We get to see the full video showcasing how our hero Sam Bridges receives the hood from the prepper “The Wandering MC” played by Conan O’Brien, and we also get a look at what the hood does.

Not only it looks hilarious, but its effect is funny as well.

Conan O'Brien appears as a prepper “The Wondering MC” in DS. You get “Sea Otter Suit” when you get connected with him. With this suit, you’ll be able to swim easily in the river, you won’t be drifted away! BB would be happy as well. 👍🌈🦀☔️🐟🐋🐬💀👶✋🤩😍 pic.twitter.com/nIsw5JS5t0

We also get the same scene in Japanese, with Tomokazu Sugita lending his popular voice to O’Brien.

The voice acting was intentionally given a style similar to what you’d hear in the seventies.

You may know Sugita-san for his roles as Yusuke Kitagawa in Persona 5, Chrom in Fire Emblem Awakening, and a metric ton of other relevant roles.

米国人気TV司会者のコナン・オブライエンさん(放浪のMC)の日本語吹き替えは、我らがカズ、杉田智和さんにお願いしました。思い切って、70年代風の吹き替え(超訳)にしてみました。お楽しみ下さい。

カズ、お待たせしました。

While Kojima-san calls it a “suit” in his tweets, it’s actually a hood. He explained the reason in another post:

It is officially called a Sea Otter hood. Originally, it was a full body suit which memorizes every gear and baggage that the player has. But we had some difficulty to adjust for all players’ situations, so we changed it to a hood instead. But I still call it a Sea Otter Suit. https://t.co/oWWShVipI1
