 Are you ready for the next Nintendo Direct? Oh, you better be because it's coming tomorrow. Before we get into that, I gotta remind you, we have two giveaways going on right now. One of them is for three copies of Super Mario 3D All Stars to enter that, go down to the description, hit the gleam.io link, there you go. You can also join at patreon.com, session 10 or prime for as little as $1 a month, get to 15 entries in every giveaway we do. Also I have a second giveaway going on for a Nintendo Switch Lite, and then two second place winners win a game of choice, enter that, go down in the description as well. There's a laundry list of ways to enter, subscribe and do the channel following on Twitter, go on Discord, hitting that bell icon, all that jazz. So do that, and good luck. Oh wow, winners announced October 1st. So let's get into, sorry, it's been kind of a crazy morning. We've had some amazing news earlier from Shintura Furukawa about how Nintendo's gonna dominate basically and go after cutting edge technology inside the next Switch, but they also announced at the very end of that meeting that they had last night, they had this impromptu investors meeting last night, that there is a new partner direct. Now they also announced this at the same time on social media, but the point is, there is going to be a new Nintendo Direct Mini partner showcase. Now normally, you know, that's, it is what it is, the last partner showcase, you know, didn't really impress. The one before that did have, you know, Shin Megami Tensei 5 in it, so that was really exciting for some people, obviously 3 remastered as well. But what makes this one interesting is, at Aesthetic Gamer, aka Dust Golem, who has been a Capcom leaker for quite some time, put out there that Monster Hunter Switch is a thing. Monster Hunter Switch is happening, Monster Hunter has a game, you know, Capcom has a Monster Hunter game exclusively being made for Switch. And what makes it interesting is, after Nintendo announced his partner showcase, he went out there because he knows about 4 major games. So he went out there and he said, I'll just blatantly say it. At the start of this year, back in February, I said there would be 4 big titles Capcom would announce, and 2 of them would be Resident Evil games, including Resident Evil 3 announced at the time. Resident Evil 8 was supposed to release in January 2021 before covid struck, and the other 2 games at the time were Monster Hunter Switch and Street Fighter 6. Street Fighter 6 was supposed to release this year, but it got a year delayed due to trouble and direction from Ono's decisions and someone else taking over. Capcom still have been very much gunning for Resident Evil 8 and Monster Hunter Switch this fiscal year. So the reason I bring this up is because we're getting towards the end of the year. If there's going to be a new Monster Hunter game, it's got to get announced soon. Monster Hunter would do huge this year, especially in Japan. Monster Hunter on Switch would be a massive seller. It could sell 4 or 5 million on Switch, I think no problem, but it'll be the most successful Monster Hunter game on a Nintendo platform ever. I have no doubt about that. So this is what makes this partner showcase exciting tomorrow, is that if there's going to be a Monster Hunter, this is where it would be announced. It would be announced in a partner showcase. It would be announced in a partner showcase direct. An exclusive Monster Hunter game for Switch, this is how you do it. And then you might say, oh, they saved that for a general direct. Well, are we getting a general direct? Does it look like we're getting a general direct? Partner showcases, they have no problem showing off anything. It's not just indie games. If it was just indie games, it would be an indie world. No. It would be off games from their AAA partners. So hey, you know, it could be time. We could also end up seeing Octopath Traveler 2. We know that's in development. Maybe we finally see Bravely to Vault 2 again. We haven't seen that in a while. The point is, this partner showcase, there's reason to be hyped because of this, from Dust Golem, this rumor out there about a Monster Hunter for Switch. But beyond that, because Nintendo gave us games now. We can't complain. We got the 35th anniversary direct. We got Age of Calamity. It's hard to complain now about announcements from Nintendo, which to me frees up my mind to be super hyped about these partner showcases to see what everyone else is doing. I think if that 35th anniversary thing happened before any of these partner showcases, people would have never been upset at partner showcases in the first place. But boy, man, I'm so hyped. You know, as I say here in a speculate, what else could be in it? You know, they don't really focus on indie games in it because that's what indie worlds are for. So I'm actually curious, are we going to finally see Doom Eternal on Switch? You know, that's been in development for Switch since before Doom Eternal even came out. And we just haven't seen it. And we know Panic Button's doing it. And as far as we're aware, it hasn't been canceled. So we have to be seeing that at some point, right? I don't know if we're going to see it now. We know there's new DLC coming out for Civilization 6 that's supposed to come to Switch as well. Member Civ 6 is on Switch. So that's something that could happen. And as you look forward to new announcements, you know, I'm not sure what what new could be announced because third parties have kind of, I guess, talked about things. I mean, we could see Immortals Phoenix rising like actual Switch gameplay because that's launching on Switch day and date with all the other versions. So we could technically see some Switch footage for once because we haven't we have no idea what it actually looks like on Nintendo Switch. But I mean, that's talking big games. They also show little games. You know, you guys remember that stupid wrestling game they showed last time? There's going to be smaller partnership games in there, too. I don't know what's considered small these days, though, right? Like, I think small, I sort of think indie. But then, you know, is Bravely Default 2 considered small? I remember when Autopilot was announced, that was considered small at the time, even though it ended up selling really well. It's an interesting thing to think about. And I'm curious, you know, what you guys actually want to see in it because what you guys want to see in it maybe is what excites me the most. And remember, there is the PlayStation 5 event later today. We'll see if I live stream it. I'm kind of planning to stream it, but we'll see. I'm not 100% sold on doing it just yet. I kind of had a crazy day yesterday. For those who don't know, we hit 50,000 subscribers yesterday. Man, I can't believe I can even say that out loud. We're probably at 51 by the time you hear this. We're on our road to 100K. I can't believe I'm even saying that out loud. We are on our road to 100,000 subscribers at Silver Play Button. Viewership's been going nuts. I thank you all for tuning in. I hope that you guys stick around, even if I'm not talking about Mario, because this video is not about Mario, the last video wasn't about Mario. So hopefully, you guys, you know, are here for more than just a Mario. Although I will be doing an impression video on Super Mario 3D All Stars. I still want to know that you guys will be around for other content as well, because I am a Nintendo YouTuber. I don't just focus on one on one game, even if it's the focus of the moment. All right, folks, I can't guys, I said this on live stream. And I'm going to say this now. It means so much to me that you guys tune into my videos. Yeah, the giveaways are cool and everything. Yeah, when people do like big donations or live streams, it's cool. I appreciate all that, you know, all the support on Patreon. I appreciate all that. But you guys, the viewers are what make this exciting for me. What make me enjoy content creating. Yeah, there's some level of enjoying editing, level of enjoy recording and reporting on things. But honestly, if you guys weren't watching, the joy just wouldn't be there. So it is so exciting to me to see all these people excited about video games and excited about Nintendo at the same time and deciding my channel is the channel they want to watch for this stuff. My channel is the channel they want to hit that bell icon. My channel is the one that they want to click on every video. And I know some of it's for the giveaway. I get it. I know the giveaways and incentivize it a little bit. But come on, be honest, how many of you guys are here for the content too? Not just the giveaways, the content. I know because I've seen it in the comment section. So many people mentioning they're here for the content, not just the giveaways. Although the giveaways are absolutely nice. I mean, come on, they are. All right, that's all right. That's all I got. Thank you guys for tuning in. I don't want to cry over here. I already cried last night. All right, I'll catch you guys in the next video.
