Welcome back to another Nerd Alert Podcast EPISODE 27! Main topics tonight: Max and Tyler Discuss the current state of the gaming industry. Pricing rising, budgets getting larger, quality decreasing, and so much more.

Topics: Switch 2 specs 1080 lcd Up to 4k 120 game permitting doc mode  Also 120 fps for 1080p and 1440p Cooling fan to help with performance Magnetic joy cons They have larger buttons and now a c button New discord like feature on the switch where you can screen share but quite frankly it looks like butt cheeks performance anyways so seems like a waste 256gb storage Expandable with micro sd express cards Assume the games are going to be bigger and that is why larger base storage, you will probably still be better just buying a 1tb sd and loading everything there HDR support 7.9 inch screen  Finally have 2 usb c ports One above and one below the console According to Nintedo website: Approx. 2 – 6.5 hours *These are rough estimates. The battery life will depend on the games you play. SPECS HERE: https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/tech-specs/ Game sharing Allowing you to share select games with people around you on their switches to play multiplayer without needing everyone to have the game (maybe they doing this because their games are getting way too pricy) Still no exposure to what the RAM is and the CPU/GPU is just claiming to be custom by NVIDIA, not sure why nintendo wants to hide this info Price Points Console 450 or 500 bundled with Mario Kart Here is what the stream deck goes for. $400 for just the standard LCD screen but specs seem somewhat comparable and a dock for it is like 80 bucks first party, so if I had to guess, Nintedo definitely used this as one of their influences for price points, this might even help project what a potential OLED could be one day https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck Anywhere from 60 - 90 dollars We know that Mario Kart World will retail $80 for digital  https://x.com/geoffkeighley/status/1907438577438302617 Donkey Kong Bananza will be $70 The guess right now based on some screenshots here and there is the the digital versions can be around  $10 less than physical though it does differ across the different currencies Is this now they new standard for first party games? Going 20 dollars over the normal AAA title price, will everyone just follow now and thank Nintendo for being the bold overlords to make the first move Games Announced (New, enhanced switch 2 versions and older games just coming to the switch 2) Mario Kart World Kirby Air Riders Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom getting Switch 2 edition versions Metroid Prime 4 with a Switch 2 Edition (featuring mouse controls as well) Kirby and the forgotten land + star-crossed worlds  Super Mario PArty Jamboree expanded version and mouse controls Pokemon Legends Z-A switch 2 editions with improved performance and framerate Nintendo Switch 2: Welcome Tour Drag x Drive (mouse control game playing basketball in wheelchairs 3v3 style) Nintendo GameCube Games for the Swtich 2 via online expanded edition (games like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and SOULCALIBUR II) oddly enough sunshine will make an appearance eventually and then XD and Colosseum Duskbloods (FromSoftware exclusive to Switch 2 maybe itll be exclusive launch and PC later?? Doubts though get ready to emulate) Elden Ring Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Deltarune chapters 3-4 launch same day as switch 2 (should also be on steam) Hades 2 to release on switch and switch 2 before other consoles EA Sports Madden NFL EA Sports FC NBA 2K WWE 2K Split Fiction Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Street Fighter 6 Sid Meier's Civilization VII Hogwarts Legacy Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster Borderlands 4 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Yakuza 0 Director's Cut Fortnite Enter the Gungeon 2 Hitman World of Assassination - Signature Edition Project 007 Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Survival Kids Star Wars Outlaws Silksong Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Reanimal

Started with Pokémon Yellow and Gold on my Gameboy so around 2000 or 2001. I have played every main series Pokémon games and most of the spin offs as well. Card collector but not the biggest player. I still even have some 1st editions like Blastoise and Venusaur. Some dark Pokemon, etc. Always have collected. I do content creating based on Pokemon. YouTube channel and twitch. Post on tik tok and Instagram. Big time shiny hunter Did Pokemon go for a long time but stopped as it got boring. Now I sometimes do community days Questions of me: If I were a type(s): fire and psychic If I were and npc what would my dialogue be? Probably something along the lines of: did you know Pokemon can even be found on paper? No really! The trading card game is highly popular! Gotta collect them all!! Or No one believes me, but if you're lucky you can actually find a rare Pokemon that looks different than normal. If I had to guess it's probably a [say the odds] chance. Rumor has it though with this special charm you may even be able to find the twice as much. Favorite Pokemon Growlithe/arcanine Favorite legendary  Rayquaza Favorite game and why probably emerald. It was the first game of Pokemon and probably ever where I broke 100 hours. I am pretty sure my actually playtime as well is beyond 300 plus on that game. First shiny: Zubat encountered that I actually thought was sick so I killed it 🤣 Favorite Shiny Pokémon? I love pink shinnies as pink is my favorite color :) ----------------------------- Topic 1: Pokemon Go https://pokemongolive.com/news/?hl=en Topic 2: Greninja coming to raids: https://kotaku.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet-greninja-nintendo-switch-raid-1849992111 Topic 3: Crown Zenith launches the 20th and scarlet and violet march 31st Cards I want from CZ: Mewtwo VSTAR Lucario rainbow rare Unknown V Radiant Charizard Zeraora VMAX Alr rayquaza cards Radiant eternatus Any of the signed trainer cards.
