[upbeat music] Josh Brown, there's a new Star Fox. Have you seen the new Star Fox?

Josh Brown· Host0:13

Um, I haven't directly seen it- Fox ... but I know it's back.

Scott Tailford· Host0:16

Yeah.

Josh Brown· Host0:16

I've seen a few screenshots from it. Um, why did this drop at a random ass time on a- I- ... Thursday night?

Scott Tailford· Host0:23

Si messaged me- Wednesday night ... saying, um, saying, "Weird timeline," or something, with a screenshot of the, of the, the reveal, the k- the key art for the new game. And I was like, "Is this real? Like, what the hell?" And, uh, yeah, turns out Shigeru Miyamoto just posted on, like, Twitter or whatever, five minutes before the director saying, "Hey, please in- please join us for this live stream where we unveil this Star Fox game." I think, um, that they literally did it because the whole thing leaked anyway. Like, it had- Oh ... leaked for, like, the last sort of two months. Like, Nate the Hate got out there, uh, Mr. Nintendo Ruiner himself, and just said, "Hey, by the way, there's gonna be a Star Fox reveal." Um, and then that, that's happened. I can't think which game it happened with before, but there was something else that leaked on Nintendo's side, and they, they... They've done it a bunch of times where they've canceled games 'cause they've leaked before. But, like, there was something else that was gonna get a teaser trailer, and everyone was like, "It's gonna be this." And Nintendo were like, "Well, we're not doing it now."

Josh Brown· Host1:06

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Scott Tailford· Host1:07

And I just feel like they were like, "Well, we have to do it 'cause the game's almost finished. It has to come out." And they were like, "Well, we're just not gonna do any fanfare for it, so pfft, there you go." And it was like, yeah, it just dropped within five minutes of the announcement.

Josh Brown· Host1:16

I like it. I think it's more exciting to do it that way- It is a bit ... than to build up to it, you know?

Scott Tailford· Host1:20

I do love a shadow drop ...

Josh Brown· Host1:21

to just say, "Hey, you weren't expecting this- Mm-hmm ... unless you've been following the leaks, but, hey, look at this thing we've got. It's- I wasn't expecting- ... happening in 10 minutes, baby ...

Scott Tailford· Host1:27

yeah, I wasn't expecting it to just be randomly on a, on a
