Chris JohnstonHOST
you remember when $500 for the Switch 2 seemed expensive and all the people in the Twitch chat on some Nintendo Direct was like, drop the price?
Greg SewartHOST
Yeah.
Chris JohnstonHOST
It seems so
Tom TateHOST
We have boxing returning for the first time since the original Wii Sports.
Tom TateHOST
The one new game that I saw in the Nintendo Direct that was pretty entertaining was Thumb Wrestling.
Tom TateHOST
There's a new category of games called Leisure Sports, which includes a prop plane, which reminds me a little bit of Pilotwings, power cruising, which is basically jet skis, kind of harkens back to Wave Race, and then skateboarding.
Tom TateHOST
Skateboarding is cool because it uses the Joy-Con 2 mouse mode.
FalconHOST
He leaked when the Switch 2, he leaked that.
FalconHOST
He leaked when they were doing the Nintendo Direct.
FalconHOST
He leaked a bunch of stuff that was very specific and all correct.
FalconHOST
Yeah.
Matt MasonPANELIST
We just got that Torneco mystery dungeon game.
Matt MasonPANELIST
Shadow dropped at the last Nintendo Direct.
Matt MasonPANELIST
And that was the very first mystery dungeon ever.
Matt MasonPANELIST
But Dragon Quest did four of them.
John BlancoHOST
Number 2 on my list is one of the oddities here.
John BlancoHOST
This was not a game that I was really hyped up for, but I had seen on a Nintendo Direct, an Indie Direct maybe.
John BlancoHOST
And I was going on a road trip and I decided I want something brand new to play.
John BlancoHOST
And I bought Backpack Hero.
AlastairHOST
But, I mean, it would be nice to see a trailer.
AlastairHOST
We are all just surprised we didn't get one at the Nintendo Direct.
AlastairHOST
It was hyped by Miyamoto at the beginning, and then we got the name.
AlastairHOST
It was just the weirdest thing ever.
Brendon BigleyHOST
... foundation and, and gave everybody the wrong first impression.
Brendon BigleyHOST
'Cause even, even over the course of that Nintendo Direct, going from that moment to the sizzle they had at the end where they showed a lot of, like, adult Link doing adult Link stuff around Hyrule, I was like, "Oh, wait, this looks awesome." Like, why did, why did I just watch Aonuma run around in Kokiri Forest for 20 minutes when you could've been showing me this the whole time? And then that new trailer I felt very similarly, was like, "Yeah, this looks sick." Like, this looks like exactly what I would want out of this.
Brendon BigleyHOST
So I dunno.
Brendon BigleyHOST
I, I really think it was just, like, a weird, a weird decision with that Nintendo Direct-
Stephen HilgerHOST
[laughs]
Brendon BigleyHOST
... which will, like, only affect people like you and I who watch Nintendo Directs, you know what I mean?
Stephen HilgerHOST
[laughs] Right, yeah.
Brendon BigleyHOST
Like, which is, like, in the grand scheme of things, even in the grand scheme of, like, Nintendo's own audience, like, it is not the majority of people watching [laughs] Nintendo Directs.
Andy SpiteriHOST
So at the time of this recording, that remake has not been announced.
Andy SpiteriHOST
Rumors are flying that there is going to be a Nintendo Direct next week.
Andy SpiteriHOST
We'll see.
Andy SpiteriHOST
We'll see if there's anything that comes out.
TristanHOST
look? I love Link's new look.
TristanHOST
I like the child Link look, which is what we've seen the most of on the Nintendo Direct.
TristanHOST
And what I've seen of the adult Link looks, once again, kind of how I've always wanted to see him a little bit.
TristanHOST
Even what I've seen of the shield looks fantastic, all the details in the shield.
Brian SheaGUEST
We'll, we'll get into my journey with Ocarina of Time and subsequently Breath of the Wild.
RogerHOST
[laughs] Uh, but I, you know, one thing that, that I haven't covered yet is the Nintendo Direct, and I wanna just touch base on the Nintendo Direct before we get into the first Nintendo Direct, which was the remake of Ocarina of Time.
RogerHOST
But the second one, I guess, what were some of your favorite takeaways or announcements from that Nintendo Direct we had a few weeks ago?
Brian SheaGUEST
I mean, the, the two obvious ones are Metroid Ravenous and Kirby and the World Beyond.
Brian SheaGUEST
