Chapter 1: Who are the hosts and guests on this episode?
Of course, I am your host, Tim Geddes. I'm joined today by Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Good morning, Tim.
Good morning, Bless. How you doing? I'm doing good. Yeah?
Chapter 2: What are the initial thoughts on roguelite games and Blueprints?
I'm doing good because roguelite stocks are up. Yeah. I posted this on Blue Sky this morning, right? But just thinking about Blueprints, a game that I've been hooked on for the last few weeks, a game that I cannot stop playing, and a game that continues to confirm my love of roguelites and how roguelites are on top.
The only stocks up right now.
The only stocks that are up, yes, are the roguelite stocks. I don't think I can think of one other stocking game that's up right now.
I'm excited for you, though. That's great. You've been talking a lot about Blueprints. I'm excited about the name, the double entendre. It gets me going quite a bit. But yeah, we went to New York, and you and Raj were both just Steam Deck playing this game, and you were booked. Oh, yeah. I've never heard you talk about a game quite like the way you did at the airport when we landed in New York.
You just being like... I think this is it.
Yeah, this is my thing. It's the sucky thing of I got into it during the review process too late because we were reviewing South of Midnight. We had the New York trip, which already had us being busy last week. And then I think there was one other thing. It might have been First Berserker Kazan as well that kept me busy.
But by the time I finally got around to this game, yeah, the addiction hit just as like...
things started to get a bit more busy and so um i've been like trying to find any free time i can to play this game of course our review went up yesterday with jason schreier jason schreier has put in over 140 hours into this video game um and credits roll around hour 20 just like oh wow yeah okay just for reference so jason schreier is just playing it for the love of the game yeah um that's awesome
But yeah, it's such an on-paper, man, this is doing everything for me. But again, it's that thing where if I go back, I haven't done this yet, but if I go back for every year since, I'll say since Hades 1 came out, there is a roguelite that has captured my heart. It goes Hades, I think 2021 will probably be Returnal. I forget which year Inscription came out, but that's in there somewhere as well.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the Goofy Movie documentary?
Yeah. Yeah. That's super cool. But I also got to sit down with Nate. Roger was with me as well. And got to ask a whole bunch of questions. And, you know, in typical Nintendo fashion, we didn't get too many answers. I thought we'd be a star. I know. Too many answers to things. But I did ask if having Wind Waker on NSO precludes it from...
the switch to getting the actual Wii U port at some point and he was very quick to say no like all options are on the table obviously nothing's confirmed one way or another but there are many examples of games that are on NSO and still get the you can get them in a different way whether it's a remake or just the same port version or whatever it is so interesting that they didn't say it's not happening but essentially it was never say never it's Nintendo
um we also asked uh if who was developing donkey kong uh bonanza and they would not tell us um why nintendo fashion why it's and i asked why and their their reasoning is what i'm sure most of you've already heard uh in the last couple days they're saying we want the games to speak for themselves and uh we don't want any of that stuff to get in the way of it
Sure. Did you see the like in like a different Nintendo event in a different country? They did confirm that it was the Odyssey team. Did you see this floating around? I'm going to see if I can find it.
Interesting. Yeah. And then on top of that, I was like, well, without getting into who's developing this, do they see Donkey Kong Bonanza as a Mario Odyssey level release or something more akin to a Luigi's Mansion or Yoshi's Woolly World or something? Mm hmm. And he gave a Nintendo answer. They're all the same. They're all the same. We don't see games that differently.
I'm like, you're lying to me. You know what I mean? Like, I know you do. But anyways, yeah. So not too much. There we go. There's our boy. Look at him. Ooh, that's great. Good job, Kevin. Good job, Kev. I'm trying to think of anything else that we asked, but essentially anything I asked, they were like, no, I can't tell you that.
I can't find what I'm looking for, Chad. If you can find where some other Nintendo executive was saying that it was Odyssey Team, write it into You're Wrong or Super Chatted or something, because... Yeah, I think I'm going to have to dig deep for it. But, I mean, I don't know.
I would like to pray and hope that us not seeing Mother 3 yet means that it's not just going to be a drop on Switch Online. Like, it could be, like, an actual... Like, oh, we're re-releasing it, or we're finding a way to, like...
pretty it up or we're gonna give it the 2d 2d hd treatment yeah which like would be cool but also at the same time i just want just give me another three i just want the game that you released in like 2001 or whatever whatever it was like give me that yeah i don't know
