 So I'm gonna be honest, I didn't really think we would be talking about this again today, but look, when things are out there about the next Nintendo platform, I want to make sure that we're on top of that coverage and giving you the latest news. You guys probably know over the last couple of days about that 4chan post that had all this exact detailed information correct claiming to be developer working with the Pokemon company on Scarlet Violet DLC and specifically mentioning that there is going to be a graphics update patch releasing with DLC part 2 that's going to be for a new Switch model. Now all of this seems pretty good. What we want to know though is there anyone else who's heard anything at all? Any of the insiders who have a good track record? And we have an update today from none other than Jeffrey Grubb who turned out was correct that the Metro Prime remaster existed just Nintendo decided to shadow drop it instead of announcing it ahead of time but what are you gonna do? He already shaved his head to eat the crow on it not coming out last year. That being said we have some words from him on this thing that are very very positive for people that are on Team 2023 or early 2024. Let's dive into this after I remind you that we are on our road to 100,000 subscribers if we hit 100,000 by the time Tears of the Kingdom comes out on May 12th we're gonna give away a collector's edition of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom the art book the steel book the poster right that box it's beautiful that's what we'll give away if we hit 100k so why not hit subscribe today and let's get into this video. So Jeff Grubb has his show he does on his channel with Mike Minniati where they are called the last of the Nintendo's that's the name of the show it's like a daily news podcast thing that they do and in there they talked about the Pokemon leak from 4chan and he mentions that he honestly thinks that it looks like the Pokemon leak is pretty legit like it's pretty hard to argue against anything said in it because how exact it was it wasn't one of those you know sort of leaks that happens on 4chan or elsewhere where it was very vague and you know you just got lucky or something you know where it's coincidence exact name of the actual DLC was in there exact name of Pokemon exact descriptions of things you're going to see so it was so exact it's pretty hard to send it on whoever this was had direct knowledge now whether or not they're actually a developer I don't know but that's what Jeff Grubb said is that it seems like it's true but he also went on to say this graphics improvement patch to go along with a new switch I mean I'm part of me buys into that because I think a lot of games are going to need to have patches to work with the new switch one way or the other so why not do why not do upgrades at the same time but I don't know this is it is just kind of almost more frustrating than anything else to hear this yet again hear more evidence that a new switch is happening yet again I will say like unconfirmed I haven't been able to verify it this is like I'm once again hearing yes later this year for and I that's don't go write your headlines please because it's like I can't verify it so you would just be going on a rumor of a rumor but it's like man why do things have to start lining up in that direction yet again because it you know it feels like Nintendo doesn't even necessarily know I think they do know they will one day have some sort of switch follow-up so why wouldn't the Pokemon company get this game ready because they're gonna want to keep selling this game on that system as you can see he's not saying that this is like a verified thing that he's heard from a bunch of different sources it's down the grapevine so a person who started from a person who's heard from a person obviously it's a rumor from his end and he wants it treated as such so this isn't something that we're gonna go Jeff Grubb said that we're getting it this year or something it's just something that he's actually started to hear murmurs on Nintendo announcing it at least this year now he does later go on to say that there's a 45% chance that it could release this year what's interesting about the 45% chance is he was actually making a reference to fire emblem and it's interesting because in fire emblem the whole 45% chance of an enemy hitting you thing or 45% chance the enemy is gonna crit you it's almost like a 90% chance it's sort of an ongoing joke with fire emblem on how it handles its percentages in the battles and stuff that like the 45% never actually feels like it's 45% it's almost a guaranteed every time and seems like it's more of a hit than like 90% chance in other games it's crazy so anyway it's kind of an in-joke with fire emblem dimension 45% but the point is that obviously he has started to hear that it being released this year is starting to become possible again now he does note of course as you heard in that clip the hey look we've been down this road before about hearing about things possibly happening and coming so he's not really trying to act like he knows anything concrete here and he's very clear about that so want to be clear there that we shouldn't just like if it doesn't happen this year oh no Jeff Grubb was wrong that's pile on him very obvious here that this isn't something that he's certain on at all but it is interesting that he's starting to hear some stuff if other people like Nate the hate and others start to hear some stuff as well it just gets even more interesting the game developers conference is coming up soon as well and usually people that happen to have the dev kits that are working on things for later this year will start to talk to other developers so some stuff could come out of there as well look or whether we like it or not there's going to be a new system coming from Nintendo in the next 18 months it's going to happen I weren't unprecedented territory Nintendo said that they are aware they're an unprecedented territory with year 7 of the Nintendo switch coming up and he mentioned you know trying to do things in an unprecedented way and right now you know dropping tears of the kingdom and still releasing a brand-new system in the same year while tears of the kingdoms for the prior platform for Nintendo that's unprecedented for PlayStation that's normal they'll drop go to Shashima and the last of us part 2 in the final year of PlayStation 4 with PlayStation 5 already announced and coming up but Nintendo doesn't do that they don't release major games like tears of the kingdom in the same year they're releasing a new hardware and not like delay it for that hardware like hey new hardware is coming why not just delay a thing six months but that's that could be what he meant by unprecedented like Nintendo is trying something different instead of letting switch will meant to die here's a brand-new major game system selling type game because we're going to keep the switch will end up going until we're ready to to reveal this thing that that would be unprecedented for Nintendo but again this is obviously just speculation at this point that that's what they're doing we don't know we can still get no new system this year technically DLC part 2 releases winter I know they said winter 2023 winter really begins and like officially on December 25th so unless they're releasing in like the last week of the year it's highly likely DLC part 2 is probably coming early 2024 if we're if we're just being honest but who knows what we'll have to wait on that we know the e-shop listing by the way for April April's actually not winter not really sure why it says April it would make more sense if it was you know January February even March but what are you gonna do the listings are what they are they're probably massively movable all around because there isn't actually an exact release date for the DLCs yet just seasons fall and winter so I don't know you guys take this for what you will let me know your thoughts in this down below do you think this adds any more fuel to the fire obviously I think it adds something I mean it means that somebody who isn't claiming to be a developer breaking NDA well I mean clearly proving that they're breaking NDA in some sort of way with the knowledge they had yeah it is out there talking so I will see what happens I really really kind of want this to be a thing I think this lines up very well for Nintendo if a new switch is coming this year and I know some of you guys I read all the comments some of you guys like can we stop it's another year of this like it's never gonna stop guys like let's just let's just be frank okay we're entering the seventh year of switch if you thought people were gonna stop talking about Nintendo's next system when it's gonna come stop hearing things you're crazy man like we're obviously at the point that we absolutely should have be having these conversations you can argue a couple of years ago maybe we should to have them you can argue whatever you want you can you could say you're sick and tired of it but this is the time now where it actually sort of feels like okay six anniversary coming up it's about time to start having these conversations so we're having them we're gonna continue this conversation tonight on the Nintendo Prime podcast at 8 p.m. central time I hope to see all of you guys there I am Nathaniel Ruffles and it's from Nintendo Prime and I will catch you in that next video
