Game Scoop! 588: What's Going On with Nintendo?

[@BrokenSocialScene23]

Not gonna lie, I got a little emotional during the song. Man I love Game Scoop.

[@cciwaltwls]

I instantly smiled when he sang "Hello to Justin, so glad to see you" because it's been a while since I've watched an episode with Justin in it. I guess I ... appreciate Him? Nice touch by Daemon regardless

[@cjgibsononline]

Please make an 8-bit version of the intro song. It's what we are missing in the world. Miss you. Scoop!

[@Mc-Bman89]

Well if it isn't CJ. It's a scoop gem!

[@zourka]

You guys nail this show with all the positivity, nostalgia and of course game news!

[@johnsolo247]

Ah man, that intro cheered me up tons. Thanks dude.

[@foodpyramidguy]

Hellooooo Omega Cops, So nice to see you!

[@ScuzzyBeta]

This comfy early episode is just what I needed after a rough day essentially working. Thanks for all the laughs and scoops as always guys.

[@SonicBroham]

Game Scoop has sincerely been the only thing getting me excited for my daily quarantine walks. can't thank the Omega Cops enough!

[@hyperhoopa]

Oh God, just when I thought Daemon couldn't be more adorable, he plays guitar and starts singing 😍

[@bradcuster]

Early scoop and Justin is back again. It’s going to be a good weekend. Only way it could get better is if the scoop crew announced they’d come up with a vaccine.

[@ParadoxalDream]

A vaccine for gaming fever

[@liljes34]

I don’t want a vaccine for gaming fever, I enjoy the condition.

[@alienmonkei]

Isn’t Game Scoop just the best!?

[@Pstovinm]

STILL the best gaming show/podcast on the internet. And that opening song was *chef’s kiss*.

[@Chimichanga_Collector]

Marine Vet with years deployed on a ship and in the dirt. If there was electricity, then was was video games. Guys used to link up the OG X-Box to play Halo in the squadbays, gameboy advance was popular on the boat, and I have fond memories of my shop playing Mariokart Double Dash nonstop. Tina was referring to USOs. They go out of their way to set up morale centers for troops at home, at broad, and at War. Video Games are a HUGE part of the USO.

[@tinaamini5637]

Ah thank you!! I knew it was a thing, just couldn’t remember all the details.

[@Psychof1st]

To Tina's point; Why isn't there an XM channel devoted to video game music? Would be pretty cool! IMO

[@juancarlos84]

You guys deliver quality shows every single week! Thank you 👍 Scoop!

[@oimrqs1691]

This is by far the best ign podcast. Thank you guy. Real Nice!

[@Anorexicwalrus]

the video lag isnt a big deal. then again im in my thirties and grew up with grainy tv

[@Steven_Olson]

Those arcade brawlers are playable on the internet archive and support a lot of players too.

[@kevinconley8076]

I'm 45 and retired from the military after 23 years. In my experience, it's definitely an age-based bias when it comes to thinking video games are for kids. Most of my friends and nearly all of my troops (both alpha and beta types) played video games. A lot of older folks think "Space Invaders" or "Pitfall" when they hear video games rather than the interactive media we're used to playing today. Just say "ok, boomer" and carry on.

[@dlegault20]

I'm 55 and play video games and have never heard anyone around my age make negative comments about playing video games. It was strange to hear Justin say that people over 30 are old and don't understand video games. That's not my experience. And stop calling me old!

[@scotius]

Daemon is the best. Great host.

[@nickmajora]

This is the second week this hasn't shown up on IGN for me. Is this happening for anyone else?

[@Ahmed94996]

I’ve always seen it from the game scoop channel. I don’t think they try posted on ign but i could be wrong

[@gamescoop]

It's right at the top of the Game Scoop page on IGN: www.ign.com/watch/game-scoop

[@mO-gy8ee]

Would like to see Game Scoop start doing 5 person episodes with 1 guest that changes weekly

[@dylansvm]

Really love the show but today's had really choppy video and audio. I've always wondered if it's not possible/feasible to natively record your screens and audio and then put them together in post instead of recording an online video call?

[@OttawaHunter22]

Good idea, but they tend to show each other things on the show pretty often, so I think the online call is kinda necessary for them. Also sending an hour long recorded video between place probably isn’t time efficient or easy.

[@dylansvm]

@@OttawaHunter22 Yeah I guess it would all depend on logistics regarding the size of the video and all that. But I think they could do it while still having the call. You can capture your cam and your mic only like a streamer would do, but yeah 4 videos of 1 hour long wouldn't be too pleasant to work with

[@Ahmed94996]

It’s usually not that obvious tbh. Like if you look at last week’s episode, it was pretty good and there wasn’t much delay between them

[@dylansvm]

@@Ahmed94996 Yeah, it's not that bad generally but there are sometimes where audio gets cut-off in almost every episode. It's not bad or annoying, just saying

[@remakeyourself]

That's it. That's the intro to every show now, Daemon.

[@NeiltendoPower]

That opening was so great! Daemon's music has always been such a special part of Game Scoop! for me

[@crackcorn0404]

I own a comic book and board game store and often hear the comment, "must be nice to just play games and read comics all day." Yes I do get to do those things, but I actually do it less than I did before owning the store. People seem to forget that it's still a business that has to be run like any other small business. Licenses, taxes, paperwork, ordering product, helping customers, managing finances, and putting in 70+ hours a week.

[@irvyne6111]

(Daemon takes his guitar down) Uh-oh, he's finally gone off the deep end. 😂

[@ShakenFungus]

The intro is wholesome ❤️

[@Angel-dq2yc]

Hello from Japan. I`m definitely going to try singing the intro song to my students lol.

[@scottwazhear]

Maybe its just last of us 2 ptsd but that song hit me harder than it should of.

[@81ironmonk]

Dear God this show is always amazing!! I can count on the Game Scoop crew to make my tiring work day better.

[@deedeepilgrim6658]

need that song on every episode from now on

[@FastBowtie388]

Everyone has a form of release. Doesn't matter if it's games, movies, food, or even stamp collecting. Gaming might not be for everyone, if you have to justify it.... they just don't get it. For each individual hobby someone has to make, market, distribute, and appreciate the hobby. As I was typing this Justin was saying the exact sentiment. However people escape it's not for others to judge. As long as it doesn't do harm, hurt others or cause interference in everyday life.... have at whatever you enjoy. :-) Tina I understand the television comment. I haven't had paid television in over 5 years. I haven't followed a sitcom or television show in over a decade. I prefer to find my entertainment and not be force fed news, and television on a dietary schedule. :-)

[@usedfuzzbox]

Is this super early this week? It's cool, just checking :D

[@gamescoop]

Yeah, we had to record early because of Comic Con.

[@usedfuzzbox]

@@gamescoop Oh, of course, will check out IGN's coverage of that :P

[@DeskieFam]

Hello, to Daemon. So glad to see you. :)

[@_J_G_]

Hello...Scoop panel...so nice to hear from you.

[@LoveBitesmusic]

anyone know what the track at the very beginning is?

[@gamescoop]

Thunder Blade!

[@LoveBitesmusic]

@@gamescoop thank you!

[@bergbjorn]

For a moment there after he greets Tinas cat I suspected he was going to introduce Sam and then all the pinball games in turn, unsure if that was something I'd really want... :D

[@arun279]

Intro song was so good ☺️

[@ChrisWTube]

If you mean the AVP brawler, it did get a home release on the Capcom Home Arcade unit that came out fairly recently. Shame it is locked to that expensive unit though, it should be available digitally.

[@gamescoop]

There's also an Aliens arcade game, but it was from Konami.

[@ChrisWTube]

Game Scoop! Ah ok, don’t think i’ve seen that one. I’ll have to look it up

[@SENATORPAIN1]

thanks for the song Damon much appreciated!!.

[@brentpasloske4180]

Is that a code for something on his hat this week? Did I miss some kinda giveaway

[@gamescoop]

Hmm...

[@brentpasloske4180]

Game Scoop! Gotty!! Thanks Daemie, I’ve been waiting for their next game, love these devs so much

[@thunderwood]

Such a cool idea! Was it a Steam code for panzer paladin?

[@antoniomay167]

Talking about brawlers reminded me of Fighting Force on PS1. Used to love it when i was 6.

[@sapphirevenom4976]

Hey, I mentioned Panzer Paladin a few weeks ago to your goodself Daemon on NG+ Knew it was a Daemy game straight away!!

[@SkeeLoGreene]

His suggestion instantly made me go to the Nintendo Shop and look it up. Looks great, but the 19.99 price turned me away. I'll wait for a sale.

[@iFish12]

I'm glad to see you too

[@gab019]

that song made me smile... pure joy :)

[@pindaninja]

best intro ever

[@RagingAbout]

I loved at the end during the outro music they put the game name ( earthbound ) i know many of the songs they play between segments but sometimes i love them and have no idea where theyre from

[@JacksonWallop]

Concern for Nintendo during next gen? Isn’t it obvious? PS5/XBOX will have premium price tags, premium priced $70 games. Thats fine if you want something specific they offer, but you aren’t gonna buy a PS5 to play Stardew Valley. If you’re in a financial position to own multiple systems (including pc), odds are switch will be one of them. At this point aren’t we all looking at how backwards compatible a system is or how available their back library is? When the market is saturated with so many old and new games, and services like xbox game pass give so many away, PS5 is going to have offer insanely premium experiences to pull new PlayStation customers AND compete with game pass type services. Can’t wait to see what devs do with that hardware, but personally IMO I’m kinda done with the graphics race. It’s all flash, rarely any substance. Innovate on a gameplay level, that’s what’s interesting. Remember when modders were inventing entire gaming genres?

[@knleonhart]

Dragons Crown is also a good brawler on PS4 that wasn’t mentioned

[@lennywright5655]

I loved brawler’s ever since I was a kid but, I have to point out about half the games you guys listed aren’t available to purchase anymore :(

[@shaunmorton8548]

I work at a very blue collar job, and a good lot of my co-workers treat video games as childish or a waste of time. Yet their hobbies, mostly golfing and sport fishing, which I'm not knocking on at all, serve the same purpose as games do for me. It's simply entertainment. We do it cause it brings us joy. So weird people feel to need to look down on someone else's hobbies in this age.

[@oneboardgamer]

Like I never would have found Jeremy Soule and his LEGENDARY music for Skyrim, amongst others :)

[@charliemilroy6497]

An interesting question is what the competitors are doing to match the portable feature of the Switch. Xbox is doing X cloud. My big hope is Sony release a companion device for the PS5 that is basically a vita, but without being a separate system, so just for remote play.

[@joshrogers6669]

I was just as surprised about the whole Army guy keeps his gaming private. I was in the Navy for 12 years and most of us, especially when deployed played video games all of the time. That was in 2001 so you'd think that would feel more like the time you would get looked down on for playing games but we never had that problem, at least not that I'm aware of.

[@luciddre4m]

An amazing modern brawler that flies under the radar on multiple platforms is Fight'N Rage. Give it a shot!

[@PeterAtkinson]

Continually brilliant!!

[@MichaelCordeiro]

Great show. FromSoftware actually owns the Tenchu IP and my understading is that Sekiro actually began development as a Tenchu game but the scope become larger and they decided to make it a new property.

[@TheCurrykiev]

I am looking forward to this show being in one room again. Daemon is a classic podcast host. Brilliant on camera, but could do with a producer in his house. 😉 Tina never talks if someone else does. Justin also realises the latency problem, so he’s also quiet. And Sam........ Sam has found a way around the awkwardness of video calls and lag. Just keep talking. And he talks. And talks. And...... Seriously though, it does help avoid the awkward silences. Someone has to do it. I love this show. Just looking forward to a more “normal” Gamescoop. 👍🙂

[@theblucanvas1]

SCOOP!! love the song

[@ToastyOs]

I totally agree with the idea that we don't need cable tv to catch up in order to feel valid. Our industry stands on its own regardless of the ppl who don't participate. Why would we "other" ourselves? Let's just be.

[@rtkiiiprod]

I loved Tenchu, the original. Not sure I played anymore.

[@gloverhaywood]

You guys are the best! Cheers!

[@damienmcdonald8313]

Hey, listeners.

[@nyrisj]

I'm 100% with Justin on games having mainstream appeal and acceptance. I don't need my games on ESPN or to look like movies to get approval. Games have always been incredible, it's not our fault if the last generation are just catching on to this.

[@saxafish]

The hello song got you a like... even though I like every episode. >_>

remember when people were freaking out thinking Justin was fired? lol

[@martydastooge]

I know right!

[@noobz4hire290]

Who was freaking out

[@TizzyLento]

Ok, so... someone totally has to make an animated intro for the show using that song right?

[@Ravix8891]

I never knew about Tenchu on PS1. The only one I've played is Wrath of Heaven on PS2. Loved the hell out of that game.

[@JeffreyHoover]

Hello listener host. I was listening through a different provider but felt like i should interject. I am a civilian living in okinawa Japan surrounded by service members. People alot of times forget the military is predominately young guys (18-24). From my experiences the gaming is community is super strong. There might negative vibes from the legacy service members, but that is the minority. Gaming is ubiquitous for this generation. Gaming is how people keep contact with friends in the states and how people stay close here too (ping is weak if you do not play with local players). No looking down from this community i have seen!

[@JeffreyHoover]

Not to give my age too much, but me and my buddies in early college rocked castle crashers probably too hard 😂.

[@gjones86]

Great show guys!

[@AgentGustavo]

For me Sekiro is still Tenchu, and Bloodborne is still Castlevania, no Ninjas or Vampires, but they they still perfectly take the spots in the industry those IPs would have had otherwise.

[@greenraven22]

There's still a lot of ignorant bias about video games. If my relatives ask me what I've been doing and I tell them I've been playing video games they'll just roll their eyes and tell me to grow up and stop playing with "baby toys". If I tell them I read a book they'll give me a standing ovation. What's funny is that in certain games like RPG (or especially visual novels) you are doing heavy doses of reading that can rival A Tale Of Two Cities.

Don't really need next gen but that is that I said till I bought a ps4 then it came out lol / confused then Microsoft discontinued the Xbox one X smh

Xbox will be in third place again, unless their next showcase manages to wow gamers. Even a potential lower pricepoint wouldn’t do much to change people’s perception of the Xbox brand.

[@SofaKingOverThisIsh]

So I think the scoop crew live in a gaming bubble while the average gamer exists In a world where people around us may not be accepting of video gaming as adults. I live and work in the Midwest(actually in the area Daemon is from) There are over 1000 people In the same building and about 40-70 I interact with on weekly basis. I can count on one hand the number of them that are gamers. I realize that our social circles may be filled with like minded individuals, but the last thing I want, is have my peers and bosses view me as childish because they have a preconceived or prejudice against gamers. So it is not something I bring up... And the reason I even know the gamers is due to the crest of Hyrule on my forearm haha.
