00:00Many people around the world watched the Nintendo Switch video we released in October of last year and reacted quite...

00:13The Nintendo Switch is unveiled in January 2017 at Big Sight Tokyo.

00:19Fourteen years earlier and 13 miles south, Ecuador is eliminated from the World Cup for the first time.

00:25Ecuador fans in force hoping that their first World Cup appearance would not end today. It would.

00:31Seven months before that and 8,925 miles away in Quito, Ecuador, they qualify to the World Cup for the first time.

00:39Take care of everybody!

00:42Julian Cordero grows up four miles southeast in a gated community in a place called Tumbaco.

00:48This is what he looks like when Ecuador qualifies.

00:52This is what he looks like in 2025.

00:59Three years after that World Cup in Copenhagen, Denmark,

01:02Gooball is released as shareware for macOS.

01:06It receives an 8.5 from insider macgames.com,

01:10a 9 for graphics and value,

01:12and an 8 for gameplay and sound.

01:15Despite being highly downloaded on macgamefiles.com, it is not a commercial success.

01:21The company, Over The Edge Entertainment, goes on to sell the engine they developed to make the game.

01:26Unity.

01:27It is now the most popular game engine in the world.

01:30Twenty years later, another ball game made in the Gooball engine is announced for the Nintendo Switch.

01:36Hi, I'm Kenny-san, and today I'm excited to share Ball Pit.

01:40Balls that bounce around the battlefield.

01:42He would never admit this publicly, but this footage was shot in Julian's mother's backyard in Tumbaco, Ecuador.

01:49Kenny releases it two months later, and it sells nearly a million copies in the first month.

01:54He does it all from his home in New York City, where he lives with me, Gabe Cazillo.

02:00Five years earlier, in July 2020, I agreed to help Julian finish his own ball game made in the Gooball engine.

02:07It's called Despolote, and it's about kicking the ball around with your friends during Ecuador's 2002 World Cup run that ended in Japan.

02:14I tell him, we will finish it in one year.

02:17I tell him, we will finish it in one year.

02:30láxing words for $5 to $65 to $容!

02:361 or $ rating.

02:381 or $ lock to $10 of the hill, 6 o$!

02:401 o$.

02:442 o$ $jack!

02:477 o$!

02:522 o$!

02:57Five years later, in May of this year, we finally release Despolote.

03:10It comes out on Steam, the Mac App Store, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 4 and 5,

03:16and not the Nintendo Switch.

03:19Much like Gooball, people react quite positively to it.

03:23But it is not a commercial success.

03:31We announced the Switch version in December 2024, but quickly find we can't get it running above 15 frames a second.

03:39Unity just was not built for this.

03:42It was built for Gooball.

03:43Ecuador's World Cup performance in the years since 2002 has been middling at best,

03:48only getting past the group stage once in 2006.

03:52In June of this year, the team qualified again.

03:56As they look forward to the next World Cup, they must forget about this graphic,

04:01about all of the disappointments of the past,

04:03about the prediction markets that have them at less than a 1% chance of making it to the finals.

04:09We have to imagine that releasing this game that we have worked on for seven years,

04:12on what is at this point a dead console,

04:14will realize our dreams of it surpassing Gooball and becoming a commercial success.

04:19like Ball X Pit.

04:25Today, we're happy to announce we have gotten Despolote running smoothly on the Nintendo Switch.

04:31It also works great on the brand new Nintendo Switch 2.

04:34It will be coming to the Nintendo eShop in the Americas on December 11th,

04:37and in Japan on December 18th,

04:39and everywhere else on January 13th.

04:42Except in Ecuador.

04:43Because there is no eShop there.

04:45It will be coming to a вашer.

04:53I'm curious.
