 Hey everyone today we got a four pack of stories for you guys maybe it's a three but no it is a four pack I had to double check my notes here um there's a lot of cool stuff happening uh you guys remember we've been talking about uh the nintendo direct that's supposed to happen this month we have a potential update for that uh a big rumor coming out in regards to the nintendo switch online that isn't from your typical rumor inside sources right you know the samus on jerseys zippos and then nathe hates uh even jeff grubb like none of these places it's actually an outlet that literally every time they have backed a rumor or stated their own rumors they're they've been right and you'll understand why that is when i get to it there's obviously some other stuff happening as well some stuff in regards to a certain big name third party game that slated to come to switch and obviously some updates for that so let's just dive right in after i remind you we are giving away a nintendo switch oh that's right that thing you see up there it's in the background of our video we are giving away one of these platforms well literally uh day one we're giving away right now all you gotta do is be subscribed to enter and then we will have a live stream in early october uh that you need to be at uh and all that jazz but literally you just gotta be subscribed to enter uh and i wish all of you guys luck uh and your guys just continue support your likes your comments your subscriptions and obviously all any of the community support that happens during our live streams or to become a member or or all that stuff all helps support what we do as a channel obviously helps us expand and do content more often and obviously helps support us continuing to do giveaways uh i'd like to give back to the community as much as possible and i have no idea what giveaway is going to be next we do have the holidays coming up so i'm sure there'll be a nice little uh package happening in the month of october to for the rest of october after uh olag comes out and then obviously heading all the way through christmas so we'll see what happens uh if you guys any have any ideas for future giveaways just let me know down in the comments i'm always you know trying to plan things ahead of time gotta make sure i got that budget set aside all right folks let's just jump right in and we're gonna start with the story that really originated i think from the nate the hate podcast so we talked about this the other day about how we talked about how some certain emulators that have been in existence and we've known have been in existence for a while but that was really it he didn't really dive into um you know he put his personal opinion out there we're not really saying that he has any sources saying x y or z is going to happen for nintendo switch online aka expansion into gameboy gameboy color gameboy advance and all that jazz well the turns out that when nintendo life uh went to cover this story uh or the this potential story they did mention that podcast but then they went on in their article to say they have actually confirmed with their own sources that nintendo is about to add gameboy and gameboy color to nintendo switch online services this year uh that is obviously a really really big get because at this point it's all been just kind of speculation uh including from nate the hate but in this case we actually have nintendo life throwing their backing behind the entire idea of gameboy and gameboy color games coming to switch this year now if you think logically it could make some sense if nintendo thinks n64 games are too valuable which is weird since they've had on virtual console before but let's assume that they do think they're too valuable uh if they do think uh you know maybe gameboy advance i would like to see them advance come over there's a lot of studios who are potentially remaking and remastering gameboy advance games including nintendo like with advanced wars one plus two reboot so maybe that kind of takes that off the table for now uh but it obviously we all want to see gamecube and we and all that eventually on switch we obviously get all the we you but i i think in earnest uh gameboy and gameboy color make a lot of sense to come to the platform obviously uh the big concern for us as nintendo fans isn't necessarily what platforms are going to be added although we obviously have all of our favorites and gameboy is a favorite from my childhood the question is what is the launch lineup going to be available and how often isn't going to be updated and what titles will be updated when you have gameboy and gameboy color which nintendo considers the same generation coming there's you know thousands and thousands of games but a lot of the games involve licensing a lot of some of the best games were licensed games on that platform uh you and you can expect to you know safely to see most of nintendo's offering someday plus obviously games like tetris but how many of those other games that are outside of that spectrum are we going to get and how often is the real big question uh we have seen that the nests and snests app really slowed down in updates after really the first six months of each of them launching uh and then the games we get added today are kind of um i'm not going to say bad games uh but not necessarily the games we would like to see added and a lot of that's because of licensing issues and we have to wonder what's going to happen when you add gameboy and gameboy color into the fray as well now from nintendo side of things obviously all i expect as a nintendo fan and nintendo consumer is that bare minimum any game they own the rights to be put you know on their virtual console or you know the nintendo switch online service here and they still haven't even done that with the nintendo entertainment system and the super nintendo entertainment system so things aren't really going to be different with gameboy color but the more platforms that they get added to nintendo switch online the better it is i think the long haul hope is that this isn't a service that's going to be reset i kind of hope this is something they continue to build off of into their next generation platform where we have these same games that are available now also available there i think this is a better long haul idea than virtual console was or reset every generation but again this might reset too that's the thing we don't know how these things are built and if they're actually going to be you know forward compatible with future generations of hardware or if nintendo even cares to do it that way but with it being a subscription service why wouldn't you because if you take if you haven't done a switch online and you have tens of millions of subscribers to it that play those games and then you move to the next platform um what's gonna like it wouldn't upset them to suddenly have less value because they upgraded their system i again this is obviously something for nintendo to worry about uh but yeah it it obviously is a concern i do appreciate that they do make some online modes and stuff available and update the games a little make them look a little better a little bit better on widescreen but still uh i i just i really want to uh see what the lineup is going to be i think that's really the big deciding factor on how good this is but i fully expect this to be talked about in what appears to be a new nintendo direct at some point in september now this next one is a bit of a rumor so you know tim foil hat maybe i'll put my hat on my hat for this one uh this one comes from a dextero article uh which is a from a completely different country than the united states i can't read it natively so i'm actually going to read the information off of the gaming and rumors subreddit over on uh well on reddit and uh they have a link to the article and i'll put a link down in the description it says for many franchises there were two glimmers of hope and we're talking about a major game coming to switch the first obviously was a return of normality once the pandemic restrictions could be lifted the second was the release of overwatch 2 so yes folks we are talking about overwatch 2 and it coming to nintendo switch um which according to the sources we spoke with have become synonymous with a hard reset of the league and a potential resurgence of enthusiasm among fans for the ip when rumors started to circulate that the game was going to face delays the team's owners wanted to know how long realistically that would be the case on august 7th the reputed overwatch insider metro spoke publicly about these rumors stating that from what i can gather a release in 2022 does not seem likely anymore an internal activision uh source told dextero that this was incorrect and added that getting the game out as soon as possible was now a high priority which i suspect activision blizzard getting any big game out is a high priority at this point because they want to distract people from the ongoing lawsuit but we're not going to talk about that here but just know i'm aware of it and it's a pretty shitty thing an internal activision source told us sort of this was incorrect and he said we're more than aware that we need to get it out they said so the word is the dev team has been told to lock in the features that the game has get it fixed and get it shipped we're looking to get it out before summer 2022 another source a member of franchise management also corroborated this version of events saying we've been told the aim is for quarter two of next year the timing of the release will factor in the league schedule because obviously they don't want to switch game versions in the middle of a season so they're trying to time seasons ending in current overwatch to the launch of overwatch two now obviously um this seems to be coming from sources that are claimed to be inside of activision blizzard and and the actual development team so we'll have to see what happens overwatch two obviously was a game announced quite some time ago it is announced for nintendo switch and they reminded us in an interview back in late july that it is still going to be coming to nintendo switch and they're trying to make it day in date it's just going to have some sacrifices which we presume to be resolution um texture detail and possibly the lighting systems we'll have to see if that gets touched and then maybe frame rate obviously for a multiplayer game like this we would hope it could maintain 60 fps i know paladins has been trying to do that uh so it would be nice to see that we already have overwatch on the platform so it would be nice to see them prioritize keeping that but if they cut that back to 30 that could be a realistic expectation so there will be cutbacks but it's supposed to be their day in date at least that's the current plan for nintendo switch they have been developing it you know the switch version and you know all that alongside all the other versions so we'll have to see how it goes but it is a major game that is supposed to come to switch next year so uh yeah i guess at this point just stay tuned now last week there was a partnership uh between puma and animal crossing announced by the official puma twitter account and puma has actually worked with nintendo on other merchandising crossovers in the past such as with the mario series so this crossover makes sense especially when you consider animal crossing new horizons is the number two best selling game on switch and the fastest selling game in switch history so i don't know if it's ever going to overdate number one sales are really dipped in 2021 but um it upset some fans because obviously we've all been waiting for a major update for animal crossing and there's been some rumors around some major updates coming you know the holidays are coming so there has to be at least holiday updates uh but setting all that aside today we're talking about the puma and animal crossing uh you know partnership because we got a look at a couple of the items and we've gotten looks at them already once the back of a sweatshirt and the tennis shoes in particular but now we have some some new images some closer up images and i get to talk about it so i wanted to bring it up in particular i actually think the kicks actually look really really cool uh something that i might even consider wearing in certain situations i'm not afraid you know i know i don't seem to wear gamer gear that often but i'm not afraid to wear gamer gear um you know i got this hat so i you know i'll wear this hat in public it doesn't bother me so it's one of those things where with certain attires and certain clothing getups i have i would be willing to rock those shoes and i do enjoy puma shoes i don't i don't buy them very often obviously i assume these shoes are probably more targeted at children and i if i know my kids are all gonna want a pair uh but yeah this is just a pretty neat crossover and it'll be even cooler you know if i see this in some of our local shoe outlets uh you know at some point next year because it usually takes about six months before stuff like this ends up being available uh in general stores even though they'll have online orders so i don't know i just think it looks cool and i just wanted to bring it up in case people weren't aware of it on my channel now lastly i just wanted to talk briefly about the nintendo direct we put up a new poll today asking people when they think a direct will happen obviously our last video had had some sources saying it's happening this week i have no idea when an nintendo direct is happening in september my money is obviously on any time before you know september 13th and earlier so basically anytime before september 14th based on prior nintendo directs but it could happen at any point it could also just not happen this month uh although that seems really unlikely by my estimation even last year when we didn't have a direct we did end up having the mario 35th anniversary celebration so there's been something every september like that uh and they actually had they technically had a direct we just wasn't a general direct right it was that partner direct showcase but anyways the point is that there's going to probably be something and i just wanted to know that there is actually no update today there was no announcement by nintendo uh although there has been like this one tweet with this image going around about a nintendo direct tweet from that uh that supposedly went up for nine four which would be a saturday that'd be a really weird day they technically have done sundays for something before so you can't rule out a saturday but nintendo america doesn't work on weekends so that's usually why they don't do weekend announcements like that that being said um it's obviously fake uh i have done all the research into it um there are ways to check twitter accounts that even if they throw up a tweet and delete it within literally a second of when they went live um you could still have a record that that tweet was at least made even if you can't see the contents of that tweet and yeah nintendo america never made such a tweet today so it's just funny watching um all of the speculation and rumors and and all this about a nintendo direct this month kind of getting a little bit out of control which um again pretty safe bet that we're getting one this month when that's the big question but uh yeah i just kind of find it funny that there's stuff like this floating out there that's making people feel um a little bit more excited than maybe they should be i'm pretty excited by the way for new nintendo direct so i might say don't be excited it's just you know let's let's let's let's just wait a little bit obviously the the bare minimum we expect are the rest of the games this year to be re-advertised in it well just from there you know the new smash character i think is the one expectation most people have because it's supposed to come this year so it should be unveiled in a direct we would think doesn't have to be they have unveiled them outside of directs but you would think it's going to be unveiled in this direct beyond that it's anyone's guess what they're going to show so um i i think that you know i want to give some some nintendo fans a lot of you guys that watch my channel some credit although we are obviously incredibly hyped for a new direct um we're also seem to be a lot more in control i feel like the overhypedness of the switch pro rumor mill kind of started making fans go look obviously we're probably getting a direct but let's like chill a little right like that's not allow ourselves to get way up here so like when it's not what we want it to be um you know that that we get super disappointed still going to happen of course but i feel like at least in my community we've been a lot more in control of our emotions when it comes to stuff like this but i'm still incredibly excited for it um but yeah i i feel like obviously uh we're we're more willing to just take in the information consider the possibilities and then we just let happen we'll let let what happen happen you know hey this platform back here i'm getting one day one just for me too i'm not just i'm not just selling it i actually play in handheld quite a bit and i don't even have an OLED screen in my house besides my phone so it'll be really cool uh just to be able to have that you know at my disposal plus uh you know my switch is gotten a little beat up and this might just be the switch i let my children use sometimes as you know i'll i'll obviously get the OLED one just kind of a lockdown for me but anyways folks thank you so much for tuning in i am with andi rubber jats from the nintendo prime i've had a lot of fun making this video today um and yeah i did a weird thing i upgraded to windows 11 on my editing computer my new the new one that was just kind of sent to me even then customized uh really weird thing about that i don't really know what the point of the update why it's so weird i i don't really know what's going on but anyways that's it for like after you guys today thank you so much for tuning in and i'll catch you in the next video
