*NEW GAMES KLAXON* Luke and Andy jaunt through the most interesting-looking titles with a July release date. Expect kid/squid dilemmas, while Andy proves unable to defend his 3DS. Have you spotted any other neat games out next month? Shout if you have, and enjoy!
I am sooo excited for Splatoon 2. With the influx of usually non-Nintendo gamers onto the Switch I am sure to finally get S-rank. There is no-way they are as hard to go toe-to-toe with as the dedicated Nintendo fandom. ... Right? (Well the bright-side is, even after Rocket-League comes out I can still assume PS4's online players are largely unskilled by comparison to me... just as long as no-one ever gifts me a trial of its online.)
No, Ellen was clearly audible behind the camera... which could only mean that the melting split off another Ellen, which is clearly part Jane's secret Les Ellens Terribles experiment, thus creating... Liquid Ellen! Her blonde haired American accented twin with her recessive genes!
I agree. I like Luke and Ellen, and their love and knowledge of games is obvious. But put them together and there's just too much "SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!". I keep subscribing and then unsubscribing again when the ear piercing shreaking gets too much. :/
"This is basically Outside Xtra the game, because it's just a big colorful island that, as far as I can tell, is just filled with cartoon animals" (*Ellen muffled in background*) "yaaay yaaay yaaaaaaay"
Joxua Kima. Thank you! I was worried I was the only one getting grumpy about that. The Wolf among Us and Tales from the Borderlands were my favourite Telltale titles, and yet feel like they are the furthest from ever getting a sequel (or are, if No One That Matters' comment is to be believed :( ) . That's a good thing for our wallets, I guess? But not much else.
You're certainly not the only ones. Telltales actually has such a tasteless recipe for video games, their products should have no QTEs and be sold as animated movies, but TWAU really got my attention.Heck, I went IMMEDIATELY after finishing the game and read all of the 150 numbers of Fables! Btw, after 80 or so, the story gets kinda' dull in the comics...and Bluebeard is almost non-existant :/
Joxua Kima yeah, that's true. Honestly I have no problem with Minecraft: Story Mode as it is a story with Minecraft elements in it. Telltale took an original concept, and made an original concept out of it. And the story isn't bad.
I like how you could hear Ellen in the background as Luke described her reaction to Yonder, especially since she seemed to be reacting the same way as she had earlier.
*Luke:* I'm still playing on the *original* 3ds, which now feels like holding a 20p piece in my hand....' *Me:* Oh please, Luke! I'm still playing on my 11 1/2 year old ds *lite!* amateur.
I love how Ellen isn't in the video but she can't help but laugh aloud letting us know she's still there lol. This is why I love Ellen her laugh always gets me!
LaterKater I feel you so much!I just finished Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice.I specifically bought a 3DS for these two, but then I heard the new spin-off "The Great Ace Attorney" will probably never get a localization, so all I can do is hope the fan team who translated Miles Edgeworth Investigation 2 will finish it someday (they are actually working on it right now) T_T
I really hope you include The Long Dark in next months episode. I think it's an amazing game that definitely deserves more recognition than it already has.
Me: Beater? What's a beater? Is this a new sort of demo? Is it really punishing? How's it different from a regular demo? Why do we care about a demo dropping in July? *time passes* Me: OH. BETA.
This video just made me realize why oxbox decided to partition off oxtra as its own channel rather than just adding the oxtra's to their main cast. I mean, the token explanation is that "oxtra" implies the ability to cover topics beyond the xbox as implied by "oxbox", but I mean...that's never really been a hard and fast rule to begin with. I suspect the real reason is because oxtra's targeted at a slightly younger/different demographic, and that's slightly evidenced by the fact that the humour and tone of oxtra tends to be a bit lighter and well...giggly, than oxbox's, which tends to be dominated by a cacophony of anguished screams and the maniacal cackling of Jane's unfettered laughter. Not a bad shift per se, but it would definitely explain the differences in the feelings I get from each channel's content, even after accounting for the different personalities of the key presenters.
Oxtra kind of has a more direct type of comedy, wich everybody can understand. It's also fricking adoreble. Oxbox is more into cynical sarcasm and things that require you to think about more. I love both shows equally, and it all feels like one big nerdy family, with some variation to it.
hey! while you're playing you're switch, just remember that you can't play ocarina of time or majora's mask 3d on it! you can thank the 3ds for those games.
CCtheNarwhal Brooks i just recently bought those for my 3DS (cause i diddnt have a childhood apprently) and they are freaking amazing! so good that i bought a GameCube so i could play Twilight Princess
CCtheNarwhal Brooks So what, just stop making games for the consoles you don't own/like and fuck the rest of the world. If majora's or ocarina went to switch they should be completly remade to make the aestheticly pleasing instead of the models in the original, so be careful of what you ask.
I wish splatoon 2 came out in June, because most children's summer ends near the end of July/ mid August. You'll have to wait all summer to get such a fan fav.
wait, minecraft story mode is having a season two? and it's releasinng iin july? how did i not know this? and you get your hand stuck in a gauntlet? cool.
Lol, when you showed the trailer for the farming game, I was expecting to have a voiceover of Ellen "melting." That would have improved the trailer considerably.
2 huge reasons to still use a 3ds: 1.Pokémon 2.Fire Emblem Neither of these franchises have games for the switch yet. Though Fire Emblem Warriors should be comming out for the switch sometime next year, and the Diamond and Pearl remakes are going to be for the switch and 3ds as well (probably).
I saved up so long for a WiiU, man. I tried to convince my parents over many years and got it after showing I could complete a year of college, and then suddenly they announced the Switch. Time for another 5 years of saving and convincing 😞
To be fair, the LN is much better written than others in the same genre, and even if the anime has some mishaps, is still a very good piece of fandom for anime lovers and casual gamers.
Actually, there's a reason for *me* to have a 2DS, two years after this video came out: It's less than a quarter the cost of a Switch, and I can play Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and potentially some other things on it! (Assuming they're not removed from shelves by the time I get to buy them... though they might just be moved to the bargain shelves instead, which would be nice...)
I don't think so; common theory is that it was just a few faulty consoles. I mean how often do you hear people posting super-successful videos about how their console works perfectly. Gaming media is click-bait central if the relative lack of posts about it on /r/NintendoSwitch is anything to go by. To my knowledge the only truly common issue was the weak-signaled left joycon that effected some people who sat too far back from their TV (mostly an American problem since their houses are randomly bigger than say Irish, UK, or Japanese ones) but that issue seems to have been completely fixed by hardware updates and tweaked internals to current joycons... That said you can buy a third-party dock if you're nervous.
Assuming I am remembering the timeline correctly Splatoon, Breath of the Wild, and 3D World are the ones that stand out to me. (3D World is one of my all-time faves now.) Does Wind-Waker HD count? (Wind-Waker is another of my all time top three, alongside the original World.) 3D World and Link Between Worlds launched at the same-time didn't they? Good time to be a gamer.
Supergiant did a great job with bastion and transistor! Why diss the 3ds tho D: I love my MH4U and cross. I mean Ace Attorney. what about FF 12 or Fable Fortune? And the ever anticipated RPG Miitopia?
Right, so we're not getting a Yonder play through, then? I mean, we won't exactly be able to hear anything over Ellen's squeals of joy, and nothing would be done because you'd just be following the animals around too, so…
Ah yes, here we are again at July and August or as I like to call them "the two months I sit down to play all of the games I didn't time for before because the Summer time is always crap for game releases"...long title, I know. I'm working on it.
I really hope Elder Scrolls 6 takes place in Black Marsh. But Random Guy, be wary, because in about 3 hours you will be barraged with insults by people who hate just for the sake of making you feel bad.
*NEW GAMES KLAXON* Luke and Andy jaunt through the most interesting-looking titles with a July release date. Expect kid/squid dilemmas, while Andy proves unable to defend his 3DS. Have you spotted any other neat games out next month? Shout if you have, and enjoy!
Hi guys! Since you spoke about super meat boy, what are other good indie games you enjoy? I love bastion by supergiant. I must check out pyre! Thanks
well, some of us don't have a switch, and can't get a wii u too play breath of the wild because our TVs already have consoles hooked up to them.
I am sooo excited for Splatoon 2. With the influx of usually non-Nintendo gamers onto the Switch I am sure to finally get S-rank. There is no-way they are as hard to go toe-to-toe with as the dedicated Nintendo fandom.
... Right?
(Well the bright-side is, even after Rocket-League comes out I can still assume PS4's online players are largely unskilled by comparison to me... just as long as no-one ever gifts me a trial of its online.)
My wallet remains safe for another month, though I'll probably pre-order AC: Pyramids in that time so ...
Outside Xtra splatoon is awesome game ever 😜😝😝😋
Define "unfailable". Heavy Rain was technically "unfailable" yet some of the endings were so bad that it was effectively identical to a game over.
The whole game's plot was so bad that it was a game over no matter what ending you got.
Hon hon hon!
Mikel Kjell I generally hate the QTE-based games, but Heavy Rain is MILES ahead of any shit Telltale did, buddy...
So is reason Andy is on the couch because Jane and Mike resolidifying a melted Ellen?
No, Ellen was clearly audible behind the camera... which could only mean that the melting split off another Ellen, which is clearly part Jane's secret Les Ellens Terribles experiment, thus creating... Liquid Ellen! Her blonde haired American accented twin with her recessive genes!
I agree. I like Luke and Ellen, and their love and knowledge of games is obvious. But put them together and there's just too much "SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!". I keep subscribing and then unsubscribing again when the ear piercing shreaking gets too much. :/
They missed a trick not calling it Spla2n
Adrian Moore hire this man right now
Adrian Moore yeah but the grandmas would get confused and would buy their grandkids the wrong presents.
+Mirko Antonini what about splatwoon
+No One That Matters he isnt the only one to say this, it is actually overused now
R-Bo but then people are gonna pronounce it splat-woon, which i don't know if it'd be bad but yeah, i don't know what to say so i'm rambling.
"This is basically Outside Xtra the game, because it's just a big colorful island that, as far as I can tell, is just filled with cartoon animals"
(*Ellen muffled in background*) "yaaay yaaay yaaaaaaay"
We live in a world where Minecraft story mode has a season 2, and The Wolf Among Us doesn't. Huh
Joxua Kima sadly they lost the rights :( sat on their hands and abused the Walking Dead license for too long and let poor Bigby go
No One That Matters what a shame. It was my fav telltale game, and now the story is never gonna be finished
Joxua Kima. Thank you! I was worried I was the only one getting grumpy about that. The Wolf among Us and Tales from the Borderlands were my favourite Telltale titles, and yet feel like they are the furthest from ever getting a sequel (or are, if No One That Matters' comment is to be believed :( ) .
That's a good thing for our wallets, I guess? But not much else.

I like how you could hear Ellen in the background as Luke described her reaction to Yonder, especially since she seemed to be reacting the same way as she had earlier.
Oxtra starts up Yonder
"Right now where's the nearest horned animal"
And here's me with my DS Lite. I feel inadequate.
could be worse. i still have my psp ;-;
i still have my DS lite, sometimes i play it on road trips.
Syed Shah I'd like a PSP, I could play Danganronpa whenever I'd want. Wasn't the earlier versions of Persona available on PSP too?
2013Fangirl Yeah I think so..
Mod your PSP. They're decent machines.
Luke don't melt Ellen then we have roughly 100% less solid Ellen :(
You know your early when all the comments are numbers
I really like the looks of Yonder!
*Luke:* I'm still playing on the *original* 3ds, which now feels like holding a 20p piece in my hand....'
*Me:* Oh please, Luke! I'm still playing on my 11 1/2 year old ds *lite!* amateur.
Cherry Bomb Studios I have one two, but only for, like, 5
I love how Ellen isn't in the video but she can't help but laugh aloud letting us know she's still there lol. This is why I love Ellen her laugh always gets me!
I suddenly got really excited when Andy asked if there was a new Phoenix Wright game coming out in July. Now I'm just sad. 😞
LaterKater I feel you so much!I just finished Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice.I specifically bought a 3DS for these two, but then I heard the new spin-off "The Great Ace Attorney" will probably never get a localization, so all I can do is hope the fan team who translated Miles Edgeworth Investigation 2 will finish it someday (they are actually working on it right now) T_T
"The 3DS is my Phoenix Wright machine" Aw man I knew there was a reason I liked you Andy. Ace Attorney is the best!
So...Yes July is keeping up the tradition then.
I really hope you include The Long Dark in next months episode.
I think it's an amazing game that definitely deserves more recognition than it already has.
Me: Beater? What's a beater? Is this a new sort of demo? Is it really punishing? How's it different from a regular demo? Why do we care about a demo dropping in July?
*time passes*
Me: OH. BETA.
#Murica
Yea I kept hearing Beet-ta I was like...a beet-tuh...whats this got to do with beets... Oh.. he means beta..aka bait-tuh....Oh those silly UK people.
Outside Xtra the game who things that is a great idea?
I am imaging a RPG where you play as a new member of the team.
Thomas Geltzer And Andy, Mike, Jane, Luke and Ellen are all bosses!
hannes jacobsson good idea:) but how do you fight them?
You have to defeat them at one of the games they specialise in. you have to beat Mike in a car race, out-stealth Andy, etc
Tommy Padfield alright I think that will work. Good idea:)
My July game pick is Miitopia.
I really loved the demo, and am really excited to be able to start the full game in 1.5 weeks from now.
lmao @ Ellen's guilty adorable off screen giggle
Hey! Pikmin looks a lot like LocoRoco for the PSP... when it was a thing... like 11 freaking years ago. Glad that the 3DS finally catches up!
This video just made me realize why oxbox decided to partition off oxtra as its own channel rather than just adding the oxtra's to their main cast. I mean, the token explanation is that "oxtra" implies the ability to cover topics beyond the xbox as implied by "oxbox", but I mean...that's never really been a hard and fast rule to begin with. I suspect the real reason is because oxtra's targeted at a slightly younger/different demographic, and that's slightly evidenced by the fact that the humour and tone of oxtra tends to be a bit lighter and well...giggly, than oxbox's, which tends to be dominated by a cacophony of anguished screams and the maniacal cackling of Jane's unfettered laughter.
Not a bad shift per se, but it would definitely explain the differences in the feelings I get from each channel's content, even after accounting for the different personalities of the key presenters.
Not sure its 'younger' but its definitely more adorable. More in-line with Nintendo and Sony's Japanese wackyness.
Oxtra kind of has a more direct type of comedy, wich everybody can understand. It's also fricking adoreble.
Oxbox is more into cynical sarcasm and things that require you to think about more.
I love both shows equally, and it all feels like one big nerdy family, with some variation to it.
Oh man. I've been waiting for Pyre since they announced it nearly 2 years ago. Hope the soundtrack lives up to its predecessors.
hey! while you're playing you're switch, just remember that you can't play ocarina of time or majora's mask 3d on it! you can thank the 3ds for those games.
CCtheNarwhal Brooks i just recently bought those for my 3DS (cause i diddnt have a childhood apprently) and they are freaking amazing! so good that i bought a GameCube so i could play Twilight Princess
CCtheNarwhal Brooks are we supposed to feel bad
You should get Wind-Waker too! Its my favourite!
CCtheNarwhal Brooks So what, just stop making games for the consoles you don't own/like and fuck the rest of the world. If majora's or ocarina went to switch they should be completly remade to make the aestheticly pleasing instead of the models in the original, so be careful of what you ask.
Or Link Between Worlds - one of the best Zelda titles.
I wish splatoon 2 came out in June, because most children's summer ends near the end of July/ mid August. You'll have to wait all summer to get such a fan fav.
I love how Andy genuinely loves giving Luke a hard time. Even though they are probably BFF.
Just no one tell Ellen...
God, it's been years since I've played Speedball 2 on the Amiga.
"July is traditionally a quiet time"
July is traditionally my birthday month
In the 3ds defense, the switch isn't the most mobile of handheld platforms out there, it isn't exactly pocket size.
wait, minecraft story mode is having a season two? and it's releasinng iin july? how did i not know this? and you get your hand stuck in a gauntlet? cool.
CCtheNarwhal Brooks I just felt liked I got fucked in the ass really hard when they released adventure pack
Lol, when you showed the trailer for the farming game, I was expecting to have a voiceover of Ellen "melting." That would have improved the trailer considerably.
1:40, "The Wolf Amung-us." - Andy, 2017
2 huge reasons to still use a 3ds:
1.Pokémon
2.Fire Emblem
Neither of these franchises have games for the switch yet. Though Fire Emblem Warriors should be comming out for the switch sometime next year, and the Diamond and Pearl remakes are going to be for the switch and 3ds as well (probably).
Luke face at 0:56 summarized my feelings having a Wii U hearing others bash a perfectly good device.
Andreu Martínez Villarroya Agreed, the Wii U was a great console.
Lol, I like how Andy mentioned the good TelTale games but didn't mention the bad ones.
I played some splatoon 2 at my friend's house yesterday and now I really wish it was available on PC :/.
Ouxtra and outbox should play Friday the 13th or dead by daylight together. Imagine Andy and Ellen screaming together in harmony
I saved up so long for a WiiU, man. I tried to convince my parents over many years and got it after showing I could complete a year of college, and then suddenly they announced the Switch. Time for another 5 years of saving and convincing 😞
If SAO teaches something it to always get the Beta in MMOs, just in case you are sucked into the virtual world for some reason.
zadel88 SAO also teaches how not to write a story.
To be fair, the LN is much better written than others in the same genre, and even if the anime has some mishaps, is still a very good piece of fandom for anime lovers and casual gamers.
Ship time! Lundy? Anduke? I can't tell which one sounds better.
Andy, I'm loving the black on black there
That Dead Space Shirt....i like!!!!
My B-day is on the 21st so I'm prepared for all these new games :))
Actually, there's a reason for *me* to have a 2DS, two years after this video came out: It's less than a quarter the cost of a Switch, and I can play Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and potentially some other things on it! (Assuming they're not removed from shelves by the time I get to buy them... though they might just be moved to the bargain shelves instead, which would be nice...)
also glad there is a beta coming out for Destiny i can now see why my coworker loves the game so much
Hmmm...... What should I get splatoon 2 or Friday the 13th
FFXII is also coming out in July as a remake. You guys don't seem to like Final Fantasy very much...
does anyone think there will be a new model for the Nintendo Switch considering how many problems this model has?
I don't think so; common theory is that it was just a few faulty consoles. I mean how often do you hear people posting super-successful videos about how their console works perfectly. Gaming media is click-bait central if the relative lack of posts about it on /r/NintendoSwitch is anything to go by.
To my knowledge the only truly common issue was the weak-signaled left joycon that effected some people who sat too far back from their TV (mostly an American problem since their houses are randomly bigger than say Irish, UK, or Japanese ones) but that issue seems to have been completely fixed by hardware updates and tweaked internals to current joycons...
That said you can buy a third-party dock if you're nervous.
Yonder and Pikmin both look worth a check but honestly my backlog is so bad I'll probably skip them.
I still have the original DS, never got any kind of upgrade, I know exactly what you mean Luke
So ongoing series of Ellen playing Yonder coming soon?
There's maybe a handful of games since the Wii that Nintendo has released that is of the quality of a Link Between Worlds.
Assuming I am remembering the timeline correctly Splatoon, Breath of the Wild, and 3D World are the ones that stand out to me. (3D World is one of my all-time faves now.)
Does Wind-Waker HD count? (Wind-Waker is another of my all time top three, alongside the original World.)
3D World and Link Between Worlds launched at the same-time didn't they? Good time to be a gamer.
Will Splatoon 2 ever be released on PC tho I'd really like that
Phoenix Sprite machines. Get me a movie on that now.
I still have the original gameboy and the 2DS I've never owned your new 3DS fancy stuff.
July is the month to catch up on games you haven't done yet. Huh what? "Going outside"? Is that a game? When is it released?
You forgot Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls! The best bit about the game is that it's already out! >.
Splatoon won shooter of the year the year it came out - can it do it again?
How about an Andy plays Phoenix Wright series, any objections?
I'm waiting for Thimbleweed Park to come out on PS4!
lmao at luke thinking playing on the original 3ds is bad when im still here on my baby pink ds lite
My most modern nintendo console is the DS. Not a fancy light or 3D version, just the original thing.
I'm what they call a pro gamer
What is the music used in this video
Unfailable? The word is infallible, Luke.
Honestly, my biggest one is Final Fantasy 12.
Oh ya, Splatoon 2 comes out this month!
Now if only I could find a switch to buy so I could actually play it and ARMS....
Where is the outtake of where Andy tries the dunk he talked about in pyre, then fails and breaks most of his body
i wanna see Oxbox n Oxtra team Versus game of splatoon
Supergiant did a great job with bastion and transistor! Why diss the 3ds tho D: I love my MH4U and cross. I mean Ace Attorney. what about FF 12 or Fable Fortune? And the ever anticipated RPG Miitopia?
Hey I'll have you know the 3DS also makes a rather fine Fire Emblem machine.
I can NOT believe they missed the opportunity to call it "Splatwo"
I do own a WiiU, tU. Xenoblade Chronicles X was great.
...well, that was an expensive game!
Yep. No games coming out in July.
I love how we are getting minecraft story mode instead of wolf among us or borderlands
You should do top vr games, I have trouble finding good ones...
Why can't Luke say Beta properly?
Right, so we're not getting a Yonder play through, then? I mean, we won't exactly be able to hear anything over Ellen's squeals of joy, and nothing would be done because you'd just be following the animals around too, so…
YOU FORGOT ABOUT FINAL FANTASY 12!!!!!
Not technically a "new" game, since it's a remaster. But still far more interesting than any of the games they showed.
I was scared when Luke and Andy's fingers got eaten by the studio light at the end :(
what do you mean there is no reason to have the 3ds!!! Pokémon ultra sun and moon are only coming to the DS.
How long must we wait for the return of Gumshoe?
Ah yes, here we are again at July and August or as I like to call them "the two months I sit down to play all of the games I didn't time for before because the Summer time is always crap for game releases"...long title, I know. I'm working on it.
So excited for Splatoon 2
Same.
So Tom Cruise remakes the Mummy film and I'm guessing that Telltale Minecraft is attempting to recreate the Mummy Returns ?!?!
I cant wait for the Elder Scrolls 6: Black Marsh (cause Argonians are the best!) its coming guys i swear...
I really hope Elder Scrolls 6 takes place in Black Marsh. But Random Guy, be wary, because in about 3 hours you will be barraged with insults by people who hate just for the sake of making you feel bad.
well that's even if they notice my comment and even so the internet is for trolls.... wait or was it porn? its either trolls or porn.
Bit of both, really
Troll porn, mostly.
Random Guy Oh, you must be confusing it with Skyrim: Ultra Special We-Swear-This-Game-Isn't-A-Cash-In Edition
I can't afford to a game this month but I did just buy crash bandicoot n sane trilogy and I'm really enjoying it.
"Happy game purchasing?" Haha, what? :)
uh andy u forgot that telltale also made batman telltale which is a personal favourite
I got in trouble and got my video games takes away so I can't play ANY of these
aw man no games are coming out on my birthday July 8
"It's Basically Outside Xtra the Videogame. With Colorful animals"
I should guess Luke is a Giraffe, while Ellen is a.... Rainbow-furred rabbits?
Edmund McMillan is making a new game?
*HOW ABOUT FIXING FUCKING DELIRIUM?!*
That moment when there's nothing good coming out so you put in Minecraft
No Fortnight!!! This is crazy, I TRUSTED YOU GUYS
"Telltale games are pretty reliably solid" *Looks at The Walking Dead: A New Frontier*
I might have to try out this "Ellen melting method." Purely for scientific reasons of course.
I love you guys, but I'm sorry, I'm not bringing my several hundred dollar Nintendo Switch on the rail with me everyday XD
My birthday is in July, and quiet is the last thing it is round my house, partayyyyy
