 And for this thing that show it's life there it is. All right Hey everyone, welcome to the prime cast. That's technically episode two Didn't have room to fit it in the title As I mute myself cuz I was hearing myself Yeah, we have a lot of stuff today first up I want to I think our our usual panel you guys recognize them probably from our prime cast from last week We have AJ from an addicts for over there And I you guys should know mr. 5j pretty well over there Yeah, I've been around a few times in this channel. Just just a few times No game over Jesse this week. Obviously we all know what his epic last week incident and then he never responded since I don't know if he's even alive at this point. We're recovering. I think probably probably and it's funny because just yesterday We were recording the internal prime podcast, I actually did that live because it turned out that Darren was drunk so He was being highly entertaining before we started the podcast then as soon as we went live. He's like He started just crashing just crashing and then he passed out at one point. It was gone I like I'm like, oh man So this is the first live podcast in the last three that doesn't have anyone drunk that I'm aware of Hey, you never know you never know. Yeah, you ever know. I mean by the end of the podcast You know, that's gonna happen. Hey those super chats could make you have a lot of shots between. No, I know I've got and the thing is I got the dangerous stuff tonight. I got gold sloggers. So that's For those who don't know any super chat or any donation during any live stream I do at night including this I will do Some alcohol, I won't say a full shot like if you do a dollar I'm not doing like gold sugar full shot for a buck, but I'll do a little bit of something a swing of a beer Maybe I wish But whatever I'll figure it out. I'll make it work. Let's get into The actual topics this week. This is a news podcast again Since the second episode just remind people the first 90 minutes is all about news and then we have a Q&A session If you super chat or donate you can ask your question at any time and we will get back to it During the Q&A session. Otherwise, I ask people to hold off your questions in the chat until closer to the 90-minute mark Which should be about 9 30 central. We have a lot of news to get through this week. I Mean I cut out a lot. I originally when I wrote down these topics earlier today I was up to like 20 plus and I'm like, this isn't gonna work No, so let's just cover the biggest stuff or the stuff I think is most relevant here And the I guess the biggest news this week Is that as of June 28th, we're gonna have a new president of Nintendo? Yeah, specifically Nintendo of Japan, but that is the person who runs the entire company So had sumi Kimishima is stepping down on June 28 and they are replacing him with shintaro for a kawa Pretty sure I butchered that you guys at this point my audience knows I suck with pronouncing So What are your guys's initial thoughts on this change? Because that's when we came a shima appears to be retiring He's 68 years old. He's gonna stay on as an in an advisory role. You know, that won't be permanent and then For a kawa. I think it's 46. So a little bit older than Iwata when he took over back in the day What are you guys thoughts on this? Well, I think if memory serves when can you see me started? I think they said they only planted him being present for a year But then they extended it another two years So they obviously were looking pretty hard for who should replace him and I think it's a really good sign That they keep hiring younger and younger folks Because we all want to see Nintendo, you know modernize more and more So the fact that they found another guy that's not 68 years old is a really great start Sure Something that I was apprehensive about when we found out about kimishima specifically Was that we went from a president That was so hands-on with the industry still played games were still involved To a a businessman, you know, like he was just a suit. So it was like that was kind of scary Turned out that we're well, but now we're going from a businessman to a gamer and a businessman So it's like I think that it's a it should be a good Uh, I don't know like in between point of where a wada was and where kimishima was Maybe it'll be better because he's younger than kimishima. He's serving under him and he's still getting like he's still getting advised by him and everything like that So who knows maybe he'll be the new best president Yeah, and uh, there were a bunch of other promotions that I think Are also going to be key in that he's surrounding himself now with Other folks that weren't previously quite as like vocal in nintendo like they did important things But now that they're also going to be closer to where he is He's gonna have a lot of great support and hopefully this means Again more more steps in the right direction switch has been great. So let's let's keep it moving I I think um We said that uh, what's his name the new guy? Furukawa, right? Yeah, he was hired as nat was telling me earlier um Basically right when the marketing started for nintendo switch as the head of marketing global marketing So he was obviously a huge deal in in marketing the switch and they did a great job Right those commercials were amazing was phenomenal like that that was like, um, I know emily rogers Uh, she talked a lot about how good like we's marketing was where it was It didn't start out as a thing of like here's the thing for kids, you know Because you don't have to market the kids in that way you market to us And then we tell kids this is cool and then they're like, oh, you think this is cool. It has to be cool You know and they Then go from there and that's where that's what switch did it was no like Uh, hey kids bring this to the playground or where it was like, hey look at these cool college kids at a rooftop party Right I'm sure you do here's a switch Exactly Yeah, um furukawa You know, I don't the the interesting thing is it is a promotion of a person that I don't think any of us really knew Who this person was no before their name was brought up. It was always kind of someone behind the scenes Um, so I'm sure some people want to know a little bit like here's here's all I could dig up on them for the most part Um, he's had relations with nintendo dating back to 1994 um Hold on did I close it? No, here we go. Uh, so yeah april 1994 is uh when he joined nintendo um From what I could dig up he was kind of sort of like an an accountant Um, didn't really have the title of accountant, but it appeared that he worked in the finance side of things So we I don't know what else he would call that. Um So maybe he didn't actually do any actual accounting, but he worked there kind of um, and a lot of that was in germany Um, so he spent about a decade or so in germany working for nintendo Uh, he does speak fluent english Uh, that's at least something they're they're advertising that he speaks fluent english I've never heard him speak english yet So let's see if it I haven't heard him speak at all. Have you heard him speak? Uh, not publicly yet. He he did make one comment at the investors meeting, but there's no video of that So yeah, yeah, this would be the first president that speaks fluent english Which is very notable. I think so, yeah Because originally it was all the yamauchi family, right? None of none of them. Yeah, I think he didn't speak english at all Yep, and a lot of us both broke in english. Yeah, and Uh kimishima even though he spent a long time here doesn't really speak english. Yeah, um, so They're advertising, you know nintendo studies speaks fluent english So we'll we'll have to wait and see I mean he might he might be at the in the e3 thing The the video presentation or something, you know Um, that that's at least the soonest I expect to maybe hear anything from him I might not be yet because technically he doesn't take over till june 28th So they might not be putting them out publicly too much because even even at the briefing that happened after the briefing Like where they they kind of have their their final statements. It was all kimishima talking So uh furukawa is probably not going to have much of a public presence until july um He uh, what the another interesting part is that this way the fact that he's been involved in a lot of financing stuff Um, since made 2012 he's been the outside director of the pokemon company He still does that job to this very day and obviously up until june 28th Um in july 2015 he became the general manager of corporate planning department. He still does that um And june 2016 he became the director managing executive officer Supervisor of corporate analysis and administration division That's a title all these titles he still has by the way like these aren't like he got promoted This is nope now. He's doing this and this and this Um, and then in september 2016 we kind of briefly mentioned he became in charge of global marketing Which again that's essentially switch. He was in charge of all switch marketing um From yeah from september on so that would have even before they unveiled the switch. So that's So if you love the switch marketing This guy is literally the one at the top making all of the final decisions on that um And if you know anything about even how marketing works in and uh, like the united states still has to be approved by japan So this is the guy that approves all of that um And then obviously in june 28th he becomes the representative director, which is a kind of their new name for ceo They kind of reshuffled their naming conventions And then I'm president of the company. So That's basically all I know about him besides the fact that Um, someone asked him about what is uh, what his favorite game is right now. He said golf story Most important thing most important that says the most about him. It says that uh, he uh, he's current. He's current Yeah, he has uh, he didn't cop out because he could have you could have been like, oh, it's odyssey Oh, it's curbie like that the like you would expect an internet executive. Oh, it's the most recent game. We released Yeah, it relates to the to the to the middleman If you'd have come out and said curbie all star allies, we didn't know when it was a corporate entity Oh, yeah corporate entities you I just want you know what what's going to give me the final stamp of like I know he's a good president if he's like, you know what we got we got to drop curbie star allies at $40 You know what don't forget that 30 I'm like, I'm sold best president of all time I mean, I thought as the united states president of the country, please I was waiting for the ultimate cop out worried what it just been like Yeah, my favorite games the game you guys can't even play yet. It's smash That had been rough my favorite game is pokemon for nintendo switch We were like wait wait are you saying something? No, no, no, no, this isn't a confirmation of anything there'll be so many youtube videos of like Pokemon for nintendo switch is a game worth being a favorite. It's like it's like Come on guys low hand the other thing I would say is hey nintendo's new president Apparently his favorite game is a game that no one else can play Um doesn't tell us anything about the game We don't because we don't know anything about his tasting games beyond the fact that he likes golf story Yeah, what if he was like, uh, this is this is a Detour but what if it was like bernie burns and he just straight up like confirms some crazy stuff Like my favorite part about the new pokemon game is the new battling system and you're like, oh I'm not supposed to say that What? Oh Yeah, my my favorite, uh My favorite game to play is the pokemon game for switch Dude that live action battle system is wait wait what? What did you just say? I love how we went mmo on the on the new game. Wait was what? Yeah, okay. I can't oh you're saying I can't talk about that New f zero. Okay. Okay Oh wait, I went to june 28th, then I can say whatever I want I'm in charge Really that really states in here. I don't answer to anyone at that point. Um So I one thing I do like about the hiring is they are going younger Um, obviously they said that they've been looking at younger talent hydrogen to hire younger bring in a fresh um fresh infusion of youth into the company And some of that it has already had positive results platoon two has been a direct result of that platoon, right? So yeah, they brought in someone who's younger relates more with the younger staff they bring in Um might even relate more with gamers because uh kimishima for those who don't know uh kimishima His whole life is a finance guy That's what he is I use a banker He's just done literally just financing and he's been very very good at it And I honestly I mean, what what do you guys think about like because because he's been he's been the person running the company versus the interim ceo, and then they took away that title and just kept him there until now um The thing is is I there's I've ran into a lot of nintendo fans that really just hate kimishima And I think they hate him on principle that he was a banker right More so than actually knowing him because I don't know anything He's done at nintendo that you can point to and be like so that was you Yeah, who did that if anything? Like his comment of like, I don't know about we you before we really know if he was a president stuff Like, you know what I'm sold on this dude. He's a finance guy and he's like that we you product. I bad financial decision um But the thing is is uh, I actually think personally that kimishima did a really good job He did Yeah, but I think it's it's it's weird like we don't know if Like we don't know how much of like a lot of people credit And I'm sure a lot of it is thanks to him but credit like switch is success to him But as far as I understand it a lot of switch was awada's vision. Yeah. Well, yeah The vision of the console was awada and you know people close to him and that that's completely true Like I might credit him for um The concept of switch and the hybrid stuff like that's all fine awada should have all that credit and awada kind of knew he was gonna die and he set up like a Kind of a roadmap for how he wanted this to be handled We don't know how closely they stuck to that roadmap because we're never Yeah, they're not gonna say that you know They're not gonna do that we feel that in the garbage but There are some things I feel like You know, like we don't know if the switch name was even decided yet at that point So there's you know, that's potentially kimi shima could have played a role in that and I think kimi shima's biggest role Um is one promoting this for a kawa guy to the head of marketing and two um I get this distinct feeling that if satura awada would have still been alive He would have made switch launch at the end of 2016 during the holidays Because he loves his holiday launches. I think if he did that switch would be a lot better off, honestly Well, um, maybe the the thing is is it what a start I mean it started off like gangbusters anyways, but it would have been even better But it also means bigger gaps between games Like what if we look at it if we look at it in the same way that we look at how it ended up happening Right, sure. It's like their their strategy is one major tent pole per month Say they stuck to that anyway And they still did breath of the wild But in november or whatever and then they did mario odyssey and no I mean if they if they released it In holiday, so they did breath of the wild at launch in november Then they did mario odyssey the month or mario cart mario cart in december and then in january They do don't know curbie or what like, you know, like they could still pace out their releases In the same way said because everyone would nintendo said at the time They didn't release it a holiday because the game lineup wasn't ready to hit like that yet. Oh, you mean, oh, yeah I'm I'm thinking completely different about that. I'm thinking holiday 2017. Oh 16 Yeah, I know we'd out until 2017. I think yeah better off because stop being fully prepared They wouldn't even woulda I don't I don't know what the scenario of it not being that if they didn't well because gotta remember nintendo discontinued we in 2016 So they would have just wasted I said hey because they want to announce switch In 2016 what happened because it's not coming out for a year. They wouldn't announce that at e3 or whatever But it still would have been like now Not only did you discontinue and no longer sell this the system and on top of that We already know about breath of the wild has been delayed to be on whatever the stable system is and then you're telling people Sorry, the system. It was originally coming on discontinued. We don't have a new system to tell you about And now you have to wait a year before we even have console How much would that actually affect the console because it's not like Delaying breath of the wild three times made breath of the wild any less special Like the fact that they're like breath of the wild 2014 up and there no no 2015 up. No I think it's all about mind share keeping nintendo in the minds of consumers Right, but I think that the announcement of switch regardless because of how big that was the fact that it Demanded mind share from red dev redemption two of all things. They couldn't switch at any time And it would have took all the mind share anyway I don't know because it would have made people mad in the lead up to switch But at the end of the day a switch is still a switch And we're we're better at the end of the day for it It turned out good, but I'm saying I think that if they were more prepared it could have turned out better Yeah, I don't know because they actually really benefit a lot from the the scarcity, you know of their systems There was so much Talk about the system because they they announced it and then it launched, you know, just a couple of months later And there was so much excitement because there was nothing else really around it to to detract From the system coming out. So it was kind of almost perfect that it ended up being in this Lull, but it had generated so much excitement and all through the entire summer You know people could hardly get their hands on it It just kept that hype up and then seeing oh the sales are crazy. Oh in japan People are waiting in line and taking lottery tickets and they you know, it's obviously nothing That would have happened anyway, especially if you were able to have Splatoon close to launch in japan imagine that Imagine if Splatoon was ready at launch in japan But when we talk about holidays then we talk about parents buying their kids gifts And then they might be looking for deals. They might be confused what the kid really wants deals for switch versus in may when there is no like big push for all these video game deals, you know ps4 isn't down to be fair by the time holidays rolled around For switches first holiday there was a Splatoon 2 bundle and a Super Mario Odyssey bundle Right those existed a holiday. Yeah, what would exist at it? Yeah, but still the top skew was the regular switch for black friday Launch repress of the wild but in japan hit him with Splatoon. It's like but you're not going to do that It's a region freak system. No, I'm not saying I'm not saying No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying near launch I'm saying if they release Splatoon a month or so after launch rather than three months after launch worldwide They'd be able to Garner that hype a lot faster. No, I hear what you're saying But my thing is because I mean, it's one of our upcoming topics like we we know how well switches sold And I'm like, I don't know how it could have did any better Yeah, than what than what it did if they had stock I think you could Easily hit that 20 million mark if they didn't if they didn't have problems with stock in the first four months or so Yeah People buy products because it's hard to get a hold of Right That actually helps drive hype for a system when you like amiibo people Yeah, like amiibo and people want it but they can't get their hands on it So they're desperately calling and trying to get their hands on it And maybe they only ever bought breath all the while didn't play anything else But that sale might not have happened if they didn't feel like they had to have it I think there's a fair amount of people that see that it's not available and then lose interest I was like that with amiibo where it was like and I like this isn't that big of a deal But amiibo is not a game. I'm over it doesn't play games. Well and um When it what comes to the switch I just lost my point Dang it Well, I my thing is I think you know because we're talking about kimi shima and his legacy a little bit as as president and Um, I actually think that switch launched exactly what I needed to that There's a there's one reason it launched when it did by the way to get it in before the end of fiscal year 2016 Yeah, because if they had to go to that financial briefing and be like hey look not only did we discontinue a system We don't have one to tell you about our profits are terrible And we just lost a billion dollars of our net value like that would have but that's not when I say I think the switch would have been better off. I mean the switch I don't mean like their financial situation and stuff like that I mean the fact that I think that the switch would have launched a lot stronger It would have sold more out the gate and been able to sell more as time went on because they would have had a lot more kinks. I do have to ask you about the sold more out the gate Um, so nintendo switch obviously, we know about the stock issues, but and it's launch month and uh the ensuing month It actually exceeded the playstation 4 who let's launch on the holiday. So you really think it would have out did itself Yes No system in history has ever done that. Well, and you talked about the system in history has never done Which which already did so Right Well, and you were saying that they should have piled all the games in a shorter window together, but as it was That's not what I'm saying Like if they put it out the switch and you said they had like splatoon 2 earlier on versus three months out But as it was the launch window of the switch Had some major titles and it was kind of better than almost any system launch window I can think of that was it so many first parties about the lead up It wasn't the case and the the the uh public narrative Was for a very long time and even for a lot of people still is that switch had no games Because it launched for breath of the wild and then nothing else They didn't uh, yeah, you're right They didn't advertise that they already had a plan that basically a giant nintendo game was launching every month They yeah, they could have It just outside of gaming's websites. Nobody knew Right like we knew obviously we had that giant graphic with the timeline and the game's coming out Well, like it's even I've been doing these but the people that like all I'm saying is nobody's looking at those people that say Switch has no games. They're not looking at that graphic change in every day They're looking at the old graphic that they have saved in their phones to send to their friends and say see switch has no games And that's the narrative. That's just what they exist until Maybe even next year, you know, like people are going to be saying that for a long time Right like one of their original promotional images of the games coming to switch in that first year. There was like 18 games But before the end of the year, there was over 100 games on the switch There was over 200 yeah over 200 games on the switch like they obviously were holding a lot back as far as communicating Out to people what's really coming down the pipeline? So you're right about and and all I'm saying is sales wise I think that the switch worked well In that it had more time to win developers over I gotta cover an argument for you Because you were already creating one a little bit for a second that because of when it released It's had more time for the win developers over like we went to god, dude. We went to god Uh, we'll send to you. We would have got him and we would have got what's done I don't think we would have got the developers that you went over and with with the amount of sales that we have Aren't the people that wouldn't have got NBA 2k 18 Yes, they would Every single one of those games that they released this year was ready before switch came out Uh, no doom. They said doom. They didn't commit to doom until like july They spent they spent three months porting that game so But as it was on board with switch Almost immediately. Todd Howard was so amped on switch. Yeah. Yeah first buddy, but with skyrim Yeah And then I mean, we're talking about a hypothetical my My number one current argument is is sitting here on april 27th 2018 They wouldn't have 17 million of these out in the wild yet Because we don't it'll only be on the market for five months So technically they have more on the market now than they would have if they waited Because they they're projecting 20 million for this fiscal year. Yeah, so so like The thing is is when it released like maybe it could have had 20 million in its first full year on the market or whatever But I mean It's it has 17 million now So it's just going to continue to grow like like there hasn't been anything that's happened that makes switch momentum slow down yet Which is crazy because the first half of this year I argue hasn't really been that great game wise Um for system movers just has been for playstation Well, yeah, I meant for So many times so many times ahead because they have they have a more opportune pacing right now Because of how The first two and a half years So all their games are coming out now in the second half of the life of playstation Right, but that's the situation that nintendo's in right now where it's like we have we're getting we you leftovers and a lot of you and Arguably, I mean they they uh Denied this but I see might very well be another we you hold over that they're like, oh wait We got to put a cord on this. So let's make it into a switch game rather than sure. What's the switch game? I'm sure Yeah, no, I hear you. I hear you. Um, again, I'm not saying that Switch turned out terrible and they're stupid for watching it in March. It's horrible. Horrible Yeah, I'm not saying that all I'm saying is I think that if they had a holiday launch They would have came out stronger out the gate That's all I'm saying Yeah, I I think you may that's maybe you're right about that But I think Nate's point is Particularly relevant in that they still got an extra six months in the market and they're further along in sales now Then they would have been waiting another six months. Yeah, but I give it to me that it would have sold Right, it's just it's just if we when we're looking at uh sales, right and compare playstation 4 To switch when analysts do that they're talking about One-to-one comparison. They're not saying oh man Switch is only at 17 million and playstation 4 is at 79 million. No, they're saying ps4 sold 15 million in the first Year on the market and switch sold 17 million on the first year on the market So in this scenario, they wouldn't say oh at this point, we only have seven million units sold They would say seven million units sold in four months, you know, like that sort of thing Absolutely But no, I actually agree with you That they would have A better first year in sales, but to me like there are so many advantages to releasing when they did Yes And the biggest advantage to me is third parties. It gives them a year Of seeing what this system is going to be to commit. So maybe Bethesda and 2k would have been there anyways Okay, fine And indie heroes any potential third parties that aren't here yet that might be coming this year Once I've committed in time to get any games out this year for the platform So I think I think the I think the big misconception with this debate is that You guys are looking at it as actual time. I'm looking at it on the one-to-one basis I'm not saying like as a Nintendo fan. I have to sit here with the Wii U Like I'm not looking at it like that I'm looking at it like from wind switch launches to wind switches a year out That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying yeah, no all before then Like that that's not what I mean, but a business doesn't look at it like that either because I go Well, these six months are really gonna blow Yeah Yeah, I know that because they want to win over their stock. They're uh, yeah It's also all about maximizing like profits like as an example Like say you think it would hit 20 million in that first year Well, guess what we're in a new fiscal year and they're projecting 20 million for this fiscal year anyways So they're gonna get that 20 million and now they already got the 17 before so they actually Oh, I just as a business so if so have made more if we if we look at it on uh, well That all that all falls on when their fiscal year starts and the only reason why the fiscal year matters is because of the stakeholders And I agree that the stakeholders them being the like it also matters because that's the only time they ever update Yeah, but they updated I'm I just mean in regards to switch in a vacuum Yeah, in a vacuum in a vacuum. That's why I said I agree in a vacuum like yeah, of course It could have had a better first year like dollars to donate. How much units sold all that stuff I don't know what Patrick we never considered is that that also means that we're six months into the tiger x1 being older When the tiger x2 came out in 2016 that could even meant that we could get the tiger x2 then But then if that's if you're gonna argue that then they definitely would not have enough switches to meet demand Because they would have had the tiger x2 that's fair. That's fair. So now it's just one of those things that like I would rather have a tiger x2 in that scenario So in that scenario is it fair to assume that if we had the tiger x2 that we would have the same stock shortages But we would have a tiger x2 Yeah, that's right But I also could have drove up the price because that's a newer chipset. It wouldn't have been as cheap Nvidia did have like a ton of x1s just like sitting in a warehouse because they couldn't sell it Right, right. So then maybe the now we could have been looking at a switch at a base price of 349 instead of 299 And that's why why don't we think uh, so many switches are it's all stock tiger x1 because like they just had them sitting there We have to get rid of these chips Okay, let's let's dive into this deeper then Oh boy, here we go If we if we increased the price of switch to 349 You know and it has a tiger x2 Making it price up, maybe. Huh pulling that way you 32 gig price out Right, but we're also talking about a console that's closer in performance to at the very least xbox one x in your hand x2 is not that I mean xbox one x not xbox one s like the the regular xbox one s Yeah, sure a little bit closer a little bit. Yeah I don't know about a little bit closer. It's closer, but it's not I wouldn't say I wouldn't say it's one to one The tiger x2 is literally a souped up x1 Yeah, x1 x1 is what one teraflop Like x2 still uses the same crappy cpus, which is the one thing holding switch back That's fair I think though we could still see that x2 I think maybe I think this year we won't see it. We might see no vision, but we could potentially see it Next year. Yeah Is that to say oh, we got another we got a $300 console revision for you buy this How many people with that are working out with It's not look at how much they're selling compared if if switch said tomorrow I mean if the nintendo came out tomorrow and said in the last six months, we shipped five million switch twos That's not impressive Like in the same way that five million in the first three months or whatever It would have been impressive for one console necessarily count it separately though And that's the thing like how they said oh 3ds is that this number of sales? That's what they would do with the switch and then they would just pull together the switch and switch Plus if you think about it like Like you can compare it to to sony and and xbox or whatever But I kind of look at it as just compare it to themselves Nintendo replaced the 3ds essentially with the new nintendo 3ds and that became the system seller But the 3ds is also had the price of the switch The new nintendo 3ds launched it was 250 dollars. It was like 50 bucks less Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't selling at 250 when it started selling was when it was at 160 Right. That wasn't a revision Which was a little 350 could be the problem if it did would have the x2 and it was 350 We could have had the 3ds problem with that launch price being too high because they didn't drop the 3ds 50 dollars They dropped it almost 100 dollars My argument also is that like the 300 dollar price point 80 bucks You gotta remember we're talking about console games being able to play them on the go at 300 versus 2d top down sprites Like there's a big difference in market perception on value Like you're like I can get a new nintendo 3ds for 200 dollars or for 100 bucks more I can get breath of the wild on the go So So that's exactly what i'm saying like if they're like, okay If if the if the general perception or how we're how we're saying this is like I can get a console That's closer to xbox one x i mean s on the go versus one that's closer to we you on the go Most people are going to want that xbox one on the go Well, I still think it will rest a minute. What about the casual market? The casual market isn't going to care two craps about that. They're gonna Does care about that look at how much that playstation 4 sold Yeah, but they'll still won't look as good as playstation 4 versus xbox one It'll still be a step down for them if they really care. They'll still scoff at it I'm not saying they care to the extent where it's like the ultimate thing I'm saying they care enough to be like this is a factor in my decision Yeah, and they'll they'll catch them when they do a revision in the future Will the price tag is is usually what makes nintendo systems sell so much better than everyone else because they're always so reasonably priced That's fair. I'm so glad I cut 14 topics from this That's fair I see you guys are coming from right the price is huge for nintendo it always has been Yeah, that's the one thing I will say is I would pray if they didn't launch it till holiday 2017 That it would have had the online account system ready. Oh, yeah, well that'd been great But that again, it's still not ready It's still not ready, but they also have people dedicated to keeping the switch up and running where they could have been More heads down on on that other project. Yeah divided resources potato potato. We don't know how Honestly, we really have no idea how the those teams work um so I'm actually gonna skip down to our third tab But we'll come back to the second because the second time it dealt dealt with e3 We were talking about sales figures So if you know what let's get into That does dive into the sales data because we got a whole bunch of sales data this week It's the end of the fiscal year report for nintendo Um, and we learned just a ton of stuff And including not even this isn't a fiscal reward thing. We also have an update on labo sales in japan So i'm just gonna go down the list of the sales updates that we have and then we'll You guys stop me if there's like one of these things you want to you want to kind of touch on with something First off stardew valley sold nearly a million on switch. Yes. That was announced by nintendo nintendo also announced that overcooked sold over 500 000 copies on switch Fire emblem warriors has shipped over one million so it hasn't sold a million yet But there's a million of them out in the wild to buy Uh bayonetta 2's sales are outpacing the original bayonetta 2's release on we you Great, so it hasn't outsold it yet But it's selling faster than they want the old one did um Kirby star allies has sold 1.26 million units Not too bad for two weeks of data. Yeah Xenoblade chronicles 2 is now the best selling xenoblade chronicles game of all time It's actually the best selling xeno game period across any xeno type game Even the zeno saga games and stuff What even like xeno saga and all that stuff? Wow, it is the best selling xeno game of all time Great for those developers nemonolith, baby. Great job Arms as we know brand new fighting game ip has 1.85 won't be surprised that that hits 2 million before it's all that's nuts Yeah fighting game a new fighting game like even like Like that's not as impressive as some numbers i'm about to get to but it's like Go look at the sales of fighting games like 2 million getting close to that that's big in the fighting game That's why that's impressive The fact that it's a fighting game and it's a new ip Yeah in the fighting game genre a couple million is is like yeah, baby You're making and and it's not a particularly serious approach to fighting. You know, it's not Uh, super technical, uh, you know, you're trying to get the hitbox is just right kind of thing It's oh come back Yeah, exactly and it's still selling this well It's like really it's selling better than a lot of those games at that Crazy, that's not speaking of selling better a one-two switch 2.29 million Uh, not bad Yeah, yeah, if it was a pack and they could they would have It's we sports, um But yeah It probably sold a lot of these units i assume sold in the launch window because Again, there wasn't a lot of other games to buy and people like what do these joycons do? Oh, look, here's the game about joycons, right? Yeah, I actually like one two switch, but it's also like it's a party game Yeah, if you don't know people to play with it's not fun. It's fine. You're probably not gonna play it That was the game. That's the game where it's like I hear here. Nice play this Yeah, I mean it's just like the just dances of the world like if you're playing with other people It's a lot of fun. But like yeah, yeah on your own just like it's a game that exists I got three hours to kill by myself. What do I do one two switch one two switch Oh board game style Who you are Only game I have is one two switch. Yeah Yeah, I think it's fine if you're like a kid and you're playing with your brother's sister But like as if you're if you're like a young adult, which was the primary audience to switch in your one And the only game you bought at launch was one two switch. Just like what? Yeah By bomber man, please One kid if you bought it for one kid you're cool Unless you're gonna unless you're gonna game with the kid always Yeah, if you're playing with the kid, that's different. But if like any one person playing one two switches is a sad situation Yeah, I mean maybe they love milking cows virtually that much Competing my left hand versus all right. Yeah, that's right. That's what you get starting value for is milking those cows Um, so another impressive figure coming out is platoon two has moved 6.02 million units. Wow guaranteed half of those are japan Japan is just over 2 million. So about a third of them is wow Which means they're also means across seas It is almost sold as much as platoon one all together like not counting japan, which that to me is crazy Um, so crazy popular. There's a reason that we're getting a platoon two tournament again this year at e3 like It's crazy popular They just released the 3.0 update for it this week added x-rank and all this stuff like yeah, yeah Then this game is blowing up I thought platoon did awesome for a we u game as a new IP And I was platoon two is like, uh, this could hit seven eight nine million. What I don't know what's happening This is gonna be surprised if you hit 10 Oh, yeah at over lifetime if they don't release any other platoon game on switch And they continue to update it continue to tournaments and stuff. Oh, yeah, it's gonna keep selling Um, it feels like the new evergreen IP that once per generation game like a smash or Mario kart and something that that just sells the whole time Uh, I agree So next up for for sales update for breath of the wild It is now officially the best selling zelda game of all time. Yes 8.48 million is crushing it for single platform sales And then if you add in we use sales, it is the first zelda game ever to cross 10 million. Wow Congratulations, nintendo. That's great. Like that's been something they've been wanting to do forever Closest they could get is a little bit over 8 million with twilight princess combined sales. Um, but yeah, just just crushing it I mean not only did it win all these awards it There's never been as like 30 plus years in and it's peaking. That's crazy. Yeah um, that's how old that franchise is and Now to me this puts a lot of pressure into like, how do you follow up that? Yep, because you kind of drop the ball after ocarina of time so I think that game says a lot To the like the people that are like gotta stick to conventions because you might lose fans like that That's like or we break all the conventions go a little old school add in some new stuff and oh my god We just made the best selling zelda game of all time, right? I get a ton of those comments where i'm like, hey, maybe maybe 20 years for the same old same old with pokemons a little bit too long Maybe yeah, maybe we need to take some breath of the wild inspirations there completely, um So let me see. Uh, why don't you guys quickly go over the next sales? I'll do this last shot here for ever norton I have to go let someone in is at my house quick. Okay sounds good. I gotta pull this out I got it. Uh, uh, mario kart 8 deluxe has sold 9.22 million Units 10 million units Yeah, how many For sure. I want to see what mario kart 8 on it was it was eight something A 9.2 million. Oh we you. Oh, no. Oh, sorry. Oh, no, it was it was eight something on we you So it's already outsold all the lifetime sales on we you which it was on there for what three years Yeah Amazing amazing. Yeah, it's nuts. And it's so early on in the switches life cycle we're probably not going to see mario kart 9 for Not this year probably not next year. We might not see mario kart 9 until 2020 Yeah, and if that's the case, where is mario kart 8 deluxe going to be sales wise by that time? It's I wonder what they're counting with that because usually what the longest gap So far has been like what three four years Yeah So I wonder if they're going to be like all right new starting point Like this is this is where we start that three four years from 2017 That's where mario kart 8 came out everybody Not 2015 or 2014 Yeah, I mean it could be because I really don't know how much effort they had to put into it To add that new battle mode, you know, like a real battle mode Um, so maybe maybe that took effort away from doing mario kart 9 But maybe you're right. Maybe it wasn't all that much and Plus, I think they're ready to go worked on arms So Oh, yeah, that's another that's another wrench in that maybe that that says that they don't even they're like nah We're good. We're not going to do mario kart 9 anytime soon They might have figured that so many people didn't buy we use that they'll be okay waiting a little while longer. Yeah But uh Go ahead. They're going to be like, oh, yeah, so that was just a beta release That's not that wasn't the new mario kart Exactly mario kart because mario kart like I think the what mario kart we passed 22 million. Oh, yeah, like it's insane numbers Like mario kart is usually up there like in the 10s 15 20 million units sold Yeah, territory like I think mario kart 8 deluxe In the event that they're like, yeah, we don't want to do mario kart In the event that they do that it's going to be that 20 30 million unit sold On yeah, like the tattooing on mario kart games is insane Yeah, I'm I love that And they they continue to to try to make that series more interesting too They they aren't holding on tradition tradition quite so hard with mario kart like adding things like oh now we do underwater now We do anti gravity Uh, we then they also the crazy thing is on top of that wacky crazy stuff that they throw in there like Now we're you're driving on uh mobius strips and stuff Tighter it becoming a racing game Which is great because like double dash for instance like everybody loves that game But the mechanics are too loose way too loose So it's like it gets tighter and tighter and they add gliders and anti gravity and you know, I'll just create right Yeah, that's that's that's a good and they respect the retro so much I mean how many games now have they been doing the move where they say oh remember this track that you liked Here it is again with better graphics and updated mechanics and it's like that's a genius idea That's like the only like because nintendo, especially with mario games. They're like so against like remastering them Where it's like, uh, this is the only time you'll ever see a 16 bit mario thing and 1080p Yeah And you know, like exactly rainbow road and and mario circuit and all that stuff like it's like what yeah So they they did a great job there and and I I'm excited to see where those numbers go And how long we'll have to wait before we see anything actually new in mario kart world Other than of course the mobile game, which could very well drive more sales for this I thought that was a sign that they were gonna that they were thinking about a mario kart 9 Because usually when they do a mobile game that's leading up to something else Maybe we'll see if we hear anything about that new, uh, animal crossing switch Haven't heard anything about that yet. That's that's happening. Maybe it'd be nice to finally see fire That was announced for this year. At least they had fireman warriors They could at least like pretend that that's the game it was tying into That's fire Yeah, we already did fire on the switch fireman switch came out in october you guys are crazy exactly Uh, and obviously we got super mario odyssey. Yeah hitting with that 10.41 Um, that's small little indie game. Yeah, that's small little indie game best selling game overall on switch Regardless of indies or third parties. Uh, well, it's interesting about this I actually was I dug into this because it's not a surprise to see oh look a mario game So 10 million but for 3d mario games. Yeah, actually the second best selling one right now behind Uh, super mario 64. We're still like 11.41 million. Yeah, odyssey's gonna crush that. It's coming for you Odyssey's gonna be 2d mario territory This 2d mario's some of them some of them Mario uh, new super mario bros, uh, we is like what 29 million or something Well, yeah, yeah, and even like super mario world or super mario bros three like those are crazy high too But I don't know if it'll quite get up to I mean I could get to 20 mil I don't know if it's gonna quite get like the 30 million marks We'll see it might depend on what happens with other mario games on the system and so forth, but Maybe they give us a 2d mario and and all I know is best selling 3d mario, um, it's gonna end up in this. Yeah, how much did uh What uh, what's it called? What's it called? Uh mario 3d land. How much did that sell? Oh, well, let me double 3d land or 3d world the 3ds were laying 3d world's like 5 million or something like that. Yeah, let me let me check 3d land I just had this list up earlier this week. That's how I knew that stat. Um, but let me actually We're all sitting here just googling it guys I know I was looking at this earlier. Um, 3ds Let's see it is 0.96 million so that Is the highest selling 3d mario game. Well to be fair. It's kind of we don't have official nintendo figures for This oh, you're talking about for yeah for 64. Yeah, we don't have any official figures All we have is third-party figures for that one. So and some people Don't know people agree with this. They don't consider it a 3d Consider it in between. Yeah, which is dumb. It's a 3d game, but but yeah I don't am I even it's like It's not a traditional Like what they've done with 3d games. It's yeah, it's kind of its own like approach to what a mario 3d game is Everything is 3d That's why like the term 3d and 2d. I feel like we need to start throwing those out the window Like they don't matter anymore. It was a good descriptor like 20 years ago. Now. It's like, okay That doesn't work like Now like now when I tell us all the games It's not 3d and 2d cell the game. It's top down cell the games And then Everything else right um So and the thing is it wasn't really a side school like like a traditional side scrolling Uh one either it was like a mix of both And then like I had someone tell me the other day. Well, yeah, but that makes it its own thing I'm like was odyssey it's own thing. There is 2d sand scrolling in odyssey And galaxy 2 is more in line with that whole, you know, like get to the flagpole flagpole sort of thing You know level to level rather than the world approach or sandbox approach Well, yeah, the sandbox approach has a menu since sunshine, I think last time Right, and that's like everybody's way of defining the games. It's like the sandbox ones, but galaxy's not that Yeah, no galaxy's not that at all um All right, uh, let me see some other some other figures out there just to round up the game figures We do the nintendo labo debuted with 120 000 units in japan last week 90 000 of that was the variety kit 30 000 was the uh robot kit and uh The variety kit was number one Been in sales for last week and god of war was number two. I think with 42 000 Also did next last week and then and then labo and then everything I've had a huge drop-off after labo Um, that's rock god of war people are not filling it in japan Well, it's gotta remember In japan Any portable system is 99 more popular than a home console. That's true But I still think that like Look at like dragon quest on playstation 4 Sure, they care about a game. They're going to they're going to show up for that game. Sure Yeah, actually, how is dragon quest uh heroes doing on switch because that came out in japan, but it didn't come here I don't think that yeah Because they had both one and two on switch and they're like we might bring one of them over but well, maybe not Yeah, like that was listed on amazon. I remember I had that pre-ordered for a while I was like, oh, I guess it's not coming. So I'm gonna follow through with any of the other dragon quest games. They said they were gonna come over We got builders. We got builders. Yeah, we got that much but not builders too Is that out? I'm maybe not maybe that was announced. I feel like there was something revolving builders too. So I'm I'm gonna rely on you guys big for this because I forgot to look it up because the switch killed 17.79 million Um, what I'm trying to remember was their projection for 15 million total sales or was it 15 million just for that fiscal year It was 15 million for the fiscal year. Oh, that's the case because a lot of people are saying they destroyed the uh The projections well, they didn't because they sold 2.7 in the launch month So they only exceeded it by 700 000 units then if it was 15 million for the fiscal year Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was fiscal year. It might have been for the year That's what I'm trying to remember like was it supposed to be 15 million all together or was it just fiscal year because it actually like I I remember reading some of the headlines are written in and none of them detailed out what nintendo's actual projections were Like it's just crushed projections, but it never told us what the projection was because do they ever make projections? Yes, they're like for the calendar year. We're going to sell They already have Right, right, but they have a they have a projection for the fiscal year, right? Yeah so I'm saying like Would their whole thing of like counting the entire sales force switch so far as that projection Would that hold up because they usually make projections for fiscal years? Well, that's what their projection what it was for was for fiscal year, right? So that's what I'm saying. So that's why I'm saying like because everyone knows 15 million wasn't number they threw out there Yeah, so I'm assuming that they meant that's how many they would sell so they did exceed it Just yeah, not by as much as people think they did. Well, except that their original projections was only like 10 So if you think about it, they did destroy their original projections, but they didn't destroy the one that we're talking about Which is right. They revised it late last year finally after it already basically had broken their original projections They didn't they finally wrote oh, yeah, by the way, it's about to cross 10. I suppose we should update this right Um crazy What are the best is it's Again, me being unprepared. Is this the best? Like first 13 months for a console ever? Um, I think we might still be outpacing it Because it's hard to tell because I got you gotta look at year one It's actually nothing hard because you gotta look at year one sales and then minus 2.7 ml off. Yeah I think there's like a well, I don't know how reliable that is But there's like oh wikipedia has its own like page dedicated to to the we sell I know like 10 months in it was still the fastest selling console in the us I don't remember if that carried through the rest of the two months there Right, but I I know that wasn't the case for like Europe. Like it was a case for Right here in Japan. Yeah, but it wasn't the case for Europe. Right. Yeah, so global numbers. Yeah, I'm not sure where it fits there globally so Okay, wait, yeah, I'm trying to find year one because I know it was for a long time on pace to be year one Um, according to the wiki sales chart like on wikipedia. It says year one, uh, we Uh shifted 20 million 20 40 million Where'd playstation 4 slide in there in the first uh PlayStation 4 i'm pretty sure was under but let me let me double check I have a an article from ign here from uh in january where the first year sales Uh, we in ps4 were 13.7 and 13.5 so they were like super even And they were still projecting the switch sales so they didn't have the numbers in yet They were projecting the switch was at 14 million, which we know that they did make so it sounds like they did This says the the first article that I say that I see saying like within the year So, uh, playstation 4 in a year and change. It's about a year in a month It shifted 18 18.5 million. Oh, okay So we don't know who had technically had the best first year Just year and change technically PlayStation 4 still beat it out. Yeah, what's the change? Yeah It's about a month and a half because the article was posted in january Okay, uh ps4 launched or what I had there would have had a month and a half a holiday sales plus the next year. Yeah. Yeah, so Okay, yeah, so that does give it that slide edge because it has a couple extra weeks Yeah, because ps4 had more holidays at that point. Yeah, and and the couple extra weeks was holiday period Which is important. Right. Yes. So playstation 4 got two full holidays versus switches one Well, still switch on pace one of the fastest selling consoles of all time. It's probably the best selling console to ever launch in march Yeah What's the handhelds launched in March? Yeah, some have I think uh 3ds. I think was a march launch if we're talking that was very successful It's first year. It's first year wasn't wasn't very good. It's harder to like place that because they don't launch like this is the first um I'm pretty sure first worldwide launch For a nintendo console. Yes. I think you're right Because I know when you didn't launch at day and date everywhere No, they've staggered and and the crass the crazy thing with the playstation launch is they actually staggered as well And still hit that kind of numbers Create like they didn't want shortages and they still had shortages. That's why they were staggering They had shortages for different reasons though They allocated consoles in the wrong place because they thought it was going to do a lot better in japan than it ended up Yeah, because a lot of the reason why it launched first in the u.s Yeah, but a priority, but yeah, but that's what I'm saying. They launched first in the u.s They had a certain stock allocated to japan japan did not give a single fuck about So they're they're like scrambling like, okay, we got to reallocate these and we got to ship consoles back so we can sell them here in you in the u.s And stuff like that rather than them not being able to manufacture them fast enough to sell. Yeah, I hear you on that And that's what the like the staggered launches are for and so they can figure out like, okay We can allocate this much here. We have this stock for this and then doing it like that right and having the Like manufacture them all in bulk and then figure that out like, okay, how much we allocate? Yeah all at once Yeah, um, so I guess uh, I'm looking at this we have about 27 minutes until q&a Let's uh, let's get into what top of two is because this is news I think a lot of people care about uh, is that they tend to kind of unveiled their e3 plans Honestly, we basically knew all these plans anyways, but this is just what they already announced the tournaments But now we just have like eight more exact details about certain things As an example, they're that is right now. It's just called a video presentation They used to call it the nintendo digital event So this could signify they're going to change the name because they didn't put an asterix by it and say this is a temporary name So Don't know they called it a nintendo direct before they called it a digital event I don't know if they've actually settled on what to call it because it is bigger than any other Like pre-recorded presentation they do usually when they say So this you said this is video presentation. That's what it says on the e3.nintendo account. Um, because usually Uh, when they call it a presentation that usually implies a live studio audience sort of situation Yeah, but they're not they say it's not live. Yeah So they're they're they're just they're wording just doesn't matter. Yeah It doesn't matter. They asterisked it and said this isn't the final name. So, um So, yeah, that's happening june 12th, which if you know anything about the history it always happens the first day v3 9 a.m. Pacific So, yeah, it they said this is probably the only interesting takeaway outside of the fact that they said including smash Obviously that smash. Um, that's the game they're advertising headed in It's that it's it they noted that it will get a look at nintendo switch games for 2018 so one 3ds not even being mentioned. Yeah, at least not in the lead up Despite the fact that nintendo claims are supporting 3ds in 2019 to be on yet at the biggest event in the world They're just not even gonna mention the thing But it'll might be like Once it's fine. I don't know that they're not gonna mention in the treehouse tree or something But yeah, just because it's not in the wording doesn't mean they're not gonna mention it. They may have De-emphasized that people would be pissed if they saw that in there, you know what I mean? Because I mean even with the 2018 thing, you know, like they're they they stressed that last year was like, we're just seeing 2017 like in this In the next uh, 16 months or whatever. That's all we're seeing and then we saw metroid prime. It's like, what? Yeah, well, yeah It set the expectations. So if they do want to tease something it'll be a surprise Right, they're making it easier for them. So they also did know this was actually They did put this in the pr release for it. They said e3 Uh, we're only gonna feature games releasing this year and then they said but we will be announcing games for 2019 at a later date So they never said that before they're like, oh, well, we are gonna talk about 2019 this year. Just not at e3 Right, they're basically referencing a nintendo director gonna do down the road or something Obviously and probably at the game awards, you know, they tease something every year. So they'll tease something there for 2019 See, I'd be down if they did like like because The thing I don't like about e3 conferences and I think we talked about this last week specifically sony e3 conferences Is that we never get dates We never get dates anything else. That's how sony does it And I don't like it consistently If it's just this random, uh, like event that we didn't know about like, you know, nintendo's like, hey, we're having a direct two days from now Uh, get ready for it and then us content creators like oh crap We gotta scramble and figure this out, you know, I guess or anything It's one of like three things that I think are always guaranteed about press conferences at e3 Sony's gonna tease you a bunch of games. You won't see for three or four or five years. No one really knows Um That uh, ubi soft is gonna have something weird and awkward happen that doesn't fit But they're gonna do it anyways. They're also gonna have like a major Like a big thing because they had like a watch dog. Yeah. Yeah, I was at least for like all of it I give They're dedicated to new ip stuff. It's crazy. They're doing what you're calling space So it's everyone says you can't do new ip's. They're like, ah dude, we're doing one of here. Um And uh, ea is always gonna have either a presenter or someone who interviews that's gonna blow it Ever like, I don't know why they try like ea tries so hard to be like, we're gonna do this professional business Presentation that's like dude, you're talking to gamers Yeah, we don't we don't want these youtubers on there. We don't want you interviewing a soccer star. Nobody gives a crap Seems off base for the audience in general for e3 Because like as I understand it most gamers don't give a crap about half of their conference because they're talking about FIFA Madden and you know like The people that don't watch e3 care about the people that don't care about Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, well the press release when I when I was at here's the thing though when I was at e3 two years ago Um One it was very difficult to figure out how to play ea games because that was the first year that it ea played Even when I went to ea play like I'm like, where do I play games? You have merch guy here merch guy here some cool arcade in here, but where do I play your games? Oh, you don't play at ea play. You go to all the different, uh, you know Console people you know play stage 4 and and xbox I go in there and I'm like, well, you know what? Because I played madden that year Uh, there was actually a decent line to play madden at at the conference And I think what's helped them out at least ea for e3 is that now they let the public in you go buy a public pass And ea let's public in in general. Yeah. Yeah, because they do the ea play thing Which you can get in with an e3 pass, but it's technically a separate thing Right. Sure. Actually. I got to see if my gamer pass even gets into that this year Oh Yeah, e3 is uh, they're really trying to get people to buy those Yeah, I well we had a gamer pass is committed qualify for media this year. Yeah, I think I think that's why is what I'm saying I'm actually the only thing I'm actually mad about the media pass thing is outside of the fact that my show Our times are like the show floor times are cut back. Um, I don't get access to the media room Which normally I won't give a crap about But I will say in 2016 when I needed to rest that's where you go It's just media and there's always a place to sit Sure Like otherwise, there's nowhere to sit because there's just too many people. Yeah, um Anyways, uh, so the video presentation that's obviously the big thing people look forward to most and then the trio stream and You know all that stuff afterwards and all the coverage that people like us will well people like me Maybe other youtubers as well. We'll be doing of like get it going hands-on with games Um, they're gonna have live streams as always throughout from the senator treehouse This I actually thought was interesting because they haven't done that because last year when they had the arms tournament and the spittoon tournament They did it on the show floor This year the smash of the two tournaments are not even happening at the la convention center Uh there uh nokia What there's no the bolusco theater Oh Which is like four or five blocks away. So it's within walking distance to go to it. You have to get tickets for it Um, but that tournament, I don't know what time I gotta They haven't announced all the times for it I gotta see what the times are because I don't know if I'm gonna go or not yet Just to be in the crowd and watch but so yeah, that's interesting because that puts the events less in the spotlight Because you have to make more of an effort to get over there But That way probably makes it a lot cheaper for them not to be in the main e3 I've used this in the smash brothers, uh tournament wasn't On the show for either That was at a separate location too. That uh, that was yeah, you're talking about when they did the internal championships, right? Yeah, the uh, when they did the smash brothers invitation. It was one of them Oh, yeah, the very first one way back for we Yeah, yeah, I know that that wasn't there. That was that happened actually before e3 the day before um But last year they did arm's it's what's into right there on the show floor And I think the reason they're not doing it this year is I think my hope is that they have so many games They're gonna be playable that they need that space That'd be great. They can't dedicate. I could also be on stage. It could also be the smash brothers takes up so much because Right, probably is when we you when it was on we went through. Yes. It took up more than half of their show floor So it's gonna take up a lot. They seem to be theming their whole space after one game nowadays Considering that all they're mentioning having them in smash. That's what the whole show floor is going to be themed after smash Half of it's going to be smash Right, but that's also why they probably want that extra floor space. They're like, yeah, that half is smashed But what if we I know it might seem to launch it now, but what if pokemon is this year? No, we need a huge section for pokemon 2 and we need a huge section for this game And a huge section for like if they have any first party nintendo games besides mario tennis and smash they need room Or how are you gonna play them? According to nintendo york, that's one of their announcements. Oh, yeah, that's true So so we'll probably get we'll definitely get more stuff that's playable there because they did say that Unless they're they don't want to say you'll be able to play smash brothers and that's it Uh, but they did say you'll be able to play some of the games that they announced there So Yeah, so, uh, so yeah, we got um Yeah, so the smash platoon tournaments at different places, uh, nintendo new york's gonna have they're gonna have some of Not all of the games at e3, but some of them playable um The uh, let me see here Uh, semi finals for this platoon two world championships is on june 11th Which is the day before e3 uh from 3 30 p.m. To 6 p.m. Uh, pacific Uh, the finals for that are on june 12th, and they don't have a time for them yet set in stone I'm assuming they're trying to look at a slot that's after the closing of the show floor So it kind of follows up their treehouse stream and leads into it Um, and then right after that is the smash finals because they're doing it the same day right after platoon finals are over in the same venue Um, and yeah, obviously the the one big news people took away is that yeah, they're only talking about 2018 games supposedly Well, if we had 200 games in 2017, how many we're gonna get 2018? Yeah, a lot of indie games, but any games are fun amazing indie games Um, both of the third party stuff's come in 2019 because of the uh, totally the whole um, 32 I mean 34 gigabyte carts Enter a manufacturer. Yeah, I don't know that matters because the parties won't even use the 32 gig Right, right, and it's but at the same time a lot of the next You know a lot of them at the beginning where they're like, oh, we don't like we want to hedge our bets and use a Lower capacity chip our cart. Um, was because they didn't know switch was going to work out sales one Sure, you you could argue that but now wolfenstein 2 Which apparently is only 13 something gigabytes big on the platform They're putting it on an 8 gigabyte cart and you still have to download five. That's true But it actually went smaller in the cart they use with doom So they cut it with the doom size and fit the whole game with like now Like that We like the sales of doom but that ate into too much profit. So we're going to eat, right So it's kind of it's kind of interesting that like it's a nice argument to make but until we see it Right You know, we really don't know no one's done it yet So every single major third party game that's bigger than 16 gigs Really just depends on if like maybe the reason why they did that Was because they saw that the sales for doom weren't affected by the fact that people had to download Yeah, maybe that's the only real reason to go with the higher cart is but people saying I don't know if I want to download extra data. I'm not buying this game You know, like the entirety of the single player was on the cart, right? That's true. Oh, there's a whole like yeah, it wasn't affected because people didn't need to download Unless they wanted to play multiplayer whereas there isn't multiplayer for Wolfenstein So you have to download it to play a single player. That's true So I think this is a lot of this we don't know because All we know factually is that these cards cost way more than a disc But how much And like we don't know Nintendo I think is obviously not cutting anything out of that cost like look you want to come on our platform You pay our prices for the cards because we are a sole provider of these cards So what is in their strategy? So, you know, we don't know third parties more and more and more likely I don't think are ever going to use the bigger cards. I think those bigger cards are going to be in Nintendo only Probably because they get all the discounts. It's well, I mean, it's discount Discounts they still it's still more expensive than a disc even for Nintendo, right? But the No, we have 32 gig cards, but like smash bros, it's 25 gigs. We're going to make you download half of it Like that's a terrible look for a first-party company. Like so we have the technology, but nah Yeah, yeah, but nintendo is also the company that says well, this game was 25 gigabytes But we found we're going to make it 12. I think it was Grinning question There was a game in japan actually that uses a 32 gigabyte card in the third party Oh Panic button is also that because Wolfenstein what it's like 55 gigabytes on PlayStation 4 and xbox one It's like 90 mpc too Yeah, and it's what did you say it was like 13 gigabyte 13 13 point something. Yep It's inherently going to be a pretty small game by well It's also one of those that when people have to realize in these file sizes a lot of it's uncompressed Yeah assets assets that are 4k 1080 1440p Like you get rid of uncompressed assets and you replace them with compressed 720 and under That's all significantly smart. I can tell you right now when I record 4k footage It's like eight times the size of my 1080p footage Yeah, that's that like everyone's I'm so impressed that they shrug it down. I'm like Funny note the assets that switch can't use yeah That I think it's more impressive For like in regards to nintendo like their compression method Like that's impressive but people seeing that like oh wolfenstein so much smaller on switch than it is on PlayStation like duh Because yeah It's about informed consumers versus people that don't know what why it's smaller or I see people are you it's small Oh, they obviously kind of bunch of stuff. Look how small Do you know again uninformed consumers it'd be frustrating talking to them at times And because the thing is like I might just have the most informed consumer out there But I try to be I have to be I can't talk about the stuff without knowing something You can't inform them if you're not informed because our fans are calling me out on it If I don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah in a hurry. Um So we got about 12 minutes here I do want to touch on this one topic. Um There was that rumor that kind of floated out there this week that fortnite's coming to switch um It comes from a twitter handle pixel par they got some stuff right for a march direct That's why people are kind of listening to it. Plus. I think people kind of feel like fortnite's just a really good fit on switch Yeah, um, so there's also the it's the most popular streaming game in the world and uh Yeah, switch. Yeah, because they would run it platform you use to stream You can though come to the dock. That's all you need. That's true. Um, so and Well, it's uh, oh you capture card too guys, but streamers streamers. No, like actual streamers that are good They know all of that we have capture cards and everything right um But apparently it's supposed to feature switch exclusive content, which I would assume would be a skin Right mario costumes or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, and then uh, it's gonna be the battle royale Which is free everywhere. No word if it would be free on switch And it would include also the stories like the actual what the game was originally supposed to be before the battle royale And uh, the the thing is that us gamer publication, uh, they contacted their sources Who are close to fortnite and nintendo they said close to not necessarily people who work there so again Who do you not believe basically they're saying close to get nintendo? Yeah, like like their sources are saying that there's no plans for fortnite on switch or to be because the big news out of it Also, no plans even mean Yeah, the thing is like pixel part. I mean, we'll know soon enough because pixel part literally said they're planning to announce at a d3 So right we don't have to wait long to find out if it's it would be a big reveal to any totally um, and it gets a jump on pub g Uh, potentially coming to switch like it would maybe And it would also make that one that one game because it's coming to switch people won't care anymore. There's like a crash royale Oh, yeah, something like that. Like some people care about it because oh my god It's the only battle royale game on switch for everyone. He's like, oh fortnite's coming. Yeah, everyone's gonna forget about crash royale um But again, it's a rumor random twitter person Verified publication Both disagree, but the us gamer is not saying it won't happen They're just saying that from who they talk to They don't fix a bar guy have industry insider and his twitter bio I don't let me look. I actually follow him on twitter twitter. So I was following him back during the march direct He was putting up some stuff Let me see He does not no, I believe him then Yeah, he's not calling himself that he uh He he's also the for those who don't know He made a bet on when uh, pokemon would be unveiled for switch It was just a bet. He said it wasn't based on any sources And he said if he got it wrong, he'd have to draw every single tweet until it's unveiled So literally he's been drawing every single tweet now for weeks And it's quite entertaining if you follow it. It's I almost don't want him to go back to tweeting again Because it I like he's actually a pretty decent artist. Yeah, he is it's like, uh, it's like a me verse is still going on his twitter rip Yeah, so, uh It's kind of like like his most recent one was 15 hours ago the nintendo times He kind of drew a newspaper with with a bunch of the news um, it's kind of cool. Yeah, like He's got some talent and I think is I And he's been around since february 2016. So like this isn't a new account That's also noble as well. It's not like one of the three. I just popped on twitter and made up some stuff and got it right Like he's actually bettered out a little bit. Yeah, but again We don't know the sources for us gamer and we don't know this person I I think people want to believe it because they want fortnite Well, isn't there also fortnite mobile? I mean, yes, it can absolutely run on switch There's no question about that But I think if they're willing to put it on mobile devices where controls suck Then I think I think companies there I think it's smarter for a company to put a game on mobile than it is to put it pretty much anywhere else Yeah, there's 100 plus million billions of people That are able to play these games like there's like there's over a billion smartphones out there I don't know if they're all able to run the game. So that's why I said A couple hundred million that are able to play these games. I also want to I forgot one of the part of the rumor from pixel power was that Uh, how is it that cross play would also be a thing with the switch? Which we do know that it would only cross play with mobile and pc and xbox. It wouldn't touch playstation Of course, we know that already if that was a thing, but um So, yeah, there's I don't really have any thoughts on it because again, it's just two people who disagree Believe what you want. Just throw it out there because I know a lot of people do want fortnight I know a lot of our fans actually play fortnight. Yeah I trust him because he didn't put industry insider in his body. Yeah he's not trying to say that he is an insider but like He had like the march direct is what people appointed to for a nintendo stuff But he's gotten stuff right for playstation and xbox in the past student So I think it's just one of those guys that you he might just be someone who knows like as a friend Or he's worked a lot based on his art skills. Maybe he's worked in the industry Kind of got out of it and he's like I got some connections I'll just kind of not put my real name out there because I don't want to connect anyone to get in trouble but just I'll Say what I got when I got and from inflation and just see what happens Um, but and that's the thing like a lot of rumors have been coming from twitter But twitter even though they're all the fake accounts If you pay attention to the correct twitter accounts, like a lot of them have been getting a lot of stuff right for switch specifically Emily rogers and robison Like if you follow the right people Like these tons of leaks have been happening for switch like crazy And almost all of them not all of them but all the ones from the jit sources have been right. It's Interesting we got pokemon stars. That was a good That was Hey, I remember when uh, mario plus Travis kingdom metal entirely leaked before e3. Yeah, literally point for point How the game is gonna work? Liam, uh, roberton had uh The the image of mario as his profile picture with sunglasses over it. Yeah. Yeah Um, let's see. I got about six minutes here. Uh, the last we got two two stories Uh, they're both related to Bethesda because the Bethesda games first off is that uh, woops Time two is a really state now and switch Coming out june 29th Don't think it's a big surprise coming out soon ish because it was already playable in packs It's probably gonna be playable at e3. If not at nintendo's boo that Bethesda's um So there's that for people who want to know not really much. I mean, I guess it's What is that? Is that uh, six or seven months after it first came out? Think it came out in november something like that Um, so it didn't do the full year out It's technically closer to launch than doom was of course, dude. The switch wasn't even a thing. So Can't really get mad about that. Um, and then Bethesda commented on sales. They didn't give us any numbers I don't know why But Bethesda just doesn't give numbers so Like and on anything like finding actual sales figures on anything Bethesda They gave us numbers for fall four like what when it's something to brag about When it's like the most impressive numbers ever sure Hey goods, we want like best, um, so but that's uh What were their head pr guys said that they're actually really happy with the sales of their games so far on switch Um, that they exceeded expectations, but we don't know what those expectations were they could have been like nothing And it's selling better than 18 units sold Doom is actually the best selling switch game. Um And uh, they did say that they will bring Any all future titles to switch or most of them unless it's technologically impossible So it's kind of one of the things that Yeah, we'll commit all over games, but like except the ones that won't run Which we're not gonna tell you which ones can run or not. So you don't know what to expect That's an excuse Because every game and what I think the only thing that could really stop a game for running is the online infrastructure Well, it all it all spins on the edge. The keeping is an id id tech six There's no reason but but here's the thing though because in the past Game developers would sometimes have two totally separate engines when they developed a game Because they wanted to make sure games were on multiple generations their artistic vision Okay, just saying are technically impossible is just a cop out. It is but artistic vision. Okay We gotta keep down And the game's literally unplayable if the artistic vision is not met you can't play right he's got a point Right gotta gotta be gotta be um Yeah, I guess that's that's uh, you guys keep talking a little bit when I look up what some of the Those in the chat you guys are starting questions in for the q&a Um, you can re-ask questions. You might have asked earlier. I'm gonna kind of scroll because I know there was a couple early questions All right chat let's get to the serious issues. How much better are waffles and pancakes? Let's let's get to it You're you're wrong either way. It's french toast How dare you how dare you delicious Cinnamon french toast to be I don't know why we can't have all three every time. We don't do that. We're gamers We're supposed to pick one horse and ride it here in a lot of cant around here, but I think it just takes some willpower You know what that's not our artistic vision. So Our first question, uh, mr. Edward Norton who I think is the only person to super chat tonight. He has a question. He said, uh What news has disappointed us? uh that E3 isn't tomorrow Um that nintendo specifically said that they would only target with 20 antique games I almost want them to do the sony thing just once Don't do it if you're going to do that do it in a direct do it in something that i'm not expecting and and building up expectation for and wanting It to like won't that almost make it worse? They do it accidentally when they're like this game's coming out this fall and they're like never mind It's two years from now. The pokemon hasn't been announced yet. There we go. Oh, yeah But that's a lack of news. We got the soul. That is a lack of news. That's true What actual news what actual news come on man That's disappointing me. Um the the uh, the 3ds is not dead yet. Yes, there we go There we go We're gonna keep the board at 2019 and me on I think it's a bunch of them. They have to say that because they don't have a choice but still um that news I would be fine with the life support that 3ds is on if we just mentioned is coming to 3ds and such Right on both just put it on both. That's all you got to do Like they're doing it with a pretty much every game coming to 3ds and you're just going to be on so Right, there's it's really huge which ones shouldn't shouldn't be on both systems It's like just do it all of them should be on both systems go for it Because they're willing they're really to uh willing to do the dual release thing with like fire emblem warriors And those warrior games barely run on 3ds, right? So like why not? Just put it on Uh, so everett had a second question as well. He said uh Would you guys hack your switch just to play gamecube games or are you going to be patient? Uh for arcade archives to come out with it. Listen, I don't even have time to play switch games on my switch Well, it wouldn't be called arcade archives by the way, that's right It could be like license did gamecube archives or or something but um No, I No, I'm not gonna hack my switch I would never do that if especially if I only have one copy of a system because first of all that has implications to what you can do online When you hack a console usually that means you can't do online stuff anymore because the nintendo servers are checking for hack systems So if I have one switch and I've hacked it Well, I've given up my ability to play out online games and shop for new stuff legally and me personally I don't actually own any gamecube games right now. So everything I would be doing is completely illegal That's true. I would be downloading rob's illegally and playing it illegally like I that's right That's just that it'd be different if I owned even if I the thing is though Even if I owned a whole bunch of gamecube games, I'd have a gamecube and I would just play that in place So I I wouldn't need to I mean obviously there's the on the go aspect But you can actually because it's mini discs. There's actually portable fan made gamecubes. You can just buy Yeah Pretty sweet I actually like the n64 portable one's even better Just just the fact you're sticking this fat old cartridge in a portable. I'm like, yeah I have this thing called the retro duo portable. Yes It's a portable super nintendo But what's even better is that they make multiple adapters for this thing So if it wasn't ridiculous enough to stick a super nintendo cartridge in a portable You can any s adapter and then there's this big adapter and then an nes cartridge sticking out of the adapter That's so old school because Can you get a genesis adapter and then get a 32x adapter and then get a No, no, that's going too far. That's that's having to improve the I don't think you can do that What I do do is I get a genesis adapter and then I get the master system adapter and then the master system cartridge That thing's wobbling all over the place, but it works That's awesome. Oh my gosh Uh, let me see if I scroll down if there's any other questions that were from a while ago Um Sure, there's some new questions as well. I'm just kind of scrolling through Right and some of them are questions amongst each other got a sort through find the stuff for us Uh, like the one question that Everett asked was asked answered by the chat. So I don't know how to do that one um What do you guys think about that announcement that there is uh an exploit That to the switch now that they said that nintendo cannot patch out There's no way to prevent that. Yeah, I think that's what he's alluded into that the hack thing Right because it's a it's a a flaw in the tagger chip Yeah, it's a flaw that's been known about for a long time Because chips have been out since 2015 um You know, they didn't know that it would also exist in switch because It's right pins and they could just change it, but they never did right But the pmsp was super popular in part because it was such an awesome emulation machine Could we see that sort of homebrew crowd doing the same for switch? No, no because psp wasn't $300 Yeah, and nintendo's already releasing the t214 chip to um combat it So only the launch systems through first year are going to have it Only 17 million people have But what happens with these launch systems they become like Super valuable like you can sell them like a thousand two thousand dollars to people who do want to hack Yeah, get it It's like upwards compatible ps3 You know that actually happened with 360s when those first started getting hacked a lot of the early 360 models Like those are even to this day because you can hack it and put like just all of the emulators on there But the newer ones and the elites and all this stuff you couldn't um Let me sit here We have one from gu king heart He says have you heard the rumor slash leak that this e3 will be smash and pokemon themed There is a thread on reset era Yeah, I heard that well, I have actually I think makes a lot of sense Yeah, it's the pokemon theme Like if they just did pokemon That would be a crazy e3 boot Pokemon has some some some interesting art direction Um, so but of course people want to play smash. So that would be stupid So so gu king of heart. This is buddy. He asked me a question about a thing that he's the source for Oh my god He said do you hear about this thing on reset era? I go to reset. Oh, he's the source all reset air And it says this popped up from the smash world switch discussion topic on smash words A guy on youtube by the name of gu king of heart He's going through a heart from the source. Why so what why would if you're the source Why would you just tell me? He's trying to start a rumor Yeah, like you're you're actually one of our long time fans, man. If you have some info, why weren't you Yeah, you know to me either passing the info or we should move on because he's making it all up Yeah, her from a source that was e3 busby smash pokemon theme the video. Um, Is down is unavailable that originally was was put in there So gu king of heart and since you're considered the source um, you better uh a master of high rule apparently Is is talking as well. I know what that is too I know you people get a hold of me and show me your proof and then we'll see if we're talking right Nate needs your contacts if this is real well like g king heart can get a hold of me at discord So it's like get a hold of me show you show me your proof You know, i'm going to keep you safe and keep the people safe if it's legit And then we'll have a conversation about it until then. I ain't got that about it And you'll post an article on his website Did you guys know That nintendo's e3 booth is one fifth pigmen themed I did hear that it confirmed my inside my inside source man Me too and I heard that my inside source might be somewhat connected to somebody that was related to someone that works at nintendo So it's pretty reliable I'm juking heart. I'm so sorry. It's like you're legit Um Let me see here. Uh, we do have a question from second uh, sacan 10 Is it profitable for nintendo to revive a dead franchise? Depends on what kid it could be this uprising To I mean, I don't know if it's like completely revived, but it sold pretty well for Well, there's a lot of franchises that have died that were profitable even like when they died Yeah, like metroid f zero Yeah, exactly like f zero was selling very well and they're like, yeah, we're just gonna mario kind of now What is it? Yeah, I don't know if f zero was selling very very well. Well, no, like, okay. It wasn't mario Right, but if you look at the sales of the series, it was consistent. Like yeah But if you made all these f zero games, why would you just stop? You know what you're gonna get? You're still making kirby That's also can't it's also about zeros. There are excuses. We need we need a unique idea to keep that zero going This is this is what this is the conclusion we came to can kirby Until you can come up with a unique idea for that Where's the unique kirby ideas nintendo, right? They put them in a robot. What more do you want? I mean come on Um, ever nord says I use the question for a j And nate 42. Oh and oh and i'm five j Sorry, thanks for lying and adding that in there after. Well, no, no I always think final fantasy, but i'm like, oh wait Okay I know I know but I think he because he's listening to real lessons only three of us here So i'm assuming he met five j Would you oh, yeah, we he already. Oh, yeah, who's re asking that question? Uh, I don't mind those are just re answered Those are the ones from before um Just done some foxes do those of us in europe have anything to worry about with satura shabbat's promotion Oh, yeah, lay enough groundwork. Yeah, because we didn't talk. We only talked about the one with the one promotion There's like two more of them as well. Um Or did he lay enough groundwork for the tenor of europe not to go back down the toilet when he leaves Man, yeah, the tenor of europe was not in a good place before shabbat Um You know the thing is I don't know because it's gonna depend on who they replace him with right now. There's no announcements Well, he didn't leave the company. So yeah, he has yeah, he has concern for europe, right? He's like, you know, I built this up. He has concern for europe and he's now going to be the third most powerful man at Nintendo right so They're gonna make sure he personally will make sure that it's not going to slide down into oblivion because he left Yeah, maybe that's why like Maybe that's why they haven't announced anyone because he's still going to kind of sort of be running it for a little bit Is like, I don't know if I trust anyone yet to take it over. So i'm going to keep running it until I pick my guy So are all these things he's going through in july or just the president june june 28th is when any Change can be made because that's when the the general Meeting of the investors that that's where they do the voting every year because technically even though nintendo picks people Uh, it doesn't matter unless the the Everyone votes now But they have yet to elect anyone who's never who hasn't gotten the vote. So basically people vote where they point their finger to vote I say give them one option. The only other option would be no, we're gonna keep the current president Right and we all vote for mario to be Look at jiu-king hearty's boasting. I reached the no yesterday. That doesn't legitimize you Right, but the no is an awesome youtube channel. It's like, yeah, the right people pick up your rumor. It doesn't make it legit It also can be their trolley if your rumor sounds interesting Yeah, the troopers are going to pick that up. It's not the fortnite rumor. Like is it legit? Nobody knows people just want fortnite. So we're gonna talk about it. Yeah, we know people want fortnite It's going to get the clicks. I mean, I know people want I heard that gta 5 is coming to switch Boom light up the I said that Before you before I report on it or have a serious conversation. I need to see some real evidence beyond Hey, this guy I know who follows my youtube channel said this right exactly Um, at least that's what you pointed me to a recent error thread that referenced yourself, which Doesn't legitimize it. He was hoping you would notice that part I don't just say hey, did you hear recent error said no, no, no, no I look into where the rumor comes from It happens. How dare you how dare you? Let's see here. I'm scrolling down. Uh Gamer god wannabe. What's the meaning of life the universe and everything? Uh Nintendo waffles Waffles I went with the gamer route. I'm going bacon. Were you saying ever vegans out there vegan bacon? You're saying gamers don't like waffles I'm saying Nintendo You're seeing Nintendo don't like waffles No, I was I like a good belgium waffle. This is blast blast for me I don't know. I I sat at a hotel with my kids a couple weeks back and I and I had some waffles next day at a waffle maker I don't like waffles. I just prefer something with more flavor You can't you can't blame waffles because you're over here getting trash waffles, all right There's some high quality content and the waffle community. All right Inside the waffle is it what they put on the waffle both both both fans I know there's crazy stuff. I've seen crazy stuff on top. And you know, you know, you know, it's the the top The top feature of being a waffle On top of the waffle eventually becomes inside the waffle Stuffed waffle the stuffed waffle It has it has pockets Speaking of stuffed waffles. Did you guys ever eat waffles from ego? Yes Wasn't that stuff amazing? Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I loved it Cheap axed. Yeah. I'm just toast 11. You just grab in the morning without any effort. Yeah, exactly Um, it's kind of like toaster strudels right like they're all right like if you're in a hurry when you're younger Like who cares? Yeah, but egos are way better in toaster strudels. Let go my ego um, let me see second tense is Do you know about the new mobile game does nintendo own that ip? Yeah, they're Nintendo made a partnership With another company to bring out a game. I don't They don't own the company they partner with so it's probably one of those situations that has nintendo ever like um Done something like that. We're like, hey, uh, here's this new Developer or whatever Here's this ip that is new and then they don't own the ip because doesn't nintendo own wonderful 101 And like stuff like that. It's co-owned rights. It's cool. Oh, okay Yeah, and the funny thing with co-owned rights like that. It's it's like they co-owned the rights of bayonetta 2 and bayonetta 3 Right, uh, but saga still owns rights to the whole franchise So they still have to say and then platinum so to say so it's one of those things where unless all three agree Nothing can happen. It actually complicates things more. Yeah, it's like it's like the pokemon company Nintendo owns like significant rights to the pokemon franchise, but they're not the only ones Right. So that's why they put out random mobile games But they have they have exclusive rights to the to the mainline series, but that's because nintendo won't approve in general Like nintendo nintendo total pokemon company It's fine make your own mobile games do whatever But they also said but your mainline games are always going to be on our system If nintendo would say you could put them on any system game for it's gonna do that They're gonna put it everywhere, right, um, but nintendo's like, no, no, no We're using our stake in the rights to say this is us. No, you don't take it from us Um, so that that's kind of the it is obviously in our partnership. It's worked out well for everyone involved So, uh, but yeah nintendo, you know golf story is an example golf story can't go anywhere else But nintendo is not the only one that owns the reds. They could okay that company to release another platform Wasn't golf story also released on pc? I thought that that was also came to pc Nope 100 switch exclusive nintendo funded the whole game Funny that they funded the whole game But yeah, they funded the entire game. They gave them $400 and was like 400 $400 5j is trying to call me on it right now. I see him desperately looking out I just I remember like things I heard a while back, right? And I'm just like I might The very first time a whiff of it was out there It might have been like an initially announced for pc before nintendo got involved That could be what i'm thinking of it might be it might be like a rocket league situation Where before rocket league was rocket league. It had this long ass complicated name that I don't care to uh, Yeah Maybe it was something along the lines of that where it's like instead of golf story. It was like a golf tale At least on steam Yeah, it's very least. It's definitely not on any platform. It's right now for sure It's angel fox. Give me a good fry up any day. There you go Some fried waffles why not? yo I've had a fried waffle before I got it. That was pretty good Uh I think like fried just makes everything better for me. I don't know. Where's the last time? Have you seen how fat I am? When's the last time you saw a french toast cone? All right. All right You find me a french toast cold fresh cold Right Minnesota state fair every year my wife and I have to get a fudge puppy Which is a belgian waffle deep fried on a stick covered in chocolate whipped cream on top amazing There's so many things on sticks at fairs. There you go Fried things. That was a waffle Here is your french toast cone Ice cream cones made out of french toast bread boom. Oh sounds good. It actually looks really good too Just saying I know the waffle cones. I mean you got the And you got the Cones are the most common code is iconic Oh my god, what are you doing google? I don't know how to make actually I could just send you to the google video the tiny big ice cream cones on Out of bread ice cream cones on a french toast bread I mean it's all bread products so it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. No, bless me. Bless me. Bless me I mean you are talking iconic. There's places. Okay. I have been Believe it or not. I've talked to people in the u.s. I don't even know what a waffle cone is the only cone they know are those little dixie whatever I don't even know if those are called those little cheap They might they might not know what it's called But that no one does anybody know what that little cheap apps cone is called I think I'll like sugar cones or something like that. Is that what they're called? I don't even know Maybe it's actually called an ice cream cone. You know, I You know why I don't know it's the same reason. I don't know what other companies Adhesive strips are called because bandaid one. All right bandaid one waffle cone one And won the race because waffle is the superior of bread amalgamation It's not actually it doesn't taste like waffle Just throwing that out there. I think it's the batter get out of here. Get out of here with that That's propaganda. Is that a cake cone? What is that? I I'm really mad now What are the name of those dang cones? They're everywhere and I don't know what they're called Matter because it's not a waffle. Yeah, they're cake. It's a cake cone Tend to be called a cake that confirms that the trash because cake is a worse version of pie All right, I found kebler brand sugar cones and that Yeah, but okay But what cones aren't sugar cones if you don't got sugar in your oh, no, you're right and I'm looking Oh, you're so like the ones from dairy queen Those are the cake cones the ones that look like waffle cones, but aren't actually waffle cones. Those are sugar cones Yeah, there's real waffle cones and there's the real and the waffle bowls Okay You see The disgusting cone that nobody likes. It's called a cake cone Yep, that's it. There's just too airy. That's all it is. If it wasn't so airy Cake would be trash without frosting. Nobody wants that get out of here Pal cake get out of here. Yeah depends Cake dairy queen ice cream cake is pretty legit. See that's that's see that's That's the one thing ice cream cake, but how much cake is ice cream cake? zero It's like 10% they all have sugar Oh By the way I'm waiting for more questions guys. Yeah, I had a viewer in my uh discord that was like, oh great I have so many questions. Where are you bud? Wait, we ran out of questions a little bit ago So just just kind of biding our time to debating waffle cones cake cone actual cake. We haven't gotten the Topic I don't know what you're talking about. Um pie is the superior uh And Cheesecake is pie. It's pie. It's pie. I don't care what anybody says cheesecake is pie What it's called cheesecake Uh No, I I think I do disagree on that one because a pie typically has a crust on the side, you know holding in the pie contents But but not I guess some cheesecakes do has It's it's a it's a pie. It's a pie period. I think it's a hybrid And pumpkin pie is a pie Fox fry up bacon fried or scrambled eggs sausage baked beans toast or fried bread fried tomato fried mushrooms Black pudding hash brown some of these are optional. That's a proper breakfast. That's a heart attack Delicious But oh if pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie is pie Cheesecake is pie. Yeah, so we got we got about 10 minutes left you guys I gotta say don't particularly care because it's just delicious and that's all it matters Right. I care. I care because we're not going to associate cheesecake with cake because cake is trash Also, some people tell me that uh pumpkin pie doesn't count because it's a vegetable. I'm like, what? It's a delicious vegetable. Thank you very much. Nothing's a vegetable. And what about everything? Everything's a fruit What about a meat pie? I hate meat pies meat pie Meat pie is is meat. This is meat. What about a calzone? Is that a pizza pie like a literal pizza pie? I'd be fine if that's a pie. It's calzone calzone, you know, that's good for the brain Funny how how we're deciding it based on like, what do we like and what do we enjoy versus what What legit should be called it? Um, I legit think that oh, you have a real question. It looks like here Uh, because then Jeff Fox chibed it said, uh, do you want more creative tools like they recently announced? And I think it's come out by now the korg gadget music composition tool Yeah, if this if the switch limitations don't stop me from upload um Well, I mean the funny thing is labo already has a way to do some of that stuff Yeah, they're labo garage. It's literally a creation tool. That's right. It's true What if you use the labo piano on the korg application? That would be crazy using both worlds there, but then it's trapped on there because he said you can't export your stuff I gotta find it. There was a But not youtube video I gotta find the video the guy was playing for nintendo labo Pianos at the same time and like creating his own like music and it sounded sick as hell He was playing with his feet and with his hands. I'm like, what is happening And I'm like first up you bought four switches and four four variety labo kids. Yeah Because you have to have the software every switch But Man, I gotta find that video. That's that was a crazy video. But again, that's not you That's just someone being creative. That's not necessarily right the software But uh, yeah, like I would love to have more um More creative tools like that and I think more more will come I mean it's a tablet right so any creative tool that could already be done on a tablet could probably be done on Switch technically. Yeah, it's just a matter of where they think switches audiences like there are schools that are not contacting nintendo About potentially getting labo in certain school systems So as soon as you start penetrating the school area now you can think of a whole slew of creative apps for that I mean they were using ds's in in libraries you talked about before So it's like If they're gonna have switches in schools Then you could create a whole bunch of creativity apps around that Heck you can arguably start putting classes on the dang thing if you want You know, hey do your math homework on the switch during class somebody open a labo arcade Labo arcade all of the arcade Are made out of cardboard make it happen So corg had an application on 3ds. Yes, and yes, right. So I mean those could you export could you export stuff from those or were they locked on 3ds? I think you could Whether or not you could or you were supposed to people did it Oh, so more of uh Because they're saying because It's i'm more mocking them because they're saying that it's incapable There's a there's a technical thing that's preventing them from being able to export Right. Yeah, and then second 10 is asking what happened to konami and capcom Uh capcom is uh Uh I don't know what's going on with them. They're just like hardly hanging on I don't know if they're like passed out in a gutter somewhere and they're like Oh, here's a street fighter have a New financial report for the fiscal year and I couldn't find it. I'm like, I You know, it's okay if they don't post it publicly. That's fine. You don't have to do that You only only your stockholders have to see it, but it's still one of those I don't I mean because they have all these all the cool mega man announcements. Like that looked okay great For so long. Um, but I keep wondering like is that all they have is like, oh wait, this is uh monster hunter capcom Yes, yes. Yes one of the biggest games. Yeah, wait. Well, they're not barely holding like you guys Yeah, I forgot about But like konami's the one that konami is konami. It's a lot more prosperous than people want to know They're not barely holding on they're just Not holding on in the way we want them to Yeah, exactly. That's what it is being a video game creator. They're like no We're we're holding on because we own half of the machines in every casino. Yeah When they're literally like I go to the casino once in a while and literally half the machines are konami When when konami was doing everybody wanted them to do They were losing money on the thing that people wanted them to do. Kojima's like, let's make it an 100 million dollar game Let's do a silent hill. It's a hundred mil Yeah, it's gonna sell three million copies, but let's just dump 400 million dollars into its production But also even when in the late days of konami, they still weren't holding up to the standard They'd laid down in the early days, which was pumping out as many games as possible Like the nintendo would literally let them do and all of them somehow ended up being awesome games with Really sweet music in particular. Yeah, they didn't have that reputation anymore They were famous for a few series that they kept going I feel like it was a lot more lucrative for them back then Because games were more expensive. There was less competition And they had that relationship with the the big dog in town So it's like a lot of the game cells were going to them, you know It's I mean, you know at first people talked about, you know, with the change of the president's stuff in nintendo You went from like a gamer centric one to a money centric one And I'm like, you know what? I don't think that's any of that's necessarily true per se like all companies care about money But I mean if nintendo only cared about money, they would just be like a Multi-platform developer and make a shitload of mobile games all the time Yeah, I mean because like you think like look at good pokemon go They will imagine that every pokemon game could just be a mobile game like that's bank And the siren on heroes is doing really well probably Yeah, but Game, you know You look at Konami Konami's like look we're starting to see profit loss as games get more expensive And we're out we made a pachinko machine and like three pachinko machines make what one game makes and it cost us Pennies to make the pachinko machine We're just going to keep doing that and we're just going to theme our pachinko machines around the games that people know I love right because that matters more Yep He hadn't out now because I know Ali's awake I say it's really Watching a movie. Oh you just got home Oh, okay. Well, I'm almost died three minutes All right. Well You guys here I was going to call mass It's okay. We we get a little glimpse into your personal life. That's the way we're going. It's endearing Um, I guess we are in the final three minutes. Uh, why don't we give you guys a some shout outs here? Um I get the old youtube channel spun up here. Oh, that's not a youtube channel That is not what I wanted All right So if you guys we go, uh, you know, how about as I as I'm linking these up I'm about to link finetics for here a j I want you to tell people a little bit of what your channel does for any of you or to don't I make video essays about nintendo and how much they need to change their video games This week I made a video about uh game cube re masters that I want to come to switch And also how virtual console is not a thing Nice so You want to watch that like comment subscribe Subscribe there you go.
