Bob you might be interested in playing mario maker with mouse, and remember that one game which had a beta test by nintendo with 10k people maybe that one uses it
helldivers 2 is getting regularly 20-50k players all the time with a recent 150k peak with the new update I'm guessing. It has not even remotely fallen off.
Ring Fit also uses the IR sensor, it's not just the rails, but in fact I don't see why we can't use the older joycon, unless the IR sensor thing is not implemented at all on Switch 2.
Also shoutout NTV News lmao that's my news station in Newfoundland.. would have never thought that would be mentioned in a blog that Wulff Den would talk about lol
People have been allowing developers to get away with releasing unfinished/broken games for over a decade now. They make the consumer have to be able to afford internet and console storage expansion to make up for the developer's failures with huge update patches, which has cut out a decent amount of less privileged people from being able to partake in the hobby. So what reason would they avoid starting to sell games for $100 bucks?

The Switch 2 Joy Con does have an IR Sensor The trailer shows a window on the bottom of the Right one, watch at half speed and pause at 0:56 Why have a window there if not for the IR?
If you enjoy spy hunter you will also enjoy “guerilla war” an amazing nes port of a great arcade game. Also you can actually beat it because select is your “insert coin” button. So basically you have infinite coins. And it’s a simultaneous multiplayer so you and a buddy can plow your way through army’s of guys with a plethora of weapons and an occasional tank on each map.
As for my 2nd comment id like to propose my ideas for MK9 (or 10 for those wackjobs who consider Tour to be 9) If we have 24 racers (which seems to be the case) then id love to see a Double Dash mode & also a Double Dash mode within the Vs Teams which would give you 12 teams of 2 You could also have a Double Dash mode within the team battle modes & have 24 karts but 48 characters as each 24 karts would have 2 players Id also like to see most if not all battle maps to be included as well but mainly just Big Donut, Block Fort, Skyscraper, Luigi's Mansion & Urchin Underpass (also every battle mode + a Splatoon mode where u ink either green or red by throwing ur colored shells or drifting/hitting other players & whoever has inked the most of their color wins) Id also bring back Boss Battles & include other types of challenges as well which both will reward you with extra coins (read the rest to find out what coins would be used for) However for the main tracks id love to see return are every N64 track, Delfino Square, Coconut Mall, DK Summit, Peach Gardens, Baby Park, Dino Dino Jungle, Daisy's Cruiser, Mushroom City, Wario Colosseum, Mushroom Bridge, Waluigi Pinball (MK7 version), Luigi's Mansion (MK7), Maka Wuhu, Neo Bowser City, Wuhu Loop, Electrodome, Excitebike Arena, Mount Wario, Mute City, Ribbon Road, Super Bell Subway, Toad Harbour, Yoshi's Island & Water Park As for Characters id like every Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Character to return however remove Pink Gold Peach & make Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Dry Bowser & Peachette costume only racers with zero stat changes then id include the following Professor E Gadd, King Bob-Omb, Sprixies, Nabbit, Dixie Kong, Pinata, Spike, Toadsworth, Mouser, Noki & ll Piantissimo Id also include alot of costumes that can be purchased via the coins you get in each race, boss mode & challenges.. however you can lose some of the coins you gathered in races from being hit but each lap will save the current amount of coins you have so if you get hit it will only take away some of the coins you earned that lap & each item will take away a different amount of coins ranging from 1-10coins As for the Karts id include all Karts in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe & Double Dash, Booster Seat, Bumble V, Cheap Charger, Dragonfly, Drill Master, Dry Bomber, Dyno Buggy, Fastball, Flame Flyer, Hamburcar, Poltergust 4000, Road Jetter, Tiny Tug, Zipper Then id include every glider from MK7 & MK8D & call it a day (obviously new regular & battle mode tracks, Karts, Gliders & Wheels would be a thing as well)
Imagine you're in a country other than the US and you find oit that your favorite app, from which yoi consume hours of content a day, is run by the CIA. Thats what we have here with TikTok and the Chinese
First - the sneaky fart made me laugh hard. Second- I hope the switch 2 has a new mario paint packed in to show off the joycon mice! Also Mario Maker 3 will be amazing with a mouse.
i paid like 600 for my switch the year it came out because it was one of those ridiculous gamestop bundle. what are the chances they do something like that again?
We need a section every week where Will tells us who sucks. I swear, the Elon Musk section was my favorite part of a podcast I've listened to in a long while 🤣🤣
Am I the only one who at some point carried the switch by one joy con which was fine with the rails but if you tried with the magnets they probably won’t be strong enough to support the entire weight of the unit by one joy con/cradling part of the unit with your fingers like you would your phone depending on how you hold your phone.
Just... Don't carry it like that? Also I'm fairly certain these magnets are going to be strong enough to stay connected. I think I heard that third "trigger" is the magnet release. So just avoid that and you will most likely be able to carry it however you want.
@ We’re just discussing potential weak points and I saw a funny comic that made me think of it. Not really a serious concern I don’t think for most adults but these are children’s devices, especially if you look at the first Switch.
I don’t understand game companies wanting to charge even more for video games as mentioned in that article, there are already multiple price points for every game now with all the different special editions. Most of the time you’re only getting digital rewards anyway so it’s not like it’s costing the developer more to make these special editions cause I can assure you they already took into account making that extra content into their over inflated budgets.
I don't think not having a Oled screen matters so much. I would like it to have it, but i play mostly docked. I would just down the line buy the Oled switch 2 just to have the better screen like i did before. Justifies me buying another so i can mod the other.
Everybody is losing it over the Nintendo Switch 2 not having an OLED screen. Modern LCD screens can be very nice. Just look at the Legion Go. It's one of the best looking screens I have laid eyes on and certainly the best I own. I do appreciate OLED, but it's not everything.
What are your thoughts on the game, Replaced. It’s like a 2D 3D pixel art platform game with blade runner vibe & atmosphere. It’s my most anticipated game
I would like to know & im not sure if anyone would have the answer other then Nintendo themself however I want to know how much profit did Nintendo make off of the Nintendo Switch & how much profit has Nintendo made with all 3 SKUs combined & id like to know how much profit they made off of Animal Crossing, Smash Bros Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Zelda Breath of the Wild & Mario Odyssey (all in the top 5 best selling Switch games) Because id like to know why they wouldnt sell the Switch 2 at a small loss considering the Switch is top 3 best selling console of all time & alot of peoples favorite console of all time wouldnt that help sell the Switch 2 at a much faster rate thus making it profitable quicker potentially? Especially knowing that at the very least 90-98% of the Switch 1 titles will work without any issues on the Switch 2
I don't get the issue between the switch being too much the same, from gameboy to the color still kept being a Gameboy with a upgrade, or the DS to DSi, this is the same strategy they've been using since forever. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
That’s not how tariffs work though. The price is set as the price. So if there is a $60 game it stays at $60 but you have to pay the Tariff. Or rather the importer and then they pass that along to you.
i hate so much the argument of "tik tok should be banned bc it rots your brain" especially when said argument is on UA-cam, twitch, any social media; its hypocritical and a stupid af who care where you consume content when its all mind numbing
Not sure why so many people are obsessed with going after Elon over a video game and going out of their way to call him names. Sure, it's kinda lame if he lied about his skill level. But it's even lamer for all these people to allow it to compromise their emotional stability.
Removed Cuba context because I was mainly commenting about TikTok. The reason the US Gov wants TikTok shut down is because everyday people can see and speak about the horrible shit going on in Gaza and in people’s everyday lives. You see the signs of the same thing with the reaction to Luigi, both sides actually agree and are on the cusp of class consciousness.
@@MossyRiverRockright. That’s why half of the island escaped to Guatemala to travel all through South America to cross the Mexico US border. That’s why my friends who are left back home are starving and have nothing ahead that promises a better life. Btw , none of it has to do with the “embargo”. I put it in quotation bc all of the products that are sold in the government stores have the “made in USA” signs on them.
I assume it's just because of the inauguration but I'd say you'll hear something political again if something funny happens or something crazy gets banned or allowed, a war happens, a protest against the government happens or Trump actually goes forward with pursuing Canada as the 51st state (god I swear if that last one happens as a Canadian myself I'm going to lose my mind 😅)
Or the economy crashes and people have to cut back on hobby spending because of tariffs and deportations of labor that cause all kinds of industries to crumble. You know important life shit not just for the people getting deported either.
The red and blue default JoyCon make even more sense now since they're like the 2 ends of a magnet!
Bob you might be interested in playing mario maker with mouse, and remember that one game which had a beta test by nintendo with 10k people maybe that one uses it
As a sonic fan, the first 6 minutes made me happy.
helldivers 2 is getting regularly 20-50k players all the time with a recent 150k peak with the new update I'm guessing. It has not even remotely fallen off.
Ring Fit also uses the IR sensor, it's not just the rails, but in fact I don't see why we can't use the older joycon, unless the IR sensor thing is not implemented at all on Switch 2.
That's the implication. Looking at the trailer, there is no obvious IR sensor.
@@adventurousash Look closer, if you pause the trailer at 56 seconds you'll see the window for the IR sensor, same as on the Switch 1 Joy Con
New test for Bob - see how easily he can break the Switch 2 rails.
Oh and I reluctantly accept Will's apology 😂
20:14 "magnets, how do they work?"

If you enjoy spy hunter you will also enjoy “guerilla war” an amazing nes port of a great arcade game. Also you can actually beat it because select is your “insert coin” button. So basically you have infinite coins. And it’s a simultaneous multiplayer so you and a buddy can plow your way through army’s of guys with a plethora of weapons and an occasional tank on each map.
As for my 2nd comment id like to propose my ideas for MK9 (or 10 for those wackjobs who consider Tour to be 9)
If we have 24 racers (which seems to be the case) then id love to see a Double Dash mode & also a Double Dash mode within the Vs Teams which would give you 12 teams of 2
You could also have a Double Dash mode within the team battle modes & have 24 karts but 48 characters as each 24 karts would have 2 players
Id also like to see most if not all battle maps to be included as well but mainly just Big Donut, Block Fort, Skyscraper, Luigi's Mansion & Urchin Underpass (also every battle mode + a Splatoon mode where u ink either green or red by throwing ur colored shells or drifting/hitting other players & whoever has inked the most of their color wins)
Id also bring back Boss Battles & include other types of challenges as well which both will reward you with extra coins (read the rest to find out what coins would be used for)
However for the main tracks id love to see return are every N64 track, Delfino Square, Coconut Mall, DK Summit, Peach Gardens, Baby Park, Dino Dino Jungle, Daisy's Cruiser, Mushroom City, Wario Colosseum, Mushroom Bridge, Waluigi Pinball (MK7 version), Luigi's Mansion (MK7), Maka Wuhu, Neo Bowser City, Wuhu Loop, Electrodome, Excitebike Arena, Mount Wario, Mute City, Ribbon Road, Super Bell Subway, Toad Harbour, Yoshi's Island & Water Park
As for Characters id like every Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Character to return however remove Pink Gold Peach & make Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Dry Bowser & Peachette costume only racers with zero stat changes then id include the following Professor E Gadd, King Bob-Omb, Sprixies, Nabbit, Dixie Kong, Pinata, Spike, Toadsworth, Mouser, Noki & ll Piantissimo
Id also include alot of costumes that can be purchased via the coins you get in each race, boss mode & challenges.. however you can lose some of the coins you gathered in races from being hit but each lap will save the current amount of coins you have so if you get hit it will only take away some of the coins you earned that lap & each item will take away a different amount of coins ranging from 1-10coins
As for the Karts id include all Karts in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe & Double Dash, Booster Seat, Bumble V, Cheap Charger, Dragonfly, Drill Master, Dry Bomber, Dyno Buggy, Fastball, Flame Flyer, Hamburcar, Poltergust 4000, Road Jetter, Tiny Tug, Zipper
Then id include every glider from MK7 & MK8D & call it a day (obviously new regular & battle mode tracks, Karts, Gliders & Wheels would be a thing as well)
Do you think Pokemon scarlet and violet will automatically run better on the switch 2 or are they just broken at the core?

So what would be a fair price for a new game then? Cause if its above $70 then im just gonna play indies from now on.

When I got my ps vita the first game I got was spy Hunter which was awesome to play.
Why the hell did I not know y'all started up the pod again, I feel like in years later to this how long has this been running since Will stopped????
Like I feel like in discovering your original channel all over again there's so much new content on this channel WTH!
A $100 product that is not $100 in quality might as well not exist to me.
Change your Meta account to Europe and ask for a RGPD deletition :p

I want a switch 2 update for my old games. 60 fps patch if they can do it.
I would like to know & im not sure if anyone would have the answer other then Nintendo themself however

That's not what we're getting
This is closer to a ds 3ds situation
You've missread, it's not "part-time", now is more full-time. :D
If no OLED, I no buy. I honestly can't usually afford even the $70 games, i usually wait for sales.
Have you seen the LCD screen on a Playstation Portal? It looks fantastic. You don't need to wait for an OLED.
That’s not how tariffs work though. The price is set as the price. So if there is a $60 game it stays at $60 but you have to pay the Tariff. Or rather the importer and then they pass that along to you.
So it’s semantics then, oh so it was totally worth you clarifying even though the end result is no different.
champions are very easily obtainable in league of legends
