 So, from last Friday through this Friday, a one week period in time, I honestly think this might be one of the most exciting weeks for Nintendo Switch, maybe since launch of the Switch back in 2017. Now, I understand if there are individual game launches that matter more to you than any of the games I'm about to talk about, obviously Breath of the Wild at launch was something special for me, other people, maybe it was Mario Odyssey or Smash Bros or Splatoon or Arms or something like that. Obviously on an individual game level, I'm not here to tell you that the three games I'm about to talk about should matter to you more than any individual one game. But I think this collection of games, releasing in a one week span here in the middle of July or really the end of July 2019 is significant and shows just how far the Switch has come. Because if you guys remember, Nintendo has been having issues with consistently releasing high quality games for quite some time, pre-dating Switch, Wii U had lots of droughts, 3DS had some droughts early in its life and we obviously know that we had droughts towards the end of its life cycle and I mean come on, the droughts have just been going on seemingly forever. And even Switch in 2018 seemed to go through a period of droughts. Now we're not talking about a period of oh my gosh, there's absolutely no games coming out but the AAA variety, whether it was third party, whether it was Nintendo, there seemed to be huge gaps in 2018 and even the beginning of this year, let's just be honest, yeah we got Nintendo, Labo VR, yeah we got Yoshi, but neither one of those felt like a AAA type of experience, did it? I mean maybe Yoshi's Craft of World could be argued it is a AAA game, it's just a different type and I certainly bought it and really enjoyed it but that doesn't, if that's one game in six months that's not doing very well, granted you say six months, technically Mario Maker 2 came out at the very end of June so that would be part of the mix but still two games, you know, even if three, it just feels off in comparison to other platforms but here we are this entire week period from last Friday through this upcoming Friday and I can't help but feel great about where Switch is at. Last Friday, obviously we're talking about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, it is currently the number one selling game on the Nintendo Switch eShop, it is also the number one selling game on Amazon in the United States and it is just an interesting watching that game continue to hold its spots since Friday and I'm sure it was helped thanks to Marvel's thing at Comic Con and announcing, you know, all these future movies in the cinematic universe and all that exciting news coming out about Marvel probably is helping the sales of a brand new Marvel, you know, collection of character game right now, especially one that is, by all respects, a pretty good game. It might not be, you know, game of the year material but it's pretty good, it's a solid entry and it's sales, at least according to Benji sales and we reported on this in Prime News this morning, are doing very well. Now I currently don't own it, I do plan to purchase it in the future but I have gone hands-on with it at E3 and I was really impressed by Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. It is a game that shocked me at how much I really enjoyed the experience so when I finally do purchase it I know I have one hell of a game to dive into, especially playing with friends like Eric. Now that's just one game and it's an important game and it's gonna be interesting to see if it continues to sell really really well as it's currently the third best selling game in the US or something on Switch this year. But guys, we all know Fire Emblems coming right? You know, in a one-week family of Fire Emblem and you might think, well okay, yeah, Fire Emblems a big deal. I mean there's no doubt here, Fire Emblem is a huge deal, it's a top seller on 3DS, you know, you're talking four or five million sales, possibility here maybe even higher, who knows, who really knows that the ceiling is for Fire Emblem three houses and it's a game I am incredibly excited for and trying my best to avoid spoilers with the game now being leaked and I think Nintendo is maybe releasing a little bit too much information about the game. Then again, I say that this game has multiple endings, decisions that make differences along the way, characters dying or not dying or whatever, like in a traditional Fire Emblem and in the end I say it's going to be, you know, that they're giving us too much information but I think Nintendo is really just scratching the surface and they know what they're doing. But obviously the leak is leading to a lot of information out there and Fire Emblem is a big deal. It's going to be a huge seller. I don't know if it's going to be a bigger seller than Mario Maker 2 but it's going to be a big deal and there's no doubt there and you can actually pick out other times throughout this year where there is arguably just as good of a one-two punch. I'll give you an example here. There's Daemon X Makina and then the Legend of the Link's Awakening. Okay, okay, maybe that's not good enough for you. Well how about this? Link's Awakening followed up by Dragon Quest 11S a week later. It's a pretty good one-two punch there is it not? How about this one? Pokemon Sword and Shield and Mario and Sonic at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Those are going to be one week apart as well. Now granted obviously Sword and Shield is carrying the brunt of the excitement there but hey some people really love those Mario and Sonic games. But see what actually makes this week special isn't just a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Fire Emblem 3 houses both with 3 in the title I just realized might be some people's most anticipated games of this year. Of course it's all personal preference. That's not it. Wolfenstein Youngblood comes out this Friday. Not sure you have been paying much attention to that. Maybe because it's digital only and I can understand that that might frustrate some people but Wolfenstein Youngblood is a $40 AAA experience that's kind of like a standalone expansion like New Super Luigi U. A standalone expansion for Wolfenstein the New Colossus which was utterly fantastic on Switch last year. I came out on other platforms a year before and Wolfenstein Youngblood's coming day and date with all the versions and I did play Wolfenstein Youngblood at E3 and I came away highly impressed although I noted that all of the gameplay took place in a level that was only you know enclosed off corridors not out in the open world where Wolfenstein New Colossus tend to have its worst performance issues that conveniently didn't show us that area on Switch. But either way we have you know panic button you know working miracles apparently to get Wolfenstein Youngblood on Switch and that launches this Friday to me that's a big deal that's a three game slate unlike any other time this year and if that's not enough for you Killa Kill comes out this Friday this Friday alone is jam-packed with three major releases and then you go back one week and you get Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and in a seven-day period you are jam-packed with four major titles that all hit on extremely different genres right like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is more of a beat-em-up game it's more of a beat-em-up hack and slash kind of game right fire among three houses tactical strategy RPG like that's a mouthful right there tactical strategy RPG Wolfenstein Youngblood first-person shooter like single-player focused I think more co-op focused first-person shooter and then Killa Kill granted I don't know a ton about Killa Kill so probably not the best person to talk about it I know it's like a rated M game I believe but I mean at least it's being categorized as an action fighting multiplayer game I get four very different games four major titles coming out within a week of each other three of them on the same day I can't remember a time like this in Nintendo history and I'm sure someone will what will dig up and find a maybe I don't know maybe a system launch or something that was like this but this to me is crazy there is I'd argue almost something for everyone in terms of if you like more than one genre of gaming they came out you know from last Friday through the through the upcoming Friday it's an incredible time to be a switch owner I think is the general takeaway from that lineup and like we're just getting started like this is really you start with Super Mario Maker 2 and from there on forward I mean we are just gonna be getting slammed with games you know next month is incredible astral chain anybody that game is getting previews out today and looks absolutely downright nasty in terms of how amazing that game is going to be now you might talk about well the rest of August doesn't look that great yeah I guess I think there's like Friday the 13th or something coming out is like a quote-unquote major title but you know that's like a port ultimate addition type of thing you can maybe maybe you're excited for the Bubsy game that comes out the day before astral chain or maybe Yu-Gi-Oh! maybe Yu-Gi-Oh! is your type of thing but yeah August is a little bit light but doesn't it have to be after this week with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Kill Like Kill and Wolfenstein Youngblood you don't paint anything else the rest of August until Astral Chain you've got there's no way in hell you're gonna be done with those four games like in the next week if you bought all four of those games there's no way in hell I mean even if it's just my Fire Emblem say you're only interested in Fire Emblem you're not gonna be you're gonna need the month of August just to beat the game so it's like Nintendo strategically said hey look after those four major titles gamers need a break they need a break think about that that's all that's like 200 and what 20 oh I'm seeing well yeah 220 dollars assuming you didn't buy the expansion passes as well 220 dollars 360 dollar games 140 dollar game 220 dollars spent in just a week if you bought all four of those games that's crazy of course there's nothing coming out really at August of import until Astral Chain so just when you're starting to get ready for a new game Astral Chain lands in your lap and then you get to it's September and September September's just filthy just filthy with three major titles first off you have the standalone physical version of Tetris 99 can't forget about that that comes at the very beginning you might not care about that cuz it's free but hey you know what it's kind of cool but Damon X Makina right that game is looking a lot better a lot better and then you look forward to a week from that that was on the 13th to the 20th and you end up with Link's Awakening you have the Contra dropping four days after that Dragon Quest 11 on the 27th are you kidding me that's three major titles and then they give you a break again right you get those three huge titles and it's like okay cool what do we play in October well the Witches Mansion 3 how about that and they give you a two-week break after that nail you a Pokemon Sword and Shield you know give you about a week hit you with with Mario and Sonic of the Atheism of Games and then finally you get kind of that holiday respite right there's still gonna be other games coming out two weeks here you know run factory 4 specials coming out somewhere in there untitled Goose game hope you can the Kentucky Road zero pandemic King of Hat there's gonna be a Catan universe Killer Queen Black there's gonna be a bunch of indie games filling in any of the gaps that potentially exist out there if that is something you guys are interested in partaking I mean Rad is supposed to come out at some point Blood Roots I mean the list goes on and on and on if you're looking at Pine 2S and all that's supposed to come on next month I think there's just a lot of amazing indie games to and we're not even getting into all of them because there's just so many amazing triple-a games not granted you're not hearing Call of Duty right you're not hearing about Modern Morpher coming over or or Destranium which is PlayStation exclusive and I get it there's gonna be games years of life years of War 5 like games to play on other platforms as well that they should be excited about but I'm not hearing lineups like this just in this week there's almost more exclusive games coming up for Switch than there is for Xbox the rest of the year and that might be a bit of hyperbolic so I can't remember if there's anything actually coming after Gears of War 5 this year but man man oh man oh man and heck if you own those other platforms all the time young blood comes up reminder hello pick it up I'm just incredibly excited about Switch moving forward for us and I think that's really the reason this video exists is not just a gush about the three games that come out this week but just the whole year a whole rest of this year anyway Switch is just killing it we spend a lot of times talking about issues with Switch and Joy-Con drift and you know the Pokemon Sword and Shield and Game Freak people potentially lying about remaking models and I felt like we've been a really negative I guess lately so I wanted to make a video about the things that matter the most and that's the games right yeah switch lights exciting yeah the new model of switches exciting and we can keep speculated on a potential switch pro or we could keep doing this or we can keep doing that but ultimately none of it matters without the games and I think there's one thing we can say the rest of 2019 we are getting the games and this week we get three major games on one day counting more ultimate alliance last week that's four in a week guys now's the time if you don't own a switch now's the time now maybe you don't want to buy it now maybe you want to wait for the switchlight you know launch it on the 20th in a couple months I hear you fine wait for that that version maybe you want to wait for the revision the revised switch next year so you get that extended battery life I hear you it's fine you know wait you know you can wait but when you pick up that switch not only are you gonna have an incredible back catalog from 2017 and 2018 you are going to have an amazing new games coming out right now it is it's such a great time to be a switch owner it really is setting aside any any drift issues you have or screen scratching or warping or whatever the heck issues and you may or may not be dealing with guys this is what we've been waiting for we have been waiting for a week like this we've been waiting for a you know a six-month period like this where we're just getting the goods this is the dream like realized of all of Nintendo's games being on a single platform this is what we were hoping life would be like as a switch owner way back when it was announced as you know a hybrid I know Nintendo's never called it a hybrid it's always been a home console but let's just be honest this is what we've been waiting for is it not what I've been waiting for I've been waiting for the fruits of the concept of everything being on one platform now we're getting it fire emblem hasn't been coming home consoles for a while this would be a 3ds game but we're getting it our ultimate alliance used to be in other platforms Nintendo bought it and put it on put it on switch you know where it would kill the kill something we might not even imagine becoming in the platform it's here well the sign young blood something that not even like a dream of that coming to Wii U here it is why because of switch Pokemon Sword and Shield coming because a switch Pokemon Sword and Shields on the same damn system as Breath of the Wild and super freaking Mario Odyssey you've got to be kidding me guys this is what we've been waiting for so I'm pumped I'm excited there's so many amazing games coming I wish I had a budget of thousands to buy everything get all the collector's editions and expansion packs and I mean we didn't even get to the Smash DLC I mean you know Banjo-Kazooie is coming this year right Banjo-Kazooie is being added a smash something I've been waiting for since the end 64 days is happening like guys I may possibly have never been more excited for a period of time than I am right now for for video gaming on a Nintendo platform so thank
