 I am so sick of weak gamers. The phrase it's just a game is such a weak mindset. But you know what's not weak? GAMING NEWS! I freaking love gaming news. It's been a long time. I haven't made one of these all year. So there is a lot of stuff I want to talk about today. Like we got the Animal Crossing Direct which I live streamed and if you watched it you already know how I feel about it but I figured hey I would tell you in a video. Did you know I found out today that Nintendo pulled down that original stream that original Animal Crossing Direct changed something and re-uploaded it. Just hoping we wouldn't notice. As well as that we have two new versions of the Switch launching. Pokemon Home is probably a thing. I still have Stadia collecting dust somewhere in this house. I couldn't find it. I never talked about the Byleth in Smash controversy. Oh another Fire Emblem character. And then finally there hasn't been a Nintendo Direct in like six months. Since September. And I'm not talking about a Luigi's Mansion Direct or an Animal Crossing. I'm talking about a legitimate Direct telling us what's happening with the Switch in 2020. Because we don't know. I with so much to talk about and my excitement levels through the freaking proof. I don't have a weak mindset Ninja. I am by the strongest mindset possible right now. So with that I'm just gonna start the video. Let's start with the Animal Crossing Direct. Again I wasn't gonna talk about it but there's been way too many people asking. Again I streamed the whole thing. I always streamed the Directs just to hit the bell and be notified. I almost fell asleep during it but that's not the Direct's fault inherently while it was a very relaxing and calming Direct that was putting me to sleep. I pulled an orniter to stay up and actually watch the thing because Nintendo keep doing their Directs at like 6am in the morning and who is awake at that time I'm sure not. To be fair though I did say in the Direct at the start of it I'm already sold on Animal Crossing. And I know what Animal Crossing was. So I didn't expect there to be any big announcements. Any surprises. Anything to wow the pants off me. But there was one thing that stood out to me in that Direct that did wake me up and shook me out of my coma. They announced that um it wasn't gonna use cloud saves. This Nintendo online service like what are we paying for again? Like a few any essences. Like well someone remind me why I'm paying this money. One of the key features was to have access to cloud saves so that if something happened to my switch or your switch our saves would be uploaded to the cloud. We could buy a new switch and download them and a game like Animal Crossing is the kind of game where you do not want to look like because it's almost I I would be done. See you later. And apparently Animal Crossing won't utilize this cloud save feature that we have that we pay for and there was no reason given. Rather Nintendo said during the Direct you get one. You get one time if you lose your save because your switch is stolen or damaged or whatever you can contact us and we'll get you your save back one time. That's so weird. I don't know what the reason is but Nintendo apparently also don't know what the reason is or how they're gonna rectify this because when they pulled down the Direct they re-uploaded it and that part was gone. Just it just said more information on this is coming. I don't know if that's because they don't know what's going on or because there was such a backlash about it but it seems kind of disingenuous to just pull it down and re-upload it and say well actually we don't more information to come. We never said that's really weird. Personally I have never been in the situation where I've needed a cloud save. I've never had anything break and I don't think my switch is on the way out anytime soon but it's nice to know that it's there and when it's a feature that we already pay for why isn't it there? At least tell us why. But the game is releasing very soon. It's within a month and I am excited and Kim is like 10 times more excited than me and let me know if you're excited below. The Pokemon home is a thing. All right next. Look I'll be honest. I don't care. I don't care about taking my Pokemon from one game and putting them in another game. That's just me. It's definitely a cool feature to have. You download it onto your Switch. You can take your Pokemon from Pokemon Go or let's go Pikachu and Eevee and you can put them in Sword and Shield for example and it is a really cool way of getting some of these Pokemon that went in Pokemon Sword and Shield into Pokemon Sword and Shield and I downloaded the app. I did check it out and they did give me a few free Pokemon. It was like it was just sat there in the box already and I put them into my Sword and Shield and there he was. Cool. The only thing I feel weird about is if you want access to a lot of the real good features you got to pay for them like a subscription thing. Okay. I know it's been a little bit. A lot of this news I'm really late to and I'm aware of that. When I make a gaming news gaming. Whatever. When I make one of these kinds of videos it's not because I want to make a really topical in your face video with breaking hard hitting news that you just hear it here first or don't hear it at all. I just like talking about the cool things that are happening. So I know I'm late to a lot of this. If you're here for breaking news you are on the wrong channel. I can recommend a couple. My friends RGT85 and Spawnwave do great work at staying topical. I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. But yes there is two new versions of the Switch. We have the Switch Lite getting a coral pink color and we have the Animal Crossing main bigger normal Switch which I assume is the revised edition but who really knows with Nintendo. Both of these I feel like a really good ideas. Oh the colors are fantastic. The design is really good. And then the coral pink one I think that's a really good idea. I mean I'm not. I don't want a gender stereotype at all. That's not my position. Obviously anyone can own a blue Switch Lite as they please. But I do think having this pink color is a really good idea. If I had a little girl I would love to buy her Animal Crossing and this pink coral drink. That's a really cute. It's just a really cute little combination of things to go together and I think it's a really good idea. Of course a boy could have a pink Switch Lite. Of course he could. Who cares. I'm probably gonna buy it and I'm a boy. Okay this next one I'm gonna need your help. At the same time I'm not happy about needing your help. I don't like this mentality but I guess I get it. I guess. Atlas has come out and said that the idea of Persona 5 on Switch isn't completely dead. If we all yell and scream and make a big fuss about it we get our knickers in a knot and we tweet at them with hashtag break free persona they might possibly consider putting it on Switch. Something about this doesn't sit right with me. I don't like that there has been so much outcry for Persona on Switch. It is a missed opportunity. I mean we have Joker in Smash. Like how much more of a clue do you need Atlas? And the reason why Atlas you're even telling us this that you're even saying oh wow it's because you know there's an outcry because you know people haven't shut up about it so you're saying well you know it could happen. No just make it happen. Clearly clearly you know that people want it otherwise you wouldn't be out here asking us to ask more about the thing we already said we want. So you're saying well just keep begging us and eventually you might you might get it. I mean who knows. But fine whatever you want to this is how bad I want Persona on Switch by the way. Fine I'm asking you guys my audience to join this monument this movement because I really want to play Persona on Switch and I know a lot of you probably do too and I'll tweet out I haven't done it yet but I'll tweet out with dumb hashtag and we'll try and get this thing to happen because clearly it's it could it could happen. Let's just make it happen I guess. Oh there's one more small thing I forgot guys I'm sorry. This is how late I am to talking about so many things. I'm gonna try and do more of these videos if you like them. I don't know if you like them. If only there was a way to tell me you like them. I never talked about Byleth being in Smash. I actually did make a whole little skit video which I was gonna just upload to my channel but it was only like a minute and a half long and I felt like that would be weird so I just put it on Twitter. It was essentially just a little sarcastic joke. It speaks for itself just go and watch it. But my actual feelings on Byleth being in Smash was cool. I mean I didn't really care. The thing that I thought was weird is that they saved it until last. People paid for this five set of characters in advance. A lot of people already are burnt out on Fire Emblem characters. You had a lot of really great cool unique characters in the first five. Maybe take one of those and put them at the end but it is what it is they put Byleth out last and again for me I actually liked it. I thought it was good idea thing. The only Fire Emblem we have on Switch is Fire Emblem 3 Houses. We have a billion Fire Emblem characters in Smash but none from the only Fire Emblem game that's on Switch. So I saw Byleth go into Smash as inevitable anyway and I was kind of excited for it because I really liked Fire Emblem 3 Houses. Not only that Fire Emblem 3 Houses is the best selling Fire Emblem game of all time and this is something that I feel like y'all forget. Even with Hero when he came to Smash y'all forget. We're not the only people in the world that love Smash believe it or not. USA, America, European countries, English speaking countries we all love Smash. I know that but Smash is also loved, adored and appreciated in Japan the country where the game friggin comes from and guess who loves Fire Emblem Japan. So getting characters like Hero and Byleth it's huge for Japan and other countries maybe not so much here maybe not huge exciting for some sure. Smash is universally loved. It's a game that no matter where you're from you can pick up and play. You don't need to speak a language to understand how to fight with Pikachu. It's a game that we can all come together on from all around the world and fight with our favorite Nintendo and Atlas and Square Enix characters now. So just remember when you don't get your favorite character someone else might. And it turns out Byleth is really fun to play with and has become my new main. I actually really like him. He's got so much variety his down be is epic anyway. That's my thoughts on Byleth and I know I'm again I could be wrong but it's just my opinion. Too many things. I tried to talk about too many things. Okay the Nintendo Direct situation. Here's the dealio guys and I talked about this like six months ago maybe something like that and and people oh people oh people oh people I said like after the last Direct I was like guys cool it was great it was fun it was fresh it was exciting but we know nothing about 2020 and we're gonna get to the point eventually when we still know nothing about 2020 and a lot of people use the argument or used Animal Crossing as but oh Animal Crossing okay I get it Animal Crossing cool fantastic I'm excited Kim's excited you're excited your mom's excited people are excited for Animal Crossing not everyone I mean I feel like Animal Crossing is pretty much got a decent split down the Nintendo audience where half of us adore it and love it the other half of us just don't care like I feel like there's not much of a middle ground here with Animal Crossing it's just one of those games where you either love it or you don't let's say you're in the other half where you don't care what do you have this year oh wait Xenoblade Chronicles the remaster which don't get me wrong I'm really excited for that I'm excited to finally have a great Xenoblade game on Switch but it is a remaster it's not like it's a brand new IP it's a game a lot of us have played before still that is cool we don't have a release date for that though we have the third Bravely game which again we don't know when that's coming and it's another JRPG style game and then we have No More Heroes 3 which we have no idea of a release date and I would I would guess like late in the year and again I would say that No More Heroes 3 is one of them you're split down the middle I love pseudo 51 games and I will play everything he makes ever but unless you've played the other two games or you just love pseudo 51 playing a third game in this installment a wacky game like this it might not be for everyone I would say that probably less people are excited for that than Animal Crossing but that's everything I think the big stuff that we actually know about from Nintendo I'm not talking Persona 5 Scramble a spin-off persona game from Atlas I'm not talking about whatever wacky game you can think about right now that you're excited for I'm just talking about things that Nintendo have said they are doing this year things that Nintendo is working on and I said like six months ago cool but once Animal Crossing launches what then and that's still where we are now and Animal Crossing is about to launch within the month I really hope Nintendo that we get a direct here in the next couple weeks because we haven't had one in so long you'd have to think it would be amazing it would be an awesome incredible direct field with information what's happening with Zelda what's happening with Metroid since you scrapped it what's happening with Bayonetta 3 which we haven't had any updates on since it got a release trailer like four years ago and on top of that what else are you working on because Bayonetta technically isn't Nintendo Metroid now isn't Nintendo they handed it off to high res studios no more heroes 3 isn't Nintendo Xenoblade is a remaster so that's not being done by Nintendo so right now all that I know Nintendo was working on is a new Zelda because Animal Crossing is done and that's it it's just a really weird situation to be in I feel when we know we're getting all these new generations of systems coming out and Nintendo has just been so quiet it can mean one of two things in my opinion one the the good option Nintendo has all this stuff they've kept quiet they're really good at keeping secrets and they're gonna come out with the direct pretty soon and just wow the pants off everyone and it's going to be the coolest craziest year or at least compete with the other years and it's going to give people a reason to actually buy a switch still or keep their switch going into the next generation or there's nothing right now is not the time to be quiet in my opinion but it's very quiet and I'm really excited for this year because there has to be big digs planned we should have known about them already but I'm willing to forgive that to be wowed in the best direct we've ever had but remember kids the phrase it's just a game is a weak mindset take every video game with the utmost seriousness which is why when I play Animal Crossing I'm going to be playing it super competitively and I'm going to visit every single island I can visit because every night I sleep is an island I miss visiting don't have a weak mindset when it comes to Animal Crossing all right whatever if you like these kind of videos remember to hit like if you want to watch more of whatever this channel has become then you're gonna have to have flip I'm exhausted because of all the gaming yeah whatever all right bye
