 Hey everyone welcome to another edition of Nate's Stuff and it's gonna be kind of a short one I think. We've got a couple Christmas cards here, belated Christmas cards. These cards were actually here before Christmas and this package has a little story behind it. It comes all the way from a fan of ours in Australia but let's start with the cards. Now I'm not gonna lie, I've already looked at them but I haven't read them. I got impatient, okay? These have been sitting here for a couple weeks, all right? So the first one, oh look at that Season's Greetings. It's one of those National Geographic cards with a polar bear. Now what does it say? Nate, oh sorry, what does it say? Wishing you all of the Christmas merryment you can bear and that's of course a B-E-A-R. It says Nate, I love your content and I really appreciate you making so many videos for us all to watch and enjoy. I just wanted to wish you and your family a merry Christmas. I hope you all have a great holiday and it comes from Kelly aka Aerial Lazarus. Well thank you so much Kelly Aerial Lazarus, recognize that username from our live streams. Thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate the sentiment here. I mean the fact that anyone even wants to send me letters or Christmas cards is astounding. In fact if you want to send me some letters, some cards, some packages and stuff, I don't know why you want to send me stuff but if you do, I do have a PO box. It's down in the description. It is PO box 696 Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. You could just put Nintendo Prime as the person to send it to. All right, next up, this one was actually taped shut so I really did a number on this one. It's a little beat-up too. Post office, do better. A little snowman on the front. It's one of those Hallmark cards, Season's Greetings it says. Oh, a little note. Let's read the card for it. It says, wishing you a magical and memorable Christmas. Thank you for all the great content you create on YouTube. Here's to another great year for Nintendo fans. You're grateful, patron Nick, one of our patrons. Well thanks so much Nick. That's a very thoughtful card. Let's see Ho Nick, front and back? I apologize. I gotta read this off to you guys. It says dear Nate, I just wanted to take the time this Christmas to show my appreciation for you and your channel. I have been watching your channel since last year during the height of the switch craze and the first video I saw of yours was the one about what if the Wii U had released, what if the Wii U had released in 2010 as the Wii HD. Oh man, I remember that video. It's still one of my favorite videos I've done. I thought it was a great concept for a video and I think the quality of that video has carried into all of the videos, podcasts and content that you make. Well thanks man. You always articulate your points very clearly and defend your arguments very well. I don't know about that but I'm glad I come off that way. It was a little hard to watch that debate you did with player essence because you were so right and he was so out of touch. He made his points. We were coming from two different sides of things and he was right in much of like the argument he was making was correct but it didn't address my argument at all. That happens in debates sometimes. Let's see here. It says I don't always agree with you. Who does? I don't always agree with myself. But I was with you 100% on how Nintendo could become like EA if they're not careful. EA itself used to be a great company that made quality games. They still make some quality games. Let's be real. The reason they're so popular is because they make some quality games and now look at them. Anyways, I hope your channel continues to grow and that Nintendo Prime becomes a household name among Nintendo fans. That would be pretty cool. I decided to become a patron of yours because you have a smaller channel and I believe you can... Sorry, I'm trying to read this handwriting. Handwritten letters are like so touching but also I have to read the handwriting. I believe you can one day become one of the biggest and trusted Nintendo channels. Also, I think it's great that you're as big of a Zelda fan as I am if not bigger. Although I admit that I never visited Zelda Informer back in the day. You visited Zelda Universe. I used to actually be in the Zelda Universe podcast way back in the day. I was their news guy. I did a new segment on that podcast. It was fun while it lasted. Sorry, LOL. Anyway, I want to close by thanking you once again for maintaining a quality YouTube channel. I hope that you can continue to make it your livelihood so that you can continue to pour your heart and soul into making the channel reach ever greater heights. But just know that I don't appreciate you for how many subs and views you have. I appreciate you for the quality of your content. You should be very proud of your channel, Nate. And I hope you know how much we as viewers appreciate the great work you do at Nintendo Prime. I wish a happy and healthy Christmas for you and your family and Eric too. Eric, I'll have to let him let him know about this one. See you in the next video, Nate. Sincerely, Nick. Well, man, that that dude, this means a lot to me. This is I'm... This letter is not going anywhere. In fact, neither one of these cards are. These are going to be, I don't know, maybe they'll become background in Prime News videos eventually. The cards at least. I won't put the letters up. But I, dude, I appreciate that so much. Thank you so much for being a patron, by the way. Patreon is a big thing that helps us do what we do. We just crossed the $300 threshold on there. So now we do game reviews every month. You know, next up's the $400 threshold. If you guys out there are watching and would like to support me like that, patreon.com, session 10 or Prime, I'm not going to advertise it much more than that. You can go check out the tiers and the stretch goals and all that. But thank you so much, man. I'm glad that you feel that I make such high quality content. I always say I am my own harshest critic. So I don't think my content's really that great. I don't know if I'll ever reach a point where I think my content's great. And sometimes it hurts when I do think I have an okay piece of content, then it only gets like 10 views. But, you know, every one of those 10 views, obviously enjoy it. So I'm really happy that you're enjoying my stuff and that you think so highly of me. Because I don't think that highly of me. So it's interesting. All right. This package here, oh boy, does this package have a story? This package was sent by one of our fans from Australia named James. I'm not gonna say his last name obviously. And $50 Australian to send this internationally. And it was sent twice. I don't know if he had to pay again. He sent it because my P.O. Box had an issue when it arrived. So my local post office sent it back to Australia. So I really hope he didn't have to pay postage again because that's $100 and postage he would have paid. But yeah, I, so this is here like a monthly, this is the reason those cards and stuff wasn't open sooner. This is supposed to be here before Christmas. I guess I can leave that on there just so I know who it's from and if I ever want to hit them back with something. It's got some stuff listed on here that I don't understand. Pamphlets, postcard. I don't, I don't get that amiibo video game. And a card, 1x. And some valuations. Apparently this whole package is worth 125 bucks. So I already ripped off the tape initially because I wanted to make sure nothing broke. So I opened it. You never know what international packages. It doesn't appear like anything but broke. So let's dump this. I don't even know what's happening. This package is like, what even is all this? There's like these amiibo things and like this poke, gotta catch them all. Rules for the TCG? All right, let's um, there's some some letters here. So there's this toonate. I'm gonna wait on that. What's this? Okay, there's a letter. It says safe to open spoilers. Okay, safe to open spoilers inside toonate. All right, I'm guessing the amiibo must be duck on and he sent me the uh the the art for it. Okay, let's let's get to the letter. He wrote a letter and I checked with him by the way. Um, I've been conversing with him and man I'm so sorry about that issue my PO box was done now. All right, let's let's get into the letter. It says just toonate. Just a quick explanation about what is here. With the game, Amazon screwed up and sent me two of it. So I'm giving you the second one. Awesome. Well, the game is uh shantai one and two or shantai one and a half genie hero. It's ultimate edition by Xseed. I've never played a shantai game so this should be uh the ultimate day one edition includes uh 96 page art book risky beats soundtrack CD 30 music tracks uh as all the dlc extra pirate pirate screen quests friends to the end officer mode ninja mode beach mode with exclusive new bathing suit of course it's shantai um let me let's just open this up why not so he got two of these and what's nice is uh the switch is region free so it doesn't matter this will literally play right on my us account even though it came from Australia it does actually have a uh a us uh esrb so it must be a north american um copy but I maybe imported it and then amazon screwed up and sent them to whatever that's that's awesome well thanks for sending me your extra copy another switch game to add to the collection and uh maybe I have to play it on stream sometime let's let's open her up the box is a little squished so I don't know we'll see if I decide to keep the box or not um so there's the risky beats uh music CD um I don't really have a CD well I have my car can play CDs I should probably get like a CD burner and sort of burn in some of these these collection discs I get um there's the art book really really cool um I mean a bunch of art from from shantai I don't know if you saw that very well and there's the game of course let's see if this has a manual I've noticed some of the switch games do actually have manuals um which is interesting in an age when manuals seem to be going away uh but let's let's just new game smell there it is shantai shantai and uh the half genie hero I believe yeah it has a manual look at that look at that a game like this can have a manual nintendo it's in color too okay that's pretty cool well awesome we'll have to uh let's stream this sometime
