 Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime and today I'm super excited. I've been waiting for this day for months. Today we get to talk about the beginning of Summer Game Fest that has now been dated and because of that we get to actually talk about our kickoff event that's gonna be happening all throughout Summer Game Fest called Prime Gaming Fest and I even get to show you some of the stuff that we'll be giving away during the event. I am stoked for this. For those who don't know what Prime Gaming Fest is, buckle up because we have a lot to talk about but before we get into that, I wanna thank today's sponsor, well, Into the AM. Into the AM makes awesome printed tees like this, also solid color shirts. They are pretty strong, super soft, premium t-shirts. Everyone that's ever bought one through my link down in the description has said nothing but glowing things and they are actually part of my weekly attire. I absolutely love Into the AM and if you would like to get 10% off, go to Into the AM.com slash Nintendo Prime 10 on your first order and just enjoy the shirts. They're honestly some of the best shirts I've ever worn. Now, what is going on is Jeff Keely and the Summer Game Fest people have announced with this trailer behind me that June 9th is the kickoff event for Summer Game Fest where they're gonna have the day of devs and then obviously the big showcase and this is going to come before everything else. The Summer Game Fest is doing it a little different this year, so they claim. Honestly, Summer Game Fest is basically replaced E3 at this point. So what happens is there's a big kickoff event on June 9th that'll have a bunch of trailers and all this stuff showing off a whole bunch of various things. The day of devs is usually a day of where they have a bunch of developer interviews as well and then they kind of go on for multiple, multiple days after that. We know the following day they're gonna be hosting the Tribeca Game Festival which is gonna be showing off a whole bunch of stuff, notably Cuphead DLC will be there, but a bunch of other amazing indie games as well. It seems to be the day of the indie games. We know PC gaming shows actually slotting in some time in there. They haven't announced the official day of a PC gaming show. They did say they're going to be joining this. I presume Devolver Digital is gonna be part of this as well. They were part of Summer Game Fest last year. So they're a little show all slotting somewhere. We know Microsoft and Bethesda, their showcase is slotting in on that Sunday, June 12th and obviously more and more things are gonna be announced here over the coming weeks. But here's the thing, we now know when it starts, June 9th, which means we can now actually talk about our kickoff event. And honestly, some people might be going, well, why should Switch fans be excited about June 9th? Cause we don't know if Nintendo's participating yet in Summer Game Fest, but we do know there will be games appearing at the show that are going to be on Switch. Gollum, as an example, is in this trailer. That is a multi-platform third-party game coming to Switch. Also, hey, I don't know if you've heard of Harry Potter game is supposedly coming to Switch as well. That's in this trailer, Sonic Frontiers and more. So I guess we'll have to wait and see cause not everything's always in this trailer. Now, what is Prime Gaming Fest? Now Prime Gaming Fest is our own event that we host where you can watch all of Summer Game Fest right here on our channel, in addition to stuff that we are building around the show. So Summer Game Fest might be starting at 1 p.m. central time, but note that, that's the official start of Summer Game Fest. We'll be live at 9 a.m. central time. Four hours early cause we have a hell of a lot to get through ourselves. It's not only can you watch us react to all of Summer Game Fest right here, all the events, all the press conferences, all the news, you don't have to go anywhere else. We also have our own event built around this. This event is going to have giveaways. It's going to have competitions. It's going to have Nate and Eric from the Tenor Prime podcast going at it. We're going to have special guests. We already have guests lined up for the Xbox Bethesda Conference. We have guests lined up for launch day. We have guests lined up for, well, technically Saturday as well and we don't even know what's coming on Saturday yet. We have guests lined up right now for every single day to come on and talk gaming. We have segmented shows. We have special conversations. We have obviously fan competitions, including things like this year. We are actually going to be debuting, I believe a version of Wheel of Fortune is going to be played by our fans for prizes and so much more. And we're giving away thousands of dollars with the items all throughout either stuff that we purchased ourselves or partnered with companies for. In fact, today I actually am really happy to show you a nice little pile of stuff for those interested in the kind of things you want. Now these are just some of the physical items. We have more physical items coming. As an example, we'll be giving away a couple 4K gamer pros. If you don't know what those are, it's because they haven't actually launched yet. That's right. You can go join the Kickstarter for it but the actual product isn't something you could buy and use today. And we're going to have a couple of them to give away before they even come out. So that's going to be really crazy that we'll be able to do that. I'm so happy to partner with the team behind that. So that's an item we don't have yet. It's actually shipping. It should be here next week, Wednesday I believe is what the parcel center will arrive. But we have other things as well. Like we partnered with Gully Kit so we can give away a King Kong 2 Pro controller. These have been sold out. These are for my money. The best controllers for Switch, hall sensors, no drift. I absolutely love this controller. It's got NFC support. So you got your Amiibo support in there. It's got motion controls. It's got Rumble. It's got customizable buttons. It's really, really cool. Turbo mode, all that. I absolutely love this controller. It's my favorite. It's my daily driver. And I'm happy to give at least one away. Maybe two. I'm talking to them right now about getting my hands on another one before they ship it out to retailers. Because obviously once it's for retailers it's a free-for-all before they sell out again. We showed these off before. We're gonna give you a couple art pieces. We'll probably have a few more art pieces to get enjoying. We got some Star Fox art here and some Pokemon art. Again, we're looking into some more stuff to join the fray for that. But those are obviously part of it. We love highlighting art during our show to give away. This is an example of one of, I believe, two or three of the Skulk and Company cases will be given away. I'm still in email exchanges with them to get them shipped out. They were actually looking to ship me a giant batch of these. So we might be able, and these are specific for the Switch OLED. Although they do have a thing you can take out and use them with any Switch besides the Switch Lite. And I believe they might be sending me maybe even up to 10 of these to give away during our show. We have a few of them already on hand. We're still working out all that to get it here in time. Next up we have some of these. These are actually Switch game cases. So they're kind of cool. Like this one obviously, it looks like the Animal Crossing Switch. But then you can open it and inside, it can hold a bunch of games. We've never actually done a review on this product or anything, but these are all just little quick storages. There's a little advertising paper if you care about the company. We got two of these to give away. Looks like you can hold one. It's one, two, three, four, five. All right, one, two, three, four, five, six. So yeah, that's 60 Switch games that can hold in here, physical games. Obviously this one's kind of cool because it says Video Game Collection. This one's a more artsy, still in the plastic one here. Obviously I just opened one so I can take a look at it. So I don't know what the hell I'm giving away here. So we've got a couple of those to give away. Also for you aspiring YouTubers out there, we got a couple of microphones here from Toner. These are great USB starter microphones. And for anyone looking to just get started in YouTube, it's really good to have a quality mic. And while these aren't like top of the line, as I said, excellent starter microphones. So yeah, we'll give away a couple of those. I wanna thank Toner for enabling us to do that. Now this is something we actually gave away last year, but the person who won told us, hey, you know what, why don't you re-give it away? And that is this giant Dacket case that can carry everything. I got stuff in here right now. So obviously there's Switch games in a giant pouch, but you can put your dock in here, the pro controller in here right now, you know, your Switch and everything. It can carry everything that comes with a Switch. It's a nice little travel case, we'll be giving that away. Now we also have this smaller version from Evolver. This could do the same thing, it's just smaller. Maybe not quite as protective. I would say the Dacket one is like, hey, if you're gonna go on an overseas flight, that's the one you maybe want, you're gonna do more of a local flight and you just wanna bring your dock and stuff with. Maybe this one, this one could probably fit into your luggage bag. So yeah, it's kinda cool. We'll be doing a video on that one later. Also guys, we'll be giving away, you guys know we're giving away a Switch, right? So obviously we'll be giving away a Switch in the event. And so much more, we obviously have hundreds of games lined up already to give away. We have tons and tons of game codes. It's absolutely insane. Pardon me, there's a ton of companies for that. And plus additional things that we'll be throwing in the pile that we haven't even purchased yet. So I am super, super stoked for Prime Gaming Fest. Again, you can win all these. They'll be pretty much absolutely free to enter. There will be a select few items that will be raffle items for our members, but otherwise everything else will be absolutely free to enter from whether it's gaming competitions, whether it's just a random draw from the chat, whether it's gonna be through something like Gleam.io, whatever it is, we're giving away a lot. So we're trying to outdo what we did last year, which is gonna be tough, but we're trying to. So there's more and more coming in. We got a month to go to get even more stuff for you guys. We love giving back to the gaming community. We love putting smiles on people's faces. We know all of us struggle for various reasons, pandemic, family, just very sicknesses. We deal with mental issues, everything. And my goal with Prime Gaming Fest Beyond just reacting to gaming and having a good time with you guys is to bring smiles to people's faces. The whole point of the giveaways, it's not about growing the channel. It's not about, oh my gosh, you know, whatever. I lose money on this show every year. And there's a reason I lose money on this show every year. It doesn't matter how many super chats, how many donations we get. You guys go nuts sometimes. The amount of money spent on a show like this, numbers in the, let me see, one, two, three, four, almost in the five figures. So that's, it's quite a bit of dough to put on this show. But we're very, very happy to do it. We're very happy for all of our partners. We're very happy for all of you. We just wanna make people smile and put on the best show possible. And you know what's great about all this? If Summer Game Fest ends up being lame, that we have plans for that as well to not only keep Summer Game Fest at the front and center, but also make sure that we entertain you. If you guys saw our E3 Extravaganza last year, you know what we're talking about. We will find a way to make Summer Game Fest and thus Prime Gaming Fest worth being at pretty much every single second of what's going to be 12-hour shows. So thank you guys so much for tuning in. I am Nathan Rufflejens from Nintendo Prime. And I'm gonna catch each and every one of you guys in the next video.
