 So we're going to talk about a story right now That just kind of broke late tonight and is very touching it deals with the Nintendo switch and Satura Iwata You guys have already seen the title of this Essentially it appears that Nintendo intentionally has What appears to be a piece of Satura Iwata embedded on every single Nintendo switch In order to watch over the switch Kind of showing the importance. Mr. Iwata had at Nintendo and to the people who were working on switch at the time But let's let's get into the specifics. So We haven't talked about it on this channel, but hackers have gotten into the Nintendo switch for a while and There was a modern named switchbrew who discovered that the game gulf was in In is on every single switch unit They did a dump of title names from the file system back in July and that's where golf was discovered and Obviously, we also know that the NES emulator flog is on there, you know, ironically or not golf backwards and Not a whole lot was known, you know, if it was playable or not since then we've learned it is playable It's played with joy cons. It seems to have joy cons specific controls. We have an image of it here, but What's interesting here is What the why this is on the system, right? Some people thought maybe it's just a test game They're working on it or to get it ready for potential virtual console in the future or maybe as One of their first games that they'll give away with their online system and in this again A lot of it just felt like it was just a test, right? Every switch unit has it, but it was just a test that it was leftover code and it just stayed in the OS Well, it apparently might not have been just this leftover code that stayed in the OS it appears that golf and the emulator running it flog was Intentionally put on every single switch unit. So here's here's the deal We know that the game itself can be ran on switch and until tonight. We didn't know how so In order to run golf on your switch you have to be using switch version 1.0.0 and You can't have ever connected your switch online. So basically you need a launch unit It's never been connected online and I say that because you need to set your calendar to July 11th Okay, the reason that July 11th is such a specific date is that is the day that Satoru Iwata passed away And once you are have your clock and your date set to July 11th You take off each of the joy cons you hold them up and you guys remember that direct to you motion That Satoru Iwata did in every single Nintendo Direct Hello, this is Satoru Iwata from Nintendo It looks like I'll be delivering the first Nintendo Direct of 2014 Directly to you correct well with each joy con in each one of your hands You do that direct to you motion and it will launch the game And there's video evidence of it if I can if I can find a very good video showing this off I will throw it up in here and give full credits on in the description and all of this information I got from spawnwave who did a video on this? I'll have a link to his video down in the description as well so You have to do a direct, you know Iwata is direct to you motion from the Nintendo Directs It can only be launched in July 11th and it can only be done on systems that have not connected the internet Because once you connect the internet, you can't really mess with the calendar that much So you'll have to wait until next year on July 11th to try this for yourself If you've connected your switch to the internet and if you've updated it Etc. Or if you bought in a new switch unit and it doesn't happen to have have the version 1.0 0.0 Now it's still the game is still there that it's still there on newer versions It has not been patched out of the OS You just can't do anything until July 11th now that that's like a huge nod to Iwata as it is but Game explain found out some additional information So Justin Esperin and I'll have a link down to game explains video as well that goes over this In almost the same deal I'm gonna give to you now But Justin Justin Esperin is a senior associate producer at 8.4 Which is a translation studio that worked on fire emblem echoes and he tweeted out that people in Japan are Calling the golf embedded on switch oma mori and then oma mori is a charm so The idea here is that it's a charm from Satura Iwata who coded the game himself So Satura Iwata coded golf and back in the early days in Nintendo Satura Iwata coded a lot of the early NES games And golf was one of those games that he was the person who did all the code work on it In Japanese culture and oma mori are bodied shrines that for various reasons that if you keep them close to you Are supposed to protect you or give you luck. So the idea here is that this game is This this game that Iwata created that Iwata coded Iwata coded golf is an oma mori And as such was embedded in every single switch unit to watch over them Think about that So you can only launch the game on July 11th the day of his death or the anniversary of his death right now you can only launch it doing the exact motions he is known for in Nintendo Directs and In Japan it's being considered The inference here is that Justin Esperant heard this from people at Nintendo in Japan That this game is only even on the system to have a piece of Iwata watching over it that is think about that a Lot of you guys weren't at this channel back when Satura Iwata passed away. I did a a video on the Importance of Iwata to my life And a little remembrance of him and I'll put a clip of it up in here if I can dig that up, but He was a huge part of my childhood From balloon trip I Played lots of balloon trip. I always fight for those high scores Just the Super Smash Bros. Series the first one in melee. He was a programmer on those games to Kirby and all my wonderful members of games like Kirby's dreamland it's Man, I mean even just now talking about this. I'm tearing up a little bit that This just goes to show you how important Satura Iwata was to the people at Nintendo as important as he was to me and as important as he was to gamers across the world and developers across the world this is Man, I think at times we forget that Nintendo switch was Satura Iwata's baby This was his idea. It was his brainchild. He never got to see it come to fruition and come out but this was in development as something he was pursuing and You know for all of the flak that Iwata has deserved over his run as CEO He didn't always make the best business decisions. There were game droughts. He wasn't perfect He saw Nintendo through the height of success that it's never seen before in the Wii and DS and also saw it through basically blowing that success and tanking the company during the Wii U era but There can be no doubt about Satura Iwata the human being and his impact and the way he Affected people at Nintendo that they would even want to put this game on the system as a little piece of him a small Piece of Satura Iwata for every switch owner to watch over their switches to take care of them to take you may Maybe it even has a deeper meaning to help take care of the people that own it because we know that Nintendo Has done things at least back during the Wii era where they were trying to help with people's health And think about you know even now There's games you buy a Nintendo will hey, maybe you should put this game down you've been playing for a while Nintendo worrying about your well-being and Having Iwata kind of watch over the switch and watch over all of us. It's a very It it hits me right in the heart like it's tugging on my my heart strings right now to think that Nintendo thought so much of him that they did this with every single switch unit regardless of your OS update And it's potential that in the future they they might even advertise Next year on July 11th That you can do this only on that day everyone can play it Maybe we'll have the bugs worked out because it's a little buggy from the people who have been able to play it, but it's man Nintendo Why are you gonna make me what we're gonna make me feel? Sadness and happiness at the same time because as sad as it is this is what has gone now I know every time I turn on my switch I'm gonna be reminded that there's a piece of him in there a piece of his hard work and dedication to the company that Really made my childhood and made most of my adult life Man kudos to you Nintendo and I know it's been a couple years, but again, I'm sorry for your loss in Nintendo But I'm glad that he's still inspiring you guys to this day Anyways folks, I'm Nathaniel awful Jants from Nintendo Prime if you like this video You know what to do and if you dislike the video hit that dislike button If you haven't subscribed already subscribe so you don't miss any of our videos and heck when you do There's a little bell icon you can hit and make sure you see all our videos Because I know some of our subscribers don't get to see every video we make Yeah, I Man I'll just cut you guys in the next one
