 Here's the season to watch Nintendo Prime for la la la la la la la Okay, hey everyone welcome to another Nintendo Prime video and we're gonna be talking about the Nintendo switch in 2021 in particular the switch Pro in 2021 and why I think it's gonna happen and what the smoke is all leading to now We know Nintendo switch is probably gonna have a killer 2021 We know Zelda's 35th anniversary is coming up Metroid is 35th anniversary is coming up Pokemon snap is coming up We know about Bayonetta 3 that's been in the works Metroid Prime forward before it's been in the works Although I don't really think that's coming next year, but hey, we can all dream I think it's all 35th anniversary is coming. Maybe Breath of the Wild 2. Maybe not I have no idea there when you just see the game again before we could talk about it And obviously well, you don't really need to see the game. We just had higher words age of calamity I guess there's a lot of reasons you got to talk about Breath of the Wild 2 right now But none of it's because we have new information about the game. It's more so let's have some theories. Let's have some speculation But we also know like Monster Hunter Rise coming next year We have obviously a new Super Mario 3d world which is a Wii U port with the additional content of Bowser's Fury so that should be interesting I don't know how much new content if it's just one world if it's you know one world with eight levels I we've no idea what's gonna happen there But I am really really really excited because there's been a lot of rumors for switch pro over the years And it feels like when we're about to hit the fourth year of switch Which happens on March 31st of or I shouldn't say March 31st March 3rd of 2021 That is exciting times because it's about the time that we should get a true revision I'm not talking about the red box switch, which is one of these three boxes back here or the switch light I'm talking about like a new Nintendo 3ds a DSi a PlayStation 4 Pro or an Xbox one raw I mean we I had the Xbox series acts right here. So I mean I'm all about that exactly the one X right there Dude, I'm just becoming a Microsoft show these days, right? Where's my PlayStation 5? I mean I smashed the PlayStation 3 with a sledgehammer remember that Anyways It's about time for a switch pro and we've had reports and rumors about it practically for years If you go back to 2019 I think that's when we really got our first legit possible information about a switch row And that is because Nintendo had a public the announced partnership with sharp for Ixo displays. This is important because Ixo displays are one of the newer display technologies out there that are starting to get implemented in higher end Smart devices and they basically allow for higher resolution with lower power drop better color accuracy higher frame rates all that jazz High refresh rates. I should say the frame rates are determined by the hardware inside Not the screen although the screen has to have the refresh rate to display higher frame rates So they're whatever the point is it is a great technology that can improve the battery life of switch while giving you a better screen So that is really really cool and nearly bezel-less type display for screen technology But we haven't seen Nintendo actually use it and all of the current you know when the switch light came out We thought maybe when the revision switch came out, you know the red box switch We thought maybe the version 2 turns out not they're still not using that display technology now Nintendo Notably has opened up a new Manufacturing line with sharp now sharp is partially owned by Foxconn Which is running one of Nintendo's other manufacturing lines But the point is that sharp is not wholly owned by Foxconn and is the makers of the Ixo technology Is this manufacturing line which we presumed was created to keep up with the man for switch? Is it actually exclusively pumping out Ixo displays pumping out Nintendo switch pros? It I mean it kind of adds up because that Ixo display thing isn't even a rumor It's a legally binding contract that publicly exists Nintendo has a contract for those displays whether or not they ever use that contract is a completely another story But again, they had sharp open up a new manufacturing line They're the makers of that kind of adding up here We have reports obviously from Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal over the years about new screens coming about New controllers may be coming Particularly about the ability to output to 4k now whether it's just the ability to stream 4k like a 4k Hulu 4k Netflix in this case 4k Hulu 4k YouTube because it was the only video programs on the switch in North America anyways Actually, not even North America in the US Hulu is not available worldwide It's interesting to see if we start to get Disney plus and others because now that Disney basically owns Hulu Kind of makes sense to get a Disney plus at least I don't know I don't know what the contract disputes are there, but it could just be that. Hey look We're gonna include a 4k upscaler. Maybe there's gonna be a new dock technology and we're gonna get 4k upscaling Maybe we are gonna get the latest and greatest tech We've heard that from Nintendo themselves from Shin Turra for a cow was saying we are working on the latest and Greatest technology looking at battery life at five to six hours for future future systems So hey, are we going to end up getting a really really powerful switch that uses DLSS 2.0 to hit those 4k resolutions Supporting the 4k dream. I don't know what I do know is we now have possibly new information that a switch pro is coming because Nintendo seems to be Potentially discontinuing the Nintendo switch dock and they might have started in a particular big market for them in the UK Let me reach over with my go-go gadget arm to grab the reddit thread So this user on reddit says the 2019 Nintendo switch dock switch dock since 2019 the Nintendo switch dock has been out of stock in the UK till this day It remains out of stock so I reached out to the Nintendo UK support to see what they had to say on the matter This is the discussion dear said 40. Thank you for contacting us and placing an inquiry a member of our Nintendo customer support team Has looked into your inquiry and added a response for your records Your original query was when will the switch docks that be available to purchase again? The product has been out of stock for some time in the UK Whereas in the US Japan and Europe it's been readily available since the products release can the dock be available once again It's important for us users to want to be able to have a switch dock in every room that has a TV a dock for traveling Or just as a backup after further investigation. We can confirm the following dear said thanks for getting in contact with Nintendo I am really sorry, but we have discontinued the Nintendo switch dock set in the UK Therefore the UK store will no longer stack this on our site I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused if you require any further information or assistance Please feel free to contact a member of our support team via your account kind regard Sophie Nintendo official UK store This means for those that live in the UK and want to switch dock They need to import by used or go third-party and we all know there has been issues with third-party docks over the years And some people being fearful of trusting them. It's actually become much better at this point than it was back in 2017 So it's a lot safer to use third-party docks than it once was especially newer Manufactured third-party docks, but again, I understand if there's some concern because switch has a kind of strange Out of spec power delivery system for USBC. I get it. No one wants to break their system. So I'm left here wondering What does this all mean like this is just the UK right we're not talking about them Discontinuing manufacturing of the Nintendo switch dock. I mean, they still got a bundle it in with Nintendo switches So they're clearly not done making the dock But are they slowly starting with the UK and potentially maybe US in 2021? Are they gonna start making less and less of these Nintendo switch docks available to purchase outside of buying a bundled switch? And I say bundled switch because if they get rid of the ability to buy these readily which by the way Speaking as a customer in the United States It actually hasn't meant that easy to buy one of these brand new for most of this year It's been very short in supply most retail outs aren't even carrying it anymore So Arguably even though this is a UK situation It might have already started in the US where they might have at some point this year Stopped stocking it now. It's not a hot ticket item in the first place So you can say oh, maybe it makes sense to stop offering it But hey, I've got multiple switch docks in my home And there's gonna be other people that would like to as well that don't want third-party docks. Yes It's kind of a niche grab, you know, it's not like when people want an extra controller That's gonna be more commonly purchased But it is something that there will be a subset of consumers that want so the Nintendo official store should offer it But what if it's going out of manufacturing because they're working on a brand new switch and this new switch this switch Pro won't be compatible with that dock So why sell extra docks where people have a switch problem? I think they could just plop it in and be good to go What if it's not compatible what if it's not compatible because the dock is different the power delivery is different different the Chipset inside it that outputs to 4k is different What if something's different with the dock that makes us so hey Why are we selling these extra docks that people aren't gonna be able to use? They're only gonna be able to use it with the og switch and this obviously brings out What else what other cross incompatible are like old joycon not gonna be able to be used with the switch pro The pro controller I presume will be okay. It's cuz it's just a Bluetooth thing They could easily make that work, but are there gonna be other switch accessory? Oh, you know is ring fit adventure suddenly not gonna work with it because it the ring the ring is not made for Whatever new joycon they're gonna use or are they gonna use the same joycon shell? But improve the parts inside that's a whole another possibility as well So again, there's a lot of things here a lot of smoke a lot of interesting reports out there And I feel like we are on the cusp of it being announced now Yesterday's rumor which whether or not you like the source or not. I think it's a really weird strange source I'll put a link down in the description to that They kind of basically say what I've been feeling this whole time is that when the calendar flips to 2021 We're gonna start seeing leaks and rumors coming out about the switch pro again because I firmly believe Nintendo plans to announce this platform Sometime in the first three months of 2021, but Nate why not announce it now? I mean holidays they weren't gonna have it ready for the holidays Why put it up for the holidays? Why go ahead to head with PlayStation 5 and Xbox series XB already see how hard it is to get Those platforms. It's actually extremely hard to get a switch But Nate why release a new switch when it's so hard to get the current switch. It's called maintaining momentum You want to maintain momentum? Consistently they're not they're not gonna come out with the switch pro and then just stop selling these switches over here Or stop selling a switch light. They're going to keep selling them. That's not the problem They want to provide a premium option that sets them up for the future when the new Nintendo 3ds came out folks The Nintendo 3ds was basically or you're selling the best. It's ever sold at that time It was peaking in terms of sales at that point then the new Nintendo 3ds came out and the peak went even higher So what did Nintendo looks at? Oh, we're gonna sell 24 26 million or so switches in this fiscal year But next fiscal year with the switch pro introduced could we sell 25 26 30 million switches combined across switch switch light and switch Pro apps a freaking Lutley so Nintendo will be looking at as why are we going to let our momentum peak and then you know Maybe even though I think switch is gonna do well next year even without a switch pro Why let that momentum go to a point where it just starts to diminish why not while the systems hot Strike, you know, they always say strike while the iron is hot with the iron is scorching for switch Why not strike now before the next gen height? Really gets in the full cycle and those systems become readily available to purchase and let people know Hey, look if you have a switch get excited because we have a new exciting switch that if you care about better frame rates If you care about a better screen less bezel you care about better joy kinds you care about this care about x y and z whatever Nintendo AR functionality they might throw in the in as well, you know after they did the Mario Kart live I won't throw a pass in the advertised more AR functionality I think that Nintendo is going to give us a reason to stay excited about switch as these next gen platforms become more readily available to purchase And we obviously get more next-gen games the halo infinance of the world the forbidden West all of that's cross gen Yes, so yeah, it's just something to consider. I think Nintendo is clearly setting things up to be this way I think January We're actually probably going to finally hear about a switch pro and it also might be the same time We hear about say, I don't know breath of the wild to I'm I'm just throwing it out there that like I keep feeling that Nintendo is going to kind of hype up switch pro with breath of the wild to try to repeat that 2017 Banger of breath of the wild and switch combined together, but we'll see again We could talk for days about what the switch pro is going to be how much power powerful It's going to be are they're going to be exclusive games is Nintendo going to abandon the og switch family News flash that family is going to be crossing 80 million Nintendo is not abandoning it all their games including breath of the wild to are going to be cross platform Even if it came over to switch pro switch pro is not a new generation thing think PlayStation 4 pro think Xbox one x I think new Nintendo 3ds 99% of the library is going to be backwards compatible to the old system So I'm not worried about that, but I get it whenever something new comes you worry about well What happens to what I just bought this holiday? I just bought that Mario Kart 8 bundle. What the hell don't worry. You'll be able to play games later from the next three years You're good. You're good. You ain't gonna have to worry about like 2023 2024 when the next Gen Nintendo system whatever it is comes to market and then it might not have Support anymore. Anyways, let me know what you think about this down in the comments below Where am I red how festive for the season kind of reorganized my backdrop? It's like not organized for presentation purposes anymore It's just organized because I have a lot of crap and I have more crap I need to put the shelves are already filling up. I'm gonna have to get more shelves This is kind of like my console box graveyard at this point, you know You see the three switch boxes Xbox one X my motherboard box here from my computer Xbox one X that's actually that aces thing if you're wondering what the hell is that ace of box That's actually my router Let me see I got all my games now which are directly behind me. So now you like they do even own games I mean yes, let me move the mic Yes, you see you see that's all my games. So we got like DS and 3ds games We got GameCube games. We got one we game sin and punishment. Hell. Yeah We got obviously our switch collection there. Then we got some Xbox and we got some PC And well got a PlayStation 2 game in a sleeve somewhere. It's not in that collection I think it's up on that very very top shelf. So I kind of reorganized this got the LED Lights are working. Obviously it's a little strange because like this doesn't look as bright as Over here. I don't really know why that is I got this weird mic stand that keeps falling on me because it just doesn't like me. I don't know the weight distributions all messed up Anyways, let me go what you guys think about this new setup me standing up for videos more I want to be standing more for my videos using my backdrop a bit more There'll be times when I'll sit down at my got a desk over here We'll be tearing apart unboxing things. We'll use that sometimes. I have a green screen right now The green screen is pretty much down. I'm thinking of just taking the green screen down. I don't really Have much use for it right now. I'm so be my way I kind of leave the green so much like I'm hoping I'd bring back prime news I'm starting to think if I'm gonna do prime news I might just get one of those Like Elgato green screens that you can like leave on the floor and then just You know pop it up and then I can stand in front of it versus a whole wall I think it's a waste of space plus. I could do something really cool with this wall over here. It's got some It's got some stickers on it from Nintendo, but I think I'm thinking of getting some nano leafs. I don't know when I'm gonna get those but And doing like a whole LED wall back there. It's gonna be really cool It's gonna look way cooler than the lighting back here Anyways, thank you guys so much for tuning in. I am the Tanner over dance from Nintendo Prime and I'll catch you in the next video
