We are back! Jairus and I talk about E3 2021. Hear us gush about the Nintendo Direct and me praise the return of Halo Multiplayer. We also talk about the Summer Games Fest and Elden Ring!
Everyone is excited and confused about Nintendo‘s newest Switch add-on: cardboard. Nintendo Labo‘s initial set will have a starting cost of $70. They are DIY (Do it Yourself) box builds Toy-cons. There will be two starter sets released. One is an Variety Kit that can changed into different Toy-cons. It can transform into 5 different types.
A remote-controlled car. The vibrations from the Joy-Con serve to provide momentum and steering to the car. The game software allows the player to control the car like a normal remote-controlled vehicle.
A fishing rod where the Joy-Con sit in the reel and the handle of the rod. The game receives motion input from the Joy-Con to simulate a fishing game.
A toy piano with a full octave of keys; the console sits atop this to serve as a music stand.
A motorbike with Joy-Con inserted into the handlebars on either side of the tablet for steering.
A house containing a slot to insert different components that can interact with the game software on the Console’s display.
The second is the Robot Kit. Its a mecha suit that includes a visor which holds the Switch and a backpack that holds the Joy-Con. The game allows a player to rampage through a virtual world presented on the console’s screen. Both boxes will come with a game for the Switch to create a AR game. The tablet and controllers are key to creating a stimulation of movement. Nintendo said the product was “specifically crafted for kids and those who are kids at heart.”
If you’ve been waiting to try Dragon Ball FighterZ, the beta will launch on Saturday, January 13th if you have pre-ordered the game. For everyone else, it’ll launch on Sunday, January 14th. The beta will launch with 11 different characters from the original 20 roster. The beta will only be for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and end on January 16.

If you are a PlayStation 4 owner and don’t have PlayStation Plus membership, you can play ANY online multiplayer game starting from November 15th10am GMT, through to Monday 20th, 10am GMT. This would help with the release of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and Call of Duty: WW2 for any players who may want to buy memberships during the Holiday season. A smarter business move would do it during the Thanksgiving holiday which would encourage more people to purchase the games and have more time to try the multiplayer.
