Water. Churning tide turning, sun burning. Wave crash, cookie tossing, snake and quaking, booty shaking, scrolling, controlling rock and rolling. Strap on that seahorse and ride. Welcome to Remember 64, where this week we're revving our watercraft engines. Welcome to the show, everyone. This is Remember 64, whether it is your first time listening or your or a returning listener or viewer of the show, welcome once
again. My name is David Pitrangelo and I love me some racing, but man, if I could just win a race once in a while, that'd be kind of nice. Oh, a pretty dolphin. Hello Miss Dolphin. I think I'm just going to chill with you for a little while. Oh, and it's soothing sounds of the dolphin squeals the intro race Lady. Is this what heaven feels like? And of course, Jiggy Lookback is here with me. Oh yeah, we're racing on some Waves Max Power crossing the finish line with that 3D model booty.
Let's do it. Gotta love the 3D bottle booties. And of course we have a special guest with us. I have been on their podcast, I think a couple of at least once, maybe a couple times. Memory. If memory serves me correctly, Aaron from Super Pod Saga is here to talk about Wave Race 64. Aaron, welcome to the show. Hello, I'm going to quote my favorite part from Wave Race 64. OK, OK. OK. OK.
Yeah, that is there. There's some there's some pretty cool, interesting and goofy sounds coming from this game. That is definitely something we're going to, we're going to be visiting in the next few minutes for sure. Aaron, before we we jump into talking about Wave Race and why you brought the game to our attention to have it as one of the games that that you wanted to play as well. But let's talk a little bit about your show. Let's talk a little bit about Super Pot Saga and and what's
been happening lately. Right on. Well, yeah, Superpod Saga, It's just me now. I think the last time you were on, Tommy was still with us, but he left. He left recently. But yeah, it's just just me and I invite some guests on every every episode. And each episode is a different video game topic that we decided to talk about.
I'll let the guests decide. And yeah, we cover all sorts of different stuff from I think the was a Day if you've been on to talk about indie hidden gems and favorite video game locations and we've done episodes on like the the 6th generation consoles or like our favorite video game weapons and stuff like that. Just a different topic every time. You never know what to expect. It's on, it's on everything. But just look up Super Pond Saga and you'll find it.
And it was very. It was super easy and I just followed. Well, thank you Jiggy. Yeah, it's just like that. It's very it's very laid back, casual. I don't have a script or anything. I we just go all off the cuff and just have fun. Talk about cool games that we like and why we like them, and goofy fun ad breaks toward the middle where we just make up goofy random garbage and then that's it. That's the show.
Super bad Saga. It is it is a great time to record and a great listen I I can I can attest to that for sure. So yeah I definitely check it out it's it's really fun man. It like you you and Tommy and then yourself like you you guys together and and you solo.
It's been it's been it's awesome it's it's it's just fun like it's just fun that's that's the best way I could I I'm not I'm not good with words sorry people but it's just fun it's a good time so check it out So I want to go back to you before we get into some of the the breaking down the details of the game and stuff like that but what is it about about Wave Race 64 for you that it was one of the games when we've chatted over over the
over time that this is one that you know I want to put my hand up for for for talking about it what what about Wave Race 64 like hits for you back then and and maybe even now. What's All right? I played a little bit of this game at my my cousin's house a long time ago. I don't remember a whole lot about whether or not I actually played it or not, but I know that they had it and I played it
a little bit. But mostly I watched them play it and I've been pretty interested in it lately because it's just one of those series that Nintendo just abandoned I think with the GameCube. I think the last one we got was on the GameCube, the IT was like blue storm or whatever and it's it's just like a water yeah an on water or water based we're going to call it racing game just seems so cool and it'd be so rad to have another wave race again And this one on the 64,
despite being on the 64 still looks really really good. Like the character models look really awesome. The water looks great, the dolphins and sharks and the the seagulls. I can't think of what a seagull was called for a minute, but. Everything. It's it's a flying shark. It's a flying shark really, is what it is, yeah. Yeah, and it's just such a it's such a beautiful game. Like, yeah, it's just so fun to
play. I'll I'll get into how how badly I suck at the game in in a little bit but it's it's an awesome, awesome game. Nice, nice.
I want to make sure that I cue this up because I want to talk a little bit about about the game being being made and sort of how it came to be. Because there is a little bit of like sort of love for this game because of the way it looks and the way it plays and the technology that they that they use in order to like make the waves and the graphics and stuff so early on in this in the life cycle of the console. So as always, let's bust out the history books everyone.
I'm learning. We're going back to the early days of the Nintendo 64 November of 1996. This is depending on where you look it up and depending on where you might have lived. I believe it is either the third or fourth release for the console in North America.
So it is very early. It is essentially a launch title cause the the console had a launch window I would say with games and this was within that first couple of months of when it hit North America. So yeah, this is essentially a launch title, but it was led by I am going. The development of the game was led by Here I am mispronouncing Japanese names Shinya Takahashi. That's pretty good. That's better, right? Probably one of the easier names, so you. Could be a native speaker.
Didn't you know? Didn't you know it was just hiding my talents? Oh wow, this is me sucking at this race right now. Terrible. Yeah. You know what this was? So if anyone's watching the YouTube version, I think this was me playing around with like how the the steering works and stuff, which we'll get into. And then I quickly realized after this one race, which is the 1st and easiest, I definitely can't race in whatever setting I chose. So that's my that's my excuse at least for this.
OK, so it was led by Takahashi who was at Nintendo since 1989, so he'd been there for a very long time, and NES and SNES days and everything. He's one of the people that is credited in Nintendo from being able to bring the company from 2D to 3D. So he's like a major player in Nintendo, being able to just make anything for the 64 and develop the technology. So big name in the in the in the company. From what I could tell, he still works there or just very recently stopped working there.
So this guy's been with the company for 40 years, which is just insane. But hey man, you work for Nintendo. I'm sure everyone wants to work there for 40 years. So I'm off all for it, right? Oh yeah. For sure. Yeah, so the game came about. Oh, there we go. I just restarted it. So I was like, fuck this.
Terrible. OK, so while experimenting with the Nintendo 64 Silicon Graphics technology, a tech demo was made and the and speak piqued the curiosity of the team and they just said this is according to an interview with with Time. I found it at-time.com back in like 2010, I think it was. They said we want to quote, make something fun of it.
So whatever that demo was, which was a racing game with water involved, they wanted to make something fun of it so that that's it. That's what made Wave Race Everybody make something fun. Make something fun of it. Beautiful. Did you know that? And you might. Were you done? Let me ask you that first. Are you done yet? Because there's a fun fact after that. Please do, yeah. Because they were, I believe
they were. They originally had boats like, yeah, high speed boats and that's what they were doing. And then Tim Stamper from Rare said it would be cooler if you had jet skis. Like, whether that's a passing comment or whatever, he's like do jet skis and that's what they did. And and it's and it's from from Rare too, you know, which obviously was very intertwined with Nintendo, you know for multiple reasons and games and
stuff like that. But the fact that, you know, it wasn't like Miyamoto, that was like you know what I like Jet Skis. Let's use that. That's something fun. It's like, no, no, this this guy, you know, Stamper was the guy that did it. And I think boats could have been cool. But immediately when I read that too, I was like, if you guys ever played Hydro Thunder. That's what I was gonna say.
That's what it reminded me. Of is this, is this the first racing game on water or 'cause I know, I know Hydro Thunder came out in like 99 or something like that, so that, yeah. So I don't there's a wave race before this. Yeah, I mean, there's other ones that are kind of like, yeah, OK,
I was gonna mention that too. The, I don't know that it's the first that's like on water because they're probably be some sort of boat racer or something, even for like Genesis or there must be something like that but for 3D, gotta be, as far as I can tell, it's gotta be the first one. But yeah, the the one before this, which I never realized, honestly until I think a couple years ago that this was like a
sequel. I had no idea there was another wave race growing up, no. Idea on the Game Boy of all things. What the hell? On the Game Boy, I look, I got it right here. Look at that. Oh, wait. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. So this is my little emulator device. I had it on there. I had a bunch of like Gameboy games like preloaded on it, and that was one of them. And I played it a little bit,
actually. It was, it was, it was pretty good, you know, it wasn't amazing or anything, but it's sort of, you know, top down and you just have like the jet skis that kind of honestly just look like little speed boats kind of thing. And you're just unattractive. Have you played a jiggy or have you have you seen it? No, I've seen it though. Yeah, I've seen that it's top down. It's kind of like I'm trying to think what the Mini Racers game is.
Micro Machines? You ever play Micro Machines for NES? That's what it reminds me of. That's what it reminds me. Of very similar, wasn't there also? No. I don't think it was a racing game, wasn't there another game with boats that Rare made? It was on the Rare Replay, I think, but not, I think. But I don't think it was a racing game though. I think it was just like a combat game. Oh. Rare replay. Rare Replay. I can do this. OK, cool. I'm gonna look it up while you try and remember it.
Yeah. I don't know, maybe you're talking about blast core with vehicles. No, it's not. It's not Blast Core for sure. Also a game that people should check out now that it's on Switch. Blast Core is not perfect, but it is. It's interesting, and an early early one. Cobra triangle. Cobra triangle. Yeah. OK. Yep. Yeah, 81 even. Older. That's on Rare Replay. Yeah, yes. Wow. I didn't know it was either. I just looked it up too. I don't think I've ever played that. I don't have.
Oh, it's a. Replay I don't. Have an Xbox. Which sucks. I do. It's awesome. Wikipedia says it's racing. So it's it's racing. Thanks Wikipedia. Thanks wiki. Yeah, that game. That game rocks. Actually, that's a. That's a pretty good. OK, I gotta try that then that's that's awesome. I gotta try that. Like twisted metal, but on water. Oh shit that sounds great that's awesome. OK.
So lastly what I wrote down as far as what the as far as like making cause the the waves in this and and how the waves look and how they react and all those types of things. I think is like especially the way they look is something that was was new at the time. They basically started making it available in 3D for this game because you you have to obviously code it differently and program it differently than you would for. For 2D it's called alpha
blending. I don't know much about coding or really what that what that means, but alpha blending apparently is the process of combining an image with the background to create the appearance of full transparency. So basically they would with the waves. What they would do is they would go between no transparency and alpha blending and sort of put those two together on top of
each other in like motion. And that's how it made the waves look either transparent or you know, I guess not transparent or opaque or whatever you want to call it. So that I I think whatever they did, however it works it to me it looks great. I think the waves and stuff, they they look, they still look awesome, so.
And the way the background reflects off of the surface of the water too, man, that's so and and you can see like the fish kind of like swimming toward they like swim toward the the surface of the water too man, that that's so that's so rad for the N64. It's so it's ahead of its time like other games maybe would have had a chance to do that or at least try to or whatever. This was like before they even knew what the fuck they were doing with this console.
You know what I mean? Like number three. Yeah. Game #3. It's amazing. Yeah. So so that's that's that's pretty cool that they were able to to kind of do that and stuff. But let let's get into let's get into the game itself. Let's talk about the gameplay and Jiggy, I'm going to start with you because I asked Aaron sort of his experience with it. But did you have past experience with this before we started playing it again? And what'd you think? I did not have any past
experience with this. This is like one of those. This is strange. I've always had opportunity to play this game. Always. Never, never have I it like anytime it's anywhere. It's like, well, I'm I think the problem is I I was, you know I'm a bit younger. I got into the N64 in 99, so at that point I already had my first game was Donkey Kong 64,
People, people know this. And then we had Diddy Kong Racing, we had Mario Kart, we had all those why would I go to wave race when I could do hovercrafts in Diddy Kong Racing, you know? But it's, it's one of those, it's always been there and I've always been curious about it. So I'm happy to say that, you know, I got to play it and it was fun. I had fun. It was it was cool. I love the waves.
I it actually the game that pops into my head when I play this game because if this doesn't show you that I'm a bit younger is a Crash Bandicoot warped. Crash Bandicoot. Three, because there's a Jet Ski game play in that. Game, and I'm going to look that up real quick. That's all I could think of the entire time I'm like, this has got to be this is exactly like Crash Bandicoot Warped.
Which is funny because when I play Crash Bandicoot Warped, I had the back like back thought that I'm like this is this is probably what wave race is like like. It's the whole game. And it was. So, so you so you did you play it on Switch or where did you end up I? I did play it on Switch this time. Yeah, what it's available on there. I I played some of my my gameplay of of it on there as well.
The recording that I'm having running while we're recording and that's on the YouTube version of this of this episode, is me playing on the 64, so it doesn't look quite as sharp. I think that you know they they've done a pretty decent job of sharpening things up on the Switch online ones. So I I do think that they look pretty good. The colors pop a little bit more and stuff. How did you, how did you, how did it feel like? How did how did it control in your mind since you hadn't
played it previously? Well, since I used the N64 Switch online controller, it's. I imagine it's probably pretty similar to what you experienced, right? I personally, I was having a hard time really wrapping my head around like doing flips and stuff at first. Oh yeah, me too. Because it's almost like you have to, you have to angle yourself down or up and like get momentum and then kind of flip into it.
With the joystick it's it's different because you almost feel in other games you would go off the ramp. And you don't. OK, you hold down on the joystick and it would like slowly, like backflip or something. Yeah, I had to look. I had to look these up. I had no idea how to do. You have to whip it like you have to whip it. Whip it like you go down on the up, down and up and then.
Down and up would be good. I don't know what else you could do, but I got really good at backflips, so I backed. Really. All the time. I had a hard time with. I had a hard time with the tricks when I was racing. I wasn't really. Oh yeah, when you're racing, it's like, forget about it. It's only if it's convenient, which it rarely is. Rarely is and. Riding the waves was cool,
though. Like every once in a while you get a wave that like comes with you, like it pushes with you, and if you kind of maneuver your craft just right, you can sit on the top of it and ride it in. It gives you like a speed boost. It's that was cool. It is. Cool. I think they somehow they were able to to really like make the reaction that your craft or your racer has with the race it, with the waves.
I think sometimes it feels like it maybe makes you like, you know, move around a little too sharply sometimes. But I think that's also like, well, you just have to know how to react to those waves. Like that's just part of how the game feels, part of the gameplay. It's not, I wouldn't say it's necessarily a fault of the game, but I do. I did actually like the levels that were like the one, what was it called?
I should have them all pulled up, but it's the one that we had up on the video a minute ago where you're sort of like in the swamp area and stuff. Oh yeah, yeah. That one I think looks really great to to start. But also like I I kind of like that there aren't like a lot of waves bumping me around. But then you go to these levels, like this one, which is like the the fortress or something like that, and it's just. This. This one can lick my sack. I hate this fucking stage.
Dude, it's chaos. With the boxes and shit. Or maybe that was the one before, but I want the boxes fucked me up. Yeah, there's a couple of them with the boxes and the one and then you'd like the shortcuts and stuff like that. I so I I think that I for me, I like the way that that you do have to take the waves into account. They're not just there for show kind of thing, right? So like, we're talking about like the older versions of a game like this.
Waves are there, but they're like, for example, the Game Boy One. If there's a wave, there's like these arrows that point across the screen and it basically just pushes you left or right or back or forward a little bit. And that's kind of it. And I understand that's just the limitations of of a Game Boy. But with this, like a huge wave is coming, You have to like, prepare for it because it could
launch you over something. For example, that will give you a little bit of like a a shortcut or it could totally screw you up and you could like run into a wall or you can angle your craft the wrong way or whatever. And it's like you you gotta, you gotta pay attention. It's not just, it's not just press a or hold on to A and just go. So Aaron, what do you think, man? How'd you how'd you feel? Sort of picking it back up? It's weird, man.
So like, I'm a pretty big fan of of cart racers like Diddy Kong Racing. Of course Mario Kart, Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed. For anybody who's ever played that before, that was really fucking good. But yeah, coming from from those to this was really fucking difficult because like, I guess some of those games do have little water sections, but not nearly as. Like I don't want to say like complex, but like not nearly as. They're not. Real. Like real. Intense unwieldly.
Sometimes I. Feel. There we go. Unwieldly is a good fucking example because like, yeah, the first, my first, like first race on that first track, just that stupid Oval. All right. I couldn't. I was like, OK, I'll, I'll try to do a power slide around that. You know, that corner, you know, easy peasy. But of course you're on a jet ski on water. There's no, there's no power slides. There's no drifting. There's no drifting. Yeah, you just hit hit R1 or. Don't turn.
Yeah, turn to turn or not to turn? Yeah, it was. It was hard to kind of like what what Jiggy said. It was hard to like wrap your mind around like racing on water as opposed to like land. But like once you do kind of get a grip of of how the jet ski handles maybe like when you tweak your settings a little bit too, like make it the handling a little bit tighter and make it more like front end heavy or whatever. Yeah, once you get like a the handle of that, it's actually
pretty fun. Like a lot pretty fun. It's really fun. It's it's awesome. Did you did you tweak your your, your Craft settings a particular way and just get used to that? Or were you kind of like jumping around with stuff? I I jumped around a lot when I when I first tried trying to get used to the game, I did jump around a lot. Don't don't ever turn the the handling, like all the way up to light 'cause that sucks. Oh my God, the sharpest little turn and you you do like a
fucking. That's what was 780. Up. Yeah, 'cause I I was, I was playing on like, I don't know, like normal, I think. Right? Which is not easy to to play. Like it's it's hard. The, the, the, the normal definitely is very, very hard to win a race. And I I turned it up, 'cause I was like, I kind of screwed up in a couple turns. I think I made it like even like 2 notches higher than what I had like previously. And I was hitting walls. I was so I can make it.
I was just like what just happened? Like I couldn't. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I couldn't have to go back. Yeah, make it a little heavier. I forgot with. I think the third stat had something to do with like Boost or something else. I forget what that was. Yeah, and then the. Yeah, dash and. There's weight, yeah, There's weight. There's man, I should just go back to the. I should just go in this video and just check. Guys, I got. I am so prepared that I know
exactly what what it is here. Let's see, where is it? Where are. Things like Boost or. From there you go handling engine and here we go. Dash and Top End I don't. I don't get what the dash part means though. Does that Is that like acceleration or like? I think that's what it is, yeah. So I think if you go to dash, it's more the acceleration. If you go to Top end, it's your top speed.
That's how I and I I think that is the case, 'cause I think I I went a little bit more to Top end because as long as you're hitting all your all the the checkpoints, that extra couple of miles or kilometers per hour on certain races, especially ones that don't have tons of waves, I think felt like it made it an actual difference, like I felt like it was actually going faster. The other ones, what is it? Gripper handling? I can't remember which one of those where it yeah, it completely.
That's the one that completely screwed up my steering it. Was. I think so. Good. I couldn't do it. I think, yeah, that's the one I fucked up as well too, 'cause like, if you go too loose, like the slightest turn just sends you on in a Whirlpool, man, it sucks. Don't ever do that. Yeah, it I I I think I played a couple races with normal just just because just try it with the IT seemed fine. Like it's not like you're at a disadvantage necessarily. I think a lot of it is.
I think the easy difficulty or like the the opening championship thing. A lot of it for me felt like it was. This is where you can kind of get used to what you want to use, and then once you get to the normal one, I got my ass whooped constantly. It was so hard. I don't know, Jiggy, did you get that far? Did you play into like the other difficulties? No good.
No, absolutely not. I I yeah, I've decided after our Earthworm gym 3D experience I wanted to take things easy from now on and that's that's that's gone through even to my normal. So I not to divert from this game but I borrowed Super Mario RPG from my my little brother nice for the Switch, the Switch remake. I'm super excited and there's the Breezy mode and normal mode, and like I would always pick normal mode for everything, but I picked Breezy and I'm really enjoying it. Nice.
That's good, man. Hey, who? Who cares? You're having fun, right? That's. Exactly. You're having fun. Who fucking cares? Who? Gym 3D made me wanna play games easy for. A while Aaron, please avoid that game it it will break you. I've played it and it's, it's it's garbage, Yeah, yeah. We we have an episode on that. And I I think, I think there was stuff that we were like, oh this is this is all right. But for the most part, it was like son of a bitch. It sucks.
It's one of those games you see the glimpse of. It could be good, it could be fun, but it's just they just fail on everything basically. Yeah, it just does not come together in a in a pretty in a decent package. So I wanted to make sure that we that we covered some of the
music and the sound. I want to for sure, you know what I'll do soundtrack is I'm going to start with because I'm already on it. I'm going to start with how the races start and let me know if you guys can hear this, but I think you'll be able to do it. Oh no, come on, sound. Sound. Why isn't it working? That's weird. It should work. No. All I can think of is Mario Kart music, so I'll fill it in. Why isn't it working? That's so strange shit. Oh God, it's still in my head
now. Well, that. Somebody's joined me in my little singing moments. Dude that I do that shit all the time on my show, so. Perfect. Come on, come on, super pod saga. Sometime we'll we'll we'll doodly doodle long, dude. Let's. Doodly do to do it. Oh my God, of course. Oh man, OK, I forgot. Fun fact.
Please do what's? Up a fun fact, when this game was re released on the Wii Virtual Console, the licensing for the Kawasaki stuff was up. So all the advertisements and Kawasaki related stuff was replaced with Wii, Nintendo DS and 64 like posters and banners and stuff. Just. 'Cause they, yeah, I guess, 'cause they would have had to, right? That's, yeah. Did they you think they had to get it like renewed for the for the Switch online thing or is it
had it? Renewed for Wii U, so I'm assuming that that just like transferred over. Oh, is it on Switch? I didn't even realize if it was OK. It is on switch. Yeah, it's all. Yeah, so they must have just signed for 20 years or whatever it is, or 30 years we use Older than than I probably realized. Ripped to a real one. Love that fucking thing, dude. Yeah, it's yeah. Jesus. Oh man, I am insanely disappointed the sound is not working. Well, you know what? The sound is really great.
And instead, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to insert the music right here. Guys. Wasn't that beautiful? Wow, it was so. Beautiful. You heard it. It was great. It was so. Great. I really love the the really stupid ones that I love are the the third and fourth goal ones for like when you finish a race in like third or fourth place, they're so they're so chill. And then, like, they're just so,
so good. Like so it's so funny because the guy that's commenting is like, oh, you're in second, you're in, you're 10 seconds behind, you're 4th, you're 3 seconds ahead or whatever. And then when you come in like third or fourth, he just goes try harder or. He's not even close. Oh, too bad. All right. Like he, like, insults you. He just goes from being like you said. He goes from being like kind of friendly and like encouraging to what the hell is wrong with you? Race better, essentially.
OK, OK. OK. OK. OK, going zipping through checkpoint after checkpoint on the fortress place dude. Oh my God. Oh yeah, that's. Right, my hero. OK, OK. You left everybody high Max power. Yeah. Also then let you hear the engine Rev too just rear. Yeah, dude. You feel it. You feel the power. It's it's it's definitely I think it definitely enhances the the game though like I I do think that the I do think that the the music and the sound effects and stuff are are pretty
good. I do appreciate that that they they kind of made sure that that was a good solid part of the game. You know, it's not, it's not this massive soundtrack, It's not like you have a million different sounds or whatever, but like they could have easily just done wave noises and the the engines very basic and then just called it a day, 'cause that's kind of what a lot of stuff at that time was doing anyways, right?
So. Yeah, you could have licenses that like holy shit licensed it out and made like all all Rob Zombie all the time on this fucker like they did with Twisted Metal Four or some shit instead. Yeah, Nintendo was like, no, dude, they fucking with the sick fucking soundtrack for this. And even like Blue Storm, they they really, really fucking awesome job on on these games in the soundtrack. Like bring it back. I'll fucking choke whoever I need to to get this God damn
serious back, dude. It's so fun, yeah. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try this sound and see if it works OK. No, no. Dragula. Come on through the bitches. Do you imagine, like, ripping through these fucking checkpoints, Dragula? There's only one perfect band for this, though, and it's Nickelback. Oh God, oh man. Don't drag my photograph. Don't drag the Canadian embarrassments into this. Creep. Please, creep.
Can you take the? Effort of having that band, like having an actual band and they make their lyrics like they they change them up so that they're related to what's happening in the game. So it's it's about Jet Skis or something, right? It's like, can you Rev me higher? Look. At this jet waves where the score lines are something like that, I don't know. Oh my God. Never made it as a jet ski. Couldn't cut it as a jet ski? Then this is how you jet ski. Holy fuck, cut that part out.
Don't leave it in. Fuck it. Are you kidding? There's no way that's that's not staying in. It is. You know what? Actually, I think I found the new theme song for the entire show. It's like like that one episode of Futurama with the the, the, the, the sex spots or whatever. It's like hello there Phillip Jay Fry. Oh man, I'm so disappointed. I couldn't play it. I thought we could all just jam out. But you know what? I appreciated the the renditions, gentlemen.
I think that it was that was beautiful. I think So, Jiggy. We talked a little bit about Aaron, stepped away for two seconds. We talked a little bit about doing some of the tricks in this game 'cause the racing is one thing, but there is a a a sort of, you know, stunt mode that you can play. And look at that trick, man, I suck at doing these. I me too, could not figure it out. I looked them up and I still couldn't pull them off.
That one, that one trick that just happened on stream where she just, like stuck her arm out like that, is that really a trick? I think so. It just like. You're just signaling a turn, bro. Like that's not. No hands. I can grab my jet ski with no handlebars. No handlebars. Fucked. Except. Except with one hand on the handlebars like. Because otherwise you'd just be flying the fuck off like one big
wave and you're you're toasted. That has happened to me before in the game where I've hit a huge wave, like going too fast, and maybe I was. I was pressing forward 'cause you can kind of like lean forward a little bit, I noticed. I don't know if it does anything to your speed and then the the the racer just falls right off the the jet ski it was like. Shit. Oh shit. Yeah, he's as drunk as fuck. Yeah, all the Coors Lights, all the. What else would be a sponsor for
this? That would be a a a Sapporo maybe? Because. Because. Of clomato or or Clomato? The, the, the, the clam, The clam juice. Yeah, man, That's the that's the the Canadian. It's a Caesar. That's, that's what you got right there. That's what that is. Caesar. Yeah, man. Oh my gosh. That's what that's it says. I do not like them at all. I think they're gross, but people love them. I don't know.
I don't. Know nothing, says nothing, says Kawasaki. Your day on the beach like a fucking Caesar or Clamato or whatever. Tomato and clam juice, yeah. Yeah, dude. Disgusting. On a really hot, humid day, just clam juice and tomato and I think it's vodka. I think so. No, I'm not. I am not for that at all. Oh, look at that. Oh, I almost did a trick, but instead I hit a a pillar. Yeah, I I couldn't figure out the tricks.
I think the stunt mode thing I tried, you go through rings to get a couple rings, you go off a couple of jumps to to to get some more points and stuff. But I found it a little too tough to pull them off and I was like, I'd rather just race, honestly, at the end of the day. So yeah, like I I think that I think the levels, I don't know if you guys had favorite levels. Do you guys have any favorites? Any particular ones, even if you don't know the name off hand, but.
I really like this one though. This like swamp one. That one's cool. Yeah. But I will say I had a least favorite and it it wasn't the one that's like got the cranes and stuff. It was. It was like track. I want to say it was track number two or three, I can't remember. It's like it was almost a just an Oval, but you'd have to be really tight around the corners or you'd go flying out of the buoys. Like it just kept happening to me and it was really annoying.
Oh yeah, this one was kind of cool too. The Twilight City one where it is. Like Twilight City. Yeah, that one's cool. It it looks cool. Like it looks interesting right? It's almost like you're you're you're racing through like a a cyberpunk type of type of thing. You're just. I don't know it, it looked. Interesting. Oh, that's cool. That like city with the spotlights on it. I I liked the 1st two. I think like the swamp one and like the very beginning one are
really, really cool. They have all those cool little set pieces and shit, like the animals and the dolphins and shit jumping around and the cool reflections on the water. I fucking cannot stand the one with the boxes in the water. Fuck those boxes and whoever dropped them there and the the the, the fortress one because they like that. I think that one has like the little spiky. Minds. Yeah, why? Yeah, why are minds popping up? Why are minds on these on these race tracks? What?
Right. Why is that the? Thing where you in? That that happens in the in the normal difficulty they they throw them. In so if you do easy breezy, you don't have to deal with any mines. It's great. It's, it's, it's great. You should have to worry about dying. I thought they would explode. I was a little disappointed they actually didn't explode. It's hard enough. It is you. Don't gonna you don't gonna add mines to the mix. Yeah. That's true, dude.
You imagine the movie Death Race, but with Jet skis? That'd be cool. That that is the end. That is, the hard difficulty in this game is Death Race. There's there's snipers just chilling up there. This this track is really, really cool dude. It is. I like this one. Yeah, this one looks really, it looks a lot different than the rest, cause technically, I think technically it's supposed to be outside, but it's all at night time, which I don't know that
any other ones are. There's multiple ramps and like you said, Aaron, like the set pieces is what's cool about these because there's multiple points where like things are happening around you that changes from the lap before. And I love when games do that just in general. It also it also like lets you replay a level so you know when that thing's coming because it could be a shortcut or something like that. And and this level kind of feels that way a little bit, which is fun.
So yeah, this one. 'S fine. I don't know it'd be a cool a cool idea for if they did bring the the series back make it like did you guys ever play either like split second or I I I think Jiggy said he you played Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed or whatever. Like with with yeah with that one the I think it's like each lap the the track kind of changes a little bit. That'd be cool if they would bring back wave race and kind of
do that like each lap. You may be something like in in fucking split second you can blow up parts of the track and it affects like the rest of the race. Like you can cause a skyscraper to like close off one Rd. So you have to go this way or like that. That'd be a cool thing to do with with Jet skis, you know?
And I know because you could just like move the buoys or something like you can just kind of move things around a little bit or have like a ramp that was underwater before and the water lowers and now you got a ramp there, you know, like something like that would be kind of cool. Yeah. One thing I would. Like if you ever played another Sonic game, different Sonic game, Sonic Riders. No. Yes, you could like.
Both of them. You could have different types of vehicles or characters with different like you could have a speed type of fly type, of power type, and then you could get alternate tracks depending on what type you have. So you can take like different shortcuts. So like it'll say fly and you go to the left and then you go off big ramps and then you go like fly through the sky or something or power. You like busting walls, Like I
love stuff like that. And having those options would create a little more variety with like customizability too, which I think could be super cool. Yeah, that's a good. That's a good idea. Really cool. I like that. I also really like. I mean, I I assume just because you guys have played all these other games that I have not and are also racing games in a way. You guys play the SSX series at all. Oh yeah, I love, yeah, Ricky,
SSX, is it three or two? I think it's three that I had for the original Xbox is probably one of my favorite sports games and racing games of all time. I I think it's incredible. I think it's one of the the most perfect sports games ever. But EA and EA big made lots of those and with like EA and then Midway and like those style of games that just don't exist anymore, which is unfortunate. But those games, like snowboarding games more specifically I guess have those races where it's.
I mean, some other racing games do too, but those ones stick out to me where it's just from A to B. You know, you're not doing laps, you're just kind of going down the hill and this, you could just go from A to B across, you know, a track that's made, you know, in the middle of the ocean or something like that. And that could be cool too. Yeah, Kind of a similar thing where it's like maybe the track itself isn't changing per SE, but you're not repeating
yourself. So, like, adding those types of tracks could be kind of, and it doesn't have to be like super complicated. It's just a different setting and one that like changes as you go kind of thing so. Makes me think of in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater when they have downhill jam, like it's just fundamentally and everything else and you're going downhill constantly. It's it's kind of a cool breakaway from just a normal format of running laps. Exactly.
Exactly. It doesn't have to be a mode, even per SE, or it doesn't have to be like every two races, that's what you do, One out of every circuit. You know, whenever, every like 5 you can, you can have one of those. Yeah, give us a boost. That would be dope. There's a boost in the Game Boy One. There's a boost in the Game Boy One. What if there is in the game Cube One? Yeah this is me doing stunts. I I terrible. This is me. I was just like going like this at the joystick.
He's like wee all that arm would. Be. Good. And I could never, I could never come in first. I tried for about 20 minutes and I was like, OK, I came in second and and every time the the voice over guy is just like you almost did it. Yeah, you almost did it. I'm like, ah shit. Oh, for the for the the sequel on the GameCube, you can pick up turbos and stuff, but there's also like different weather conditions as well. Like of course waves. But then there's yeah, there's
like rain. Damn, that's really really cool that. Would be very cool. Yeah, I gotta check that out. I mean, I don't have a GameCube, but I can, you know, obviously there's ways to play it.
Oh yeah, but that would be cool now that I've played this, you know, it's another thing too, is like, I think this is, this is kind of perfect to be. This is one of those games that really works well to be on the Switch online because you don't have to spend a ton of time playing it to get the gist of it. And then you can kind of go back and play a circuit or play a race or whatever. What is that? What are you pointing at? I can't say. That's your GameCube. Oh, that's your GameCube. Oh.
It's one of them. Oh, one of them up. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I. Just wanted to say I have a spare. You have a spare. That's nice. Yeah, must be that. Like my my good old black game cube that I've been running since I was. I don't know 10 or how. It's an OG. It's a It's an OG one, yeah. Oh yeah, they're all. I only buy the OG ones because they have the digital ports on back. Oh yeah, forgot. Well my my OGSNES is still running from 90. Three, I think is when. I am dude.
It's yellow. It's not yellow. There was no impressed but it but it's definitely not the color it's supposed to be like it's it's it's faded and stuff. Yeah, but no yellow no yellow anymore. Yeah, yeah. It's definitely not the not the shiny Gray. It's all dark Gray but no yellowing. But I but it would. I've seen like videos online and stuff for like, even though it's that you can still clean it and it'll look sharper and look look new and stuff. One day I want to do that.
I like the look of that console. I know some people prefer like the Japanese 1, the Famicom, but I I like, I like that one too. So, super. Nintendo looks fine, yeah. I like the plane. Yeah, exactly right. And it ain't no, it's like a genesis, but. I I like the I like the SNES better. I like. The way No, I think that. I think this nest actually looks cooler. Yeah, Genesis kind of Harkins back to like Atari days. I feel like it looks more like traditional home console,
whereas this nest is just like. Let's just pop it in, baby, pop it in and flip the flip the flip thing. Flip the flip. I always forget that it had like the power switch, the middle eject button as a kid. We would just. Pull. You just pull the game out and say you never, never use that. Like, it's probably a good idea, 'cause it's less likely to probably damage your cartridge. But as a kid, you're not doing that shit, man. You just taking that thing right
out. I've got fucking places to go and then Lunchables to eat. God damn it, I'm not wasting any fucking time. Mom said it's lunchtime. I gotta go. These dunkaroos aren't gonna eat themselves. Eat themselves? Hell no. I white icing Dunkaroos or the chocolate ones. They have chocolate ones. Yeah, they did. I only remember the. Yeah, they had them for us. I only remember the white ones. Oh, really? Oh, I oh. This isn't just a meat thing, OK?
I I probably had the white ones. I've never had a chocolate. One, yeah, that was a chocolate one. I mean I prefer, I prefer the the icing ones, but but yeah, we had that option, we had that and also like we had ones that were very similar, but they were the gram, the the little like honey gram bears. Did you guys have those? Yeah. Teddy Graham, Teddy Grahams, That's it. Teddy Grahams. They had those. They started making.
Once Dunkaroos got popular, it started putting those in like Dunkaroo containers and like having their own version of that as like, competition. Interesting. Yeah. And they and they had like icing and stuff. So it'd be like a Teddy Graham that tastes like honey with like chocolate, chocolate, sort of icing or whatever it was considered. All right, let me tell you why. That sounds good. Yeah, it was good. There was Keebler Elf, like, you know, like El Fudge cookies and stuff.
Yeah, they made little s'mores ones that were like like you could. I know those. And then Graham crackers, a small bar of chocolate. And then like marshmallow sauce. Oh, that sounds. And I loved just just caking the thing with marshmallow sauce. Eating it and then like licking the marshmallow sauce out of the little package like it was the best, yeah. It was the best at that point. You can't. You have to do it. You can't just let it sit there.
You gotta you gotta do something with it, right. So. What the Frick? You just did a handstand. Yeah, that's one of the moves that I looked up. It's one of the moves I looked up, it was something about like you have to do you have to press A and do forward and back or something like that in the mid air, which is it's it looks cool, but then I get all these points and I still come in second place.
Yeah, it's like you have like this perfect run and I'm like how the hell am I supposed to do this? I I played it for a bit and I'm like, OK, yeah, I'm going to go back to racing. So you're one of those people that actually puts your initials in. OK, so that's. Yes, I always do. I always, I always. It's. That's another thing too. And this reminded me. For me there is. One name that goes in a three letter slot. A, a, a. And I bet you can. Figure it out.
Is it ass or is it just a? A. A. Yes. No, it's. Oh, that's a good point. I guess there's two names that it could. Be it's either a car service or it is your rear end. It's one of the exactly Oh my God, no, I do you know what it is? On that I I got used to always doing it because one of the cool things about my initials is that and I want to do this when I when I have a kid too. Is that I wanna I wanna see if I can make their middle name.
I I don't know what is it what's what is it when it's is it chronological You know what I mean where it's it's it's an order. So when I would have to put my name in in a in an arcade when I got a high score like for example With this when it gets you to like calculate your score it was D and then I would just move over to J and move over to Pi wouldn't have to go like A. Oh. Like over to P? Yeah, yeah, You wouldn't have to zigzag. You just go down.
I just go down the alphabet and it was always satisfying. I don't know what that is. I don't know why that's a thing, but I was like, fuck yeah, my name has my initials have that Dang. So I don't know that's that was so that's one of the reasons why I do it is because it's easy. It's easy, OK? Yeah, it's easy, yeah. Yeah, I like doing Asks 'cause it's funny, I just chuckle to myself. I'll get like I'll die halfway through Metal Slug 3 and then then punch it ass and I'll be
like. Everything's OK now. Everything's all good now. Yeah, dude. You know this, this game is very arcadey. Yes. We didn't really talk about that, but it's very home arcade, which is something you typically see from Sega. I feel a little bit more than other companies. Yeah, so kind of a cool 64 title for that reason, I think. Yeah, And I think, I think the sound, the music, the announcers, all that stuff plays
to it as well. And that's one of the reasons why I think the Hydro Thunder thing sort of popped up in my head too. Not just because it's it's it's racing on water, but all those things kind of felt like if you put this in an arcade, you could, you could, you could put quarters into this thing and people would play it, you know, play a race for for $0.50 or for 1/4 or something like that. And I think it would it would work. Surprised it wasn't. Me too.
When you really think about it, you you could, I would easily put a couple dollars of quarters into this and play a few races with friends. Even if it was two player and the and the computer was the other two. I I would do that. I think it'd be. Fun. I would easily put a single dollar in and play and then quit and then go do something else like Cubert. Cubert. Dude, then go get my ass kicked that Mortal Kombat. I love. I love Galaga. It's a great game. Galaga.
'S good. Yeah, Galaga's one of the classics, man. That's that's one of the really good classics in my opinion too. I I like that our our arcades around here were not very good. So like they were at movie theaters and there was like 1 stand alone one. By the time we were like 8 years old, it was gone. Like it was, it was just past. Unfortunately, it was just past this time. By the time the mid 90s came around, this was here. So this is, you know, this is
what you played instead, right? Obviously. Oh yeah. For sure. You know. Yeah, we just we just played. Go ahead, dude. Oh, I was just going to say. And then the arcades, like they started stepping it up and they're like, Oh well, you actually sit on a jet ski and wind blows in your face and you. Yeah, yeah, dude. Yeah, we had a again another another Iowa thing. We have what's called the Pizza Ranch. It's a pizza place which has a buffet.
No, we're going to stop right there, because I freaking love Pizza Ranch it. It's so. Good. It is so. Good. I miss it. I'm from Wisconsin and we had Pizza Ranch. I love Pizza Ranch. You go there, it's. Awesome. Dude, it's a it's like, AII guess you compare it to like ACC's or something like it's like a pizza buffet and you go in and they have all sorts of pizzas made. But you go and you'd be like, is
there any pizza you want? And you're like Mac and cheese with like stuffed crust or something. That was very specific. That's what my brother always ordered, actually. It got a little bit fried chicken. But I love it. Fried chicken is good, dude. And I would go in and I would get like they have soft serve ice cream. I would just immediately go put soft serve ice cream in my cup and go put soda in it and make a float. And it was a good day every time you went to pizza.
Ranch. Damn, that sounds amazing. Dude. Oh, my God. Dave, come on down to the Midwest, my man. Oh, they have this breakfast. Or not. Perfect this like dessert pizza that'll blow your fucking. It's it's pizza. Or it's like no, that is it cactus. It's a cinnamon one, right? Yeah, they they also have blueberry and they have cherry. They have apple. It's it's like this like crispy crust with like a like a glaze drizzled on it with like cinnamon and sugar and like little pie fillings.
Basically like they have a cherry and like blueberry. Dude, it sounds like a pie. Like sounds like basically. The one is like, it's like the the like if you ever had like an apple crumbly pie, like I love apple. Crumble, Apple. Crumbly. That's what it is. And they have an Apple version, and they have just a Cinnamon version and it's it's Aw man. Oh shit. These these places still exist?
I'm still around. Yeah, yeah, I I can drive like 20 minutes that way and go to one right now, like a little live stream myself. I really eat. So I mean, I really, I really don't trust. I really don't trust getting it across the border, but if you go I will pay for the postage to get it here. I I don't know about that one, man. I think it. Probably cost me like $65 just to get it across the border. Oh God, you're probably better off just getting a plane ticket and flying out, yeah?
Yeah, it's like it's like us when people want to go to concerts or or or especially like sporting events and stuff like that. It's cheaper to sometimes drive to like Buffalo or to Pennsylvania to go to the concert than to pay for it here 'cause it's so friggin expensive. Really. God, yeah. Dude, it's nuts. It's insane sometimes. But this one? Man. It's. A whole. It's a whole state or over from me. Oh shit. I'm from Wisconsin, but I moved to North Carolina, so now I'm
just like, you know? Everybody makes mistakes, dude. What the fuck is he called this from Wisconsin? Culver's. Culver's is like the shit. I still have Culver's. Culver's. Still have it in North Carolina? Do that. Where you go, it's good. It's Yep. Consistency. It's just a it's just a burger, a good burger place like. They're just smashed with like, butter and shit. Or, however they do it, the butter burgers. They call it a butter burger and it's just it's just great. Bread and butter.
Fried battered cheese curds. Yep, cheese curds. Oh my God, this is gonna kill me when I look for these places next time I go down. You know what I did? I would take, I would take a burger. And this is at Culver's. I still do it. Take a Burr. You open it up right? You order some. They have like melted cheddar cheese. That's like it's like Nacho cheese, but it's better. It's like 'cause it's actual cheddar is it's actual cheddar or quote UN quote, cheddar.
You put you put that on. Oh, it's from Wisconsin. We don't mess around. OK, that's cheese heads, yeah. It's legit. Yeah, cheese heads. Yeah, you dump that cheese on the burger and then you can put some deep fried cheese curds on top and you seal it up and. Sorry, what do you do? What was that? Like a like a part of the cop I guess. Yeah, typewriter. Yeah, I don't love, but we had
the same idea. I know we're supposed to be talking about wave race, but but Danny, what's like what's the best fast food in in in Canada that you've come across or or in your are they are they provinces? Is that what they're called? Not states, but like? Provinces. I'll connect it, OK? What's the best food you could see yourself eating while riding one handed on a jet ski? You know what? It's OK. So I don't frequent fast food all that much like I used to. I know.
But the the the problem with that is like, if it's like a place that just arrived, I wouldn't even know. But I know you guys have these two. Five Guys is really damn good. Five Guys is really good. There's also like a couple of like, what the Hell's it called now? It's like, I think it's. I think it's actually specifically like a Toronto thing. What the fuck is the place called? But it's another burger joint where you get like multiple patties for like a really good
deal. And it's just, it always just like tastes fresh. But I will say there's one place that I don't think exists anymore. When we were growing up in high school, we would go, during our lunch, the one guy who had a car, we'd go to this place called TCS and it was a Greek fast food place. But they served, yeah, but they served really like big burgers and had like a huge thing of fries on the side, all made like, like, not not burgers out of the freezer with like like
handmade burger things. And you'd get this amazing sort of handmade fast food. If that even is not an oxymoron, it probably is. And it would be, I don't know. At the time, it was like $9, which is like unreal now and unreal for a kid in high school too. So if I would go to anywhere, if it still existed, it actually would be like a 15 minute walk from my house for where I live now. If it still existed that would
be the one burger. Or if I could hold the whole tray with all the fries, cause the fries are really good. I would do that while riding my jet ski. Hell. Yeah, the fries are the best part of Five guys because they, like, fill the bag, No. Matter. And they're and they're good fries, right? Sometimes. Sometimes you can get the burger and the fries are just kind of like, yeah, whatever, they're they're afterthought, which is for me. I don't love McDonald's fries.
I know a lot of people love them, but for me, they're just kind of like. All right. For me, they're the standard. They're like, that's what you strive to be. And if you can be better, great. But if you're worse, I'm like, I'm just gonna get McDonald's fries. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. But I don't expect anything exceptional out of them, but they're always consistent. I guess it's probably exactly that's what and that's what they're going for. That's the McDonald's thing, I
guess, right? So. Let me tell you something, you go. To find they just exist. Yeah, they just exist. So you get a milkshake, right? And you can get it with the Oreo bits in it right? You can get like Oreo bit I just discovered You can also get the Oreo cream which is separate. You can get both of them injected into your milkshake. Oh my fucking God dude. Dude, I'm telling you, try it. Liquefied Oreo cookies. Just put that in an IV and call me dead. It's fantastic.
It's a good way to go. It's a good way to go. It sounds it sounds worth it. Just by Oreo, just. By Oreo. Oh. Man, all those newspapers in the water, dude. Yeah. Right. Also, I just ran into a box in the last lap of the last race, which it's a beautiful game, so. It actually is a really big game. Like the graphics are really good, the water looks good, the models look good. Like look at look at this for the pilot wings. I mean, pilot wings, You were a cylinder.
And this? You're a full human on a jet ski. Yeah, you know what? That's a good point, 'cause it came out at the same time they were essentially launch titles. This for sure is a much more complex and better looking game for sure. Well, maybe, maybe not complex in different ways. I guess you could call it like. Oh, I mean, I think the water. I think so many games struggled to make water look this good, Even GameCube. Era.
Even now. I can see now now it's Unreal Engine. You slap a coat of paint on it. Play. Play Sea of Thieves and you'll probably have the best water you. Know that's that's what I was gonna get too. It's the best. It's so good. It's so beautiful. Yeah. It it reacts well and and your ship reacts well to it. It looks amazing whether you're on top of it or or in the water like it's it's great. Yeah, that that's the standard to me. That is, it is the new standard.
It is beautiful. Yeah, yeah. It's amazing. Yeah. This has to be the standard for BF or N64 maybe even like PS1 because like just based off of memory Mario 64 just had it was just it was just like opaque blue. Like it was just just blue just there. And I can't think of PS1 games where you swim but I guess I'm thinking about croc and that was that's probably also blew. I can't recall any games that had water that looked like this, and it's. There, there is none.
I mean speaking from going through like every rare N64 game, which arguably the later Rare games are probably some of the best looking games in the console, Water never looked this good like this is. It would just be blue. It would be a little bit see through, like a little bit transparent, or it would be blue and it would just have. Like there it might like have some motion in it and that makes it look a little better I think. But not just like wave physics and. That's the thing.
It's it's not just the way it looks. It's like the way that all the physics work with it too. Like that matters. It is. Mario 64 the paintings when you jump in and like the metal for Yeah, yeah, that that is how this water looks. Yeah, looks like what's it called? Is it the T1000 in Terminator 2? Is that? That's what. That's what going into those paintings looks like in Mario 64. That's what I always am reminded of. It's something looks like, yeah. What's his name?
He walks through the bars. You know, Is it T1000? Is that what the bad guy is in in T2? I think it's T1000. Or is that what Terminator? Is a liquid metal. Yeah, liquid metal. Yeah, exactly. Which also at that time was like it was like ground breaking technology to make that, which was kind of what this game has. This is the T, the T2 of the N64. That that's what. That's what this is. T2 of the N 60. T2 of the N64 Wave Race 64. Boom. Put it on the box. OK, so I'm we're all hungry now.
It's late at night, but we should just go get some fast food instead. Aaron, I want to say thanks for coming on the show, man. This was this was a blast. And thank you for teasing me with really good fast food that I will probably almost never get a chance to have. That's fine man. Thank you for having me on and also indulging me with some some Canadian goodies that I'll have to check out if I if I ever happened to cross the border
over there someday. I mean, I've watched enough Handmaid's Tale to to know that someday I'll have to go to Canada for for, you know, I don't know if if if Jiggy has ever seen Handmaid's Tale, but it's pretty fucked. It's it's pretty fucked. It's all, it's all filmed in Toronto and a few of them other the like the fancy houses where they live and stuff is like 15 minutes for me. It's like down the street it's yeah, it's it's it's a tough watch but it is a very good, it's very good.
It's a very tough watch but it's very good. But yeah, thanks for having me on the Yeah. No worries. Don't worry. Handmade sale. Yeah, it's fucked up, but it's it's yeah, no worries, man. Jiggy, what's been going on lately for for yourself with the YouTube channel and everything. How's, how's it all? How's it all going, man? How's it all going? You busy, man?

can. Took a weekend off and now we're back at it and the next game on the docket. I'm not sure when you plan on having this release, but I'm sure people will be able to see it.
