All the numbers show Nintendo Switch 2 is selling great and breaking all sorts of records and it seems like people are having fun with the games but does it feel like a lot of the conversations you see are rooting for Nintendo to fail? We dig into all the reasons why this might be happening. We also have a massive news section in this podcast talking all about the Pokopia game key card issue, the leaks around The Super Mario Galaxy movie and much more. We're playing some new super fun indie games and we're also deep into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. We also answer some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. Settle on in. A lot of stuff coming your way!

| 0:00.0 | Today, Nintendo Search 2 is breaking all sorts of records. |
| 0:13.0 | And it's definitely a great time to be a Nintendo fan, but why does it seem like so many people are rooting for Nintendo to fail? |
| 0:22.7 | Yeah, so it is this interesting spectrum of feelings and emotions and things that you see out there. |
| 0:28.6 | It's like, wow, we are breaking records. |
| 0:31.4 | All these games are coming out. |
| 0:33.2 | We're now in the busy holiday season. |
| 0:34.9 | There's so much to play. |
| 0:36.0 | And yet you go talk to people online |
| 0:39.0 | and it's just a lot of negativity so it's like what is actually going on here we're going to |
| 0:45.4 | try and get to the bottom of it today we do need to get to the bottom of it because it's a very |
| 0:49.7 | strange phenomenon that I think could only happen in the year 2025. |

It's on the channel. I'm projecting because this is future me. I'm guessing it's going to be awesome that I was excited about it. And days of old figures would descend from the heavens to tell you what to expect. These days you get a cookie. I want a cookie. What to expect? Those cookies look good. They look. I want to bake some cookies. I do. You want some soup, too. I want the Pokemon Campbell soup and I want this Pillsbury Mario Galaxy cookie. And yet you've done literally nothing. Why don't the cookies are actually out yet? |
| 1:45.7 | You can get that soup, I'll bet you. I need to get some soup. Get some soup. Yes. Get on the soup. But yes, we will have that reaction up by the time you are listening or watching to this.

| 2:03.1 | ZA spoiler cast. How exciting. We both finished the game or did a little bit of the post |
| 2:09.4 | game. I clocked almost 40 hours in Pokemon ZA, which was a surprise to even me. Because |
