Gene you’re the man. I don’t agree with you often but I could not agree with you more about FF7 Rebirth. I platinumed it. I loved it. But I can never play it again after getting that trophy.

I'm SO tired of listening to Gene on podcasts. The dude contributes absolutely nothing to the conversation, but thoughtless and snarky nonsense. Ironic because he actually works as a games journalist somehow. Doesn't sound like he even wants to be on this podcast. I'm done listening to this show. Such a waste of time.
Adam Martinez
Are you getting a switch 2? 👀

The Cosmo Canyon theme when you’re in the desert overworld. The kinda western sounding, twangy guitar is just fucking perfect. I really like the actual Cosmo Canyon theme as well, but that western one man. It just really hit me at the time I got there.

Gene I am right there with you on the music in Rebirth, oh my god it is incredible. I never played the OG FF7, tried to a few months back but I find it so hard to go back to..but the music in FF7 Rebirth made me tear up completely at times, I fxcking love it.
Tanner Denso
I mean… that would be a dream. I’m just a simple tradesman though.
Cormac
Would you like a job at nintendo?
Tanner Denso
I agree. Optimization will be the saving grace for those heftier titles.

Bro, blame Chris. I’m waiting on him lol

But “run on it” is such a low bar for hardware that isn’t even out yet…

Punching Up Nintendo Podcast supremacy era begins now.

Not weird enough for him, he would be the Wii U or the Ouya

David lynch didn’t die, he was just reincarnated into the switch 2

Glad to hear Gene is doing well and cancer free

Everyone told Micah Kingdom Come Deliverance on Switch would be be horrific. She did it anyway. She is an entity of pure will and self torture.
Tanner Denso
Thank you. Now that I’ve thought of it. I won’t be happy until Nintendo does it.

This idea rules.
Tanner Denso
My idea for a new Smash Bros. The single player mode where they did world of light starting with Kirby. Same thing. Except instead of walking around the over world map, you are in full 3D and visit different Nintendo worlds like in KH. Then you meet all the roster along the way in their worlds and when a fight starts the camera flips to the side view for a traditional smash fight. Smaller roster like the size of Melee.
Tanner Denso
Well if the specs that are also leaking are true and it’s comparable to a PS4 pro then there’s only maybe 10 modern games that are available right now that can’t run on it.
Christopher Gourley
Kid Icarus actually came with a 3DS stand to hold it because the controls were so bad

Gene: “I’m consooomiiing.”
Lee Davies
If they really do have a mouse, it would be great for Minecraft, Civilisation 7, and lots of Indie Games that only go to PC. Imagine if they bring back Mario Paint

If Nintendo actually did a trophy system, I would finally play there.
