 Welcome back to the Nintendo Prime Podcast, episode 73 I believe, or 72 somewhere in there. Whatever episode number it says in the title is the episode number it is. How are you guys doing today? We're starting the live show version of this a bit later than usual. I've had a lot of issues, a lot of tech issues and other things behind the scenes that had to just delay things, could get my camera to get recognized by my computer and any application so that was a problem and then I was like should I Jerry rig up my webcam and make that work and we don't have any Eric today because well as I said last week Eric might be gone for the next five to six weeks so you might not see him for a while it might be almost Black Friday by the time you see Eric back here but that doesn't mean we are gonna have a show. So as always I am your host Nathaniel Rumpeljantz and to my right you guys have Mr. Mike Odyssey how's it going buddy? Going on. Mike looks concerned. He was just trying to get all serious and centering his camera a little bit in my frame. Yeah so we're gonna put on a show next week we will have three people I already have a guest confirmed for next week and one after and one after and you guys kind of see how it goes. We're gonna keep this thing rolling as best we can and we'll adjust the layout and stuff as we go here. I've got other layouts I wanted to use besides this one actually this one conveniently just converts really well into a two person layout but when I might have three or four we're gonna switch things up a bit and switch the graphics and everything but we'll worry about that down the line. For now this is what you get today and we're gonna be talking about a couple things yes another three we'll talk about that again and we'll just all be about the voice actor situation although I thought we were done with it and then Monday happened so that's a thing we'll talk about that it's kind of a it's almost an embarrassing moment if I'm honest if it was me I'd feel a little bit embarrassed. We also have more happening because maybe there's a new switch coming next year and we're gonna talk about why that might be the case don't know if it'll be a pro or two or what it's something with upgraded harbor we'll get into that in a moment before we do hi everyone I want to get into what have you been playing lately and I'll start because for me it's super simple I'm sitting here glancing at my switch and I'm wondering what did I actually play lately and the bottom line is the last time I played sparks of hope which I did live stream with you guys is still loaded on my switch which means I have not touched my switch since a live stream I will say this though it's not because I don't want to play games there's really no other way to say this I might make a standalone video on it later and I know a lot of people are gonna say things like take a break or run away do what you need to do but I'm just my depression is back guys I'm I don't really know how to talk that much about it cuz so much of it is a personal thing but depression has been really kicking my ass for I'd say at least two three maybe four days now and honestly I've got like two things that I look forward to every day one of them is seeing my smiling fiancee before I go to bed and the other one is making content for you guys that's one reason why it's like no I'm not gonna stop making condo how would I get rid of one of the few things that distracts me from the mess that's going on in my head right now so I do apologize if my regular content isn't coming out if I don't have the Prime 5 rock and I know I really have been doing that and just my videos are kind of random because it's all about when I feel good enough to be able to do it and you know when's the right time for for me to tackle content tackle the stream our podcast and everything else this isn't something I really want you guys concerning yourselves with I'm already getting help it's all good I'll be okay I've been in this position before I know how to get out it's just gonna take me a while it's just the way it is it's a process anyone who's ever had depression knows most of you guys don't ever get out my fiancee certainly has never gotten out she's had her whole life I've gotten out now I'm back in that obviously means yeah it never really goes away it just kind of subsides if you're lucky I will get it to subside again but until then you might go on I play games I just don't feel like it I grab my switch I look at it and I'll be honest I was so angry the other day I threw it all the way across the room I'm credit to Nintendo it didn't break or maybe it's credit to the case I have it and didn't break I don't know so I don't trust myself to even try to play a video game because if one frustrating thing happens in the game I will probably break my switch I even played some madding games happen to win them but I kept thinking what if I would have lost what I've chucked my controller at this TV because it's not even about the games it's about everything else in my life and I don't need any more negativity thankfully this channel is a positive thing in my life my fiancee is a positive thing my children can be here and there if you're a parent you know being a parent is stressful now get out of it I want to obviously have credit to Mike I've talked a little bit to him about this stuff it's always nice to know I got a friend anytime I need one and I want to thank the community for being here and supporting and the videos and watching all this stuff and sticking to this podcast so if I if you guys ever notice I'm a little off you know why I don't want to keep talking about it I just want to make my content do my live streams when I feel like it and kind of just live my life and I'll always let you guys know if I am not gonna be okay and I will let you know when I'm on the other side of it hopefully sooner rather than later that being said that's why I haven't played anything Mike what have you been playing lately well hmm a lot of surprisingly I did play Sparks of Hope for a little bit got to 1% I 1% did it then and then I've been playing for some reason and I'm crossing mostly you know I'm there with you Nate I know how I know how it feels to you know be at that position been there for you know for many many years you know and everybody finds a way to to to climb out of it you know of course for like for some people other the loved ones you know as somebody who who look at this guy 1% and then and I'm crossing yeah yeah I 1% it Sparks of Hope so I'm done with that one so for somebody who who who has been there you know what really helped me was seeing counseling in the church and that basically I help a lot you know what I mean for some people everybody has their own ways of finding finding their their their peace and their way out of the you know I call it a like a hole sometimes we dig our we dig ourselves into sometimes the hole finds us and we just fall into it without fault of our own but that's how I find it and if I I encourage you guys to you know to find to maybe seek a church around you finds if there is any part of it who that offers that type of help seek it because in my case it helped me a lot it helped me a lot it really did I was on my own for almost homeless I used to be homeless so you know I went through a whole lot of issues to myself you know so and that that's how I was able to find peace but I wanted to you know wanted to offer that just in case you know but what I've been playing Animal Crossing I went to Animal Crossing for some reason like I always go back to that game because it's so calming relaxing whenever you have a stressful day or something situation I just go back for some reason I go back to Animal Crossing it's like a little world you know and then although I go back to it and my villagers don't remember me because I've been gone for years I just like to go back to it and do stuff but I also been playing Spark to Hope Animal Crossing and played a little Mario I was able to finish Mario 3D the Wii U version 1 the new Super Mario Brothers Wii U is it? Wii U Super Mario Brothers Wii U Deluxe yeah and then I'm on to finishing my last Mario and then I've finished I have played all of them and finished all of them which is I'm still working on the one for Mario Sunshine yeah Mario Sunshine I go I go back to it every once in a while and play a little bit but my goal is to actually finish every Mario game so that that's my last one so far I finished the Mario run game including that one but yeah yeah that's what I've been cool all right well this is obviously a big week for a lot of people we have been at a three coming out so some people are super stoked for that some you guys are playing Spark to Hope right now some you guys are waiting for Pokemon Scarlet Violet next month heck some of you guys are probably playing Persona 5 Royale that came out recently like people playing that maybe some of you are still checking on your Autobot as well it came out a couple weeks back it's been a pretty packed release late and November doesn't really slow down for Switch there is a lot of big games coming out then it kind of slows in December as far as we're aware picks back up in January February's loaded March right now not so much but then we have Zelda in May so maybe they're gonna have like a little light month maybe some third parties can come in maybe we'll get Hogwarts legacy dropped in there some point or some other third party games fill in the gaps but then we got Zelda of course in May 12th forget about the forget about the February Nintendo Direct probably that's where they'll probably direct yeah yeah they're also gonna probably start ramping up obviously Mario movie advertising at some point we'll probably get a new trailer possibly before the end of the year definitely probably one that appears in movie theaters with all the family movies we'll probably get Zelda advertising ramp up at some point maybe it'll start the February direct maybe it'll be before that we got game awards coming up you could see Mario movie yeah there could see Zelda there and Zelda will at least be up for most anticipated game I'm sure so you'll at least see it named there maybe if they show the award on screen yeah but yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be an interesting time we have a lot of stuff packed into basically like a six month period right now and that's that's that's really nice you know we sometimes go through dry spells as Nintendo fans where we don't have a lot of exclusives coming and we're just talking about some indie games there's some third-party stuff and here we have some big third-party and big indie and big Nintendo games all in six months and I find that to be quite glorious and I'm sure the other platforms might get a little bit jealous sometimes because PlayStation and Xbox 11 really hit their stride with exclusives now they're getting some really big third-party games of course but they haven't hit that that exclusive stride yet that I think's gonna begin next year I mean I know we have got a war Ragnarok here like that's that's gonna be a really big deal on PlayStation 5 but then it might be a bit before you get the next game whereas it's like hey guys we just had sparks oh now we're having Bayonet 3 oh then we have Pokemon oh then we have a remaster of Kirby happening in February then we have Zelda and like we know we have just rapid fire games coming and we don't really know when the next big things coming for PlayStation or the next big thing for Xbox so I think next year is gonna be it I think we're gonna get something early in the year a PlayStation director some sorry state of play is what they call it or whether Xbox shows and they're gonna actually show some stuff and be like hey here's you know they're gonna have three games I think at the beginning of next year for each platform but it's gonna be for now it's nice that we don't have to worry about that we know up to Zelda we got we got stuff to look forward to it's after that that's complete mystery at this point Metroid Prime 4 at some point and that's Pikmin Pikmin 2 Pikmin 4 at some point as well it's supposed to come next year but like those are the only ones we know me on Zelda so I want to not jump into the bayonetta stuff right away because obviously a lot of you guys might be a little tighter to that conversation but we're still gonna have it because we didn't have this part of the conversation on the podcast because I don't think anybody really thought that Helena Taylor was going to say anything else after she said I just want to forget the character and go back to the theater and then when she decided to talk we definitely didn't think she was going to go the route that she did yeah figure she might actually try to defend herself and she feels like she did but it's not really what happened I'm confused but we'll get into that later let's first jump into switch pro switch to new Nintendo platform and why at least I think we might be getting one in 2023 and it's not based on rumors this isn't based on you know some leak out there in video or anything crazy or Nintendo getting hacked like a couple years ago no this is based on two things one Chintura for a cowl repeating three times I went back and checked the investors meetings he said in three separate investors meetings he knows Nintendo has a history of peaking and then falling off a cliff and he wants to prevent that from happening okay now what does that mean we you peaked then you fell off obviously we you bomb DS peaked 3ds is actually the worst-selling handheld Nintendo's ever released so that's a bomb nest peaked SNES not quite as much and then the N64 not quite as much as that and the GameCube not quite as much as the N64 Game Boy Advance never quite reached the heights of the OG Game Boy there's this history with Nintendo that they get really popular with something and then they can't repeat the success and at least not right away obviously the history is okay well every couple every three generations they bounce back but he wants it to just be a continuous thing he doesn't want it to you know you might fall you know you might stumble you might trip and almost fall off the cliff but then you recover and that's what that's what he kind of stated he wanted to happen and then people started speculating on what does this mean what's he gonna do different because Chintura for a cowl is a business person he's not a game developer he didn't come from the game development space so before him we were being run by Chintura Owada who came from game development and so his mindset on how to approach things was completely different than someone who looks at numbers and makes decisions that's what he's been doing his entire career Chintura for a cowl and that's maybe a big reason they thought Nintendo needed a change to a more business oriented person at the top sometimes it's a good thing some of the bad thing usually for investors it's a very good thing for fans it could be a little 50-50 when you have someone worrying more about money than maybe anything else but there can be some benefits to it and the benefit is the number two thing and that is that with Nintendo's history Nintendo's heading towards that history again unless they do something Nintendo switch peaked in 2020 we all know pandemic 28 million in a year and they had 25 million now they projected 20 million this year and it's probably going to be 15 or under projected for next year at least for this particular platform and you can go okay well we're clearly seen that sales decline it's going to be the end of year six by the way it's not the beginning some people are like oh yeah it's going to be the sixth birthday so we're entering the sixth year of switch on March 3rd no no no March 3rd 2023 the platform has been out for six years we're actually beginning the seventh year so we're actually almost done where we're in the tail end in the second half late in the second half of the of the sixth year of switch so we are already past a typical generation for those who don't know six years isn't the normal Nintendo generation it's actually five so we're already yeah we're already it's like six is like max five is their average and that's good I wouldn't do the math on this it's literally about five is their average six is tops and we're already going to be past six probably before anything else comes out now yeah that being said the reasoning that this becomes a conversation isn't just because we're sure Shantara for a call was said it's what's happening in the market right now switch has fallen behind in the MPD behind PlayStation 5 for two straight months it now in the second month falling behind fell behind in terms of revenue to the Xbox which means the Xbox which by the way is selling a system cheaper than the OLED and obviously a more expensive one the series X is getting really close in number sales to the switch and that's here in North America and you can say oh it's only one territory but yeah it's only the territory that makes up 60% of Nintendo's revenue this is a massive territory they have to pay attention to it yes switch is still dominating in Japan but it's year over year sales are actually down okay so it's sinking in Japan as well it's just not as noticeable because well nobody's there seems to care about anything else that isn't a handheld Nintendo platform right now and then you look at the UK charts you're starting to see Nintendo games sinking lower and lower down those charts you're starting to see switch going lower and lower down the charts in Spain and France and Germany and Australia and shouldn't be happening we're heading into the holiday season things should be going up and they are for everybody else for Nintendo they're just kind of staying even keel switches are plentiful they're all over the place they're flooded on shelves Jennifer Kawa told himself he doesn't you know we can't make anymore we also don't think we should make anymore they're not sure we'd sell them and I'm not saying they won't sell out on Black Friday not saying that not saying there will be a massive sales period in December but the writings on the wall that when the calendar turns next January is about to be possibly the worst January for switch to date and the February might be the worst and that March might be the worst we are at the point where it has reached market saturation and that's what the numbers are saying this is just fact-based stuff you can go look it up yourselves as you want I detailed it in a video already today and that's where my argument stems that if Shintura for a Kawa is serious about preventing that cliff and it's a two-part thing not only is he serious and the next platform is just a more powerful version of switch such pro switch to but whatever it is if the next thing Nintendo plans to release is just a more powerful version of this then yes 2023 is the time switch is still relevant it still sells good enough the game sales are still good things are trending in the negative way this is precisely when you want to get something out you don't want to milk it till 2024 till 2025 they did that with we didn't work out for them so well if we if we you would have been the we HD and came out in 2010 would have done way better than the Wii U two years later Nintendo waited too long they waited too long with the DS they waited too long with the nests etc etc etc the writings on the wall and if you want proof that this works you just need to look at basically the number one competitor to Nintendo the PlayStation brand every time their sales start to trend down after they peak they bring out a new platform oh their platform is still popular it's still big PlayStation 4 did 15 million in sales last year now it's doing like zero and the PlayStation 5 is now the top dog that's how you maintain consistent sales generation to generation the road maps already there the question is will Nintendo do it or will they milk switch until nobody wants one and then trying to get the market back so Mike what do you think I think it's it's I want to start by saying this I think that Nintendo's next either upgrade to the switch or next generation console they already have it done it's done it's sitting somewhere somewhere in their top secret headquarters they're just it's there they know what to do with it they know what it does you know it and I hope I really hope that they're actually watching the market and they're planning they're right now they're planning to release this because I think it's time you know I think it's it's time I've always said this look guys if you just bought a switch you don't have to worry you don't have to worry because guess what if Nintendo does release the next-gen console next upgraded whatever I'm pretty sure Nintendo will still continue to support the switch for at least a couple more years three four years look the Wii U and the 3d shop are just closing now from from when Nintendo released a switch in 2017 so if you just bought a Nintendo switch don't frown don't worry I mean it's time for a new console yes it is but don't worry if you just bought one relax you'll still have some service but it is time for for for Nintendo to do something big and better I was reading this article because I made this video a couple days ago and I put I put a switch what I would I think I put a little dead face on the little switch on the little switch like that like a little dead face on the happy face thingy he wouldn't like it that but I mean it is what it is and my point there was based on an article that the emoto I was in where he said that Nintendo is always looking for the next best way to play a game so they're trying not to mimic the prior generation console but looking for new ways to to to you know create a good experience when it comes to gameplay and I was like no don't try to don't try to go don't don't wander too off because you come along way with the switch and you kind of almost perfected the form factor of having people giving the people a choice whether they want to play on handheld mode and on dock mode so you actually made people save some money and not sell them a dock a console and a handheld you're selling them two in one and I think that that is that is the success of the switch itself people that are buying the switches because okay yeah I can I can actually now play it while holding it in my hand and I also dock it now Nintendo needs to concentrate on power that's basically it they they they perfected okay we have a Nintendo switch on power if there is if there was any doubt any doubt that power could fit in a small form factor steam deck just rolled through and said hey look at me okay so if there was any doubt that we can have a console that could also be docked but also handheld and still have at least a ps4 performance you know in dock mode in handheld mode and steam deck proved them wrong so I'm expecting the Nintendo at least you know don't don't want it to off if you want to add a brand new feature okay a brand new gig gimmick feature like they call it you know like the you know every every console has their little gimmick feature if you want to add that brand new gimmick feature go ahead and add it don't wander too far off because you don't want to fall off a cliff and do a Wii U you know error mistake you the Nintendo switch is a great it's a wonderful console you know and I wouldn't be against it if they just went again with the switch brand and then just called it the switch whatever ultra or switch pro or switch whatever but don't wander too often it is time for Nintendo to release the next console um yeah I was I was also going through the history of how long did Nintendo wait before the next console and the longest the majority was five years the longest was six and Nintendo cannot wait they can't go past six because yeah I'm with you Nate the cliff I can see the cliff I can already see it we can already see that cliff and they're gonna they're gonna fall hard if they don't really you know get on top of this now I think now believe it or not after they already said okay there you can show they're they're they're desperate with selling these consoles maybe they have consoles sitting in a warehouse a lot they're trying to make them additions and if you look at it it's just a switch OLED the white version that they're just putting more paint on it because that that's basically what we have here with the um switch platoon version the white version with some paint on it and then different joy cons the pokemon one it's the white version paint on it different joy cons you know and they have these joy cons they have a lot of joy cons they have the joy cons to to put paint on and then combine with this white switch and just made another addition that's they're just their way of saying we want to get rid of the stock that we have because we have too many or we made too many but nintendo just needs to hopefully now i'm hoping that that at least with with um tears of the kingdom you know tears of the kingdom i know that they said that not this fiscal year it ends in march 2023 i'm hoping actually doesn't tears of the kingdom come in may that's the next fiscal year may may 12th yes so that's the next fiscal year that actually makes it even more of a of a better release time for the next gen switch along with that next um zelda game because it's not this fiscal year in march it's actually the next one so i mean i it's it's time i think nintendo's gonna do it i hope they they are in um you know it's time man it's time i don't want i don't want to see this company go now you know go down and and i mean the nintendo's nintendo's then they're not going anywhere i'm just saying that i hope they that uh he follows through with those comments because um we really do we really do need a a stronger switch you know i mean i think that people will be happy with uh with with uh a stronger switch you know yeah well so so i see you know the the arguments i've seen uh against my video today are mostly oh i recently got a switch or i have a huge backlog i got a lot of stuff to play and that's all fine none of that's not a reason to bring out a system because the reasons it's a numbers game this isn't about whether you think the switch needs more performance or not and there's plenty of people who think it does this isn't about whether or not i personally want them to release a new one this is just looking at the numbers and going hey nintendo just had a hundred million plus generation they want every generation to be a hundred million plus so what's the best route to get there and the best route especially especially if they're releasing a second platform that's like switch the best route is to take advantage of the current market and you can't take advantage of that market if it no longer exists by the time you release it i know people might go oh but like if we wait till 2025 um they're definitely would still there'd be like 140 150 million switches out there yes and how many of them would still be actively being used and played that's what matters how many active consumers you have if your active consumer base is only 10 million by then guess what there's your audience for your next platform because everyone else moved on to something else yeah and that's why like i feel like hey if nintendo is is going to use the playstation the the the playstation game the playstation way of doing things yeah next year is it you drop it next year whether you drop it with zelda whether you drop it at the end of the year for the holiday so you want to wait for that you have a big mario game you want to launch with it and then you can advertise oh by the way this year's game of the year zelda game is upgraded on here in 4k or whatever they wanted you to help market it maybe they even package it together with a bundle i have no idea for the holidays that would be crazy but you got the words right out of my mouth man because i was like that is the perfect way to transition to another console and it's basically letting letting these 100 million users know they won't lose if they they upgrade their switches their games are backward compatible they can log into the brand new one and keep playing the games but with an added benefit an added something okay uh oh you played um mario odyssey guess what play it on the brand new uh whatever system but with this dlc added to it something that only the brand new console can do you know or like and that like hey uh with dlss you can now see it in crispy 4k on your television because the lss doesn't need you to up the native resolution of the game that's not what dlss does they could take any game yeah and do it that's a really good selling part and full backwards compatibility your cartridges just work you could transfer all your save files thanks to cloud the cloud transfer system yeah i mean they have a they have it in place they have it in place it's set up a smooth transition get everyone over full backwards compatibility all games probably coming out for the for the first year of the platform might still be cross-platform with the old switch so you give those people time to contemplate time for officer nintendo to get enough units on shells because probably sold out at launch and you just go from there uh and again i don't know if they call it a pro it could be a pro or one call it a pro a new nintendo switch or whatever they call it if they're going to call it if they're going to keep it in the same family of systems fine that's nintendo's choice if it's going to be a brand new generation it really doesn't matter as long as it's more powerful yeah and it's powerful enough that people care yeah like it can't just be a tag or x1 that is just running a stock basically it's gonna have to be more um there's there's a common there's a few common things in the chat i found a little funny during the live version here and that's like someone mentioned like oh it's like 15 years behind in tech it's not 15 years behind in tech guys 15 years ago 15 years ago playstation 3 xbox 360 and we were the current systems 15 years ago switch is way more powerful than that generation it's using architecture that's current as of 2015 so let's let's set that aside a little bit there uh if you want to argue it's still behind the ps4 in power that's fine well i mean we're we're talking about a decade not 15 and even then even then it was still using more modern architecture it's just it's a handheld what are you gonna do it's the most powerful handle in the world at the time it came out yes we know there's steam deck and other options out there at this time but nothing that's touching the sales of switch um because that's also someone else mentioned like oh it isn't shouldn't intend to worry about steam deck now that you can just readily buy one and they ship it right away it's no longer a waitlist guys you can go on to val's website right now and buy a steam deck they'll ship it i don't know maybe not same day but the next day and you'll you'll have it you know within the same week you can order on monday and have it by friday that's awesome i'm glad that's the case let me know when it's in retail and then i'll tell you it's a problem for nintendo until until it's it's right now it's one place to buy it it's not my children do children know what a steam deck is it's a serious question do any of you have children and do they know what a steam deck is if the answer is no then it's not a threat to nintendo do your parents know what a steam deck is the answer is no then it's not a threat to nintendo the people who know what a steam deck is are the people that wanted a steam deck in the first place yeah gamers like real gamers like gamers like the hardcore the pc gamers the ones that always wanted a pc game but they don't like mouse and keyboard they want something that's more simplified those that want their third party games on switch but they want them in better resolution better frame rates those are the kind of people it appeals to but the whole of the switch is general audience any concern nintendo ain't worried about no steam deck and even it ain't even considered a competitor the sales numbers it does it's best selling month ever at least according to the units they have shipped literally is less than a week worth of sales for for nintendo we're you're talking numbers that are so paltry nintendo laughs at the idea that steam deck is even considered a competitor by some they laugh they're still let me put it this way it's selling less than the damn we you did the we you was selling bigger numbers in its first year than steam deck and we you was a failure for nintendo they ain't even ain't even in nintendo's thought process they don't care they're using AMD technology that things big and bulky nintendo looks at that and goes oh so they made a powerful fisher price well we're going to come out with something that's almost on par much sleeker much sexier and it's going to blow up in the market because we're going to have it in retail day one yeah yeah and they have to back it up or we what we can take away from this is that nintendo is is first thing there's no comparison between the steam deck and nintendo or even steam the you know volv and nintendo they're they're nintendo is a huge giant skyscraper of a company and then we have this little building on the side like very low down which involves a company who makes steam deck so there's no comparison there at all you know you could arguably uh you can argue that that steam deck is is uh i would say what's the word it's it's still in that beta you know it's like a beta console it's not really a full fledg brand name console that is that everybody knows and it's it's a it's a you know what it has the potential to be you know so we can't really take away too much about what what steam deck nintendo is just a massive of a company they've been allowed since those the 80s i mean they they're you know this before the 80s 70s with the cards but you know but what you can say from this is that nintendo is a trend setter because you know we've we've had handheld consoles before but it's not until nintendo's released a switch that we started seeing what this type of handheld console can do a playstation tried it with the vita you know they tried it they they they sold their amount whatever but then they completely got rid of it because it wasn't really selling for them that much they really they hadn't figured out the formula nintendo comes up with the switch i mean a hundred million that there's no arguing that but then now we have the steam deck now we have the anio now we have a whole bunch of other companies who are basically making their own versions of the handheld console that look almost identical you know like the switch do when in handheld mode so you can call nintendo they're a trend setter and it's a good thing you know because competition it's good it's good for for for the for the you know for us for us if we see some some some some company rise up because they were inspired by the nintendo switch in the handheld mode and create an amazing beast of a console you know that we got to applaud them we've got to say hey thank you good job hopefully that that is successful just no you're not you're not competing with this one you're getting your you're you know you're rising up getting on your thing do your thing but um nintendo is always going to be nintendo the switch is always going to be switch and then everybody everybody else is always going to follow the trend i know about trend setting and about following trends because i i'm not going to say i work for the for the first trend setter in the world but i gotta say you know i do you know anyway but you know basically that's what it is nintendo is being a trend setter when it comes to to the handheld market and steam deck i neo there's there's another one okay i keep forgetting the other the other um console but um they all have switched to thank for you know because nintendo just busted a door open and created a new market um with powerful handheld um consoles even though switch right now is not greatly powerful but it is um it is a powerful for what it is you know um and it's it's it's done what it's done you know i love the switch and i think it's it's it was a trend setting console and i hope the nintendo's next gen is a trend setting console and julia said time to move on and i really i really do it that because it's time to move on to the next gen at this time and i also think there are some people that know that okay jeers of the kingdom is coming out and i know some people are kind of paused on their excitement for it because again we haven't seen a lot of it i mean we're kind of waiting for the big advertising campaign to start but if the advertising came the advertising campaign starts and the hype levels start to grow really ridiculous nintendo doesn't want to also release that and it's just oh it's on a platform that uh hey we're not releasing a new one till 2024 2025 so we're just going to send this thing out to die for the last two years oh it'll sell really well but then we lose all the evergreen sales no you can either release it with a new platform or release it the same year of a new platform where it gets a second release yeah on a more powerful system or you know an updated release again it's uh it's it's an interesting situation because it's going to probably nintendo's most expensive game they've ever made because press of the wild they stated was their most expensive game ever made and they've spent even longer making this one so they're not going to send that out to die or shouldn't say die because the sales are still going to be incredible if they keep switch going it's still going to be incredible but it's it's not going to be able to have that five years of evergreen sales where if the wild got unless there's something new coming out the new thing's not coming for a couple of years then you're just going to kill the sales there oh backwards compatibility won't matter because they're not going to be advertising that as a selling point for the new platform at that at that point two years later they'll be advertising whatever is coming next uh so yeah absolutely you have to consider that as well you know they they made the mistake with skyward sore which again it's not going to sell skyward sore numbers i can tell you that already but they release skyward sword towards the end as well and they basically send it to die and relative to what tears of the kingdom could sell if they don't get something out sooner rather than later they are sending it out to not be as successful as it could be it another 20 million seller okay if it's timed right with the right hardware either right around the corner or right around the same time that it comes out um and and nintendo is not dumb i think they know that there's also some thoughts out there that hey you know what they haven't really showed us a lot of this game why is it maybe it's because they want to show it off with the new hardware that's true so they're just doing little teases until they announced the hardware and then they could show you boom everything we're going to show you is the best of the best we're showing what looks like on the new stuff you've already seen everything we showed you so far that was on the old switch here's the new and it'll be on both and so like that that's kind of what i you know by the way this is just a theory a lot of people are theorized by the way this isn't a unique one the new hardware will launch for zelda or around zelda and i think that makes sense too uh i don't know that that's gonna be a case again i argued they could wait till holiday and launch it with a mario um or even a mario cart if they if they want to do that mario cart so huge they definitely could use that for a holiday launch no no mario cart but they have DLC running through next holiday so i don't think mario car would be there at least not not not at launch if they want to imagine next gen oh a mario car a deluxe is still alive let's keep well they're gonna have dlc coming out for it still next winter that's why i'm like i kind of think mario cart uh nine or ten or whatever they call the next one i'm sure guys that's already being worked on and will probably come out if the platform comes out holiday next year i'd say it would even if it doesn't just say it comes out around zelda they're still gonna run that mario cart eight deluxe dlc it'll be fully backwards compatible with people who play it on the new one they'll release that new mario cart i think in spring of 2024 yeah it's like hey here's our big game to start off our our next our full our first full year of switch so our first full full calendar year but we'll see i also saw some comments in the chat that apparently i need a beer i told you guys things might be things might be a little weird all right i'm not going to deny i could probably use a vein of it right now um just i just hook up the back hook up the vodka i v right right and right into the let's get tapped right right into the the old arm um yeah i agree with the zelda with the zelda theory about the uh you know the sales uh because right now if you release the nintendo switch not i'm not gonna call it switch i'm gonna i want to see a new name i want to be excited about a new name i think i'm i think they gotta like if they're gonna keep the momentum it's gonna be switched kind of like a playstation still a playstation call the swatch then not the switch because just give me give me something new anyway if they release new nintendo switch the what it'll just be the new nintendo switch you already know the name just call it the new nintendo swatch give me give me something to watch but let me think it's a watch yeah there's probably there's probably a smart watch called the swatch somewhere but i'm gonna look it up right now i bet you it exists someone thought of that name yeah and the game and the swatches totally swatches a brand it's a it's a watch brand that is yes swatch that would have been good i could have been making money there with with the marketing company but anyway you know if they if they would be that you're right if they release the nintendo switch hopefully with with uh the breath of not breath of the wild tears of the kingdom and then the old nintendo switch they will kind of give the game a better push because for those of us who are interested in the next gen that will push us to buy the next gen so it'll actually push the the next gen console for sales and for those who who want to buy it on the current gen it'll also push the current gen sales and when it comes to the actual game so i mean that's the best the best scenario that we get breath of the wild to tears of the kingdom along with that console that way it helps sales for that console it helps sales for the game and um you know nintendo wins at the end but um that's always that's always the hope by the way guys if you're really enjoying the podcast i'd appreciate it if you guys would go ahead and drop those likes that'd be great we got thirty thirty seven likes with a hundred people watching let's let's drop those likes guys thank you so much for tuning in um okay so one thing obviously we always can count on or at least seemingly at this point can count on is that there's going to be new games coming from nintendo and nintendo's partner companies and one of those new games comes out this week band of three and in case you guys don't know there's been a little bit of a controversy around the game that seems at this point entirely self-created and really isn't about the game at all i have a thing i have to thank her i have to thank her though i have to really thank her for the free marketing if you're watching this video yes if you're watching this video i would have not been so much into bayonetta like i am now like seriously before this so entire fiasco thing happened i'm like i'm not just too interested in it because i'm like uh like uh zelda mario kirby mario card you know whatever you know main but because of this entire fiasco i started looking more to bayonetta and just because i wanted to hear um the voice the new voice which by the way fantastic he sounds great what is the name of jan jenya jenna jenna jenna kale jenna fail i won't say taylor that's that's peach that's the old peach um um yeah she sounds fantastic she sounds amazing i'm like you know what i'm gonna get bayonetta three thank you uh helen something baker helena helena helenna it well for for when i look at her name it's It's like it's it's like Helena Taylor, but she pronounces it Helena. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give her credit that she knows how to pronounce her own name. So Helena Taylor. Thank you. Thank you, Helena Yeah, no So I'll say this guys by the time we're done with this topic I want all of us whether you're listening to the audio version at home Whisper it to yourself whether or if you're here in the chat all of us are gonna say a big thank you To Helena Taylor for convincing all of us to buy this game. That's marketing strategy I've ever seen now I'm like Writer a check now they probably should But they want that principle, but they probably should so let's just I'm gonna give a little Cliff note version of everything to date and then we'll get into the new stuff that happened this week because it I Don't even know what else there is this I again I thought we were already done with this and then stuff keeps happening Maybe more stuff will keep happening. I don't know but here's the fun thing about this topic It keeps pushing sales of the game and I love that so you know what you might be tired of this topic I keep it alive everyone. Let's make Bayonetta three hit three four million in sales, man Let's just keep this topic going because it's great. Um, dude Why stop there? How about the bay at the movie with the Nintendo film company? There you go Let's just keep it going so here's here's here's what happened the original voice Hector the voice Bayonetta in a little bit animated series and two games Bayonetta Wanted Bayonetta two Helena Taylor came out a couple weekends ago and Posted three videos to her Twitter account in these videos. She accused them of offering her what she calls Insulting low pay the initial offer was insulting the follow-up offers were insulting and the final offer She said was for $4,000 for the entire game Which again she almost cried at the point to say and that and made people really really was insulting She went on in her other videos, but you're gonna find out in a moment that I just don't It just makes her look even worse because she started comparing her real-world situation that she didn't know where next meal Was gonna come to to nurses during the pandemic who definitely by the way Shouldn't have had to worry about where the next meal was coming from because nurses didn't get off They had to keep working All this she's she is an actress. Yes So keep in mind so So she said I don't know where my next meal is coming from which by the way would if I didn't know where my next Meal was coming from you pretty much just take any money You can get at that point when you're actually that desperate. You're desperate a paid gigs a paid gig I don't take care of your meals, but whatever So So she she made these ridiculous comparisons to people during the pandemic having to go to food pantries By the way, if you're at the point that you need to go to a food pantry for help There's nothing wrong with that. She painted it like it was this big evil thing that oh, isn't this so sad? That's what they exist for People who need it. It's there. I've Supported my family of food pantries before there's nothing embarrassing about that if you feel embarrassed about that That's a you problem So if nurses bust an ass but not getting higher pay having to support their families Not being able to have enough money groceries because prices of everything were rising up and they had to go to food Pantry support their family. Okay. Good. I'm glad they could support their families off of food pantries That's what that's why we have them for the people that need them I don't know really that whole thing was just stupid and then she said that Jennifer Hale the new voice of Bayonetta because she was hired instead of her Can't sign autographs as Bayonetta because she's not the voice of Bayonetta. That's her voice. She owns Bayonetta And then she went into It's just some some other things. I don't really want to get into that Moving on then Camilla came out on Twitter because Camilla doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut I think all they're a liar and made what kind of looked like a veiled threat and it's got his account temporary suspended He obviously was not happy that this was happening to Arguably one of the biggest games platinum has had come out in a while because their last game bombed and bombed bad So like they need this game to do well for them not just Nintendo They need this to do well. It's platinum games has only got ten million dollars in capital according to their official website They don't have a lot of money. They can't absorb failure after failure after failure This is why they have other companies like Nintendo pay them to make games because they can't take on the risk and They did it for one game that one game nearly bankrupt the company They almost bankrupted the company on the one game. They tried to self publish So this is platinum's not sitting there rolling in the dough in the first place. Their CEO isn't making millions Anyways, one of the things she did should make a claim was that the franchise had made $450 million just off game sales, which I think platinum would have more than $10 million in the bank if that was the case But you know what? What do I know? It is what it is I also think Sega were to renewed it for a second game and Not left it to dry and no one else wanted to pick it up Like it sat there for years until Nintendo finally said hey Well, I guess pay for one. Let's see what happens And then obviously we was a really good platform to try it on so they're trying again And if this one bombs which at this point I highly doubt that's gonna happen. Thanks. I'm gonna tailor But yeah, I would think Nintendo would probably stop funding it too Because if they can't sell a game on this platform on this switch Well, then yeah, they clearly the franchises isn't big enough and they got to let it go But I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm pretty sure After this whole fiasco being under four is now guaranteed That being said So he called her a liar Then Jason Shryer came out with a report at Bloomberg Jason Shryer for those who don't know is a video game journalist He's worked at Kotaku and several outlets. He's known as one of the best investigative journalists in all of video games You might not like his politics You might not like the things he believes in and what he stands for but when it comes to his actual job of reporting and investigating on games He's second to none There's very few actual video game investigative journalists that even exist and he's one of the good ones And he's been going after corporations for years bringing up documents calling them out getting them sometimes even in legal trouble He had two sources and a document in his article that apparently was one of the contract offers and He detailed that where it said. Oh, you were actually offered 15,000 not four For the role that four thousand dollar offer was actually the final offered and that was just for a cameo Which meant one session only a handful of lines, you know or whatever it is You know don't know that goes past one session And that when they were negotiating with you you asked for six figures That's basically where the negotiation stopped And and she wanted residuals as well And that's kind of the the brux of that now in that article They did reach out to because he is I told you he's really damn good at his job He doesn't just release articles without asking for comment So he reached out to Helena Taylor before it was published and asked what she thought of she had in the Senate And she said they're lying platinum as liars. They only care about selling copies of their games And Yeah, I'm done with this bayonetta character I'm gonna go back to my work in the theater which is where we found out That's actually her full-time job because the first time she's mentioned Anything even on her profile on on Twitter that she is an actress or whatever in the theater, which is fine Nothing wrong that you don't make a lot of money doing it usually at the local theaters But hey makes enough to make a living. That's cool. Good for her. I I love theater work I go to theater work. I've performed in theaters. I've done musicals. I've done plays I've played in bands that have that have that have been Supporting this stuff when you have live music at these venues and at these musicals and stuff. So I get it Okay, I Love that stuff and I thought that's where the story was gonna end. She's calling him a liar Jason Schreider claims he has proof and You just kind of decide which way way to go I was leaning toward Jason side because he actually had evidence and extra sources and then other journalists were backing him up and Helena Taylor only had herself But then I always said hey if she ever had a response she could bring the receipts She already broke NDA now NDA apparently has been broken the other way So just bring the receipts if everything you said is true just drop the receipts and it's over It's over Done deal then you win well, she came back on Monday and In a series of I don't even know a dozen tweets Detailed out the offers and Provided all the context people wanted how much we paid for the prior game. So we even know if these are bad offers We know that at least according to her And what she detailed was that the initial offer was for $10,000 For the entire game now you might go what that's below what Jason said you're correct. It is She didn't like that 10,000 offer. So she reached out to Kamiya It got a friend. No Japanese reached out to Kamiya Kamiya told her. Hey, we really do value as part of this game. Let's increase the offer by $5,000. So now the offer's 15,000 For the entire game Which is what the article she said was a lie Literally quoted was $15,000 at least 15,000. I think was the wording Okay, so that part of the article check that's true Then she details the final offer which she said well negotiations broke down. It wasn't extensive I'm sure it wasn't after you responded and asked for six figures. I'm pretty sure platinum I'm just shut the door at that point, but whatever 11 months goes by she says and then they reach back out to me and they go Hey, we want to offer you $4,000 for one session to record some lines What did the article say again? The final offer was $4,000 for one session for a cameo Check article correct yet again. So I'm trying to see where the lies are here Then she she brings up the six-figure remark But brings it up in the most ridiculous way because six figures is bare minimum a hundred thousand dollars She decides no no no, let's make this sound like everyone's being ridiculous. Some people are claiming I asked for $250,000 that's ridiculous and an utter lie Well, yeah, that would be a lie I don't know a single-person journalist or anyone besides maybe some boneheads on Twitter that we're saying you ever Asked for $250,000. Are you actually going to address that people were thinking you asked for at least a hundred K? No, you're gonna jump to double to two and a half times that which nobody Realistically thought you asked for 250,000 dollars. That wasn't even something anyone was even contemplating They all figured you asked anywhere from 100 to 150 that was kind of where people were ballparking it because six figures Okay, but we didn't know for sure because the details weren't in the thing because they were never down in writing, right? It was part of the negotiation phase so there wasn't like a document Jason Schreier could look at and go Oh, here's what you countered with because that's not how that went Okay, so she says that then she goes on to talk about how she's hasn't lied about anything And I showed in my video her exact words were $4,000 for the entire game Not some lines She also then details what she was paid for the first and second game the first game. She was paid 3,000 pounds For the entire game, which is at the time roughly $4,000 us that she said for the second game She was paid a little bit more. So I don't know what's a little bit more another thousand. I don't really know what that means by her standards So let's just say it's a thousand so she made 5,000 us probably for the second game And by the way, the second game bombed it was not a success doesn't help that it released on Wii U but it wasn't a success so This time around after the second game bombed They offer her double what she ever made with the prior games and then after she went to commia They opted to triple what you've ever made on the prior games Keep in mind this whole time. She's been arguing She's been she's doing this to fight for better pay for all voice actors while insulting a fellow voice actor along the way Who's one of the best and clearly thought the offer was fine enough that she'd accepted when she's got offers around the block So she doesn't just take any offer. She takes the good ones She's got leverage like that Land of Taylor has no leverage because she hasn't been doing voice acting of anything in a decade except bad And the whole time trouble livable wage and all this stuff and people are like doing all this math Oh, the money per hour fine. Don't look at it as money per hour Fine. Don't look at it. Look at it as no voice actor in the world considers five sessions at four hours each to be full-time I Literally emailed three different voice actors on this all three of them said as much as we sometimes agree that there's underpain Five sessions isn't a year's worth of salary Who thinks that's a year's worth of salary like dude, I do that every week what If I can get a year's worth of salary for just five sessions, then I'm doing something wrong here and The only voice actors by the way, they would get that sort of money aren't actually voice actors They're normal actors that are popular in other mediums other forms of acting and yes They're being paid because their name being attached to the project helps sell Chris Pratt as an example Probably got at least a mill for the job on Mario, maybe more because his name being attached I think we'll get more people to show up at the movie theater. That's an advertising thing not necessarily because they think it'd be the best voice They could use actual voice actors that do it for a living and some voice actors get mad that they don't but they also Understand it's a numbers game. You're investing all this money into making a movie into the animation You're gonna want it to do certain numbers at the theater getting big name people that people know is gonna gonna help drive that but This all culminated basically into her outing herself is lying on multiple occasions Her calling platinum games and that article a lie Well, everything that you said just confirmed check check check the entire article So the article didn't lie and platinum games didn't lie and you just confirmed it and yet you're still saying they're a liar and You need to defend your honor and defend your reputation and You really just put your entire reputation up and smoke Double time and nobody saw this coming Nobody thought she would give the sort of details That would just admit it like she's so I don't want to call her delusional because I don't know her but Something isn't logically lining up in the way. She's explaining things and I've said it this whole time. I think it all comes from emotions And her overvaluing what voice acting work on a failed franchise because that's what this is Actually is worth and now thanks to this whole controversy She's driven more attention to this game than ever and Bayonetta 3 is flying off shells It's sold out at a bunch of retailers right now before it's even come out a lot of retailers Don't even have physical copies to even pre-order anymore. They are sold out This is this is doing bigger numbers right now in pre-orders. I think than any prior Bayonetta and that's insane You used to be able to Anytime you want go get the special edition pre-ordered anywhere. They weren't even selling out of the special edition. It's been sold out for over a week This is insane Mike what are you thought because like this I this is not where I thought this story would hopefully this is the end Like I didn't think it would why I kind of don't want it to be the end Bayonetta Let's go like thank you, Helena Taylor because of you I'm now buying five copies of the game when I was only contemplating one Now we're gonna We're gonna have a pile of them here, and I might have to hand out a few to you some of you guys have a hard time getting it Bayonetta party. I want to see a movie. I want to see a movie because I didn't know much about the Bayonetta character And then when I found out the actual storyline because of this situation of Bayonetta 3. I'm like Wait, I mean I'm actually into this. I'm actually into this, you know But about the whole the whole Helena Helena I can't have a heart. I've been pronouncing it wrong for a week. So that's whatever Taylor is a Tyler by the way, I mean no insult to you Helena Taylor I hope that the rest of your life goes well And I'm sure you're a really nice lady in person and a good friend and mother and whatever else you have going on I don't want you guys to really attacking her. She's obviously already gotten tons of internet Hey, because that's what's gonna happen when you lie to the internet and you ask the internet to boycott something that doesn't deserve to be boycotted Yeah, you're not really doing much much about that anymore. Yeah Don't add to that like kind of leave her alone. Let's live in our own bubble. Talk about it. Let's not go to her. I mean what I'm Yeah, I just I'm just happy about The game getting so much promotion, you know, basically I'm like, okay. I'm just already over the The entire thing she came back on Monday and said this to that but I was just What you're already gone and what you already made peace with whatever But I think is that she found out that after that the game was doing so well It made her even more upset and and and and the fact that people were Even even opening their eyes and their hearts more to the game and to the actual actor Jen Jen Jennifer Hill. Yeah, right so it just Got to her because I may be in her head. She was thinking. Okay, my Bayonetta's are gonna stick up for me This game is not gonna do well and then they're gonna want me back So that the game was gonna do well, but then then she saw that nope That's not reality. The reality is that what you did backfired the game is doing better than ever Jen Hale is getting praised for her for performance and big Annetta the storyline and how how The developers or the story writers came up with a way to explain the change of voice and and the story itself is is is really really good We're gonna stay away from spoilers guys, but yes, the voice changes explained in the game, which is it's brilliant If you read the reviews Do some of the reviews go over it and have explained like the story can be a mess sometimes Bayonetta's story can always be a bit of a mess, but how they handle the voice change Was just it was like a master class And that's basically what what is driving me to play it. I don't know I'm not gonna give you guys any spoilers, but The way they handle the game is actually trending Heavily we are a month amongst it when it comes to the entertainment world And if you play this game, you're gonna find out what it is So Yeah, I mean, I'm just happy for the game. I'm happy for the game. I'm ready to move on from this this voice actress in particular or Or situation actors or whatever, you know I'm ready to give praise that's a dentale for her performance and to continue praising other voice actors for their amazing work I Don't think she's a voice act the Helena is an actual voice actress because if not she would have had jobs with me Yeah, she had a couple roles before Bayonetta. She's been doing some sort of acting work since like 2003 Yeah, but they're always really that they were so she's done some other acting and voice acting roles before Bayonetta But they were very sparse very few in between and then after Bayonetta never did anything Clearly wasn't trending towards success in that in that field Anyways, yeah, but it's but it's you know, it's Jen Hale's time It's Bayonetta's time. It is Bayonetta's time because if the first game in the second game they do as well this one Great. The reviews are really good The story is really good. I think this is the beginning for Bayonetta and I think I met a critic guys Yeah, yeah, and I think I think the from now from now on this is gonna be big Bayonetta is gonna have a good good future And I feel I feel some things coming out of this as well. So I'm excited for the franchise I'm excited for the franchise. I'm excited for everybody who's playing it and Yeah, I really want to see Bayonetta. I want to see Bayonetta the movie with this Whatever they're doing in this third third installment of the game because it'll be super awesome. It'll be awesome Yeah, I like sci-fi guys if you if you want to know something about me I love sci-fi anything that's that that's futuristic anything. That's that's takes you out of reality What we're living in, you know put you in a different world whatever alternate Well, whatever, I'm not gonna say much cuz I might might might give it up, but um I love sci-fi. I really do love sci-fi. So Yeah, so as I said at the end of this topic On behalf of all Bayonetta fans on behalf of platinum games and Nintendo on behalf of Myself as a youtuber who I'm not gonna lie. I made a little a little bit of coin off of this Thank you Helena Taylor Thank you.

So when trick-or-treaters show up at your house I like that Already they got this giant light up nativity set they put outside and I'm like guys. It's Halloween Yeah, are the nativity set getting eaten by zombies or something. I'm kind of kind of confused I might be a little sacrilege. We might want to wait a little bit Before you put that up, but hey, you know what you guys do whatever you want to do Everyone does things differently. But yeah, I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday of the year So I wasn't gonna go a podcast without dressing up even if it's a couple days late I really don't care man.

We got the lights dude, but I don't get my pumpkin spice anymore It goes away like my favorite my favorite shake is pumpkin spice It vanishes like after Halloween like culvers does this amazing pumpkin shake with their custard and it goes away after Halloween and I'm like Excuse me. We still have another pumpkin pie event coming up in Thanksgiving. Why are you getting rid of it after Halloween? Yeah, I don't like that. I don't want to take the gear of the pumpkin so fast You gotta move into some gingerbread or something eventually, but it ain't Christmas yet Yeah Listen to Christmas songs. I'm like I'm whistling. I'm whistling literally Christmas tunes like daily. No, not me. I'm so I'm so this is I wake up to Halloween alarms, man It's 630. Oh, I mean Yuli's like Baby, don't you know what holidays coming up? You know how it is going to here's the problem. I don't want to get out of bed when I hear it. I want to dance in bed That's a good movie see what's really cool about that movie is it's a Christmas and Halloween movie It's both a copy. You're gonna get copyright and then they're gonna they're gonna tell you that you receiving and Scamful, I was wondering how you're gonna slip that in so be careful be careful. No, don't be don't be singing Thought for showing anything that you're not supposed to because they're gonna call you a scammer They want to they're gonna hunt you down. They're gonna hunt you down. Do you want you on Halloween? You want to Halloween try to try to try to Well, you were targeted by somebody called obviously for those who he's representing the stream He did you did have some copyrighted content in the stream I'm not gonna go too much into that but it's arguable that it should have been struck But it should not have been struck for what it was struck for and when they they manually reviewed it and It was copyright. It was copyright. I agree. I mean, but it is just a copyright notice You shouldn't like like a song when they when they put a song. I know Was it there visually it's completely different because it's a copyrighted TV show you can't you can't like I Accidentally had house one time pop on my screen because I was watching it and I accidentally hit play as what the heck And I hit a button and it showed on screen. I got a strike for that. That was one of my strength like they're very Shows auto audio and visual you aren't yeah, it's but that's why I was like, yeah, okay, fine I get the strike. I don't get that reason And it was never reported by the way, you probably would have never got the strike Let's bring let's bring this up in the next podcast because I have a lot to say about this because And we'll have another youtuber on to that can maybe talk about it as well I feel like like like if mr. Beese would have done that He would not he would have gotten away with it. And if you would have gotten that that warning Phone call. Can you get rid of this in my channel? Mr. Beese doesn't live I'm sorry that did I say mr. Beese? Hopefully I don't get I don't get copyrighted, but I do I know that's a I mean Mike I could argue that mr. Beese would have never even done a stream like that because his team would have shut I'm down for the idea they would have told them What I'm saying is that a bigger channel? Wouldn't do a channel One more to them would have gotten more leeway and that's how that has to change That has changed. Can you name a bigger channel that watched a copyright TV show and got leeway? I'm gonna I'm gonna be the one I'm gonna be the man for change the man of change because I know a lot of big YouTube Channels and they know not to do that. They have a whole team of people that'll be like nope Yeah, I I accepted that was my mistake of sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know you told me you told me behind the scenes Oh, yeah, I probably should but yeah still I think they took it too far. They took it too far by the way guys You can go catch my completely questionable legality entire Zelda cartoon series uploaded by Zelda Informer over on dailymotion.com. It's still up. It's been up for almost 20 years Go enjoy. I provided it free to the internet. I mean Some other guy named Nathaniel Rumpel Jans provided it free to the internet But what what I'm so waiting for a for a take-down notice in the mail I don't even have my login for that account anymore, but it's still up every time I want to watch the Zelda cartoon I just go watch it off my own dailymotion channel Can we can we do it on on this? Oh, um Can we do it on discord is that we're trying to say? I don't I don't want people to hear me say look this guy is saying it on the other channel Let's go. Let's go get him here. We'll strike on his channel So, yeah, I literally I'm the source of many many many people seeing that cartoon for free online By the way daily motions all full of copyrighted stuff. I don't know how they haven't been shut down There's so much you can get entire movies on there. It's bad I literally don't know how they survived, but maybe there is probably because they're located in China or something So it's just hard for them to get shut down All right. Well, that's gonna do it Let me do a small plug Friday. There's a big giant special announcement on the channel on on on two days On on Odyssey news Friday. We have a big huge giant special announcement You don't want to miss it. It's it's a it's a big one for the channel. It's it's it's really a Do you tease what the announcement's about just now? It's gonna change the history of the channel and it's gonna change the direction of the channel in a massive way It's not going to it's not going to affect what's currently being done and the topics that are currently being Given but it's gonna change the direction of the channel in a massive way In a good way. No, Mike is not pregnant. How? You know, no Mike so so It's gonna it's gonna change the direction of the channel in a massive way without affecting how it's currently doing. I wish you luck with that, sir and True and including I can say this a brand new show Don't overextend yourself now No, I mean, I mean, I'm not really extending myself. I'm just replacing Something or more like, you know, I'll talk about more Friday. I'm gonna say because you just said nothing's being replaced And now you said you're replacing No, that's I'm saying it's not it's not like for example Don't don't Helena Taylor me Mike It's not going to affect what I'm doing now because I'm gonna continue doing what I'm doing now I'm gonna I'm not I'm on the Nintendo first channel.

No, no, I don't even know what that is Dude, it's where people go to find pictures of feet Pizza pictures of feet. Why would I put my my horrible feet on? You're the sexiest man in Florida that includes the head to toe. Is that real? Do not show Mike do not go to only please tell me you know what only fans actually is right I don't know. Okay. Do not go to only fans. Do not go to only fans Mike I'm not gonna go there. I've seen it on the channel Someone who won't even swear super religious. Do not go to only You have an only fans. I'm like, what does that mean? Is that got like a ship account or like a I've had I've had people on my podcast from only fans Yes, I have in the past is that they do other things besides only fans, but I mean It's a thing they do to make money. So just leave just leave it Don't don't go to only fans Anyways, who afraid that's a place. It's a place where people pay money to see things That's all that's not good. That's all right. That's all I know. That's all I need to know. Yeah. Yeah It doesn't have to be bad. It's just so much that it usually is By the way, I have no problem people can do whatever they want with their bodies. I really don't care. It's their choice Okay, so don't don't forget to catch nature only fans this weekend I mean, I did think about opening up an only fans to show off my potato chip collection Exclusively and only fans it's gonna be 29 99 per post the Ritos. You got Cheetos. You got Pringles we got funyons Oh See, you know now see see my chips are shaped like states I'm trying.

It's listen listen Other than then then the changes that are coming on Friday. I am Or active. Well, you know how I haven't been live streaming. I don't live stream that much But it's because I've been trying to upgrade my system, you know, it's hard to live stream on on Mac Yes, it's been really So I've been upgrading my sister. I mean, if you get rid of your Mac, I'll take it. I'm taking donations But I at least bought a better better I told you about the Yeah, yeah, the capture is a card. Yeah. Yeah, so that one works perfectly with with Mac OS so I can actually live stream and I will be last streaming on Twitch Not YouTube. I'm now terrified of YouTube Because if I live if you get dinged on Twitch, it doesn't affect my face live. They want to strike it I'm like, hi strike. You're not supposed to say that plus if you get dinged on twitch It doesn't affect your YouTube, which is always nice Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean So I'm still trying to get my first 50 I'm trying to get my first 50 likes or followers on on Twitch So if you guys have a twitch account and you want to go over there, just Hit follow, you know, let's get let's get them up to let's get them up to the ability for us to give him our free Amazon Prime subs Really? What's that? What's that? Yeah, so you need to become an affiliate first. You're not gonna probably be big enough yet. What's to be going to feel yet? That's when you can make money quote-unquote make money Subs which is like YouTube members and anyone who's an Amazon Prime member has a free twitch sub included with their Amazon Prime membership And what is that? What is that? They go and they hit sub. It's like it's like hitting joints You know your Nintendo power-up members. It's like that, but on Twitch Except if you already have Amazon Prime a lot of people don't realize they have it It's free use it at any time by the way can't use it on Mike's channel right now So you might as well head over to Nintendo Prime TV on Twitch and use it there. I will appreciate it And you'll get $2.50 from every person The streamer gets to the sense if they use it was on Prime's it's free for them if they have Amazon Prime Yes, and what is it's like a month monthly thing like Manually do it every month if they want it because the Amazon Prime one does an automatic renew now They can become members that they can they can hit sub outside of that and put a card on it and have it renewed as well And you can do different levels like you can on YouTube But the default level is $5, but you don't really give five because twitch is 50 50 So they take 50% of it But yeah, I mean that's All the money I've ever made on twitch has been from people using Amazon Prime subs So So I need to get my first 50 Twitchers or I'm so fine trying to find a name there you go Cory Boehm dropping the link to my link to my twitch channel if you guys want to go drop your free twitch So by the way, you might see me randomly playing Madding games on that twitch channel because one of the leagues I'm in requires the away team to stream Every single game.
