1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Plumbers are sore losers. 
Something to remember when 

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,560
you're playing New Mario Tennis 
only on M60. 4. 

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,920
Welcome to Remember 64, where 
this week we're making a racket.

4
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:51,630
Welcome to the show, everyone. 
My name is David Pitrangelo and 

5
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:55,550
I am the tall, slender purple, 
wearing moustache twirling, 

6
00:00:55,550 --> 00:01:01,270
evildoer hell bent on winning 
this particular tennis 

7
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:06,400
tournament against my rivals. 
And apparently I'm the new arch 

8
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,280
nemesis of my guests today. 
I I see ours line up because I 

9
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,760
am Luigi's apartment and I am 
not afraid. 

10
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,000
Oh, you should be, Sir. 
You should be. 

11
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,640
You know what time has borne out
that no, I should not have been.

12
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,080
You should. 
You should not have been. 

13
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,200
Yeah, yeah, I know, right? 
I can't. 

14
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,760
Wait to talk about this? 
I cannot, cannot wait to talk 

15
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,440
about this too, if any of that 
makes any sense to you. 

16
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,360
You might have guessed that we 
have played Mario Tennis for the

17
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,320
Nintendo 64. 
And of course, that lovely voice

18
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,400
you hear is Luigi's apartment. 
Back to remember 64. 

19
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,280
This this is awesome. 
I'm so happy that we're doing 

20
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,720
this together. 
Hey, me too. 

21
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Yeah, Great, man. 
Great. 

22
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Hey, as long as we're both 
happy, who cares what else 

23
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,440
happens? 
That's all that matters. 

24
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Yeah, you know, it's just, you 
know, let's just play some 

25
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,520
tennis. 
Let's just play some tennis. 

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,560
I I wrote down some notes about 
how the game was made. 

27
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Couple of ideas that the team 
came up with as they were making

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880
it. 
This game came out in 2000, 

29
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,920
August of 2000. 
But there's quite a bit of I 

30
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:16,400
would say history with this game
as far as like for me growing up

31
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,960
friends of mine that played this
game or one person had it and 

32
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,200
everybody came over and played 
it. 

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,360
Things like that. 
It it's one of those we, I think

34
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,880
we've talked about when we 
talked about whether we talked 

35
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,440
about Star Wars or or Pokémon 
Snap or Majora's Mask and all 

36
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,800
the episodes that we've done 
together and stuff and even 

37
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120
other ones where I've played 
sort of like more obscure games.

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,120
I've always sort of mentioned 
there's always like the staple 

39
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,080
Mario games, like the Nintendo 
titles that seems like everybody

40
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,000
had or at least one friend had 
at least one of those. 

41
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,360
This was one of those titles. 
Is that the same for you? 

42
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Did you have like it yourself or
like a friend or a family member

43
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,520
of yours had this and it was 
like a go to? 

44
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,480
It was weirdly enough, it like 
you you wouldn't take a tennis 

45
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,600
game, would be a go to game. 
But yeah, we played this game a 

46
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,840
lot. 
Yeah, I was very excited for 

47
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,200
this game. 
The, you know, up to looking at 

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Nintendo's like online promotion
for it, like the website they 

49
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120
had, you could, you know 
interact with the website much 

50
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,520
like a lot of old Flash sites. 
And so yeah, I was like, you 

51
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320
know, I was hyped. 
Nintendo had me hyped up for 

52
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,760
this game. 
I I think like because it came 

53
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,080
out in 2000, they had some time 
to figure that out, I guess in a

54
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,520
way for some of these Mario 
games. 

55
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,280
I think that's part of it. 
Like, it's a pretty late game 

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,600
because about a a year later I 
know, so did I I thought it was 

57
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,440
like I because I played this so 
much and because I remembered it

58
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
so fondly, I thought, Oh yeah, 
this is, you know, 98, let's say

59
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560
or something like that. 
That's what I would have pegged 

60
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,920
at. 
Yeah, exactly. 

61
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,040
And and I think the 2000 Ness of
it, if that's the right way to 

62
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,280
say it, we'll get into how it 
plays. 

63
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,360
But I think the, the age of it 
and and how late it is in the 

64
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,640
console's life cycle sort of 
lends to the fact that it it 

65
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,320
plays pretty well. 
And I think that's one of the 

66
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,040
reasons why it's kind of stuck 
and it's like you never feel 

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,000
like you're being ripped off 
when you played against other 

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,800
people and never really felt 
unfair. 

69
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,600
I don't think so. 
I I I wish I'd Yeah, maybe. 

70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,880
I don't know. 
That's that's my memory. 

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,280
Oh, no, no, I'm agreeing. 
OK, yeah, I'd say yeah, you're 

72
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,600
you're not wrong. 
Yeah. 

73
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,080
And that's and that's testament 
to them, to them making the 

74
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,040
game, right. 
So Speaking of that, it was made

75
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,560
by Camelot Software. 
Yeah. 

76
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,560
So we've we've definitely had 
experience with Camelot in the 

77
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,480
past. 
Mario Golf was was one that I we

78
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,120
did in on the show already and 
that's one of my favorite 

79
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,840
franchises of all time. 
I've said it before and I'll say

80
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,560
it again Mario on, Mario Golf on
both Game Boy Color and Game Boy

81
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Advance are some of my favorite 
sports games ever. 

82
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
I. 
See, They just hit I. 

83
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Did. 
I did and I I played. 

84
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,000
I played a little bit of golf, 
but I had never played the Mario

85
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Tennis one I the game. 
Boy Killer 1. 

86
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Yeah, I didn't know I I had. 
I I mean, I knew it was out 

87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,160
there. 
But I It's so weird to me that 

88
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,840
the golf games were so popular 
for me and loved them so much 

89
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,600
and I still love them to this 
day. 

90
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680
And this particular game, Mario 
Tennis, was so big for me too, 

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,040
that I can't believe I never 
played it and never I honestly, 

92
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,720
I'm I'm disappointed in myself. 
I I had the the Gameboy Color 

93
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,840
one and got like way way way 
into it. 

94
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:38,760
Nice. 
You know, like the G1, it's an 

95
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:44,960
RPG, like a, you know, sports 
RPG and you know you're you're 

96
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,320
trying to get different rackets,
headbands, dues to level your 

97
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,240
player up. 
And I was playing it in like a 

98
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,040
health class, PE class. 
Our our health PE teacher was 

99
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,240
the tennis coach and he caught 
me playing it and confiscated 

100
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,200
it, but not because he was mad 
because he would usually let me 

101
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,520
play video games, but because it
was a tennis game. 

102
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,160
He had to play it. 
No way. 

103
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,360
So he took it away and played it
for the rest of class. 

104
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Yeah, why did shit? 
You had the cool teachers, man. 

105
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,080
What the? 
Hell yeah, He was all right. 

106
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200
We liked. 
It sounds sounds cool enough 

107
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,280
that that at that age an adult 
would be like, hey, hey I need 

108
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,040
to play this game. 
Give it to me. 

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,800
You know one of those. 
Yeah. 

110
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,360
It's it's so I I played a boat. 
I'm going to say it plays game. 

111
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,120
Yeah. 
Tennis game. 

112
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,400
Yeah. 
I'm. 

113
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,000
I'll take it. 
I'll. 

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Yeah, give me, give me that. 
That was like me with my uncle 

115
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,840
we had, we had an NHLPA game. 
This is before the NHL rights as

116
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,480
we had that for Super Nintendo 
back in the day. 

117
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,480
And my it was like the first 
sports game, one of the first 

118
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,320
games I had for the console when
I was younger. 

119
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,240
My uncle who is 12 years, 13 
years younger than my dad, so he

120
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,040
felt kind of like young and cool
at all, you know, all the time. 

121
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:03,880
I have an aunt like that. 
Right. 

122
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,400
He played that game and as like 
a 7 year old, I was like, my 

123
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,320
uncle is playing video games. 
Like they never grew up with 

124
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
them, 'cause they were of the 
age where they never would have,

125
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200
and in a household that probably
couldn't afford it at the time 

126
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,320
or anything. 
So it was like the coolest thing

127
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,760
ever. 
Yeah, I was like, Oh my God. 

128
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,040
And you had a teacher that did 
that. 

129
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,360
I would have been like, Oh my 
God. 

130
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Yeah, my aunt taught me a lot. 
My uncle came to visit us in 

131
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,360
California one time, and he and 
his friend just played my NES 

132
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,720
constantly. 
That's that's yeah my my family 

133
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080
is very much not the video game 
people. 

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,040
It's me, my brother growing up 
and mostly my friends and and 

135
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720
that was that family, was not, 
was not the video game people. 

136
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,560
So I sort of am the the black 
sheep or or maybe I'm the I'm 

137
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,760
I'm just the sheep, you know. 
I'm just the person that's 

138
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,680
that's following the cool 
trends, 'cause I'm a cool kid. 

139
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,040
You know one of those. 
Digital sheep. 

140
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Digital The digital cool sheep, 
yeah. 

141
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,480
So, so tell me more about how 
Camelot made this game. 

142
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,800
OK, so as. 
A wonderful place. 

143
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Yeah, it is. 
And actually as of this 

144
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,000
recording we are in mid mid to 
late March of 2023. 

145
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,480
It is just a couple days removed
from the 25th anniversary of 

146
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,320
this company being founded which
is really cool. 

147
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480
At least this this version of 
the of the company. 

148
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Sorry not 20 not 25353525 would 
would be like just before this 

149
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,240
game came out. 
Right. 

150
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,360
That makes a little bit more 
sense. 

151
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720
Yeah. 
So it is this version of the 

152
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,720
company. 
I you know, I had a couple 

153
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,679
iterations leading up to this 
and stuff, but. 

154
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,720
They made the games before that.
Yes, 100% they did. 

155
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,040
This is the 6th Mario game for 
the N64. 

156
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Mario Tennis brought 11 new 
characters or not new 

157
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,960
characters, 11 characters to it,
including of course Waluigi and 

158
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
where he was introduced. 
That is. 

159
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,800
That is the biggest thing out of
all of the of the the 

160
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,560
information and everything that 
I looked up to try to figure 

161
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,560
out, you know, how how is this 
game made and whatever. 

162
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,880
I think it was really just 
Camelot made golf. 

163
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,360
They had a plan to make tennis, 
the next tennis Nintendo game 

164
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,160
and it was just sort of like one
after the other. 

165
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,240
It was just sort of like their 
next task after golf. 

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,840
So it's not like this overly 
complicated or complex way that 

167
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,760
they kind of got to this. 
It's it's tennis Use the same 

168
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,720
sort of attitude that you had 
from golf. 

169
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,640
I would say that's that's how I 
would sort of describe what this

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,840
is. 
And and then they chose to 

171
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,160
create, Nintendo chose to 
introduce and create Luigi's 

172
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,600
arch nemesis, which is Waluigi. 
And that is the number one thing

173
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,520
that pops up every time you 
bring this game up is this is 

174
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,680
how Waluigi was introduced. 
It was the ad campaign, yeah. 

175
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,600
Right. 
He he was it. 

176
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,520
He was the ad campaign for this 
game. 

177
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:05,280
Yeah, that's like to to to go 
back to 2000, that is what they 

178
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,920
were doing was shoving him the, 
the, like when you would type in

179
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,920
the URL and like the landing 
page was like him like behind a 

180
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,440
brick wall or something, right. 
Breaking through it and I was 

181
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,440
hyped. 
I was like cool new guy. 

182
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,840
He plays unfairly well and yeah,
it's pretty great. 

183
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,440
It it's cool to have like I 
guess, you know, Wario was 

184
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,640
introduced in a Game Boy game in
in the Mario Land series and he 

185
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,920
was sort of like very obvious as
as the bad guy, 'cause he's 

186
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,600
like, you know, sort of ruling 
everything in in that game and 

187
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,600
every and then he has his own 
games and stuff. 

188
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,680
Actually, is it Wario Land? 
I think when he had his first, 

189
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,280
His first? 
Solo game. 

190
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,760
You know Wario Land, Mario Land 
3 Wario Land I believe. 

191
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,840
Yeah, that game like. 
That I love having a complicated

192
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,760
title like that. 
I know, it's so weird, but I 

193
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,400
love that game. 
I have that game too, and and 

194
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,680
fell in love with it as a kid 
too. 

195
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,440
Played a ton, yeah. 
By the time like or by the time 

196
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Wario was was huge, like say 
Mario Kart 64, Yeah, I was a 

197
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,800
huge fan of Wario and Luigi. 
But like, Oh yeah, like I was on

198
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,880
the Wario train. 
I thought he was great. 

199
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760
I started out that way with this
purple thing too. 

200
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:28,920
What? 
What? 

201
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,280
Happened. 
He just makes no sense to me. 

202
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Well, OK, why explain? 
Find him illogical because you 

203
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,040
know in in this narrative, Wario
is a greedy guy, right? 

204
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,320
Why would he one? 
He wouldn't have a partner. 

205
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,920
He would have to share money 
with them. 

206
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:54,160
Like this makes no sense. 
And and Luigi already has a 

207
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,440
rival. 
It's Mario. 

208
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Oh, I see. 
He's barely in the games. 

209
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,640
He's got to fight his way to get
into them. 

210
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,120
He doesn't need a rival, and 
Nintendo has also never really 

211
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,560
acknowledged the existence of 
this thing. 

212
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:12,480
I I was gonna say, I feel like. 
I feel like the man is what's is

213
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,720
the the enemy of Luigi. 
Yeah, which is, you know, just 

214
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,040
Nintendo. 
So I was like, he doesn't need a

215
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,880
rival. 
He's already like like, I'm not 

216
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,880
a huge Mario fan. 
I think Mario sucks. 

217
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,040
Yeah, it's. 
It's just like he's kind of 

218
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,160
boring, right? 
He's just kind of like he's 

219
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,320
Mario. 
He's Mario. 

220
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,680
That's that's it. 
Yeah. 

221
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,040
I he can't jump that high. 
Come on, he's. 

222
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,520
A scrub but but, but while Luigi
doesn't need to jump, he can 

223
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,120
just reach. 
He's so tall and. 

224
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,760
And good Lord, the reach on that
character, It's insane. 

225
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,560
It's. 
Crazy. 

226
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:47,040
He's like he's tall. 
He's the tallest character you 

227
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,000
could possibly. 
It's not fair. 

228
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,280
It's really not fair. 
I want to actually talk about 

229
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720
just because if anyone's 
watching the video version that 

230
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,160
we had like the the intro up of 
the game, I don't know. 

231
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,120
I don't know about you, but I 
don't know if I ever watched, or

232
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,160
at least I definitely don't 
remember watching the full intro

233
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,680
video of this and. 
It's so it's. 

234
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,840
So I don't know. 
I I just don't recall it I guess

235
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,800
is really what it is. 
But it's hilarious because yes, 

236
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,600
while Luigi comes in and Wario 
and they're like, oh, I 

237
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,920
challenge you Mario and Luigi, 
cause OK, typical whatever, 

238
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,120
right? 
Yeah, whatever. 

239
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,760
And then, OK, Bowser comes in 
and it seems like they're all 

240
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,720
buddy, buddy, we're just gonna 
have a tournament, you know, 

241
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,920
without actually using words, 
just noises. 

242
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,320
And then? 
These are the the FMV cutscenes 

243
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400
that everybody wants. 
Right, right, right. 

244
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,600
That's what everyone wants, 
yeah. 

245
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,080
And then a bomb comes in and 
just kind of strolls in and 

246
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,120
blows everybody up. 
Is that what happens 'cause 

247
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,600
that's what it looks like like? 
Mayhap's or it's just like, hey,

248
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,040
we're I'm gonna, I'm gonna be 
the guy who decides who's the 

249
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,600
real. 
Look at this, everyone's like, 

250
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,840
Oh no, it's a bomb. 
And then? 

251
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,520
It is a bomb. 
Literally boom and then it goes 

252
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,480
to the menu screen. 
Tennis explosion. 

253
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,520
Tennis. 
That's how tennis happens. 

254
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:04,960
You didn't you? 
Have you never watched the 

255
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,800
tennis match before? 
Clearly. 

256
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,600
I haven't watched enough to 
realize. 

257
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,680
Andre Agassi like lights, the 
little walking bomb or, you 

258
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:16,600
know, or John McEnroe, you know,
someone old. 

259
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,320
You know what, even. 
Kids, yeah, you know, it 

260
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,880
explodes and the kids play 
tennis. 

261
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Matt McEnroe actually tracks. 
That actually tracks. 

262
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,240
I think. 
I think that's right. 

263
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,360
If anyone would do it, it would 
hang up. 

264
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,320
Mom, yeah. 
I just thought that was 

265
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,320
hilarious. 
I was like, this is, they 

266
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,040
literally just blow everybody up
and they're like boom, tennis. 

267
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880
You know, like sort of like a 
like a, a smoke bomb tennis. 

268
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,240
I mean cause like the Mario 
Party games do that. 

269
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,320
The like all the Camelot sports 
games do that. 

270
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,320
Like you know, the game cube 
ones. 

271
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,080
There's just some dumb crap at 
the beginning. 

272
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,360
That's really what it is. 
Yeah, it is just dumb. 

273
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Yeah. 
Oh, like they're all mad, you 

274
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,920
know? 
Like they they like to make 

275
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,680
Wario and Waluigi, like scheming
in the bushes, like trying to 

276
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,240
trying to, you know, screw up 
their golf game or something. 

277
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,560
Yeah, yeah, just just, they're 
just bad guys doing the bad 

278
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,040
thing, you know, that's that's 
kind of. 

279
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,680
That's kind of what they're. 
Yeah. 

280
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,440
That's pretty. 
Let them. 

281
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,440
Let them have that, if that's 
what they want. 

282
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,640
I like Wario better. 
You know, the R&D one Wario 

283
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,160
where he he's, you know, trying 
to get gold and he's weird and 

284
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,920
greedy and bald. 
Yeah, he wears his funny spiked 

285
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,640
hats and, you know, things like 
that. 

286
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320
Yeah, yeah. 
When he gets injured, he looks 

287
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,200
stupid. 
Yeah, it's, it's great. 

288
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,440
And I'm I'm playing. 
I played one of my first RE 

289
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,880
pickups of this game have the 
actual cartridge that I decided 

290
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,200
to play and I decided to we'll 
talk about characters and sort 

291
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,400
of what we choose in a bit. 
But part of the the the choice 

292
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,360
of why certain characters are in
this not just, well, Luigi, but 

293
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Daisy is one of them, right. 
And for me growing growing up 

294
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,160
and not even, I don't even know,
maybe not even that recently I 

295
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,800
just assumed Daisy was also 
introduced in this game. 

296
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Like I didn't never really 
thought too much of it or maybe 

297
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,040
she was in Mario Party or 
something. 

298
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
I was like, oh OK, yeah, like 
that's where I first saw her and

299
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,240
that's just where she was 
introduced. 

300
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,080
Whatever. 
Right. 

301
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,080
But it's not. 
And I don't know that I really 

302
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,960
realized where she came from, 
so. 

303
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Just the reference to to Mario 
Land one Speaking of Mario 

304
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,720
lands. 
Yeah, yeah, so yeah. 

305
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,440
So at Nintendo's suggestion is 
what what I have here at 

306
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,360
Nintendo's suggestion, Princess 
Daisy was brought back from 

307
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,160
obscurity after only ever 
appearing in Super Mario Land 

308
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:42,160
and NES Open Tournament Golf. 
This was in order to give Luigi 

309
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,920
a Double S partner and have that
the same as Marion Peach. 

310
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,520
So you know the Open Tournament 
Golf is sort of like the 

311
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,480
predecessor to Mario Golf in 64.
And then the same thing with the

312
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,800
tennis Game. 
This is sort of like the quote 

313
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,960
UN quote sequel to what they had
at that time. 

314
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,040
So I didn't realize that. 
They're both very competent 

315
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,080
tennis games. 
Yes, 100%. 

316
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Yeah. 
I I didn't. 

317
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,640
I didn't really realize that. 
I don't know. 

318
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,200
I don't know why I didn't. 
I don't know if I just never 

319
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,520
really paid attention to it and 
stuff, but I thought that was 

320
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,880
interesting. 
I was more, I mean like as a kid

321
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,599
I was more confused about it. 
I was like, is that is that what

322
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:14,760
this is supposed to be? 
Is it? 

323
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,040
Is it? 
Are they saying Daisy's been 

324
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,520
here the whole time? 
Right. 

325
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Like, OK, Daisy's here. 
Still fine, I guess, although 

326
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,200
it's Canon that they that 
they're they're a couple. 

327
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,720
So there you go. 
Right. 

328
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,200
I get, Yeah. 
I mean, if you're a double S 

329
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,160
partner online, if you're a 
double S partner, you have to be

330
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,240
a couple, right. 
Is that just the? 

331
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,360
Right, Yeah, that's The thing is
you have to consummate the 

332
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:43,080
relationship before the match. 
After the explosion, right first

333
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,080
couple. 
Yeah, yeah. 

334
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Or is that what causes the 
explosion maybe? 

335
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,920
The explosion? 
No, they are unrelated, but they

336
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,520
happen around the same time. 
OK. 

337
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,640
OK. 
Well, hey kids, Science. 

338
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,720
There you go. 
We learn. 

339
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,560
We learn something. 
Science. 

340
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,840
Sports. 
Sports. 

341
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,640
Science. 
Sports science, that's why you 

342
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,480
come to the show for sports 
sciences, everybody and and 

343
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,680
we've been learned. 
There we go. 

344
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,840
And very competent tennis games 
'cause this is one of those. 

345
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Yes, yes, it really is. 
Yeah. 

346
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,880
So go, go for it. 
It it's it, it plays, it plays 

347
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,920
nicely, right. 
Like how? 

348
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,960
How did it? 
How does it feel to you when you

349
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,120
when you're able to play this 
'cause I think you said either 

350
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:23,240
before we hit record or just 
beginning that you you you were 

351
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,520
playing this on Switch, I think 
on the on the Switch service, 

352
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,240
How did how did it feels playing
on that? 

353
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Yeah. 
Oh it it feels great. 

354
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,760
This is the this was the first 
game I booted up when the Switch

355
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,400
N64 channel was launched. 
I went right for this. 

356
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:43,360
Just the the the realization I 
had David playing it. 

357
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,880
It was like, Oh well, I have to 
unlock star character. 

358
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Luigi, of course. 
And that means playing through 

359
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,080
all of the tournaments. 
You know, there's like an easy 

360
00:18:53,160 --> 00:19:00,560
medium and a hard tournament. 
And very quickly the the, the 

361
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,280
slow grin that came over my face
and I was like, oh, I'm going to

362
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,720
have to do this for every single
character the way I did on the 

363
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,960
cartridge back in the day. 
It's not just one. 

364
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,480
This is gonna be great. 
So yeah, every now and then I go

365
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,840
back and and make, you know, put
a dent in it. 

366
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,040
I've been working on Daisy 
lately. 

367
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:22,960
Oh, OK. 
How, How's the progress on it 

368
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,920
going? 
How many have you done? 

369
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,480
Not many. 
It's very hard 'cause I don't go

370
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,760
back to it often and you have to
be like you have to be on your 

371
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,480
game, so. 
Especially on the tougher 

372
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,120
matches 100% man this is it's 
it's rough sometimes it it's I 

373
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,800
if anyone's watching it at the 
moment I'm I'm playing the 

374
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,240
really the easiest mushroom 
tournament or whatever you know 

375
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,360
you might you might lose a game 
but but that's that's kind of it

376
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:51,920
it's it's pretty easy and the 
matches are quick but. 

377
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,680
But the but the final match on 
the Star Cup against Berto. 

378
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,560
Like get out. 
I I didn't make it that far. 

379
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,920
I went and played all the other 
modes. 

380
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:02,400
But I'm I'm, I'm scared to do 
it. 

381
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,560
I'm scared. 
It's it's tough. 

382
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,120
I thought I would, you know, be 
up and running in no time and 

383
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,600
and I couldn't. 
I could not get past Berto. 

384
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,000
It's the it's, it's it's us as 
olds. 

385
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,320
I I guess that's just sort of 
sort of what it is, right? 

386
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,760
I mean it's true too though. 
Like if this is one of those 

387
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,480
games where I think you sort of 
have, if you're playing it off 

388
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,840
and on fairly consistently, 
you'll probably have some muscle

389
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,920
memory for it and be able to, 
you know, read the play a little

390
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,120
bit more, a little bit 
differently. 

391
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:39,720
But, but they do play better. 
Like the AI is just better as 

392
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,920
you go along. 
It's not like they're it's not 

393
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,280
like, Oh well, I'm playing the 
character that is faster or the 

394
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,440
character that has more power. 
No, they they just, they're just

395
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,960
smarter and they hit better 
shots and that and that's it. 

396
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,040
And. 
And I I think I if I were 

397
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,160
playing as Luigi, I would be 
doing better because I'm just 

398
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,200
very used to how that character 
works, no matter, you know, 

399
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,040
whatever it is. 
And so is Daisy is who I was 

400
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,440
playing as is a technique and I 
don't. 

401
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,880
I don't, I don't know what that 
is. 

402
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,880
I don't know how to take 
advantage of any of the 

403
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,880
technique stuff. 
I don't. 

404
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,280
Know what the technique means? 
Either cause so is Waluigi. 

405
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,120
Well, Luigi is a technique as 
well, so. 

406
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,760
I just stick. 
I stick with my my all rounder 

407
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,680
and and I know how to make that 
work. 

408
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,640
I played mostly. 
I think I remember mostly 

409
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,400
playing as the Koopa growing up.
They have, they have the tricky 

410
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,680
shots where like I think it's, I
think it's the backspin one or 

411
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,640
something Curves. 
On that. 

412
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,440
Yeah, you get the curves. 
I think that's why I did it, 

413
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,840
'cause it's like, I'm so good. 
But really, it was just the 

414
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,200
mechanic of the game. 
Like it. 

415
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,560
It's unwieldy, but it it works. 
The other thing I don't know if 

416
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,560
Cuba does this, Boo does this. 
Where when you start to charge 

417
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,240
up your like your hit because 
you can if you can be in place 

418
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,840
to where the ball is gonna go, 
you can start your hit early and

419
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,040
start gaining power and Boo will
just keep sliding. 

420
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,160
Oh, OK. 
So I don't know if I have it on 

421
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,520
the on my on the video that I 
recorded of me playing, I played

422
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,800
as Boo just randomly. 
I'm like, oh, I'm gonna pick Boo

423
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,440
on the one of the the piranha 
mode where they just shoot a 

424
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,640
bunch of balls at you and you 
just have to yeah, it's kind of 

425
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,480
like survive as long as you can.
And I kept missing because he 

426
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,680
just kept going and I was like 
what? 

427
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,920
What is happening? 
I don't what am I doing wrong? 

428
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,200
Is something wrong with my 
controller? 

429
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,920
I'm not playing an emulator like
nothing's like what's happening 

430
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,720
here. 
No, it's Boo, so Boo is with 

431
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,000
that. 
Boo is a dangerous weapon. 

432
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,080
I've never been good at it, but 
I had a friend who one of the 

433
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,160
people I played this like the 
most with cause 'cause like a 

434
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,360
lot of 64 games. 
I played this a lot like in my 

435
00:22:53,360 --> 00:23:00,000
20s, too, where, like, people 
would be over for band practice.

436
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,720
Or like, waiting for one of the 
other bands to get done with 

437
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,000
practice and like, oh, Mario 
Tennis. 

438
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,560
Like, yeah, like, let's, let's 
play. 

439
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,880
I had AI had a roommate who got 
obsessed with Mario Tennis. 

440
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,840
Yeah, let's do it right. 
It's like you fire it up. 

441
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,960
It's a it's a great game that 
just kind of fire up and play, 

442
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,520
play with someone, yeah. 
But but when one of those times 

443
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,920
happened my friend, an old you 
know, an old friend of mine came

444
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,320
over and I was like hey we need 
lots of Mario. 

445
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,040
Tennis has been happening. 
You need to come over. 

446
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,440
We need to shut everybody in the
house down because he plays as 

447
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Boo. 
I play as Luigi and we are like 

448
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,880
an unstoppable double S team 
just like we like we cover each 

449
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,360
other's like weaknesses pretty 
well. 

450
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:51,960
And he's, he got really good at.
You can start Boo's shot early 

451
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,680
and slide. 
So if you know where you want 

452
00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Boo to end his slide at, yeah, 
it's it's I've seen. 

453
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,680
I've seen that man do insane 
things with that character. 

454
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,960
Yeah. 
On a tennis court, it's it's 

455
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,920
ridiculous. 
He is. 

456
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,520
He is unsafe while he controls 
that character. 

457
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,440
No, it's it's wrong. 
The things that Boo can do in 

458
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,040
this game are very wrong, OK? 
So, so that's part of what it 

459
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,920
is, is is it. 
It is specifically a mechanic 

460
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,760
for that character. 
OK, that's that's cool. 

461
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,240
It's very tricky. 
So yeah, so if you can, it 

462
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,960
literally holds the tricky name 
and it runs with that kind of 

463
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,640
thing. 
OK, that that's pretty cool. 

464
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,960
I mean, I I think that. 
It's pretty great. 

465
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,480
Yeah, it's it's great. 
But it also I feel like is the 

466
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,840
sort of cheat code if you can, 
if you can figure it out you 

467
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,000
know. 
It's it's like learning spin in 

468
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,760
Wii Tennis. 
Like eventually if you messed 

469
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,000
around with it long enough, you 
could turn the the Wii Mote in 

470
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,320
such a way that you would get 
top spin or backspin on it and 

471
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,120
you know. 
Game over. 

472
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,680
Your friend or your aunt who 
just plays it whenever they hang

473
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,640
out with you, doesn't know how 
to do that. 

474
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,600
But you don't tell them I right?
Like why would you tell them? 

475
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,080
Yeah, no way. 
No way. 

476
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:09,720
It's easy. 
Look. 

477
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,560
It's like this. 
Look. 

478
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,160
Look what I'm doing. 
Do what I'm doing. 

479
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,960
It's just like that. 
See. 

480
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:17,600
I mean you. 
You almost got it. 

481
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,920
You almost got it. 
Boom, I went. 

482
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Oh, sorry, Oops. 
Well, you know, just get good. 

483
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,960
That's. 
That's what is it about tennis 

484
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,280
video games. 
They're really good. 

485
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,160
They are really good. 
I I think you know what? 

486
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,040
Like I I really like watching 
tennis. 

487
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,280
I find the athleticism of it. 
I find the competition of it to 

488
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,960
be obviously very impressive. 
I mean these people are just 

489
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,360
crazy good athletes. 
But I I find it to be really 

490
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,680
interesting like because it's 
it's there's enough going on in 

491
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,560
tennis, whether it's real life 
or in a game, but it's still 

492
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,320
simple enough. 
It's back and forth. 

493
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,600
You know, it's ping pong. 
Everybody knows what ping pong 

494
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,480
is. 
Everyone knows what pong is. 

495
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,880
You know, that's why pong works.
So I think like, I think that's 

496
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,400
part of it maybe and and and if 
you have mechanics to to back it

497
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,760
up, which I, you know, I think 
we both agree that this game 

498
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:14,200
largely does, then there's just 
enough under the surface for it 

499
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,880
to feel like there's more going 
on than just press A or press B 

500
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,880
and walk back and forth and 
that's it. 

501
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,720
Yeah, I don't. 
Know because you know it is kind

502
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,240
of about leverage almost. 
It's like, you know, getting the

503
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,320
the getting your opponent off 
balance or getting them, like 

504
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,840
you know on a certain place of 
the court that you want them to 

505
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,120
be at, you can take advantage of
something else. 

506
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:43,600
And but in order to do that, you
have to not fall to their trick,

507
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,240
'cause they're gonna be trying 
to mess with you. 

508
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,680
And so yeah. 
The the thinking, like thinking 

509
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,120
two or three moves ahead 
potentially, is really fun. 

510
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,120
A little bit. 
I I like that part of it. 

511
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:54,840
Like, it's a little bit of a 
mind game in a way. 

512
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Like you're saying, like, I 
think that's it feels rewarding,

513
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,280
right? 
Because if you are doing that 

514
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,400
and you are, let's say, whether 
you're playing, you know, you 

515
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:10,080
know, solo or playing with 
people, if you do that, it feels

516
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,600
like, Oh yeah, yeah, that works.
Hell yeah. 

517
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,880
But we've unlocked something, 
yeah. 

518
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,280
Yeah, look, what I just did. 
Suck it Like, you know, like one

519
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,440
of those. 
You know, eventually you can get

520
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,680
the computer to do what you want
it to do, right? 

521
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,400
Just like tuck one in the corner
and then and then split them 

522
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,200
down the, you know, down the 
middle. 

523
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Yeah, yeah. 
I think this, this has the has 

524
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,160
the, I think it's it's double 
tap A or double tap B, right? 

525
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,120
Where you get a little extra 
spin. 

526
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,800
Is it spin a certain way? 
I think if you just I just I 

527
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,600
just start mashing the button. 
Basically whatever button I want

528
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,680
like A is top spin, B is slice. 
That's what it is, yeah. 

529
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,600
That's what it is. 
Yeah. 

530
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,960
And then both of them together 
is the power shot. 

531
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Yeah, the the purple or pink 
stream, that's that's behind it.

532
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,040
That's how you know what the 
shots gonna be. 

533
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,600
So I actually think that's 
interesting too, that, that the 

534
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,520
game, I mean, yeah, makes it a 
little bit more cartoony, I 

535
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,320
guess, 'cause there's more 
colors flashing around. 

536
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,720
But it also lets your opponent 
know at the same time, like, oh,

537
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,240
this could be one of those shots
that's gonna be a back spin or. 

538
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,920
Or a forward spin. 
Yeah. 

539
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,680
And I think that that helps a 
little bit to create, like, more

540
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,480
of a chance of a rally, which is
what's happening in the game 

541
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,920
that I'm playing right now, that
I'm showing where I'm just like,

542
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,120
oh crap, yeah, just go on like 
this insane. 

543
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,320
Yeah, these insane rallies in 
this game I find to be so fun, 

544
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,080
especially in these ring modes 
where you have to. 

545
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,080
Ring mode's pretty good, I. 
Love the ring mode, man. 

546
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,200
I love it. 
To me, it's my favorite part. 

547
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,840
It's my favorite. 
I was playing earlier and you 

548
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,560
always get to the 4th, 1:00, and
it's with Wario. 

549
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,520
And Wario doesn't like, he, 
like, wants to play tennis. 

550
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,880
Donkey Kong does too. 
Donkey Kong always return it. 

551
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,560
Yeah, dude, come on, just just 
give me a back. 

552
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,640
Like, no, no, I'm going to, I'm 
going to like, you know, just 

553
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,560
dunk on you. 
Like nobody can hear these 

554
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,320
rings. 
Yeah, yeah. 

555
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,240
Isn't that why we're both? 
Don't you see these rings? 

556
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,760
Aren't we both here for the same
reason, like? 

557
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,000
What are you doing? 
Well, like they, they hit the 

558
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,280
net and the computer, like, 
takes that out on me and I'm 

559
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,280
like, come on. 
It's true. 

560
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,080
I ran into, I ran into Warrior 
on Donkey Kong a few times. 

561
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,720
I was like, dude, stop. 
Yeah, wait. 

562
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,160
Just. 
I like how you you faulted right

563
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,040
there, like, egregiously, just 
to, like, pick up a couple rings

564
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,720
just to grab a couple rings 
there again. 

565
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Yeah, like that was pretty good.
Yeah, I like that. 

566
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,320
I'm, I'm playing I'm playing the
game. 

567
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,160
You know I gotta you gotta you 
gotta milk the game a little 

568
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,640
bit. 
It it's it's so interesting too.

569
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,720
Who? 
Cares the default. 

570
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,240
It doesn't matter the fault the 
only, but you have to win. 

571
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,000
You have to win the point in 
order to keep the rings that you

572
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,840
hit, which I think is also an 
interesting way of doing it too.

573
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,240
So you don't just hit the ball 
through the rings, You have to 

574
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,800
make sure that you don't lose 
that point. 

575
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,440
So there was a couple points 
where I was playing that, I 

576
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,240
don't know, maybe it was one of 
the ones that had like 70 or 100

577
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,040
rings you have to get. 
And I'm sitting, I'm sitting at 

578
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,200
most of them in one long rally 
and then I miss it and I'm like,

579
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:14,440
fuck, like, God damn it, and it 
doesn't end the game, but it's 

580
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,960
kind of frustrating. 
Oh, here, now I'm gonna play 

581
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,840
Donkey Kong. 
Here we go. 

582
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,760
Now he he's gonna show up and 
try and beat me. 

583
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,280
Yeah. 
I really like the ring thing. 

584
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,960
I I think because I really like 
the way that the rallies feel in

585
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,040
this. 
And I think that the AI, despite

586
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,240
Wario and Donkey Kong, kind of 
like feeling like they just 

587
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,560
really want to beat you instead 
of helping you other than. 

588
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,400
That right now. 
This one's not bad. 

589
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,160
Yeah, it's not too bad. 
Or maybe Or maybe I'm just 

590
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,040
really good. 
Maybe that. 

591
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,160
And then and then there's like 
the the battle mode in here, 

592
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,760
which is always kind of kind of 
weird. 

593
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,240
Yeah, I like. 
I wish you could do the battle 

594
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,240
mode. 
Like not on the rickety 

595
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,760
structure. 
Yeah, the like keep. 

596
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,680
The items but not have that like
nonsense happening, yeah. 

597
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,840
It's so it's you're on like the 
I think it's the Bowser mode or 

598
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,080
Bowser stage or something like. 
Bowser's cat. 

599
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,080
Yeah. 
Bowser's Castle. 

600
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,120
Yeah, they're hanging from 
chains. 

601
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,800
Yeah, you're. 
Floating above the lava like, 

602
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,520
yeah, this game's violent bands.
Like, you know, I wanna kill 

603
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,760
them, yes, but like, I wanna. 
I wanna see what I'm doing. 

604
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,800
Yeah. 
So it I, I yeah, it's a little 

605
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,600
bit difficult sometimes to see 
what's happening. 

606
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,120
If it feels like a little bit 
too busy. 

607
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,600
I get the idea. 
I think. 

608
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,880
I think it's it's fine, but I 
agree. 

609
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,320
I think without the sort. 
Of funny. 

610
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,840
Tilting weird thing. 
Just picking up items like you 

611
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,920
do in Mario Kart isn't, I think 
is enough. 

612
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,680
You know, like I don't. 
Yeah, like you don't have to do 

613
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,000
any more than that. 
Be good. 

614
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,440
I mean, 'cause that's basically 
what it is. 

615
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,520
It's just a bunch of Mario Kart 
items in in this game. 

616
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,800
Yeah, in tennis. 
You leave, you leave nanners on 

617
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,360
the ground like you attach a 
banana to the ball and wherever 

618
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,640
it bounces, it stays there on 
the other. 

619
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,640
Side yeah, yeah, the key. 
The key is to also milk that 

620
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,600
mode a little bit too, and put 
the banana on before your serve 

621
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,640
or as you're serving and then 
it'll half. 

622
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,520
It has to hit the the ground 
first, it has to hit the court 

623
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,080
before it actually gets to the 
person. 

624
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,800
So it automatically is. 
I love. 

625
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,560
'Cause they can't, like, smack 
it back on you. 

626
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,760
Yeah, exactly. 
So it's only when it hits the 

627
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,000
ground that it actually sits. 
You know it can be on. 

628
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,480
If you're just rallying back and
forth, back and forth against 

629
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,360
each other, then it actually 
doesn't doesn't work that way. 

630
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,840
But yeah, I, I, oh, I guess I 
played it a little bit. 

631
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:32,720
I didn't even realize it's it's 
it's it's it's OK. 

632
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,200
It's OK. 
It's, yeah. 

633
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,560
It's fine. 
I prefer the I. 

634
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,320
Prefer the ring one. 
And I think, yeah, you're right 

635
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,600
that the items are enough. 
I mean, I remember there being a

636
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:48,200
not to like compare the GameCube
Camelot Mario sports games, the 

637
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,720
64 Camelot Mario sports games. 
I remember there being a lot 

638
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:59,000
more side stuff in the game Cube
One, but I don't like the game 

639
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,120
Cube ones like gameplay, like 
the tennis aspect. 

640
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,000
Oh, the actual gameplay. 
OK. 

641
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:10,600
Yeah, like like the superpowers.
I I I think it just like it. 

642
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,360
It it leads to the same things 
happening over and over again 

643
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,800
and I think you just just get 
rid of it. 

644
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,800
I don't, I don't like it. 
Just play tennis. 

645
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Yeah, if you overload it, it 
feels like that. 

646
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,240
That's one of the things that I 
mentioned when I was when I did 

647
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,720
the Mario Golf Episode 2 is 
like, it's just it's very 

648
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240
simple. 
The set up of Mario Golf, and 

649
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,000
most of this game too, is pretty
simple. 

650
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,920
Just play the sport, just go and
play it and do a tournament 

651
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,840
that's better. 
I think. 

652
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,680
Feel like they're a little bit 
too short in my opinion, but 

653
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,440
they're still fine. 
Mario Golf's the same thing. 

654
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,760
Play the tournament, pick your 
character, get a few like coins,

655
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,760
unlock some stuff. 
You maybe have to go back and 

656
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,800
win the tournament again to get 
more coins or points or whatever

657
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,560
to get the next. 
Cool, fine, no problem, right? 

658
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,960
But when you when you put a 
little too much into it, then it

659
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,280
feels like now you're not 
playing that. 

660
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,719
Now you're just playing some 
arcade thing with an overloaded 

661
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,679
sort of crowding of of items 
and. 

662
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:18,840
Where where is the, the Switch 
one that came out the Mario 

663
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,719
Tennis Aces. 
Yeah, I never played. 

664
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,120
I liked, I didn't play it. 
I liked that one. 

665
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,840
The balance of the superpowers 
they give you. 

666
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,840
But like you have a meter that 
you're trying to fill up and you

667
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,239
can use that meter to like save 
yourself. 

668
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,040
Like it creates this back and 
forth of like, you know you have

669
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,120
choices and and what are you 
going to do with that? 

670
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,679
Where is where is with the game 
cube. 

671
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:49,239
One you use your superpower and 
then they use their super save 

672
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,880
and then you use the superpower 
and they use their super save or

673
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,480
like whatever, it just keep it's
the same thing over and over. 

674
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,320
Like you said, it's a little bit
boring, a little bit repetitive 

675
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,800
of of a cycle kind. 
Of thing. 

676
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,440
Yeah, like it should be cool. 
And like, you know, when Luigi's

677
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,640
using his mansion vacuum to suck
the ball up and everything, 

678
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,000
like, that's cool? 
Yeah, yeah. 

679
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,360
But it just gets after a while, 
it's like, OK, it's it just kind

680
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,800
of gets boring again. 
Let's just play tennis at this 

681
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,600
point. 
I mean because. 

682
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,840
Because again, it's. 
Turned it off. 

683
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,960
Because again if if like the the
mechanic of tennis or of golf or

684
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,360
of the soccer games or baseball 
games that they've done. 

685
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,120
If that plays well you you just 
don't need the other stuff as 

686
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,400
much and and that's fine. 
And I think that's why this is a

687
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,120
good game to kind of always go 
back to and stuff too because it

688
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,440
still has that. 
It always feels like it's always

689
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,600
a core set of mechanics that 
that work I think and just 

690
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,040
enough different types of of 
characters where some are speed 

691
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,280
some are the the technical, 
which I I agree with you, I 

692
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,240
don't really know what they do 
I. 

693
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:55,360
I don't either I. 
Don't I? 

694
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,240
Maybe. 
Maybe the spin and stuff is 

695
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,480
stronger. 
Maybe that's what it is. 

696
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,960
I should look it up. 
But that would be that would be 

697
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:03,760
my guess. 
I'm gonna. 

698
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,840
I'm gonna look it up. 
Actually, Mario, I should have. 

699
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,280
Whatever it is, I don't jive 
with it. 

700
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,440
Yeah, I don't. 
I don't. 

701
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,480
I don't like it. 
Mario Tennis Technical technical

702
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,200
specifications No, that's 
probably not it. 

703
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,320
Yeah, I don't. 
I don't. 

704
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,880
We don't need the specs for this
game. 

705
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:28,840
Technical characters. 
Technique. 

706
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,600
Oh yeah, Technique characters, 
yeah. 

707
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,600
Oh, they're able to pinpoint 
parts of the court a little bit 

708
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,200
more so you can pick your 
corners. 

709
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,680
So a little bit better accuracy,
I guess. 

710
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,240
And in later games they have 
better footwork. 

711
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:46,320
So whatever that means for 
better footwork and stuff, so. 

712
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,040
The accuracy I could see 'cause 
I was like whenever I would get 

713
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,920
my purple shots in, they were 
just hitting the corners, so 

714
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,600
that's cool. 
OK. 

715
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,760
So it's that's something, I mean
I think, I think that matters, I

716
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,680
mean it's going to matter in 
tennis, especially if you want 

717
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,080
to hit it across court and 
stuff. 

718
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,080
So OK. 
I wasn't hitting it out of 

719
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,600
bounds as much as I probably 
would have as Ouija. 

720
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,240
Sure, exactly. 
Wailing on it. 

721
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:14,200
Or of the power characters who 
just pretty much, you know, 

722
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,280
Wario and and Donkey Kong and 
Bowser, just I I like playing as

723
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,560
them, but they also feel a 
little bit slow, like they 

724
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,200
should, I think. 
I like that. 

725
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,800
I like playing against them. 
You'd like playing against them.

726
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,920
Because they're slow. 
Oh, because they're slow. 

727
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,560
Yeah, as long as you can get. 
As long as you can get back from

728
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,200
the the serve, you got a chance.
That's the key, 'cause they have

729
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,480
a a significantly stronger serve
which which is tough to serve in

730
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,320
this. 
If you if you get against a 

731
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,680
power character and and you 
can't return that serve, well 

732
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,400
you're you're it's it's hard to 
recover. 

733
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,640
It takes you a few hits to kind 
of recover back from that. 

734
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,640
So I I I think it's I like, I 
like the balance of the 

735
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,800
characters the the technical or 
technique characters. 

736
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,320
I guess that makes sense and 
more accurate. 

737
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,120
That works. 
Let's. 

738
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,920
Let that one go out of bounds, 
buddy. 

739
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,680
I know, I saw that too. 
You just, yeah, I mean, I won 

740
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,520
anyway, 'cause like, suck it 
while Luigi. 

741
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,400
But was gonna say, oh, that's 
the other thing. 

742
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,880
Since we're talking about some 
of some of the characters, I 

743
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:21,240
have a a list of different names
for the characters in the 

744
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:25,040
Japanese version of this game 
and also the. 

745
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,440
Characters right here. 
Yeah, and also the audio 

746
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,880
recording of what each of what 
Mario says and the characters 

747
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,760
say in the game when it's like 
when you choose them. 

748
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,600
So I have to. 
So so is is Don junior in this? 

749
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:39,160
No, I don't. 
I don't. 

750
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,360
Not as far as I know. 
Is he not one of the lockables? 

751
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,720
Who are the 2 unlockables? 
Unlockable. 

752
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,720
I thought it was. 
Oh my God, no. 

753
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:52,960
Why is it? 
I don't know. 

754
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,200
Why am I losing? 
I didn't unlock them. 

755
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,920
Oh, it's a shy guy. 
And Otis. 

756
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,520
Otis, it is Junior. 
You're right. 

757
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:03,160
It is Junior. 
Yeah. 

758
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:04,040
Yeah. 
Yeah, you're right. 

759
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,640
I was thinking of something else
for some reason. 

760
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,360
Yeah. 
Might be his last game. 

761
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,080
Oh. 
Until like very recently, like 

762
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,480
in the last few years. 
Right, Yeah. 

763
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,480
He just wasn't around for like 2
decades. 

764
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,040
Yeah, which it's so weird. 
So weird. 

765
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,560
Also, what's cool about this 
too. 

766
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaking of the Game Boy Color 
and other characters versions is

767
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,120
just like in Mario Golf you can 
import if you had the the 

768
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,360
adapter for six. 
Freaking import your characters 

769
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,520
from the Game Boy game into 
this. 

770
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,320
Love that I I modern. 
Technology, modern, modern 

771
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,360
technology kits. 
I know I 100% did that in Mario 

772
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,680
Golf, 'cause I also own that for
64. 

773
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,560
So I I definitely did that with 
the Gameboy Colour version, not 

774
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,280
with Advance, cause Advance was 
past this this time, but or at 

775
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,120
least it wasn't able to read it 
in in the adapter. 

776
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,520
But I I I love that idea. 
I think that is such a great 

777
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,360
idea. 
Not only 'cause it gives you an 

778
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,960
extra reason to have both games,
and I'm sure that works out for 

779
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,120
them financially, but. 
It it is fun. 

780
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,120
It's fun to do that. 
I mean, it's just a created 

781
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,920
character. 
It's not anything too special or

782
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,160
whatever, but. 
No, it's cool. 

783
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,680
I wish I could do it. 
I know. 

784
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,160
I wish I could do it too. 
I I I need that adapter because 

785
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,760
I have the actual Mario Tennis 
that I need. 

786
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,640
I need Mario Tennis for. 
I got a character on there. 

787
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:32,880
There you go exactly. 
I have probably created 70 

788
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,280
different characters in Mario 
Golf on Gameboy, So one of them 

789
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,800
over the years. 
Gotta make it one of them's. 

790
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,400
Gotta make it in, right? 
OK, where's the? 

791
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,200
I'm gonna find the characters 
thing here. 

792
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,680
I have to switch my screen so we
can both hear it. 

793
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:51,200
Change the windows. 
I think now should work. 

794
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,200
You can see it. 
I do like how at the beginning 

795
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,960
of the game, in that cutscene, 
Donkey Kong's just kind of like 

796
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:05,240
there, you know, he's like, oh, 
oh, this is oh, this is scary, I

797
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:06,200
guess. 
Or something. 

798
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,320
Like, he's not really. 
He's nonplussed about all this. 

799
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,040
Like, you know, he's not really 
a member of the family. 

800
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:17,040
He hasn't been around since 
Mario Tzaki. 

801
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,760
Kong Junior. 
Really so. 

802
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,600
He's bringing and bringing the 
boy back and stuff too, right? 

803
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,240
For for one last time, 
apparently. 

804
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,000
Or one. 
I mean, that's like, that's it 

805
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,120
that they haven't been around 
really, other than like sports 

806
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,960
games and party games like. 
That's it, man. 

807
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,520
They. 
Donkey Kong 94, One of the best 

808
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,400
games ever made, yes? 
Also, so maybe that was the last

809
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,560
time. 
Yes, that's true. 

810
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,240
That's true. 
There's there's a lot of missed 

811
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:45,840
opportunities. 
I think with with a wide variety

812
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,560
of Donkey Kong characters. 
I would say Dixie is number one 

813
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,240
in my book. 
Where the hell has Dixie Been? 

814
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:59,120
Don't by Microsoft. 
I I mean, maybe, maybe, I, I 

815
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,800
don't know for sure. 
But the I'm pretty sure the last

816
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,400
time she was in a game, like as 
a playable character or even at 

817
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,640
all, is Diddy Kong Racing for DS
or 3DS, whichever one it was. 

818
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,080
Yeah, DSDS. 
That's that's it. 

819
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,640
So that's 20 years ago. 
Like, come on, come on. 

820
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,280
Goodness. 
Come on, what are you gonna do? 

821
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,080
There are a number of names on 
here. 

822
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,720
So the international versions, 
which are considered, you know, 

823
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:27,520
North America and Europe and 
everything, will be the names 

824
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,320
that we recognize. 
Berto, Boo, Bowser, Paratroopa, 

825
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,680
Shy Guy and Toad. 
But they have corresponding 

826
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,880
Japanese names that are not 
anywhere close to that. 

827
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:47,360
So Berto is actually called 
Catherine Catherine. 

828
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,720
Catherine. 
Catherine. 

829
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:55,280
Yeah, Boo is Teresa. 
Teresa or Teresa? 

830
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,880
Teresa, I guess. 
Bowser. 

831
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:04,920
Is the idea comes from, you 
know, someone's wife nagging 

832
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,680
them for like, you know, working
their entire existence at 

833
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,400
Nintendo, developing a game. 
Is that where it comes from? 

834
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:20,040
I did not know that. 
Yeah, I think it's it's, oh, oh,

835
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:26,400
why am I blanking on my favorite
Tzuka. 

836
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,480
Tzuka. 
Tzuka. 

837
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,280
Not Tzuka. 
Tzuka. 

838
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,560
So yeah, Tzuka's wife was like, 
you. 

839
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,440
You work entirely too much. 
Which she's right. 

840
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,160
Well, probably, yeah. 
And they like, slept there, so 

841
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,960
but yeah, that's where that 
comes from. 

842
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,400
I did not know that. 
Oh, yeah. 

843
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,400
OK, I see it now. 
Yeah. 

844
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,600
Yeah, so. 
Oh yeah, What? 

845
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,720
I didn't know that. 
So Teresa, I guess, is was her 

846
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:54,920
name maybe Teresa? 
I don't know if that's her name.

847
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:55,880
I don't know. 
Maybe. 

848
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,920
But I know that's where booze 
come from, so that makes sense. 

849
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,600
I would have a have. 
A human name for it. 

850
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,400
Yeah, Bowser, They. 
Still call Bowser. 

851
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,400
Kupa Bowser simply. 
Just call him Bowser. 

852
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,360
I know. 
I mean, Bowser's a cool name 

853
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,320
until the guy that now runs 
Nintendo is named Bowser, which 

854
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,480
is a little weird. 
It's funny, It is. 

855
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,920
It's so funny. 
It's it was like it was meant to

856
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,200
be. 
How did this not happen yet? 

857
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,920
What was taking this guy so 
long? 

858
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,960
Like, yeah, so he's just Koopa. 
Paratroopa is Pata. 

859
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,400
Pata. 
Pata Pata. 

860
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,400
Pata, Pata. 
I like the way he says. 

861
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,960
It. 
It's a nice I. 

862
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,120
It's weird but it's fine unless 
I guess it has a meaning. 

863
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,560
We just don't know. 
Shy guy is hey Ho hey. 

864
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,960
Ho, I love that. 
Like. 

865
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,840
I want to call him that. 
I I think, I think what's funny 

866
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,680
is like, it's funny that they're
different names, but the way 

867
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,800
that they're voiced in Mario 
Tennis, like Hey Ho and Pata 

868
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,440
Pata, like they sound pretty 
good. 

869
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,480
Like, I like the voice over of 
it better than Shy Guy, you 

870
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,680
know? 
Good job, Charles. 

871
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,640
Yeah, right, exactly. 
Yeah. 

872
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,800
He's, he's got a sound good. 
Yeah. 

873
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,680
And then Toad is Pinnopio I 
think. 

874
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,040
Pinnopio. 
Pinnopio. 

875
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,200
It's like it's like Pinocchio 
but Keynopio. 

876
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,720
But Keynopio, I thought that 
was. 

877
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,560
I thought that was really fun 
and funny. 

878
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,040
I think I think it's kind of 
cool that that that's actually a

879
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,640
thing and is able for me to 
find. 

880
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,400
So I'm gonna give myself a pat 
on the back. 

881
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,480
I think it's funny that they 
just like recycled the voices 

882
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,960
from the Japanese voices from 
Mario Kart 64. 

883
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,960
Yeah. 
For Mario Party One, So they 

884
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,320
like it was like, ah, just throw
those in there, just it's fine. 

885
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:49,440
It's it's OK. 
It's enough. 

886
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,600
We also we don't have the 
apparently we don't have the 

887
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,320
time and space to to make 
something new. 

888
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,080
So just. 
Oh, I missed. 

889
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,920
Yeah, it's OK. 
When it really comes down to it,

890
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Mario Tennis is a fantastic 
game. 

891
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:10,160
I think it's really great. 
I I think it's one of the best 

892
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,840
or better sports games, at least
so far. 

893
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,120
I know I've, I've sort of 
haven't played all of them or 

894
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,600
replayed all of them since 
starting the show and 

895
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,880
everything. 
But so far this and Mario Golf 

896
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,160
are really damn good, man. 
Like they're just they're just 

897
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,120
sharp. 
They're just fun. 

898
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,840
They're easy to pick up. 
It's Arcadie but but also kind 

899
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,040
of SIM. 
Yeah, yeah, exactly. 

900
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,480
Yeah, I do wish, and I think I 
said this about Mario Golf as 

901
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,000
well. 
I do really wish that these 

902
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,520
games had the RPG Ish stuff of 
the Gameboy titles. 

903
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,720
I think if if they could have 
pulled that off, I really like 

904
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,000
these would have been the best 
games of all time like these 

905
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,520
would have. 
Just that's where that's why you

906
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:57,760
play the Gameboy one. 
Yeah, the The Golf, The Switch 

907
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:58,840
Golf. 
That was supposed to be. 

908
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,000
The point was that they were 
adding in like the RPG aspect of

909
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,160
it and it and it was OK, but it 
it didn't really. 

910
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,120
It was just nothing to do in 
that game, man. 

911
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,160
It was just let down. 
I was disappointed too, because 

912
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,760
because I was so in love with 
the previous ones. 

913
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,400
I was like this this is going to
be. 

914
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,920
It's awesome that there's like 
RPG thing is in there and 

915
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,040
everything. 
I totally agree. 

916
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,680
I totally agree with you. 
They're doing the console and 

917
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,440
the handheld all in one package.
It's going to be great. 

918
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,520
No, no, no, it wasn't. 
Yeah. 

919
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,840
It it was, I think the golf part
of it, you know, felt OK and 

920
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,280
everything but. 
Yeah, it's a fine golf game, 

921
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,600
yeah. 
But just a fine golf game. 

922
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,560
Like just. 
All I wanted was, yeah, all I 

923
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,640
wanted was Gamecube's Toadstool 
tour online. 

924
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,360
That's all I want. 
You mean that I'm happy because 

925
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,080
I like Toadstool Tour better? 
Oh, do you? 

926
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:52,440
OK. 
I have so little experience with

927
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,720
that one that I can't say like, 
oh, that's the one I want. 

928
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,360
There there's more quality of 
life features in it and I really

929
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,400
love it. 
And that's all I need in my life

930
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,680
is online Toadstool Tour, so I'm
sure there's some way to do it 

931
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,040
with Dolphin. 
I just don't know. 

932
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,360
There's probably a way, yeah. 
I was just going to say there's 

933
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,040
there's got to be a way 
somewhere, yeah. 

934
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,000
Nintendo would just give us the 
damn GameCube channel. 

935
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,880
Oh my God. 
Just like just make it happen. 

936
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,360
I have so little experience with
GameCube. 

937
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,840
I would absolutely love that. 
Yeah, just like, I don't care. 

938
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,360
Even if it's just like five 
games and that's all we get. 

939
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,560
And one of them's Geist. 
I don't care. 

940
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,560
As long as one of them is that, 
yeah. 

941
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,080
Oh, well, I don't. 
I don't need one of them to be 

942
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,160
Geist. 
But I won't care when Geist 

943
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,520
shows up. 
Like, that's fine. 

944
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:37,880
Whatever. 
We finally got our thing. 

945
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,800
At least we got what we need 
otherwise. 

946
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,800
Yeah. 
Like, yeah, People I know who do

947
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,480
not care about tennis got real 
into this game. 

948
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,160
Sure. 
In a serious way, yeah. 

949
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,520
And which speaks to the 
testament of It's just solid. 

950
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,680
You can pick it up, you can play
it, you know, tell people like, 

951
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,480
hey, tap the button a little 
earlier to get your power shot 

952
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,360
and them both at the same time 
to get your power shot. 

953
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:08,800
But that's really all you need 
to know. 

954
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:11,840
That's that's fine. 
That's totally fine, you know, 

955
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,640
and and I think like you said, 
you're, you're picking up, oh, 

956
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,120
here's my little boob play that 
I could not figure out. 

957
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,360
Oh God, I guess the piranhas. 
Yeah, I guess the Piranhas too. 

958
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,560
Yeah, I I was missing shots all 
over the place. 

959
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:25,760
I think. 
What's good about this too, like

960
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,000
you mentioned earlier, picking 
up and and playing it at at 

961
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,000
random times or picking up and 
yeah, see, I was just like going

962
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:38,320
right through the ball. 
Hey, I got one. 

963
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:47,440
So bad it It really is tough to.
It looks it looks like I am just

964
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,360
I have never played a sports 
game in my life watching this 

965
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,840
replay, right? 
Now, but if you like, if you 

966
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,760
like really back up what like a 
the slice, the B button. 

967
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,720
But you can get that thing to 
hook like around Wario. 

968
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,280
I think that's why I played 
those characters growing up, 

969
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,280
because I was like, oh man, I I 
can, I can do these shots now. 

970
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,840
I just couldn't figure it out 
but. 

971
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,880
Yeah, but you'll get there. 
I'll I'll get there. 

972
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,080
So that and, and that's what's 
great too. 

973
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,280
Like, honestly, this is one of 
those games that I think it's 

974
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,480
great that this is one that they
put on Switch, 'cause it's 

975
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,320
definitely a game where you 
could just play a tournament for

976
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,360
15 minutes, play one of these 
Piranha matches for 10 minutes. 

977
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,400
You know you can do that with 
games. 

978
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,920
Like this? 
Exactly. 

979
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,240
I think, I think it's it's 
definitely one of those games 

980
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,920
that benefits from that and and 
that's great. 

981
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,600
I I think that's one of the one 
of the few I I have. 

982
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,960
I have some issues with the 
choices of what they have on 

983
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,160
Switch Online between this and 
especially Game Boy. 

984
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,240
It's just not enough. 
There's not enough. 

985
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:49,960
I I know it's not that simple, 
but come on. 

986
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,680
But at least. 
This is on there, at least 

987
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,360
there's not. 
It's like like more please, more

988
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,520
like. 
Yeah, add more stuff to your 

989
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,920
service, please. 
Especially Game Boy Advance. 

990
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,880
What are they doing? 
Gosh, Donkey Kong 94 is not even

991
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:10,080
on the Game Boy. 
Like, like DK 94 needs to be on 

992
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,040
that. 
Whatever. 

993
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,760
I don't. 
Let's not. 

994
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,200
Let's not. 
Let's not get into. 

995
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,400
It. 
But yeah, I like this game a 

996
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,440
lot, as do I. 
You know, just sometimes it's 

997
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,480
just one of those things where 
like, like, Oh my God, I'm like,

998
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,440
I've gotten really good at this 
game again. 

999
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,680
I don't know why, Like, like my 
friends and I just happened to 

1000
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,280
be around and like all of a 
sudden we're doing tournaments 

1001
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,520
of this game. 
Yes, yes. 

1002
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,200
And it's fun. 
It is. 

1003
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,160
It's a lot of fun overall. 
If you haven't played it before 

1004
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,720
or haven't played it for a very 
long time. 

1005
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,040
Play Mario Tennis people. 
I I, you know if it's if you're 

1006
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,320
sort of on the fence about it. 
We've kind of been raving about 

1007
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,040
it here and there and at some 
points but like just just play 

1008
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,120
this game it is. 
It is a recommended play whether

1009
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,120
you have Switch online or where 
they have another way of playing

1010
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,040
it. 
I think you're just gonna have a

1011
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,000
good time, plain and simple. 
I think you're just going to 

1012
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,560
have a good time with this. 
Yeah, it is good. 

1013
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,200
So it's. 
Exactly what you want out of a 

1014
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,560
tennis game. 
In a lot of ways, what you'd 

1015
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,400
expect, but not in a bad way. 
You know it, it doesn't doesn't 

1016
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,480
necessarily surprise you, but 
that's OK. 

1017
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,280
It does what it needs to do and 
does it well. 

1018
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,760
And I think that's really the 
the best way. 

1019
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,760
It doesn't do too much, which 
like I said, maybe some more 

1020
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:26,640
side game features. 
But for the most part, you know,

1021
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,840
there's a lot here. 
You can just keep playing tennis

1022
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:30,800
with your friends. 
That's cool. 

1023
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,560
Yeah, yeah, especially with 
other people. 

1024
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,120
It is a perfect game for that. 
So I agree, Mario Tennis now 

1025
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,440
behind us on Remember 64, but 
more Mario games and sports 

1026
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,240
titles coming, lots of them. 
We have lots of them. 

1027
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,880
We have sport I I guess, I guess
you could call racing games, 

1028
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,600
sport games, but. 
Racing is sport. 

1029
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,480
Racing is a sport, but is San 
Francisco Rush a sport? 

1030
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,160
Sir is San. 
Francisco, San Francisco. 

1031
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Rush is life, Rush's life. 
Rush's life. 

1032
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,920
So the reason why I'm mentioning
that is because no matter when 

1033
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,280
we end up doing it or how we end
up doing it, Luigi has always 

1034
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:12,280
raved about the Rush games, 
especially two, and we are 100% 

1035
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,560
going to be doing that together.
I am very excited because one of

1036
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,080
the games that you said way back
when that you really wanted to 

1037
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:20,840
play were the Kengriff Junior 
games. 

1038
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:27,280
I had a great time with those. 
I fully expect to be loving the,

1039
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:30,400
or at least very much enjoying 
myself playing the Rush game. 

1040
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,840
So I I'm excited for that, so. 
Rush is a good another example 

1041
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:40,040
of a good arcade. 
Slash SIM combo. 

1042
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,360
Yeah, yeah. 
But what you really want to be 

1043
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:47,720
doing is playing Rush 2 Stunt 
mode and just like trying to 

1044
00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:51,120
spin those cars as many times as
you can while landing all four 

1045
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,200
tires on the ground and not 
blowing up. 

1046
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,640
OK, OK. 
Yeah, go go find stunt mode on 

1047
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:05,000
two and just let that become 
your new religion 'cause it's 

1048
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,440
great. 
Well, I've I fully. 

1049
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,880
I am. 
I am all in on trying this. 

1050
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,080
We're not gonna put an exact 
date on it yet for everybody 

1051
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,720
that's listening, but we will. 
But we will be doing it. 

1052
00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:18,040
And there is no way anyone else 
is going to be doing that 

1053
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,160
episode but you, Sir. 
Because hell yeah, not only is 

1054
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,760
it always a joy to be talking to
you about games and have you 

1055
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,720
with me on the show, but but to 
play games that, that, that a 

1056
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:32,400
guest or anyone else brings that
really has a passion for it, 

1057
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,200
that I've never played. 
That's what I love about doing 

1058
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,000
this is being able to experience
those. 

1059
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,280
So very excited, very excited to
tease ahead to that. 

1060
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,480
Yeah, I I want to make you play 
Ogre Battle, but I don't want to

1061
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,600
make you play Ogre Battle. 
That's the other one. 

1062
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,640
So that's going to be you know 
what it is we'll we'll also 

1063
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,240
queue that up. 
But it's going to have to be 

1064
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:54,200
like this long term, like, hey, 
we planned for it and six months

1065
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,520
later, we've got it behind now 
we're now we're ready. 

1066
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:01,520
Like even back back, way back 
when I was like this, this has 

1067
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,640
to be like a multi like we have 
to, yeah. 

1068
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:05,480
Multi step. 
Process. 

1069
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,840
It would be a check in sort of 
thing. 

1070
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,960
That's totally fine with me. 
I'm down with that. 

1071
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,440
So it's going to be an Ogre 
battle series almost. 

1072
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,400
Almost because that's that's 
always what I've always wanted 

1073
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,680
to do with that game is have a 
very you know long play series 

1074
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,600
with it because it is it's a lot
that's. 

1075
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:22,480
OK. 
A lot is OK. 

1076
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,440
But it's it's a lot of good 
stuff so and and I I was playing

1077
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,240
that a lot this year because I 
was getting really excited for 

1078
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:33,640
Unicorn Overlord and now Unicorn
Overlord is here. 

1079
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,840
That has arrived. 
It's very Ogre Battle 64. 

1080
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,640
It's it's what I wanted. 
So I'm happy with that. 

1081
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,720
Excellent, excellent. 
OK, everyone. 

1082
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:45,280
So that's that's a little tease 
ahead for what we're going to 

1083
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,400
work on together.
