 Hey everyone and welcome to Prime comments episode one This is a show. I'm gonna attempt to make weekly My goal is to hit on every Sunday where I look back at the previous week through the videos I created I Recomment on some of the topics that I brought up and I look at your comments pick out at least one comment from each video and Respond to it. I always say here at Nintendo Prime that it's all about the discussion It's all about the opinions not just mine also yours This is a chance for you to get heard and for me to respond and continue that conversation so back There was a bunch of videos this past week and we're gonna start with the liquidator video Which is the one where I talked about how there is a person that has or a company that has hundreds If not thousands of NES classics and Nintendo switches and a warehouse They're a liquidator firm and they might have been selling these off the GameStop and Amazon Which is why you've seen NES classics suddenly available for limited stocks here in July months after the fact and Nintendo I had this to say about it. I said this does suck, but I really don't see the problem We just need to not buy them and leave the scalpers with a ton of crap. They can't sell It's our fault. Just get the games on the e-shop dudes and to that I say I Couldn't disagree anymore to be honest It's never our fault that scalpers exist. I mean yes people buy scalp products because they're not available Nintendo is really more so at fault than anybody else because they didn't make enough NES classics to meet demand The fact that demand is still this high for a product that's no longer being made let's you know that Nintendo really undershot expectations and It's actually turned some people off from the SNES classic edition. So None of this is our fault that scalpers exist. It's just right now Outside of these special deals apparently where the NES classic is suddenly available You're only gonna pick it up from scalping scalping is 100% legal in the United States We are more than able and more than welcome to resell products that we buy and own and I'm not actually against that I believe in that, you know in that type of capitalism, but at the end of the day I It's not our fault and as for getting these games in the e-shop some of them you can get some of them you can't and None of them can you get on the Nintendo switch? So I don't really view that as a You know an argument here in 2017 Anyways, let's move on to the next video the next video we're talking about is the amiibo DLC video where I kind of went Off in a rant talking about how I do not think DLC is appropriate to be locked behind amiibo Basically, this was spurned off by the fact that Metroid Samus Returns has the hardest difficulty mode in the game Locked behind the squishy Metroid amiibo, which is currently sold out So Philly man responded to this by saying I'd prefer a physical item to use on multiple games Rather than a digital code locked to one game any day. And so that I say it's understandable I think any of us would like to purchase one thing and have DLC unlocked for multiple games But the problem with this is that that's not what Nintendo is really doing You might have small things locked behind it Like the fact if you bought the super smash bros link amiibo and you used it in Breath of the Wild You would unlock Ipona and that's all fine and dandy I I don't I don't necessarily have anything inherently wrong with the concept of something you bought years ago Still being useful today But too many times Nintendo is locking the very best content behind the new amiibo that are hard to get a hold of And even now that link smash amiibo isn't exactly easy to get a hold of for some people either And there was you know a time not too long ago when that was the number one selling amiibo in the entire world So I look at it as if that content is locked behind an amiibo that people can't get a hold of What's better for people to be able to get a hold of the content they want to play Or for people to have to buy a physical item that might not be in stock and they might have to purchase from scalper to get And I know you can go on ebay right now and get You know cards made by fans that are have nfc chips in them and allow you to scan and reprogram them for different amiibo And the fact that that solution even has to exist kind of elevates the issue I see here where content just shouldn't be solely locked behind amiibo You want you want to let that squishy metroid amiibo unlock the most difficult mode in metroid That's a metroid return return of samus. That is fine But it should also be unlockable in the game And if not unlockable in the game naturally like it was in the original Then you should let people spend a couple bucks digitally and get that difficulty Uh the fact that there are people day one that aren't going to be able to play the difficulty mode because they can't get their hands on the amiibo That's my exact issue with locking amiibo behind dlc. So Yeah, I'd like that. They're useful over time, but that shouldn't be the only way That you can get that content returning to another video from this past week with the snes classic pre-order video Which essentially talked about the fact that the snes classic is going to be available for pre-order later this month officially announced by nintendo on twitter And bloody underscore fatality responded to this by saying I want an n64 classic edition next year any tips for me Um or starters, they have to announce that we don't know that there's going to be an n64 classic edition next year Although what helps your case is that nintendo did refile the patent for the n64 controller Which if you you know, you could think about you know, a logical progression. They had the nes classic last year the snes classic This year next year could be the n64 classic followed up by the gamecube classic and maybe even a wee classic and At some point I think they're going to release a gameboy classic as well And maybe a gameboy advanced classic and even a ds classic if you can believe it I think these are all things that nintendo is just going to do over the next 10 to 20 years Any tips for getting it are the same tips I would say for in snes classic You just have to really Hawkeye your favorite retailers Uh and personally, I don't prefer things that you know are probably going to sell out through pre-orders Pre-ordering online because every single outlet that you could pre-order from online has had issues In the past with maintaining pre-orders and having to cancel pre-orders Uh, I always prefer to do in person in stores. So my suggestion is As soon as you know when they're going to be available for pre-order go wait outside the morning before the store that you would like to Get it from opens walk inside and put a physical pre-order in person That is what I have done with every product that I wanted to get day one and it's worked I was able to get the special edition of breath of the wild I was able to get the nintendo switch day one all because I went in person the day that pre-orders were going to be available now I will note. I wasn't able to get the master Edition of breath of the wild with the statue because they didn't make those available for pre-orders in stores I I don't understand why but that's more of an anomaly. That's usually not the case It's very rare for the online exclusive pre-orders like that Uh, but yeah, I mean if it's an online exclusive pre-order You just kind of got to get lucky, but uh, yeah, that's that's how I do it So hopefully that helps you out if and when the n64 classic condition happens return to do with the switch battery situation Uh video one thing I want to note before I get into this comment here Uh, is that There are times that when I report on something the information I'm working with on this report may not be correct And in this case, I was talking about the battery bug that's happening On switch where the battery will literally discharge at least in the software from 100% to 0% Really rapidly sometimes in five minutes sometimes a half hour sometimes an hour But yet the system would still work for hours on end and Nintendo's suggested fix included updating the os and then running a bunch of power cycles and I commented that Doing this can actually negatively impact the battery life and I wasn't 100 wrong but I might have exaggerated a little bit the impact that it has on battery life A lot of people said that I said it will kill your battery Maybe I did say those words, but it was more of an overtime effect Doing this to any sort of battery does shorten the lifespan But the amount that you're going to see the battery lifespan shortened is probably not that noticeable If you only have to complete this procedure a handful of times right now to fix the issue So, uh, I was wrong in in making people maybe believe out of fear That this is going to harm your battery But I still stand by the fact that if this is happening to your nintendo switch Take advantage of your manufacturers warranty let nintendo deal with this that you shouldn't at the consumer level Uh need to do any of this and besides the fix sounds like it could take many many many hours of your day To get right and by the time you do it you probably could have sent it to nintendo and got the system back anyways Uh, but here is what skull field 117 had to say on this topic Five or six deep power cycles will have no real effect on battery life It will not kill your battery having to retrain the battery monitor is fairly common I've done it numerous times the cell phones over the years And to that point I'll just say my experience with cell phones is generally about six months after I get my cell phone The battery does not say charge for very long Um, and that's not just the battery percentage thing when my battery percentage thing hits zero on my phone my phone dies Uh, so it's literally the battery is just not holding a charge for as long as it did when I first got it So, you know, when someone says they have to do this many times on their phones I don't know what to say my experience with smart devices is that phones continually get worse within that even first year that you have it Um, I've never the this is why I almost want to upgrade my phone every year because by the time The next version of the phone comes out I'm lucky to get, you know a few hours of a day out of one full charge on my phone Because of this I actually own several different battery banks just to make sure my phone Stays charged throughout the day. It's a little ridiculous to be honest And right now I presently use an iphone 6s plus. So, you know, it's a couple years old now And you can imagine it's it's pretty bad today, you know, even recording this video I haven't plugged in to a battery charger because it cannot keep a charge very well now Uh, but as I did admit, you know, you are correct that It shouldn't massively adverse the battery life I am of the belief it will impact it but the impact is going to be so like unnoticeable to the to People's general use cases That uh, it's probably okay to do this if if you prefer to battery cycle and solve this yourself because you don't want to send it into Nintendo my guest Um, just note that as I said, I personally just would not do that Take advantage of your warranty. That's why you have it. Let Nintendo fix the problem for you We had a video earlier this week talking about resident evil revelations one and two coming to nintendo switch And david digon had this to say about it I want re7 revelations didn't interest me as much and I will say I think we all want resident evil seven on switch Uh, I remember the old rumors that resident evil seven was running on switch that they were trying to get the VR version of resident evil the one on switch and through all those rumors We were able to dig up patents of the nintendo switch that showed that nintendo actually did at one time conceptualize like a VR headset that you could you know slide your switch into And enjoy, you know, kind of a samsung veer giar kind of VR experience but um I don't know that that's ever really gonna happen with switch Uh, but I just because the screen quality at 720p You really want 1080p. If not 4k, uh, when you're looking that close at your screen, but Setting all of that aside, I I agree resident evil seven would be fantastic And I do think because resident evil seven performed so poorly despite having massive critical reception That if revelations one two does decently on switch I could see it being An early port job to nintendo switch next year after all we have a pretty packed slate this year So it would be nice, you know, if next spring maybe a year after resident evil seven initially launched It hits on switch and maybe even sees a second life because I know that capcom invested A significant amount of money into resident evil seven and they were not happy seeing it only sell 3.5 million copies So, um, I think we're gonna get resident evil seven. I think it's coming I think we just have to be a bit more patient moving on. There was a ubisoft video I reported on earlier this week About how ubisoft's engine snow drop runs extremely well on switch and could lead to more games From ubisoft in the future once they use the snow drop engine, uh, you know I basically refer that you can get assassin's creed in other games Someday once they switch over to snow drop and michael skinner had this to say You think the port mass effect one to three or tomb raider 2013 and today Uh, tomb raider 2013 is on google tv, which is uh and like an nvidia shield tv Which has the same x1 processor uh I don't think they're going to port those games and Well, let me rephrase. I think they could port mass effect Andromeda, I don't think they're gonna report one to three because I think they're trying to put one to three behind them They just had had andromeda kind of tank So you could see them try to port it hoping that the portability factor will bring people back to the game after they make patches and DLC updates Or you could see them Decide that they want to reboot mass effect all over again, you know five years from now I kind of think mass effects almost in limbo after what happened with andromeda and and it not being nearly as good as the original trilogy And when it comes to tomb raider, I really like like the rebooted tomb raider that both the 2013 version You know the new the new series the two new games they have Uh, I think they're absolutely fantastic I don't know that they're going to come to switch unless switch is going to get the next tomb raider game If switch gets the next tomb raider game I could see them bundling in or having a special edition of the game on switch that includes the other two games Kind of like, you know, when they saw bayonetta 2 and you can get bayonetta 1 I'm thinking a situation like that. I don't think they're going to get individual releases on their own as like a testing the waters mentality Uh, because for them to do that, they have to be willing to commit the new game in the first place So I'd like to see them commit the new game and then bring those games with that game over I think that's possible barring that situation barring the new game coming over I don't think we're going to see tomb raider the new series even appear on switch. Um, But hey, I hope I'm wrong Returning to the capcom and 2k video Uh, in that video I talked about how capcom and 2k are still kind of testing the waters with switch releasing games that are ports And uh, seeing how they perform In fact, I have a quote from capcom in there about them using monster hunter Double cross is kind of a barometer for future support and that literally is like something that's quoted from what they said So I wasn't putting words in their mouth, but uh, Enrique Panero Had this the same response every company does the same practice Except they do not outright say it and then try to recant as capcom does with the switch Every company evaluates how they choose to support any given platform on a game to game basis Based on how their games sell or don't sell The only difference is that sony and microsoft have an install base While the switch is only getting started these statements mean absolutely nothing if microsoft tanked all of a sudden Capcom would be evaluating whether or not to make games for it Same for sony the switch will continue to keep getting games as long as the games keep selling and the platform does well And in large part, I agree. In fact, this is one of the first comments I think today that I absolutely do agree with and to that I say Uh, you make some good points. I do think every company does this They just don't outright say it and it's the idea that capcom is openly admitting it that makes it really interesting To me anyways because as you said, that's not calming companies don't normally admit that they're doing that And I do agree that the reason that sony and microsoft seem to always get the support is because their prior generation Of platforms perform well and nintendo's last generation You know did not and the generation before that didn't really cater to what their parties wanted So Nintendo's really been out of the game, you know with hardware that third parties desire to make games for since the game cube era So if it's been a couple generations Then yeah, switch is going to kind of have to prove itself in order to get those games games now if nintendo could consistently Get these games and we forward with switch switch to switch three and whatever they whatever they have come into the future Then you might start to see another reshift in the paradigm where people are like well Hey, look, I like having these games to play in the home console and on the go nintendo does it best I'm gonna go with them and maybe I won't pick up the next xbox or the next playstation platform because I know nintendo's Going to have those games the problem is we're not at the point where we know nintendo's going to have those games Switch is still in the prove it mode Trying to rebuild that install base. So I I agree you make some very valid points moving on earlier this week I made a site update video talking about patreon talking about the future of everything and I'll have links to all these videos down in the description below But in response to the site update video adria martina said I'd love to have an hour long podcast Well, how about two? I say that because our podcast is rarely just an hour. It's about an hour and a half to two and a half hours I know that's like a big window of time But I don't like to put limits on the podcast because I like to see Uh, where the conversation is going to lead if the conversation leads to two and a half hours of goodness then great And this came up because I was asking people if they would like to see the podcast in video form as one long segment Or continue to see it split up topic by topic, uh, which is what I have been doing, you know, almost since the beginning and There wasn't a single person that said they wish me to continue doing that. They all said, hey We'd like to see you do the long form podcast. So when I say, um, how about two that's because tomorrow the video version of the podcast is releasing here on youtube and it is An hour and 55 minutes long One video So hopefully you guys look forward to seeing that. Uh, if you want to listen to the podcast right now We have the full audio version available right now two day Exclusively on patreon.com slash nintendo prime All you have to do is submit five dollars that patreon and you get a day full early access to the audio portion of the podcast So technically our podcast is live right now if if you want to support us and check it out Uh This is going to be a tough one So probably the most controversial video I made this week dealt with nick robinson and the sexual harassment case and I'm just going to get to this response because there's a lot a lot of things I could talk about with this Uh, but redskid fan had this to say Unsubbed another sjw beta male. I'm sick and gtfo Always siding with females before any evidence is out Females not all constantly abuse shouting sexual harassment Most of the time it's crying wolf You can't be mad at a man for hitting on a woman. How else do you meet? Celebrities not that this guy is one are always using their status to get women and there is nothing wrong with that Plenty of women love chasing celebrity Don't act as if they're innocent all the time I work around a bunch of women and they talk way worse than any man that works there Either way, I wouldn't recommend getting your channel involved with this pc virtual signaling Everyone is doing now Well, I don't know what everyone else is doing. I don't I try to avoid any channels that that seem to be talking about this stuff because They don't necessarily Provide an objective viewpoint and I admit maybe I didn't do that and my one regret with this video I don't regret making it. I regret that I didn't wait a day because A lot of people were asking me to provide definitive evidence, which was never provided Uh, and I didn't have it on hand. All we had was accusations from something like a dozen women or something Uh, and so when accusations start piling up like that, it's it's really hard to deny There's obviously something going on because it's highly helpful these Dozen strangers suddenly message each other and said, yeah, let's get nick robinson because he told a fan to fuck off on twitter I highly doubt there was some big organized effort for that and now, you know, literally within hours and we post in that video One of the victims did put up evidence of the sexual harassment. Now what I want to make clear here is that I don't think that nick robinson Is as big of a monster as I maybe portrayed him out to be he didn't rape anyone I don't think there's any legal action coming from these allegations in fact, I never thought there was legal action coming from these allegations because When you look at the surface of it, uh, with the evidence that's now been provided We know that this is the kind of thing we we see a lot. Uh, essentially he content the evidence that was provided There are images of, you know, as people said they wanted receipts of these supposed conversations Well, some are provider receipts and this person a fan a fan of his Liked a post he put up of a certain t-shirt and he out of nowhere DM that fan Saying hey, do you like this t-shirt? And she said yeah, and then I said, well, would you like to have it? She said well, I don't live around you and then she mentioned how Uh, eventually soon she's going to be around the area that he lives in and maybe they can meet up and hang out and You know the insinuation was you know You know hang out maybe get some lunch and and you know Per able to get that t-shirt from him, you know, or or purchase the t-shirt from him or whatever the case may be and He essentially responded with a meme and the meme Asked her to send nudes so This is I mean when I'm out at the bars, it's not like I don't hear us all all the time You know hey show me pics or hey this or hey that or you know, damn, you're fine Can I grab your ass and like I hear these weird things out of the bar when guys are hitting on women that I don't think I'm right. I don't think it's appropriate But I can't stop it and whether or not it's harassment at least in my mind is usually up to the individual I don't think men should talk to women that way But it happens And some women are okay with it and some women even talked that way back to men now It's one thing if they're friends and you know each other and you know each other a long time Or you've been dating like there's in jokes and everything I have jokes of my fiance all the time Saying really stupid sexual things that we know We don't mean any offense by it and or anything but This is the reason that this bothered me the reason that I Have takes issue with this is because it's a person who is contacting a complete stranger in doing this And I know this is evidence of just one person But if if where there's smoke there's fire and if there's evidence of one suddenly the other 11 people are now lying Uh, I doubt it chances are there's a lot more evidence and this just happening to one fan it feels like it's happened to a dozen or more over the years and The the thing is I think Nick Robinson is probably gonna land on his feet. I think he's gonna get fired from polygon Uh, he's probably gonna be black ball. You know, he's not gonna get hired by IGN or GameSpot or anything But I think he's gonna be able to launch his own Thing because just looking at the reactions to to me finding this disgusting There's definitely a lot of people that think what he did is fine and okay And they're gonna support him because of it. In fact arguably he might ultimately end up ironically being better off than he is now On his own venture making thousands of dollars per month being able to have run his own podcast and spew Whatever crap he wants and act as asshole as he wants and get away with it and admittedly there's a lot of asshole YouTubers out here that uh, they get away with it too. And that's kind of their thing and people enjoy it and and their sexist and their Uh, just bullies and that's fine. If you've enjoyed that content I'm not gonna say that I've never enjoyed content like that before because I have I love stupid humor I watch self park. Are you kidding me? Like I watch some pretty raunchy shit. Um, but when you break it down, uh It's one thing to enjoy a certain type of entertainment and provide a certain type of entertainment Then to literally treat fans like they're there to appease you sexually And I think that that's where I kind of draw the line with this just because there are fans that fun after celebrities Like, you know, there's a lot of celebrities that yeah, maybe they did sleep with a fan because the fan You know made their intentions known they aggressively pursued them That's a lot different because that's like consensual that the person's asking for this kind of behavior versus a fan who just liked a post And uh, we're having a conversation about exchanging a t-shirt and turning that into asking for nude pictures like that's I'm sorry. There's there's a different line there between a fan seeking out a person um wanting to hopefully advance it to a sexual nature and a person seeking out a fan who never asked for it and Starting the conversation really casually and turning into that and the whole, you know As red-skinned fan, you know talked about flirting. There's ways to flirt that don't involve asking people to send you nude pictures of yourself um or asking people uh someone else said that he asked them to uh To meet up so that they could you know suck his dick. It's not Come on flirting if that's how you flirt she needs to get some real game, man. Let me tell you Um, I know I'm a fat man, but it you see my my my fiance or I'll throw up a picture of her You don't you don't have to be an asshole Uh to to get it and you don't have to definitely be an asshole like that to complete strangers. Um It's not illegal what he's doing But I find it ethically and morally wrong And I'm not gonna apologize for it As for me being an sjw and anything else Sure, I mean I disagree with much of the sdw card. I disagree with much of gamergate and much of the pc crab But just because I disagree with a lot of things doesn't mean that Uh, I don't think we should treat people respectfully, especially strangers, especially fans Of like your work. It's really weird to contact a complete stranger and just start being that way Um, I know this has been around since forever, but uh, it doesn't mean I think it's any more Okay today as I did when I was a kid All right, moving on the last video of this week was about splatoon two having some data transfer issues With peer-to-peer connections and it being 30 slower at, you know, submitting multiplayer data In matches than the original splatoon and here's what Bradley Piper had to say I don't believe there are any shooter games that purely use dedicated servers It's not the simple answer everyone thinks it is Dedicated servers are too slow to be used for every single communication and a fast paced game like splatoon or battlefield Most games with dedicated servers like battlefield only use them for functions that make sense and don't need the speed Of a peer and don't need the speed of a peer-to-peer connection Saying that you shouldn't pay for nintendo's online service because they don't use dedicated servers is nonsense Not every game on xbox live or playstation plus use dedicated servers and plenty of people pay them In fact, they pay more than what nintendo will be charging a real reason you shouldn't pay nintendo for online Would be if their communication platform and infrastructure is garbage and let's be honest they don't have a good track record So Obviously this dives into a lot of different situations Yes, not every game on playstation network and or playstation plus and xbox live Use dedicated servers and I don't remember ever saying that every game does The only games that really do it are either because of the third party developer decided to do it Or their first party games or exclusive games to the platform And microsoft is the one that made a bold claim back in 2013 that every single online game on xbox live Is going to have dedicated servers because of our cloud service Which turned out to be complete hogwash and isn't at all what has happened in the year since But again, I think that whole 2013 Was just a really bad year for microsoft in general when it came to xbox live and xbox one They said a lot of really confusing crap that was not true at all Um, and then you know the next year they they promoted phil spencer and Well, they've been pretty forthcoming ever since. Um, I really like phil. He's done a really good job over at the xbox The xbox office and with the xbox team Um, as for any shooters that purely use dedicated servers I don't know. At the top of my head. I'm not sure Uh, if when I'm editing this if I happen to find a shooter that does I'll throw up an image of it, uh, but I it's not necessarily that that that swatoon 2 needs dedicated servers Uh, I was just saying that because the author of the piece that originated that video Said that dedicated servers would theoretically provide a much better service and compared to the way that swatoon 2 runs right now online It definitely would probably it like there's no doubt in my mind that a dedicated server would do 100,000 times better Uh The the real issue here is that even in peer-to-peer Splatoon 2 is bad It is like one of the worst games, you know, I threw up the graph before I'll throw it up again Showing just how bad the connection rate is with splatoon 2 speed wise compared to all these other multiplayer games Even the original splatoon. So the issue is Uh, the way and the speed of the peer-to-peer is not good enough so Yeah, otherwise I kind of agree. You know, nintendo doesn't have a good track record Uh, I you know whether or not the online is worth it I think a lot of people pay xbox live in playstation network because They have to to get online access Anyways folks, that's going to do it for this edition of prime comments episode 1 As always folks, look forward to our next video starting tomorrow with the podcast and I will catch you guys next sunday For prime comments episode 2 I am Nathaniel ruffle jantz from nintendo prime.
