 Hey everyone welcome back to another episode of Prime News and before we get into the news today I want to remind you to enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate giveaway bundle through the Glean.i link down in the description. It is that collector's edition model that released last November and when we hit 50,000 subscribers we will be announcing the winner of that giveaway. Our first story today is about the Reginator himself Reggie Fizeme. Yes folks today is April 15th which means it is the final day that Reggie Fizeme can call himself the President and CEO or COO of Nintendo of America. He is busy packing up his office today as we discovered because he launched a Twitter account. Yes folks now that he's entering retirement he has time for social media but he didn't have time to get his mother three. Okay all jokes aside his Twitter account has already been interesting he started off by just talking about you know he's got the Twitter at Reggie it is a verified account so we do know this is legitimately Reggie then there's another tweet from him showing off how he's just sitting in his office as he's packing things up and then the tweet that really got me was he had his whole arm full of badges that he had from various media events over the year and he was showing off his E3 2004 badge which is when us fans out there got introduced to Reggie Fizeme if you guys remember those infamous lines that he said so yeah I honestly it's kind of a sad day it's the end of an era I do welcome Doug Bowser who has had a Twitter handle for quite some time as the true Bowser or whatever I'll put a link that down in the description as well and I wish Doug Bowser luck in his position obviously the jokes about Bowser having been going on for months so I'm not going to make any of those here but today is about saying farewell to the Reginator so sir I salute you our second story is actually dealing with the fact that a lot of people especially on Reddit seem to be under the impression that Labo VR I don't know why I'm air quoting that that's what it's called it's called the Labo VR Toycom 4 kit uh is sold out at local retailers um this is probably true in very specific instances but I don't think people should look at this as Labo VR is selling like hotcakes so in my local area again this just applies to my one town in Wisconsin however they did say that this is more of a company-wide thing I talked to the store manager at Best Buy the store manager at Walmart the store manager at GameStop and the store manager at Target and all of them besides GameStop said that they ordered zero Nintendo Labo VR kits the starter edition or the big $80 pack the reason because they still have so many of the old Labo kits that they're selling at discounted prices that they still are unable to move so basically they have zero faith they'd be even able to sell Nintendo Labo VR and they said that this wasn't just a decision that they made for their individual store that this is actually an email that came down from corporate telling them what the store is not to order Labo VR so yes uh Labo VR is not in stock because most stores aren't carrying stock of it now this doesn't mean you can't buy Labo VR of course it is still available on all of these major retailers official websites available on Amazon and all of that and none of the online stores are actually sold out and that should have been people's first warning sign that Labo VR isn't necessarily selling well because if Labo VR was selling well and was sold out at local retailers usually that also coincides with some online retailers if not all of them also being sold out but no online retailers are sold out and thus Nintendo Labo is not actually selling out there just isn't that many to buy because nobody has faith that it's going to sell that being said my local GameStop did order exactly two Nintendo Labo Starter kits one of them specifically because they figured I would come in I actually know the manager he figured I would come in and buy one because well I buy every new Nintendo game so he just was kind of banking on me getting one then he figured he'd have one extra just in case somebody else did decide to buy one and uh well he still has that one extra one as of today so uh no one's really even asked about it in fact I was the only person to even ask about Labo VR he said since it launched so needless to say there doesn't seem to be a ton of interest in Labo VR at least at the retailer level however we obviously know that Labo VR did shoot up to number one on Amazon sales there for a little bit it has since dropped off so again I think Labo VR is really really cool and I'm enjoying my Labo VR kit but I think we need to kind of pump the brakes I'm thinking that this is like some big smashing success at the moment Mario Tennis Aces 3.0.0 update has released today and finally we get some new content in Mario Tennis Aces and that isn't just adding new characters in fact they added an entirely new mode called ring shot mode and obviously the idea is there are rings now on the tennis score and you want to get your ball to go through as many of those rings while you're facing off you get someone to score as many points as you can the smaller the ring the different color rings all equal up to different points getting multiple rings at the same time if you add up to multipliers all this stuff it looks really really cool it is something we've kind of had before in what was called the Yoshi ring shot mode in a prior game and that mode is back as well which deals with the different color yoshis and a bunch of multipliers with that so again it's basically the same one but just with yoshis and multipliers based on the different types of yoshis so that's really really cool as well and well they did a really weird thing something I don't think anyone was asking for they changed like completely changed out the opening cutscene in adventure mode they basically got rid of the old one and added an entirely brand new one in very interesting that they did that I'm not sure what the reasoning was to replace the original cutscene I think they should just be focused on adding more content to adventure mode but uh hey whatever they changed the opening cutscene if you don't want to go back and replay it to see it it's all over youtube if you're interested in checking it out I do think it looks really cool and I guess you might say objectively it's better than the last one but I mean it honestly doesn't make that big of a difference to me and our last story today on this short and sweet prime news is about respawn entertainment essentially they have publicly acknowledged the demand for apex legends to come to the nintendo switch they said they have nothing to announce at this time and if they did have something to announce they would be the first people to be shouting from the mountaintops that apex legends is coming to switch uh but they're basically saying we hear the demand but we don't want to make any promises essentially hey look we might bring it to switch we don't know so there you go um not really much to go on I know it's kind of a a one-off story but apex legends is still kind of a big deal out there and would be a bigger deal on switch in my opinion to add some much needed variety to games like fortnite which is the only other battle royale style free to play game we have on switch so I think it would actually do very well on switch to have an alternative to that but you know what uh apex legends right now is not currently or at least not being announced as being in the works for switch so I will just have to wait and see I do know about a few other games that might be coming to switch but uh talk about that in another video because I maybe have some insider information I mean I trust the sources I'm talking to it's just a question of how much I'm actually able to talk about whatever you guys tune in for that video later tonight anyways i'm nintendo vjuts from nintendo prime I want to thank you so much for tuning into prime news remember to enter our giveaway through the gleam.io link down in the
