you should do a back log episode - just pick 5 games and go all in on them for an hour - if you do this i want credit in the episode to show my kids im still hip hahahah
56:40 the issue with Amir is that in his previous role as Amazon Games’ Business Development Lead, one of his duties included searching out new opportunities for “Platform, International, and Mobile content acquisition”, while his current role at Tencent tasks him with “sourcing games investment opportunities”. It was never disclosed that on the game awards, seemed like he was a nobody, a random small youtuber with a heart of gold. In his roles he probably had some influence on several layoffs if he was helping those huge companies acquiring other smaller ones. He is not this saint he was portrait as
No, I’d say Will is right here. We know all too well from esports that if the Chinese teams don’t win, social media (Weibo) will tell them to swim home. Showing disappointment is good Chinese PR, and framing it as something out of their hands from the start makes for even better PR. It’s just a PR game on Weibo to keep them in a more favorable light, both with the public and the government, which invested quite a bit into this, trying to beat Japan’s FromSoftware.1:05:28
HDMI 2.1 is limited to 4k at 120. We now have 240hz monitors at 4k. Technically it uses almost lossless compression to display that res and refresh rate. It's good but still not perfect. I am excited for 2.2
I personally think its a mistake to not give the Switch 2 its own unique color scheme to set it apart from the switch oled and switch. I was hoping for a SNES or SFC scheme for the joycons. But I know down the line we will get unique colors so its whatever
I'm always surprised when I hear people complain about lack of exclusives. Even PC gamers. It almost feels like especially PC gamers like to shit on Microsoft and Sony for not having exclusives.
Regarding the dock situation with covering the screen and not displaying anything - didn't they find with the Wii U that it took a surprising amount of power to display two things at once, even just mirroring? That's why a lot of the time it would just tell you to look down at the screen and it'll just go blank on the TV end. No reason to try it again with the Switch.
The Wii U was a different animal though. The gamepad didn’t dock, the console streamed the video to the device so that’s why it took a lot of power. Devices these days easily mirror the screen (phones, tablets, handheld PCs, etc.). Does it take more power still? Of course, but not like the Wii U.
@@TBHJR I'm not saying about mirroring the screen, I said even just mirroring it took a lot to do. So getting it to do something separately while docked seems like a lot, no other handheld does that, and it just seems unnecessary.
@@NimVim yes it has, but let's say the new Switch is as powerful as the Steam Deck, for instance, you don't expect that to show a separate independent screen on it while playing. I just don't see the point. If Nintendo somehow does it, it'll be another gimmick and be a drain on power.
Didn't we see a leak or hear roumers about a larger switch with better specs a few years ago? People were calling it the Switch Pro. Isn't this design just the switch pro that was canceled? The "Successer to the Switch" might not even look like this.
The only thing id want within the design of the Switch 2 is something to at least be able to notice the difference between the Switch & Switch 2 (outside of size & color) Other then that id also like for the Switch 2 to do something hardware wise that the Switch didn't/couldn't do As for everything else - faster game load times - better battery life - backwards compatible for physical & digital - music for the eshop/mii maker - faster eshop with way less cash crab free assets using garbage games (& being more stricked when a game is broken *cough cough* WWE 2k18 *cough cough) - a more customizable homescreen - retro games having a buyable option along side the subscription service - a Miiverse type thing - more mii games (more switch sports sports, miitopia 2, Tomodachi Life, nintendoland..)
"[Sonic X Shadow Generations] is not that good." Yes it is. "They can shovel trash and people will buy it." No, they can't. They actually can't. That's why they keep delaying games and why Sonic games aren't so frequent anymore, because they have to spend more time making sure they are of a decent quality. And you literally just heard that Superstars was a disappointment to them. What are you talking about?
Interesting they didn’t add another button on the other side to keep the symmetry of the joycons. Kinda stinks we live in a world with all these leaks and we can’t just be pleasantly surprised, lol. But yeah just need it to be more powerful, don’t overthink it Nintendo.
I think people who post these “leaks” that are a crock of shit need to get jobs and provide value for the shareholders and slave away like the rest of us (Me and Will)
Here's a plot twist for you. Every single game is a rip-off of another game with different pieces and parts put together in order to mash it into something else. Literally every game is inspired by something and everything is inspired by something. That's the world, sorry
I cant get into Astrobot for superficial reasons. I hate how he looks and moves around like a robot baby with a dumpy diaper. Not an appealing character.
Arlo and Wulff den the only non-obnoxious news providers for this shit. Thank you 🙏
Down for something prerecorded at least, but y’all enjoy your time with family, that’s more important 😊

A WULFF Family Special sounds interesting!

Enjoy the holidays Bob and Will! Congrats on another year of a great podcast, it’s always great listening to you two chat

Bob should really give Wukong another try, its sick. I was skeptical too, but it's addicting and breathtaking.
“It’s gonna be real hard to play Chun Li with one hand.” 🤣
The most wolfs ever sound siiiiick!!
I can’t wait for the BoTW version of Tetris!
There is no shot that DBrand case is real and not just them trolling due to all the other leaks because that’s their entire brand.
I bet the C button stands for Cast
I think we've got a WiiU x Switch hybrid thing going on here, and I'm excited.
HDMI 2.1 is limited to 4k at 120. We now have 240hz monitors at 4k. Technically it uses almost lossless compression to display that res and refresh rate. It's good but still not perfect. I am excited for 2.2

Happy Holidays guys 🎉
Hey Wulff bros my job has a really good sale on the Macbook pro M3 16 inch. Do you guys the 16 inch too big for everyday use?

This assumes the hardware didnt evolve since the Wii U, which it most DEFINITELY did.

@@charliefen Nintendo has always been about gimmicks, though. So why wouldnt they?
Hahahaha😂…he said 10s of thousands….definitely missing a zero buddy
Wonder if the 2 Nintendo Switch as the logo calls it will function as an alarmo as well due to the weather, and such if it's real.
I’ll never get why switch 2 leaks are still a thing. Just wait at the most 2 months and we’ll literally have a trailer for it!
Bro DisplayPort is slower and their spec is even more confusing because DP 2.0 has multiple bandwidth types/speeds
I'd rather have multiple cartridges than massive downloads, like the old days of "insert disk 2" mid-game, imagine "insert cartridge 2" 😂
A better version of what we already have… YOU MEAN THE WII U!
Can we get an audio clip for Skeet of the Week
Pack of Wulffs podcast! Pack of Wulffs podcast!

Other then that id also like for the Switch 2 to do something hardware wise that the Switch didn't/couldn't do
As for everything else
- faster game load times
- better battery life
- backwards compatible for physical & digital
- music for the eshop/mii maker
- faster eshop with way less cash crab free assets using garbage games (& being more stricked when a game is broken *cough cough* WWE 2k18 *cough cough)
- a more customizable homescreen
- retro games having a buyable option along side the subscription service
- a Miiverse type thing
- more mii games (more switch sports sports, miitopia 2, Tomodachi Life, nintendoland..)
The only perk of an HDMI 2.2 is that 2.1 cables will get cheaper
Both the Astro bot and Sonic x Shadow slander is unacceptable
How the hell are you guys not stoked about a new Turok game?
More like willturrtledammit with that new camera angle.
I’d still rather just play on an xbox because the achievements just hit better and you know it
You're dogging on the guy for watching in the shower while I'm watching this episode in the bath
January 20 is the usual Inauguration day when they become president.

Hell, no hell no
C = Cast
The black myth wu Kong director just sounds entitled and salty

Astro Bot is a ripoff of Nintendo games. Games Explained made a video showing every Nintendo game they copied.
Yeah and it rocks
Here's a plot twist for you. Every single game is a rip-off of another game with different pieces and parts put together in order to mash it into something else. Literally every game is inspired by something and everything is inspired by something. That's the world, sorry
And you're not a day above 11 years old, are you buddy. 😭
I cant get into Astrobot for superficial reasons. I hate how he looks and moves around like a robot baby with a dumpy diaper. Not an appealing character.
