 Hey everyone welcome back to Prime News no funny skits for this intro just be sure to drop a like subscribe for more content be sure to tune in next week we have a special brand new podcast episode coming your way that might as well just call it a reboot of the nintendo prime podcast it's going to be pretty awesome i'm also using a newer green screen setup that i've been using so i don't know if the quality difference is there for you maybe the coloration of me is different i have no idea uh but there is just more light so let there be light so in our first story today switch is getting a version of a game that sony actually originally tried to ban now i'm not gonna say that sony didn't have good reasons to ban but we know that they've been handling how they approve games to release on playstation 4 differently and uh there have been banning games that they feel aren't appropriate they're trying to protect the children apparently nintendo doesn't care about that or doesn't agree with it because they are allowing the full uncensored release of this game which was banned originally by sony uh because it depicts well what they consider to be um children in sexual situations uh if you can't tell this is a japanese game you're actually seeing it on screen right now it's a japanese game and usually when i started thinking about japanese anime style uh sexualized situations i start to immediately jump to hentai i don't know that i would go that far with this game but it is an ongoing franchise that has existed on sony and playstation in the past but sony has now banned uh however sony is getting a version of this game it's just edited where the sexual situations are basically cut out of the game uh and it's called the umgega labyrinth life uh that is the version coming to switch and then the one going to playstation 4 is just called labyrinth life as i said switch version is uncensored the games are exactly identical beyond the sexual content uh the original game was banned by sony for not passing some arbitrary board in the pow region they still could have allowed it to release it just went to have like an official rating um the issue seems to be the sexual depictions of underage girls which to me again japanese is the definition of hentai uh it's actually a rogue like jrpg that's been well received by people who have played it for the jrpg elements uh but it's not exactly shy about what the game is so it's an ongoing franchise uh and part of the stick of this ongoing franchise is when you gain omega power which is like what you get for defeating enemies it actually makes the size of your chest grow so uh those chesticles out there on the women just get bigger and bigger the more enemies you defeat and there's obviously some other sexualized content in the game so my takeaway here is that i understand why sony originally blocked the game although they're letting them out edited uh revamped version come out but i honestly um this is like what happens in japan there's like dating sims that are kind of like this and some other stuff uh it's kind of part of the japanese culture and you might be like oh man underage people are like not underage people specifically we're talking about fake anime characters and i think when it comes to fake anime characters i'm a little bit more lenient on this from but again that's just my personal opinion as always i'm actually wondering what you guys think about it you think it's cool that nintendo is allowing the full uncensored release of this game it is happening in october uh it's going to be digital only if you happen to be interested in looking it up but i i don't know i'm kind of torn on this because i can agree with sony's original stance that obviously child pornography is wrong but like these aren't actual children so it's different so i i don't know uh you guys let me know i mean these are basically anime fantasies that can't happen in real life because people don't look like enemy people in real life i i don't know you guys let me know what you think about this down in the comments below nintendo of europe has announced that fire emblem three houses is actually getting of even harder difficulty mode added for free later this year in an update uh the game does release tomorrow i know some people might already have it early or do midnight launches and stuff like that review copies but uh right now the only available difficulties are normal and hard and usually the difference at least from my experience of fire among between normal and hard uh is basically kind of like a classic versus non-classic mode where in normal characters don't die when they when they die in battle whereas in hard the characters do die if they die in battle and that has always traditionally been some of the difference in fire emblem difficulty over and even harder mode is being added in later this year must be something that just wasn't ready for launch and they didn't focus on and now like whatever we're gonna add in later kind of like master mode in breath of the wild so i will have to see how that turns out obviously a lot of people that are really hardcore into fire emblem are going to be interested in the hardest of the hardest difficulties just like i was with master mode in breath of the wild so we'll have to see what happens but i'm honestly i think this is nothing but a positive it's a good thing it's being added for free and it really shouldn't hinder any current progress at the game because if you're going to start playing the game tomorrow and you're like oh i want to wait for the hardest difficulty the game was designed with normal and hard in mind so this is kind of like an afterthought so it might not be balanced properly for that hardest difficulty uh so i don't know i would just enjoy it on hard if that's what you want and i mean come on the games they have like 400 plus hours and require multiple playthroughs you know from the beginning to actually enjoy the full thing so i mean you don't have to complete everything on the hardest difficulty do you i don't know maybe you're that hardcore of a fan and you're going to put a thousand hours in but i don't know that's just me uh you guys let me know what you think about this hardest harder difficulty down in the comments below drugalia lost has now become nintendo's second most successful mobile game in terms of pure revenue it is now across the hundred million dollar revenue threshold and honestly the number one game fighter them heroes for nintendo is almost at 600 million and nothing is even close uh it surpassed obviously super mario ron and really animal crossing pocket camp is the one that surpassed that is a little surprising to some people uh it is a really decent game on phones if you're looking for a decent one obviously with micro transactions uh the top three territories that are spending money on this game even though it's free is japan the united states and believe it or not hong kong interesting huh now it's actually least popular in hong kong compared to the other two territories but the per user stats in hong kong are staggering for every person that plays drugalia lost they're spending an average of 63 dollars while playing that game it's like 47 in japan and only 17 in the u.s which could tell you the u.s audience is large for it but we're not spending as much money as japan and obviously hong kong so i think that's an interesting stat just to kind of look at and examine the success of this game the success of future nintendo endeavors uh dr mario is is around 800k or so at this point not really surprising game just came out it's going to take some time for that revenue to build up but anyways i honestly think this is good news for nintendo i know they're trying really hard to build that mobile tier it's nice to see an original ip that has a much lower install base than pretty much everything else nintendo has released do this well for them but it's very clear the market that plays those mobile games doesn't seem to have as big of a problem with it honestly i think the bigger issue right now in the video game industry is that grand them auto five added like an actual virtual casino in the game that you could spend money on chips but can't get paid out so it's almost like it's literally dancing the line of microtransactions not being gambling because now you're literally gambling in the game so there's that anyways obviously the stipulation is that it's not literal gambling because you can't get paid out but i mean it's virtual gambling take that for what you will uh there's actually a lot of casino games you can download on your phone and stuff like that that allow you to do the same thing so i don't know that it's actually going to change anything but it definitely is a hey look you can't say that this doesn't promote gambling when uh here's gambling literally being promoted with microtransactions yesterday we talked about nintendo finally at least internally admitting that joy country is their fault well that admittance was only in north america it turns out that most people in europe are unable to get their out of warranty joy cons fixed for joy con drift lots of people in the uk france and germany in particular have been reporting that they've called nintendo and they're not willing to cover and they have no policy changes however there are other countries that have been covering like netherland stating that there is a policy change so yet to wonder if the policy change just hasn't made its rounds in europe yet to all of the various uh support teams what you have to remember in north america is all of the support in north america is handled by nintendo of america in the us in a central location so it's much easier to get the message out than it would be to all these various um different you know nintendo of germany nintendo of uk all these different territories in nintendo of europe to actually have to get that message to could take a lot longer so i would just say wait a month and then try to claim your joy con drifts at your local country in europe and see what happens because i think this is this is not just going to be a north american policy i bet you it's going to spread all throughout nintendo i can't believe we're actually talking about this disney t-sum t-sum i actually played it at e3 but i never did an impression video on it it's actually pretty fun weird very weird the minigames are very strange but what i actually want to talk about is that they are releasing in japan anyways an exclusive switch bundle and that switch bundle has a modified well switch it has the revised version of the switch it comes next year you get custom joy cons you get a custom switch you get custom backplate custom dock it all looks really really cool and because it's disney i bet you it's going to become an instinct collector's item like many other disney things become but i just think it's really cool and interesting i'm sure spawnway probably covered it uh in his news wave shout out the spawnway if he does a show similar to mine just different covers more stuff uh the outside of nintendo but like it's got that purple colors which is kind of his channel's color scheme so i don't know that's kind of cool you're seeing it on screen i think it's uh just a neat addition it's weird that this of all things is getting this i mean where's our fire emblem bundle nintendo darksiders genesis which is like a diablo take on the darksiders series is supposed to come out at some point this year it was announced during e3 and it looks interesting but what's in the news right now is there's a collector's edition and a nephilim i think i'm pronouncing that right edition as well they're both two different types of collector's editions they include all these various things that you're seeing on screen but what's interesting is that the nephilim edition cost three hundred and seventy nine dollars and the only difference between it and the hundred and nine dollar collector's edition is the inclusion of a custom board game that means they are charging you two hundred and seventy dollars for that board game now obviously if you've ever gone to um like a games by james or some sort of uh board game shop you'll notice that some board games are really expensive into the hundred hundred and fifty but two hundred and seventy dollars is in the upper echelon of elite adult board game you're talking massive dnd you know additions that include a ton of stuff so i think that this is definitely overpriced however it is limited there's like only five thousand of these things that are going to exist worldwide so i guess that adds to the collectability of it and if you like to collect darksiders figures there's a figure included in all this but that's in both versions so i don't know i think it's a little bit ridiculous but maybe some of you guys out there that are more into you know the katans and and dnd and all the stuff we're doing tabletop board game stuff maybe to you this is reasonable to me as someone who's actually been into that stuff i think this isn't going to be a little pricey especially since if you don't know what kind of audience exists for but very few people are going to own it even fewer are going to play it because i don't know how you open a two hundred and seventy dollar item that's limited like this the value on it's gonna skyrocket in you know five ten years but hey whatever if you guys are gonna pay it go for it but what links in the description i guess the preorder if it's available again there's no real estate for this game yet and our final story of the day is mostly nintendo being able to e-peen on all of us and let us know how rich they are but it's also a point i like to bring up because a lot of people think no nintendo's doomed doomed i say well here's the deal according to risk masters a japanese company that analyzes uh companies value in cash on hand so this is this isn't a hypothetical all how much stock is out there what's your stock valuation this is hey look today how much money do you have sitting in a bank and right now to shiba is the number one company in japan at nine billion dollars in cash nintendo is number two got so much money they have sitting in the bank seven point nine billion dollars usd sitting in a bank nintendo is rich extremely rich when people always bring up oh nintendo's doomed it's like the next system crashes and this and that and the online oh my god it's so horrible guess what nintendo is the second richest company basically in japan sony is nowhere near the top 10 sony has basically no cash on hand because all the debts they owe so yeah nintendo is in a much better financial position than pretty much everyone but to shiba in japan so i think nintendo is going to be just fine this is why we keep saying it doesn't really matter how many times nintendo screws up they can keep screwing up for like 50 years and they will just then finally get to the point where their cash reserves are gone nintendo's cash reserves are insane they're very smart financially uh every now and then they'll take like a billion bucks and buy back some more nintendo stock especially when the stock is dipping they'll buy it at that low price so then they can use it in future partnerships when the price skyrockets because the price always skyrockets for nintendo they are a company whose valuation dips at the lows but always peaks back up because nintendo is always on that comeback trailer i mean right now uh switch is kind of their current comeback trail or are they already back i mean is is nintendo officially back with switch i mean it does have to replace three ds and we you or ds and we so i don't know you guys let me know if you think nintendo is fully back i obviously think they are hello tomorrow kill a kill fire i'm of three houses uh yeah wolfenstein youngblood come on nintendo tomorrow is going to be a great day to be a switch owner and that's going to do for today's prime
