Lite Switch: Dec 3, 2025 | Gamesgiving
In this Lite Switch episode of The Old SwitchAroo, Mike and Jaymo are celebrating Gamesgiving with an extra special episode during the season break as they prepare for season four.
We start off with some general talk about Thanksgiving dinners and Jaymo has a list of quick food questions intended to divide the dining table in his Turkey Day NintenDO or NintenDON’Ts. Then, we’ll craft the ideal meal using just the power ups in the retro games we’ve played in past episodes in the Ultimate Power Up Plate. Finally, Mike and Jaymo each craft their ideal line-up of Nintendo Classics games for a Thanksgiving celebration in the Ultimate Nintendo Classics Three-Course Meal. Finally, Mike and Jaymo each share what they’re most thankful for about the The Old SwitchAroo.
Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy theme song!

00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Welcome back to the old
Switcheroo, where we're talking
2
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,240
gaming retro with Mike and Jamo.
I'm Mike.
3
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,040
And I'm Jamo in this episode of
the old Switcheroo Light Switch.
4
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,120
Instead of our normal focus on
the over 300 retro games
5
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,840
available on Nintendo Classics,
we are celebrating games giving
6
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,000
2025 by breaking down our Turkey
Day, Nintendo's and Don'ts, as
7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,360
well as crafting up the Ultimate
Power Up Plate and the Ultimate
8
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Nintendo Classics 4 course meal.
That's right, they're both
9
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,280
Ultimates.

we appreciate it.
So actually we just got a five
14
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,400
star review this week.
Yay.
15
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Is there a username?
Yes, Ryan.
16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Ryan.
I don't think I know where,
17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Ryan.
I don't, I don't think either of
18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,040
us do, which is always nice.
I.
19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,320
Want to close my window?
Window is closed.
20
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,200
Let me hear it.
Yeah, so their review is, I've
21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,000
been looking for a show like
this for a long time.
22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
It's fun listening to the
history and the fun facts about
23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,640
some of the games I used to
play.
24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Keep up the good work.
Ryan, you charmer.
25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,320
Well, hey, listen, if you want
to hear Mike's sultry voice,
26
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,720
read other reviews, leave them.
That's that's awesome.
27
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,040
Thank you for sharing that,
Mike.
28
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,000
Look at that.
I've already got something to be
29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,320
thankful for.
That is awesome.
30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,280
So let's get into it, Mike.
Thanksgiving with the Luns.
31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Paint me a word picture.
What's the usual situation with
32
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:05,080
you in this holiday?
I think usually Thanksgiving
33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880
itself is very small.
OK.
34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,120
And that is because the extended
family events usually are not
35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Thanksgiving Day, or frequently
aren't.
36
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,320
Right.
Yeah, that's that's kind of my
37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720
situation too.
So would your family host or
38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,680
would you guys go travel?
But we never host.
39
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,440
OK.
People aren't in my house often,
40
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,680
you know that.
Well, lovely family all the
41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,520
same.
Yeah, so one of my aunts usually
42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,720
hosts for the main thing.
Yeah.
43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
And I think, I think every
family has that like host
44
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
family, you know what I mean?
It's like the most compatible
45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,880
kind of lifestyle and homestead
arrangement.
46
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,880
I I cook OK, you don't cook.
Well, it's my Aunt Teresa that
47
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:04,440
hosts it.
Like, baking is like, her job.
48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Oh, like it's like also meant
that like she made my wedding
49
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,840
cake.
Wow, Aunt Teresa showing up.
50
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,800
Yeah, so it is a large spread of
food.
51
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,120
That's awesome.
That sounds delicious and
52
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,600
expansive.
I'm getting excited for you
53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,960
already.
We'll be both.
54
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,200
Yeah, You know, after my mom
passed away, there was sort of a
55
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,040
period where the Strausses
didn't really do Thanksgiving.
56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960
Like we'd go to like a Chinese
restaurant or like Buca di Peppo
57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,160
or something.
But then the Strauss boys all
58
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,160
kind of started partnering up
with people who do really big
59
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Thanksgiving.
So like, the Burtons crush it
60
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680
every year.
The Lemieux family, like they
61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,680
had big Thanksgiving.
My brother's partner was like an
62
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,480
incredible Baker.
So it's like Thanksgiving is
63
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,120
kind of like gained excitement
for me, but I feel like that's
64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120
just admitting that it's all
about the food for me.
65
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,600
So Mike, I've got some
Thanksgiving Nintendis or Dats.
66
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,880
I want to know your take on some
controversial Thanksgiving food
67
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,040
choices and leave a comment if
you disagree or agree with
68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Mike's choices.
You ready?
69
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,480
I expect a lot of disagreement
because my food stances usually
70
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,880
are disagreed with.
OK, well, you know, you and I
71
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,840
will keep score.
We'll see how compatible our
72
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,720
flavor pallets are.
We'll see how many out of seven
73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,720
we match up on.
You ready?
74
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,560
All right.
Number one, kind of give you a
75
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,560
softball here.
We're going in nice and easy.
76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,320
White meat or dark meat.
White meat, I think.
77
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Really, I like, I like the kind
of gamier texture of dark meat.
78
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,240
What, what, What is it about
white meat that that makes you
79
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,440
go that way?
I'm being honest.
80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
I take.
I take some of both.
81
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,600
Yeah, right.
I feel like dark meat gets a bad
82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,560
rap.
Like, OK, so I'm a dark meat.
83
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
Maybe.
What if we don't match up on any
84
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,640
and that's why we work?
Mike.
85
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520
OK.
All right, OK, this one.
86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,280
Butter on your rolls or leave
them dry for dipping and
87
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:10,680
swirling.
I they stay dry the whole time.
88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,280
They they stay dry the whole
time.
89
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,960
Mike's going and dry.
Really not even into the gravy.
90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320
I don't eat gravy.
I don't eat gravy.
91
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,040
That's right, 'cause you're not
really a soup.
92
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Guy yeah or or a lot of sauces
like it cooking now has gotten
93
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,160
trickier in so much as like I'll
get like a Turkey and it'll come
94
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,400
with like these stuff for making
the gravy to go with it and I
95
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,560
never bother with it.
But now cat.
96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Likes gravy and it's like, OK,
yeah, if you would like the
97
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,880
gravy, I'll take care of the
rest of this.
98
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,480
If you if you feel like gravy,
go for it.
99
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,560
And if you don't?
You make her make her own gravy,
100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,280
Mike.
I do not know what I'm doing
101
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,560
with it.
It's one of those things where
102
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,880
it's, it's the same thing like
when people ask me to get stuff
103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,000
for coffee.
I'm like, I OK, what's the stuff
104
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,560
for coffee?
You know, the usual stuff.
105
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,560
I don't drink it.
I don't know.
106
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Here, have these sticks that I
don't know why they're they're
107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,640
at every coffee shop, but
they're there.
108
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,600
I'll bring them back.
You stir the coffee, Mike.
109
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,480
I love it.
I love that that is so not your
110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000
world.
You never even learned the like
111
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,560
the not the language.
Like the terms jargon?
112
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,120
Yeah, jargon.
There you go.
113
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,320
There you go.
OK, so we're we're you know, I'm
114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120
going to say we're synced up on
that because I don't butter my
115
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360
rolls.
I do, I do gravy dip them.
116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,880
But I still feel like the
question was buttered or non
117
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,120
buttered.
We're both non buttered.
118
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,800
OK, that's one point for the old
switcheroo.
119
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,840
I I know the answer then to this
one.
120
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,320
I would bet then cranberry
sauce.
121
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Nintendo or don't.
It's a, it's a don't, I don't
122
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,520
bother with it.
Right.
123
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Me neither.
Yeah, it's too tart.
124
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,080
OK.
We're having that one all right.
125
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560
I, I was expecting your
cranberry sauce question to be
126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,400
like, because I think it's from
the can or like from fresh
127
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,480
cranberries is I think of people
that eat it.
128
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400
There's a distinction there.
There's people who prefer the
129
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,720
canned.
Yeah, I think it's one of those
130
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,880
tradition things like if you you
run into the same thing with
131
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,240
like Mac and cheese and get
people who are like, oh, this is
132
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,360
this great home baked macaroni
and cheese that's amazing.
133
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,400
And other people who are like,
no, you have to get it from a
134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,120
craft box.
OK, I could see that.
135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,800
I can see that which as.
I don't eat it.
136
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,600
I mostly know that argument
happens because it used to be
137
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080
people would find out I've never
had Mac and cheese and then the
138
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,120
remaining argument was not we
need to have my eat Mac and
139
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,000
cheese.
They would devolve into an
140
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,920
argument on that and forget
about me.
141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,640
You split the party.
All right, So this one, this is,
142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,760
I know this might be the most
divisive Thanksgiving question.
143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,520
Marshmallows on top of the sweet
potatoes.
144
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Yay or.
Nay, I think I go.
145
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120
I think I go nay.
Yeah, it's a reluctant nay for
146
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,880
me.
Like I feel like I haven't had
147
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360
it as an adult, so I'm curious
to revisit it.
148
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,480
But historically, I've been a
nay.
149
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,080
I feel like marshmallows have a
have their place in Thanksgiving
150
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,720
dinner but not there.
OK, well this next one is a
151
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Washington because it's gravy on
the mashed potatoes, but I think
152
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,520
we know that's a no.
That's a no.
153
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,440
Pumpkin pie, Nintendo or don't.
No.
154
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Really.
My theory is that roughly, pie
155
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880
gets better at the smaller the
fruit it's from gets.
156
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,240
OK, so you really love Raspberry
pie Berry?
157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680
Pies and cherry and cherry and
Key Lime is only slightly
158
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360
larger, but OK.
OK.
159
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,320
And then like Peach and Apple
are good but not as good.
160
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360
And you hate pumpkin.
It's like, OK, well, you know
161
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200
something you never had?
Jan Burton's pumpkin pie.
162
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720
She has a secret ingredient that
I will not spoil on this podcast
163
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,120
unless you beg me by leaving a
review.
164
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400
And then I'll sell her family
recipe right up the river.
165
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,080
Well, so then she also makes a
very signature dish that I don't
166
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,920
even know if you've had
mincemeat pie.
167
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,960
I don't think I have.
OK, you've heard of it though.
168
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,200
I've I've heard of it.
OK, well, it's, it's like a
169
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,560
savory fruit pie and and it it
splits the family.
170
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:00,760
So I was just wondering where
you landed.
171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,360
OK, well, you know something, 4
out of seven, we're compatible.
172
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Yeah, I, I, I think I associate
as the Thanksgiving dinner would
173
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
be.
I It has 2 great names which are
174
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Ambrosia and Idiot's Delight.
What did you just call me?
175
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,360
Can I get AT shirt that says no?
Wait, what?
176
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,920
Those are pies.
No, no, just a dessert.
177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,520
It's sort of like fruit salad,
but also marshmallows in there
178
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,560
and a few other things.
OK, so it's fruit salad, but not
179
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:35,560
healthy for you and therefore
not annoying.
180
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Actually, I really love fruit
salad.
181
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:39,920
My wife makes a great fruit
salad.
182
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,600
It's it's fruit salad and then
some other stuff.
183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Awesome.
Well, let us know in the
184
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,800
comments what you think of our
Thanksgiving takes and do you
185
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,680
have any controversial ones of
your own?
186
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,040
All right, Mike, well, Next up
you and I are gonna take a
187
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,720
little visit to the old
switcheroo all night buffet for
188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,120
you to build your own ultimate
power plate.
189
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Power up plate.
These choices are all taken from
190
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,200
games that we have reviewed in
previous episodes.
191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,520
So if I name something that
sounds tasty and you're
192
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,720
unfamiliar, go find it on
www.theoldswitcheroo.com.
193
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,360
aroo.com.
Am I right Mike?
194
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,040
I'm right.
OK, so Monsieur, first up, you
195
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,720
have a selection of beverages to
choose from.
196
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,320
You can get ice cold lawn lawn
milk from Ocarina of Time, the
197
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,640
random potion for our Scars,
Unity mystery potion from
198
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,400
Zombies at My Neighbors, or
tonic from Breath of Fire.
199
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,800
What will the gentleman be
having?
200
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,640
I have had tonic water and I am
not pleased with tonic water.
201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Yeah.
It doesn't do anything in the
202
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,640
game either.
Tonic is listed as used to
203
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,360
create tonic and I'm like what?
This item creates itself.
204
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,480
Yeah, and Mystery Potion is also
not great.
205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,680
I think it could be great.
I've got to die if you're.
206
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,840
Not in my experience.
OK, so you're sick and was safe.
207
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,880
Nice ice cold milk.
Yeah, it's not.
208
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,040
I don't normally have it with
with a meal, but I think that
209
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,280
wins out here.
Yeah, and it's safe and it gives
210
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,920
you some hearts back, you know,
couldn't we always a little more
211
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,600
heart?
All right, so Next up, this
212
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,080
might be the most exciting
category.
213
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Mike, we have a lovely selection
of sides for you to choose from.
214
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,680
Would you like to try the Apples
from Super Mario World, the
215
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:29,000
apple from Spanky's Quest, or
the quote UN quote apples from
216
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,720
Pokémon Snap?
I think I got to go Super Mario
217
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,280
World.
Yeah, I mean, but Yoshi eats
218
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,600
them, we don't.
I mean, yeah, but I mean people
219
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,200
feel people feed horses apples
too, and those can be the same
220
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920
apples.
You know what I just remembered?
221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,600
In our episode, we covered that
Yoshi was originally conceived
222
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,160
as like an ostrich or a horse,
and I'll bet that's why they're
223
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,600
eating apples.
Look at, look at you, Mike.
224
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560
You're a smart one.
You don't want to take a bite of
225
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,240
the apple with the sexy legs
from Spanky's.
226
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,280
Not.
Particularly, but that one's for
227
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,840
you, buddy.
That one's for you, buddy.
228
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,320
All right, Next up, we have our
meat course.
229
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,760
You have a selection of four to
choose from.
230
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Here you get jumbo meat.
Sorry, sorry.
231
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,680
I can get through this.
Joey, I'm offering my jumbo
232
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,880
meat.
Jumbo meat from Joe and Mac 2,
233
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640
the burger Patty from Burger
Time.
234
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,720
Deluxe wall chicken from
Castlevania.
235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,320
There you go.
Kai or the pot roast from Golden
236
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,760
Axe.
I I was pre prepared for this
237
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,120
one wall chicken being an answer
I would go with.
238
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,040
OK.
So that's your choice.
239
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,840
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I thought about
Joe and Mac in advance as well.
240
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120
Yeah.
But I'm, I think that's much
241
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:55,000
more in the beef realm.
OK, And I mean, and you spit
242
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640
bones out when you eat that one
that that sounds kind of
243
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,560
painful.
I I was hoping you'd pick the
244
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,120
pot roast because you'd have to
chase it down the thief and kick
245
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,880
him to get the food out of his
little screen sack.
246
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,720
I don't want my food to involve
work.
247
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
248
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040
I wanted that I'd hunt.
Well, but if you wait for the
249
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,520
gnome to run to you and you just
hit it, that's kind of food
250
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,640
delivery.
So like that was like the first
251
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,080
Uber Eats.
There's a joke in there
252
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,600
somewhere.
There's a video to be made there
253
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,440
where like he runs on the screen
and Uber eats logos, right.
254
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,240
OK, Next up, a fish course.
Your choices are Masher from
255
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,320
Sonic the Hedgehog 28 Arms from
Echo the Dolphin, Unira from Klu
256
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,720
KLU Land, or the Bio Weapon from
Star Fox 64.
257
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,600
He's got to think about this
one.
258
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,680
I'm not even sure what two of
those are.
259
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,680
OK, you want to ask about them
or you want to just be brave on
260
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:55,760
the menu?
8 arms from echo is octopus
261
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,240
correct?
So I'm not messing with that
262
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,720
one.
You don't do octopus?
263
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,240
No.
Yeah, me neither.
264
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,320
Not even fried.
I don't need anything, anything
265
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,040
that has demonstrated that much
intelligence.
266
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,400
Was the one you didn't know bio
weapon from Star Trek 64 that.
267
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Was definitely one of them.
Giant clam clam the size of like
268
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,120
a football stadium.
All right.
269
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Yeah, that's that one's also
passed the the first one was.
270
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Masher from Sonic 2, the metal
fish that jumps up and bites you
271
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,080
when you run across the bridge.
Yeah, I, I, I'm going to say I
272
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,400
feel like the metal is probably
a definite problem there.
273
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,560
The third one was which one
again?
274
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,440
The last one and so.
But to be clear though, you do
275
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360
get the animal inside the robot
fish.
276
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,120
What what is the animal inside
the robot fish?
277
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Is that necessarily like a
smaller fish or is that just
278
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,160
like whatever?
Like is there like a squirrel
279
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,960
powering of fish?
Well, I know it's not an actual
280
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,480
fish in there because when you
break it, the animal hops away
281
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280
and there's no fish that flop
away.
282
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,240
Not in this game, I don't think
Any actually all.
283
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Right, that's what I figured.
Though and then the last one is
284
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Unira from Clu Clu land which is
the sea urchin enemies which
285
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,400
people do eat.
Yeah, I, I'm, I think I'm going
286
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:16,680
to go with whatever random non
fish is in master.
287
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,680
Because you're not a big fish
guy.
288
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Yeah.
So you're like, kill the robot
289
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,600
fish.
But hey, now I got a chicken.
290
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
I like chicken.
It's an upgrade.
291
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,800
God would that be a really dark
way to like you make ovens that
292
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,520
look like Sonic bad necks and
you have to break them to get
293
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,440
the cooked meat inside?
I thought it.
294
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200
Was more of a turducken thing
really.
295
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Actually, that would make a
really fun design for like a
296
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,600
hamster cage is it's transparent
and looks like a bad nick, but
297
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,640
it's Oh my gosh, Etsy.
Hey, listen, is it?
298
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Can I talk to Etsy?
No, it's just people, isn't?
299
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,920
It I don't know.
You know someone with a 3D
300
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,400
printer.
I know Justin's got a 3D
301
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,920
printer.
Don't steal my idea.
302
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,880
I'm making this a thing.
All right.
303
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,080
And so then Mike lastly for
dessert, we have a slice of
304
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,640
Princess Peaches birthday cake
after it's been used as a level
305
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:14,080
in Mario Party, a plain doughnut
from Super Mario Kart or Kirby.
306
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,440
You know you want to know what
Kirby tastes like.
307
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Might.
I think he's a kind of taffy.
308
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Really.
Everyone thinks marshmallow.
309
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,720
No, I'd I'd go taffy, possibly
bubble gum.
310
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Let us know in the comments what
Kirby tastes like.
311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,400
I wonder if there's a canonical
answer.
312
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,080
OK, well so is that your answer?
No, I, I I think I'd go birthday
313
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,400
cake and like cuz if worst case
I can just like scrape off the
314
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,920
top layer.
Sure of monkey footprints and
315
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,880
whatever rubble is left.
After the bondage.
316
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Yeah, exactly.
Well, so Mike, your ultimate
317
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,960
power up plate, you will begin
with a sip of ice cold La La
318
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,400
milk, followed by the apples
from Super Mario World.
319
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,680
You will then be enjoying wall
chicken from Castlevania,
320
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,680
whatever animal is inside Masher
from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and
321
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,720
ending with a slice of gently
used, gently loved Princess
322
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,720
Peach's birthday cake.
Let us know in the comments guys
323
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,839
what your plate would be.
And that was fun.
324
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,160
OK, so Mike, we are a video game
theme podcast.
325
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280
I thought it would be fun to
craft a metaphorical 3 course
326
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,200
meal we just did with power ups.
But now let's do it with actual
327
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,400
games in Nintendo Classics.
We want your appetizer game to
328
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,720
start the evening light and fun,
then your main course game that
329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600
has immense lasting appeal, and
then you finish off with
330
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,480
something casual and relaxing
for your dessert game to end the
331
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,680
night.
Mike, take us through.
332
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,520
Did I say 4 course?
That's three course, isn't it?
333
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,240
That's three.
OK, three course meal.
334
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,240
All right, so.
Important question, is this a
335
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,120
meal that is being shared or is
this a single player meal?
336
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,840
I don't think many people would
consider themselves celebrating
337
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Thanksgiving if they're not with
family.
338
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,400
I feel like that is kind of a
big part of the holiday itself,
339
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,080
even though that can be
stressful, you know, I almost
340
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,360
feel like that's part of it,
too.
341
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,240
So I'm gonna say group.
OK.
342
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,720
And.
I think that makes sense once
343
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,920
you agree for games giving it
should be like a group holiday
344
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,280
thing.
I figured I'd ask.
345
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,920
I have answers.
I had answers for both
346
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,800
approaches.
All right, well, so give me your
347
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,720
appetizer game for a group
setting.
348
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Something kind of light and
quick and fun.
349
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,520
So it must be.
It must be a game we've covered
350
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,280
before Sonic 2.
Why that one?
351
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:49,520
Because I think the the
multiplayer on that is real
352
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,840
quick to jump into and I do
associate that with playing that
353
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,520
and then having a main course in
a sense from when like Burger
354
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,520
King used to have that in in the
restaurants.
355
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,160
Wow, in a way it was your
appetizer back in the day.
356
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,040
Yeah, it's a real quick in and
it's basic enough that you don't
357
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,160
have to be like how you don't
have to get deep into the game
358
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,360
to figure out what's going on.
Yeah, yeah.
359
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,240
Well, so that's funny.
Mine is also a Genesis game.
360
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,520
I went with Street Fighter two
on this like a Genesis, you
361
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,000
know, granted the controls are
not great if unless you manually
362
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,360
ship them in the options.
But feel like Street Fighter,
363
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,160
it's just like really fast.
It's very intuitive to pick up
364
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,400
and play.
You might not be doing the
365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,680
special moves unless you're a
cheap bastard like Mike and just
366
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,880
do the same one over and over
again.
367
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,520
But like I think that the
average person could understand
368
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,200
what's happening on the screen
and get how like the buttons
369
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,560
correlate.
So like I feel like grandmas and
370
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,120
grandpas could pick it up and
have a laugh and everyone kind
371
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:49,640
of gets a turn and the matches
don't last very long, you know,
372
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,600
kind of kind of light hearted
fun, I think.
373
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,440
So then your main course game,
tell me what game from our 94
374
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,120
some games we've covered so far
do you think has that play it
375
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,040
all night multiple hours lasting
appeal game?
376
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Mario Kart 64.
Yeah, yeah.
377
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,040
But are you just sticking in
battle mode like we're want to
378
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,640
do?
I think I would because if
379
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,760
you're not fighting, what's the
point of Thanksgiving?
380
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,360
I had that ready.
He had that ready.
381
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,560
Folks, that was a good joke,
Slash.
382
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,160
Not a joke at all.
Yeah, I like it.
383
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,000
I like it.
And you know, certainly when we
384
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,840
were kids we would play that
game for hours on end to like
385
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,520
two or three in the morning.
Just block for it, after block
386
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,720
for it.
It just it just never gets old.
387
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,160
So awesome.
I went with something with a bit
388
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,800
more variety to it.
I went with Kirby Superstar for
389
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280
the SNESI.
Think you have all these
390
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,200
different game modes, so there's
a little flavour for everybody,
391
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,960
you know, really colourful
graphics, these lengthy single
392
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,200
player campaigns to it and
there's even some two player
393
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,360
modes.
So I could kind of see digging
394
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,160
into that game all night long
and you know, you'll find just
395
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,400
one enjoyable flavor after
another.
396
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:06,080
That's that's my main course
game all.
397
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,120
Right My my single player on
that one would have been linked
398
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,680
to the past.
So if you're for the single
399
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,800
dinner.
OK.
400
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,440
Oh, I see.
What you're doing is a single
401
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,160
player or multiplayer.
Yeah, but see, I think Kirby's
402
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Superstar though, can kind of
fill both roles because like the
403
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,600
mini games where you're against
a human opponent, those are
404
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,360
super quick.
And often the Kirby levels
405
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,360
themselves are really quick.
So I think it would be kind of a
406
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,320
good pass the controller around
kind of single player game.
407
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,600
Yeah, no, no, wrong
interpretation.
408
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,600
And then my dessert game, Mario
Party, right.
409
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,560
I feel like it's light hearted.
Everyone's full of food, they're
410
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,480
full of wine, you know, they
don't want to take something
411
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,480
that seriously.
So Mario Party, it gets people
412
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,960
cracking up and maybe it'll
cause a huge fight and then
413
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,520
everyone wants to go home.
That's perfect.
414
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Meals over, go home.
What's your dessert game?
415
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,280
I'll briefly mention my single
play, single person dinner.
416
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,080
OK option.
Yeah, Pokémon Snap.
417
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,600
OK, OK.
You can kind of just sit away
418
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,200
and play that game forever.
I mean, you have 100% of it
419
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,920
several times.
Yeah.
420
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Or at least I've I've rolled,
I've hit a couple levels of
421
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,440
rolling credits on that.
Yeah, yeah, in different
422
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,760
iterations.
But yeah, I think it's I think
423
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:27,440
it's, it is fairly low key.
So it's relaxing.
424
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,720
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
And then for more than one
425
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:38,160
person, but still has a core
like relaxing element to it.
426
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,080
And because you all said and
kind of give people a nudge,
427
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,840
like, yeah, I enjoy this a
little bit, but then please
428
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,000
leave.
Previous the.
429
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Avenger.
Sorry, no, nobody wants to say
430
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,400
after that, even if you live
there.
431
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Mario's Super Super Pick Cross.
Mario's super pick cross OK I
432
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
see you.
It kind of has a doing a
433
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,960
crossword puzzle on the
newspaper while you're full of
434
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,080
pie kind of vibe.
I, I could see it OK.
435
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,720
And then everyone in the room is
kind of contributing where they
436
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600
think you should chisel away at
and.
437
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,600
And it does have the two player.
And it does have the two player
438
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,480
wow deep cut.
It felt like a deep cut.
439
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,640
I don't.
Does that count as a deep cut I?
440
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,080
Don't know.
I don't know.
441
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,200
But yeah.
And it's honestly the kind of
442
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,040
game that like is that I find as
a relaxing thing to go to.
443
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,120
Yeah, 100%.
Well, Mike, I think we should
444
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:40,320
end this game's giving by saying
what we are each thankful for.
445
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,840
So I think you did your
homework.
446
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,160
Do you have something that you
would like to give thanks to or
447
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,560
4.
I don't know what the
448
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,680
preposition would be I.
Think I'd probably just say just
449
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,640
in, in general the the extra
opportunities that come along
450
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
with this like obviously I think
the top that would be having
451
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,160
Timmy on.
Yeah.
452
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Which is just not a thing that I
thought was going to happen.
453
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,000
Sure, yeah.
So it still feels surreal.
454
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,600
And maybe he'll come back, you
know, maybe Nate Brown, come on
455
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,760
back, Sam Brown jump in like
it's going to be a good time.
456
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,880
And.
Then they'll Ninja Gaiden 2 just
457
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,040
came, just got announced so.
I thought of Timmy as I often
458
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,920
do.
I thought of Timmy immediately.
459
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,440
But that would be fun though,
because like we discussed how
460
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,440
that game will be different.
So like, it'd be fun to see.
461
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,960
Well, so I'm thankful for I
mean, I'm thinking for our
462
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,920
entire audience, you know,
however big or small it might
463
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,040
be, like you guys are amazing,
especially those of you that
464
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,360
have been on the discord or
guested or you know, give given
465
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:46,440
those short form content alike,
you know, it's just just so
466
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,320
awesome because you know, it's
just feels feels good.
467
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,400
You guys are spreading the love
1 little thumb click at a time,
468
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,160
and I love you for that.
But I, I think that former
469
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,120
students who are appreciating
the podcast, I love that so
470
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:04,480
much, you know, cuz like in the
classroom, you know, you kind of
471
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,040
time is precious.
And I've never been a teacher
472
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,240
where like I really get super
into personal lives and things
473
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,640
like that.
So I just love the idea that
474
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,480
former students are kind of
getting to see a different side
475
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,160
of me, and they are also sharing
the love.
476
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,200
So yeah, that's cool.
And if you're a current student,
477
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,200
I like my students this year.
So thank you as well for being
478
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,040
cool.
I got a cool job, and this is a
479
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,240
cool hobby.
And I don't know, I think both
480
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,160
are important.
OK.
481
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,560
Well, I think Mike ready to call
it game over for today.
482
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,240
I think so.
Well, a very happy Thanksgiving
483
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,160
to all of you.
And if you don't celebrate, just
484

As always, thanks for listening
to the old Switch a Roo where
496
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,560
we've been talking gaming retro
with Mike and Jamo.
497
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,400
I've been Mike.
And I've been jamo game on
498
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:43,400
everyone.
Dang it, I had the best pun.
499
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,880
Mike, please put this back in.
You're still recording, right?
500
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,000
It's not a, it's not a filler
episode.
501
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It's stuffing.
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Welcome back to the old
Switcheroo, where we're talking
2
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,240
gaming retro with Mike and Jamo.
I'm Mike.
3
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,040
And I'm Jamo in this episode of
the old Switcheroo Light Switch.
4
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,120
Instead of our normal focus on
the over 300 retro games
5
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,840
available on Nintendo Classics,
we are celebrating games giving
6
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,000
2025 by breaking down our Turkey
Day, Nintendo's and Don'ts, as
7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,360
well as crafting up the Ultimate
Power Up Plate and the Ultimate
8
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Nintendo Classics 4 course meal.
That's right, they're both
9
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,280
Ultimates.

So actually we just got a five
14
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,400
star review this week.
Yay.
15
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Is there a username?
Yes, Ryan.
16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Ryan.
I don't think I know where,
17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Ryan.
I don't, I don't think either of
18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,040
us do, which is always nice.
I.
19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,320
Want to close my window?
Window is closed.
20
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,200
Let me hear it.
Yeah, so their review is, I've
21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,000
been looking for a show like
this for a long time.
22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
It's fun listening to the
history and the fun facts about
23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,640
some of the games I used to
play.
24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Keep up the good work.
Ryan, you charmer.
25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,320
Well, hey, listen, if you want
to hear Mike's sultry voice,
26
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,720
read other reviews, leave them.
That's that's awesome.
27
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,040
Thank you for sharing that,
Mike.
28
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,000
Look at that.
I've already got something to be
29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,320
thankful for.
That is awesome.
30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,280
So let's get into it, Mike.
Thanksgiving with the Luns.
31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Paint me a word picture.
What's the usual situation with
32
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:05,080
you in this holiday?
I think usually Thanksgiving
33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880
itself is very small.
OK.
34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,120
And that is because the extended
family events usually are not
35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Thanksgiving Day, or frequently
aren't.
36
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,320
Right.
Yeah, that's that's kind of my
37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720
situation too.
So would your family host or
38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,680
would you guys go travel?
But we never host.
39
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,440
OK.
People aren't in my house often,
40
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,680
you know that.
Well, lovely family all the
41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,520
same.
Yeah, so one of my aunts usually
42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,720
hosts for the main thing.
Yeah.
43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
And I think, I think every
family has that like host
44
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
family, you know what I mean?
It's like the most compatible
45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,880
kind of lifestyle and homestead
arrangement.
46
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,880
I I cook OK, you don't cook.
Well, it's my Aunt Teresa that
47
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:04,440
hosts it.
Like, baking is like, her job.
48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Oh, like it's like also meant
that like she made my wedding
49
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,840
cake.
Wow, Aunt Teresa showing up.
50
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,800
Yeah, so it is a large spread of
food.
51
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,120
That's awesome.
That sounds delicious and
52
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,600
expansive.
I'm getting excited for you
53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,960
already.
We'll be both.
54
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,200
Yeah, You know, after my mom
passed away, there was sort of a
55
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,040
period where the Strausses
didn't really do Thanksgiving.
56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960
Like we'd go to like a Chinese
restaurant or like Buca di Peppo
57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,160
or something.
But then the Strauss boys all
58
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,160
kind of started partnering up
with people who do really big
59
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Thanksgiving.
So like, the Burtons crush it
60
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680
every year.
The Lemieux family, like they
61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,680
had big Thanksgiving.
My brother's partner was like an
62
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,480
incredible Baker.
So it's like Thanksgiving is
63
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,120
kind of like gained excitement
for me, but I feel like that's
64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120
just admitting that it's all
about the food for me.
65
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,600
So Mike, I've got some
Thanksgiving Nintendis or Dats.
66
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,880
I want to know your take on some
controversial Thanksgiving food
67
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,040
choices and leave a comment if
you disagree or agree with
68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Mike's choices.
You ready?
69
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,480
I expect a lot of disagreement
because my food stances usually
70
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,880
are disagreed with.
OK, well, you know, you and I
71
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,840
will keep score.
We'll see how compatible our
72
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,720
flavor pallets are.
We'll see how many out of seven
73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,720
we match up on.
You ready?
74
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,560
All right.
Number one, kind of give you a
75
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,560
softball here.
We're going in nice and easy.
76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,320
White meat or dark meat.
White meat, I think.
77
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Really, I like, I like the kind
of gamier texture of dark meat.
78
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,240
What, what, What is it about
white meat that that makes you
79
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,440
go that way?
I'm being honest.
80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
I take.
I take some of both.
81
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,600
Yeah, right.
I feel like dark meat gets a bad
82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,560
rap.
Like, OK, so I'm a dark meat.
83
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
Maybe.
What if we don't match up on any
84
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,640
and that's why we work?
Mike.
85
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520
OK.
All right, OK, this one.
86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,280
Butter on your rolls or leave
them dry for dipping and
87
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:10,680
swirling.
I they stay dry the whole time.
88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,280
They they stay dry the whole
time.
89
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,960
Mike's going and dry.
Really not even into the gravy.
90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320
I don't eat gravy.
I don't eat gravy.
91
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,040
That's right, 'cause you're not
really a soup.
92
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Guy yeah or or a lot of sauces
like it cooking now has gotten
93
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,160
trickier in so much as like I'll
get like a Turkey and it'll come
94
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,400
with like these stuff for making
the gravy to go with it and I
95
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,560
never bother with it.
But now cat.
96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Likes gravy and it's like, OK,
yeah, if you would like the
97
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,880
gravy, I'll take care of the
rest of this.
98
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,480
If you if you feel like gravy,
go for it.
99
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,560
And if you don't?
You make her make her own gravy,
100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,280
Mike.
I do not know what I'm doing
101
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,560
with it.
It's one of those things where
102
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,880
it's, it's the same thing like
when people ask me to get stuff
103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,000
for coffee.
I'm like, I OK, what's the stuff
104
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,560
for coffee?
You know, the usual stuff.
105
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,560
I don't drink it.
I don't know.
106
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Here, have these sticks that I
don't know why they're they're
107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,640
at every coffee shop, but
they're there.
108
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,600
I'll bring them back.
You stir the coffee, Mike.
109
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,480
I love it.
I love that that is so not your
110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000
world.
You never even learned the like
111
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,560
the not the language.
Like the terms jargon?
112
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,120
Yeah, jargon.
There you go.
113
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,320
There you go.
OK, so we're we're you know, I'm
114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120
going to say we're synced up on
that because I don't butter my
115
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360
rolls.
I do, I do gravy dip them.
116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,880
But I still feel like the
question was buttered or non
117
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,120
buttered.
We're both non buttered.
118
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,800
OK, that's one point for the old
switcheroo.
119
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,840
I I know the answer then to this
one.
120
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,320
I would bet then cranberry
sauce.
121
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Nintendo or don't.
It's a, it's a don't, I don't
122
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,520
bother with it.
Right.
123
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Me neither.
Yeah, it's too tart.
124
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,080
OK.
We're having that one all right.
125
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560
I, I was expecting your
cranberry sauce question to be
126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,400
like, because I think it's from
the can or like from fresh
127
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,480
cranberries is I think of people
that eat it.
128
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400
There's a distinction there.
There's people who prefer the
129
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,720
canned.
Yeah, I think it's one of those
130
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,880
tradition things like if you you
run into the same thing with
131
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,240
like Mac and cheese and get
people who are like, oh, this is
132
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,360
this great home baked macaroni
and cheese that's amazing.
133
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,400
And other people who are like,
no, you have to get it from a
134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,120
craft box.
OK, I could see that.
135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,800
I can see that which as.
I don't eat it.
136
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,600
I mostly know that argument
happens because it used to be
137
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080
people would find out I've never
had Mac and cheese and then the
138
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,120
remaining argument was not we
need to have my eat Mac and
139
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,000
cheese.
They would devolve into an
140
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,920
argument on that and forget
about me.
141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,640
You split the party.
All right, So this one, this is,
142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,760
I know this might be the most
divisive Thanksgiving question.
143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,520
Marshmallows on top of the sweet
potatoes.
144
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Yay or.
Nay, I think I go.
145
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120
I think I go nay.
Yeah, it's a reluctant nay for
146
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,880
me.
Like I feel like I haven't had
147
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360
it as an adult, so I'm curious
to revisit it.
148
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,480
But historically, I've been a
nay.
149
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,080
I feel like marshmallows have a
have their place in Thanksgiving
150
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,720
dinner but not there.
OK, well this next one is a
151
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Washington because it's gravy on
the mashed potatoes, but I think
152
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,520
we know that's a no.
That's a no.
153
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,440
Pumpkin pie, Nintendo or don't.
No.
154
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Really.
My theory is that roughly, pie
155
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880
gets better at the smaller the
fruit it's from gets.
156
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,240
OK, so you really love Raspberry
pie Berry?
157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680
Pies and cherry and cherry and
Key Lime is only slightly
158
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360
larger, but OK.
OK.
159
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,320
And then like Peach and Apple
are good but not as good.
160
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360
And you hate pumpkin.
It's like, OK, well, you know
161
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200
something you never had?
Jan Burton's pumpkin pie.
162
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720
She has a secret ingredient that
I will not spoil on this podcast
163
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,120
unless you beg me by leaving a
review.
164
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400
And then I'll sell her family
recipe right up the river.
165
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,080
Well, so then she also makes a
very signature dish that I don't
166
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,920
even know if you've had
mincemeat pie.
167
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,960
I don't think I have.
OK, you've heard of it though.
168
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,200
I've I've heard of it.
OK, well, it's, it's like a
169
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,560
savory fruit pie and and it it
splits the family.
170
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:00,760
So I was just wondering where
you landed.
171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,360
OK, well, you know something, 4
out of seven, we're compatible.
172
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Yeah, I, I, I think I associate
as the Thanksgiving dinner would
173
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
be.
I It has 2 great names which are
174
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Ambrosia and Idiot's Delight.
What did you just call me?
175
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,360
Can I get AT shirt that says no?
Wait, what?
176
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,920
Those are pies.
No, no, just a dessert.
177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,520
It's sort of like fruit salad,
but also marshmallows in there
178
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,560
and a few other things.
OK, so it's fruit salad, but not
179
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:35,560
healthy for you and therefore
not annoying.
180
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Actually, I really love fruit
salad.
181
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:39,920
My wife makes a great fruit
salad.
182
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,600
It's it's fruit salad and then
some other stuff.
183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Awesome.
Well, let us know in the
184
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,800
comments what you think of our
Thanksgiving takes and do you
185
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,680
have any controversial ones of
your own?
186
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,040
All right, Mike, well, Next up
you and I are gonna take a
187
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,720
little visit to the old
switcheroo all night buffet for
188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,120
you to build your own ultimate
power plate.
189
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Power up plate.
These choices are all taken from
190
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,200
games that we have reviewed in
previous episodes.
191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,520
So if I name something that
sounds tasty and you're
192
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,720
unfamiliar, go find it on
www.theoldswitcheroo.com.
193
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,360
aroo.com.
Am I right Mike?
194
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,040
I'm right.
OK, so Monsieur, first up, you
195
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,720
have a selection of beverages to
choose from.
196
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,320
You can get ice cold lawn lawn
milk from Ocarina of Time, the
197
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,640
random potion for our Scars,
Unity mystery potion from
198
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,400
Zombies at My Neighbors, or
tonic from Breath of Fire.
199
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,800
What will the gentleman be
having?
200
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,640
I have had tonic water and I am
not pleased with tonic water.
201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Yeah.
It doesn't do anything in the
202
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,640
game either.
Tonic is listed as used to
203
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,360
create tonic and I'm like what?
This item creates itself.
204
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,480
Yeah, and Mystery Potion is also
not great.
205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,680
I think it could be great.
I've got to die if you're.
206
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,840
Not in my experience.
OK, so you're sick and was safe.
207
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,880
Nice ice cold milk.
Yeah, it's not.
208
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,040
I don't normally have it with
with a meal, but I think that
209
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,280
wins out here.
Yeah, and it's safe and it gives
210
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,920
you some hearts back, you know,
couldn't we always a little more
211
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,600
heart?
All right, so Next up, this
212
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,080
might be the most exciting
category.
213
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Mike, we have a lovely selection
of sides for you to choose from.
214
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,680
Would you like to try the Apples
from Super Mario World, the
215
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:29,000
apple from Spanky's Quest, or
the quote UN quote apples from
216
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,720
Pokémon Snap?
I think I got to go Super Mario
217
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,280
World.
Yeah, I mean, but Yoshi eats
218
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,600
them, we don't.
I mean, yeah, but I mean people
219
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,200
feel people feed horses apples
too, and those can be the same
220
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920
apples.
You know what I just remembered?
221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,600
In our episode, we covered that
Yoshi was originally conceived
222
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,160
as like an ostrich or a horse,
and I'll bet that's why they're
223
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,600
eating apples.
Look at, look at you, Mike.
224
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560
You're a smart one.
You don't want to take a bite of
225
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,240
the apple with the sexy legs
from Spanky's.
226
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,280
Not.
Particularly, but that one's for
227
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,840
you, buddy.
That one's for you, buddy.
228
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,320
All right, Next up, we have our
meat course.
229
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,760
You have a selection of four to
choose from.
230
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Here you get jumbo meat.
Sorry, sorry.
231
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,680
I can get through this.
Joey, I'm offering my jumbo
232
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,880
meat.
Jumbo meat from Joe and Mac 2,
233
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640
the burger Patty from Burger
Time.
234
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,720
Deluxe wall chicken from
Castlevania.
235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,320
There you go.
Kai or the pot roast from Golden
236
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,760
Axe.
I I was pre prepared for this
237
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,120
one wall chicken being an answer
I would go with.
238
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,040
OK.
So that's your choice.
239
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,840
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I thought about
Joe and Mac in advance as well.
240
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120
Yeah.
But I'm, I think that's much
241
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:55,000
more in the beef realm.
OK, And I mean, and you spit
242
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640
bones out when you eat that one
that that sounds kind of
243
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,560
painful.
I I was hoping you'd pick the
244
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,120
pot roast because you'd have to
chase it down the thief and kick
245
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,880
him to get the food out of his
little screen sack.
246
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,720
I don't want my food to involve
work.
247
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
248
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040
I wanted that I'd hunt.
Well, but if you wait for the
249
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,520
gnome to run to you and you just
hit it, that's kind of food
250
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,640
delivery.
So like that was like the first
251
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,080
Uber Eats.
There's a joke in there
252
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,600
somewhere.
There's a video to be made there
253
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,440
where like he runs on the screen
and Uber eats logos, right.
254
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,240
OK, Next up, a fish course.
Your choices are Masher from
255
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,320
Sonic the Hedgehog 28 Arms from
Echo the Dolphin, Unira from Klu
256
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,720
KLU Land, or the Bio Weapon from
Star Fox 64.
257
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,600
He's got to think about this
one.
258
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,680
I'm not even sure what two of
those are.
259
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,680
OK, you want to ask about them
or you want to just be brave on
260
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:55,760
the menu?
8 arms from echo is octopus
261
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,240
correct?
So I'm not messing with that
262
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,720
one.
You don't do octopus?
263
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,240
No.
Yeah, me neither.
264
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,320
Not even fried.
I don't need anything, anything
265
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,040
that has demonstrated that much
intelligence.
266
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,400
Was the one you didn't know bio
weapon from Star Trek 64 that.
267
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Was definitely one of them.
Giant clam clam the size of like
268
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,120
a football stadium.
All right.
269
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Yeah, that's that one's also
passed the the first one was.
270
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Masher from Sonic 2, the metal
fish that jumps up and bites you
271
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,080
when you run across the bridge.
Yeah, I, I, I'm going to say I
272
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,400
feel like the metal is probably
a definite problem there.
273
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,560
The third one was which one
again?
274
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,440
The last one and so.
But to be clear though, you do
275
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360
get the animal inside the robot
fish.
276
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,120
What what is the animal inside
the robot fish?
277
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Is that necessarily like a
smaller fish or is that just
278
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,160
like whatever?
Like is there like a squirrel
279
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,960
powering of fish?
Well, I know it's not an actual
280
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,480
fish in there because when you
break it, the animal hops away
281
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280
and there's no fish that flop
away.
282
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,240
Not in this game, I don't think
Any actually all.
283
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Right, that's what I figured.
Though and then the last one is
284
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Unira from Clu Clu land which is
the sea urchin enemies which
285
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,400
people do eat.
Yeah, I, I'm, I think I'm going
286
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:16,680
to go with whatever random non
fish is in master.
287
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,680
Because you're not a big fish
guy.
288
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Yeah.
So you're like, kill the robot
289
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,600
fish.
But hey, now I got a chicken.
290
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
I like chicken.
It's an upgrade.
291
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,800
God would that be a really dark
way to like you make ovens that
292
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,520
look like Sonic bad necks and
you have to break them to get
293
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,440
the cooked meat inside?
I thought it.
294
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200
Was more of a turducken thing
really.
295
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Actually, that would make a
really fun design for like a
296
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,600
hamster cage is it's transparent
and looks like a bad nick, but
297
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,640
it's Oh my gosh, Etsy.
Hey, listen, is it?
298
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Can I talk to Etsy?
No, it's just people, isn't?
299
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,920
It I don't know.
You know someone with a 3D
300
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,400
printer.
I know Justin's got a 3D
301
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,920
printer.
Don't steal my idea.
302
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,880
I'm making this a thing.
All right.
303
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,080
And so then Mike lastly for
dessert, we have a slice of
304
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,640
Princess Peaches birthday cake
after it's been used as a level
305
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:14,080
in Mario Party, a plain doughnut
from Super Mario Kart or Kirby.
306
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,440
You know you want to know what
Kirby tastes like.
307
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Might.
I think he's a kind of taffy.
308
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Really.
Everyone thinks marshmallow.
309
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,720
No, I'd I'd go taffy, possibly
bubble gum.
310
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Let us know in the comments what
Kirby tastes like.
311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,400
I wonder if there's a canonical
answer.
312
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,080
OK, well so is that your answer?
No, I, I I think I'd go birthday
313
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,400
cake and like cuz if worst case
I can just like scrape off the
314
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,920
top layer.
Sure of monkey footprints and
315
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,880
whatever rubble is left.
After the bondage.
316
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Yeah, exactly.
Well, so Mike, your ultimate
317
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,960
power up plate, you will begin
with a sip of ice cold La La
318
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,400
milk, followed by the apples
from Super Mario World.
319
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,680
You will then be enjoying wall
chicken from Castlevania,
320
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,680
whatever animal is inside Masher
from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and
321
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,720
ending with a slice of gently
used, gently loved Princess
322
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,720
Peach's birthday cake.
Let us know in the comments guys
323
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,839
what your plate would be.
And that was fun.
324
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,160
OK, so Mike, we are a video game
theme podcast.
325
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280
I thought it would be fun to
craft a metaphorical 3 course
326
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,200
meal we just did with power ups.
But now let's do it with actual
327
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,400
games in Nintendo Classics.
We want your appetizer game to
328
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,720
start the evening light and fun,
then your main course game that
329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600
has immense lasting appeal, and
then you finish off with
330
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,480
something casual and relaxing
for your dessert game to end the
331
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,680
night.
Mike, take us through.
332
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,520
Did I say 4 course?
That's three course, isn't it?
333
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,240
That's three.
OK, three course meal.
334
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,240
All right, so.
Important question, is this a
335
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,120
meal that is being shared or is
this a single player meal?
336
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,840
I don't think many people would
consider themselves celebrating
337
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Thanksgiving if they're not with
family.
338
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,400
I feel like that is kind of a
big part of the holiday itself,
339
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,080
even though that can be
stressful, you know, I almost
340
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,360
feel like that's part of it,
too.
341
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,240
So I'm gonna say group.
OK.
342
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,720
And.
I think that makes sense once
343
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,920
you agree for games giving it
should be like a group holiday
344
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,280
thing.
I figured I'd ask.
345
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,920
I have answers.
I had answers for both
346
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,800
approaches.
All right, well, so give me your
347
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,720
appetizer game for a group
setting.
348
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Something kind of light and
quick and fun.
349
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,520
So it must be.
It must be a game we've covered
350
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,280
before Sonic 2.
Why that one?
351
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:49,520
Because I think the the
multiplayer on that is real
352
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,840
quick to jump into and I do
associate that with playing that
353
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,520
and then having a main course in
a sense from when like Burger
354
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,520
King used to have that in in the
restaurants.
355
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,160
Wow, in a way it was your
appetizer back in the day.
356
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,040
Yeah, it's a real quick in and
it's basic enough that you don't
357
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,160
have to be like how you don't
have to get deep into the game
358
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,360
to figure out what's going on.
Yeah, yeah.
359
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,240
Well, so that's funny.
Mine is also a Genesis game.
360
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,520
I went with Street Fighter two
on this like a Genesis, you
361
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,000
know, granted the controls are
not great if unless you manually
362
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,360
ship them in the options.
But feel like Street Fighter,
363
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,160
it's just like really fast.
It's very intuitive to pick up
364
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,400
and play.
You might not be doing the
365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,680
special moves unless you're a
cheap bastard like Mike and just
366
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,880
do the same one over and over
again.
367
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,520
But like I think that the
average person could understand
368
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,200
what's happening on the screen
and get how like the buttons
369
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,560
correlate.
So like I feel like grandmas and
370
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,120
grandpas could pick it up and
have a laugh and everyone kind
371
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:49,640
of gets a turn and the matches
don't last very long, you know,
372
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,600
kind of kind of light hearted
fun, I think.
373
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,440
So then your main course game,
tell me what game from our 94
374
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,120
some games we've covered so far
do you think has that play it
375
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,040
all night multiple hours lasting
appeal game?
376
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Mario Kart 64.
Yeah, yeah.
377
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,040
But are you just sticking in
battle mode like we're want to
378
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,640
do?
I think I would because if
379
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,760
you're not fighting, what's the
point of Thanksgiving?
380
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,360
I had that ready.
He had that ready.
381
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,560
Folks, that was a good joke,
Slash.
382
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,160
Not a joke at all.
Yeah, I like it.
383
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,000
I like it.
And you know, certainly when we
384
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,840
were kids we would play that
game for hours on end to like
385
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,520
two or three in the morning.
Just block for it, after block
386
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,720
for it.
It just it just never gets old.
387
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,160
So awesome.
I went with something with a bit
388
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,800
more variety to it.
I went with Kirby Superstar for
389
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280
the SNESI.
Think you have all these
390
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,200
different game modes, so there's
a little flavour for everybody,
391
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,960
you know, really colourful
graphics, these lengthy single
392
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,200
player campaigns to it and
there's even some two player
393
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,360
modes.
So I could kind of see digging
394
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,160
into that game all night long
and you know, you'll find just
395
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,400
one enjoyable flavor after
another.
396
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:06,080
That's that's my main course
game all.
397
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,120
Right My my single player on
that one would have been linked
398
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,680
to the past.
So if you're for the single
399
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,800
dinner.
OK.
400
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,440
Oh, I see.
What you're doing is a single
401
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,160
player or multiplayer.
Yeah, but see, I think Kirby's
402
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Superstar though, can kind of
fill both roles because like the
403
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,600
mini games where you're against
a human opponent, those are
404
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,360
super quick.
And often the Kirby levels
405
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,360
themselves are really quick.
So I think it would be kind of a
406
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,320
good pass the controller around
kind of single player game.
407
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,600
Yeah, no, no, wrong
interpretation.
408
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,600
And then my dessert game, Mario
Party, right.
409
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,560
I feel like it's light hearted.
Everyone's full of food, they're
410
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,480
full of wine, you know, they
don't want to take something
411
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,480
that seriously.
So Mario Party, it gets people
412
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,960
cracking up and maybe it'll
cause a huge fight and then
413
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,520
everyone wants to go home.
That's perfect.
414
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Meals over, go home.
What's your dessert game?
415
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,280
I'll briefly mention my single
play, single person dinner.
416
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,080
OK option.
Yeah, Pokémon Snap.
417
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,600
OK, OK.
You can kind of just sit away
418
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,200
and play that game forever.
I mean, you have 100% of it
419
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,920
several times.
Yeah.
420
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Or at least I've I've rolled,
I've hit a couple levels of
421
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,440
rolling credits on that.
Yeah, yeah, in different
422
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,760
iterations.
But yeah, I think it's I think
423
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:27,440
it's, it is fairly low key.
So it's relaxing.
424
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,720
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
And then for more than one
425
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:38,160
person, but still has a core
like relaxing element to it.
426
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,080
And because you all said and
kind of give people a nudge,
427
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,840
like, yeah, I enjoy this a
little bit, but then please
428
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,000
leave.
Previous the.
429
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Avenger.
Sorry, no, nobody wants to say
430
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,400
after that, even if you live
there.
431
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Mario's Super Super Pick Cross.
Mario's super pick cross OK I
432
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
see you.
It kind of has a doing a
433
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,960
crossword puzzle on the
newspaper while you're full of
434
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,080
pie kind of vibe.
I, I could see it OK.
435
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,720
And then everyone in the room is
kind of contributing where they
436
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600
think you should chisel away at
and.
437
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,600
And it does have the two player.
And it does have the two player
438
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,480
wow deep cut.
It felt like a deep cut.
439
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,640
I don't.
Does that count as a deep cut I?
440
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,080
Don't know.
I don't know.
441
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,200
But yeah.
And it's honestly the kind of
442
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,040
game that like is that I find as
a relaxing thing to go to.
443
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,120
Yeah, 100%.
Well, Mike, I think we should
444
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:40,320
end this game's giving by saying
what we are each thankful for.
445
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,840
So I think you did your
homework.
446
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,160
Do you have something that you
would like to give thanks to or
447
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,560
4.
I don't know what the
448
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,680
preposition would be I.
Think I'd probably just say just
449
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,640
in, in general the the extra
opportunities that come along
450
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
with this like obviously I think
the top that would be having
451
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,160
Timmy on.
Yeah.
452
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Which is just not a thing that I
thought was going to happen.
453
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,000
Sure, yeah.
So it still feels surreal.
454
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,600
And maybe he'll come back, you
know, maybe Nate Brown, come on
455
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,760
back, Sam Brown jump in like
it's going to be a good time.
456
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,880
And.
Then they'll Ninja Gaiden 2 just
457
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,040
came, just got announced so.
I thought of Timmy as I often
458
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,920
do.
I thought of Timmy immediately.
459
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,440
But that would be fun though,
because like we discussed how
460
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,440
that game will be different.
So like, it'd be fun to see.
461
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,960
Well, so I'm thankful for I
mean, I'm thinking for our
462
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,920
entire audience, you know,
however big or small it might
463
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,040
be, like you guys are amazing,
especially those of you that
464
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,360
have been on the discord or
guested or you know, give given
465
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:46,440
those short form content alike,
you know, it's just just so
466
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,320
awesome because you know, it's
just feels feels good.
467
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,400
You guys are spreading the love
1 little thumb click at a time,
468
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,160
and I love you for that.
But I, I think that former
469
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,120
students who are appreciating
the podcast, I love that so
470
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:04,480
much, you know, cuz like in the
classroom, you know, you kind of
471
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,040
time is precious.
And I've never been a teacher
472
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,240
where like I really get super
into personal lives and things
473
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,640
like that.
So I just love the idea that
474
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,480
former students are kind of
getting to see a different side
475
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,160
of me, and they are also sharing
the love.
476
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,200
So yeah, that's cool.
And if you're a current student,
477
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,200
I like my students this year.
So thank you as well for being
478
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,040
cool.
I got a cool job, and this is a
479
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,240
cool hobby.
And I don't know, I think both
480
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,160
are important.
OK.
481
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,560

it game over for today.

Mike, please put this back in.
You're still recording, right?
500
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,000
It's not a, it's not a filler
episode.
501
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It's stuffing.
