 So again, I apologize Today's video is going to be really interesting. I'm not gonna sound very good. I'm I'm sick. I said I was sick yesterday Ended up sounding better than I thought I did but today. I'm definitely out of it didn't even think I was gonna make a video but I Finally was able to go to bed my fever went away and I've been thinking this whole time I was even dreaming about it about yesterday's Nintendo Direct and And there's two specific points. I want to get off my mind one of them is that it feels like At least to me that Nintendo is finally getting their party support that You know rock star or not this not so much rock star I guess like 2k and Bethesda and all the stuff are starting to show people that the switch is as capable as any other Device out there to support these kind of triple a games And when you think about it, we're getting doomed for crying out loud and and do not even like the big announcement, right? That's a little bit of an older game How about the Wolfenstein 2 the new Colossus? That's a game that hasn't even released on other platforms yet and switches getting it Yes, which is getting it later the decision to make it probably came after they had already been pretty far along But it's still an important game part of this push for Nintendo switch to be accepted and That's that's a point. I really want to hit on today is I Think we've reached a point now And I know we're not even past the first year. We have no idea what sales are gonna be We don't know if any of these games are gonna sell That it's time for the rest of the community That has been avoiding switch that has been Crapping on switch that doesn't get the appeal that doesn't that think anyone that buys it is buying a kitty console that That Comes up with any reason in the world to trash the system and I'm not gonna pretend the Nintendo fans are innocent I mean I'm probably feeding running by mentioning but like landing leg 8 as an example on our videos There's always finding a reason one after another after another to trash Xbox and there's a lot of people that do that to Nintendo There's a lot of people that do that to switch and I feel like With all these games coming and with Nintendo's continued output and with the continued positive reception and no not everything's perfect with switch I get it voice chat sucks They don't have a full online infrastructure Universal account systems kind of there, but it's not you can't use the account on multiple systems There's no cloud saving yada yada yada all things that might may or may not ever be addressed Reality is that the switch has kind of like It felt earlier this year. It was just like a baby chicken you know you have a chick coming out of the egg and Earlier this year when switch release that was the first crack right it packed up the egg shell and Cracked it and you can start to see life coming out of the switch and now here. We are Middle of September just got done with a direct had you know a bunch of things happen a bunch of games of release Which was like, you know more cracks in the egg and I feel like here We are middle of September and the chicken is finally open the egg Right that you can now see the chicks had you're talking about how cute it is. Ah great life has come into Existence fully and that's where the switch is now it it had its initial period it showed off it looked good and now it's in the prove it mode and it's proving it and It's time to accept switch as a mainstay platform in the video game industry And I don't mean accept it in the way that people were kind of forced to accept we right like we was selling just so well People just had to accept it was a thing and even if they didn't like what it was doing, right? There's a lot of people didn't like that we was popularizing shovelware was popularizing motion-control party games A lot of people didn't like that and that's not to say that's all that was on we I loved we there's a lot of great games on We but it's hard to deny it did popularize a lot of genres and a lot of types of games that hadn't been popular for a long time so Switch isn't like that switch instead is popularizing the idea that we don't need to be confined to a single room or a single TV and it's an Idea that just makes a lot of sense right in the day and age and gaming we are we should be able to play what we want when we want where we want and That's the way it is with our phone. That's the way it is another laptops and It's not that way with home consoles except for switch So now the switch is getting all this big third-party support It's getting all of the you know Nintendo exclusive stuff It's getting square enix making exclusive games granted the games aren't like at the level of a final fantasy You know we're talking like project Octopath travelers and and stuff like that It's still showing dedication from third parties that they are taking the switch platform Very seriously mean Bethesda is clearly taking it seriously. They have three games coming out Heck we just learned that Skyrim is actually the special edition version Which some people didn't think the switch could even run but it's getting the special edition version No, there's no mods and there's no mods planned at this time. Maybe they'll add that in the future I don't know I don't know how much that matters to some people It doesn't really matter to me if I want to play mods I would do it on PC anyways because you the ability to Mod on PC is vastly superior to the mods that you can do on PlayStation 4 and Xbox one anyways but there's just this caveat of support coming to switch and I Just feel like it's time to take the chains off and just let the switch fly free If it blows up even more great if it doesn't great but the gaming community now needs to accept the switch as a serious gamer platform because it People always look for reasons to dismiss things. They don't want to succeed Or does dismiss things that upset them or take gaming in a direction people don't want it to go But it's not like switch is killing the PlayStation 4 PlayStation 4 is still selling really well. So I think they can work together I think PC gaming switch and PlayStation 4 3d platforms. They can work really well together I think Xbox one can even work into that with the Xbox one X. I feel like Switch needs to be just accepted as a true gaming platform. It's not a system You're buying so you can be like a 3ds owner and and play these inferior games. No, it's a serious gaming platform now My other point I wanted to hit on and I'm sorry if this sounds rambly. It's really hard for me to think right now I'm so congested Yes, that Mario Odyssey bundle So I Understand why people are excited for it Maybe because the bundle costs 379 dollars and seventy nine or three hundred seventy nine dollars and ninety nine cents and Soon as I saw that price. I'm like, wait a second What's the point of the bundle again? Oh, worry you get red joy comes because You're paying for the game and the included case in the price tag So it's not even a deal You're not getting a deal to call this a bundle is really weird because the switch costs two ninety nine ninety nine Without any games and for 80 bucks you can decide what game or what case you want on your own Maybe you don't want Odyssey with it. Maybe you want Maybe you want Zelda, maybe you want, you know, what whatever in their game So it's not even a deal. It feels like a GameStop bundle, right? Like it's not even a deal and the console itself didn't do anything cool to it Yes, they're giving you like Matt red joy cons instead of neon joy cons neon red joy cons, but I mean so Why couldn't they customize something on the system to make it feel more unique, you know It almost feels like what's you know, the Chronicles 2 is doing to the pro controller is a far better Custom job than Super Mario Odyssey is giving to the switch as a custom thing I mean about this up several times in the past I'm bringing up again Monster Hunter double-cross in Japan had a switch bundle that not only was it not, you know overpriced it Like had a fully custom dock So the dock itself was themed to Monster Hunter and it's the only time we've seen this happen and that was a third-party company So Nintendo can't do that with Odyssey I'm gonna just call it what it is. It's a lazy what Nintendo's doing with the Super Mario Odyssey bundle in the United States It's lazy one. They're not willing to lose any money by bundling the game in the 299 to What they're giving you with the game and the case is exactly what it would cost if you didn't buy the bundle in the first place and Three all they're giving you is red joy cons, which for they're probably gonna make those available to purchase separately anyways Just like they did for arms and like they did for Splatoon and like they're gonna do for pretty much any joy con color out there They're gonna be available to purchase separately. So it's It's a little frustrating that That's the first big bundle we get in the United States is a bundle that isn't even that great of a deal And isn't any cheaper than just not buying that stuff bundled Just my two cents, I guess But yeah, anyways, I'm the thinner of a dance from Nintendo Prime if you like this video You know what to do this like the video hit that dislike button subscribe for more and yes There will be one more video coming up later today. It's the next part of our podcast this week Because I'm obviously I could barely talk right now. So there won't be another video New video made today, but thank you guys. Love ya, and I'll see you in the next one
