 Hey everyone, I am Nathaniel Ruffal-Jantz and you guys know me because I am the person that makes about 95% of all the video content you see here on Nintendo Prime's YouTube channel and today Well, I think it was actually last night. Maybe it was early this morning, but we hit 21,000 subscribers And I know for most YouTube channels that's not a big deal, right? Like your first thousand's a big deal then five then 10 15 20 etc But the thing is is this channel used to be the Zelda Informer YouTube channel and That channel had 20,000 subscribers had a little over 20,000 subscribers and when it became the Nintendo Prime channel I didn't know how many people were gonna stick around and we ended up losing, you know a good 800 or so Subscribers in the changeover, which I guess I kind of expected But we bounced back and now we hit 21,000 which I view as Nintendo Prime's first thousand subscribers the people who have subscribed from 20,000 to 21,000 didn't subscribe when we were Zelda Informer they subscribed when we became Nintendo Prime and I really want to thank you guys for Subscribing because I am trying to Turn my life around right I used to be the editor-in-chief at Zelda Informer Which is a pretty cushy job a lot of work with cushy job Making decent money enough to take care of my family and now I'm venturing out on my own on this this project with all of you guys Both on this YouTube channel and over at Nintendo Prime net I mean there's a lot of people who watch this YouTube channel who probably don't even know that we post news and all that stuff over at Nintendo Prime net and that we even have a Facebook page with 55 56,000 subscribers and like a Twitter that has like 1500 But I don't really care because my goal with this YouTube channel is to make content that you guys care about Regardless of whatever else is going on at Nintendo Prime, right? I don't want this channel to just be a side dish as it were to the main course I want everything that Nintendo Prime does whether it's social media Whether it's our website or whether it is the YouTube channel to be me to be all of me, right? to be myself unedited and fully out there for you guys and What I want to know now that we've hit our first thousand subscribers is what content? Do you like the most in what content would you like to see more of moving forward now? Obviously, I can look at things like viewer counts and Kind of discern from that what people like more obviously you guys like when I I talk about news and You know I report on it and then throw a little opinion on there in my viewpoint I see some of you guys like that I see some of you guys like it whether I'm on camera some you guys prefer me to have gameplay some people prefer me to Play games Obviously our most popular video that we've thrown up in the past few months has been when I battled Goma in Ocarina of Time and a remaster which Whatever people loved it and hated it But you know we also have that series where like I just play games whether it's Puyo Puyo Tetris whether it's been Various unreal engine for remasters. I've done a few of those, but I'd like to dive into some more games I know there's some people that also follow this channel just for my breath of the wild live streams Which I apologize. I have not done one in like a month now I know I'm getting behind but as you can see with my game stack over here There's been more and more switch games coming out that I want to play including one called NBA Playgrounds, which I just can't afford right now but there's just a lot going on and I Want to hear from you folks on Where you would like to see me continue to grow this channel and in what avenues because reality is I can't Do everything that I want to do We have the Nintendo Prime podcast which I know it hasn't gone up yet this week But it should be either hitting today or tomorrow. It is a single episode about 40 minutes long But I think you guys are gonna really enjoy it. We talked about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Puyo Puyo Tetris which came out last week and in addition to that we have a Lot of other little videos coming out. We have our follow-up to the Great Plateau video part 2 That's in development right now by Daniel But I really just want to say how much I appreciate you guys subscribing and I hope you look forward to more content in the future Whatever that future may be because you guys are on this wild ride with me Where I'm a little random and unsure exactly what direction we're going to take with this channel But your feedback is going to be key to letting me know what kind of content you'd like to see me push more forward And how you would like to see me cover events such as E3 and My girlfriend's laughing in the background that she's staring down at me. Anyways This is Nathaniel Ruffeljans from the center prime saying thanks, and I'll see you guys next time
