 Well, folks, it's the last day of September, and you guys had to have known that on the last day of September that no surprise I'm going to be talking about Nintendo Switch 2 again. Now, it is because we do have some additional information today about games coming to the system and maybe games not coming to the system, coming from a bunch of reliable insiders that have really good track records. And so that's always exciting to talk about, but obviously we're talking about a system that hasn't come out yet. So you have to take everything with the appropriate amount of skepticism and not necessarily take what we talk about with Nintendo Switch 2 as facts. I think a lot of you guys already know this. It's okay to be excited. It's okay to be hyped. It's okay to have your Hopium and your Copium, but you need to remember that, hey, we don't actually know anything until Nintendo and these third-party companies tell us, but what we do know is a pretty good idea of expectations for this platform. And we have more of those expectations set today. So before I dive into this, I want to remind you that we are in a road to 150,000 subscribers. I would appreciate it if you would subscribe to the channel, drop a like if you're enjoying the video and you know what? Go ahead and smash that bell icon to be notified of all future uploads and live streams. Alright guys, let's dive into our first little bit here and this comes from a post by Tom Henderson who is the owner of Insider Gaming which has become slowly over time one of the most reliable places online for video game leaks out there and they have a really really good track record. Now Tom Henderson himself used to be a journalist at several different really big outlets over the years. That's how he garnered all his connections and spun off to start his own thing. Now he posted this over on X and he said, really excited for the Nintendo Switch 2 and its tech. You'll see, quote, launching on Xbox Series X slash S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, end quote, a heck of a lot in 12 to 18 months. Now of course this isn't saying the system is going to be here, you know, like launching a year from now but what it is saying is that hey, a year to a year and a half from now a ton of third party games are going to be coming to not just the next generation systems and PC but also Nintendo's next generation system in Nintendo Switch 2. This bodes very well for third party support and that is something that this system might be able to check a box above what Nintendo Switch was able to do. Yes, on Switch we do have a number of third party titles, way more than we got on Wii U and arguably even a little bit better than we got on Wii since we were getting dumb down versions of games on Wii. However, it is really nice to see that we're going to be getting the support. We already know Call of Duty is coming as soon as that deal closes on October 18th but yeah it's going to be really exciting to see what this means and again for launch timing all this really tells me is hey, the system should be out at least 12 months from now. Well 12 months from now is September or I guess you could look at October at this point so yeah it's going to launch sometime before then and that is really, really exciting. Now diving further into this, a few days ago we talked about Necro Felipe who is the owner of Nintendo Universal and you guys know his track record at this point. We've talked about him a ton and he's been right every step of the way whether it was with Nintendo Switch 2 information which again pretty scant at the moment but at least he's part of that. He's been right about Nintendo Directs and games that were going to be in Directs and games coming to Switch that weren't announced in the past and what the guy has built up a pretty solid track record one that you should really pay a lot of attention to and he went out of his way you know a few days back to say that Far Cry 7 was going to be day and date on Nintendo Switch 2 and yes nobody's refuting that and that is really, really good news but we saw him kind of hint at Monster Hunter because someone asked him hey is this going to be like Monster Hunter and be on Switch 2 just like all the other platforms and he just said yes which you can interpret that many different ways obviously the way we interpret it was oh he's saying Monster Hunter is going to be there but he really wasn't like putting a stamp on it and the words never actually came out of his mouth or in this case his fingertips well he went over to family boards and stated the following next mainline Monster Hunter to be released on the next generation Switch or Switch NG yes so what he's saying is yes that next Monster Hunter game is indeed going to Nintendo Switch 2 now what's interesting is we actually have at least some sort of idea of when or what this game is going to be because there was a Capcom leak some time ago that has proven 100% correct and it comes from internal documents and they included this following image here which you're seeing dates all the way back to the end of 2020 and you see Monster Hunter Rise on there Resident Evil Village stories too Resident Evil Outrage is listed as well which by the way Outrage has still not been released or talked about so very interesting again these are all from internal documents at Capcom so this is like a legitimate thing when you notice when you scroll forward all the way to fiscal year 23 and again this is 2023 going into 2024 they run the same fiscal year Nintendo does which is April to the end of March of the following year so they had Monster Hunter 6 listed as quarter to a fiscal year 23 now obviously we are well past quarter to a fiscal year 23 we're in the midst of quarter three or just about to enter quarter three and Monster Hunter 6 still hasn't been announced now clearly the plan was forward to come out this fall but the interesting part here is when you think about this the Monster Hunter anniversary the 20th anniversary is happening in March of 2024 now what's really cool about that is there's also a rumor out there that hey according to Capcom's own financial call hey you know what we're gonna have a game releasing in March that's gonna sell in the millions that seems to be the interpretation some people have argued maybe the interpretation is they're going to announce a game that's gonna sell in the millions in March either way they literally have a 20th anniversary of Monster Hunter page live online that's saying March of 2024 so there's going to be Monster Hunter something whether it's announcing this game or releasing this game now since the game was actually originally planned for this year it releasing in March would want to still get it in before the end of fiscal year 2023 and obviously give it a shot at releasing in March which is also when people have rumored that hey the Nintendo Switch 2 might be coming out in March and what if this is a major launch game from third-party companies on the platform again I'm not saying Nintendo Switch 2 is coming in March the March date was floated out there from Gamescom we have yet to hear the rumor mill coming out of Tokyo Game Show we'll probably hear something about the Tokyo Game Show stuff apparently Nintendo had well I'll say this we have heard some things people who attended the business area of Tokyo Game Show have already pointed out that Nintendo had a massive like way larger than normal presence in the business area of Tokyo Game Show we all know what that's about right there they're courting those Japanese developers to make games for Nintendo Switch 2 that's why it's much bigger than their typical presence at the business area which again isn't open to the public so you're not going to see images and screenshots of people putting out cell phone pics on here's Nintendo's booth no it's not publicly accessible it's literally just for developers behind the scenes that being said I'm really excited to see what this means obviously Monster Hunter he's very he's basically Monster Hunter 6 is coming that doesn't mean Monster Hunter Rise is not Monster Hunter 6 I know some people felt like maybe that was Monster Hunter 6 they're not considering it to be Monster Hunter 6 is this going to be a Monster Hunter World 2 situation are they literally just going to call this Monster Hunter 6 and it's more like traditional Monster Hunter is it something else entirely we don't really know but what is clear is this is definitely the next Monster Hunter game because as you can see there's nothing else on the list stating Monster Hunter heading all the way through fiscal year 24 so at this point we just have to presume that this is either the game plan to come on March it's supposed to sell millions or they're gonna unveil it in March whatever the case might be this game seems to be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 according to Necro Felipe now we're moving on beyond that a while back we reported on a leak from a previously credible leaker called I am hero 2 who came back because someone was impersonating him and in that leak it included a Final Fantasy 7 remake you know and not just saying that it was coming to Nintendo Switch 2 but that it looked impressive in fact technically when you look back on the leak it doesn't really say it's coming to Nintendo Switch 2 what it says is it looks as good as the PlayStation 5 version on Nintendo Switch 2 which really just could mean they tested the game on Nintendo Switch 2 that's different than bringing a game to Nintendo Switch 2 you know what I mean that you could test a lot of things but testing is not we plan to bring it although typically you're testing things you are thinking about bringing anyways the point is the inference that people took from that is that Final Fantasy 7 remake some version of it is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 well Nate the hate hasn't really agreed with this at the entire time and he put out some clarifying details over on family boards where he said the following the final fantasy 7 remake is not a current plan could it happen eventually sure is in an active plan at this moment no a switch to release exist in the same way an Xbox release does if Square wants to do it they can and will but no such plan exists at present in other words don't expect it folks but it's not impossible if they do decide to do it one day also nobody really knows how long the platform exclusivity runs for Sony in the first place so at this point it could come we don't know we're all just guessing and throwing out our hopes and dreams I suppose so at this point I probably wouldn't expect Final Fantasy 7 remake to be on switch it to switch to Nintendo Switch 2 anytime soon but I do suspect that they might bring it someday just like they might bring it to Xbox time will tell on that front and I think it might be a little bit more enticing on Nintendo Switch 2 if the install base is growing really rapidly because that's the mistake many third party companies made last time around that they waited and waited and waited and oh we're not gonna support switch and next thing you know it's the biggest platform in the world and there's a lot of regret that they didn't put their full support behind it I think companies are gonna jump on much sooner this time and of course Tom Henderson's tweet sort of agrees hey a lot of these multi-platform PlayStation Xbox and PC only games in the future are also going to be on switch to anyways guys take all this for what you will let me know your thoughts on all of it down in the comments below I'm really excited as always you can stay tuned here for all the latest on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo in general we might even have a Mario Wonder news bit going up later because we have a bunch of new information on Mario Wonder of course again if you don't want any new information don't watch that video but if you do awesome catch you guys in the next video
