Mike RoseHOST
Yeah.
Rami IsmailHOST
So you would have, like, Tetris, Mario Bros., Ice Climbers.
Mike RoseHOST
Mm.
Rami IsmailHOST
Tecmo Super World Cup.
Asif KhanHOST
It wasn't a 3D Mario game.
Asif KhanHOST
It wasn't the long-awaited Ice Climbers sequel.
Donovan ErskinePANELIST
[laughs] Long-awaited
Asif KhanHOST
It wasn't Wrecking Crew 2.
John CumminsHOST
I mean,
Shannon EnoHOST
how much more can you say about Ice Climbers that's not going to fit in one page?
John CumminsHOST
I mean, his Urban Champion one was like a page and three quarters, I guess.
Shannon EnoHOST
That's true.
AlexHOST
I know this is considered a god-awful game, but just, I see the landscape of gaming, and this is just one of those where Nintendo would be weird enough to try this.
AlexHOST
My single wild shot in the dark that I've had in my brain cooking for months is Ice Climbers coming back, but Ice Climbers coming back as a co-op game.
AlexHOST
'Cause co-op games have really retaken the, the, the world, you know? With more and more coming out, more people making co-op games.
AlexHOST
Shout out to Hazelight for really driving that force, and more coming around it.
AlexHOST
Orbitals being a Switch 2 exclusive.
AlexHOST
This is a 0.01% chance of happening, but I'm throwing it out there in case I'm right.
AlexHOST
Ice Climbers co-op game.
AlexHOST
It makes sense for the style of the characters, the two, the two siblings.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
I think it would be very smart.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
If you went to hazelight, the company that does, it takes two and split fiction and you do ice climbers.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
And you do Ice Climbers, you do Popo and Nana, and you have side-by-side, and it's climbing up a mountain together, and it's goofy and cartoony and funny, and you have Hazelight do it.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
Hazelight developed Ice Climber game exclusive for Switch 2.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
Because look, you got FromSoft, right, making exclusive games for Switch 2.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
Why not? Do Hazelight exclusive game for Switch 2.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
Hire them to bring back Ice Climbers.
Roger DiLuigiHOST
There you go.
John CumminsHOST
So I got to experience a lot of games, but there was a... [laughs] I mean, being the NES, there was a lot of times where you'd turn a game on and play for five minutes and be like, "Ah, this is really hard.
John CumminsHOST
I'm gonna play something else." So you'd cycle through all these games, but definitely played Ice Climber.
John CumminsHOST
Um, the one that I don't...
John CumminsHOST
I don't think I ever played Urban Champion before this challenge.
10 MINS LATER
John CumminsHOST
Um, so maybe this was one of those games in Japan.
John CumminsHOST
I, I'm not 100% sure.
John CumminsHOST
Um, and then last but not least, we have Ice Climber.
John CumminsHOST
Uh, this released on the NES in Japan on January 30th, 1985, and then North America, October 18th, 1985.
JordanHOST
Oh, yeah.
JordanHOST
It would be like Ice Climbers.
JordanHOST
The two main characters in that.
JordanHOST
Is there only
7 MINS LATER
JordanHOST
That's very early.
JordanHOST
Yeah, and the first mistake.
ZachHOST
very early mistake and Sakurai's had to sit in his shit like everyone is here you know when Sakurai was looking at ice climbers at Dr. Mario and he was like everyone is here he wanted that for Snake and he's like I gotta bring back Dr. Mario that's literally
PeterHOST
how I intro'd my Dr. Mario video saying that they just basically had to sit in their shit imagine having to deal with a mistake you made 20 years ago and then make it interesting that sucks he
TommyHOST
One of the key points I wanted to point out was that you kind of control Mickey, and Minnie follows you.
TommyHOST
It reminded me of Ice Climbers.
TommyHOST
I've only played them on GameCube, but she does the exact same thing, but it's like a second delay, like she's following.
DanielHOST
Right.
AnthonyHOST
Yeah.
Gail TildenGUEST
My favorite game was Ice Climber.
Gail TildenGUEST
I'm really big on that polar bear with the sunglasses.
Gail TildenGUEST
Of the arcade games, I probably like Golf the best.
Jeremy ParishHOST
Yeah.
Jeremy ParishHOST
That's why, that's why you have the cool, uh, all-in-one systems, the Twin Famicom, and I think also why, like, Ice Climber was on the Sharp Zaurus PDA.
Jeremy ParishHOST
Golf.
Jeremy ParishHOST
It was...
