 Hey everyone Yeah, first off giveaway going on $99 Nintendo switch each update card description or pinned comment to enter Secondly. Hey, welcome to prime answers folks Man this is a kind of a special Video so I do Q&A's every live stream, but I know not people people can't always make every live stream So in this video, I'm gonna timestamp every question Including obviously the headline question. I don't even know what it is yet But I'm basically I take people's questions if you are a patreon member at patreon.com session tenor prime a YouTube member Or if you are a subscriber over on our twitch channel I have a separate private channel on our discord server where people submit questions And then I also take a handful of questions off of Twitter and I'm gonna try to make this show a weekend show That happens every single week I used to do the show way back in the day and I got rid of it I'm gonna try to show the questions on screen We'll see how fancy the editing gets because I have so many videos in the works right now You guys have no idea so much for you to look forward to but let's get into the first question And the first one comes from KR space tea Over on our discord server looks like he is a patron and he says how much on switch Do you think immortals rising has sold the mortals Phoenix rising it would be self game And how do you think it compares to other systems? Well immortals is on the top ten on ps4 and Xbox one is that because it sells better or because it is Because less is selling on them in general Though so this this question was a little bit earlier this month Immortals Phoenix rising I think sold incredibly well on switch I think it might even be the best-selling version of the game It's just there's a lot of big games that sell on switch as evergreen titles So you tend to see a lot of Nintendo games in the top ten or top 20 But I think immortal Phoenix rising probably sold well I'm I don't know if it cracked a million, but I'm gonna say it's sold north of 500,000 copies I know I own a copy on switch as for it selling well on PlayStation 4 and Xbox one Of course it did because it was a really good game that deserved to have an audience And I think enough people were interested in it after all it has a very breath of the wild like vibe to it with comedy And let me tell you it's really really damn good It might be the best Ubisoft game in the hell of a long time and that's saying something because Ubisoft makes a Pretty decent amount of high-quality games next question comes from a longtime supporter Cory Boehm. He's been a patron He's been a member. He's been a donator on streams He goes Sonic Prime question which Nintendo IP do you think will be loaned to Sega next it might be the pending? Microsoft sale cool that so he's basically saying hey look Microsoft could potentially be buying Sega Which is potentially possible. There's a lot of things happening with Sega Sammy right now And he talks about what IP do I think Nintendo could loan to Sega and if it will be affected I don't think they're gonna loan anything other than Mario for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games I don't see Nintendo loaning them anything else moving forward Especially while the company's influxing Nintendo's gonna keep things a little close to the vest when it comes to Sega and Just leave it at that so we'll see this next question comes from patron Sonic man the best and he says prime question Do you think PlayStation would benefit by abolishing its Sony corporation? Ownership status and actors in American company. So what he's talking about is essentially most of Sony's video game Decisions are now being made in their new headquarters here in America Well Sony is a corporation still has an overall presiding factor in Japan and this still the heart and home of Sony and its CEO Most of the video game stuff is being handled by the American wing of Sony interactive so it's really interesting to see the dynamic as Sony has lost Almost all of their ground in Japan after PlayStation 4 which while a PlayStation 4 was no slouch in Japan 9 million almost 10 million in sales as a home console in a in a country that is really into handheld gaming that is actually Really really good So Sony had an audience and while PlayStation 5 is selling out in Japan They're definitely not shipping that many units to Japan relative to other parts of the country and although they're Advertising for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 games are geared to the West the commercials that air in Japan have American actors in them. They're not even targeting local Japanese audiences with their games So I think it's very clear that everything's being ran now through what they consider to be their main market in North America So do I think there'll be a benefit to it? I don't know that anything benefits by abolishing The Sony corporate in Japan oversight because that essentially would mean splitting Sony into two different companies I don't think that really benefits anybody And if anything I think it hurts Sony's reputation in Japan even more than it already is damaged I think you need to keep everything under that corporate umbrella Same reason like if Nintendo of America started making a majority of the of the decisions I don't think that Nintendo of Japan should just like become a separate company basically sort of like Sega Sammy But those were two separate companies. So at one point. So I'm just gonna say that I don't think there's really a Reason to have to do it I think what Sony is currently doing is working in general as PlayStation 5 is like one of the fastest launching systems for them ever So clearly whatever they're doing while it might be hurt in one market. It's leading to more success in others So I think you just let them be and plus they all have a lot of partnerships like you think that deal for Final Fantasy 15 and Final Fantasy 7 happens if Sony corporate in Japan isn't presiding over everything. I'm not so sure So I think there's still a lot of benefits to keeping Sony corporate Overseeing the American headquarters for their gaming section now over on Twitter We have a question from Joshua Smith and he says will we see a Metroid Prime game on switch this year or next year? So this year is the 35th anniversary of Metroid and we haven't seen Metroid Prime 4 ever not since they showed us the logo back in 2017 and then they announced in 2019 it was being rebooted by Retro Studios And that's all we've heard everything else while Bandai Namco and other companies that might have been working on the first Version of Metroid Prime 4 technically all rumors and speculation. That's unverified so Right now, I think we might see Metroid Prime 4 Teaser by the end of this year. I think 2022 is the earliest we could possibly get Metroid Prime 4 given the reboot status in 2019 so I'm gonna say there is a chance we get it in 2022 No chance we get it this year Slight chance because it's Metroid 35th anniversary that they might actually show us part of the game But 2022 target date 2023 likely date if it's delayed which it probably will be if it was announced for 2022 Logan Lublock one of the regulars over on Twitter. He's always liking and retweeting stuff He asks what is your favorite switch game? Well, Breath of the Wild is like my favorite game period But I also technically considered a Wii U game ported to switch even though it launched on both the same time I know the development history. It was a Wii U game so I Usually default to things like Mario Odyssey Mario plus Rabbids Kingdom Battles way up there So is Phoenix Rising is way up there as well now. I have a lot of switch games I played a ton of I played a ton of Splatoon 2 Splatoon 3 is gonna shoot up that list in a hurry But for now, I'm gonna go with Mario Odyssey because I really love Mario And that is an amazing game that every switch owner should experience This next question comes from game stoic now has a ps5 aka at Nintendo Dave one He says now that you secured yourself. I'll play station five. Thank you. I did What is an upcoming exclusive game that you're looking forward to mine is ratchet and clink ripped apart? That Kenna game. Is that what it's called Kenna? That game comes out in like a month or something right like ratchet and clink ripped apart I didn't realize it doesn't come out till June and I'm really looking forward to that game But I do that Kenna game man. It looks so good. I mean look at this trailer It looks so beautiful like that was the one thing from the state of play They recently did that really excited me was like, hey, I know we already know about this game But I own does it look good every time we see it like it's got that Nintendo magic to it But like the Sony flare I do I'm so excited To play that game so that's actually like one of my most hyped games of this year currently our last question comes from My friend and fellow youtuber game over Jesse over on Twitter. He says not based on rumors What are your actual thoughts on how powerful the switch row will be and what when will the release? So he's actually saying set aside every rumor that exists every report that exists Just tell me straight up. What do you think this thing is going to be setting aside? When everyone else is said how do I set aside everything I've ever reported on for three years and he can come up with it Like I'm too tainted. That's just yeah, I'm too tainted. So let me set a realistic expectation bar I don't know if it's gonna be have 4k through DLSS. I know a lot of people are saying that I don't know if it's gonna have a new screen even though they have a factual partnership with in a lead display So here's my deal. I think we're gonna get a 1080p screen I think it's bare minimum going to be more powerful in that it'll be a taiga x1 Running at clock speeds or overclocked on a smaller die shrink This is bare minimum what I expect and I'll add an extra couple gigs of RAM bare minimum And we'll see a boost in 32 gigabytes of internal storage to 64 gigabytes of internal storage and that's it I don't think they're gonna improve the joy cons or anything even though I want them to That's what I'm setting my bar at for my personal expectations. That's not what I want them to do I want a lot of these rumors to actually be more true, but I'm setting my bar as that's kind of new 3ds territory But if they go beyond I am more than happy with that All right, folks, I hope you enjoyed this episode this reboot of prime answers episode one here in 2021 Just like the Nintendo Prime podcast I'm trying to bring everything back bigger and better than last time So you guys let me know ways I could improve this Otherwise if you have questions be sure to follow over on Twitter or become a member and subscribe and all that jazz So you can go to our discord server And you know get your questions in as a patron if you decided to be my patron a patron account such in Prime as far as little as $1 get your questions every week.
