 yeah it's one of those kind of videos. Now look before we get into the rumors and reports that are heading on out there I want to remind you we are giving away a Nintendo Switch OLED to enter is really really simple just be subscribed we are going to have a live stream in the first week of October to announce the winners so you're gonna want to be there live we will have that stream set up for you here in the next few days so people can go set their notifications we'll start putting links in our videos but for now you just got to subscribe to the channel so we're almost to September right we're like a day or two away and I've been saying for a couple weeks now you know maybe a few weeks ever since we got our first real direct rumor I don't know about a month ago that we're getting a direct this upcoming month in September uh Nintendo's basically done one every single year since directs have come into existence outside of last year and even then we had a Nintendo Direct technically uh that was the first time we had our what they called the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and then they later dropped the Direct branding uh but though we got a partner showcase we also had uh the Mario anniversary stuff happened at this point last year so while we didn't get a traditional direct because we didn't really get a traditional direct at all in 2020 Nintendo still dropped good news uh in September so it's very highly likely that we're going to get one and if you look at the timing of the last four September Directs two of them were in the first like literal few days of the month I think like all the way up to the fourth and then the other two uh happened exactly on September 13th now the previous two the most recent ones in September actually happened I think like on the third and the fourth so there's already expectations or there should be expectations logically that we are about to get a Nintendo Direct but it's not going to stop us from reporting on what some of the insiders who have had some correct information in the past are saying and we've got three different insiders uh talking about I wanted to bring up the history of September Directs also the last two September Directs we had contained Nintendo Switch on line updates and that's going to be relevant here in a moment so first let's get into uh Nate Drake aka Nate Drake is his username over on uh Risa Aerobody's also known as Nate the hate I know some people are kind of wishy-washy with him after some of his switch pro stuff because he was wrong on some switch pro stuff but also right on some of the switch OLED things so you know it is another funeral that everybody has a fairly decent track record with Nintendo stuff and he did a recent podcast that he does almost sporadically it tried to be every week for a while but he just fits it in his schedule when he can and on that podcast he discussed possibilities for what the next update to Nintendo Switch online is and essentially this is what we got out of his uh his podcast um he brought up the fact that there was a data mine a long time ago we're talking a year or two ago of Nintendo's online infrastructure and servers and it showed some emulators that exist that weren't currently being used but were actually usable in the hacking community on Nintendo Switch and those emulators were for Game Boy and Game Boy Advance which really suggests that Nintendo's been obviously working on Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games for Nintendo Switch online so this is just something to keep in the back of our minds as we potentially expect a major Nintendo Switch online announcement now N64 is obviously something we have gravitated to if you follow the trend of NES SNES it really feels like uh N64 would be next but we'll have to wait and see on that front uh for now though we do know these emulators do exist in Nintendo Switch's back end so it is something to just kind of keep back there of course we also know there's N64 emulators because we do know that Mario 64 was running on an emulator so well it's kind of like one of those we're getting probably something for Nintendo Switch online we just don't know what and obviously the releases for for NES and SNES have massively slowed down and been a bit unimpressive the last handful of times they brought some stuff out uh which is really weird since there's a lot of really big games still not on the Nintendo Entertainment System app and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System app that were actually on prior virtual consoles but it's neither here nor there maybe licensing agreements have gone away or you know whatever I have no idea but um what's also interesting here is that that uh Nate the hate aka Nate Drake did suggest on the reset era forums that he actually does know a general idea of when this direct is happening but that's all he's giving he's not really even giving us specific days or anything I think he's trying to avoid uh locking in dates like maybe he's done in the past uh because obviously dates are always subject to the change Nintendo could literally plan a direct for tomorrow and then could it like oh man we've got a last minute delay and edit a trailer or we have a new edition or or developer wants to drop out or something so that's just something to keep in the back of our minds when it comes to talking about Nintendo Direct now uh another little insider who a lot of people have dismissed um and I understand why Zippo you guys have probably heard me talk about him on the channel before and if anything else he really needs a tinfoil hat um but he got a lot of stuff wrong at e3 and I feel like that has made people really really doubt his credibility uh but I also he's actually got a lot of stuff right in the past and he's gotten some stuff right since in in particular in regards to sonic so uh he might have some contacts or he might not I'm not really sure which way to go on this one like all insiders um this is why we tinfoil hat pretty much every rumor video at this point uh because hey it's uh this stuff is non-verifiable I can't verify any of it all I can do is look at track records go yeah sometimes he's right so um here is the big thing Zippo I'm he doesn't know anything that's in the direct he said point blank I know nothing about what's in the direct but he made an update to a post he made back on August 23rd and he updated it today and that update is Nintendo Direct is imminent yeah he's saying a Nintendo Direct is going to happen this week now obviously logically Nintendo usually announces major directs the night or day or morning before they're going to happen they have had surprise directs at times so traditionally they happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays but they have also had ones on Wednesdays so the earliest you know if it's going to be a September direct would obviously be Wednesday because tomorrow is the 31st uh but it's obviously more likely to be you know this upcoming Thursday based on the history of when some of the directs come out and they would announce it on Wednesday it is what it is we're just kind of waiting at this point uh history tells us September 13th is no later than that uh but that's history that doesn't mean that Nintendo is always going to follow that they beat to the beat of their but Zippo is out here saying plant in this flag it's happening this week that's what his sources are apparently saying beyond all that I wanted to talk about something that samus hunter said so we haven't talked much about samus since e3 just a couple things here and there but she continues to be right on numerous things that to me just aren't um that big a deal to me personally but obviously hey can't ignore it she was wrong on a couple things at e3 notably she was not one of the switch pro rumor people uh so we can't really dismiss her for that stuff there was just a couple things during e3 that she was obviously off about including the pokemon presents which ended up happening a couple months later it's kind of weird maybe it was going to happen before e3 we got delayed for unknown reasons I have no idea but here's what she said uh so mitzvuta the uh he is so for those who know who mitzvuta is uh he has traditionally at least more recently than the composer and director of music for the zeno big chronicle games and monoliths up and he put up a tweet himself showing a recording session that he's currently in but he didn't really say what the recording session is for he just showed a picture of the orchestra and all that and i mean mitzvuta has done this a number of times and it's led to a lot of speculation but uh samus hunter you know quote tweeted uh that and basically said yeah this is for zeno blade and this is the final recording session for zeno blade and we all know about the zeno big chronicles three rumors that have been percolating from really legit places like imran khan over at fanbite uh obviously i you know he he's really been dead armed a lot of his reporting over the years and there's been other various people we know the voice actress might have accidentally uh ended up being the first person to tell us as you know in chronicles three is in development uh but it sounds like based on imran khan's reporting but from before that this game is almost done and then you have samus hunter latch on and being like hey look i don't you know before she said i don't really know much about what imran khan is saying but she does know that this is the final recording session for the game so that does suggest the game is essentially in its final stages and does support a notion i have a possible surprise you know reveal at this direct and releasing this december i again it could be 2022 and the general census for this direct is essentially that they're going to just show off the rest of the lineup for this year and then you know the early stuff for 2022 uh i don't think pokemon legends arceus will make that cut although it's possible it might make an appearance i think pokemon is going to continue to advertise it on its own and we can more look forward to things like what's happening over at i don't know um the rest of their lineup like what's dropping in march is it splatoon three i have no idea we can speculate all day obviously we should get the final smash character reveal of course we talked about this all on our last podcast i'll put a link down to that podcast as well if you would like to check that out but that's what i got for you today anyways i know it's a late night video and not exactly how i plan to do things today but you know my college restarted up today and then one of my children started school the day when i had to bring them to school and pick them up because the buses aren't running yet the buses run tomorrow and all three of the children started school so it's been kind of a hectic day plus i've been on the phone with samsung customer support i don't know what the hell is going on trying to get a refund on some monitor that i it's just been a big hassle but that's just everyday life right we all have our little stresses and things that we deal with whether it's from parenting jobs school etc friends uh drama all that stuff so not going to die too much deeper than that i just had had to notice been a bit of a weird day hence the video coming so late anyways folks thank you so much for tuning in i am the tender robot jats from nintendo prime and i'll catch each and every one of you in the next video
