 Hey everyone, welcome to Nintendo Prime. Sorry if the audio is a little weird. I actually have some new audio equipment on order because my current setup is not working the way that I would like it to. However, hopefully you're seeing a nice increase in video quality here. This is our first 4K 60 video, I think ever on the channel. So hopefully you enjoy that. Now, before we get into the news where we're talking about a next-gen game coming to Switch and we're talking about Monster Hunter, a new Monster Hunter game for Switch, I gotta remind you of our giveaway. We're giving away a copy of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition. To enter all you need to do is comment on this video, like this video, subscribe to the channel and hit that bell icon. We also have our second giveaway, the September giveaway has started.

The Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition will be given away at the very end of this month of August and then we'll conclude the Switch Lite giveaway at the end of September. Also, if we hit 50,000 subscribers before, BEFORE November 1st of 2020, we will give away a PlayStation 5, an Xbox Series X or a Nintendo Switch. Now, let's talk about this crazy, crazy, crazy stuff happening in the video game industry. First up, we have our first next-gen third-party multi-platform game coming to Switch. Now, to be fair, it's also coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, so obviously it's kind of a multi-generational game, but we're talking about the Lord of the Rings Golem. So, as you're seeing here in the footage, they're not really showing a whole lot in the footage. The game's not going to be very combat-based or anything, but they kind of detailed it after they put this video out there. If you want to reference it, you might think of it as similar to Prince of Persia. It is mostly a non-combat game, but Golem will be able to stealthily take out enemies. However, this will not be easy and will always come with big risks. We want players to carefully weigh these encounters. After all, Golems' strengths lie in cunning, not combat. They went on to say the decisions you make affect the way the game feels. You always play either as Smeagol or Golem as the dominant persona and that can influence animations, soundscapes, certain gameplay situations, and in-game dialogue. Go on to say that we start our story parallel to the first book when Frodo is still in the Shire and knows nothing about anything. Golem, at that time, ventures to Mordor, still desperately looking for Bilbo Baggins and the Ring. Unfortunately, he gets caught by Sauron's servants, and this is basically where the story begins. So, really, really cool that we're getting that, but we're going to quickly, quickly, quickly just talk about it briefly before we move on to the Monster Hunter news because I really want to talk about the Monster Hunter stuff. It's very interesting to see that we are getting a next-gen game coming to Switch. Now, this might like make you think that Switch Pro must be real, right? It must be legit, legit as hell because this is a next-gen game, but I have no idea. It's announced for a Nintendo Switch, so they're not saying Switch Pro, they're not saying. The next generation of Switch, like that one Kickstarter, said, they're saying literally Nintendo Switch as it is right now. So, hey, cool, comes at the end of 2021. Now, we have some news about a new Monster Hunter game coming to Switch. Capcom is finally coming through. Let's get into that news coming from a user on Twitter. So, this guy is known as Dusk Golem, a.k.a. aesthetic gamer, and he says a lot of stuff about the Resident Evil engine and the Resident Evil series, but this is where we get into the Monster Hunter Switch game. So, he says in other news, Resident Evil 8 will most likely be great. Resident Evil 4 is a bit of a worrying in position right now. Silent Hill is still in development. Something Shenmue related will be revealed in one to two weeks. A PlayStation 5 event, first half of September, Monster Hunter Switch is being revealed soon. Have a good day. And to elaborate on two things, Monster Hunter Switch is running on a Switch compatible version of the Resident Evil engine, which is why I've been posting whenever I've been talking about it for the last few months. It's supposed to be the Resident Evil engine logo. Now, he goes on and later tweets to talk about how they did try to get Resident Evil 7 running locally on Switch a while ago. It didn't work, but the Resident Evil engine itself that made that game does run on Switch. They just couldn't get RE7 to run in a way that they were satisfied with. And we all know RE7 came out digitally, or I should say as a streaming service in Japan, but we never saw it outside of Japan. Anyways, point is, they're making a new Monster Hunter game for Switch. Now, I talked about this not too long ago, actually, on a live stream where I mentioned, you know what, Capcom's got to have a Monster Hunter in the works for Switch, right? Clearly, they have a Monster Hunter game in the works for Switch. So, this is really, really, really, really exciting stuff. And, man, just imagining what they could do with this, using a brand new engine, not using the old engine they were using on 3DS and Wii U and Wii, but actually using a more modern, current day engine. This is just, it really excites me to see what they could do with it on Switch. Now, it's obviously not going to look as good as Monster Hunter World, but I mean, that game was made for a platform way more powerful than Switch, but it's still going to be something that's going to be cool to see them probably make a more traditional Monster Hunter game. I don't think they're going to go the more action adventure, the kind of more western-styled Monster Hunter we saw on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, all that. I think they're going to stick more with the way that Monster Hunter has been on Nintendo, based systems as whole time to try to satiate the original fans of Monster Hunter versus satiating the new fans. But who knows? All bets are off the table. I said a long time ago that Monster Hunter World wasn't coming to Switch, that they clearly had to have something unique in the work, because Monster Hunter was exclusive to Nintendo platforms through a marketing deal or through a licensing deal, or whatever it was between Nintendo and Capcom for a number of years. They have to bring the IP to, you know, a 60 plus million console at some point. And that some point appears to be soon, maybe even next year, as it's supposed to be revealed soon. Now, when is it going to be revealed? Is it another partner showcase? Is there a big Nintendo Direct in September? I know it hurts talking about Nintendo Direct sometimes, especially since all the leakers were, I guess, wrong or something. I just know that there has to be game announcements coming for Switch soon. And it appears that Monster Hunter from Capcom is joining the announcement party very, very soon. Also, technically at Gamescom, they just teased a potential Astral Chain 2. They didn't really say it's happening yet, but they kind of inferred Capcom did that, hey, Astral Chain 2, not Capcom, sorry, Platinum kind of threw out there that Astral Chain 2 is something that's percolating. And the first game actually sold really, really well on Switch for a Platinum game. So a second one in the works being for that is pretty expected at this point. So three biggest games coming to Switch. And again, a next-gen multi-platform game coming to Switch. That to me is big news. Anyways, folks, I want to thank you guys for tuning in. Remind you to enter our couple giveaways you got going on right now. Try to help us get the 50,000 subscribers. And oh boy, I'll catch each and every one of you guys in the next video.
