 yes folks it's true we have some major pokemon legends arceus stuff to talk about today uh... and it it has to do with the visuals apparently uh... and a little bit more than that but don't worry we're not going to spoil anything for you and also you guys might be aware that pokemon legends arceus has leaked it has its official i will show you a couple images proven it nothing spoiler effect but still it has leaked we have a couple of the stories i want to get to first but yes we are going to be really focusing in on this new pokemon legends arceus stuff that being said uh... we have a couple giveaways going on right now to find out what those are and to enter head down to the pin comment or the description otherwise if you're new to the channel i would appreciate if you would drop a like and subscribe first up we have pokemon news on pokemon not legends arceus but news on pokemon in twenty twenty one this comes from matt piscitella and the mpd who is now release their final report for twenty twenty one for the video game industry and pokemon is reached its highest physical sales in a single year ever which beats out the year of two thousand uh... and when we talk physical sales we're talking about just total pokemon games sold physically so that includes pokemon brilliant diamond shining pearl new pokemon snap and trailing sales of pokemon sword and shield cup those combined uh... led to the highest number of units and dollar sales in pokemon history in terms of physical offices doesn't include digital so yeah last year was a really big year for pokemon obviously this year's gonna be a pretty big year as well still that's really could really cool also just to clarify if this wasn't already obvious which was the number one system last year in the united states according to the mpd both in terms of unit sales and dollar sales we don't have any official figures but yeah i thought that was pretty obvious considering it one every single month but one so yeah obviously switch is the runaway winner last year we'll see if it's a runaway winner this year our second story here our deals with kingdom hearts you guys might not be aware of the kingdom hearts games our landing on switch on february tenth that was announced today again these are cloud streaming versions and the demos are available right now now that's really cool that's an interesting note in news for those are interested in playing the cloud versions on switch however the pricing is something i really want to get into here so here are the price you have a price for the entire collection in an individual so king hearts hd one point five plus two point five remix cloud version on its own is thirty nine ninety nine however it's gonna have a launch discounted price at launch of thirty one ninety nine kingdom hearts hd two point eight final chapter prologue cloud version is forty nine ninety nine but it's launching at thirty nine ninety nine for a discounted price these discounts are temporary by the way kingdom hearts three plus remind to cut cloud version is going to be forty nine ninety nine and that's launching at thirty nine ninety nine at a discounted price uh... so you have these discounted prices are weird you're launching at a cheaper price and you're going to be selling it for like a week later i don't understand the reasoning here and it gets worse kingdom hearts intercom masterpiece for cloud which is the entire collection together is ninety dollars which you'll notice is significantly cheaper than buying them on their own like to the point that why would you ever buy them on their own uh... but it's launching at a reduced prices seventy one ninety nine that's a big difference was a eighteen dollars i honestly don't understand what the point of this is why do they have to launch them at discounted prices when you launch them they've already been promoted by nintendo they're already appear atop of the recent selling maybe even be in the best seller list for a little bit depending on how many people are going to jump in on the cloud versions i don't really understand why the discounts are not saying hey get rid of the discount i'm saying the discount should just be the standard price it should just be what seventy one ninety nine for the entire collection it should just be you know thirty nine ninety nine get king of hearts hd two point eight kingdom hearts three should just be thirty nine ninety nine one point five is two five should just be thirty one ninety nine if not twenty nine ninety nine or cheaper these games are available much cheaper on other platforms so i don't understand what they're doing here my basic stand at launch we're gonna give you a discount but you buy after launch yes screw you were charging you more i this is just battling i understand the idea is to encourage people to jump in at launch but you really want to encourage people to jump in at launch sell each of these for twenty bucks for twenty bucks each people would probably be willing to give the cloud version a legit try without that charging these prices i'm not so sure that you're going to get too many people jumping in but we'll see you as i said demos are out right now so you can see how well each of these games runs on your local internet connection both wirelessly and obviously docked let me know your thoughts on this i haven't tried it yet myself because we have to play pokemon brilliant diamond tonight instead i got i got two tuesdays left to be brilliant on before legends arceus comes out now speaking of legends arceus we got to get to our coup de gras the big story here and first off it starts off with the fact that pokemon legends arceus has leaked here's some proof of that this happened on a facebook page where the person posted this it is since been verified by a few media members who have review copies at this point and there's a couple screenshots that i'm not going to share with you just because any screenshot to be considered a spoiler i guess i don't really think the screenshot shared at this point which are like the very beginning of the game are spoiler but you know just to be safe yeah i'm not going to show you them now you can obviously make sure you filter a pokemon legends arceus from now until the end of the month we warned you earlier this month by the way this was going to happen so this isn't surprising it looks like it was a legit retail copy that leaked this happens if it's not from the media it's from people getting retail copies early i don't know their their serial numbers involve nintendo might be able to hunt this person down hunt the retailer down and maybe shut it down or do something about it but this is just one of what's likely going to be dozens and dozens of leaks the rom files will be online i'm sure shortly if they're not already now that being said i want to focus in on something that nate the hate aka direct feed games said on twitter and he actually has a review copy of the game and this is really interesting because he noticed something that he is able to talk about sort of but obviously he's got to wait for preview embargoes and review embargoes to go up and he tweeted this out the narrative around pokemon legends visuals is going to hit a hard pivot soon now to clarify the narrative around the visuals is that the game doesn't look very good so to hit a hard pivot would suggest that maybe the game is better looking than you think if we're to be a hard pivot significantly better looking interesting but he goes on to say i'm looking forward to it and then he does like a little you know summation core to the internet internet why didn't nintendo let's so and so assist and help on the game well about that and then somebody literally says let me guess monolith soft and he directly responds it says yeah they helped in the game so that could mean other teams obviously helped in the game as well it doesn't have to just be monolith soft because he says monolith soft played a small role he as he replied to somebody else but i think if monolith soft is the big thing here and even even if let's say nintendo's mario team or zelda team or something helped out with this game it doesn't matter to me what teams helped it's actually just going to make the narrative worse now unless pokemon legends arceus when we booted up had looks significantly better than all of the footage we have seen which it very well might but if it doesn't look significantly better if it looks exactly the same as it's being represented to us i'm not so sure the the um debate the narrative around the visuals is going to take a hard turn now he's suggesting it will but i don't understand like how you could say that even if monolith soft helped on it even if say the breath of the wild team helped out on this game let's presume in the best case scenario that's what happened that's only going to make it look worse that they helped out and this is still the end result visually now i want to be clear here i'm not so sure why a lot of people get excited about monolith soft helping out when it comes to visuals visuals are not actually what monolith soft is known for yes the number of chronicles two looks fine the number of chronicles of internet edition looks a little better but i mean it's not like their visual feast they've had performance issues they've had issues with resolution but they have a lot of experience making open world style games hence why their experience was invaluable for breath of the wild but they had nothing to do with the visuals in breath of the wild the visuals were handled by the zelda team so monolith soft helping out with this game probably wouldn't impact the visuals anyways now if the zelda team or somebody else then you could argue that but honestly i'm not so sure he's right now he's claiming as someone with direct knowledge playing the game um is going to say that narrative is going to flip uh but we'll see we'll see i have significant doubts that that narrative is going to flip and i got nothing i got no footage to show you uh that i'm willing to show anyways i'm not going to show leaked footage or screenshots etc um when the previews and reviews drop maybe maybe the narrative will start flipping then but i mean he says the narrative is going to flip on the visuals i i don't honestly agree here's the thing them getting help only is going to make it worse and make people dig in even more on this game looks visually bad oh you had monolith soft help oh you had the zelda team's help and it still looks this bad this isn't just the way it is people are going to dig in even more i don't think it's a hard pivot at all but that being said i guess he would know more than i would because i haven't played the game and he has so when you have experience playing the game and i don't you know what your opinion at the moment matters more than me so take it for what it is let me know what you think do you agree with direct for you games native hate that it the narrative is going to take a hard pivot once people get that game in their hands or do you think it's just going to make people dig in even more i'm on the latter half of that but again i haven't played it so i can't tell you i guess we'll just have to wait and see pokemon legends arceus by the way launches in 10 days holy crap guys we're almost to the end of january damn all right folks i'm detentor robert jess from detentor prime i want to thank you for tuning in and i'll catch you in the next video
