 like we're good. Hey, how's it going everyone? Welcome to another sort of Nintendo Prime podcast. We're not really, we don't have any like specific topics or anything. We're just gonna kind of do a short-ish, like 40, 50 minute-ish Q&A where you guys can ask any questions you want. We're gonna take them right out of the chat. You just need to add Nintendo Prime in the chat or I don't think he's logged in. You are logged in. Yeah. So what's your username on YouTube? I don't even know. I think it's just Eric Moore. Is it just Eric Moore? So, so at Eric Moore or at Nintendo Prime in the chat to ask questions and we will do, yeah that goal isn't accurate and just like there's chat over my face as well. So here's the bottom line guys. This is not like a normal podcast episode. This will not, audio version of this will not be going up. This is just kind of a chill stream, a little chatty stream. I will be doing shots for super chats for the next 40, 50 minutes so you guys want to go nuts with that cool. I'll do what I have to do. You guys are awesome. We just wanted to say hi to you. How's it going? We didn't want to just totally skip a week. I've been a bit of a weird week because there was like a scare of COVID in the house. It's all gone. Don't got to worry about it. So it wasn't exactly planning to do one this week but I also didn't want to leave you guys hanging. I haven't really been live streaming like I wanted to this week because of that kind of stuff but I, Eric's here. We're here. Let's chat. What do you guys, what are you guys doing? What's up? What do you guys want to talk about? It's all, the floor is yours. What do you guys want to talk about? Ask away in the chat. We had one saying, what games do we recommend? Well, right now I'm playing, let me see. Well, I'm in, I joined a couple of Madden leagues. You guys have seen me streaming on our Twitch. In fact, right after this, I'll be streaming one of my Madden league games over on Twitch at Nintendo Prime TV. You can come watch me suck. I will not be on facecam, by the way, just because I don't have it set up. I need to basically get a webcam and it's whatever. I don't have it set up to do facecam. I technically could just turn this camera to the couch but I'm not. So, bottom line is I don't have that set up but you can come over and watch me. I will be on audio. I will have the chat open on my phone or something so I can still see what's going on in chat with you guys but I will be playing a league game of Madden over there in a league I'm in. Besides that, I've been playing a lot of Metroid Dread of course right here. This is a lovely game here. I am not done with it yet. I'm waiting for my final impressions till I'm done even though I'm not really going to be talking about the end of the game in those impressions but I know some people have been wondering, hey, what are your real thoughts on it? We can talk about it on this little Q&A as well. Also, yesterday I started playing Back for Blood, came out on Xbox, came out on PlayStation as well but it's on Game Pass so that's how I'm playing it. I didn't play much of it. We played for a little bit last night. Eric's been a little more than I have. He's got something to be disappointed about with it. I don't. Pissed. No, it stole it all wrong. I really enjoyed my gameplay with it but there is an unfortunate thing where, hey, we're all done here and if Eric and I want to play together, he's got to leave. Yeah. There's no split screen. There's no split screen. There's no co-op, couch co-op. Not even for just two players even, let alone four. He has to go home and get on his Xbox to play Back for Blood together which is upsetting because obviously this team is the one that created Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 and you could do couch co-op in those games. To not have it here feels like a massive oversight. Maybe it's something they patch in later. From what I was reading, there's talks maybe. There's a lot of demand for it because bottom line is some people are still like, say you got a quarantine with your brother or something like, dude. But I can't. I'd have to have two Xboxes, two TVs, two copies of the game. Two PlayStation. Yeah, it's yeah. Anyways. But while I suggest playing it, if all you care about is playing it online, absolutely. If you like the original Left 4 Dead game, you're only going to play it online. Yeah, they actually did a really good job recreating that experience and obviously a new generation. So, see, what are you most excited for in 2022? Until, otherwise stated, it's Breath of the Wild 2. That's supposedly coming next year. So, for right now, that's listed as 2022, so nothing tops that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Also, Sparks of Hope. Yeah, for sure. Archeus would be interesting to see just how it plays and how that looks and things like that. So, that's going to be another one up there that's... So, two and three. I mean, there's so many big games next year and that's just from Nintendo. And what other random Mario they drop, if they do? Yeah. I mean, even Sony, that's when we're getting Forbidden West next year. New Horizon game, so that should be really good. Microsoft's probably going to have a really killer year next year. So, everyone, looks like 2022 is just going to be a killer year across the board. I will also say, I'm not done yet with this month, because, yeah, we can talk about Mario Party that's coming, but that's not even what I'm excited about. I might pick that up on a whim. Age of Empires 4 comes out October 28th. I forgot about that. And, of course, I have Game Pass. So, I don't even have to pay for it. I have a feeling we're going to be playing a lot of that, too. And let's just say, I may or may not have a giant, top-end, 49-inch, super-wide monitor coming in that's just going to be perfect for this game. Don't cod you. So, let's just say, Eric can sit down next to me and get the exact same full-screen experience I'm getting. He doesn't look over my shoulder. Yeah. And the thing is, too, is, and we did a lot of that. Technically, we could almost split-screen your monitor and maybe play together. Just took my laptop up to the other half of a month. We might be playing Age of Empires together. Right. On the same screen. Right. If not, one could look up to the TV. Oh, my God. It's going to be beautiful. We had a super check. Can we go on and read that for a week right there? Just got to the third boss and dread after Chozo cutscene. Do you get a load of Nate the Hates podcast? Convinced 4K Switch is a successor, not a pro 4K BT. Breath of the Wild 2. OK. Take your 6N. You want to expand on that? Hold on. So, you said, you had to have the third boss and dread. OK. Yep. That's awesome. Did you get a load of Nate the Hates podcast? I have not watched it yet. I know it went up today. Convinced that 4K Switch is a successor, not a pro. So, he's convinced that whatever is coming is going to be a successor, not a pro model, OK? OK. But 4K Breath of the Wild 2. Well, that's what I'm curious about. What are you talking about there? That'd be awesome. 4K Breath of the Wild 2. Where is this coming from? Because if Breath of the Wild 2 comes next year, are you trying to tell me that Nate the Hates is saying we're going to get the successor next year? Yeah. I mean, that would be... I'm not against that. That's what you mean, anyway. I wonder, so here's my thing. With the Switch Pro or 4K Switch, or whatever the hell we're talking about here, I always wonder, like, let's say it does come next year, which to me would be insane. That would obviously fit with 4K Breath of the Wild 2. To me, I find that all to be insane because that would mean, obviously, that OLED was just a weird stopgap until the next gen. To me, this feels, again, like what I've been suggesting this whole time, that Nintendo's going to do away with traditional generation. So, like, this next system, whether you call it a pro or whether you call it Switch 2, would be their next platform, anyways. But they're not... Look at the way Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 is going, where everything's backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. To me, this is kind of like what will happen here, where Nintendo will have this next gen platform, but everything that comes on it will still be playable on Switch for the next two years. So, just kind of... Basically, what Xbox and PlayStation are doing are already kind of what I think Switch should do, is where you just don't abandon your old platform. So, it could be their next gen 4K, whatever, Switch next year, but you don't have to rush out and get it because everything on it's gonna also be on the old platforms. What would be weird is, if they do consider it a new generation, would be, this is the second generation in a row that there has not been an exclusive Zelda game. I mean, you could say it links awakening, but again, that was just a remake. Yeah, yeah. Breath of the Wild was cross-gen. Wii U and Switch, if Breath of the Wild 2's cross-gen. Yeah, yeah. I mean, by the way, this isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't make the game any less amazing, but it's also like, we'll never get one completely built from the ground up for any platform? Yeah, right? Kind of weird, but I mean, I'm not complaining, Breath of the Wild is amazing, so. No, absolutely, for sure. Cheers, a lot, Eric, I'll answer this next one here. Let's see here, another question. Remember, Addison, the chat, we have any questions? Um, Eric, this goes from Emerald Gaming, on a one to 100% scale, what are the chances of a Metroid 6? Remember, this is Metroid 5. That's Metroid 5? None, because isn't that supposed to be the last one? So the better question is, will there be another side-scrolling Metroid game? I'm sure there will. Will it be called Metroid 6? No. No. This is the end of the current ongoing storyline in Metroid, so will there be more as long as it sells well? Absolutely. But it won't be Metroid 6. It'll be called something, it'll have Metroid in the name, we call it something else, or they'll go get rid of the numbers entirely. Just like, if you notice, this came out, it's popular, the number's not on here. They called it Metroid 5 when they unveiled it, there's no five on here. So I think they were already setting it up to be like, this is the end of the current saga, and we're just gonna go with named entries moving forward. And it won't technically be Metroid 6, because the Metroid line, Metroid 1 through 5, is over. Do you think they start a new arc, or do you think they're gonna have- Probably, they'll probably start a new arc. Individual game stories in their own games. No, they'll start a new arc. They'll start a new arc. They'll start a new arc. Thanks for subscribing, Peter and Alex, I appreciate it. Let's see here. I don't like the idea of having to buy another Nintendo system, I'm already attached to the Switch. You don't have to. So here's the thing, let's say that for some odd reason, there was a next gen that came next year, which is just insane to me to even think about. I don't think you are looking at this in the correct light. I just got something saying, if they treat this like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, outside of very specific games, there's no reason to necessarily get a next gen platform if you already have a current gen. I'm saying very specific games, because EA is doing weird things like Madden, is a completely different version on new gen versus old gen. So like, you're getting a different experience. So something like that, okay, that's a little strange. Right, that's- But I mean, back for Blood's the same on everything. It just looks prettier on the new systems. Maybe better frame rate. Like, bottom line is, if a new gen switch comes as long as nothing's gonna be exclusive to it for like the first year or two, you don't have to rush to upgrade. You can keep enjoying all of the Nintendo Switch exclusives or Nintendo exclusive games for the next couple of years without worry. This assumes that this is the route Nintendo goes, which by the way, Nintendo has never gone this route. So that's also something to keep in the back of your mind is that even when 3DS came out and was backwards compatible with DS, that's okay. So DS games or 3DS games are completely different. So I just, you know, that is something to keep in the back of your mind that Nintendo's never done this, but Nintendo's also never had a hybrid system before. So there is that. Let's just wait and see what happens. I am very curious. I'm gonna have to listen to the Nate the Hates podcast because I'm very curious what he meant by 4K Breath of the Wild 2. Because to me, that suggests, if that is coming next year, that the new system's coming, right? So everyone's okay. Everyone's fine. Cool, my kids are back to school tomorrow. Have I been engaged to Yulia for 10 years? Ah, no. We have not been engaged for 10 years. We got engaged the first time in October. Kind of weird because it is October. It was October 7th. So long ago, October 7th of 2012. So no, nine years. We've been engaged, but we weren't engaged for the entire nine years. So I would say it's more like six years that we've been engaged. Now you might say, that's crazy. Hey, I'll say this. You know what's crazier? People that get engaged after being together less than a year. And then just rushing to marriage and kids and everything. I don't even know what's gonna happen or any of the drama that's gonna come up. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it does. But divorce rates are super high. Oh, for sure, absolutely. So my thing is, if we would have got married back then, I don't know if we would be together today. We might have been divorced. So I will say this. It was kind of good that we didn't get married when we were planning to. Now we're like both gung-ho said it's happening next year. We're just having a hard time with venues and getting okay from the priest because we're trying to do it on a Sunday, which conflicts with, they don't care about the marriage being on a Sunday. It conflicts with scheduling and mass and everything. So, you know, if you wanna do it at the mass, no, we still wanna be kind of its own separate things. We don't wanna have to force people who might come that aren't religious to have to sit through an hour long mass. And then you tack on another 45 minutes of stuff. So, yeah, there's a whole thing there, but we are working on getting approval for everything. We do have a venue potentially if our date gets approved by the priest. It's expensive, but it's fine. Well, welcome to weddings. Everything's expensive. It's super expensive. I'll tell you the venue later. I don't wanna public it. I don't want people showing up, but yeah. So, yeah, we like gung-ho, we're ready and we're done with all BS that happens, you know, as a couple going through shit. So, yes, we've been engaged with that. I was never married before. And Eric is not married. No, I am not. Clayton Miller says, you guys think Mario Odyssey 2 will be a thing. What do you think, Eric? I hope so. I had started picking back up when I went out to Rapid City a couple of weeks ago. I picked Mario Odyssey back up when I've completed, I think, 100% of the first four, three or four levels worlds. So, I'm just gonna make it through it. It's a fun game, but haven't got New Donkey yet. Just because it's fun to say. You haven't got the New Donkey yet? No, no. I think it just finished the sands, the desert area. But are you playing it completionist style? Yeah, that's why. But even then, it's been a while, guys, but. I fell out of it for a long while. Because see, here's my thing, like, I look at it, like, when I was younger, I used to do completionist style. As I get older and I don't have the same time to game, fuck it, I just want to beat the game. Yeah, no, I get it. So, I got through it quick. I gotta go to Rapid City another two dimes, so. Yeah. Like Dredd, guys, I'm not 100% in Dredd. I'm just telling you that right now. Not because it's super long. It's just, once I beat it, I'm good. I'm ready to move on. Maybe. It could be like Pikmin 3 where it just ends, and you're like, nope, we need more. I think that's probably what's gonna happen, but. You excited for the new Animal Crossing Direct on Friday? Yep. At the moment, I am planning to stream the Direct on Friday, the Animal Crossing Direct. You don't know how I'm gonna react to it. I haven't turned on Animal Crossing in a long time. Let's see here. Do you think there's a possibility that Nintendo's taking a page from Sega's book and make an add-on for the Switch, something like Switch Dock Pro or Switch Dock Plus? No. There are certain limitations with USB-C. They do not have Thunderbolt support, which is definitely needed if you're gonna do a mobile GPU. If you wonder how laptops can use that, like a USB-C port, they're using a Thunderbolt variant of USB-C, which is not capable or currently available on the technology inside Switch. In fact, it's not even possible. I think it's actually exclusive to Intel CPUs. So, no. What you're talking about isn't gonna happen. I know Nintendo had a patent for it at one point. Like, not necessarily a dock, but a supplemental computing device. Having patents is different than actually doing it. And that's saying that it hasn't expired, too. Do you think the Switch Lite with an OLED screen will be a thing? I think eventually. No. No? I don't think so. Move on to whatever's next. Oh, okay. I don't think they're gonna release a new Lite variant. No? At least not of this. The next system, absolutely. I think they're just kinda setting up manufacturing for whatever's next. True, true. I don't think they're worried about, oh yeah, look at the old, I don't think they care right now. I could be wrong, by the way. We have no, by the way, this presumes that Nintendo's even doing a hybrid again. We don't know what Nintendo's gonna do, because Nintendo, maybe Nintendo doesn't know what Nintendo's gonna do. I have no idea. Maybe we're going back to, I remember getting a 4DS. I have no idea. Oh God, that'd be, did they just omit smells from the thing? Right, like a 4D theater, right? You get your smells, you get splashed with some water. Let's see here. No, not in the Switch, in the dock. Okay, again, Syke, the Switch would have to work with the dock. Okay. Let me explain something, okay? I wasn't talking about in the Switch, I was talking about in the dock, okay? What you are referring to is called a supplemental computing device, AKA a mobile GPU. It already exists, it's already on the market and you can buy it for a bunch of laptops. But you have to use a Thunderbolt port in order to use it, because they're the only ports that are fast enough to take advantage of a mobile GPU. Okay, it's this little box that you put a desktop GPU in and you can plug it into your laptop. And now, that's not exactly what the dock would be, it probably wouldn't be that big of a box, it would just be a normal dock that has a GPU in it that's better than what's in the Switch. But the Switch still has to interact with that GPU and it interacts with it over USB-C, because that's what the Switch uses. And it uses an ARM Tegra CPU, which does not have the ability to use Thunderbolt. So, no. A mobile dock that has a more powerful GPU in it and interacts with the Switch is not going to exist, at least not in the current form of Switch. It's just not possible with the current technology. Switch is unique. You have to remember, everything is based around that Tegra X1 even in a situation where you put more powerful hardware in a dock. Bottom line is, all the games and everything are running through that Tegra X1 before it gets to that dock. So, I hate to shoot it down. It's just, it's not happening. Unless there's some new magic technology we're not aware of out in the world that does this beyond Thunderbolt, which hasn't happened anywhere. And if it did exist, I feel like AMD and others would be using it. Yeah. So. Fiber optic lines directly into it. Well, I mean, you want to go better. I mean, yeah. Just straight fiber optics. Yeah, right. God, that dock will be so freaking expensive. Let me see it. I don't even know if that would even work properly with USB-C. When do you think we'll get the N64 expansion update? The update? Yeah. The update itself will probably come. Holiday? Right before Halloween. Right before Halloween? I think it'll drop on the 29th. You think? Yeah. Okay. They said it's gonna be here by the end of the month. Oh, did they? Yeah. Oh, I missed that part. Yeah, yeah, 29th. Okay. I think it'll drop right before Halloween. Fair enough. I missed that part. Give you something to do for people who are staying at home. Probably. And it can be a trick or treat. Yeah. Oh, give me something to play away. Oh, on the flights. Yes. So, if you can't play them online on the flights. Unless you buy, oh, you can. You can buy the internet package. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Thank you for subscribing. Only Paladin. I appreciate it, man. Can I download on the play-up? No, dammit. Clayton Miller. So the hybrid thing caught all of us off guard. I think it will be a staple going forward just due to the successful nature of it. Yeah. And there's not a lot of competition for Nintendo in the space. There is the Steam Deck, but again, until that becomes something that hundreds of millions of people own, it's not really something that Nintendo needs to worry about. And again, Sony and Microsoft ain't bothering with it. So this really gives Nintendo a space all to themselves to play in. So I don't think they're going to abandon, but I don't know, we have a president right now who's never launched a product. Switch, remember, was the final concept from Satura Awada, and it was launched by Takahashi, and then Takahashi Machizuki. Wait, no, not Takahashi Machizuki. He's the right, whatever. The guy's name was Takahashi, but I can't remember his last name. Anyways, and then it transitioned to Furukawa during the Switch era. So we've never seen Furukawa launch hardware. So I don't know what Furukawa's thinking. I know that he's a shrewd businessman and he cares about money, so abandoning the concept that's really popular would seem anti-money, but I don't know, this is Nintendo. You could cave to Miyamoto who says, hey, what we need are NFC cards that you tap on your phone and that's how you play Nintendo games. I have no idea, okay? Weird things happen. No thanks, please no. And when I say NFCs, of course, I'm also talking about the fact that you could resell them like those damn, oh my God. Guys, record this video clip. I own it. Now I can sell it to somebody digitally. Yeah. Through like, I don't even know, NFTs. Damn, NFTs. Great. Thanks for subscribing, DJR. In a video you talked about Bloom and Nintendo, about dev kits for 4K, my question is since Oopsy from Nintendo has anything else come up from Doom Rig? Nope, nothing else has come up. Oopsy from Nintendo. Oliver G has an interesting question. Okay, what? He says, Nate, how do you find out all this information for the channel? You mean where do I get all my stuff from? Everywhere. Sometimes even TikTok, it's weird. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Kataku, yes, even Kataku. IGN, other YouTubers sometimes. You know, Digital Founder, Eurogamer, Nintendo everything, Nintendo Life. Used to be, you also go to Nintendo but they don't really do anything anymore. Japanese Nintendo, there's so many places you go directly to Nintendo's Twitter accounts. There's also Gaming and Leaks subreddit on Reddit. There's also the Nintendo Switch Reddit, the Nintendo Reddit, the Nintendo Switch Deals Reddit. There's Wario64 when you got to follow him on Twitter if you want to find out the latest deals. There's a lot of places. Basically, it is possible for anyone out there to discover all the news on their own. I think the value in a channel like mine is that I kind of do that work for you. Now, the thing is I'm still not telling you everything. There's a bunch of news that happens every day around Nintendo that I don't talk about because I only talk about what interests me and what I think might interest you guys. And I'm not always gonna know what interests you guys. I really only know what interests me. And I'll just, if I happen to have a video where I've got five, six stories and sometimes I'll throw in a couple of stories I don't care about, but I think other people will. But usually my videos are usually built around one big story or two big stories that I care about. But yeah, there's not really, like if you're looking for like a how to define everything, I have a folder on my Chrome tab which is probably why I haven't left Chrome yet that has 148 places I checked every day, multiple times a day for news. Yeah, his Chrome browser tabs are just. It's insane. God of it. And you really get mad at me. Like, you don't understand. Even if I'm not making a video, I gotta have this shit open in case something happens. Yeah. So it's insane. Yeah. Clayton Miller. Oh yeah. Have a drink on me. Don't mind if I do. I already had that one by the end of the month, Matt. Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot. It's everybody. Ooh, there's a gold flake in here from our old shot of Goldschlager. Nice. Yes. Goldy. Got it down. Just increased my value. Microsoft went down two points. Tentacam. Microsoft just went down two points. Oh, God. Loving that. Yes. It is all gross. Matt Howard says, when is Nintendo 64 coming to Nintendo Switch Online Service? Yeah. It's supposed to be by the end of this month and they're supposed to before then announce the pricing. It's supposed to. We don't know. They could delay it. Yeah. Don't know. We're at like the middle of the month. So soon? Soon? Sometime in the next two weeks, I think it's a pretty safe bet. Soon? It's entertaining gaming news. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There you go. New kid on the block. Right, right, yeah. Damn you, Verizon 5G. Damn you, Verizon 5G. Verizon 5G. Verizon 5G. Damn you. Instead of Scuba's teeth. Damn you, Verizon 5G. I stepped on you. Yeah. Instead of freaking Scuba's teeth. I can step on my phone. Scuba's teeth. Damn you, Verizon 5G. Oh my god. Anyways, unless you got chat, chat, chat, it's nice. Oh, yeah. I'm already just Q&A, guys. Just ask questions in the chat. We're literally just grabbing questions that are tossed out in the chat. And see, I'm scrolling up. There was a few that we kind of went by. And see here. Will we ever get Mario Galaxy 2 release? Re-release. Re-release. Sorry. Yeah. We can't read. Ouch. I don't really have a reason, because I think it's illogical that we didn't get it packed in with 3D All-Stars. So. But then how do you call it 3D All-Stars? So it's just 3D games. I know. It didn't say there was going to be three games. But you keep with the three and the... Four D All-Stars. Yeah, right. Yeah. Four Ds. Yeah, right. Woo. I've been playing through the entire Metroid series. Hot take. Samus Returns is a dumpster fight. Woo. They love Dread. Zero Mission and Super Metroid. And they finish them too. Cool. I'm not going to touch that one with a... 80-foot. I haven't... Oh, I'm not touching it with your 80-foot point. Where was the dance to accompany the shot from the last Super Chat? I don't... Actually, I think things are set up. You know what? This isn't a normal podcast. I guess I could. Fine. Here you go. Did the computer die? The computer did something. Yes, I'm not answering questions. Did it actually die? I don't know what's going on. It's still on. I noticed. Did the screen finally die? The computer's like 12 years old. I noticed. And like... Might be time to put a Chromebook in here. Yeah. I mean, hold on the power button. Turn on an off again. Yeah, pretty much. And hope it turns back on. Right. The laptop has seen better days. But it even still turned on for E3. No, I know, right? Let me see here. Hey, what do you think of Metroid Case and Controller? I don't know. I haven't seen them. I think I've seen the... Oh, the screen turned on. Oh, yeah. I don't know what happened there. Probably bumped it. Bumped the table. Right. So yeah, I've seen... I think I've seen the Power A controller at the store. But I don't know. It just looks like all the other ones. Who's excited for Nintendo 64 to Nintendo Switch Online? I am. This guy. Not me. But that's okay. This guy. I'll explain why I'm not excited. I don't play old games, so I just don't care. Barely played the SNES and NES and the NES Classic and the SNES Classic. And barely going to touch the N64 and the Genesis. I'd rather worry about what's coming next, not what I've already played. But some people, like Eric, love playing classic games. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I'm a person that goes, Hey, I've played these games like for thousands of hours as a kid. I'm ready to like invest in a new game for thousands of hours. So, like Age of Empires 4 and Back for Blood. And probably that new MMO, New World. I'm actually kind of curious about trying that one out. Might replace my occasional World of Warcraft play. I just kind of not feeling comfortable giving Activision Blizzard more money at the moment. So, that's kind of forcing me to maybe try New World, even though it's from Amazon Games. And I know all about breaking GPUs. It's only 3,000 series GPUs. I guess I'm an AMD user right now. So, I don't got to worry about it. Will the Wii get Just Dance 2023? Maybe. Did they get Just Dance 2022? I don't even know. Possible. Seeing how you're most excited for Breath of Wild 2, I'm guessing Zelda is your favorite franchise or Metroid. Zelda is my favorite franchise. It doesn't mean that I'm always the most excited for a Zelda game. I'm excited for Breath of Wild 2 because Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time. But there's been times I've been more excited for other games than whatever the next Zelda game was. Uh, Timmett! Timmett says, How does your channel not have more subs? You're better than Spawn Wave or any other for starters. Shots fired! I don't consider myself better than any other YouTuber out there, whether they're like Nintendo Academy with like 5,000 subs or whatever, or they're beat them up with like 1.3 million or whatever the hell that guy's rocking out. Maybe he's at the 2 million mark. I can't keep up. But the line is, I don't think I'm really better than anyway. I think we're all different and we all bring different things. We all have different things that we're good at, different things we're bad at. We have different ways that we inform and or entertain people. Obviously as an example, you're not going to catch Spawn Wave doing shots and dancing on live stream. That's just not who he is. You might catch him posting a buff photo of him with his six pack and the arms the size of a cannon. Social media on a beach because he actually did that. He's obviously really obsessed with working out and that's good for him. Fair enough. So the thing is, everyone's a little different. So I don't like to say that I'm better than anybody or that anybody's better than me. We're just, we're all our own people doing our own things in our own way. Obviously like my videos have a very different look to them. We have a live in person podcast set. I have a TV in the background of all of it. Like my videos use a practical set so there's not a ton of editing. Some videos rely more on editing. Some people like to use green screens. Some people like to have gaming collections behind them. There's a whole bunch of different ways to do things and a bunch of different personality mixes. You know, by beat them up, the way that he does videos is entirely different. He has comedy skits and a bunch of really, really heavy, high quality editing and planning that goes into every video and stuff. I don't. My videos are usually... Alright, time to make a video. Let's go. Sometimes I sit down at this desk, hit record and I have no idea what I'm about to do. That's just how I am. And it shows. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. So yeah, for as we're saying that I deserve more subs, I think everyone on YouTube has exactly the amount of it's subs and attention that they should have. So I've been getting a lot more views lately, a lot more subs, a lot more... Okay, then I must deserve to have that stuff. Or YouTube is just... Or YouTube is just deciding I'm worthy. Deciding you're having more... You are worthy! I'm getting a lot of complaints. People are saying, Oh, it's an Nintendo Prime video, get ready to sit through two ads that you can't skip. For starters, I don't control that. Right. YouTube decides what ads get shown. Two, just know in the back of your mind that hey, those unskippable ads are good for me. Because it means that YouTube moved me up a tier in their advertising scheme. We have higher CPM on the channel right now than at any point in channel history. And it's been that way all year. And I don't know why. I'm just gonna say, thanks, YouTube. It's kind of cool to see like bigger paychecks. Until they come back and... No, that was September. We're not going back to September of 2020. We'll pretend that it never happened. Because it hasn't happened since. YouTube's been kind. But we'll see. So yeah, I get this question all the time where people are saying, You deserve more subs. I don't know why you don't have a million. People I think like me as a person. But in general, my content is rather... I would say rushed. I would say my content has very low editing quality. My content is just what it is. I am who I am. I'm sharing some news with you. I'm giving some opinions on shit. And every now and then I play a video game. Bottom line is, I have exactly the amount of attention that I should have. Let's see here. And I mean, you can always recommend to friends, too. If you think he does deserve more. Compared to other games, it's not really as good. Oh, you're talking about the... The Samus Returns. Yeah. You're not trying to disrespect it. You're just... Hold up, hold up. That didn't sound good when someone else read it. To say, when I read it, I was like, oh, damn. Yeah. Dumpster fire. Well, whenever you... Whenever you claim something because it's a dumpster fire. Right. I mean... Oh, what was that? Crossfire! Oh yeah, yeah. Nice. That hasn't... I haven't seen that in forever. Oh God, I haven't thought about that. I still haven't. You mentioned that we can get the eShop on our phones, etc. Is it available? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I said. I said you could log into the eShop on your Nintendo Switch through your phone. And so you're confused about that. Sorry. That is what I was talking about. You used to not be able to do that. You used to always have to type the password on your Switch. Now you can scan a QR code and log into it on your phone, which will log you into it on your Switch. That was a new thing that I added recently. And never announced it. Why? Nintendo love a girl. I don't have that anymore. I don't have that now. I'm dang it. How are you? I am good. No? It's been a crazy week, but good. Timothy says the OLED teardown video has good editing. Better I paid someone to do it. There is also that. That's like the only video I think on my channel that I've ever paid anyone to edit it. Like ever. Literally, I have thousands of videos on my channel. Only when I paid someone to edit it. Yeah, it does have good editing. Mason Conrad. Shout out. Go check him out on Twitter. Look him up. Just type Mason Conrad. He'll do thumbnails. He'll do video editing. He'll do a bunch of shit. He's awesome. And his editing is amazing. And I can't afford to have him edit my videos. Let's just say that one video costs significantly more than the amount of money that video made. And I just... Yeah, it is what it is. I appreciate it. I don't know if it really saved me time because there was so much trouble getting him the files. But, either way. Yeah, of course that video was great. I would love to have an actual editor all the time. I just don't make enough money to support myself, let alone an editor. The crossfire most overjoyed commercial ever. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I may have been a bit harsh, but I'm just salty. It's not bad. I see value. I'm personally not enjoying it. That's alright. Let's see here. Did you see the iFixit turn on the OLED and how they were the screen? Yeah, so I didn't think about that. So I couldn't get the screen hot enough. But they did something weird. It wasn't the suction cup thing. I already knew about that. They had a heating pad. Now, I don't know what temperature this heating pad is up to. I have no idea where they got this heating pad from. Maybe it's something I can look up on Amazon. But it made it look really easy. They had a heating pad that they set it down on, the whole screen, and then they lifted up and they used the suction cup and they were even surprised that it came off. Ooh, another thing you could have did. That's something that I might get for a future. If I hear Nintendo, Nintendo's next system is going to be another hybrid with a screen that I might want to take out for you guys, I will look into investing in getting one of those heating pads that they had, because I don't have that. You could probably do a bag of rice. Throw it in the microwave. Get it really warm. Just drop it on the screen. We're not... I mean... No. I kept thinking... I mean, if we want to just make this the most ghetto thing ever. I'd rather kind of... I'm trying to up the professionalism, not up the ghettoism. It's up the ghettoism. I mean, if you want to get ridiculous, I just go grill my steak quick and before I eat it, just slap my switch on top. Why not? Mmm, juicy. Erick, what's the most overhyped product ever? I mean, Power Glove has to... What's the most overhyped product ever? I mean, Rob was pretty overhyped back in the day, too. I only saw him in commercials. I never actually saw him in person. I never even knew you could buy him back then. Power Glove was always like a joke that was in Nintendo Power, but again, never saw him in person. So, literally, it was never at any store in my area. I've seen one at a pawn shop a long while back. What do they want for it? I don't remember, but... If it's anything under a hundred bucks, I'd grab that one. I'd just wear it on my videos. Thanos Power. I can answer that one. Do you see Metroid Dread-winning Game of the Year? I can answer that one for you because I know you've already told me. One of the first things on your mouth was, this is Game of the Year material. Yeah, he asked me today on a phone call. He was like, hey, so I'm just curious. What do you think about Metroid Dread? I'm like, Game of the Year? Yeah. It was like the first thing that came out of my mouth was Game of the Year. I don't know if it's going to win Game of the Year, but I mean, damn, it's basically perfection. I can't think of anything they could have done to this game. You could say, oh, make it longer. But then there's a point that this kind of gameplay can get a little too much if it's longer. So it's like, it's literally perfect. I can't think of one thing at this point. I don't give 10s to games. I don't even give Breath of the Wild a 10. And it's my favorite game of all time. I'm not saying I enjoy this game more than Breath of the Wild because I enjoy the kind of game Breath of the Wild is more. But for the genre and the style of this game is, I literally think this game is perfect. And I never said that about a game before. Wow. So, damn. Damn. That's hyper. No, I haven't beat it yet. So once I beat it, maybe I'll think a little different about the ending, but up to the point I am in the game, it's like perfection. What games are games that are releasing from now to end of the year? Are you each most excited for? From now to the end of the year? Age of Empires 4? That's the big one that stands out to me that I'm most excited for. I was back for blood for me, but... Let's go now. Yeah, I know. Let me see. Besides that, I mean, yeah, there's Shimagawa Tensei 5. Don't know. I'm not really big into Shimagawa Tensei, so I'm not sure that I'm even going to pick that up. We'll see. There is, you know, Advanced Wars 1-2 Reboot is pretty hype. Obviously Halo Infinite. We'll probably be playing at least trying it out because we have Game Pass, so why not? Both have next-gen Xboxes, so we might as well play it. Yeah, for sure. So yeah, there's a few... There's a handful. I'm not like... There's not like a one-game... Well, besides the Age of Empires 4. There's not one game that I'm sitting here like, oh man, I really can't wait. Like, every day I'm getting more hype for it. Like, I would be, you know, whatever, because Dreads already came out, so I'm good with that. The Mario Party game is probably going to be great, but we'll see. I'm kind of, you know... Yeah. After I let myself get too overhyped for Mario Golf, I'm going to sit back and just kind of wait and see. I'm playing wait and see now with any of these sort of side games. Unless it's a Mario Kart. At that point, I don't consider Mario Kart a side game. It's one of the biggest IPs in the world. So yeah, I'm just going to kind of wait. So Age of Empires 4, I guess, is probably my most anticipated game the rest of this year. Because I love real-time strategy games. And Age of Empires is like one of the OGs. So we'll see. I hope they didn't mess it up. Well, the footage looks really good. But we'll see if the game... Yeah, no, for sure. I would agree on that one. Although, King's Bounty 2. What? The game's already out, isn't it? Is it? I don't know. I just happen to see it. It looks like something that we would like. Yeah, oh yeah, we would. Oh, it came out in August. Yeah. Huh. Yeah, I haven't played that yet. That's been on my Tobias list on PC for a while. I just haven't picked it up yet. Is that a game that we would play the heck out of? Oh, yes. Yes, we would. Yeah. Yes, we would. I just haven't picked it up yet. It's literally been on my Tobias list for a little while. I'm trying to wait for like a down period where I actually can game for like a few days and then... Pinch game? Yeah. Yeah, right. Just wait for it. Bayonetta's going to step aside from Metroid. What? Or they can just both be... Bayonetta's behind me. Why would she have to step aside now? That just makes sense. Well, that and... Or both games could just be good. Be awesome. Yeah. Yeah. They don't even come around the same time. Great. I don't know what's going on with that. I don't know if that didn't make any sense. What? Hold on. There's some... Is this drama in the chat? Hold on. Is Guardians coming out this year too? Hold on. What would this guy say? What a joke. He's never wrong and there's always an excuse. Are you the same guy that's like on my Twitter that I block? I don't really block and muted you so I can't see your face anymore. Well, yeah. Guardians is coming out this month too. He's never wrong and there's always an excuse. I never thought I was right. I obviously did the screen wrong. It broke. I... Obvious is obvious. I clearly didn't take... He's talking about the screen because we were talking about the moment like how I fixed it. Yeah. And I said, yeah, that was really cool. I never thought about trying that. That's cool. I should get that and do it the next time. Isn't that me admitting that I obviously did it wrong? Guys, I broke the damn screen. Clearly I didn't do it right. No, no, it was perfect. No, I'm amazing. Absolutely perfect. It was everyone else's fault that I broke the screen. Yep. Just because I can explain why the screen broke doesn't mean it's not my fault for breaking the screen. Obviously, I didn't have the right tools and the right stuff to get it done and I'm not an expert at tearing things down all the damn time. I mean, if you were my other friend, Kyle, it would have been my fault somehow. He would have found some way to blame me. It's Eric's fault. Yeah. It's my fault. It's my fault. I wasn't here. He wasn't here when I did it. He would have called me a dumbass, hit me with a baseball bat. Oh, for sure. Then I would have woke up and I would have been done. I said, how do you do this? And it would have been like, I didn't. I took it to the store and paid someone else to do it. Right. I clenched it between my butt cheeks. And it just popped apart. I just pulled. I just had that stronger butt cheek because it is. What games are the games are really seen? Oh, you've already read that one. Let's see here. A lot of you seem to think Dread is too hard. You know, it's funny about Dread. I mean, I'm not even going to consider this a spoiler. When you beat Dread, it unlocks a hard mode. We've been used to this with Zelda and a lot of other Nintendo games. So there's an even harder mode. The game doesn't get easier. It gets harder. If people think it's too hard, A, never played a Metroid game. B, never played a Metroidvania game. C, never played a Castlevania game. And at the end of the day, they just might not be into this kind of game. This genre is difficult. That is what makes this genre appealing. Also, this genre being difficult is also what's made it be a niche genre because the genres that are more palpable by a wider audience are the ones that blow up. Platformers, as an example. We can talk about how there's platforming perfection and things like Super Mario 64 that it takes like an expert to do. But the bottom line is, everyone feels like they can do it. And everyone can beat the game. Metroid Dread is a difficult game. It's not the most difficult game. It is a game, though, that makes you, quote, unquote, get good. When people want their hands held, that's just not the genre. Metroidvania games are not hand-holding games. So, again, this is where I feel like it's not going to be for everyone. But it's not supposed to be. Right. So, if you expect it to be a hand-holding experience, there's like a billion games for you to play besides this one. So if you're someone who likes that, quote, what was the super chat? Just, there was no words, just fist bumps. Who is it? Rick Stains. Thank you, Rick Stains, for the console. Thanks, man. Deion Kirk wants to know, they say that their OLED pre-order has been indefinitely delayed by Walmart. They're wondering if they should wait it out or try their luck with GameStop or Target. I would wait it out. And let me explain why. What happened is, Walmart allowed more pre-orders than units received. So, if you wait it out, Walmart will eventually get you one in one of their next shipments, which they should be getting at least one shipment per week, pending obviously any shipment delays. So, you could try your luck. I mean, if you have the money, you could say, keep your Walmart pre-order, but try to get it at other places and then cancel Walmart if you get the other ones. So, if you don't have the money, because this might be a situation where, if I don't cancel that order, I can't afford it. That's a tough one. I would say keep the guaranteed order you have because you're not guaranteed to get it anywhere else. Walmart, just talk to their customer support and they'll let you know if they think you should get a refund. You can obviously get it refunded. That's not a question, but the question is, should you wait? And Walmart will be pretty honest. Walmart customer support is actually pretty honest with you when you ask them, hey, are you going to actually fill this order? Yeah, they probably will. I know it's a bit of a tough one and I feel bad because not only did I get one early, I had two other pre-orders and both of them arrived on time. So it's kind of like, I don't know. I didn't have a problem, but I'm not everyone. Great. I have more questions we got, you think? Two. Two? Two, two. You're playing hard mode and it feels easier. Yeah, I think that's just because once you beat the game and you unlock that mode, your skill level at the game is increased to a point that when you restart the game in hard mode, it doesn't feel as hard as it did when you first started playing because your skill level in the game is so much higher. What I have recorded that I'm going to show in the video because I don't want to show any of the later stuff and spoil anything, it's going to look like I'm not very good at Metroid Dread. I'm significantly better at Metroid Dread right now than I was four days ago. But the thing is, I don't want to show you the footage from now because it might spoil things. So that's what happens is like now, if I restarted Dread even on a harder mode, I would still feel like I'm significantly ahead of where I start. Also, the fact that just from you saying that it's unlocked after you beat the game, you already know to a certain extent what's coming. They may change a couple of things up, but you have a good idea of what's coming next so you can anticipate more. You can be ready for other things. So that might be also another playing factor into what might be. Hello, Seth. In my opinion, Dread looks good and it looks like it plays good, but it doesn't look good. I would say... But they haven't played it. Yeah, I would say one. That already makes your opinion almost not quite invalid. It's an opinion. You'll have to have it. So the opinion is... Yeah, looks like it plays well. Yeah, looks like a great game, but it doesn't look game of the year. Here is why they say that. It's a 2D side scrolling platform. It doesn't look like God of War. It doesn't look like Breath of the Wild. It doesn't look like these other games that win game of the year. By the way, Hades was a game-winning game of the year. There was a top-down 2D-ish perspective. I'm sorry. My thing is, people are too quick to judge a book by its cover. The kind of game this is, the side-scrolling nature of it, makes people automatically lower the tier of game it is for some odd reason. Which makes no sense, because this is the tier of gaming that we grew up on as children. At least us, we did. Yeah. Maybe not you. So the thing is, yes, obviously 3D, open world, all this stuff is wonderful, but that's not the only way to game and game in very high quality. Metroid Dread. I'll just say it right now. It's better than Metroid Other M. And Metroid Dread is better than a hell of a lot of other Switch exclusives. I'll throw it around. This might be controversial. Metroid Dread is better than National Chain. Metroid Dread is better than Mario Odyssey. Mario Odyssey was up for some game of the years. Might even be better than Breath of the Wild, to be honest. But I just enjoy the kind of game Breath of the Wild this more. So, yeah, I don't know. This is just, it's all personal preference. I can't fault you for looking at it and going, ah, that can't be game of the year. I can't fault you for that. That's your personal preference. But I don't look at games that way. Hollow Knight has just as much of an ability to be game of the year as Horizon. Or as a Zelda game. One question we've already covered. When's the last time a 2D side scroller won a game of the year since the year 2000? Let's see. That's what I was trying to figure out. But literally, the first thing that came to my mind was Hollow Knight back in 2017. Let's see here. It did win a bunch of awards. It did not win a game of the year award. What's another side scroller that's really highly rated? I'm trying to think. I haven't played all of them. I hate these comes to mind, and that won some game of the year awards, but that's on a side scroller, technically. Are we talking from the game award? No, just in general, anywhere. Best side scroller game. Let's see here. I have Shovel Knight's one. That one, I think? I'm just thinking outside my head. Won Best Indie Game, but that's not the same thing. And again, it may not win a game of the year, but it could be nominated. It won Best Debut Game. It won Best Indie Game, Best Original Game. I don't think Donkey on Travel will freeze one. It's been a while. I mean, oh, Dead Cells. Why do I forget Dead Cells? I'm going to look up the exact awards Dead Cells won. Dead Cells won a shitload of awards. God, I can't believe I totally forgot about Dead Cells. Dead Cells is amazing. Celeste? Yeah, look up Celeste too. Dead Cells. Because Dead Cells is literally the same style, like the same metrivania. So a reception. It won Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick Awards. Game of the Year 2018 for Celeste. It won Best Action Game, Best Independent Game, Best Music Score, Excellence in Gameplay Award. So that one never won, but Celeste won Game of the Year? 2018, apparently. Maybe that's why this one didn't get it. So Celeste. I believe. Unless it was only nominated. Hold on. Awards. Nominated. IMBD has the awards. Believe it or not. Oh, wow. Of all places. So it won Best Game. It won Best Game at the BAFTA Awards in 2019. Okay. It won Game of the Year at the Game Developer Choice Awards as well. And it was... Yeah, so I mean, I don't know. It was a nominee for Game of the Year at the Game Awards in 2018. Ah, okay. Yeah, so I mean, look, obviously you can sit there and argue that it's not very often that games like this are up for Game of the Year. But it does happen. I mean, even like, so like Celeste nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. Dead Cells nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. And I guarantee you Metroid Dread will be nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. Will they win any? Yeah, will Metroid Dread win any? I have no idea. It is Game of the... It is worthy of being nominated. Yeah, but it's worthy of being nominated. Like Celeste was nominated for a Crapple of the Game of the Year awards. Bottom line is Celeste was worthy of being a Game of the Year nominee. Like, I know you're talking about, you know, when's the last time it won? Okay, yeah, but when's the last time they've been worthy? Actually, quite recently Celeste and Dead Cells were both worthy of Game of the Year nominations. So, yeah, I would say this genre still can produce Game of the Year type games. And as for Metroid Dread, it's kind of lucky a little bit that it's releasing in the year that it is. It's been a bit of a light year. What other Game of the Year nominees would I even consider at the exact moment right now? I mean, maybe Ratchet and Clank you throw out there. I think it's gonna rank ahead of that. Most of PlayStation 5's games were delayed. I think it's gonna rank ahead of Returnal for sure. There's still some big games that come out this holiday, but sometimes those games don't make it into the awards because they come out too late. It's gonna beat out back for blood for sure. So I think, you know, you kind of have to look at the scope of gaming this year. It's been a bit of a light year for those Game of the Year kind of games, which perfectly opens the door for Metroid Dread, a game that would have been nominated anyways, to win. Now we'll see. Obviously, we'll see at the Game Awards and Back to Awards and Game Developers Conference and Golden Joystick and everyone else. Will it win some awards? Absolutely. It'll probably win the best Nintendo game. Maybe. I don't know. Should we go with Tentsy 5? One more really, really quick one for you. When do you think Splatoon 3 will come out? Summer. June next year. Because people are saying maybe holiday. June. June? Okay. Cool. Hold Your Horses Sonic Mania should have been considered. Yeah, Sonic Mania was really good too. That was the best Sonic game we've had in the hell of a long time. All right. Well that's going to do it. I know it's super short guys. Sorry. I have a League Madden game to go to. So if you want to continue chatting with me or Eric, you absolutely can. Just head on over to twitch.tv.nintendoprimeTV. I know lots of TVs in there. It is what it is. twitch.tv.nintendoprimeTV. And I will be streaming over there in a little bit playing Madden in my League and playing my week one game. We'll see. I don't think week two is going to happen yet but I think we advance to week two tomorrow. Anyways, thanks for tuning in. Thanks. Peace out. Bam.
