 Hey everyone, welcome back to prime news a special Wednesday edition That's right We're not gonna have prime news Monday through Friday releasing at 5 p.m. CT Although this episode is going to come later because it's not even being recorded till closer to 5 p.m. CT Just because there has been a lot of logistics to get set up to make prime news back into a daily show as a daily show We know we'll be covering content from tech will be covering content from Sony from Microsoft and PC if there's interesting stuff going on In the mobile space, that's right We're expanding beyond just Nintendo for these daily episodes We also will be covering more than just Nintendo in general at the channel. Don't worry. Nintendo's not forgotten stuff. The Nintendo Prime podcast We still have I'm a lot of Nintendo focused content in the works editorials and all that stuff Don't worry. My love of Nintendo hasn't gone anywhere. Hello Legend of Zelda hat, but we do have a lot to talk about today So let's just get into the stories before this episode drags on way longer than I want it to be Initial recording was over 45 minutes So for sort of the ideals with fortnight there was an update released for fortnight this week And it turns out that update changes how the player pools work in the game for those who don't know Fortnight has full cross-play ability across all platforms But they changed how the player pools work when you are just playing by yourself So if you are on Nintendo switch or mobile devices, you will be playing together those player pools have been combined That means switch is being taken out of the player pool It was in with PlayStation 4 and Xbox that means PlayStation 4 and Xbox are now grouped together and mobile and switch are grouped together So that's an interesting change It does give switch users a massive advantage over mobile users because touch controls versus controllers You can use controls or mobile devices some mobile devices do run a 60 fps blah blah blah Epic's explanation is basically that they feel like this makes a more even playing ground for switch owners because Nintendo switch owners have been disadvantaged playing against Xbox and PlayStation people because well they have higher frame rates Which is leading to them able to fire weapons more rapidly which is leading to them having an advantage in head-to-head matchups So yeah, they just tried to make things more balanced and now mobile users are getting kind of screwed But whatever you can still partner up with people on PlayStation 4 and Xbox and PC for that matter And end up in those player pools if you're doing groups But if you're playing by yourself, you're going to be you know in those respective player pools So Xbox and PlayStation together switch and mobile together PC on its own the media create sales are in for this past week in Japan So let's just jump right into those numbers because it's very interesting So the first numbers we have were for Devil May Cry 5 who chimed into the number one spot on the software charts for the PlayStation 4 with 116,202 units then that was followed up by Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Super Mario Bros. Used deluxe Mario Kart 8 deluxe and Pokemon. Let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee Kirby's extra epic yarn Which also debuted on 3ds last week chimes in at the number six spot moving 10,607 units now when we get to the hardware Nintendo switch has moved 69,766 units and is the number one selling hardware for God knows What is it like 60 weeks in a row? It's been a hell of a long time and that's way ahead of last year's pace as well PlayStation 4 also saw a massive increase this week It is at the number two spot and it moved 32,362 units that in last week. They only moved 19,000 So that is a 13,000 unit increase for PlayStation 4 3ds was bringing up the rear there with five thousand Vita was behind it with three and nobody really cares about Xbox because it just doesn't sell in Japan So that's some really interesting data and yeah, I mean switches still killing it PlayStation still killing it Switch is about 300,000 or so away from passing PlayStation 4 Next up after that. I guess we'll be passing 3ds. So this story is a weird one It's weird not that it happened but weird in what I'm going to say about it. So ninja Levin's he is the creator with 13 million, you know followers on Twitch 22 million or so on YouTube Another you know 10 million or so on Twitter. He is the massive fortnight youtuber that blew up over the last couple years He's been doing professional gaming for a long time Used to be like a professional Halo player all this stuff He's actually really really good at the games. He plays as I said, he was a professional Gamer like he played in tournaments and all that. Well, he was paid According to Reuters a place that is pretty accurate when it comes to this kind of information up to a one million dollars to stream apex legends on Launch day by EA and not only that to also advertise the game on his Twitter now personally I don't have any issue with this a lot of content creators take sponsorships I did it for fairy fencer F actually and I still haven't been paid for it I should really get a hold of them about that So I've done a sponsored stream before so I don't have an issue with sponsored streams being a thing that happens But I do have an issue that it he didn't disclose it very well He talked about it a couple times during the stream that this was brought to you by EA But it really wasn't blatantly obvious like if you just come by the stream for a few minutes You might have no idea that he's played apex legends not because he wants to play apex legends But because EA paid him to play it you might not know in his Twitter post that EA paid for those Twitter posts So to me I'm not mad at Ninja about this I just think this is something we as content creators need to do better in general is like a moral standard We need to set that moral standard forget legalities. We need to set moral standards to disclose when we are being sponsored As for the amount of money ninja got paid I mean he's one of those popular streamers in the world He's talked about in the past how he makes you know like on a bad month 500k on good months much more than 500k from his streams So he's not exactly hurting for money and a million dollars is nice EA you want me to stream apex legends in my contract negotiations I might include bringing apex legends to switch because apex legit should be a switch I've had you know what EA you don't have to pay me. Just tell me via contract That you're gonna put apex legends on switch Then I'll just stream your game to stream it reddit user squid 50 s has put together a Lego Nintendo switch game case It's actually really really neat. He included some instructions It's very detailed especially when you open it up And it's got like the the green and black scheme going on on the inside where you put the actual cars I actually supposed to mimic the inside of a Nintendo switch when you open it up Which I have done before and it does look that way So it's kind of neat kind of interesting if you would like to make it yourself I'll put a link to the instructions and the reddit thread down in the description Just a really cool thing that happened in the Nintendo community today So according to some market analysts Nintendo's board is in high-level discussions to purchase take-to-interactive take-to-interactive is a publicly traded company that Obviously Sony would have to buy a massive majority share in and yeah Then they would own one of the top third-party companies in the world that includes companies like 2k or studios I should say like 2k and well We all know rock stars in that mix right Red Dead Redemption 2. They're not the models of the world L.A. Noir This would make a massive industry shift Where essentially Sony would be buying out one of the studios one of the main companies that make some of the best games in This industry. I mean the WWE franchise is under that banner as well. There's so many Franchises under that banner that it's hard for me to even wrap my mind around the fact that it could become console exclusive as a gamer I don't like this news if it is true again. This is rumor speculation right now But if this is true, I don't like this for the whole of gaming because it Your means are taken away a major third-party developer and making it you have to buy a PlayStation to get their games For if you're a PlayStation fan, you probably love this news, you know I kept thinking about this as a Nintendo guy what if Nintendo bought them out right like what would I think then and My thought process might be exactly the same like it's cool We're gonna have these games exclusively But I'd rather they not be exclusive like MLB the show as an example is amazing on PlayStation But I hate that it's exclusive because there's no good baseball game anywhere else and no That's not on them to provide that but it's still it's it's baffling to me that like I if you want a good baseball game You have to buy a PlayStation so Honestly, I don't like this news if it's true, but it's a thing that happened today and We'll probably wait in a long time before anything would ever become official or finalized in a deal like this So this next story I have to read off the page because the title is so long So dragon quest 11 s echoes of an elusive age definitive edition Like to say that 10 times fast There's new details that have come out about the game in terms of the exclusive features to switch And we're just gonna dive into that including some new screenshots So here's a look at the screenshots as we talk about it The 3d or 2d visuals that talked about in the past the two different perspectives you can have of this game can be changed at any time There are there is orchestral music for only some of the tracks, but you can turn it off entirely Party members are going to travel by your side, which wasn't there in the original game Party members are fully voice acted during cutscenes dialogue scenes and battle scenes But you can turn it off if you don't like it Additional stories which they mentioned before for the each party member is is there, but you play as the protagonist With those party members so each of your individual party members become the main character in those stories Now I do think that's actually a really interesting thing. I think that's great for dragon quest fans It's unfortunate. This isn't coming to everyone else who bought dragon quest is kind of a slight to them But I mean selfishly as a switch owner. I think it's cool again This is kind of like the last story where I kind of wish everyone just got this but hey You know what? I mean we did have to wait an extra year or so to get this game as switch owners, so Cool a bunch of new Yoshi's crafter world videos have emerged including four on a YouTube channel that I'm not really sure if they Are supposed to be releasing videos or not and then there's an IGN first. That's right. IGN first is a series They do You know every month where they get they go inside having first reveals for specific video games I haven't really done one for Nintendo games that much and now they're doing it for Yoshi this month And it's really interesting to see some new stages all of this stuff is early stuff So I don't consider it to be spoiled. I mean even even like the first boss is showing up I don't consider this stuff to be spoiler for a Yoshi game It's just interesting to see some of the early stages and I think it's just cool. I like it I like this a lot. I like that Yoshi's getting this kind of coverage Now I know some of you are probably still on the fence about it because of the resolution and all I could say about that is Resolution is a davery thing. I know Labo VR is being blasted for the same thing. So I mean can we wait till we have the games in our hand? I mean you can go play the Yoshi demo. I guess for yourself Decide if the resolution is too bad for you there. I don't know. It's 60 FPS. That matters to me more than resolution. I Don't know. Why do I feel like I got to defend this game? I just I could see the hate coming for this game when it comes out I could just see it. Fallout 76 has gotten a content update Wild Appalachia Which was a planned content update and they have several more planned content updates Unfortunately, this doesn't make Fallout 76 a game worth playing in fact Despite the fact that prices have tanked everywhere and you can get it for a few bucks Don't get it for a few bucks. Just download Fallout Shelter. It's available on your mobile devices Your Nintendo Switch is your Xbox is your PlayStation. It's everywhere. Fallout Shelter is a better game Can't believe I'm saying that in 2019 But yes, a mobile follow games better than Fallout 76 This next story is interesting because the source on it is ESPN ESPN has unveiled that Call of Duty Activision and Call of Duty are trying to get proper eSports League running and they're gonna be charging 25 million dollars per franchise For those who don't understand what a franchise is a franchise is basically a team Okay, so in the sporting world like the Green Bay Packers are a franchise in the NFL The Milwaukee Bucks are a franchise in the NBA, etc, etc, etc You know the Milwaukee Brewers they're a franchise in the Major League Baseball So that's the way that it's being detailed out is 25 million dollars to become Part of the official Call of Duty League There's also apparently talks for an official Overwatch League although pricey now what franchising might cause for that is unknown at this time Obviously, there's a lot of serious Call of Duty teams considering becoming like a franchise team for their particular city I'm not really sure how all these details are going to flesh out how they're gonna come up with the money you assume that's gonna be through a series of sponsorships and Yeah, I think it's just interesting to see eSports taken as seriously Not quite as seriously, but coming up to the level of regular sports coverage I think it's cool to see ESPN cover that I think that this is the bigger news than the official Teams and franchising starting to be talked about. I think it's interesting that ESPN is covering this It shows you the deep respect and the attention that eSports is starting to warrant So this is good news. I guess for coverage. Don't know if it's good news for Call of Duty players that are on teams But I mean who knows usually once you franchise and have an official league players are paid And there are prizes and all that stuff. So who knows? I guess this is just one step further to legitimizing eSports Our final story of the day deals with the Xbox one and the Xbox one X and the Xbox one S That is because Xbox one can officially stream games from PC through the wireless display app There was an update release for today and it's actually like a remote desktop situation So you could do other things in your PC You need to do PowerPoint presentations and all that stuff if you would like to use your Xbox for that in a more professional manner You won't be able you may have to watch videos on like YouTube and stuff But you won't be able to watch videos from Netflix and services like that because those are copyright protected You need to use the perspective applications for that not remote desktop into it But still I think this is the really really interesting thing and it also kind of makes the rainway app Which has been an Xbox for a while irrelevant because rainway was a way to stream games to the Xbox now rainway might still be relevant If it does the game streaming better But I highly doubt that it's going to do it better than the company who owns the the OS that you're using on PC and the OS that you're using on Xbox one which is Windows 10 I think that's going to communicate better over your home network than anything else So or your work network or wherever you happen to be so I think this is really really good news I makes a lot of sense for Microsoft and makes the Xbox more of a platform That's basically for everything and also marries the two platforms closer together And it is nice for me to know that now when I sit on my 4k TV. I can play my PC games on there I think that's really cool In fact, I might try to see if I can get world of Warcraft to work I will the Warcraft mapping it to buttons on a controller usually isn't very good Maybe I could just hook up a mouse and keyboard and still play it that way on my Xbox But I think it's kind of cool Imagining that I could take all my PC games and I'll play them on my 4k TV without needing to hook up a gaming Multimedia PC. I just think that's brilliant. I'm glad that this exists and it makes me happy So maybe don't make you happy too. Maybe you just don't care. I don't know. I think it's cool. So That being said I am Nathan Roblijens from Nintendo Prime I want to thank you for tuning into this new episode of prime news lots of changes lots of things going on Sorry that this didn't land at the intended time, but again, this was day one of the changeover There's a lot of things getting pushed back because of it But hey, it's here. It's here now enjoy it and you know what? I'm just gonna catch every single one of you guys in the next video
