 Hey everyone, I am Nathaniel Replychance from Nintendo Prime and this video today is a little different as you can tell I'm sitting at our podcast table with one of our podcast mics And that's because today or really last night we hit our $100 stretch goal on patreon that means that we are going to have a podcast Every single week and I'm gonna work extra hard to make sure that we have special guests So it's not just Eric and I but you know that doesn't mean there will be episodes Or just Eric and I some quick and dirty ones, but we're aiming to have special guests and other YouTube Personalities on every single week. We obviously will have some of our patreon guests on every single week because or not every week But some weeks because we do have a tier on patreon where you can get a chance to guest But this actually gives me an opportunity to talk about Expanding our patreon and expanding what we do at Nintendo Prime and giving all of you guys out there who are watching this on YouTube or wherever you happen to be checking this out a chance to understand and a chance to support us and hopefully I Have something to offer here for you That will make you want to support us on patreon now The big thing is that we have a new stretch goal So if you guys remember back there's a video up here You can check out where I announced a $500 stretch goal for a live news show and I think I jumped the gun because a $500 is a lot of money to ask for a show that you guys do not have a proof of concept for so instead of me Focusing on that $500 goal now that stretch goal is going to remain. I am now offering a stretch goal in between So for $300 we will bring you game reviews Specifically we are guaranteeing one game review per month and this is obviously of the video review Capacity now we are willing to review more than one game per month But we're only willing to commit right now to one game because of time constraints reviewing a game takes a long time And if you're actually wondering if you look up here, we already did a video review once it was for Mario plus Raven skin The metal so we do have an example of a video review. You can go check out I obviously I'm looking with each review to improve some of the editing or improve some of the recording Obviously improve the script But there was a lot of people that really liked what I had to say in that review So yeah, that's what our new stretch goal is it is to guarantee we review one game promote because if you think about it Reviewing games is very time-intensive. It could take over a hundred hours of just play time with a game to To review it and that doesn't include any editing or script writing or notetaking or any of that things You need to do to make a quality review Plus I hope you guys agree that I offer a little something unique with our reviews in terms of my perspective and how I view things I try to be I don't want to say I try to be unbiased because it's impossible to be unbiased when you're talking about an opinion But I try to be fair to every game that we play and every product we look at and consider The audience for that product when we're talking about it, but beyond that That's obviously a nice stretch goal that'll enable us to purchase the game and obviously Support the time it's going to take to create that review every month I want to announce some new tiers and some other new features here. So Before I announce the tiers specifically I do want to announce one new feature. We're doing right here at the channel every single week I announced it technically last night during a live stream, but many of you guys weren't tuning in Once per week, we're gonna have a live Q&A session This is gonna happen either on Friday or Saturdays around 8 to 9 p.m And it'll last between one in two hours That weekly live Q&A is just me going, you know one-on-one or as close to as one-on-one as I can with you guys So yeah, you have that to look forward to Now I will note that the first questions I'm going to answer in the Q&A are gonna come directly from our patrons So on patreon whether you're a $1 backer or a $100 backer every single patron will be able to respond to a post I'm going to put up every single Wednesday that Ask them to know ask me questions. It's an ask me anything format So you want to ask me about my family you want to ask me about my you know my living situation my income my jobs You want to ask me about Nintendo, you know, you want to get questions in about Microsoft and Xbox And Sony will PlayStation or anything PC. I'm actually a big tech cat. I built my own PC I watch a lot of tech things. I really love technology in general I actually just switched from an iPhone over to a galaxy s8 plus But I'm still really interested in things like talking about the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X or 10 whatever they want to call it but yeah, it's a chance for you guys to ask me anything and That's gonna take place on Patreon so there'll be a post every week where people can go on to get their questions I'm gonna go through those questions first and then if there's still time left as I said I'm limiting this between one to two hours, then I will get to questions from the actual live chat So yes, even if you don't join patreon. There is a chance. I will answer your question. You can just guarantee I'm going to answer your question if you are a patreon supporter So obviously we have some new tears. So what I'm gonna do is I've added a lot more than two I plan to initially add two new tears But what I did was I actually fleshed out our patreon so it makes a lot more sense in our tears And I'm just going to go through every single tear because some of you guys may not know what you get on patreon besides now this exclusive Ability to you know Q&A I get your questions answered in the weekly Q&A For $1 or more per month you gain access to patreon backer exclusive updates again That includes the Q&A you gain an exclusive patreon only role on our discord server And with that you can directly contact me on a day-to-day basis I don't guarantee I'm gonna respond if there's too many people trying to get a hold of me But I do guarantee I'm gonna read all of your message if you try to contact me You also have what's not mentioned here is we have a patreon exclusive chat room on our discord server So they're that that's there as well For $3 or more per month you get a patreon exclusive perspective of my work in a behind-the-scenes video So it includes behind-the-scenes picks and videos essentially at least one V-log of what it takes to do what we do at Nintendo Prime each month exclusive for patreon backers who Commit $3 or more per month plus you receive all previous rewards The early access tier you will have exclusive early access to our pay Nintendo Prime podcast This means you get a full day early access to the full audio version of the podcast plus all previous Rewards including the discord stuff.

This is a chance for you guys to get your product in front of some people Um without having a lot of hassle having to finagle and make the back room deals Uh, this guarantees that obviously restrictions apply. I'm not looking to there's certain products We're not going to be willing to work with Or if you have like a a troll kind of name That has any sort of sexual innuendo or anything. Uh, we're obviously not going to mention that name And that's true for any patron backer who if you kind of have a a username or You're trying to make us uh Say something inappropriate that's not going to happen But yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know about the update to our patreon. I'm so happy we hit our goal I had no idea when I started this patreon Late last year if we would ever get to our goal and I want to give a huge thank you to all 16 Of the current patreon backers at the time that I am recording this you guys have made this possible I can't wait to get our 320 backers on a podcast this month Uh, I can't wait to start really making this podcast a lot more professional And having more people on and uh having a better schedule to it If people don't know the podcast is generally a fly by our seed of our pants ideal But I want to start adding some more structure to it. Um, you know making things like this Topic lists with highlights and stuff made into it and hand it out or or emailed to each person who's on the podcast So everyone knows what's going on. They know the flow of the podcast. They know what topics we want to hit And they have time to prepare if they want to do some research They want to watch some trailers. Uh, they want to make sure they saw the latest nintendo direct or whatever the case may be Uh, yeah, well because right now flying by our seed of our pants works for me personally Uh, it doesn't always work for all the guests. So or even for eric So, yeah, thanks for for tuna nintendo nintendo prime. I really really love all of you guys Thank you so much for your support. If you're unable to support us on patreon, that's okay This there's a no pressure to do it all of our content except, uh, you know Like the behind the scenes stuff is and in the exclusive patreon stream Is going to be available publicly for everyone one last thing I want to mention Uh, because we've had a lot of requests for this There's a lot of people who want us to put our live streams public after we make them That's not going to happen because for some reason I can't quite figure out Why when we send our live streams public, uh, it actually hurts the viewership of all of our other videos I don't know why that is. Uh, google would have to explain why their algorithm Apparently hides some of our recent videos once we release a live stream publicly So instead what I'm going to do is I'm going to take all those live streams They're going to be private and I'm going to share them directly with all of our patreon backers So not only do all patreon backers one dollar and up I get the ability to ask questions for the q and a they also gain the ability to Access the backlog of all of our live streams on patreon Also with this for our current patreon backers, uh, there's going to be more frequent updates daily updates to it I'm going to make sure all of our videos get posted directly to patreon as well Again though, if you can't support us through patreon You know just liking subscribing sharing with your friends. Uh, that could be just as supportive at times But obviously, uh, these are direct, uh rewards for people who wish to support us with their money We all need money to survive, right? anyways, folks I'm the tanner alpha dance from the tanner prime and if you like this video Like it if you dislike it, that's all right as well. If you can't help us. That's cool. I understand Uh, we're still going to be live streaming. Uh, this is actually had been announced on twitch But we're going to have three live streams of monday wednesday and friday in terms of game live streams And then saturday and sunday is still 5j weekend 5j will come back eventually and be streaming on saturdays and sundays So yeah, we're gonna have five live streams for you and we're going to be bringing those to youtube and twitch at the same time So, yeah, I hope you guys enjoy your days.
