What's going on boys and girls what's up well the Austin John plays here and
today I want to talk about Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go Evie never ever
ever being shown off in handheld mode so as I mentioned I always check my Twitter
have you guys need to get a hold of me be sure to tweet me at Austin John plays
Smurfs Jones just being Frank said basta John plays have you played let's go in
handheld mode if so what do you think about it I'm not much of one that plays
in TV mode and I can't find anything about how it plays in handheld mode
neither can i when I played it it was in doc mode whenever I saw coverage of
anyone playing it it was in doc mode during special events during a Nintendo
events sponsored media events always in doc mode well one that's what allows you
to plug in a capture car that way you can actually capture footage of it but
more importantly I've just never seen in handheld mode even at the old old old
event in New York and lost something where they have like that special event
they're premiering breath of the wild everyone got to play for 20 minutes
great time there were head held stations that you got to play like Mario Cart a
deluxe in handheld mode and there were some events had tabletop mode a lot of
the things had a doc mode but now that I'm thinking about it is this game gonna
suck in handheld mode let's grab ourselves a switch this is the smash
switch hey it's myself in reflection I mean obviously in doc mode they're gonna
be throwing your joique on like this it's a very fine exactly a 90-degree
movement I don't know if you could do a curve if so it hasn't really been talked
about I haven't seen that mechanic implementing anything although they did
say that they were working on it it just wasn't ready to show off I don't know if
it's ready to show off to throw the pokeballs in Pokemon let's go Pikachu
and let's go Eevee it's a very precise movement like this
or with pokeball plus you're gonna be holding it I'll grab my pokeballs stress
ball that's a great example of it we're gonna be holding it and then throwing it
like this and then you have your joystick that also pushes in and that's
it like that let's go back to the joy count joy counts so in doc mode I'm
gonna be going like that in tabletop mode and have it in front of you and you
be going like that or if it's on an angle you're gonna be going like that or
if it's on the horrible kickstand it's gonna be going like that if you were
gonna play in handheld mode that sound isn't nearly as satisfying of the
switches not on where you have like the audible that Sam does that mean you're
gonna have to go like this if so I'm not comfortable doing that
are you comfortable taking your $300 console and flicking it forward
thousands and thousands and thousands of I'm not comfortable doing it four times
thousands of times because if so that's how you're gonna be playing in handheld
mode is this game just completely alienating than handheld mark it all
together a great example of this is Super Mario Party
you cannot play it in hell that handheld mode whatsoever considering that you
have to have the joique on like this you can't even play with a pro controller I
don't know if you could play this with a pro controller you definitely can't play
with the ones that don't have that accelerometer in there like the the
wired ones but like obviously you can't have this and play Super Mario Party in
handheld mode well especially while holding this can't do it cannot be done
is let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee a game just like that is this game gonna
make it so there is no handheld mode whatsoever is it going to alienate the
half amount of people who like to play in handheld mode if so I think that's
pretty horrible like if you wanted to you could play Mario Kart a deluxe in
handheld mode with a second person looking over your shoulder at the screen
you can do that should you absolutely not but you can that's the important
part with let's go is that going to be impossible I think it is I think it is
unless you want to be flicking your $300 Nintendo switch every single time that
you're gonna be catching a pokémon's or trying to then then that's not a great
thing not a great thing I never realized that they just showed no media coverage
of it whatsoever Thank You Smurfs Jones for bringing that to light but yeah
let's go Pikachu let's go Eevee may have no and health functionality at all in
which case I don't know too bad that's their mom too bad too bad
let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee comes out next Friday that's going to be
November 16th for the Nintendo switch also the pokeball plus and everything
else is also going to be released on the same day I'm gonna be doing a lot of
coverage of it here on the channel if you haven't done so be sure to subscribe
turn on notifications if you already turned on notifications turn them back
on also the backdrop is done which I'm very excited for I'm probably gonna do a
a room tour of at some point that's all I gotta say about holding your cut your
switch with Poe commands and and put him pops til next time
