 Hey everyone, I am Nathaniel Rumpful-Jantz from Nintendo Prime and I want to tell you about a big event we have coming up from June 9th through June 14th. It's called Prime Gaming Fest and My Lord is one of the most crazy events we've ever had. We did a show like this last year in 2021. The idea of the show back then, tentatively called back then E3 extravaganza, was to use all of the connections I have gained over the years as a YouTuber, as well as some of the revenue that we gained on YouTube as well and invest it back into our viewers. And we did that by giving away thousands of dollars and hundreds of items of giveaways during a four-day E3 event last year. Now, when doing a giveaway type event, I didn't want to just be, hey we're just doing giveaways because of the pandemic and trying to give back to people. We also wanted to make sure that we really themed the show around video games and gaming. So last year, if you couldn't tell by the branding E3 extravaganza, we based it around E3 itself and reacting to all of the gaming news live. We had 12 plus hour live streams four days straight. The final day was 17 hours. And we just did a lot of really crazy stuff. We had a lot of gaming competitions between us and the community. We had competitions between me and my co-host because my show is co-hosted by Eric Moore from the Nintendo Prime Podcast. We had a couple special guests not a ton. I think there was two special guests total. And we just ended up having a grand old time. And we ended up in at least the words of our own viewers putting on a better show than E3 itself did. Really, really hard to believe. But then again, our main competition was Verizon 5G. Some really big standards to hold ourselves to, right? This year though, we've obviously rebranded to Prime Gaming Fest. And I think we're going to keep this brandy moving forward. You know, yeah, it does kind of tie into Summer Game Fest and obviously the Prime part of Nintendo Prime. But this year, we are actually making the show bigger and better than it's ever been. We have a special guest coming on every single day. Some days, maybe more than one. Prime Gaming Fest is also now going from four days to six days, June 19th to June 14th. We have a whole bunch of stuff to react to. We have even more giveaways this year than last year, more winners this year than last year as well. A lot of companies, you know, ended up responding quite well to what we did last year and wanted to come back and re-support this year. Some new companies came into the fray. Our own money came into the fray. And obviously, we did a lot of stuff between last year's show and this year. And you haven't even seen the final form of this show yet. We actually spent a lot of time over the last four months rebuilding our entire studio based around doing this show. Now, yes, our studio can do a lot of other stuff, our daily videos and live streams and everything. We are a Nintendo channel, but we actually were able to build quite an amazing experience for our users for this upcoming show. And it's not even done yet. We have more being done. There's literally stuff right behind the camera that's part of the set that isn't even installed yet. So that's how crazy things are getting right now. But today, I wanted to not just talk about what Prime Gaming Fest is, a giveaway event, a community event. We even have a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament. I wanted to actually also go over the schedule because this is going to be rather in depth. We're going to actually separate the schedules with timestamps down below per day. So let's just get into our schedule for June 9th, June 9th for Prime Gaming Fest. So all day long, Eric and I will be doing what's called the White Polo Challenge. So during the Eric vs Nate challenges this year, if we lose one of those challenges, the loser will need to spend what we are calling the Wheel of Death. The Wheel of Death is actually a callback to F-Zero back on the GameCube. If you guys remember that particular F-Zero game, there was ability in that game called the Wheel of Death. We're not going to go into all the details here. I want that implied. We're obviously not dying, you know, going to end up killing each other here. But we are going to have a number of punishments on this wheel. So when the loser loses, as an example, maybe they have to do a shot at Tequila. Well, my kryptonites. Maybe they have to end up doing a shot of one of the hottest hot sauces in the world. And stuff of that nature. We have other ridiculous costume things. We have pies and faces and eggs being smacked on heads and a whole bunch of crazy punishments that are part of this wheel. And some of the punishments will be repeatable and never leave. Other ones will obviously only be a one-time ordeal. So what's interesting, obviously, about this is when we're starting with the white polo challenge, this runs all day as a challenge because we'll be wearing white Prime Gaming Fest polos. And the first one of us to get that polo dirty where we can't just like wipe it off. Like if it's a crumb and we go like this and it wipes off, that doesn't count. It's got to be something that's like embedded into the shirt. They lose and have to spin the wheel. That's just a challenge we have going on all day for 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. But let's get into the brux of the actual show right now. That's obviously an all-day challenge. We will probably bring it up briefly at the beginning. We're actually going to kick off the show with our Welcome to Prime Gaming Fest event from 9 to 9. 30. This event is going to include a kick off giveaway, as well as an LTE winners to a current giveaway we have going on right now for two copies of, well, what was that again? All right. There's a game coming out next week. I don't know if you guys heard about it, Mario Shaker's Battle League. We're giving away two copies of it right now. We'll announce the winners to that, as well as actually getting to the brux of a brand new giveaway to kick off the day. We're going to follow that up again with another giveaway at 9. 30 while also talking about the Super Smash Bros. tournament. We are actually going to have a Super Smash Bros. tournament happening on this day, and this is going to be kind of explaining how that tournament works, what the rules are, what we are doing as commentators, and all of that. Throughout the Super Smash Bros. tournament, there will be another giveaway that you'll be able to enter. This one will be through a pinned comment in the chat, in the live chat, and yeah, you click on that pinned comment to enter. By the way, to actually win any of these giveaways, you need to be subscribed to our channel and be there live. If you are not live, when we draw your name, we will draw a new name. All right, now from 10 a.m. to noon, which I said we'll have that giveaway pinned in the comment section throughout the entire Smash Bros. tournament, that two-hour period. We have our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament. All the contestants have already been pre-selected. There was a sign-up period for a couple weeks last month. So yeah, we got 32 contestants by the time we actually get to this one. There'll only be 16 because round one's happening on a different day. So you're going to see the top 16 rest of the bracket live commentary and a lot of fun. And yes, the winner of the tournament will be receiving a prize. All right, next up after that from 12 p.m. to 12.30. By the way, all these times are central standard time. We will be actually doing a tournament reaction. We'll talk about our favorite moments of the tournament, congratulate the winner. And yes, end with a little bit of another giveaway for the chat. We're going to follow that right up at 12.30 to 1 p.m. central time with our Summer Game Fest pre-show. This is where we'll be talking about our expectations for Summer Game Fest itself and any other things that might have come out throughout the day, leaks, rumors on all of that jazz. Next up, we have the Summer Game Fest event. So Summer Game Fest is kind of a two-part event. There is the actual Summer Game Fest event where Jeff Keely will be unveiling things for a couple hours. And they're going to follow that right up with the Day of Devs, which also will unveil some indie stuff as well as developer interviews. We will have, what's to say, six random giveaways going on during this time slot because Summer Game Fest and Day of Dem rubs for about four hours from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. central. And then that's immediately followed up by maybe our favorite part of the day, and that is the Devolver Digital event. Devolver Digital is back. They put on one of the best shows every E3, every summer, and they're back again doing an event from about 5 to 6 p.m. Central time. We will also have another giveaway pinned in the comments for that event as well while we are live reacting to it. After that, we have our post-show reaction from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., where we're finally just kind of summarizing our entire feelings of the Devolver Digital event, the Summer Game Fest event, and the Day of Devs. And we will also have a giveaway happening at some point during that hour as well. This giveaway will just be live through the chat. It won't be through a link. Next up, we have a tippy cup race. We will explain the rules of this race at the time. This is a competition between Eric and I. Obviously, the loser has to spin the Wheel of Death. After that, we have special guest, Super Metal Day 64, coming on at 8 p.m. He's our first special guest of Prime Gaming Fest. He has that special honor. He's coming out for about a 45-minute segment to talk about everything that happened that day and give us his thoughts. And then we're going to end the day with the Prime Gaming Fest Day 1 sign-off. And that also includes an end-of-day giveaway. So yeah, that's about everything for June 9th. All right, let's get right into June 10th. We'll be starting off at 9 a.m. Central Time again to 9.30 a.m. Recapping Day 1 of Prime Gaming Fest. Then we'll follow that up at 9.30 with a new giveaway as well as Nintendo Drink Pong. This is the competition between Eric and I. Again, we will explain the rules obviously at the time that we do that competition. Loser will be spinning the Wheel. We're actually following that right up with Mario Stryker's match with Eric versus Nate. Again, the loser of that will have to actually spin the Wheel of Death again. That's from 10 a.m. to 10.30. That's going to be really fun. I can't wait to do that. Obviously, this is the launch day for Mario Stryker's. We actually have a Mario Stryker special at the end of this day. Next up, we're going to have a little pre-show for Geek Week IGN Expo and the Tribeca pre-show because there's a whole bunch of stuff happening later on on Friday. So we've got about a half hour pre-show there from about 10.30 to 11 a.m. There'll be a giveaway happening at that time as well. Next up, we have the IGN Expo from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Central time that we will be live reacting to that as well followed up by the Netflix Geek Week game showcase, the Cuphead Show table read at one o'clock and the Resident Evil Star live event happening at 1.30 p.m. to 2 p.m. as well. We'll have a giveaway or two happening throughout all that event as well. Another giveaway is going to start all over again with the Tribeca game spotlight as well because we're really excited about that and I believe the Tribeca one is where we're going to actually see the Cuphead DLC. So that's a really exciting thing. We have a post-show reaction to all of those bat the bat the back shows from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Central time followed up by a special not Nate vs. Eric. It's actually Nate and Eric versus the chat in a game of Nintendo Hangman. Again, we'll explain the rules on that when we get closer to that date. Next up over that we're actually going to have a members only giveaway at 4.30 p.m. This is where we locked down the chat. It's just actually I don't even know if we're going to lock down the chat but either way it's going to end up being just only our members of the board our paid members are going to get an exclusive giveaway that day. You can you know join right then if you want to get in on it or you cannot it doesn't matter we have a number of other member giveaways as well but that's the only one for that day. We followed it up at 5 p.m. with special guest HMK that's right the hype man himself is coming in he'll probably want to talk about a lot of things that happened the day before and you know so much more we'll have to wait and see I honestly I don't even know where that conversation is going to take us I just know it's going to be a lot of fun. After that we have a Nate vs. Eric event at 6 p.m. Central time this is going to be Nintendo switch sports one-on-one I'm not announcing which sport it is yet after that is where we get into a lot of fun on day two because we get to a Mario Stryker's club ranked matches so Mario Stryker's has a club we're going to have the Nintendo Prime club rocking we're going to get some members in on that and

have five random giveaways happening throughout that and that's taking place from 6 30 to 9 p.m. so that's kind of how we're ending day two is playing a ton of Mario Stryker's Battle League and
