What's up and welcome back to the kind of funny games cast for Thursday, September 18,

2025. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Gettys. I'm joined today by two spectacular gentlemen.

We have Blessing Adioia Jr. Good day, Tim.

And Roger Percorny. Chow, chow. We have Barrett running the show, too. I feel like we got a kind of little dream team going on here. Talk about some cart racers. I wish I could join in on this. Did you play at all? No, I've not touched this game whatsoever. Okay. Well, these guys have played Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, and they're going to tell you all about it. Of course, this is the kind of funny games cast each and every weekday. We get together to talk about the biggest reviews, previews, and topics and video games live on YouTube, Twitch, and podcast services around the globe. If you love what we do, please support us with the kind of funny membership. You can get that on YouTube, Patreon, Spotify, or Apple podcast. Gets you the shows ad-free, and it gets you a daily exclusive Gregway. For a chance to be part of this show, though, please super chat in on YouTube. If you have any thoughts or questions about Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, please get them in here.

A little housekeeping for you. We're an 11-person business, all about live talk shows.

Games Daily was all about why Hollow Night Silk Song is so dang hard. Straight from the devs.

After this, we're doing a episode of the kind of funny screencast taking a week off of in-review to try something that has been pretty heavily requested by all, which is taking the idea that we've been doing on gamescast of every month, checking out every game coming out that month and doing kind of a hype check, but doing it for movies. We're going to do this episode, checking out all the movies coming out the rest of this year. We have three months left.

So let's see what we got going on.

I think that's me, Joey, and Nick. It's going to be a great time. Then after that, the stream's going to be Lego Voyagersers with Mike and Nick. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Gregway is Greg's 27-minute rat-hats and review so far. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delini, the Somme twining.

Today, we're brought to you by Shady Race and Factor, but we'll tell you all about that later. Let's get right to it, the topic of the show. Tots, Tots, Tots, Tots, Tots, Tons, Tons, Tons, Sonic Racing Cross Worlds. This is our official review.

Currently, it's sitting at an 83 on Metacritic.

The game is releasing on Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Windows, Xbox 1 Xbox Series on September 25th, 2025,

with the Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for a later date, quote on quote.

I was so certain that we're going to get that date during like the Nintendo Direct and we're probably going to get some, I don't know, put Mario in it, you know what I thought? Mario was just in a cart racer. Yeah, they'll love each other now. They're all kissing, they're all in the Olympics. They're all for the last processing. You see the commercial of them talking shit? Yeah.

Yeah.

That's marketing teams.

Yeah, I mean, like in reality, they love each other. It was developed by Sonic Team with members of the initial D-Arcade game helping. Oh, wow. Pretty interesting. That's actually really neat. I didn't know that. It is. It is. make sense. So I played a bit

of this a couple weekends

ago during the open network test. A fair

fair amount, a couple hours, I would say. But not enough at all to give a review. But you boys, you have. Is that correct? Blessing has. I played enough to talk about it for sure. But like, I think my general thing that I've realized in playing this game, I was very excited

for this game.

And then I picked it up and I'm playing this for review. And I'm like, I don't think I've ever critically thought about a cart racer in my life. Like, I've played a lot of cart racers, but I've never really sat down. I'm like, huh, what makes this good? I just usually pick these up and go, oh, I go fast with my friends, and then I turn it off, and then I never think about it again.
