 Hey everyone welcome back to Nintendo Prime. Before I get into the video I got to remind you we are giving away a $99 Nintendo Switch eShop gift card to enter head down to the description or the pinned comment. If you've already entered we actually added some new ways to enter so I would check it again trying to promote our podcast. Alright let's get into some big news here because while we head into the weekend and we had the Nintendo Direct there was actually more news coming that we knew about. We weren't sure what news was going to end up being for Switch and of course we're talking about BlizzCon. So BlizzCon and its online digital event all this stuff most of the big news is already out from it and we now know of a couple big things coming to Switch including some Diablo news. Remember we did get Diablo 3 on Switch but first before we get into the Diablo news let's actually talk about the Blizzard Arcade Collection. So the Blizzard Arcade Collection is now available on Switch like literally right now. You can play basically it's got 3 games. So it's got Blackthorn which is as a mercenary captain Kyle Blackthorn traverse an alien planet and liberate the androthy people and claim your destiny. It's another arcade classic called the Lost Vikings where you help 3 Vikings, Eric, Balog and Olaf overcome challenging platforms and puzzles to find their way back home and then rock and roll racing which it says rock out is the raddest vehicle or destruction derby this side of 1993. R&R is back with original rock and metal soundtrack hits plus a few surprises and Nintendo has been promoting this as well. So this isn't just Blizzard throwing this out there. Nintendo has partaken in the festivities. Now there's actually something interesting about this collection because in addition to the arcade collection they're actually offering what's called a Blizzard's 30 year celebration collection which is also available on Switch. This pack not only includes the new retro arcade collection which is sold separately as well but also a cache of commemorative in-game content for Overwatch and Diablo 3. Keep in mind you need to own both of these games to actually make use of this. The game is already included. It says Starcraft Rebellious Marshall Jim Rainer is touching down at Overwatch on the Reinhardt legendary skin for Reinhardt bringing with him a supply drop of classic loot boxes. Golden loot boxes which include a guaranteed legendary along with a commemorative 30th anniversary icon and spray. The bundle unlocks the following items in Overwatch when you purchase that 30 year celebration includes Blizzard's 30th anniversary portrait, Blizzard's 30th anniversary spray, Reinhardt a legendary five classic loot boxes, three golden loot boxes and then for Diablo's Dark Wanderer again seeks the east adopt the guise of Tristram's Fallen Warrior in Diablo 3 with a terrifying familiar transmog set wings, pet and portrait. It unlocks this in Diablo 3, a terror unleashed wings, the dark merglar pet, dark wanderer portrait and the wanderer's transmog set. It's going to end up costing 30 bucks for this so you're basically paying for some cosmetics but you do get the arcade games included so that is a note here since what are the pricing on those arcade games originally let me see here I think the pricing was no one you consider the pricing of the arcade games are $19.99 on their own you are basically paying $10 for the 30th celebration cosmetic sort of items in Overwatch and obviously in Diablo 3 now I said there's gonna be some Diablo news and that's not the Diablo news I'm talking about so during this event they unveiled Diablo 2 Resurrected which is what you could basically consider Diablo 2 Remake Slash Remaster and my lord does it look really really good hopefully they don't mess this up because this looks phenomenal and given that Diablo 3 is great Diablo 4 is looked pretty good so far I think Diablo 2 Resurrected actually looks just fantastic and I think we can have some relatively good faith that's gonna turn out well it is coming to Nintendo Switch it's actually coming to all platforms all major platforms switch included it basically here's like the PR they put up for it Diablo 2 Resurrected includes all content from both Diablo 2 and it's epic expansion Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction bad you away through icy caverns horrific tombs filled with undead abominations and frozen wastelands to the frigid summit of Mount Arian and stop bail the Lord of Destruction raise hell with two Lord of Destruction playable classes the cunning assassin master of traps and shadow disciplines and the savage druid a bold shapeshifter and summoner who commands primal elemental magic that's right folks we're going back to hell here with Diablo 2 Resurrected so this is awesome to see this coming to switch I feel like when we when we talk about games coming to switch sometimes we are not fully invested I guess is the way to put it in these third-party offerings I have spent a lot of time or especially over the last few days debating with people the relevance of AAA third-party games on switch because Diablo 2 is definitely a triple-a game even though this is the resurrected version not the original of course the originals all-time classic so yes it's still a triple-a game coming to switch just like we're getting Overwatch 2 which by the way there was news on Overwatch 2 the news was basically no news if you really if you really want to know Overwatch 2 it basically they need time to ensure it's a worthy successor now we've heard the games kind of in development hell but still somehow progressing in fact you know what screw it here's here's the news on Overwatch 2 which was already known for switch so we've been talking about the game about this universe I know you all love it so much right now we could sit down and have a night of Overwatch 2 and have it a really fun experience and I think we need some more time till we could say it's perfectly polished in a way we want it so basically they have a playable version of Overwatch 2 just not really ready for public consumption we've made such incredible strides since we first announced this and showed it in the community at BlizzCon 2019 we want to create something that really moves people that really touches people we want to become part of your life and for you to experience it our goals for Overwatch 2 to be the worthy successor to be the first game to be the next evolution to be a true sequel and then they did like a behind-the-scenes kind of thing with Overwatch 2 so it it's it's it is what it is you know what are you gonna do the game's gonna come when the game comes probably 2022 I think it's been officially delayed to 2022 so that's but still think about this for the first time in really a long time we have a generation of Nintendo console where we can legitimately watch a third-party stream and actually think we might get some content coming to a Nintendo platform out of it BlizzCon is always hype for PC fans always hype for other consoles and now it's hype for Nintendo 2 because a lot of these announcements the Overwatch 2 the arcade stuff the 30th anniversary celebration and now Diablo 2 resurrected are coming to switch yeah the World of Warcraft stuff they announced not necessarily relevant I'd love to talk about that maybe in a future Prime News episode not really relevant to this video today but I honestly I'm just excited that we could watch third-party things like this and actually expect something beyond say the super casual just dances of the world like oh you can always watch it Ubisoft thing and be like oh yeah we're gonna get just dance again but you legitimately might get something else you might get an Assassin's Creed game you might get a Mario plus Rabbids Kingdom battle you can well I was about to say you can legitimately watch EA but I mean until EA actually shows I give two shits about switch I suppose we shouldn't really get to shits about EA if you just own a Switch and don't let no plan to play EA games but still legitimately there are reasons to be excited as a switch fan for third-party content even as people are so scared that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are gonna take third-party games away from switch I don't really know how that's gonna happen if I'm completely frank with you switch already only gets a minute fraction of triple a third-party support and the minute fraction they get they're gonna keep getting because the switch is gonna be a hundred plus million seller and those third-party games are selling companies don't want to leave money on the damn table so if there's more money to be made by maybe dumbing down a game enough to bring it to switch they're going to do it they're going to do it plus switch can now have like a streaming thing although I don't think you know I controls the one that they released here in the West I don't think we've seen a lot of success in terms of sales for that but whatever the point is be happy we had something happen at a blizzcon that legitimately felt like switch owners should be hyped as for me personally I'm not really interested in the arcade collection I know there's gonna be some people that are they are classics I did play some of those in the arcades when I was a kid it's just not really my cup of tea I've never been massively into Diablo when it comes to Blizzard I'm basically a Warcraft guy I play World of Warcraft even still to this day not you know I don't spend as much time as I used to God but still I play World of Warcraft to this day occasionally and then you know I like Warcraft 1 2 and 3 also like Starcraft those craft games are my cup of tea and right now those games don't really exist on the switch hopefully that changes someday down the line I mean it probably won't but it's whatever I also PC games that doesn't really bother me that's usually where I play those ones but anyways thank you guys so much for tuning in I am Nathaniel Rumblejans from Nintendo Prime and this was your blizzcon update for Nintendo Switch 2021 catch you guys in the next video
