Welcome. Welcome to Nintendo Voice Chat IGN's official podcast dedicated to all things Nintendo. I'm your host. Happy

Lee and joining me today is my partner in crime. Rev Valentine. Hi, cat. I'm so glad that you described me that way.

Partner in crime over on news team news. Let's go. Yeah, I can't wait this the other way.

It works. Also joining me is nominal. Nintendo voice chat host Seth Macy. Hello, former team news freelance.

Way back one. Also, former one up a cohort as well. That is true. I that's where I got started. I used to write the Netflix ad

to Q blog because that was such a new thing streaming Netflix had its own blog. And who is our special guest? I don't know. I think it's John from Nintendo life.

Hey, welcome, John Cartwright to Nintendo Nintendo voice chat. It's great to have you. That's great to be on here. Yes, we have a lot to cover E3 2021 is officially underway.

Well, sort of summer game fest just happened. Some announcements happened. They were not necessarily Nintendo switch related, but we will cover a couple of them.

We'll also be talking about the switch pro reveal that did not happen. And why that might have been. And finally, we've got a lot of other news as well. So we will be getting all that and talking about game builder grudge, which is available.

I got a yeah from the audience right there. So all right, let's get to it. Summer game fest, not a lot of switch news, but while it's only available on PC, metal slug tactics. Am I right? That game.

We're incredible. Yeah, I was like, is this a metal slug game? It looks like it, but it's a tactics game too. And then I looked at the name of it. And I was like, wow, it's exactly what I thought it was going to be named. So that's very, very convenient and easy to figure out.

Yeah, the entire presentation worth it for that. I don't care if it was two hours of fineness, but metal slug makes it a worth it.

Yeah, there was this this game called Elden something, something that was also there by who cares metal slug tactics don't care. But it's by dot Emo who are also I believe working on a teenage mutant in

the turtles beat him up. I believe they also did a stretch of rage for right. So they have a history with the platform. And so I fully expect metal slug tactics to be coming to the Nintendo switch and frankly, it's going to be my game of the year when it does.

Like the perfect perfect game like the perfect fit for the Nintendo switch.

It does. And T loaps on the soundtrack to from Sonic Mania. I think he's also doing TNT as well. So he's getting around.

That's amazing. Awesome. Also shown over during summer game fest was another story trailer for Monster Hunter stories, which I got to say everybody that game is super flying under the radar. And I cannot what to play it. I've been playing so much Monster Hunter rise as anybody who's been listening to this podcast will tell you. And I got to say Monster Hunter stories looks glorious and as an RPG fan. I cannot wait to play it.

Do we know what they're doing with the battle system in this one? Because on 3DS I remember it was this sort of rock paper scissors kind of a fair. Is it the same here?

Good question. I am not sure it's like a turn based battle system for sure. I think it might be a slight evolution of the first game, which also flew under the radar. I think the main thing that grabs me is.

Now that I'm familiar with Monster Hunter somewhat I'm recognizing a lot of the monsters now. And I'm just really digging that kind of cel-shaded look. It has a real style to it.

Yeah, I go ahead. No, Rob. We want to hear what you have to say.

Thank you. I was just going to say, I mean, people who have heard me on this show before know that I just about so hard off Monster Hunter. I am so sorry, but.
