7:01 PM@eathdemonit is lol
7:02 PM@eathdemonyes, yes I will be getting that oot remake, the analog camera controls alone worth it
7:07 PM@SheekagoHey Andrew et all
7:07 PM@addictedtochaos2Hello
7:10 PM@SheekagoYou missed buying the Switch 2 before the price hike. What's got you considering it now?
7:13 PM@SheekagoLOL yep, that'll earn his trust.
7:15 PM@SheekagoA detective with a heart.
7:17 PM@SheekagoAre some of the villains just people wearing a ghost sheet?
7:20 PM@SheekagoYou didn't get hooked by 1-2 Switch!?!
7:21 PM@eathdemonI did not buy a wii or wiiu I bought both switch/switch 2 lol
7:21 PM@addictedtochaos2Switch 2 released on June 5, 2025
7:22 PM@SheekagoI didn't buy Switch 2 until this year. DK Bananza is fun, but I haven't played it much since I bought it. I've been playing Switch games that run better on Switch 2.
7:23 PM@SheekagoI did also just get the new Fire Emblem
7:24 PM@jaredknisely6213if you are dragging it out, we already know the answer buddy
7:24 PM@SheekagoPlease don't make it be a cliffhanger and you reveal on your next podcast if you got the new Switch 2. Same Andrew time, same Andrew channel...
7:24 PM@eathdemonim sorry im too much of a ppokemon mark
7:25 PM@eathdemonso I brought it last dec
7:25 PM@SheekagoSplatoon Raiders looks like they just took Salmon Run from Splatoon and made it it's own game. No thank you.
7:25 PM@eathdemonnope oot is prity much one to one for your taste
7:26 PM@SheekagoWelcome Tour I think?
7:27 PM@addictedtochaos2I haven’t played anything in almost a year, just haven’t had the time.
7:29 PM@eathdemonin my case it is b/c I have a gamming pc lol
7:30 PM@SheekagoThe new Joy Cons are better... but I still use my Switch Pro controller instead.
7:30 PM@SheekagoThey still feel too small and uncomfortable.
7:30 PM@LeeShowronsHey
7:31 PM@SheekagoMario Galaxy 3?
7:31 PM@LeeShowronsyeah, and I wish they could just stick with one console so I don’t have to keep buying new ones.
7:32 PM@SheekagoCan you see the sweat glimmering on the avatar in Fitness Boxing Switch 2 Edition?
7:32 PM@LeeShowronsI doubt we’re gonna get a Mario galaxy three. I would want a Mario Odyssey 2
7:33 PM@SheekagoYeah, I want to replay Link's Awakening on Switch 2 eventually.
7:33 PM@addictedtochaos2Plus now you have Metroid Ravenous to look forward to.
7:34 PM@LeeShowronswell, for me, the direct was disappointing
7:34 PM@Sheekago@addictedtochaos2 Metroid Ravenous definitely on my wishlist
7:34 PM@eathdemonoot remake largly what I wanted which was oot modern controls.
7:35 PM@eathdemonall I ever wanted was analog comera controls, and I got that lol
7:35 PM@SheekagoI hope they added a few new things to OoT Remake. 1:1 remake would be boring, to me.
7:35 PM@eathdemonyp its a good dinasor planet lol
7:36 PM@SheekagoHumming the tunes to activate the ocarina is not enough to make it feel fresh to me
7:36 PM@LeeShowronsit’s not that many switch 2 first party exclusive yet
7:38 PM@LeeShowronsA lot of people are most likely going to switch over to the switch if Sony keeps with digital only
7:38 PM@eathdemonI think dongons are guna be prity simaler to the og
7:40 PM@eathdemonit will be a bit the 3d mario team was the one that made donkey kong bananxa
7:45 PM@SheekagoI always tried to match the tempo of the song. I like the idea of immersion, but add more things to make it feel fresh.
7:45 PM@eathdemonhate to be the barrer of bad news, most cartages are just key cards
7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2Most third party games from the big publishers are key cards, oddly enough smaller publishers are more often complete on cart.
7:46 PM@LeeShowronswell, game key cards are still shareable and physical
7:46 PM@Sheekago@eathdemon Not all cartridges are Key cards. Nintendo is having all their games (except Pokopia) full on cart. Capcom though, all their games feel like key carts.
7:48 PM@eathdemonI think link looking like a doll is a bit weird, but otherwise im ok with it
7:48 PM@SheekagoHe's sweating from all the pressure of saving Hyrule.
7:49 PM@SheekagoMaybe Hyrule is in England? So much fog, rain and just bleak looking.
7:50 PM@SheekagoYES. They went overboard with all the detail they added to Link.
7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2I forget what it is called, but they appear to be based on a type of puppet.
7:51 PM@SheekagoI'm surprised they didn't add pimples to Link, 5 o'clock shadow to adult Link. Maybe pit stains on his clothes.
7:52 PM@humanoidcorn4476[message retracted]
7:52 PM@eathdemoneven if thats true they messed up kinda b/c he is hyrulen, not from the farost lol
7:53 PM@SheekagoLink is dead inside from not having a fairy so long/
7:54 PM@SheekagoThe redead, the ones that lock you in place with the screams
7:56 PM@eathdemonnot intreasted in kirby :)
7:57 PM@SheekagoKirby definitely looked interesting. It reminded me of that Jim Carrey movie, The Truman Show
7:59 PM@SheekagoYou have to give thumb wresting in Switch Sports Re... ah who man I kidding. It looked boring as hell.
8:00 PM@SheekagoLOL
8:00 PM@SheekagoI KNEW IT
8:01 PM@SheekagoI was on the fence too, but I'm a Nintendo Fan. I couldn't resist.
8:02 PM@addictedtochaos2Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter just came out on Switch 2, complete on cart.
8:02 PM@addictedtochaos2Donkey Kong will eventually go on sale.
8:03 PM@SheekagoThe Switch Nintendo games are on sale 30% off in their Customer Appreciation sale. Switch 2 games are not. They don't appreciate us THAT much.
8:04 PM@SheekagoMario Wonder, Kirby and the Forgotten World have $20 upgrades. I don't know about Pikmin 4.
8:05 PM@SheekagoOnimusha IS on Switch 2
8:07 PM@addictedtochaos2They are $20 because they came with extra content as well.
8:08 PM@addictedtochaos2Jean Reno
8:09 PM@jaredknisely6213so shilling out 500 for the zelda version
8:09 PM@jaredknisely6213was not in the plans
8:10 PM@SheekagoI didn't think Mario Wonder's extra content was good enough for the $20. Kirby, maybe worth it, but I haven't gotten it.
8:11 PM@eathdemonuse that window ac :)
8:12 PM@SheekagoI had Amazon gift cards and only paid $30 out of pocket for Switch 2.
