 Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Nintendo Prime Podcast. I believe episode 56. Maybe. I don't really know, because I'm not actually here. Just as you have a figment of your imagination, the show isn't real. I'm probably on some tropical island being chased down by Captain Jack Sparrow, because I stole all this rum. So, I'm here, I guess, talking in two places at once. It's magic. Movie magic. I am your host, as always, at the End of Rebel Jants. To my, oh wait, Eric's not here yet again. I don't really know where he is, to be completely honest. I know we bought a new laptop, which you might see on the next episode. I helped him make that purchase that he's not happy, because Best Buy lied to him on when it was going to be there, but he should have read the email. He should have read the email. The website's not always the most reliable on time estimations. The emails usually give you what the info you need. Anyways, he'll have it for the next episode. But still, we do have our returning, basically, a co-host at this point. Mr. Mike Perez from Nintendo Academy. Where in the invincible shirt? How's it going, bud? Going on, everybody. Being good, good, good. Yeah, feeling invincible here with the shirt. I actually got this shirt from a long time ago. The first mega super duper giveaway. One of the sponsors gave me the shirt. Man, we went to this day. That's awesome. That's great. I don't get sponsors anymore. It's just... No, you don't get sponsors. You get mega sponsors. Got Capcom to send you calls for some... Okay, so yeah, Prime Gaming Fest obviously had a lot of companies sending stuff. A lot. Well, Prime Gaming Fest is over and now none of them taught to me, so I don't know if they were happy with the show. That's okay. That's okay. We'll see what happens next year. I'll give it some time to cool off. But I mean, I might get a review code of what should we call it? The Fire Emblem Warriors 3 hopes. In fact, at the time that this episode is live, the review code could be literally sitting in my inbox and I wouldn't even know. So, you know, there is that. It'll probably just go to Yulia, who just really likes Fire Emblem Warriors anyways. But yeah, it's kind of a weird episode, guys, because this episode was obviously recorded before I went on my vacation. Those who don't know, I'm on a cruise. I'm out in the middle of the Bahamas somewhere doing God knows what with Yulia. My children are with my sister for the week. So it's a bit of an interesting episode since it was recorded ahead of time. So we can't really be recording like what's the latest and greatest stuff to talk about for this week because we have no idea. Maybe a Nintendo Direct has happened and you guys are waiting for us to dive deep on that amazing Breath of the Wild 2 trailer and the reveal of Pikmin 4 and F-Zero returning. And unfortunately, we can't talk about any of it because we don't actually know if it happened. That's what's pro right now, man. That's what's pro? They even called it the pro. What the hell, man? We went right on the name the whole time. Crazy. That's insane. So we obviously can't talk about that if that happened or if it's about to happen tomorrow because we have no idea. Obviously, we still know at this point of recording about the rumor date of the 29th, which I really hope is true because then I actually get to cover it. It's a great way to end the night or a great way to end the night, great way to end the month. And obviously, our next podcast episode would be all about it. Yeah. So it actually would line up really, really nice until it lands on a Wednesday. But unfortunately, we have no idea. We are not insiders ourselves. So we don't have the privy to the details on this unless Mike is hiding something over there from me. And Charles Matton, he just got him on the phone and I'm like, dude, I'm in voice acting this new game that's like popping off on the 29th. Checking out. Not yet. Not yet. I'll see what I can get, what info I can get the end of the month. I'll get the meeting I'm having as before the direct. So let's see whatever we can we can get from there. Okay, basically what he's saying is while I'm away, he should be watching his channel because he's going to have all the details that my channel won't because I can't cover news for a week. It's going to be really, really strange. I don't even know what videos are coming out yet at this point. There's a couple of discussion videos I sort of have recorded, but whether or not I ever get them edited and ready to go for next week, I have no idea. There will not be daily content you probably realize at this point. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first content you have seen since the live stream when I left on Friday night. So I wouldn't be surprised that's the only content you get all week. I have no idea. Obviously a bit of a blow to the momentum of the channel because we were going really well, but hey, what I can say is we are trying to crack that 80,000 subscriber mark. So we got a really cool giveaway plan for that. I don't know if you guys have heard giving away a Breath of the Wild sword, a master sword, a weathered down master sword. Yeah, the actual master sword. I called Nintendo up and I got a deal done there. That is crazy, man. Poor sell. Poor Link, you have to defend himself some other way. Maybe get a franchise. Unfortunately, they won't give me anything else. So I had a purchase second hand replicas of the Highland Shield and the Deku Shield. I mean, technically they claim they still had the Deku Shield, but at this point sort of rotted out. I mean, it has made a wood. So I suppose I probably want to touch that at this point. But hey, that is a giveaway we have going on. These aren't cheap things, but I really don't care. There is no price on giving back to the community. So 80K. Let's see if we can throw it. It'd be sweet if we somehow pull it off before I get back, even though I'm not posting videos. That would be very, very strange. And make me wonder if the best thing for my channel is for me not to post anything. Just a podcast on Wednesday. That's it. Nobody wants to watch anything else. I'll send my little people down this way so they can keep the channel up and going where you go. Also shout out to all of you guys watching right now. Last week's episode was our number one most viewed podcast in channel history. So that is really, really great. I haven't told Eric yet. I don't know how I break the news to him that the most viewed podcast episode is one who he wasn't there. But it just so happened to be our number one viewed podcast ever on the channel. So thank you guys so much for tuning in. I think we had over 3,400 people watching here live. It's also the number one organically viewed, aka not promoted heavily by giveaway or anything. Reupload on the podcast channel at over 200, 300 views there. I don't know what it is at this point, but I say organic. It's not the most watched episode on that channel, but a lot of those more watched episodes that correct 1,000 views were due to a giveaway that was promoting watching episodes. There's nothing promoting watching anything anymore. So it's an organically well viewed episode. It's also one of our most listened to audio versions. Strangely enough, not the most listened to. We have an audio version like back in 2018 with over 1,000 listens. I don't know what the hell happened there. I have no clue because the actual like video version of it did even crack 200 views. So I don't know why the audio version blew up, but hey, thank you so much for listening to that really weird episode back in 2018. So yeah, this is our most viewed and listened to collective episode ever over 4,000 listens and watches that last week. That's incredible. I don't suspect this one's going to be up there not because you guys aren't watching, but that was a two and a half hour episode. This is going to be close to an hour or so. Yeah, that does affect some of the viewership, at least from the live perspective, maybe not the reupload because this is going to be weird because this is going to be premiering like a live stream on my channel. And then it's already set to go live on the other channel tomorrow. And the audio version might have already been posted before I even left because there's no way for me to schedule it. So the like literally the audio version of this episode might be the first thing up. It's weird. This is weird. So maybe you've already heard all of this. I have no idea. That's true. Anyways, thank you guys so much for listening. It was great. So in terms of what have you been playing lately? Well, it's only been a couple of days since the last episode. So I have not been playing anything, but I know what I'm going to be playing. And that is going to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Shredder's Revenge. Yeah. I am playing that on the plane flight there and on the plane flight back. All the reviews are out there. I've heard a few, a few staggering opinions here and there. All I know is when RGT-85 is out there calling us one of the greatest games of all time, I know they did something right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's, that's what I'm going to probably be talking about in the next episode. But for right now, I can't. So I haven't really put anything between now and then because I've just been getting ready to go on my vacation. So, Mike, what have you been playing, I guess, lately in the last couple of days? Well, gotta go with the same exact game. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Shredder's Revenge. And my first impression, because I'm actually working on also reviewing the game, dude, I just got to tell you, this is, this is what I got to tell you. And I'm not going to give you anything about the game. I'm going to tell you about what I feel. Okay. Sure. They did it. They did it. They, they, they managed to take me back to my childhood and make me feel the same exact way I felt the very first time I played a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on arcade. Okay. They, they, from the moment that the theme song played, you know, during the gameplay, I played, I played at least three or four of the levels. Man, they managed to take me back, bro. Everything, everything about the game is, is classic and new at the same time. It's just beautiful. It's just. Yeah. I heard they, I heard like the intro animation and everything. It's like the best version of Ninja Turtles ever, like new and old at the same time. And with the music, they, they, they had the top tier artist, Wu-Tang Clan, supposedly making music for this. Like, I don't know what they did, but everybody is just raving on this. Like, I just felt like a kid, man. I felt like a kid when I was listening to that theme song, when I was, the visuals, the way they sound, I guess I know that they probably resung it, but the way they did it, man, I, they took me back. They literally took me back and it was, it was amazing. And I can't wait to get back, back on it and finish the game. You know, it's awesome. So that's all I'm going to say about the game because I know you saw it. Yeah. We, we, we got a cowabunga through this podcast so you can get back to it. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. When you come back, when you come back, if you're not stranded on a desert island, when you live, that we, I mean, that's not like a bad idea. I don't know if I mind being stranded. I mean, not, not for YouTube, but hey, for your, for your primates, you know. Yeah. A lot of you guys out there, I don't know if you, if you're missing me, I have no idea because I can't read the comments on this. Maybe, maybe I am, maybe that's a secret as I'm sipping my ties, chilling on a beach. I'm like, you know, let me just see what's going on with the live quick. You know that live mic and live Nate will be there somewhere in the chat. Probably. I know that this is a, I know when this event is happening. I know the time zone differences. I will probably be checking in on the chat just to see how you guys are feeling. That's awesome. So maybe, maybe then maybe the infamous other half of Nintendo Prime from his private island might tune into the chat. I have no, I don't know what that bastard's doing, but maybe I'll find him. I know it's some island out in the Bahamas. That's all, that's all I know. He's been there for two years. So maybe we'll find him. What? You talking about Eric? Oh no, no, no, no, no. There, there is, there is the, the, see, I'm Nate and then there's someone who's actually Nintendo Prime. So you might have the mic verse going on. I got, I got like two different Nintendo primes going on, but it's not a prime verse. I mean, we all exist in the same universe. Yeah. He's been, he's been coming in and super chatting little tiny amounts for years. Just a shit talk me for years, bragging about this island that he bought out in the Bahamas. Well, I'm out there. I'm going to try to find it. I don't know. I don't really control where the cruise ship goes. Just kind of hoping that, you know what, maybe it's close enough to one of our stops and hop on a little ferry, find out, I don't know why I didn't have a ferry, it's a private island. So, you know what? I have no idea. No idea. I would make, come on here, I'll come back old Canada. Yeah, who the hell knows? I mean, even now, I can tell you now, like, you guys are watching this video now. When I come back, the beard is dyed. It's not dyed at the moment because I'm dying it tomorrow. Yulia is also dyeing her hair. She's going like super blonde, but she used to do all the time. And then, you know, stopped after we had more kids because who can really keep up with it? And now she's going back to it because, hey, guess what? We're going to be kid free and she just wants to go back to the younger days. And I guess so am I, although I didn't have the beard in the younger days. But I guess it'll be what my beard would have looked like in my younger days. But what are you dying? It's a red? No, if it grows out all the way, it does get some red in it. But no, it's probably a dark brown, you know, which is what it mostly would have been if I had the same look like 10 years ago. Cool. So, I've had the look on my channel before, although sometimes I bought the wrong thing and it went full black, but you know, it's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It still looks all right. It just looks like I painted it down. Not a big deal. But I painted on beards. I got my beard dyed one time, man. I look like a freaking cartoon. Yeah. So, I've tried to find a place that will do it professionally. Yeah. It just doesn't exist in my area. If I was in a bigger city, there are places that will do it for you. And what's nice when they do it is they get it all perfect. There's nothing on your skin. They get it perfect, so it's just the hair. And then it looks really, really good. You know, if you ever see Hollywood actors that go, yeah, they probably agree. They got all that taken care of by professionals and it looks really damn good. You can get that done. My area is too small, so we don't have any ways that does that. So, I have to do it myself, which is fine. But in order to get it to look like, I can get it so it's only where my hair is, but to make it look natural, you have to sit there with like an alcohol scrub and sit there and just reef on your face for like an hour to get it off the skin in between the hairs and it's just, yeah, it's a pain in the ass. But it does look really good when it's done. But man, it's a pain in the ass. We'll see how it looks. We'll see how it looks. The hair will be technically dyed a little bit. It's not going to really look much different, though. And I'm wearing a hat most of the time. You guys probably won't even notice that part. But it's just going to make sure it all kind of matches, because it'll be a little bit darker than it is now. But anyways, by the way, so if you see that camera, that is not, that's me. That's not the other, that's not the other prime. That's me. That being said, I have no idea. At this point, I've probably posted a few pictures on Twitter or some other places, you know, thanking all of you guys yet again for me being on this amazing vacation. It was literally all paid for out at YouTube, out of all of our super chats and all of our memberships and the ad revenue. Granted, we technically paid for most of it over a year ago, but, you know, COVID's a fun thing. So that being said, that being said, we have a couple of topics to talk about. The first one is interesting, because we know the Mario movies coming next year. We know, I don't think we know every voice actor, but we know all of the major voice actors. There'll probably be some minor roles that we won't find out until the credits roll, but we know all the big names because they're advertising the big names. There ain't a Jack Black in there. And, you know, so some other people that that might be in a new movie coming out soon. And Charles Matinee, like he's going to be playing a small role here as well, just to make sure they pay homage to the, the OG Mario voice actor. And by the way, voice actor of many other characters, not just Mario. So it's kind of cool that we are getting that movie. Again, we still know breaking details on it as far as I'm aware, unless something dropped while I was gone. Then I really apologize that they dropped the Mario movie trailer and whatever. We're not really talking about the Mario movie though. So it's okay. So there was an article that came out last year. Miyamoto just was talking in general about the Mario movie and how it's almost done. Ironically, it was delayed, but it's almost done. And then there he mentioned that there was going to kind of sort of be almost a Nintendo universe of movies. He didn't use that terminology, but we all know that's what fans will end up doing. The Nintendo verse. Yeah. And that there was going to be other characters and other IPs exploring movies and even TV potentially. And we know, we know like the obvious one right now is the rumored Donkey Kong movie, which, you know, that would be led by Seth Rogen as DK. That's fine. I think a lot of people feel like that's probably going to end up being the next movie after this. Like if this one's actually done right now and they're just timing it for a different spot, then they're probably already working on a DK movie. And that's fine. Like that's cool. That makes sense. So there are two little like the OG characters, Nintendo arcade days. I get it. But he made it sound like there was going to be a lot more of these. And then obviously they would tack on them one at a time. I think it was just temporary expectations that don't expect this to be like Marvel or they'll drop like two or three movies in a year. Like that's just not what they're going to do. And then also multiple TV shows, at least not now. I mean, if it does blow up really, really huge, Sonic has gotten pretty big. I have a feeling they're making Sonic 3 while making the Knuckles movie. Same time. I that's one of those that like at the beginning here, they need to see the revenue and all that come in before they can, you know, dedicate more teams and more time to really making it all at once. But for now, they're going to be taking it one, one IP at a time. And it makes me wonder like, what IPs do you want to see them go? I mean, obviously we assume maybe some more of the Mario stuff because, you know, Mario then DK, maybe they spin off and do a Princess Peach movie or something. But is there anything else? Because like you talked about movies and TV didn't really go much into animation. But obviously we know this movie is animated. Will there be any live action potential stuff? Where do you think they're going with the whole future of this stuff after say the Mario and DK movies? Yeah. And that's a good question because it all depends on what happens in this Mario movie because if it bombs, DK might never come out. I mean, I mean, the thing is that Donkey Kong is in this movie. So we have that we have the monkey in this movie. So, you know, what type of movie is this? Is this an in Mario vs. movie or is this like a Mario movie kind of Mario is his is his we know DK's role. If you remember that that supposed Mario movie leak. Yeah. So if that leak is true, then we already know his role and it's a little bit disappointing, to be honest. I really didn't see that the leak. Oh, I don't want to go too much into it just in case it's true. But I'll just say that basically he meets DK and a bunch of other monkeys down in the sewers. Yeah, it's a really weird way to put DK in the movie. It's fine. I'm sure it'll be funny. I'm sure they have it all worked out, you know, whatever, like Mario is going on a pipe. Okay, cool, whatever. But I don't know. It was really it was really weird. What like, I'm sure you guys if you guys are wondering what I'm talking about, literally just look up Mario movie plot leak and the general gist of it is I don't know if it's been proven false yet and if it hasn't that it came from a prescreening which that happens with test audiences. So it's possible that it's true. It's also possible that it's not true. I don't know. We talked about it on the channel a while back. But yeah, again, we don't know if it's actually true and you know, it doesn't tell you everything. So I don't know, like they're clearly introducing DK in some way, which could lead to being spun off into his own movie. I mean, it depends of whether whether the deep dog come movie is a spin off out of this one or if it's its own origin could be an origin story too. Yeah, yeah. And then of course, I'm pretty sure it's going to be animated too. Yeah, that but you know, I mean, of course, Marvel set the stage for everybody to kind of look and this is how you do it, you know, kind of way. We have so many characters, so many IPs that are super incredibly amazing. Not all of them deserve branding movies. Some of them can be can be a series, you know, they could have a TV mini series on Netflix. Yeah, that is like a movie. You know what I mean? I'm the the major IPs Mario Pokemon Zelda. They they they mean I mean, Pokemon already had a movie. I'm not sure. Pokemon's got movies and anime shows already. So yeah, I'm not sure they're going to go down that route with Pokemon. Yeah, they have cameos with some cameos. Yeah. And whether they would if they are, let's say, building a Nintendo cinematic universe where it could kind of all connect together. Would they consider the the Pokemon Detective Pikachu movies as part of this or or completely separately? Yeah, but will they treat like because he's talked about, you know, you know, animation or live action, like live action animation. I mean, we've seen those combined in different ways. You know, Roger Rabbit and obviously Detective Pikachu and stuff, but like what would that would they cross over live action with the animation or would they just make it all animations or like I bring that up because personally as a big Zelda guy, I kind of don't want to see Zelda animated. I'd rather be a live action series. Yeah, me too. Me too. I think I think that's like the one IP and maybe maybe even that in Metroid possibly like the like the two IPs. I think that live action makes a ton of sense for you can get a whole sci fi thing going to get the full high fantasy and it could be incredible if done right. Yeah. Mario makes Mario makes a ton of senses animated. Ton of sense. Yeah. Yeah. But but if I see Zelda, like I see there's this HBO series, what's it called again? Game of Thrones Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. Also like like like a big giant massive production of a movie or or or a TV series. Dude, dude, can you imagine, you know, but then again, we have to see Link speak, which is not impossible. You know, Mario is going to be talking a ton and he's only ever said a few things. And the way he kind of does is that because he's made in the in like kind of a first person, he's you. Then, you know, I understand why Link doesn't talk is because he in a way, we're Link. We're there. I wrote an article on this a long time ago about like, guess what? Link's been speaking this entire time. Yeah. You just don't hear him because it's you. You can see like people ask him, Oh, what's your name? And also like, Oh, you're Link. He just told him his name. You just didn't hear him talk because you're thinking I'm Link. You're speaking for him. So like it's a gameplay mechanic, but Link isn't actually a mute, guys. He talks all the time. Holds conversations in the games. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even in Breath of the Wild, we see him moving his hand and his kind of gestures and everything like he's actually talking to somebody, but it's actually us. We're talking to them. That's why there's no voice so that we can kind of be the controlling force of Link. Yeah. That's why some fans are afraid to because like, even when they could admit that Link has talked, well, we've always been like, so like, how can we make it give him a voice because like, that's like going to match most of us. And it's like, Hey, you got to start. It's kind of like the Mario movie. Who would have thought the voice actor Mario would have been who he is. So you have to sometimes separate it out from here's the way that you view it in a game. This isn't a game. And I think that's best to try to separate the games from the movies and shows because the movies and shows need to be their own thing because the games don't translate to movies. It just it doesn't we've seen this a lot where they've tried to translate games to movies doesn't work. The best video game adapted stuff doesn't really follow the games. Yeah, as an example, even like the Witcher series. Yeah, it's following the books. So following the games, the books make a more compelling production than the games would. And that's with games that have an incredible story. So like, you know, even look at Sonic movies, so those aren't based off of the video games. So it's when can you throw rings and teleport anywhere? Like that's how Sonic works. But that's how they created their own thing. And that and it's loosely based. Like, you know, you have you have obviously Jim Carrey as Eggman. Like, yeah, the mustache looks a little bit like Dr. Eggman. Yeah, there's a loose connection to the games. But it's still its own thing. And I think that's what we're about to see with the Mario movie. And we would see with any live action Zelda or anything like it. We have to detach what we expect from games to the movies. And I think Sonic is just really paved the path to show that's how you do it. We have to create our own story, our own universe, and do our own thing loosely based on some of the some of the things in the games. Yeah, and that's why I think it's possible. It's very, very possible that even if the Mario movie is animated, it all depends on the way they animated and what's involved in the story that it can actually cross over with other characters in the future. If we have a massive massive Smash Brothers movies at the end, where the Nintendo universe is at stake, and they have to go into this tournament and mortal Mortal Kombat. Yeah, you know, with Smash Brothers, dude, every single Nintendo fan wants to see an ultimate Smash Brothers movie where all these characters come together. You know, I mean, something has to happen with the entire... Man, can you imagine that? Can you imagine? I don't even know how that, like, especially they make it like Smash Ultimate style and they're bringing in all those third party characters. Like how, yeah, how are you, how, how many voice actors you need, how many and how many studios, how much permission, how many different ways the money is going to be split. How, but you know what, it would be really, really, but like, it's kind of funny because Nintendo does sort of have it set up where, hey, all of our characters come together in this one thing that can be our Avengers. And we can, and we have multiple of those things. So we could have multiple Avenger style movies to technically, guys, the Smash Bros. series does have a story. Yeah. We don't know how many people know the story, but it does have a story. I don't know the story. Most people don't because it's very, it's more about the gameplay than anything, which is true of most of Nintendo's IPs. Yeah. But I mean, it doesn't have to be the, the first movie doesn't have to be Ultimate Smash Bros. It could be, it could be Smash Bros. Melee or something. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, or Smash 64. It's like eight major characters come together from different IPs. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So, so, yeah, you never know, man. I mean, it's, it's, that's the thing. It's all in the imagination of who makes it and who, who writes it and makes sure they do it right. And then whoever directs it does the right way to, I mean. And as I said, we see, we've seen animated crossover with, with live action before. You know, I'll never forget who frame Roger Rabbit. Like that was straight up just cartoon animation in the real world. And that, that was bad. That was, that was badass. Like I really enjoyed that. So that kind of proves that if you do it right, you could still have that sort of crossover, you know. Yeah. And even, even recently with the movie with Super Dale. No, yeah. Yeah. So, so people are a little iffy on that one, but yeah, that one was. I like that. I like that. I like the animation worked. They had a problem with the animations in the real world. That was all fine. The cameos, the ugly Sonic, man. There was a lot of, there was just more to punch lines. Static. Static. No, man. Bring it, bring it back to, bring it back to the Sonic that was never supposed to become a funny. That was, that was absolutely hilarious. Like, hey, look, they found a way to reuse that thing that they deleted. Yeah. That nightmare fuel. I want people clamoring for all these, a ugly Sonic series. Oh, yeah. Probably your debut on Netflix will probably be seeing my millions become number one for a week. Right. Right. Yeah. So, okay. So we can see DK coming off of it, you know, maybe Zelda, because it's really becoming a big deal. Yeah. And we've seen animated shorts before, like Pikmin and animated short series. Yeah. I see Pikmin as an animated series. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Animal Crossing. Yeah. Animal Crossing. Could like that do really well. Animal Crossing. I mean, billion ways you can run Animal Crossing is just people living their life, you know. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You make a drama out of that, the Tom Nook drama. Is that true? And does this place is a question? Will Nintendo offer a streaming service for their shows, like their actual shows in cinematic movies? It's interesting because they're going right now, they're using illumination and they have their own streaming service. So I think the Mario movie would probably just go there. But they got to think long haul. Pokemon is on their own stuff, but also goes to Netflix. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they probably at some point want to bring Pokemon into the fray and some sort of crossover. So it's going to be interesting to think like, what do they do? You know, do they just let it exist on these services, but also have a central service? Or do they Disney Plus? Hey, we're going to create our own service one day and no one else can have our stuff. Because that's what Disney did. They yanked everything. Yeah. Or they can go to one of these already streamers and they can have one portion to themselves. The Nintendo Cinematic Universe have their own little tab. Click on there. All their movies there. Just like, you know, Disney has Marvel and has Star Wars that can you click Disney Plus. They have all these different worlds. You have different IPs that you can go to. Yeah. Yeah. So they might sign a contract with one of these streaming services where they have their own section for Nintendo. I'll say this. I don't want Nintendo to launch a new service because them and online is just never, never again. Go with the people that know what they're doing. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to go to Disney. That's totally fine. It makes sense. You are partnered with Universal Studios. Like you should not only do something with them, they got their own services. You can put it on. You know, figure something out. I know right now Universal what's most of their properties out on Netflix. So it would be interesting if they just go the Netflix route. Because then they get also that pairs up nicely with Pokemon. I know Netflix would obviously love to get all the Nintendo characters locked in onto their, onto their, their IP. You know, if you have Sonic going Paramount Plus and stuff like, okay, let's get Nintendo stuff here. That would be a really big boom for Netflix who's looking for anything to help boost their stuff beyond their own content. Because Netflix is doing I think a pretty good job with their own content. But where they're struggling is they're losing everyone else to their own services. So to be able to like lock in something with Universal and get all the Nintendo stuff over would be. Do you think they're going to use Universal for all of it? Are they going to spread it around in multiple studios? No, I think so. I think so because they have a multimillionaire with Universal in the theme parks. They want to keep it all under the same family. And movies, you know, we can find movie merch in theme parks as well from the movies. So if Universal is doing all the distribution, I feel like Universal, what do they have, Peacock? Yeah, I think it's Peacock. Pretty sure. I'll double check. Yeah. So whatever. Yeah, I feel like more going to Peacock, if that's Universal's thing then than anything else, because Universal and Nintendo are becoming kind of, you know, kind of tight when it comes to to the thing. So it makes it makes it makes sense to me. Yeah. Peacock, new Universal films extremely exclusive. Yeah. Peacock is a new one. Some of their old ones are still on Netflix, it says, but all stuff moving forward from December on will be Peacock. So that's probably where Mario would go in this Peacock. No, I don't know how big Peacock is. It's a newer service, obviously. It's my go-to. It's my go-to. It's my go-to. Like more than Netflix, because there they have. They have the office. They got Parks and Rec. They got WWE. They got all the WWE shows there and everything. And I wonder what it's like right now. See, they're like the only ones I'm not subscribed to. Yeah. Which is strange. And yeah, they got. They got anything live on NBC as part of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So whenever, whenever, to me it's my go-to because I watch the office a lot. Oh, oh, they're doing the Hulu, the OG Hulu route. Hulu doesn't even do this anymore. You can watch stuff for free just with ads. Yeah, you can. Yeah. Yeah. And then you pay like four bucks to get the ad removed. Yeah. Five dollars to get limited ads. And then it's 10. It's completely ad-free. Plus you get to, because you don't, you don't gain the ability to download titles without the complete ad-free program. That's like their big thing is, hey, you get ad-free. Plus you can download and watch offline. But that's cool. I'm not the son of a peacock. And I didn't know it was actually free. What do you get with it? You also get 40,000 hours of hit movies, TV shows and more. There must be some stuff behind premium. Oh, like the US Open is behind premium. The Rutherford Falls is behind premium as well. Yeah. And then whenever there's a movie that goes straight to Peacock, there's a movie, like a brand new movie, like Firestarter, is a brand new movie that just came out there. I think the first month was locked behind and then it went over to the rest. Yeah. And so you also get next day access to current NBC and Bravo hits. So like current shows running on television the day after the episode debut is you can watch it. Exactly. That's what I like about it. Because when I can't watch a show on TV, nobody watches a show on TV live anymore. That much. That is crazy. Well, they do have a free. So I mean, this is OG Hulu. This is what made Hulu blow up in the first place was you could pay, but you could also just watch everything with ads. And that was like a really cool thing. And Peacock really brought that back. That's damn. I'm going to have to get my account, at least a free account. We got to get Peacock to sponsor one of these episodes. Let's talk about them a little bit. Oh, sponsorships. So yeah, funny, funny story and sponsorships. I had this. I won't name the exact place, but this this comic book distribution website contacted me, right? And they're like, hey, we want to work with you. I'm like, okay, cool. And they showed me some of their best selling comics or whatever. And I'm like, that's cool. Like we'd like to just give you some free comics to advertise. I'm good. I mean, I got a family. Comics don't pay the bills. I'm sorry. Like I do like comics guys, but just saw a lot of you out there. I take free comic. I totally understand. By the way, they didn't they didn't have the ones they were offering me wrote the dating variety. So I mean, if that's what you're into cool, but I'm not, I'm currently not into dating novels when I'm about to get married. But you know, if that if that's what you're into, that's what you're into. No problem. They had some other other ones of some anime series. I actually recognize the stuff. And I'm like, okay, cool. And so I wanted me to contact them on WhatsApp. And I told them I am never making a WhatsApp account. If you guys ever see a comment claiming to be me in the comment section from WhatsApp, it's not me. I will I refuse to even look at the app. And I told them, I'm sorry, I have people on my YouTube getting scammed by people on WhatsApp. I'm not joining WhatsApp. That's not happening. And then they're like, okay, fine. Well, then we'll make a deal through email. We'll pay you two dollars to post a community post and put an ad in a video. And I'm like, two dollars, two dollars. That wasn't worth my time to read your email. I'm just I'm not trying to be mean here. But like all my sponsorship deals are in the hundreds and you're offering two bucks. Yeah, man. And so like, so guys, if you wonder why I haven't any sponsored content in a while, that's my most recent offer. And that's, you know, I think just saying that $2 thing right now probably already got a $2 super chat from somebody that isn't sponsoring me already in the chat while watching this. So like, look, guys, thank you so much for the two dollars that maybe there's more than two dollars now at this point. Not that I've ordered up. You guys are sponsoring way the hell more. In fact, you guys are absolutely incredible. Holy crap. We're like 590 members or something. We might be past 600 by now. I have no idea what happened on the Friday stream. That hasn't happened yet at the time I'm recording this. We might be past 600 members just glancing at memberships alone. And this month, guys, I know we have gifted members. So it's really insane right now. You guys have provided over $1,800 in revenue to the channel just from members. That is. Yeah, you guys are my number one sponsor. Not these other companies. You guys sponsored me. So yeah, that comic replaced, by the way, I'm not going to say the name. Maybe you guys end up liking that place. It's fine. I just thought it was kind of weird and I told them, really, two dollars is what you're coming at a nearly 80,000 subscriber channel for. I don't want to toot my own horn. But I was being offered more than that when I had a thousand subscribers. Yeah. Like the people who don't take it seriously, but it's a two dollar offer. I'm like, yeah, all right. I don't really care about your brand so much that I want to be associated with you for two dollars. I'm good. Oh, did you? Speaking of thought, did you hear the crap with G Fuel? What happened? If you Oh, man. So I've been trying to get sponsored by them for a while, right? Yeah. Yeah. I actually really enjoy the drink itself. And like, you know, beat them ups and others are like massively sponsored by them. Well, G Fuel went ahead and fired a whole bunch of their representative team members of the partnership program. So the people that people who are sponsored by them actually talk to like they don't talk directly to the corporate. They talk to the team handles partnerships. Well, a bunch of them got fired. And then they came out and basically immediately upon fire and said, that's really interesting that we showed up to work today and didn't have our jobs. Considering that we, there was like they filed basically a complaint again in HR. All the oldest team members filed a joint complaint HR about abuse in the workplace. And they were trying to keep this hush hush and just have it dealt with internally. And then they just show up and don't have their jobs. So like all the content creators are now like yanking G Fuel out of their stuff. Being like, hey, we're done. Nobody use our discount codes anymore. Doesn't matter. And like, yeah, dude, it's the thing with the sponsorship deals. The guys, you got to be careful because you never know what's going on behind the scenes. Yeah, you don't know who like, like, like the same thing, you don't know who you're getting back with. So it's bad. Yeah, I see here that, uh, that, uh, be the most took it out of the Twitter. It's not no longer there at all. Yeah. And he ripped it. He went live today on a live stream on Twitch and he ripped all the stuff out of his Twitch streams and he just talked about it briefly. He's like, yeah, I got two, two people that I was talking with directly there. They magically don't have jobs today. No one said a word to me about any things I have no one to communicate with. And they expect me to just keep promoting their product. And I'm not taking any more money. I'm not done with them. And like a whole bunch of creators are now just yanking. You know, it'd be interesting to see what happens with like PewDiePie who actually has an actual G field drink made after him. Like, is he going to back out? You know, cause I'm sure he's getting paid a pretty penny to have his name associated with G fuel. Um, it dude, it, this is the thing about sponsorships. You guys don't realize this. There's very little we know about what's like, like Guli kit, right? Like they sent us all those controllers. I don't know what's going on the scenes of that company. Yeah. At all. Like I'm just grateful to him. And I, I like to assume the best of everyone, but all these companies are all about making money and not necessarily about treating people correctly. So it's, it's difficult, um, dealing with this kind of stuff. You know, hey, okay, I got, I got the connector at Apple. I'm trying to give them the sponsor me forever. Yeah, just, just, just, just doesn't happen. So like, I'm always open to sponsorships. Like, you know, we joked, you joked on a, during prime gave us, Hey, we want Dr Pepper to sponsor us for their new dark berry flavor. That's like, Oh, I actually would be cool. Like I've been looking for a drink sponsor forever, but I'm really glad that like I had an initial email with G fuel like a month ago, and they wanted to talk more. And, um, I was hearing a couple of rumblings that behind the scenes, and I was like, well, I'm going to wait and just see what happened. And then all of a sudden this all blew up today. And I was like, well, really glad that I didn't progress with that and take, you know, they were going to offer over a thousand dollars. And see, at least when I say my community is my number one sponsor is like, if one of you individually is a bad person, that doesn't really affect all the other people that, that, that are sponsoring my channel. So, um, you know, and I probably never will find out if you're a bad person or not because you're not a global brand. So I'm reading here, uh, beat him up says, uh, he did a statement on Twitter about the, yeah, about the G fuel thing happening. They ask people not to use this code anymore until, until G fuel comes up and yeah, like they haven't made any statements on it. They haven't talked to any of the creators. They're not talking publicly about what's going on. They're not talking about, you know, admitting any faults. And apparently, um, this was a red flag. People probably should have saw was something, uh, that because G fuel has been a sponsored drama alert channel for a long time, whatever. I don't really care what keeps starting drama alert, but, um, Keemstar said something on a live stream while we're in G fuel merchandise, uh, that was just absolutely abhorrent and he had to apologize for, and of course G fuel and drop the sponsorship. And it kind of gives you an idea of like, Hey, if they were okay with him saying that and not dropping them, then. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's one thing. It's one thing I think if, um, a company has a long standing relationship with you wants to give you a second chance, but like someone like Keemstar said several controversial things. So it's kind of like, you know, you clearly have, I've been okay with that behavior for years. So that makes you wonder about the internals, but then all of a sudden else. And you see beat them ups who a lot of people find to be really wholesome and genuine and nice. And he's constantly pumping, you know, Hey, it's sponsored by G fuel. You know, yeah, I gotta have my G fuel. Got to have and like, so you're like, well, this is so weird because like you have the exact opposite imagery being presented. You know, trying to play both sides of the coin is usually not, uh, the way to go. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, and it's just G fuel for now. Who knows? Like we've seen a lot of this. So Activision Blizzard obviously get busted for a bunch of stuff. Yeah. Ubisoft earlier. So like, man, that's the thing. And I just wanted to bring this up because, you know, guys, I don't care if I get sponsorships or not. Like I'm up for, I'm on the list for a couple of sponsorships with some indie games coming up. And I don't know if I don't know if they're going to come through or not. But it's one of those that like be, I seen some people angry with some content creators today about being, you know, not saying anything yet, like PewDiePie hadn't said anything yet. And I'm like, let's, let's remember that us content creators know very little. Yeah. About what's, we just know what's available on the internet. We do our research. It's a reputable company that around a long time, their products are available at every store. You don't think anything of it. And it'll be like me taking a deal from Pepsi. Like, yeah, you don't think anything of it. And they're offering you really, really good money. And everyone who, you know, who buys the drink ends up liking it. So, you know, feel like you're giving people a raw deal because it's a good product. That's a good tasting product anyway. So try not to judge content creators harshly for mistakes being made by the companies that sponsor them, unless those content creators are coming out and defending those actions. Yeah, especially when a company is big enough to have several departments, several areas. Like for example, right now it's, it's about people who handle content creators. Those people there, it could, it could be as small as their department was being basically not handled correctly by whoever was in charge of that department. You know what I mean? And then the entire company doesn't have to pay for that for the sins of those that those few managers who'd like to take advantage of their position in and be a little bit excessive, excessive, you know what I mean? Yeah. And then the content creators just guilty by association. And it's like, well, they didn't control any of it. So I'm going to say be a little fair to content creators out there. You know, we even mentioned before like, you know, just even just talking about beat them. I was like, when he had the satisfied grant promotion, again, some people got the wrong grip. Yeah. It's not Wood's fault. Even though he thought that my video was blaming him, I wasn't actually blaming him. It's not his fault. I was saying that satisfy, you know, should have done a little bit better to make sure that never happened in the first place. There shouldn't have been wrong ones sent out. We know that, you know, obviously mistakes happen, but it was multiple people that got the wrong one. Yeah. I was one of them. And it wasn't even Wood's fault. They gave him a link so that he can share on his on his YouTube account. They oversold how many they had is really what happened. That link led to a page where you could see the beat them up script. You would add the cart and purchase. But somewhere around the line, the communication with the website assigned the whole bunch of them to the regular grip. And then some of them to the beat them up script. So I'm pretty sure he he himself actually reached out to them. I'm guessing and then trying to figure out, but it was not his fault at all. He was just possible. He wasn't a privileged place of getting that grips made in his name for, you know, it was a big honor. Like you guys know, I've worked with Skull and Company and if they want to contact me and work on a joint grip one day, that would just be an honor to have my branding be in a real product that people can buy. Like that's just like that. That's like it. I made it moment. Like, you know, you you've really made it in your field when literally it's not your own merchandise. It's a major company reaching out and wanting, like with PewDiePie being on G Fuel, like wanting to have your brand that much associated with theirs. It's an honor because that's a high level of respect. And that's why I started my video. I'm like, Hey, I don't think satisfied. I did it on purpose. All right. And but and it's not what's followed at all. But you know, it would, you know, we can only do so much in contacting customer support. It would be not like the only thing I said, I think that you could maybe he didn't like, because I said, you know, it would be nice to be made a public statement about it and recognize that some people like it would say, I know more or some people got the wrong thing. I sent an email to him and just kind of left it at that because he's not going to deal with it on the individual basis. But just to acknowledge it. Hey, yeah, I know there was a mistake. It's okay. The satisfied will take care of you, etc., etc. But, you know, I don't think he actually watched the video, to be honest. He just saw the thumbnail that I was just bitching about him. I'm like, yeah, man, man. Yeah. But I literally, I literally was on his live stream when he was raising money for depression. And I donated like over $300. So I, you know, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It's one of those things that I think I'm too small time. He doesn't really pay close enough attention to be completely honest. But, you know, it's in your own path to try to, you know. So one last thing I just wanted to briefly get to briefly, briefly, because we're kind of running up on the clock here. Give me one expectation for a unannounced movie and or TV series that you think Nintendo is going to do, say in the next five years. And then one unannounced expectation for a potential direct if it hasn't happened yet. OK, so we already know about the Mario movie. So I'm just going to go straight to the Legend of Zelda. And I don't want it to be a movie. I want it to be a series. I want it to, I want to, you want to limit it or do you want it to be like full seasons, like multiple seasons? No, I want it to be a couple of seasons, a couple of seasons, even if even if it's an eight episode season, anything needs to be. So you want it to be like an actual an actual series that's going to continue, not just be a one. Yeah. Not be like Obi-Wan, where they do six episodes and they're done. You want to know there's going to be more. Yeah. Yeah. No, I so the Zelda is the Legend of Zelda is so massive. There's so much that could that could happen. You know what I mean? Yeah, I was surprised when they said Obi-Wan would just be a limited series. I'm like, really? I feel like you have something here that you can run for like three seasons. Yeah, I still crazy. I think that they're doing like a cinematic universe where they're all they're all going to join at one point. You're near probably not wrong. Yeah. But and then the Nintendo Direct. New IP or Zelda port? New IP or Zelda port? I mean, either a remake, you know? Yeah. Yeah. That's all the like probably Princess Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Season, you know, something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or or a new IP, a new IP. New IP. Would this be an internally made IP or would it be like a platinum or like a third party IP that they put on? Nintendo. Nintendo, new IP, completely brand new IP from Nintendo. And. Code name Steve. Code name. Code name. Guzelda clone. I do. Why don't they have more action adventure games, man? Something. One more, man. And one more. One more. You have a billion different platformer games, only one action adventure series. Like. Yeah. Yeah. At one point, you had a bunch of racers, too. Like, can we get more than one action adventure series? That would be wonderful. Thanks. Racers, fighters, there's everything, but we need one more Zelda. Technically, they only have one fighter now. I mean, take a character, take a character, maybe spin off those, you know, Zelda with a character and just make it its own thing and then have it evolve. I mean, they did that with Tingle, technically. Who? Tingle? Who's Tingle? Who's Tingle? Tingle's basically me at this point. I used to make jokes about it, but now I'm the guy in the 30s wearing spandex with red balloons making maps for my children. So I guess I've become the new Tingle these days. That's right, everybody. Face reveal. I'm the new. This is what Tingle looks like. No costume. That's hilarious. All right, guys. Well, thank you so much for tuning in. This episode of Shadow Prime podcast, nice and short and sweet for you guys. I hope you have an amazing rest of your week. Again, I have no idea if I have videos planned or anything coming up. This is Wednesday. I'll be coming back in town sometime at some point on Saturday. I have no idea or Sunday. Either way, you probably won't see me until the following Monday. So let's hope that, hey, if the direct hasn't happened yet, that it's coming on the 29th. And if not, then who knows? Bob's your uncle. So catch you guys in the next episode, guys. All right, peace.
