Chapter 1: Who are the hosts of Kinda Funny Games Daily on April 18th, 2025?
Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Friday, April 18th, 2025. I'm your host, Blessing, Addy Oye Jr. Joining me is the Nitro Rifle, Andy Cortez. Good morning, Bless. Good morning, Andy. How's it going?
I'm doing great. I like sitting here.
Yeah, we got a different setup for Games Daily today. A more nostalgic vibe, I may say. Work from home, work from lab. Ich bin begeistert. Ja. Oh, du hast ein elektrisches Auto. Ja, ich habe es. Oh, ich bin so begeistert.
Wir haben es nur ein paar Monate ago bekommen.
You know what would be fucked up? I didn't... Bless, I didn't notice until like a week ago.
He didn't notice that we had a new car until a week ago. We've had it.
Wait, really? I thought they were like... I was like, oh, that means that like maybe the other car... And he was like, no, the other car is gone. I was like, ah. Yeah.
The lease was up. We got a new lease.
I think I saw Barretts car and I was like... Damn, where did Nick get all this money? That's how you're buying new vehicles day to day. No, we did not get a Tesla chat, Jesus Christ. Yeah, no, you guys gotta bear with it.

Chapter 2: What are the hosts' impressions and experiences playing the game Blueprints?
There's no better time to buy.
Gotta pull the trigger. Buy the dip. But yes, there's maintenance happening in the main studio, so we're recording, I think, all of our shows today from the lab. Andy. Yeah. I had to come here and say that last night I went into a blueprints hole. I played a lot of Blueprints last night. I've been playing it since the review period.
One of the things that I didn't get to do during our review of it with Jason Schreier is give it a final score. Roger asked for my tentative score. Wait, did you beat it, beat it? Last night I beat, I rolled credits. Oh, cool. For the first time, believe it or not, I put in like 35 hours into this game.
I keep looking to the left because you're to my left, even though I know we're recording here, so I should probably be looking forward.
No, it makes sense in the overlay, actually.
Oh, perfect. Okay, cool. But yeah, I rolled credits. I still have a lot more to do. I'm not Jason Schreier, where I'm 150 hours in, but I put in 35 hours. I finally rolled credits. I still have a bunch of stuff that I still want to do, but I'm far enough now to where I feel satisfied mit meiner Erfahrung damit, dass ich die Blueprints gespielt habe.
Ich habe meine solidifizierte Meinung zu Blueprints. Und ich denke, das ist ein 10 aus 10 Videospiel. Wenn ich dir sage, du hast es gespielt, richtig? Oh, ja. Okay, cool, weil ich möchte hören, wie du darüber sprichst.
Aber wenn ich dir sage, dass ich es so selten habe, dass ich eine Erfahrung wie diese in einem Spiel habe, wo ich, als ich es spiele, bin ich so, oh, ich muss sie jeden Moment retten, weil ich nicht noch eine andere Gaming-Erfahrung haben werde. Es gab mir eine Erfahrung wie diese wieder. It's the same feeling I had while playing Outer Wilds. Yeah, a couple months ago for the first time, right?
But for me, I get to the ending. I, like, accomplish the main goal of the game. And, like, I start tearing up. I think partly because, like, they do... The game has... Es gab ein paar Geschichten, aber man musste nachschauen. Und sie machen gute Dinge damit, bis zum Ende. Aber außerdem hatte ich das Gefühl, dass ich auf den Top-Hill gekommen bin.

Chapter 3: What is the story behind Andy Cortez getting pulled over and car registration issues?
Oder am Freitag. Freitag, 18. April. Unlucky day. Das ist es. Genau. Get pulled over, of course. And I'm like, oh, motherfucker. And he walks up, he's like, hey, hello, sir, just, you got a license, registration, or expired registration. I was like, are you fucking kidding me? That's insane. Like, this, I've been doing this for about a year and a half without updating this shit.
And of course it happened. And I was like, officer, Das ist eine verrückte Geschichte. Du wirst es nicht glauben. Aber ich habe dieses Dokument hier, dass ich gleich diesen Mock-Check dort bekommen werde. Heute, während meiner Mittagspause. Und das ist einfach verrückter Glück. Und er war cool. Und er war so, Mr. Cortez, hab einen tollen Tag. Wow.
Aber ich war so, natürlich, das würde heute passieren.
Der Tag, an dem ich dieses fucking Dokument in meinem Kopf habe. Meine Frage dann wird, wie traurig ist dieser Polizist, bis er schaut, weil...
You have to have eagle eyes, I feel like, to notice what this fucking thing is. But I guess every year is a different color, right?
Every year is a different color. You're right. And he was, I didn't know there was a cop behind me until I got to, you know, the little stop sign, kind of, Neben den Waldgrünen, glaube ich. Ja, ich weiß, worüber du sprichst. Der, der ein Wurf sein sollte. Ja, ein kleiner Wurf oder so. Das ist, wo ich bemerkt habe, dass er hinter mir war. Ich dachte, du denkst, ich werde einen Rollenstopp machen?
Du bist ein verrückter Offizier. Ich werde einen Vollstopp machen. Ich werde beide Wege schauen. Und dann wollen die Lichter aufstehen und ich bin so, fuck! Fuck, man!
No.
Danke an unsere Patron-Produzenten, Anatoly Ost, Delaney Twining, Carl Jacobs und Omega Buster. Danke. Heute haben wir euch von Imperial Factor und Shady Rays gebracht, aber wir werden euch darüber später erzählen. Für jetzt, lasst uns beginnen mit dem, was es ist und immer wird, der Roper Report.

Chapter 4: When do Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders begin and what is the confirmed price?
What do you expect from us? Yeah. I totally agree with that. I think that is a... Preisaufgaben? Yeah, because I know that like... Game Pass.
Yeah, Game Pass would be the thing.
Yeah, I guess so. I think I'm thinking more hardware, where you don't expect hardware prices to rise two or three years after the release. I know PlayStation did that in certain regions of the world. I don't exactly know.
I think that just happened in Japan last year.
It definitely happened like two years or a year and a half ago somewhere else. And I think that right now Nintendo will... They're playing improv right now. It's just whatever you all decide to do, we'll figure it out and then we'll act accordingly. And I think you're totally right. I think it Es ist ein leichter Weg, zu sagen, hey, das ist für euch. Es tut weh, aber das ist, was es ist.
Das ist die Realität. 499 jetzt. Nintendo muss einfach den Wagen fahren, was das sein wird. Ich glaube, für sie ist es so, wir fahren den Wagen, so wie jeder andere den Wagen fahren muss. Am gleichen Zeit, wo Switch 2 Preise erhöht sind, erwartet man, dass andere Plattformen, andere Geräte, andere... technological things are gonna go up in price at the same time.
And so you hope to get looped into that. But yeah, you're still stuck in the place of, alright, are we then talking July? Like a month after this thing comes out, where the prices are going up? Are you talking about them maybe holding this price until holiday or until like...
September or whatever it is, I wonder, they're probably very much at the mercy of like, as soon as Trump does whatever he's gonna do, we're gonna have to adjust immediately, which is gonna suck for the Switch 2 launch, but it is what it is.
It's insane that the general thought process and the general sentiment around all of it is already Lass den Preis, Nintendo. Lass den Preis. Lass den Preis. Sehen Sie alle ihre Chats, auch in der letzten Direktion für Mario Kart gestern. Sehen Sie, gehen Sie zurück und sehen Sie Chat-Replay und alle Screenshots von Lass den Preis. Lass den Preis. Lass den Preis. Das ist bereits das Sentiment.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about Nintendo maintaining the Switch 2 price despite tariffs?
switch preorder prices still the same don't worry everybody however accessories will go up so we're kind of throwing that out there as like a you know it's like a yeah like hey this is what this is what this unit is like things can go up and i wonder i also think that one i think it might also be them trying to get that um
Geld, um vielleicht die Idee zu unterstützen, dass die Tarife in Effekt geht. Wir könnten einen Monat-Buffer haben, bevor wir die Preise dieser Sache erhöhen müssen, weil wir die Preise der Accessories vorher erhöhen konnten. Und wir wissen auch nicht, wie die Verarbeitung ist, wenn es um diese Accessories geht. Vielleicht sind einige von diesen Teilen auch in China verarbeitet.
Und vielleicht sind die Tarife in der Lage, diese Preise zu kalkulieren.
One thing that stood out to me that I thought was interesting was the micro SD card express. Because to reiterate for those who may not be aware, the micro SD cards that you use for your Switch 1s, I don't think are going to work for the Switch 2. You specifically need a micro SD card express.
And I've been looking into that and the one that Nintendo is selling, specifically like the page that you were looking at, Bless, I think it's at $60 or something like that. Getting a Micro SD Express directly from SanDisk, like not their Nintendo-branded one, for that $2.56 is like $10 more. Really? Yeah, so that Nintendo one is like kind of a deal. Interesting. We're saving money, gamers.
Wir müssen das auch noch auswählen. Wir wissen nicht, dass sie uns einen Deal geben. Aber ich würde sagen, dass die MicroSD-Express-Karten vielleicht auf der Suche sind, vielleicht auch nächste Woche, wo sie sind und wo sie vorhanden sind, weil es scheint ein bisschen in Flux zu sein. Vielleicht sind Leute für die Nintendo Switch 2 vorbereitet.
Let's get into a couple more Super Chats for you. Wilfredo says, are all original Switch accessories compatible? All? I don't believe so. I mean, we just said the original Micro SD card is not compatible.
Definitely not all. I don't even think... I don't think the Joy-Cons are compatible. At least like... Wirelessly? Man, maybe. Maybe it... I don't know. I mean, they definitely can't latch on. Wilfredo, watch the Direct. They can't latch on or dock on, right? Of course. We know that, but I don't know if... Ich weiß nicht, ob ihre Switch 1 Joy-Cons wirtschaftlich verbinden werden.
Die Joy-Cons funktionieren wirtschaftlich.

Chapter 6: What accessories accompany the Nintendo Switch 2 and how does pricing affect them?
Lass mich es dir unterbrechen. Wir haben den Dark Ages in 27 Tagen verdunkelt. 15 Tage danach haben wir Elden Ring und Night Ring. Schrecklich. 6 Tage danach haben wir den Launch von der Switch 2, welcher, zumindest auf meinem Radar, für den Launch von der Switch 2, wir haben Mario Kart World und dann Delta Runes Chapter 3 und 4, Glückwunsch. Gross.
Und dann, was, 14 Tage danach, 2 Wochen danach, wir haben Rematch. Nasty. Und dann... Das ist ein generational Run. Das ist ein generational Run, for real. Und dann, 12 Tage danach, Tony Hogs Pro Skater 3 plus 4. Warte, was? Im Juni? I think that might be, we're getting into July territory for that. But still, and then six days after Tony Hawk, Donkey Kong Bonanza.
So it's just beat after beat after beat. 2011 Gianna Michaels runner. This is insane. This is crazy. Managing our time is going to be an absolute fucking nightmare. And it's so funny that in two more stories here on games daily we're talking about another game metal eden yes that just got delayed right and so you mentioning i need more shit to get delayed I'm right there with you.
And Metal Eden's like, we should probably do the same.
Yeah, let's get the fuck out of there. Because Barrett listed off the big things, but there's also so many things you didn't mention, right?
That was just like my personal game tracking list.
Like if you're talking about indies that I'm looking forward to in the next month, right? You're talking about Despilote, Skin Deep, Lost Soul Aside isn't an indie, but that's coming out. I think the same, around this time, Lost Soul Aside is coming out. Is it? Yeah, it's like May.
That's crazy. I think it is. I feel like Lost Soul Aside has been such a question mark for quite some time. And I don't... I need confirmation. I know we saw the date, but I need proof of life. That's fair. I feel that. Because it's been a very questionable game that just, you know... It's not Liza P. status. Liza P. DLC, by the way, as well. Do we have a date for that? No, but...
They're still on the summer 2025 of like that's when we're releasing. I don't know what that means.

Chapter 7: What compatibility issues exist between Nintendo Switch 1 accessories and Switch 2?
We have been... We have been the big doubters. And we still gotta go back and play Kingdom Come Deliverance, too.
Can't forget the goat. We have been the doubters, blessing, of GTA 6 in 2025. Mhm. Do we feel like these are the signs? So much is happening in summer. What do you mean? Moving up? Not moving up, but it does feel like everybody is trying to get their shit out now.
Oh, I think that is true. I could see everybody being like, yo, let's go now because GTA 6 is coming in the fall. I still think GTA 6 is going to get delayed. Ja, mir auch. Ich denke, beide Dinge sind wahr. Ich denke, alle diese Leute versuchen sich wegzuholen.
Aber auch hier ist die Sache, dass, egal wo wir im Jahr sind, der Fall schon in einer Art und Weise erfüllt ist, wo ich denke, es wird ein guter Fall sein, weil wir Metal Gear Solid haben. Ich weiß, August ist nicht der Fall. Wir hatten diese Konversation. Aber im August bekommen wir Metal Gear Solid Delta.
It is literally summer. It is literally summer. Fall Eve. Fall Eve, thank you. Fall Eve. It is Fall Eve. Yeah, we've got Metal Gear Solid, Delta Snake. Borderlands 4 is in there somewhere. The next day, the day after Metal Gear Solid, we have Shinobi, Art of Vengeance. Where does Ninja Gaiden 4 fit into that? We don't have a release date for Ninja Gaiden 4.
I'm not convinced that game comes out this year. Hell is Us is also that same week as Metal Gear Solid. What? Ghost of Yotei we still don't have a date for.
Hold on, Trader Joe Post says, Bless, we got 80k people playing Rematch right now on Steam. Is the thing still, can I play Rematch still? I thought it was like a two-day thing.
Want me to look for you?
Yeah, somebody see if I, because I've not been playing Rematch because I assumed that the beta was done.

Chapter 8: What upcoming games and releases are the hosts most excited about?
Ja, sorry. Again, too many games. The Raider in Elden Ring looks incredible. I'm so excited to know life that game. That's a game that I will not fall off of, because the game has a structure to it. Eight big bosses you gotta take down. To me that's digestible. That's not this... unendliche Lebensservice, Live-Service-Game, das nie endet. Es ist nicht das Forever-Game.
Es kann ein Forever-Game sein, aber es hat eine Struktur. Und wenn du diese acht Bossen gewonnen hast, dann bin ich so, okay, fertig, ich habe ihn gewonnen. Und ich komme zurück, wenn Freunde sagen, oh, ich brauche ein drittes oder ich brauche... Cool, ich bin da, wenn du willst, wenn du willst, dass ich reinstehe. Aber ich liebe, wie strukturiert das Spiel immer noch ist, ohne dich zu benötigen,
Get a better life or have endless content. Now, what I would love... Back to rematch real quick.
I'm glad you just want to talk about rematch. Because I've been waiting to talk about this game.
Back to rematch. I hope, and what I would love for a lot of games to do, is to do what Valorant does with Valorant Premiere. Where Valorant Premiere, within the game of Valorant,
has their own league that you and your friends create a team for and you all have to be extremely verified and like verifies your phone number and all sorts of shit to make sure you're just not like this isn't your 12th account or whatever the hell it's like
It's super official feeling and it matches you up against other teams in your skill level and you pick a logo and a team name and you can have more than the required five players because, you know, if somebody has worked that week, you can bring off Jimmy off the bench and Nancy's down the street with her fucking Switch One Joy-Cons. Bring her in, play Valorant with us.
But I love that Valorant has Valorant Premiere, because it's something that brings me back to Valorant. And the idea of having an adult league extracurricular thing to do after work and go, oh, tonight's rematch night. Wir spielen gegen die fucking Toledo fucking Starfires. Und gerade sind es 4-0 und wir sind 3-1. Und wenn wir sie schießen, würde das für uns groß sein.
Und du siehst die Rankingen und was auch immer. Und wenn du es zu den... Wir machen den Druck für die Playoffs. Und jetzt gibt es eine Bracke. Es fühlt sich so cool an, das in Valorant zu tun. Und es fühlt sich so offiziell an als nur... We're playing more comp, we're going up in rank, going down in rank. It feels a lot more official and more fun because of the stakes.
