[Krysta] -There is a 
curry making, portion
[Kit] -Right!
-of Pokémon Sword
and Pokémon Shield.
[cheery synth music]
This is the first time I've ever
made it. We'll see how it goes.
-Sounds good to me.
This is some secrets coming out!
[laughing]
I love it.
-Now it's curry time.
-Ta-da!
-Wow!
-Okay here we go.
-One, two, three.
[Nintendo Minute jingle]
[Krysta] -Hi guys, welcome back
to Nintendo Minute.
[light adventure music]
We are in a very
unique location today.
[Kit]
-This is, completely
different, [laughs] yes.
-With some very special guests. 
-So special, yes, welcome.
Welcome Mr. Masuda and 
Mr. Ohmori who are of course,
the developers of
Pokémon Sword
and Pokémon Shield--
-From Game Freaks.
-Thank you for joining us!
-Thank you so much
for being here in this 
strange place with us.
[laughing]
So we are actually here
because there is a curry making,
portion of 
Pokémon Sword 
and Pokémon Shield.
I mean, which is amazing by the
way. So, we're going to make
some curry today. Ready?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We all love curry, yes.
[laughing]
-Let's do it. All right,
so we have some very, uh,
typical curry ingredients here.
We're also--
[Kit] -We're going to be
making your recipe.
-My recipe.
-Right!
-Don't tell everyone that.
-Why not?
-Now I'm like nervous.
-Your personal recipe.
-But the, the other thing 
I wanted to say that,
the game has lots of
different kinds of curries.
[Kit]- Oh my gosh, so many.
-you can make. And one that
really just kind of, jumped out
at me was spicy sausage curry.
-Oooo.
[laughing]
[cheery synths music]
I've never heard
of spicy sausage curry before.
What was the inspiration behind
spicy sausage curry?
[translator] 
-Well we really wanted
a lot of variety.
for the different curry recipes
in the game and,
amongst those I thought,
you know, a spicy sausage curry
would be uh, a good one to have.
-This is the first time
I've ever made it.
We'll see how it goes.
-Sounds good to me.
-So first step in curry making,
from scratch--
-Right.
-Is you have to make the roux.
-Yeah, so what all do we 
have here, what are these
ingredients? 
So, for roux, you need butter,
a lot of butter always good 
but you can't go wrong.
And then you need some spices,
so I have some garam masala,
which is like a mixed spice 
and it smells really good.
It smells so good. Right?
-Mm-hmm.
-And then, 
Japanese curry powder.
-Shared smelling
experience here.
-Shared smell test.
Yes, exactly.
Um, and then we also have 
some other sauces that we'll
be putting into the,
the actual curry 
once we finish the roux.
So while I'm, while Mr. Masuda
and I are doing this,
don't just stand around maybe
cut some vegetables!
[Kit]
-I thought you were
in charge of this.
All right so we need to cut some
vegetables, we've got carrots,
[funky upbeat music]
an onion and three--
-Three cloves.
-Not four, not two,
cloves of garlic.
-Three cloves of garlic.
So we'll go ahead and start
chopping these for you. 
-This butter is
really melting here.
So, what other features
in Pokémon Sword
and Pokémon Shield,
besides the amazing 
curry making that, you know,
that you're most excited
about Mr. Masuda?
[translator]
-So actually with the curry uh,
creation feature,
the being able to create curry,
you can only do it when 
you're out camping in the game.
So, it was actually kind of
inspired by the typical
Japanese camping experience
where everyone will go out
camping and one of the things
people typically do
is make curry while
you're camping. So...
[Krysta]
-So the roux is going,
it smells really good.
-Yeah. Oh that looks great.
-Then you have to add the,
when you finish putting 
the spices into the butter,
you kind of add this flour
in here and it just 
thickens it up.
-Now you can make the curry
in the game with other players,
and other Pokémon can help out.
What do you think are some
Pokémon who would be especially
useful in making curry?
[translator] -Maybe Scorbunny 
since it can kind of, you know,
[lighthearted orchestral music]
use the fire 
and power of the flame--
[Kit and Krysta]
-Oh yeah!
-Making sure it kind of uh,
holds back a little bit or it
might burn the-the curry, so... 
-Yeah, that's what I'm doing
right now I'm like, making sure
the butter doesn't burn.
[laughs]
So our roux is done. 
[translator] -Smells good.
-Wow. Look at that.
-I'm gonna scoot it over
so I don't burn you.
-That looks great.
-Yes the roux is done,
let's put it back
into a bowl here.
I feel like this is ready to go.
-Look at this.
-Mr. Masuda are you ready 
to sauté some onions?
-All right everything 
that we've got here...
-A little oil here in the pan.
And then
I'll trade spots with Kit.
-I'll just get that in for you.
-The carrots look beautiful.
[Mr. Ohmori] -Oh yeah,
thank you.
[laughter]
-So what else in the game do you
want players to discover besides
the sort of the camping element?
[translator]
-I think one of the
coolest things you'll see,
and of course where you camp
is inside of this really
wide open, wild area,
where you can play
with other players
and I think it's gonna be
a lot of fun exploring
that area as a player.
You of course, you can use
the communication features
to play with others
and not just the camping 
but also getting together and
maybe challenging one of the,
max raid battles 
with your friends
[merry bells music]
and also in the wild area
it's just fun to explore
and find all the different types
of Pokémon in there.
And even without internet
connection like for example,
if we're here with,
all four of us we could use 
the local wireless
to connect, trade,
and battle with each other
in the wild area.
[Krysta]
-That's a really nice thing to
do while you're eating the curry
is play in the wild area
with your friends.
[laughter]
[translator]
-You can go outside
with your friends,
eat curry together 
and also play the game together.
-So now we have
the onions going,
we put the roux back
in with the onions, and now
it's like, really good.
-I think we need to
call attention to Mr. Ohmori's,
criss-cross cut carrots.
[Krysta] -That's what I said.
It's very very amazing.
Artisanal carrot cutting,
not like your manhandling
of this potato, look at-what is-
[Kit] -This knife is...
-Don't blame the knife!
-You-you know I like
to use my own personal knife
that I got in Japan,
with my name engraved on it.
-Engraved, engraved knife?
-Yeah.
[laughter]
[jokingly]
-He's very uh,
prissy with the knives.
And then we're also gonna
put in some other,
other sauces here.
This is a mixture
of soy sauce, honey,
and apple cider vinegar.
Japanese curries sometimes 
have like a fruity flavor to it.
So, that's what this is.
-Wow.
-Put that right in there.
-Sizzling.
Also we have just
a little bit of apple juice.
-Apple juice. Yeah.
-So our potatoes
and our carrots are ready.
-Wow.
-You say they're crudely 
chopped I said this is rustic,
we're making it outside. Yeah.
-Very rustic.
-This is very much
a camping, wild area.
-It's extremely rustic, right.
[laughter]
[translator]
-Sounds like fun.
[Krysta]
-All right, we're gonna also
just add a little bit of water
to just thin out the sauce
a little bit, and you can
also do chicken broth.
Yeah, it's looking 
very nice, smells good.
Can Mr. Masuda,
come home with me
and just help me 
make curry everyday? 
[laughter]
-I did really like in the curry
descriptions in the game,
[upbeat funky music]
there's very detailed
and very like, well thought out,
like they said one
is very amateurish,
but it's very delicious.
-Yeah, it's true.
[Kit laughing]
-Who-who is the person who had
all these curry opinions?
-Little descriptions, yeah.
These descriptions.
[laughter] 
[translator]
-There's a character you'll
encounter in the game who's,
very knowledgeable
about curry
and we believe that
it's probably him who wrote
all those descriptions.
-I see.
-Ah. Is that based
on somebody you know or,
just uh,
an imaginary character?
[translator]
-I'm not sure if I can ah,
say this but, one hint is that,
the character's face looks 
kind of like Ken Sugimori, so...
[Kit and Krysta]
-Oh!
[laughter]
This is some secrets coming out,
I love it.
All right, so this
is all stirred together,
we can actually just
put the top right on this
and just let it simmer.
[Kit]
-Blip away, as they say.
[lighthearted orchestral music]
-Yeah, so I'll take that 
and then we'll just 
literally pop this on
and while we let this simmer,
we can cook this.
We got a pan.
-Here you go.
-We've got some oil, we got some
sausage, some spicy sausage. 
-You got no heat,
you got no heat.
-I need heat.
Do you know how to
open this package?
-Yeah, see.
-I brought you scissors,
just...oh.
So this is one of 
the recipes in the Curry Dex. 
-Right. There's four sausages.
[Krysta] -And four of us! 
-And four of us.
-Mm-mm-mm. 
-All right.
-Now that's going,
this is going,
this is the best part
about curry you could
just like leave it,
and then chat with your friends.
-Yeah. Don't leave 
the sausage though.
-Don't leave the sausage.
[translator]
-Just a taste, just a taste.
-Just a taste yes.
[laughter]
So another really cool thing in
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield
is the Dynamax Pokémon.
-Yes. 
-Which we saw for the first time
at E3 a few months ago
and ever since then I've been
like fascinated by them.
So what kind of inspired
that in the game?
[merry bells music]
[translator]
-I think one of the biggest
reasons that this is the first
all new generation
of Pokémon games
on a video game console
with a much higher resolution
screen both on the Switch
and on the televisions 
people are gonna connect to,
so we really have
the ability now to be able
to show the size difference
between small and big Pokémon.
And the idea for the feature
came from wanting to have these
really cool looking,
impressive battles.
So making them really huge
was one way to uh, do that.
And it's really thanks that,
being on Nintendo Switch
with the much you know,
much more powerful hardware
that allows us
to do these visuals.
-Was there a
Pokémon that you saw
for the first time in HD
On Nintendo Switch
and you just said,
"Yes! I love the look of that?"?
I'm wearing a Machop shirt 
so obviously,
[lighthearted music]
the whole Machop
and all the evolutions
were very exciting for me.
[laughter]
-Now he's just looking at you.
-You could tell
by my muscles, clearly. 
[sarcastic] -Oh right.
[laughter]
[translator]
-Probably Tyranitar for me, it
really-those kind of more, like,
monster-like Pokémon,
they look really impressive
on the visuals.
[translator]
-And Charizard for me.
[Krysta]
-Aw, Charizard,
classic choice, yes.
Do you, have you picked out
your partner Pokémon
for Pokémon Sword and
Pokémon Shield yet?
This will determine the future
of our friendship by the way. 
[translator]
-Probably Scorbunny.
-Yeah! 
[laughter]
I knew I liked you.
[translator]
-Grookey for me, I think.
-Aw!
Aw, Sobble squad.
[Kit] -I'm on the Sobble squad.
Well we've got 
good representation here.
-That's true,
all three representing.
Clearly the winners,
clearly the winners.
But you know, you know.
This is looking pretty good.
[Kit]
-Yeah.
-All right, 
everything is cooked. 
-Yes.
We are very hungry. Yay!
-Look at these sausages.
[upbeat funky music]
-Kit, you're going to do
the honor of plating.
-The whole thing?
-So you have to make it look
exactly like the game. So don't-
-This is nerve-racking.
-Don't mess it up.
-All right, so on one side,
we have rice, on another side
we have the curry.
-The curry.
-And then placed,
 the opposite way-
-The opposite way.
-The sausages.
[laughs]
All right we've got that.
-Ready for the curry?
[cheery flutes music]
-Now the curry, 
now it's curry time.
-Ta-da!
-Wow!
I think it's cooked pretty good,
alright curry, oh.
Smells very nice. Yes.
-We could have some 
leftovers here.
-I think so.
-Highest--
-Plating is very--
-class. Look at this.
-Mm-hmm!
-And then, and then.
-Now, the sausages. 
One,
two,
three,
[Krysta] -Ah that's a lot.
[Kit] -Gotta make room.
[laughter]
and four!
-Yay!
-Wow!
Look at that!
-This is a 
beautiful plate! Okay.
[clapping and laughter]
[translator]
-It looks delicious.
[Krysta] -Do you think it
looks like the game? Yeah?
Does it pass your approval?
[translator]
-Big pass.
-Okay. It's the, the final,
Mr. Masuda is so excited.
We're all so excited.
[Mr. Masuda] -Hungry hungry.
-Hungry hungry, yes.
[merry bells music]
-Excited and hungry, yes.
-Okay here we go,
should we dig in?
-Yes!
-Okay everybody grab a bite.
I feel like 
this is gonna be my death, oh!
[Kit] -There we are. Okay.
-Okay ready?
-Here we go.
-Okay here we go.
-One, two, three.
[Everyone]
-Mm-hmm!
-It's really good, how's the
spicy sausage, is it spicy?
Is it really spicy?
-I'm waiting for that 
to kick in.
Would this uh, would this pass
in the Galar region?
[translator]
-Perfect.
-Now I'm feeling the spice.
[laughter]
[cheery funky music]
[Krysta] 
-Alright well, we are gonna-
this is really spicy,
we're gonna eat curry,
and we're gonna 
wrap it up for today.
-Yes.
-Thank you so much to
Mr. Masuda and Mr. Ohmori 
for being here with us
and cooking a beautiful curry.
-Amazing.
-And telling us all about
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield
which comes out on
Nintendo Switch on November 15th
-That's right.
Very excited about that.
So, we hope you guys enjoyed
this video and remember-
-Nintendo Minute
is never a minute.
-See you next week. Bye!
-Bye bye.
