 Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime and I got to talk about this thing that I see yesterday we talked about how Zack from SwitchForce came out and basically said through his own source that he has a 99.9% certainty that a Nintendo Direct will come next week and he talked about how maybe there were hints throughout his video on what the day might be. The hints were sort of inconsistent 14, 15, 16, okay whatever we kind of figured we're getting a Direct in June anyways and whatever like we get Directs every June except in 2020 and they usually happen you know the second or third Tuesday of the month but that's always been based around E3 so who really knows right but getting a Direct in June is a pretty safe bet. Here's the thing here's here here's the big hullabaloo here a content creator probably not too similar to myself went out on gaming leaks uh and uh was it gaming leaks and rumors reddit and posted actual evidence on the exact Nintendo Direct date now I think calling it the exact dates still may be pushing it too far however uh it doesn't really matter how this person leaked that we are getting a Nintendo Direct next week which is the big news here this is a leak we can basically say we are getting a Nintendo Direct next week this guy has ruined his career and hopefully you know I this is it's one this is a really baffling situation this reminds me of when people like what is it Philip Musin was giving us content creators a bad name this person's not necessarily giving me a bad name because I don't know who it is but the fact that as a content creator just makes content creators less trustworthy let's just get into what was said but before we do I'm going to remind you that this video is sponsored by hey folks I'm here to tell you about today's sponsor Ridge Wallet now look uh there's a lot of ways that you could show off a Ridge Wallet right I've seen a lot of b-roll on a lot of channels uh I see a lot of things like I don't know maybe you know showing how durable it is and running it over with a car uh but you know I actually am choosing to go a more practical route because they wanted to sponsor a video because they are you know trying to promote father's day promotions right you can get 15% off with the code Nintendo Prime out through the link down in the description but here's the thing I actually am a father a father of three and I'm used to using extremely bulky wallets I really had no idea I was actually going to use this product when it sent to me I thought I was just going to do this little ad spot and call it a day but here's the thing uh I've had this Ridge Wallet now for I don't know about a week and let's just say I absolutely love it so right now I've got about uh you know six cards or so in here and they kind of you know they kind of fan out like this looking looking all looking all nice and all but the thing is uh what I like about it is actually how easy it is because I don't actually use it has a notch here to push out your cards and fan them but that's actually not how I use this while there's a couple ways I use it one I use this money clip on the back with the little ridge logo here right so I got a couple bucks in here I also have some non-essential cards in here you guys will see you know I'm a gamer I guess GameStop matters or something and I got like a quick trip gas card in here as well but these are like non-critical cards that's why I don't mind them being on the outside uh they're just there for quick convenience sake or not I actually want to use the wallet I use a fan technique and not the thumb press I actually go like this and then I can kind of thumb through my cards like this and pull it out like oh yeah let's let's pull out this one well I'm not going to pull all the way out I don't want you to see my my card information because these are actual credit cards and bank cards I have in here this wallet has actually changed my life I honestly didn't think that I would care but one issue I've always had with the big bulky wallets is when I put them in my back pocket it just hurts when I put this in my back pocket I can't I I mean it's like a minor inconvenience also when I stick it in my front pocket uh look at it compared to my phone it's a little bit thicker than my phone with my cards in it can like hold up the 12 cards but like look at the size difference if it's in my front pocket I sometimes forget I even have an Ami maybe that's a good thing or a bad thing for me I find it to be a good thing because basically that means I always have my wallet on me without me realizing it so yeah this is one of their ones uh I forget which one they call this I think it's like the blue Damascus or something like that they're not cheap but if you think about it reliable wallets never are I was using a breath of the wild full leather wallet the last five years that completely had fallen apart and I spent $250 on that wallet this one I believe runs about 150 so uh yeah that's uh that's pretty cool so you know what why don't you go ahead and check out Ridge Wallet down below you know get it as a father's day present or maybe you just want to buy it for yourself get you use that 15% off code now through Father's Day and uh yeah you know Ridge Wallet baby thanks for sponsoring all right so let's get into an archive of this that exists on archive.ph and let's just read this it says hello I received an email from a developer recently I'm a content creator and there's the part where kind of brings all this content creators into the fray for trustworthiness with these uh video game companies asking me if I was interested in a code for a Nintendo game that launches next week on switch which I personally wasn't but the game will be exciting for some action fans usually when this happens the publisher will ask me to sign an NDA before sharing any info at all I can email like this as well I don't know that this person understands what relationships are like with with developers the NDA anyways sorry we'll talk about this later I'm really frustrated by this whole situation so including even what the game is well of course you know yeah oddly enough they did not do that this time or ask me not to share this information it's a common courtesy uh at all so it's all fair game okay uh that said out of respect for their surprise I'm gonna make a thread I'm read it about it well just kidding I will not say what the gamer developer is with that out of the way the game is going to drop on switch next Wednesday which is it we'll get into why I actually think the whole Wednesday thing from this particular email is wrong but moving on says uh drop on switch next Wednesday with the embargo for coverage also being on Wednesday June 15th it's going to be one of the shadow drops during the Nintendo Direct since the embargo is set for specifically 9 a.m. Pacific I presume that's when the next Nintendo Direct will happen 9 a.m. Pacific on Wednesday June 15th which is a common time for Nintendo to do directs as a side note this lines up with some of the other developers that I did sign NDAs for sent to me so now we're bringing other developers into the fray that you signed NDAs for that you're not even supposed to talk about dates with and now you're saying hey other developers you shouldn't mention that but that's what hyped to watch with you guys next week oh he's not done though because he edited the post and he said screw it I'm bored tonight so here's an edited screenshot sorry only the mods will know what the game is and the mods did see the full email uh and confirmed that this was legit um and his email he blacked out some parts pretty poorly he clearly did this on an iPhone or some uh mobile editing app it didn't realize that he didn't fully black out the text uh this is going to come into play later uh also I take this as a rumor originally since I cannot confirm this for you guys but it's all but confirmed to me due to some stuff I signed NDAs for that line up to again repeating and repeating that he has you know if he's got one developer developer thing that's been proven uh to be real the rest are probably real as well which means he's just telling us when the director is going to be based on things he already signed NDAs for that he's not even supposed to talk about and people aren't even supposed to know okay if it helps any as I mentioned in the comment below the switch console exclusive was originally announced in a direct we actually know what the console exclusive is because of his stupidity finally I'm surprised no one uh was wondering why I think the director's Wednesday but not Thursday well that's because some other info I didn't share that here plus the fact that I believe but don't know since I didn't get a code that they set the gameplay so I was video embargo for Thursday morning since the game will likely come out at a different times throughout Wednesday probably especially for steam players it's also possible the game just comes out the next day so coverage can you know you can get reviews and other coverage in on the 15th and they released the game on the 16th that's also a possibility uh and what's interesting here is I showed you the image that he showed and I showed you how poorly he blacked it out you can just up the contrast and we could see basically the entire email and we found out that this is an email for neon white and it's been confirmed that it is for neon white which is a game that was unveiled during a Nintendo Direct and is an action game so it look look it's one thing that to say out of respect for the developers you don't make this post but this person it is being an idiot on many levels look I don't have an email for neon white I don't have an email for anything being unveiled next week okay I don't have any contacts or anything being unveiled next week there's like one game I know about that's coming out here uh in the next few days uh but it's whatever that game's publicly known and we already have a release date for it so it's not that big of a deal and I'm in contact with the developers on it but here's the thing I've been talking to game developers for 20 years right this goes back to my Zeldin former days I was talking directly to Nintendo I talked to the people behind Epic Mickey I've been talking to people at Capcom and all these other companies I've been talking to companies for 20 years and I can tell you right now when they email your publicly available business contact email business contact emails are for business related items not intended for the public I get probably I don't know let's say a dozen companies contacting me per week wanting me to check out their game whether it's indie all the way up to the big boys at Ubisoft and Capcom Nintendo every once in a while like I'll get emails from these companies every single week asking me to look at things do I want to review copy of this do you know just remember that like hey you know we don't want any footage or anything I'll only play up to a certain part you can only show 15 minutes here 10 minutes there no cut scenes or whatever whatever embargoes they want to throw on but the common courtesy when they reach out to you with that initial email will sometimes include the name of the game it will sometimes include some of the embargo details before you even agree to the embargo this is industry standard practice because this is a business email you need to take business emails the email account you have listed publicly for business contact to be of private nature you are not to unveil details that are within your emails in this private nature without express permission them not locking you into an embargo before they tell you what the game is is not the same thing in fact most of the embargoes I have ever been part of I knew what it was for and I knew when they were planning to have the coverage up before I ever agreed to a damn thing it's industry standard practice you don't you just don't do this it's stupid and it makes content creators look unreliable and silly and look no one has figured out who this content creator is yet so credit to them whatever this account is they use on reddit has not been able to be linked back to a specific youtuber yet but this is the internet and that's only a matter of time before somebody figures out who this content creator actually is in fact maybe at the time of posting this somebody actually has figured it out but the point is that we don't talk about these things for a reason it's out of respect of a business conversation happening behind the scenes if they want it to be known publicly they would just reach out to you on twitter and say something in public when they reach out to private business emails the information is intended to be private so to even share this even part of the email to even want to go to reddit is just saying hey guess what I am no longer trustworthy and you know how much you can narrow this down you can be oh they're talking about a nintendo direct oh they have multiple companies talking about things next week kind of giving me a feeling of when the direct date's going to be okay so now we can narrow this out this is a nintendo content creator and we can narrow it down even further because the nintendo content creator they got an email about neon white so you can go nintendo content creators specifically neon white dig through there they could figure out who the hell this is and they're going to get blacklisted by the industry they're going to get blacklisted by the industry and they're also going to hurt content creators like me that don't unveil this stuff don't release these you know exclusive details they're gonna kind of great like me and disable my ability to be able to get my hands on games and my ability to do preview coverage in the future that's how stupid this is they hurt the entire content creator community specifically nintendo content creators you know how hard it is to build trustworthy relationships especially at my size 78 000 subscribers you know how hard it is to build trust with companies when they're going out on a limb to trust that you're not going to be one of those assholes that's going to leak information about their products to the public and that's why it's incredibly frustrating i've been fortunate that i could build some solid relationships this is one reason why prime gaming fest ends up as big as it is it's not just about the entertaining aspects of the nate vs eric and our tournaments and all the game reveals all the fun stuff we do the reason that we're able to give away so much stuff so much more than i can personally afford to give away is because of relationships i've been able to foster with different companies conversations with ubisoft capcom you know you know how many conversations i have with capcom before they would trust to be able to support our show and and give us some stuff to give away to you guys you know the kind of conversations that i have behind the scenes with all of these companies in order to build up a a long-standing relationship so they understand not only what we're doing and what we're not only what this channel is about but also understand that i'm not going to be that guy that's going to throw your information out there about unreleased products i know information right now about games that are coming out later this year that haven't been a haven't even been unveiled yet and you guys have never heard me one time on a live stream make a reference and a video make a reference to any of these games or what platforms they're on and you might go he's a nintendo youtuber must be nintendo not necessarily i know about games coming to multiple platforms coming later this year haven't said one god damn word about it because i know better i'm not nate the hate hiding behind a username i'm not you know emily rogers throwing throwing throwing two cents of that i'm not samus hunter i'm not some random user on reddit here i'm nathaniel rumpel jance i'm very much in front of the public my full name is out there i'm not about to leak information at least information like this i'm not saying that i can't ever share details sometimes and use my sources for that but these aren't sources these are the companies themselves talking directly to me i'm not going to sit here and tell you anything i've heard ever because that's how you build trust that's how you eventually end up being sent early games early copies of games so i can do better coverage of games for you guys want to be great because of the relationship i'm establishing with ubisoft that i can get a copy of sparks of hope and actually do a pre-release coverage i think that would be amazing i think that would be awesome and i think you guys would love that content but i can't do that when content creators like this are making these companies less and less and less trusting it's incredibly frustrating and this guy did it in the stupidest way it's one thing if they wanted to use some random reddit they would just claim they knew when the direct was and make these random claims or throw them on the twitter and leave it at that but to provide the evidence and then to do such a poor job of censoring that evidence it's amateur hour man it's amateur hour we all make mistakes but he kept pressing he kept answering questions in the comment section on this post and yeah he's now deleted the original post after it's been up for over a day the internet never forgets so look there's a lot of things i want to talk about there's a whole bunch of stories out there a lot of these stories will end up talking about during prime gaming fest june 9th to june 14th but it is frustrating that we're here two days in a row time on nintendo direct rumors leaks whatever and this time around it's a pretty legit leak confirmed leak by the way if you stuck around this long you actually want to know the date it's june 15th june 15th supposedly june 15th sorry if i wasted a bunch of your time and that's all you were here for but hey you know i needed to get that off my chest all right guys thanks so much for tuning in i am a tinder of a jess from nintendo prime and uh let's do better content creators if you're fortunate uh to be getting contacted by multiple companies around in nintendo direct time do better keep it to yourself catch you guys in the next video
