Does Nintendo Get a Pass? - Game Scoop! 435

[@ShinReacts]

I never realized how crucial Justin's "Hey listeners" was until now. The silence after Daemon saying he wanted to check in with the listeners was so noticeable.

[@gamescoop]

Right?

[@tommyleelynn]

shinsterP4 I think you may be right. That was a common thing for him to do on Beyond.

[@jamster126]

Greg started it

[@sow_scout4989]

One thing I love about Daemon is that, he doesn't mind picking questions that are lengthy . Good job as always Gamescoop!

[@drmufflebush7441]

I was never the biggest Jared Petty fan, but this episode in particular made me realize how much I truly miss his quirky insights and knowledge. Scoop without Jared is the equivalent of the Ghostbusters without Egon.

[@GetOnMyHypeJP]

I miss learning all those random ass game facts, plus he just seemed like a genuinely good dude.

[@jackapplebaum5678]

Jared is a Saint. I miss him too.

[@angelinalisa1]

I just noticed that all of the televisions that are hanging in the back the brand is blacked out except for the Sony TVs.

[@rustyshackleford6913]

I could listen to Sam tlak about old games, arcade cabinets, and all that stuff forever! So interesting! Just let him go on a rant for an entire episode of scoop XD Love you guys great episode

[@Hersonmaya]

the Zelda voice over is a true blessing I'm so happy

[@matsletten]

I used to see Sam around my old Neighborhood in SF and at Amoeba and I always wanted to ask him what he was buying, but I never did. Mostly, his mustache was hypnotic and by the time I'd come out of the trance, he would be gone. So maybe in a future episode he can highlight a few of the goodies he's found at Amoeba?

[@inceptional]

Yeah, I guess Golden Axe could be thought of as a brawler to a degree, and then not really. Hack 'n' slash is a good description. Now, Alien Storm, that's definitely not a brawler or a hack 'n' slash; it's just very cool.

[@shamimnarayan4877]

Someone give Ryan a promotion and raise! The guy deserves some props.

[@kameronhowze6559]

Ryan McCaffrey on Game Scoop! My night just got better.

[@YamzYamzAndMoreYamz]

Emag Poocs!!!!

[@samuelclaiborn6365]

!Poocs

[@mohammadhijazi4498]

YamzYamzAndMoreYamz wouldn't it be !poocSemaG. ?

[@kuribo04]

Regarding the zelda DLC, people need to remember that this isn't even half of it I dunno, I bought it for the winter expansion

[@reese373]

Was waiting for Unlocked and then saw Ryan on this. Nice!

[@TheJavyop]

Song at 33:56? =D Ilove all this song bits you guys use but they never have names =(

[@gamescoop]

Gauntlet on NES!

[@TheJavyop]

Oh so it was a clue... Gameception

[@AustinMacho]

I missed Justin saying "hey listeners" like Buster from Arrested Development.

[@JamesMoore1063]

My day just went awesome.

[@Ficehdulah]

"Was it released before 1990?" "Yes" *closes video* Damn it Daemon there's 17 years and 3 generations since 2000

[@drsal]

Funnily enough there are gamers from that era. *I know!*

[@DougyFreshGames]

Why is there always the cliche Nintendo gets a pass? Has anyone not played Skyward Sword, a lot of people hated the control scheme and wished it could be played with standard controls, even star fox zero.

[@mattr154]

What's the song at 33:56? Catchy!

[@gamescoop]

Gauntlet

[@aliasgarhamid52]

I always thought until recently, Rabbids was a Rayman thing lol

[@meca3000]

Almost 1,000,000 people bought PlayStation VR I think that's more than nothing

[@jeffgordon5658]

Will Cord As cool as PSVR is, Sony expected it to do better.

[@audoodle9963]

Will Cord vr development is also new uncharted territory and is pretty expensive.

[@audoodle9963]

If you guys want a good game to watch speedruns Shovel Knight: Spector of Torment has some really cool speedruns because it's such an acrobatic game. Also it was confirmed that the map log feature was something they had in development. They actually looked at where the play testers didn't go and put secrets there.

[@TheNearsightedGamer]

On the audio version, is that Damon's music that plays? If so gotta get me some of that. Especially this song. I've heard it before and finally "listened to it. I like it. Anybody?

[@gamescoop]

Yeah, that's me :]

[@evilkoala4256]

I have yet to listen to the full episode, but I'd like to declare shenanigans on this week's 20 Questions. I've always considered Golden Axe a brawler, and always saw hack 'n' slash games as a sub genre of brawlers/beat-em-ups. As soon as you guys said Sega, I instantly thought Golden Axe, except for the brawler question. Shenanigans, Daemon!!

[@DaemonHatfield]

Wait a minute -- do you fast forward to 20 Questions before listening to the whole show?!

[@evilkoala4256]

First time. I couldn't listen to it at work as usual today, so I listened to 20 Questions on my commute, and I'm starting it fresh in the morning. Thanks for responding and your work, the Scoop always brightens my week!

[@evilkoala4256]

You'll be ecstatic to hear that I just finished the episode, and worry not - I won't be skipping ahead again any time soon!

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

Ryan sure loves his In and Out lol

[@inceptional]

Regardless of what Nintendo has planned for 2DS/3DS going forward, I think it should basically put every 2DS/3DS game on Switch too from now on, and that includes both new games and all of the games currently in the 2DS/3DS library. If it were up to me there would be an amazingly complete Virtual Console service on Switch right now, and it would absolutely include every single 2DS/3DS game that can possibly be on there.

[@howardmalone3]

if you listen it makes a sound when koroks are near by

[@rikp]

On the IGN team, Max Scoville also has PSVR, IIRC from Beyond.

[@SusuperHands]

haha, I say "stop me anytime" when I talk about arcade games too!

[@danielstravato889]

Ooohhh I have the Xbox One Elite! It also has an SSD hybrid drive as well as the Elite controller

[@conoruddin654]

haven't played botw yet but what I like about the dlc content is that's its all extras basically like a new game plus that you don't really need to get but if you've completed it then you have that option

[@drsal]

I actually like Sam on the end. I dunno, he just seems in his element in that position.

[@johncarpenter987]

I have a problem with giving an advantage to people based on how much money they have. I'm okay with buying additional dungeons; but, I think you should win games based on merit and effort.

[@SENATORPAIN1]

no overly opinionated justin this week.thankyou gamescoop!!.

[@dootndo2]

The Nintendo eShop says end of August 31 for DLC 1

[@mikeb6410]

Dang. If I was in the area I would apply for that "PC gaming guy" job. The job description sounds like my life outside of work. Too bad I'm 2400 miles away lol.

[@thunderwood]

Smashed that like button!

[@Matt-gh2zm]

If a developer is going to charge for a difficulty, I would rather it resemble the Dark Souls 2 NG+ mode than the artificial difficulty of increased damage and enemy health. Brand new enemies in different areas, and give preexisting enemies new attacks and movements

[@11d3adly11]

so strange to me seeing Ryan sitting there but I get that Damian is host anyway great show as always

[@bradcorbet798]

BIG SCOOOOOOOOOOP!

[@AidenAlias]

Ryan McCaffrey is one of my favorite people in the industry

[@G_Rad_Ski]

I like my Switch. Zelda and Mario Kart are great. However the lack of online features in Mario Kart or the Switch overall never get mentioned on IGN because you guys work at a place where everyone games. The fact I have to use my PS4 with my friends in order to talk while we play Mario Kart is sad for 2017. And before the "hey it's free" retort, the PS3 had better online when it was free years ago. Nintendo definitely gets a pass from most of their fans. As an owner of all three consoles I'll weigh the cons with the pros for all of them. Also not being able to race other people with your friends sucks.

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

Kid Zarathustra I think that NBA game on the Switch will be great and hopefully more sports titles will follow.

[@Hersonmaya]

I do the same thing lol send me your friend code and we could make a bigger lobby

[@audoodle9963]

Why are you using your PS4? Just use discord or Skype.

[@Hersonmaya]

Matthew Rondello me personally, I don't like using my phones battery life. ps4 is easy and I can jump into bf1 with the gang a lot quicker

[@G_Rad_Ski]

Because all I have to do is create a party and switch an input.

[@howardmalone3]

Golden Axe is hack and slash

[@katielyn1173]

Where is Justin Davis? He just came back and now he's gone again. 😣 Hope he's ok.

[@justinmoore6219]

Katie Lyn I know right?! I miss hearing him say all his great old school sayings like "Oh goodness."

[@gamescoop]

He had a big meeting he couldn't get out of. He'll be back next week!

[@justinmoore6219]

Game Scoop! Woo! :D You guys are great too though. haha Nice to see McCaffrey and Dornbush on the show too. :)

[@EmrlsCommunity]

Man. I love scoop. But since they've changed the feed for iPhone users, I also miss all the end scoop songs. RIP end scoop songs. You will be missed.

[@DaemonHatfield]

Not sure what you mean. The Game Scoop podcast feed has not been changed.

[@EmrlsCommunity]

Daemon Hatfield I'm referring to the feed that has "IGN Games: Your Podcast is in Another Castle" at the top of its page. usually the end of a scoops podcast would end with those catchy songs but the video format doesn't include those.

[@DaemonHatfield]

I'm actually not sure what you're referring to, but here's the Game Scoop audio podcast in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/game-scoop/id276268226?mt=2

[@nintendad8168]

I love my 3ds but Nintendo really needs to make fire emblem and Pokémon games on the switch they sell multi million copies it seems like a no brainer

[@michaelvares1]

Golden Axe is definitely a brawler. You go from left to right, fight all the enemies on screen in melee combat until you get a GO arrow. That is a brawler.

[@enixn210]

Nioh DLC ?

[@gus6736]

Why is McCaffrey being such a negative Nancy? Body language gives him away, arms crossed, like he's bothered to be on the podcast etc.

[@AidenAlias]

Gustavo C. that's just how he is he does it on unlocked and stuff too. he does alot of long interviews and the person next to him does it also.

[@gus6736]

Aiden Alias ehh I'm a longtime unlocked viewer as well and to be fair to McCaffrey he's great on that. But here on Poocs! He was the only party pooper.

[@AidenAlias]

Meh idk seemed fine to me but to each his own. Either way Mcaffrey is one of my favorite people at IGN so i like seeing him in more things

[@Bit-By-Brick]

I think it'll be called the XBOX One X

[@Josh-iu2cu]

XBOX One X1 X

[@terrelljcampbell]

i loved breath of the wild but some of these DLC sound like stuff they just left out of the game on purpose. The fast travel anywhere medallion and hard mode seem like things that should've always been there. Not to mention the new costumes. Im still very frustrated that a lot of the best costumes (besides dark link) are amibo exclusive. specifically, OoT link. Thats the only one i wanted and i cant find the amibo in stores at all. Epona too. I hope they come out with a game of the year version wth everything included but sadly i doubt it

[@kinghazythethird]

give us the ps vr with a camera and drop it to at least 349 and I'll grab one

[@sammywammy181]

come on! ask a wacky question at the beginning otherwise its just so standard

[@HeyDeniow]

Justin is out, great! Ryan is in, awesome! If only could always be like this...

[@alexanderchilton911]

Does Nintendo get a pass? No people are actually a lot harsher on Nintendo, while ignoring 90% of all other games' DLC or Season Pass' (which are more often than not more shitty). My opinion: Hard mode and the map feature should've been (in a perfect world) free updates, the rest is fine to charge money for.

[@RichardHannay]

Time Stamp PLEAZE

[@aaronjones6798]

Odd, I wouldn't want to play any game for more than 2 hours.

[@RandomU5erName]

27:31 Awkward...

[@jasonfletcher9370]

RandomU5erName lmao just got there 😂🙈😩

[@authentic4581]

What is he drinking? That's all I want to know

[@jilljacks603]

jerma for ign?

[@corrinhill1642]

Scoooooop!

[@sanjithechef]

Ryan (guy the end) is so not a fan of the Zelda dlc lmao

[@siggia]

Lucky Records Scoop!

[@iceman333933]

SCOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOP!

[@billgilmore8063]

So glad Justin isn't there to ask "can you see your hands?" DERP!

[@inceptional]

Trust me; VR has made the splash that anyone actually working in VR was expecting it to make. VR is by no means under-performing or going away anytime soon; it just didn't do what the largely make-it-up-as-you-go-along business analysts thought it might. But, anyone who's working in VR and anyone who's played VR for more than a few mins will know fine well that it's something genuinely special and is here to stay, regardless of what Oculus is doing for E3 this year. Don't listen to analysts or largely ill-informed media types (and that includes a bunch of the guys at IGN, sadly), and actually look at the overall sales figures across the industry and the typical adoption rater of brand new platforms like this (and this really is the birth of a brand new platform/medium), and then you'll see that VR is doing just fine and dandy. In fact, let's all try and remember this moment in say five or ten years time and see if the doubt/worry about VR's future was warranted or not. . . .

[@johnluvsluna]

Most gamers give Nintendo a pass, I mean their consoles don't sell as well as PlayStation or Xbox lol

[@antoniorsoftware]

lol

[@samuelclaiborn6365]

I chuckled :)

[@johnluvsluna]

I believe PS2 is the best selling console of all time. The original PlayStation is 2nd and the Wii is 3rd. Even though PlayStation is a younger company than Nintendo, it has sold 100 million more consoles than Nintendo. But Nintendo is by far the highest selling handheld manufacturer. I ain't shitting on Nintendo, just making a joke. When I get a Switch it'll be the first Nintendo hardware I've owned since GameBoy Advanced. I'm routing for them to succeed.

[@lonestarzeus]

No it's not. the besr selling console is PS2 followed by PS1 then the Wii.

[@RichardHannay]

I read your name as John Magikarp

[@nuruddinpeters9491]

1min, and I hear IGN is hiring PC gamer guys... Why isn't Vince Ingenito here again? He fit that bill perfectly! -_-

[@kentucky_alaska4025]

we need a new smash bros. on switch and a new Pokemon stadium 3. star wars BF2. And Pokemon yellow remastered. I don't have one just waiting for some games to come out b4 I buy a switch..

[@Krytern]

So answer is yes, Nintendo get a pass. Because Nintendo. Ridiculous.

[@MasterJazz09]

it should not get a free pass but it wild cause of the huge bias ppl have for nintendo

[@Constant_Change]

ryan your crossed arms were stressing me out. what happened just prior to taping?!

[@AidenAlias]

Mical Bf probably nothing he just does that sometimes even in unlocked or unfiltered

[@guamae]

I want Scorpio to be called the Xbox 2.... though they probably won't go with something so obvious just because Sony did it first...

[@AidenAlias]

guamae I kinda want them to either do Xbox 2 and be like an iPhone where ever couple years a new ones released and it's not until a couple later that you'll be forced to upgrade. or just call it the Xbox. and just leave it at that then the "Xbox" seems like the prime version while the one S seems more like a more affordable version like how their are the more budget version of iPhones released

[@guamae]

AAA games playable on the previous system is kinda a tricky thing... Like Black Flag was PS3 and PS4... but people could tell it was being held back for the old software... so while I agree with you that I want new games to be playable on the XBox 1 as well as the Xbox 2... there's gotta be a point, but I don't know what that point is... I want games like Shovel Knight and Super Meat Boy to be playable on Xbox 1, 2, And 3 with minimal effort, because they're obviously not pushing the hardware.... It's all a tricky situation... P.S. If Scorpio was Xbox 2, it would FINALLY make Xbox "One" make sense...

[@BiggTonyStyle]

Scoop!

[@jackapplebaum5678]

Nintendo, arguably the most inept and least consumer friendly of the Big Three, discovers the year 2011 and implements season passes into games that don't need them for egregious price points and then are applauded for it. Yeah, I'd say they get a pass.

[@mathewiverson2553]

I wouldn't call Zelda's season pass egregious in anyway, and no one is applauding fire emblems $45 dlc. Nintendo, like every other company, does some great things and some shit things. Which is very understandable, since game companies have to please fans and investors at the same time.

[@jackapplebaum5678]

I personally don't think the price is an issue for BOTW's either, it's the content, ergo the value. As per Ryan's observation, a lot of it seems superfluous save maybe a bonus dungeon. I don't doubt Valentia's pass will sell either, and it will be just another precedent for this model for them going forward.

[@legotrillermoth]

I just finished watching GameXplain argue about Zelda DLC for 30 minutes , now for another video where it's probably gonna happen

[@gamescoop]

I don't think we do much arguing.

[@sugarfarie81]

that is not game scoop backwards but OK NOTHING TO SEE HERE

[@JMGauthier]

Neil Krinitsky the words are backwards but the name is not.

[@SENATORPAIN1]

how is golden axe not a beat em up

[@cashnastyforhead1349]

Abso fucking lutely

[@spuda76]

who's the guy with the lego hair?

[@th00perman_]

*You chose "the card game Hearts" bwfore thinking of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", LOLOL*

[@solofox9426]

I have seen no indication that this new Breath of the Wild "Map Feature" will be visible in actual gameplay like they are talking about here. From what I saw on Nintendo's site it is just a map screen tracker that you can rewind and watch in that screen only. So either these guys are mis-informed or they know more than what is public, but honestly I suspect the former. While that would be kind of cool to see, big crayon lines all around you in game sadly I doubt that's the case.

[@dirk1526]

Xbox one X

[@ruthlesssavagehatred6428]

I'm just gonna throw this out there... Darksiders > Zelda

[@taherjabali3257]

I skipped the zelda talk.

[@subculturenz]

When will the Nintendo Advertorial content stop on Game Scoop.... Getting pretty boring.

[@Slumpenstein]

Please don't have have the guy on the left on the show anymore.

[@UltrosTako]

Sweet! Ramsay Bolton wasn't here. 100% more watchable.

[@zwick6890]

Sam talks so much but says so little..... he just talks to talk, whether he has a point or not. Rather annoying....

[@wolf99000]

Oh great another Nintendo episode starting to think there is nothing else in gaming to talk about

[@JMGauthier]

Kate Ground There isn't.

[@wolf99000]

How about the talk of the PS5 in 2018 that has been leaking out this week

[@DaemonHatfield]

No reputable site is talking about that, Kate.

[@wolf99000]

Thanks for the answer Daemon on the ps5 maybe you are right but its just one example I know its hard to find things in down times for news in gaming just feels like its Zelda when ever that happens this last months

[@JMGauthier]

Kate Ground That's because it's one of the greatest things to happen in gaming in awhile. Plus they just announced DLC so it's relevant.
