solve the problem.
SPEAKER_00:It solved no problem. This is what, like you said, it's a money grab. And like I said, if people want the game, they're gonna pay the 8% tax.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, of course. They are they are gonna happen. You think Grand Theft all day ain't buying it? Yeah, of course, of course they're gonna buy it. Come on. Call of Duty, they ain't buying it? They're buying it. They're buying all that game. Come on. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, man, this was a waste to me because it's not gonna do anything. This this shows no kind of you know, care for the consumer.
SPEAKER_00:But the deadline is November 15th, cement to cement the budget proposal, Mr. Mayor.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I think right now it's in their version of the Senate, and then I guess from there they rule it. They might they might downplay something, they might lower the fee, they might do other stuff. We don't know. But it did pass at the chambers of deputies, and now it's it's to their Senate to vote on now.
SPEAKER_00:It's funny it said this will apply to digital and physical copies. Like, it should. I mean, a game. It's a game and games. It doesn't matter. Oh, digital hard is the same games. Well, no, it's not digital, it's only for physical copies. What the fuck? What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_01:I saw that too. I I bet it's a good one.
SPEAKER_00:What are you talking about? So only for physical copies. But you get digits okay. But I can't say about that. Remember, if you bought a couple years ago, if you bought games on PlayStation store, there was no taxes on it.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, I do recall that.
SPEAKER_00:I do recall that. Yeah. But late, I think a year or two, a year and a half ago, they stopped it.
SPEAKER_01:Of course, I'm saying I get his party, man.
SPEAKER_00:No. So I see I can see what they're talking about, uh, reference to that. But Mr. Mason. Yes, sir. Anything else you want to say about the topic? No, I'm good on this one. I know we're not in Mesco, we're not outraged. Are we outraged about this? No, yes, sir. I'm not already, but I think it's ridiculous. I think it's diggers. But you know the government does the money grabs wherever they can. Yeah. The only thing uh but the only thing I gotta say about it, they're gonna pay it. Of course they will. They have to pay it. You want it, you're gonna pay it. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? You'll find a way to pay for it, blah, blah, blah. Mr. Mason, a next topic. Controversial in some ways, we see that Saudi Arabia is getting involved in the video game industry, Mr. Amazon. And it's been going buck wow. Saudi Arabia global video game market expected to reach what what Mr. Mason, you know the amount? 55 billion, I think. 60 billion, 600 billion dollars in the next five years, Mr. Mason. The market has reached 300 billion in 2024. Wow. Mr. It's outrageous it's going. And this year, 2025, the market is now made, it's projected to make, well, not projected, it is made, has made$337 billion, Mr. Mason, and a year's now over. According to Grand View Horizon data, Mr. Mason, Saudi's a big player. Say is a big player. Boxing got their heads to do with it. UFC, UFC, WE, but a lot of people complain about rights and stuff like that with Sarah and human rights, but they have no problem, they have no problem taking the money.
SPEAKER_01:Of course not. Money's king. We also have to do that.
SPEAKER_00:And I know America talks about one thing about America. We love America, we're a great country. But when it comes to money, people money is king. People lose their values for money.
SPEAKER_01:There's a lot that I can say right now, but this ain't the kind of show. It's not that kind of show. People lose the value for it. There's a lot that I can say, but it ain't that kind of show, y'all.
SPEAKER_00:You know what I'm saying? So isn't that that kind of show? We're not gonna go deep into that. But it's a big thing, Mr. Amazon. I mean, the Crown Prince Mohammed Ben Sam uh Sandman launched a video game, national video game esports strategy in 2022. Uh placed special emphasis on the gaming sector as one of the key items, the country's vision for 2030 economic diversity plan. Diversification plan. Damn, video games is that big in that country? It's so big, Mr. Mason. Saudi Arabia has stated that, okay, women. I find them strange that women, okay, they have women. 48% of Saudi women identify as gamers. Nice. This is recorded, this is according to an article by law firm Bird and Bird.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I I see because remember, gaming now is on your phone. That's considered gaming. Yeah, it's considered gaming now. I can see where women and who use their phone a little bit more or usually tend to be women, or men are probably more likely to have a console or a PC. So I can I can see that actually.
SPEAKER_00:Research has showed a high percentage of you and salary with are between 67 and 80% regularly play video games. Which is not surprising. I probably it's probably the same in the US.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I give it a shit.
SPEAKER_00:And like I said, games get everywhere. It could be your phone, it could be on PlayStation or your computer. I would say Xbox.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, that's another topic.
SPEAKER_00:You tell the switch, your handheld devices. I mean, this is a big thing. Sally's making big moves. And with the acquisition of Mr. Amazon, who did who they who they acquire, Mr. Amazon? Who they're acquiring the partnership with EA?
SPEAKER_01:Is that what you're talking about? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, the partnership with EA. That is big, Mr. Amazon. They acquired the Sims Battlefield, Mr. Amazon. And how much the deal is, Mr. Amazon? Do you know? 55 billion billions. Damn. This is the biggest acquisition since Microsoft's 68.7 billion acquisitions of Activision Blizzard. Yep. This is how big video games is. And we always say this. A lot of people get offended. We get several video game companies. It's a business, people. Oh, of course it is. It's a business. That's what it's first. And that's why you see, like, and uh like Nintendo leadership has switched and changed. The people before, like um, we'll say the older leadership, they're more of a gamer than a current leadership.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah, currently.
SPEAKER_00:Jim Ryan was never a video game player.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.
SPEAKER_00:Shuhei was a video game player. Uh I forgot the other two guys' names. Sorry, I forgot your name. They were more into the video games. That's why you've seen the shift. Well, uh Jim Ryan, I forgot the other guy who used to run um, what's the studio? Horizon? Gorilla Games. Guerrilla Games, yeah. So like I said, they make the push for all this live service game. We're gonna have 12 live service games, which I can never understand. Because how you gonna have 12 live service games in 2025? How's that possible? Like, even I know how's that possible is amazing. You gotta try a level service game. What ain't they doing almost the same thing? Yeah, pretty much. So, I mean, I know the excuse is that um at the time that we're gonna off track, that one live service game will pay for all the rest. But all that time, money, manpower lose to what? So you got one major hit, and the one major hit they have right now is currently Helldivers 2, which is not a Sony first-party company. True. So, video games a big business. Don't get it twisted, people. Don't get it twisted. I know fans get upset. Oh, no, they did not listen to you. Yes, some of the would love to listen to you, but they got stock, they got people, stockholders listen to the big bosses they have to answer to and make sure they make money. Agree. That's why you see students go shut down, open one day, close the next day. Yeah, and we still do that with Microsoft. Your game will flop. Yo, maybe back in the days, you might say, we'll give you another chance. Now on to the next one. Sorry, bro. Shut down. On to the next one. So it's amazing. What do you think about this? Uh further give me your game. What's your opinion, man?
SPEAKER_01:No, I mean, I'm reading it. I mean, it's a big industry. We saw what the number the the heights and numbers that reached during COVID when we were seeing all-time highs in sales, streaming and playing. So I'm not surprised, and I'm not surprised that Saudi is acquiring all this because they see the potential, they saw the potential already, and they feel like they can take it to another level. I'm not mad at them. Yeah, and Saudi has the money, I'll do the same thing too.
SPEAKER_00:Damn, Warcraft's now far off with them. But like I like I said before, Saudi has the hands in UFC, W E. What's that? And I um I know we didn't mention it before. Guess where WrestleMania is gonna be at next year? Guess in Saudi Arabia somewhere. People are mad, people are mad about that. Yeah, I'm not gonna fly out there. Um I watch more wrestling than Mr. Amazing, yeah, but I'm not gonna, it's the tickets are outrageous right now. Imagine going to WrestleMania and Saudi, get the bleep out of here. You know what I'm saying? Come on, that's even boxing, the boxing episode on Netflix Saudi involved. Yeah, yeah. And like I said, people don't care about well, they'll they'll they're dating them, they're not great with human rights. Yo, money rules everything around me, all right? Wu Tang said it. So, Mr. Mason, anything else you want to say about this? I know I went a little off rant with this. Nah, I'm good. All right, Mr. Mason. Our next topic, Mr. Mason. Let's go on. Mr. Mason, this is your wheelhouse. This is the big players 40-year anniversary. Who that goes to?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, and yes, it's turning the big 4-0 1985 to 2025. Happy birthday, Nintendo.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, and this, I know we usually do shoutouts later in the in the uh podcast, but we do the shout out right now.
SPEAKER_01:And to come on come commoderate this, let us know what they're doing, Mike. They have a couple stuff coming out.
unknown:Mr.
SPEAKER_00:Basing, you missed the Nintendo.
SPEAKER_01:We can jump right into it. So they're dropping uh retro uh cube speaker, which is which is an 8-bit.
SPEAKER_00:Yep, 8-bit. 8-bit as far as we're making all these items.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, 8-bit, so yeah, they are. And it and it's uh it's pretty much a Nintendo 8-bit speaker. That's pretty cool, actually. I actually like it. That's selling for$49.99, and it's supposed to release on December 12th. Shout out to my son, that's his birthday. Oh, is he getting that? No, he's that he's like Nintendo.
SPEAKER_00:It's funny how the kids grow. A lot of kids grew out of Nintendo.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, which is true, because they're more into like that multiplayer, Fortnite, Fortnite. They're not really attached to Mario. Nintendo, but Nintendo's still, I think what holds Nintendo is games like Pokemon. Oh, Pokemon, yeah. I think that's what's carrying like Mario, obviously. But Mario's still big, big very family-oriented games. Yeah, but I but the thing is that Nintendo has such a follow-up, like when they do drop their big, their all their A AAA games, it just draws the base that they need that they can get the sales off. I'm I'm crazy. I can't wait to see. We didn't do it this year, but I want to see the numbers on Pokemon.
SPEAKER_00:But the thing is, those games, uh Mario Kart, those are very good genres to be in. Yes. Racing games, very kid friendly, very family friendly. Yes. It's the Smash Brothers games, a lot of people into fighting games. We play your favorite characters, very friendly. Then you drop Zelda after the Mario. Yeah, Zelda, stuff like that. So we have options. Well, Mr. Mace, go on. Yeah, so what else do we have? So the keyboard, the keyboard, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, the yeah, so we got the keyboard and edition, but that one comes with a hefty price, though, man. 100 bucks? Oh no, man. 150? I'll try more than that. That must be 250. Nah, yeah, that'll be a bargain. Is it more is it more than an Xbox console? It's a little less than that, but it's up, it's right. Well, I should know. It's it's$3.99. Is it$499 or$399? I forgot. Is it$499?$4.99? Oh, then it might be there. Wait it then.
SPEAKER_00:$499.$4.99, man, from the keyboard. But let me ask you a question. Yeah. Does it okay? Does it go with PC? That's a good question. It has to. It has to. It has to. That's uh, I left you. I mean, I I thought like I said, really go deep into it. I know you missed the Nintendo.
SPEAKER_01:I I I don't know the answer, but it would not make sense for it not to, though. I was wondering, would it go for a Mac? I was like, does it go for a Mac? I don't know about Mac, but I definitely think it should go for a PC though. It don't it only makes sense. Because if you're gonna pay that kind of price for something that only works on a Nintendo probably makes it makes absolutely no sense. It has to go on a PC. That's something I gotta look into though.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's what I was wondering. So does it go for the Mac computer? You know what I'm saying? So I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know either, actually. I mean, you know, we'll find out though. But uh well, as Mike looks that up, also dropping are black and gray with red button uh controller with a charging with a charging deck. What was that for? I didn't see the price on that one. I think it's$85,$85 between$85 and$89. Yeah, that looks pretty cool actually. I was like, oh, okay. And the analogs on there too, so maybe make myself clear. So that looks good. But obviously, the more important thing is when is the system being released?
SPEAKER_00:But it's actually out you could pick it up at Best Buy. Um there's only one left in our neighborhood. Okay. You can pick it out at Rego Park. Oh, they have one?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It's already out for sale? It's already out for sale, they're about to pick, you can pick it up.
SPEAKER_01:Well, Mike, if you wanted to go get pick it up.
SPEAKER_00:No, I would not be picking it up, Mr. Mason. Not for Oh no, no, no, no, no. Sorry, Mr. Mason. Well, this now, this can't be it. I don't think it's out yet. I don't think it's out. This is one more. Sorry, Mr. Mason. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01:Because they had a prior one that was that was out. That was eight. That was this this one's saying nine hours. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. They had one that was out already, but did this one's not the same one.
SPEAKER_00:No, I'm sorry. I don't even think it's out yet. That's not out yet. That's a long one, Mr. Mas. Sorry about that, people. Sorry, uh no worries. But um Mr. Bates fell, no worries, but he was hyped up thinking that it's out now. But um, it's really out January 26, January 2026, Mr. Amazon, and for the price of$500, and this keyboard is more durable than the previous keyboard, and also more heavier than the previous quad, and also more expensive. Like I said, it's$500. The previous keyboard that came out in 2023 was only$99. More affordable. You know, it's 40th anniversary, baby. Oh, yo, yo. If you want it, and it's like I said, these are limited items.
SPEAKER_01:No, I hear you. I mean, I honestly I don't care about the keyboard. The two items that I'm more interested in is the retro cube speaker and the controller. Those are the two that I would be interested in, and the more affordable one. And for those who want to grab it, the keyword peel is more affordable one, Mr. Maze. If you guys got it, you got it. But if you guys do want to grab a controller, you are limited to 1,985 of them. So make sure you can pre-order that as soon as possible because it's coming out in less than a month.
SPEAKER_00:November 15th, y'all. Yeah, Mr. Maze is correct. It's releasing November 15th, 2025, and is only limited to 1,985 units. The scalpers will be out, Mr. Amazing. Absolutely. So this control costs$79. It will cost you probably$200 by scalpers or even more. Yeah, because you never want their hand on that. Don't think that shocked me about it. I don't see. What does it say 40 anniversary on it?
SPEAKER_01:It probably doesn't know. Doesn't say it. It's one of those, if you know, you know. Maybe it doesn't, we just can't see it.
SPEAKER_00:It says 2020, 12, 11, 18. I don't see it here. I see it right here. 18th. Oh, yeah, yeah, right here. 1985 on it? Yeah, 1985. Yeah, I see it right here. Oh, okay, okay. I don't know. These are these that different years on it, so I don't know what that means. Um I guess each year was the 10 was bad. I don't know. But it also comes with a control dock. That's what it looked like. Oh, charging dock.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, charging dock, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I saw that too. It's not bad for it. You got$79, you get a control. This is what a Nintendo controller usually costs nowadays. Yeah, and plus you get a charging dock. So that's pretty good. That's worth it. It's worth it. I think it's a worth doing.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, this is big news because for those who know, when Nintendo came out in 1985, it was the video gaming industry was going through a crash with the fell Atari. Uh, and pretty much Nintendo saved the video gaming industry. That's why we call it the Godfather Gaming. They say the video game, yeah, they really did. And the crazy thing about it was that Atari was actually gonna acquire Nintendo. Imagine if that happened. What would the landscape be looking like nowadays? Thank God it didn't happen. But um, Nintendo saved it, and then we did video games and what it is today because of Nintendo's emerging North America.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, Sony could thank them, Xbox could thank them, everybody could think. Everybody could thank Nintendo. Nintendo saved it. It saved it. And the keyword is I forgot, I read an article where they didn't want to um uh advertise Nintendo as the video game system. That's why this when it came out, Nintendo Entertainment System. Yeah, and never say video game system. Yeah. So people didn't want to mess with video games and spent all that money due to the video game crash.
SPEAKER_01:Absolutely. Facts.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so yeah, it's giving you facts on game of traffic, y'all. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's what we do, people. You know what I'm saying? So, Mr. Basing, anything else about to say about this? No. I mean, let Mr. Mason, listen, I'm gonna throw it out quick. What's your top three Nintendo games? Ooh, Zelda. That you Zelda, the game. I'm not gonna be specific. You want me to be specific, Zelda? Yeah, I guess. Specific game, or just not gonna be.
SPEAKER_01:You'll play right now. I love, but my favorite Zelda is it's a hard one, but I'm gonna say Orklear Time. That's a game you will play right now. Yo, yeah, I love Orklear Time. That's one of my favorite Zelda games. Okay. Um next one would probably be Mario Brothers 3.
SPEAKER_00:Which is very popular, everybody.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, Mario Brothers 3. And even though this is not a Nintendo, you want Nintendo exclusive, right? Because this is not really a Nintendo.
SPEAKER_00:I think you're gonna see Street Fighter.
SPEAKER_01:No, I was gonna say I was just gonna say Digital, because I had good memories on the Digitals on the Nintendo Beyonce.
SPEAKER_00:Who else you play in the Nintendo's at the time? Let's keep 100.
SPEAKER_01:So I gave you two for three so far, and my brother. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. I said three, but armor mental. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_01:Uh, my third one, God man, I gotta think hard. Because now it's everywhere. Contra was dope at the time, but it's not a Nintendo exclusive.
SPEAKER_00:Um you can put Contra in it.
SPEAKER_01:So then it'll be Contra. Because they were the classic, what's the what's the code again? Up down, left, right, select, start, something like that. Up down, left, right, select start. Whatever it was. Most famous code. I haven't written a dictionary from like 1991 or something. The festival most famous video code of all time. It is. It is. What about you? What are your three classic Nintendo games? I think I know one of them already.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, you're gonna think the original? Okay, Nintendo Classic Games, I would say it was Ghost of Goblins. I knew it. That's what I was thinking about. Probably the top greatest video games of all time. Okay. Subjective. Super Mario Brothers 3 as well. Um games I was still playing now. I still play now. Popeye for the NES.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, cool.
SPEAKER_00:I still play it now. Um and Metroid.
SPEAKER_01:Metroid, yeah, Metroid's game.
SPEAKER_00:That's the first time I've seen a female in a video game. That's a few people. Prime of Prime female. When she took her helmet off, like, oh sh ew. It's a girl. So, so that was a big thing for a lot of people. He like I said, she was like the we'll say Laura Croft of that time period. Of course. Familiar for that time period.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_00:But um, yeah, those are my three, I'll put three. I'll put also Contract. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Video game code in the world.
SPEAKER_01:Three three very good games. And then my honorable mention would probably be Donkey Kong, because I have fun with Donkey Kong also.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so we did someone NES, but we're not, you know, so we're not gonna go further on to uh uh Super Nintendo stuff like that. When the anniversary comes, then we could do that. Absolutely. But Mr. Mason, let's go on, Mr. Amazon. What? Mr. Baze, as you know, Mortal Kombat has been delayed. The movie part two has been delayed to you know what day, Mr. Mason? May 5th. May 15, 2026. Yes. They try and make this this this according to insiders, they're saying they're doing it because business. Yeah. Business, man, and then they made more money.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's just it's just too delayed to come out in the summer, get the big summer Blackbuster hits, you know, summer usually where people tend to go out more and see movies. Which I you know, I actually rebuke that because I feel like in the sum, well, it is true, but some of the biggest movies ever came out have all come in the summer, but I feel like you can make more money in the winter season because people are not outside like that. So I just feel like like the Christmas bangers, though, though, though, don't sell very well. The big Christmas Star Wars over the years.
SPEAKER_00:Those are big franchises.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but then you also but even though in that movie, that means you thought wasn't gonna be good, the Santa movie, that did extreme numbers.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know, extreme numbers. It didn't very well, though. It did very well. No, it didn't, not it did well for a part two supposed to come out for.
SPEAKER_01:I'm just saying it uh you should gamble with the with uh because it's supposed to come out this month, actually. I think uh this week it would have been out this week, actually, if if it if it held this original day. I think it's supposed to come out October 25th or 24th, something like that.
SPEAKER_00:But uh not to cut you off, but I think it's a bad idea. To release next year? I think it should have come out now.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I agree. That's what I'm saying. I think it should come out. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00:What's the movie the must-see right now?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, nothing. That's what I'm saying. It should come out right now. It'll be killing it. Yeah, for a good slot. The first week of November? Yeah. That went great. And then now you're putting yourself in position to come out with Street Fighter. That's coming out. Another another fighting game. But Street Fighter's not coming out during that time period. No, it's not, but you know, same year. And then as I say, it's another same time period, Mr.
SPEAKER_00:Navy. But actually, when did Street Fight come out? I don't remember. I don't have to dig for Street Fighter. Oh, okay. Well, I'll look that up, but go ahead, man. I'll let you talk. Yeah, but my thing is that nothing's going on, Mr. Maison, now. I agree. Nothing's going on. You put that the first week of November, you catch that money. Mm-hmm. You're gonna make some money. Now you're going to summertime in May, a lot of blockbusters come out, and I forgot to look out and see what kind of competition they're facing in May. Yeah, I agree. I forgot to look that up. But you know, you don't want to go with that competition. You want to go where there's no competition. More cover is a brand.
SPEAKER_01:October. Sorry. She finds October. October 2026. So it's different. Big spacing.
SPEAKER_00:Like I said, big spacing. I didn't think it was about the same time period. But um, I think I just think it's not a good idea. Uh yeah, I mean, like I said, right now, what movies out right now? Do we have competition in? Nothing.
SPEAKER_01:Nothing, really, to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_00:A couple months ago. Uh Black Phone 2, but It's a different audience. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:This is a perfect time to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_00:And this is the first week of November.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I agree. You make that money. You'd have got all those Halloween, Halloween costumes coming out for Morton Comeback 2. Look at that. Perfect time it would have been now.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so like I said, I don't know the conversation they have out in May. They'll repeat, I guess, for the summer dollar.
SPEAKER_01:I guess we'll find out. Hopefully, this is a wise doing by the their team. But Mr. Mason.
SPEAKER_00:We look to Warner Brothers in New Line Cinema. Yeah, but Mr. Mason, let's talk about Street Fighter. Ooh. Mr. Mason is coming out, as you said, October of 2026. Mr. Mason, what did you think of the castle Street Fighter?
SPEAKER_01:I have to say there are a few that I do like. And a few that I thought are very questionable. My likes obviously is I like him because I loved him in the Netflix series. And it was Showtime I think.
SPEAKER_00:I know you're gonna say that. I think he's a good pick.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I think he was a wonderful. My man who's playing Ryu, which is Andrew Koiji, if I said correctly, he's a great actor. I saw him act. I saw, I see his body and his facial thing. He kind of a little slimmer, but he I think he gets away Ryu, and I think he's gonna be amazing, Ryu. Shout out to him.
SPEAKER_00:No one is he built like Ryu in the video.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, exactly. But I think he's gonna be a perfect Ryu from his acting, and I like Andrew Koji. He's a great actor. Perfect pick for me. My second perfect. You are go ahead. Okay. The next one I do like, actually, is I like the guy that's playing Zang Geef. He looks like him a little bit. I think his name is Oliver Richters. I think he looks like he looks like a Zangif. I don't know too much about this individual, but just the pictures I've seen of him, I he looks like a good Zangif. So he he he get he gets my pick as well. I do like Akuma played by Oliver, you know, you a big wrestling guy, Roman Reigns. Yeah, we're gonna be right. I like I like him as Akuma. I think he's pretty cool. Well he'd be on the makeup. Yeah, he's about the makeup. But yeah, but I think he does fit the Akuma bill. I like him for that. Cody Rodz as Guy. I do like I actually like that also, man. How about bison? Bison is tricky. That guy, the the the bison is very tricky. David Dasta Malacchi. I don't think so. He's a little bit tricky, but I see why they did it. Because Bison has that long face, but his frame is not bison. So I gotta see him in costume. But he he I I had a question mark next to him, name to his name, be honest with you. They got Cody Rose as Guy? I I'm okay with that one, actually. I think he can I think he can pull it. I think he probably could pull it off. I think he'll pull it. The one I thought was kind of very tricky too is Jason Mamua's Blanca. I don't know. I mean, obviously Blanca's a green character, but Jason Momo's a big tall dude. I mean Blanca's actually a very short guy. You know, he he's big, he he's he has that he crawls up, he's tall, he looks tall, but Blanca's a short, a short individual. So that was questionable to me. And I was not a fan of Ken, to be honest with you. Noah Centinho. I'm not I'm not a fan of fan of the way he looks, but we'll see how he does his transformational costume.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I agree with Zangee. He that guy fits him.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, the Zangief dude is good. I like him. Andrew Schwartz has been. I did not like him as such as Dan. Because Dan is a doofy. I'm sure Andrew Schwartz can't be doofy, but Andrew Schwartz is tall.
SPEAKER_00:I think he wants somebody who was more uh he wants to like committee, but also has some kind of like if Jackie Chan was younger. Yeah. But Dan is more like that white dude.
SPEAKER_01:So I don't know if you Jackie Chan could have pulled them off.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Which he is a white dude? He's like a white dude. He's like a white dude. I thought he was an Asian character. Nah, that was like a white dude, man. Yeah, but still, if he won't but Jackie Chan could play comedy well in a in uh we call Kamfu action setting. Yeah, well, I agree with that. If you got somebody not saying he was that, but you got somebody in that persona of Jackie Chan playing that role. Yeah, I know I agree. Okay, this one I didn't agree with. You know what I'm gonna say. No, I know 50 cents you can. 50%, don't.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you and uh I didn't agree with it for I saw I saw him make it that he posted on his page. I thought it was okay, but he would have been my first choice. My first choice, as I told you off air, was uh Jonathan Major. I thought he would have been a perfect uh plus his actor skills.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, Jonathan Major would have been perfect. It puts his actor skills. Let's keep it real. Like, like uh once Aries said, what's the difference, T for the saying that other movie Lockdown? The glasses. It's just true. He could play a thug easy, but you know, say, sorry, it's the glasses.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:I do like Chan Lee, though.
SPEAKER_01:She's a little skitty side, but I do kind of like her. I saw her. What Charlie? Charlie's very Charlie has big legs.
SPEAKER_00:That chick didn't be like, that's video games. Come on.
SPEAKER_01:Like I said, but almost every female character got big legs in that game. That's true. Everybody got big feet. That is true too. I do like that. Mel Johnson, I think it is for Charlie. I do like her for that, actually. I was okay with that. How about Cammy? Yeah, yeah, Mel Johnson. Johnson was. I think that was her name. I think I think she's alright. I looked I looked into her more pages. I saw, I was like, oh yeah, she can get away, Carrie. She's gotta have that blonde hair, that's it.
SPEAKER_00:But once they put that wig on her, she's gonna be fine. Yeah, got her hair, whatever they do.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. And a character that's not a fighter, but he's like the commentary guy played by Eric Andrew. He's playing um Don Silvana. Uh uh, yeah, Don Silvon. She's like the guy at the beginning of each fight that calls it out. He wears that hat. He actually looks like her. I was like, oh, that's a good pick. Eric Andrew's a good pick for that guy, actually.
SPEAKER_00:She was she was she she was in the Mortal Kap first movie? Ooh. The girl played Cami. She was in the Motor Card.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I didn't even know that. She's a traitor. They decided to call it back for part two? I guess not. I guess not. Well, we'll see though. And then we got we got um Dalsam. Dalsam played by Vid Gott Singh. I didn't see it, but obviously it's Dalsam, you gotta get into a lot of uh uh makeup and costume, so I can see the transformation with him. And I didn't think it's a bad pick.
SPEAKER_00:Who's playing Vega?
SPEAKER_01:I didn't see Vega's actually. Oh now I didn't see me. I should overlook that one.
SPEAKER_00:You can't even see his face in the picture.
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah, he covered it. So that's why I did see him. I did see him, but yeah. I did say but I didn't see him. So I don't know. So I guess that was a mystery to me as well. I mean, as long as I see some pre-looking dude, slender, he should be alright. Because Vega usually has a mass of his face anyway. So you'd be aye. Anybody gonna be Vega? As long as you slender, blonde hair, you're good.
SPEAKER_00:Alright. I mean, I don't I mean the question I want to ask you, will these movies suck? I didn't like the first Mortal Kombat movie.
SPEAKER_01:A lot of people didn't, actually.
SPEAKER_00:I didn't like it.
SPEAKER_01:A lot of people didn't like it. I I st I I saw I saw the bits of pieces, so I can't really comment on anybody.
SPEAKER_00:I was pumped for that movie.
SPEAKER_01:I think, honestly speaking, I think Mortal Kombat is gonna get it right because it's their second shot at it. I think I think they'll get it right before Street Fighter. And you know Street Fighter had, but I think they'll get it right for more. Unless Street Fighter's looking at them like, oh nah, we we saw the mistake they made, we're not gonna do it. Because the Street Fighter, you know, I mean both games have a lot of characters to feel.
SPEAKER_00:Um that makeup and that, yo, that makeup. I think Mortal Kombat's harder than makeup. The choreography would be on point with those people.
SPEAKER_01:I feel like Mortal Kombat's gonna be harder. Why are you saying that? I think it's more makeup necessary for Mortal Kombat, I feel. Street Fighter. I mean, outside of Blanca and Da, maybe Dow's like the they're it's more Mortal Kombat, I think. How about Kuma? Kuma's Kuma's not that hard.
SPEAKER_00:You just get the hair and then you just put beads on them, and that's really it. I don't know. I wouldn't I wouldn't put Kuma in the first one. I would put him in the second one. I mean, guess. Actually, I would I would I don't know. He probably put all these characters. I think he's just putting them in the second one. Unless you're gonna put an early version on that he's a teacher. Did he teach?
SPEAKER_01:Did he teach he goes he goes back to Ryan Ken's student? Well, he wasn't no, he was just uh Ryan's Kent's teacher student. Yeah, well, the Ryan Ken's master was the master case for my guy.
SPEAKER_00:He's a student of him. I believe so, yeah. So I don't think they should have put him in the first movie.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well, we'll see. It is a little bit complicated.
SPEAKER_00:It would be better for Street Fighter the part two for him being that.
SPEAKER_01:This is true, but there's a lot of the characters I thought that should honestly. If I'm doing a Street Fighter movie, I would have kept it pretty simple. I would have kept it to like the basics, like Ryu can sag it, you know, the basics, Blanca and Chun Lee. DJ King and no love? Hey, man. They didn't fly to Jamaica yet.
SPEAKER_00:Yo.
SPEAKER_01:So I don't know. We'll see, man. So put it up. Who's doing better? Say it right now, 2025, why not? Michael, who you think have the better numbers? Both of them suck. Both of them, but who wish we have the better numbers?
SPEAKER_00:I think Mortal Kombat would be better. I agree with you, because I think it's Mortal Kombat's second shot at it. So I think Mortal Kombat's gonna be better also. I don't think both are gonna suck. I'll just be in an outlandish one statement, but I think Mortal Kombat is gonna be better. I think so too, actually.
SPEAKER_01:Second shot. So I think they can they figured it out.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, the like uh Street Fighter, I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:Well, we can both agree that they're gonna be they're gonna do better than the 90s council port. I would hope so. With Van Damp and so on. We could we can at least hope hope it's better than that.
SPEAKER_00:Please hope. But may I ask another question, Mr. Amazon? Yeah. Before we get off this topic, what video game fighting game think you can make a movie out of next?
SPEAKER_01:What video game fighting game they should make a movie out of? Great question. I have two. Uh I have two. A video game see I don't I don't know if you'll consider this one. It's Smash Brothers? What? No, no, not Smash Brothers. I don't think it's considered a fight. It's a fighting game, but it's not like a it's more of an action fighting game. So I don't know. What game is this? I was gonna say Streets of Rage, but I don't think I don't think that would count as that's not a fighting game. That's all I'm saying. You might not consider that. So then you know I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with Soul Caliber because I want a little bit of history. Yeah, I start though. I put I think you'll think I put Soul Calibur.
SPEAKER_00:I think that's a I think that's actually easier, one of the easier ones to consider. And I think I think you get more history to it. Yeah, I think you can do it. I mean, they're not as popular. I know. They're not, but I think So Cabu would be mine, my pick. I think Soul P. I also picked Tekken. Tekken would be interesting too.
SPEAKER_01:Tekken would be interesting. I think Soul Cabu is my pick.
SPEAKER_00:Those are the two I picked.
SPEAKER_01:I thought about uh you just see a bunch of girls bouncing up and down.
SPEAKER_00:Uh yeah, I I do have it on DVD. Of course you would. Yeah, I do have the DVD. I had a crusher though, though, a little Asian girl who played it um fast and free. I had a little crusher in her. You know, say she's cute. I like a lobby, Lopia Crusher. But is she a K-pop in the uh Netflix movie?
SPEAKER_01:I know source, I wouldn't even know.
SPEAKER_00:Space Line. Yeah, he's probably sure. You don't want to say anything. All right. But all right, Mr. Mason. Let's go to our trailer of the week, Mr. Mason. Our trailer of the week is play date. Okay. Let's go check it out, Mr. Mason. You can tell people's story in it after play the trailer. All right. Let's do this.
SPEAKER_02:I love that you're trying so hard to connect with him. Just trying to throw a spiral. This is gonna stop. It's just different already.
SPEAKER_01:So did I. Alright, guys, take it.
SPEAKER_02:Just not my dad.
SPEAKER_01:I think I want to kill you too.
SPEAKER_02:Let me do my thing.
SPEAKER_00:Crazy crazy.
SPEAKER_01:Even though this moments, due to my deep-seated emotional issues, I've usually slept with thousands and thousands of women.
SPEAKER_00:How many women have you slept with, Dad?
SPEAKER_01:That's not your business. That's none of your business.
SPEAKER_00:Mr. Mason played date, Mr. Brains, starring Kevin Jane and Alan Richardson. Alan Richards is the actor and reacher in prime. And you know Kevin Jane, famous for the last mall cop, uh, several other movies, comedy shows, so um good friends with your homeboy. Cappy Gilmore. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Mr. Basing. Adam Saddler. Adam Saddler. I saw the trailer. Do you green light it? I first uh but then I like it.
SPEAKER_01:It's different. You and you are.
SPEAKER_00:It's similar to it.
SPEAKER_01:It kind of has that um the what you say, real fair Marquis movies. But it takes a little bit more of a twist, though. You know, he's kind of like the white pretend this kid kind of like what's that? What's that Eddie Burfrey movie? Golden Child, whatever it's called, yo. Golden Child. Kind of like that. Kind of reminds me of that, to be honest with you. But um, and uh, I like it. It's different. It's something it's coming, what's coming? I need to release it.
SPEAKER_00:November 12th or Amazon Prime. Oh, it's coming out soon.
SPEAKER_01:It's a series or it's a movie. It's a movie. It's a movie. Okay. I I agree light it. I think I think it's a it's a it's uh good to go to see something different, you know.
SPEAKER_00:I want more green light because it's going on Prime. Yeah. If it's in the movie theater, I'll be like, no. I'll rather.
unknown:I I still agree.
SPEAKER_00:I I found it kind of funny, actually. I thought it was funny. It's a movie like, yo, it's raining outside, nothing to do. I want some stupid fun. Yeah, I mean, I can see that. Stupid fun, that's why I look at it. I like stupid fun, though, so I'm okay. I like stupid fun. Like I said, I I watched um I Know You Did Last Summer, the reboot event. Which was was not that good. It was stupid, not the fun. It was not it was stupid and not fun. Here we go. So, and you know, Miss Mason, I'm a big, you know, um film critic. So Mike Mike don't like anything. Alright, so Mr. Mason, you green lighted. Mm-hmm. I give the yellow light.
SPEAKER_01:Yellow? Fair enough, boy. We still gave it uh go ahead.
SPEAKER_00:Go ahead and see it. Go see it for both for both parties. It was a movie, if it was a movie, I would have said no. Red light, don't bother.
SPEAKER_01:What's Amazon Pronce? If you got Amazon, you're good. Yeah, so except today when they went down.
SPEAKER_00:November 12th. Check it out. If you're not me. But uh I should be kept up, Mr. Maze. Is Game Pass hype, Mr. Maze?
SPEAKER_01:Damn, sadly. Mr. Maze, what do you think about that? It's funny because I saw Tamon got game about this because she got the tier. That's the one that's really intriguing to it. So she has a$30 tier? Well, it's gonna be$30 tier. That's the tier that she has right now. So the she said she's gonna drop it. So let me let's click let her know. So Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which originally was$19.99, is hiking up to$29.99. That's a$10 jump or 50% jump, how are you gonna look at it?
SPEAKER_00:What did Mike Sampson say? It's gonna go up, Mr. Mason. I would not be surprised when the next Xbox comes out. This is not$35,$40.
SPEAKER_01:That's a that's that's a hard sell, but it's a possibility. So you know, because you're rising at 50% or$10 more, what are you giving me now? Yes, you get more. You get 400 new titles, which is cool. You get a bit, you know, bigger library, obviously, including PC games, which is cool. You have unlimited cloud gaming, you have 75 day one releases now with this tier. So which is pretty cool as well. Pretty much. So my thing was can you get a one-year pass? And I was told no, not at the moment.
SPEAKER_00:No, it's$360,$350,$320 for what would be a one year?
SPEAKER_01:It was$30 a month, so that's about right, actually. About$360.$360, that's a lot of money. Yeah, it is a lot of money. I mean, some people I look like But it'll probably be cheaper because you know, the 12th line is how they get you. So I would say it would be a little cheaper, actually. It'll probably be like$300 flat, probably for the only thing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, if they did it.
SPEAKER_01:Because you have to give people a discount for ping up front. So it would be they always do. They always give if you think of it, they always do. So it would probably be like about three,$320 to$300.
SPEAKER_00:$300 to$320, it'll probably be probably a$10 discount, but I know it's talking about$30,$20.
SPEAKER_01:I think they would because you're paying that's a lot of money dish for a year membership of anything.
SPEAKER_00:But yo, these were Microsoft. Didn't they raise the price of the system? A constant not selling? Twice. Twice. Twice a tariff tariff.
SPEAKER_01:With any of it, do you think that's a good thing? But the crime was tariff, though. But we all know it's more than just a tariff.
SPEAKER_00:More than a tariff. No way buying the damn system.
SPEAKER_01:But that's one of them. That's that's their fault.
SPEAKER_00:You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01:I mean, yeah, it's a I do care because this leads to others doing the same. So I do care a lot, actually.
SPEAKER_00:I I care. I have a lower tier. I have a lower tier. And like I said, I buy my most of my games I buy. I'm I buy the games. I understand why people like the service, but let's keep honest. I have a bunch of games for different systems, different uh different uh eras. But my thing is like, for me, it wouldn't work for me. Yeah, I hear you. It didn't work for me. And uh let's keep it real, the advocate summer, are you we playing all those games? Not really. It's like Netflix. Oh, we watching all the TV shows and movies. Not at all. You know what I'm saying? So if it works for you, good for you. Absolutely. But the thing is, if you had to cancel Netflix or Game Pass, what would you do? It does add up. If you have Netflix, let's say you have the top 10. 30 bucks. 30 bucks.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know what is it, 30 bucks? I have it too.
SPEAKER_00:You have it too. I think it's 25, 27. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_01:I feel like I pay$30, man. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Then you got Hulu. If you pay Hulu monthly, I pay, I pay the year. I pay one, I pay$140.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So let's say let's say now Hulu is Disney are now together. Yep. So$14. I would say I think it's$14,$16 a month.
SPEAKER_01:It all adds up. You get your Apple, you have an Apple membership, a Spotify membership, an HBO Max membership. After a while, you're like, yo, I gotta cut back to the way.
SPEAKER_00:Let's put it like this. We're all been hoodwink. This is another version of cable. Yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_01:Who needs cable when you get your stream, your favorite channels?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah. I might as well just have cable. It's just so much like you're having cable.
SPEAKER_01:That's exactly what it is, be honest with you.
SPEAKER_00:But also, uh, before we go, we go off topic, this is the rise of Tubi. Yo, Tubi's actually from an original TV show. Um movie uh for Halloween. Oh, that's cool. I forgot damn. It's a very proper um series. Uh shoot. Goosebumps.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, really? The book. I think it's a movie car.
SPEAKER_00:It looks good.
SPEAKER_01:I see we don't screw all the time.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so I mean, Game Pass, I mean, yeah, I think we should care. That's a lot of money, PS.
SPEAKER_01:Of course, because it yeah, and it and it and others follow. You know, it's a copycat industry.
SPEAKER_00:And then I think it's like, I think we get the middle tier, you're fine. I think you get in the middle tier. I think you're fine. You know what I'm saying? But the problem is the weight you have to wait longer for the games to come again. So that's what Xbox tells you. Day one. Day one is only for what tier, Mr. Mason. Ultimate pass, baby. Uh, you are you're middle, the middle middle, like being the middle class, you don't get that. You get a switch. Yeah, get screwed. My thing is I'll just buy the games I really want, and then the extra, I'll just get it. I agree. The games you like so so on. It's coming on Xbox. You come on Xbox Game Pass, yeah, go get it.
