Chat Transcript:
7:02 PMhey all
7:06 PMI hope Rareware makes a come back someday.
7:09 PMAndrew, what do you think Retro Studios are working on? I have a theory, their new game ran into development issues and subsequently moved to the Switch towards the end of the Wii Us lifecycle
7:10 PMno worries7:10 PMRetro Studios should close their doors. It seems like Nintendo aren’t funding anything lately lol
7:11 PMbut im sure its going to be a Donkey Kong Country game.
7:12 PMnot against a new DK game, but would prefer Retro have a crack at another IP or one of their own
7:12 PMMessage deleted by Andrew Eisen.View deleted message
7:14 PMTropical Freeze wrapped up late 2013 but didn’t release till Feb 2014
7:15 PMNintendo will probably assign another IP of theirs.
7:16 PM[message retracted]
7:17 PMMakes sense they usually have Directs early in the year.
7:18 PMI think their saving Retro’s next game for E3
7:21 PMyeah I absolutely agree, Tropical Freeze is definitely one of the best 2D platforming games, extremely underrated game. I wouldn’t mind seeing this ported to the Switch in the near future
7:21 PMhey Andrew wanna have a drink with me I had a loonng night
7:22 PMI will say that I do hope the rumor of Soul Calibur 6 coming to Switch is true.
7:22 PMwe will know e3
7:22 PMI doubt they will revisit their canceled projects from the early gamecube days. They had a RPG in the works called Raven Blade
7:22 PMmario maker deserves a switch port
7:22 PMRare only surprising game for Microsoft was viva pinata
7:23 PMno more Wii U ports to switch
7:23 PMmaybe underexposed is the a better word haha
7:23 PMm,]
7:23 PMalready downing a glass of wine you’re late to the party
7:25 PMHey Andrew? Do you think Playstation 4 can regain interest in 2018? For them to have a moderate 2017 in gaming, I don’t feel like they delivered a lot of talk about games except Horizon
7:25 PMAnd Hellblalde
7:27 PMGrabbed by the ghoulies has some weird controls, but its a okay game.
7:27 PMAny debut reviews coming anytime soon in the near future?
7:27 PMthe music and art style are Rare
7:27 PMI am still a bit disappointing that metriod prime 4 isnt by retro
7:27 PMneed a nap just not in the mood to hang sorry
7:28 PMAgreed, God of War will deliver.
7:28 PMLost legacy
7:28 PMlost legacy
7:28 PMihellblade was on pc too
7:28 PMThe Lost Legacy
7:29 PMI think you should consider making a best of Square Enix Video Game names haha
7:29 PMdo not care abourt the x, I care about 60 fps too much
7:30 PMNo Xbox as well
7:30 PMnope Monster Hunter World is coming to One
7:30 PMits ps4, than pc a bit later
7:30 PMyup its xboiox as well
7:30 PMMonster Hunter World is coming out for both systems in January
7:31 PMyup
7:31 PMits mha
7:31 PMAcademia
7:31 PMI only played Monster Hunter on the PS2. Its was okay.
7:32 PMyup only very very large channals are exempt
7:33 PMNot yet, rumors have Bandai Namco making Metroid.
7:33 PMI dislike other m’s controls, have never been a fan of the wiimote
7:33 PMIts a new team. My guess a in-house team like NST but maybe not them.
7:34 PMNST made Metroid Prime Hunter
7:34 PMDid you ever have an arcade life and wish you can go back to three games that never came to consoles?
7:36 PMThe aiming in Other M was only for the missles
7:36 PMwhen you pointed it
7:36 PMyeah that control scheme for other m was pushed through by Sakamoto the creator of Metroid not Team Ninja
7:37 PMWho ever is working on MP4, I assume they are going to use the Unreal Engine 4.
7:38 PML.A. Machine Guns was awesome.
7:39 PMThere was a Wii port of L.A. Machine Guns
7:39 PMhave you ever played any of the legend of heroes games?
7:39 PMSega did the Jurassic Park game
7:39 PM[message retracted]
7:40 PMdo you think there will be another golden age of gaming? I miss the 90-00s era of gaming, game manuals, no season passes or day 1 patches & an abundance of creativity from across the industry
7:40 PMThey still have the Jurassic park arcade at Chuck-E-Cheese
7:40 PMWill take another industry crash for that to happen.
7:41 PMI’ understand why season passes, micro transactions and patches are done in the modern age, but I’m not the biggest fan of those practices especially when companies abuse them to no end
7:41 PMJurassic park was fun,it made you feel like you were in a real car going through the park.
7:43 PMPatches are good and bad, great that something can be fixed if need be but bad when used as a crutch.
7:43 PMjust avoiud the AAA and you will find we have more diamonds than ever
7:45 PMwhat do you think of that politician for Hawaii seguesting legislation to regulate loot boxs?
7:47 PMfrom
7:47 PMI remember photo booths in the 90s
7:47 PMthat was probably the last era of them
7:49 PMWhat do you think Platinum Games are working on? I know they are working on a Switch game, but not heard from them since Nier Automata released and Scalebound got cancelled.
7:49 PMWhat are your thoughts on the Net Neutrality situation?
7:52 PMmy hope is, its scares the esrb and the indastry in to self regulation, but I dont have much faith in that
7:53 PMI wouldn’t mind if they came out with, a sequel to Bayonetta 2 or Wonderful 101, but a new IP would be cool
7:53 PMgive me a nier Automata 2 personaly
7:53 PMHopefully new IP after Bayonetta 3.
7:54 PMscalebound looked bland
7:54 PMno real direction
7:58 PMI was really interested in Scalebound, yeah it looked rough at times, but Hideki Kamiya for me has never directed a game I didn’t enjoy playing
8:00 PMWhen are they suppose to have a vote on net nneutrality
8:02 PMagreed lmao punchable
8:04 PMYea I didn’t like that guy either
8:04 PMlol
8:06 PMAndrew Eisen immune to all reactions, except when you felt the Joycons for the first time :p
8:07 PMI don’t like the way Thanos looks now.
8:07 PMoff course reaction videos are staged/fake. Or maybe the content creators are on a high dosage of Adderall
8:10 PMThe old Superman theme is the best superhero theme ever,John Williams really knocked it out of the park.
8:12 PMyeah John Williams Superman theme was fantsstic
8:15 PMhaven’t seen the latest avengers movie :/
8:15 PMDanny Elfman’s Batman theme was great too.
8:18 PMAndrew, is there a single game franchise you would like to see make their way to the Switch that traditionally hasn’t been on a Nintendo console before?
8:18 PMI’ll try it at least once. Plus an amiibo.
8:18 PMI’m going to definitely try it.
8:19 PMLucky Charms is great eaten by the handful. ?
8:19 PMThere were Nintendo cereals in the early 90s.
8:20 PMI tried marshmallow fruity pebbles today,i liked it.
8:21 PMWhat if it were an entry from a franchise that was built exclusively for the Switch?
8:21 PMYakuza 1 and I think 2 were on Wii in Japan.
8:22 PMYakuza such an amazing franchise, maybe we’ll get those exclusive Japanese HD Wii U ports of the first two games haha
8:22 PMI didn’t know about them either,until today lol
8:22 PMSounds tasty
8:23 PMEww
8:24 PMI dunno wasn’t Disgeae 5 for Switch the best version of the game because it was essentially was the GOTY edition? that series traditionally hasn’t been on Nintendo consoles
8:25 PMDisgaea 1 came to DS.
8:25 PMoh wow had no idea that it came to the DS
8:25 PMSame developer
8:26 PMThe DS version has Prinny commentary.
8:28 PMOnimusha needs to definitely a make a comeback
8:28 PMThe developers have been too busy making Souls games.
8:29 PMWhat the hell is that a shadow of next to your shelves? I see it every video you make,it looks like a hobo clown with a caterpillar body wearing boxing gloves.
8:30 PMTrolling for the sake of trolling.
8:30 PMwho knows man, people are weird and starving for attention nowadays they’ll troll just for attention
8:31 PMO cool,that was really bugging me lol
8:31 PMI remember you had some trolls on your charity stream a few weeks back
8:32 PMmaybe its to elicit a reaction from you?
8:35 PMnot the same line of thought, but err bondage and weird sexual festishes exist, so its not unusual for some people to also be happy about trolling or acting like asses?
8:36 PMOccam’s razor – maybe their drunk?
8:37 PMI forgot all about Jack T.
8:37 PMAndrew what is your next switch game?
8:39 PMWho is Jack T.?
8:42 PMWhat do you hope dlc pack 2 will be about?
8:42 PMI remember your mom being a gamer, have you shown her the Switch? just wondering what an older gamer would think of it since my parents aren’t gamers sadly :/
8:42 PMEventually Zelda will be a Nintendo Select.
8:44 PMyeah that’s true, they may include the DLC since New Super Mario U was bundled with Luigi U for the Nintendo Selects range
8:47 PMYes DLC 2 – Champions Ballad needs to have the ability to play from the perspective of the champions, forgot about the missed opportunity in Skyward Sword with Zelda!
8:47 PMthe first dlc was kinda fun because it was challenging
8:48 PMAndrew is your ps4 HDD full yet?
8:49 PMmine is full and now I have to choose what games to be installed
8:50 PMHe means trial of the sword
8:51 PMno, I mean the trials
