We are back with a report from Gamescom, which means we'll be talking Lego Batman, Resident Evil Requiem,

Holo Night's Silk Song, and more. Plus Nintendo was reportedly discouraging developers from making Switch 2 games,

and we've been playing stuff like Metal Gear Solid Delta and Shinobi Art of Vengeance.

All coming up on GameSoup right after these messages. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Aijian GamesCoop. I'm your host, Damon Hadfield. And joining me this week are Sam Claiborne.

Thank you. Thank you, yeah.

Good to be back. Sorry, I don't like being away from Scoop Nation for so long. Justin and I were in Germany for Gamescom, and the schedules just didn't line up to do a GameSoup there. However, we did do an action console watch with their, uh, there over there with, um, Max and Jada. And I think it turned out great, so hopefully you checked that out.

Oh, I got to check that up.

Yeah, I'm glad you guys did that.

I was really, really... they're over there with Max and Jada. And I think it turned out great, so hopefully you checked that out.

Oh, I got to check that out.

Yeah, I'm glad you guys did that. I was really, really doing the Game Scoop FOMO not being in Germany this year. But we'll do another German scoop. Yeah. Yep. Let's just schedule it now. I'll just have Tanner put on on calendars for next year right now. Then we have to go. Let's do a Friday so we can have beers.

Yeah, yeah, yep.

That sounds great to me.

Well, we got a great show for this week.

We have the Curious Case. Then we have to go. Let's do a Friday so we can have beers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That sounds great to me. Well, we got a great show for this week. We have the curious case of Nintendo reportedly trying to discourage developers from making Switch 2 games and having them make Switch 1 games instead. Get into that. Plus, as much of stuff we've been playing, I know, Sam, can you finally talk about Metal Youragosol Delta yeah although Mark and I have

probably played the same amount of it which is not not a whole lot but you know

not a time virtuous mission first first impressions for whatever you thought of that

hour long cutscene that hour long plus oh it's longer than that yeah I've been

playing Shinobi Art of Vengeance and I love it and I want to hear what Justin's been playing too. But first, yeah, GamesCom, Germany. It was a good show this year. We were there for, man, I was there for a long time. I was there for like nine days. Justin, boy. I just barely made my flight home. If I, another five minutes, I would not have made my flight. Wow, why? I got on the wrong. I got on the wrong train. They were, I got on the wrong train. And I was trying to do everything right. I bought my, so you know, we're in Cologne and then we fly out of Frankfurt. It's about an hour long train right away, usually. So I was trying to be good. I got my train ticket ahead of time. I'm at the train station early. I'm on my platform at the time and a train shows up, so I got on. I don't know why the wrong train would show up at that time, but anyway. How did you catch where the train was going wrong? A train is on a track. How does it get off? Like, how does it? Did you just see your station go by and you're like, hold on? It was just, it wasn't the express train. It was the slow train. That was the day. But like I got on and the ticket agent like scam my ticket and she goes, Wunderbar, because Whatever that means. Well, it's because you can use the ticket for any train that's equal or lesser value. She didn't't tell me that I wasn't actually on the right train. She's just like, she assumed that I knew what I was doing. She assumed I knew what I was doing. And I was, I was checking on Google Maps. So we were going in the direction of the airport. So okay, everything's fine. But we were supposed to arrive at 11.50 a.m., which would be two hours before my flight.
