 Hey everyone, I'm Nintendo RoboJax for the Nintendo Prime and yeah, I think a Nintendo Direct is happening in September But I think the evidence for it that's happening right now is compelling possibly look at the history of the Nintendo Direct We can clearly see that September is Basically the month that Nintendo always does an Nintendo Direct and outside of one year will get into that And I might be able to even tell you what day the Nintendo Direct is happening And it's gonna be on a non-traditional day if history is to be correct here So let's just jump right into why we think a Nintendo Direct is coming in September So the first thing we had happened and you guys probably heard this news from some other outlets is this leak from GameStop So essentially it is now up to 18 new games have appeared on GameStop's computers New available SKUs that you can pre-order although there's no names attached to them yet on GameStop's Computers their internal systems at the stores now when this happens traditionally, it's right before There's about to be a big event this traditionally happens before E3 or before Nintendo directs So to see so many of them is to suggest that there will be 18 games or so that will be available to pre-order soon Unveiled in some sort of major event gamescom just passed so it wasn't that so it's obviously pointing towards the Nintendo Direct now This doesn't mean 18 AAA titles of course there could be remasters in there There could be ports there could also just be indie games because you can buy indie games from GameStop So a lot of stuff that could be talked about here So yeah, this is the first piece of evidence that something is happening soon We're almost to the end of August so it makes a lot of sense for it to be happening in September Now there's other evidence to go along with this and this is that directs seem to always happen in September And this is probably some of the biggest evidence there is Here we see the history of Nintendo Directs when they started happening back in 2011 and if you go to 2012 the first time of September could have happened There was one for brain-age concentration training on September 7th in Japan. This is Japan only one for that particular game There was a general Wii U Nintendo Direct on September 13th And this happened in Japan, North America. Obviously that was the big one And then there was another Nintendo Direct Mini in Japan only in September on September 28th for Super Mario Bros. 2 All right, so let's fast forward to 2013 As we scroll down here There's a lot of directs that happened in 2013, but you'll see that we had a Pokemon X and Y direct happened on September 4th Nintendo Direct for Monster Hunter 4 happened on September 8th We fit you Nintendo Direct happened on September 18th Now you'll notice there wasn't a big general direct in September But as you could see there was a lot of directs in in 2013 that's because they were they were really focused on doing a lot of You know individual game directs and you did see back in May 17th of 2013 Wii U and 3DS game general direct But that's just not something that was extremely common that year is a lot of individual game directs and direct minis All right, so fast forward to 2014 and we'll scroll down here and oh wait a second There was one Actually two I should say there was a bayonetta 2 direct on September 4th with that one was worldwide And then there was a Nintendo 3DS only direct in Australia on September 24th, so again lots of September stuff. All right, so let's scroll down now We got 2015 here And you'll notice in 2015 that there wasn't very many directs and that meant there was not a direct For for September we had and so we had a general direct in November, but there was nothing in September That was kind of an oddball year because as you'll see in 2016 we had a Nintendo 3DS direct for the whole world on September 1st So again another direct in September. All right 2017 things start to get very very interesting, so we'll scroll down here And you'll see that there was a Fire Emblem heroes kind of direct style thing I was just like a showcase on September 13th There was also a general Nintendo direct for Nintendo switch and 3DS that focused on Zealomia Chronicles 2 and Super Mario Odyssey But that was a general Nintendo direct on September 13 2017 if you remember back in 2012 They also had a direct on September 13th. Isn't that interesting? All right, so scroll down to 2018 This is just last year and sure enough we had a general Nintendo direct on September 13th For Nintendo switch and Nintendo 3DS games So now we're here in 2019 and I'm here to tell you guys that we're going to get a direct in September because they've Done one every single September except for one in 2015, which was kind of an oddball Year and that was probably the year they decided they were gonna You know the labor of the wild for the switch and all that stuff So kind of an oddball year that year, but what's interesting is that September 13th has happened three times now Nintendo directs typically happen on Tuesdays or Thursdays, but what's interesting about the last two years is In 2017 it landed on a Thursday right September 13th was on a Thursday, but last year September 13th was on a Wednesday so I Think based on the last two years plus I guess you throw 2012 in the mix the September 13th Seems like a pretty damn safe bet and September 13th this year lands on a Friday So as long as it's not a weekend I think it's highly plausible that September 13th could be the date and it's gonna be a general direct They have consistently since switch launched had a What really 2017 2018 has September 13th general direct I don't see any reason for them not to do that in addition to the 18 new titles They'll be available to pre-order and or purchase on GameStop soon All right, but the evidence doesn't stop there. So Nintendo put up this tweet I'm not sure how much to make of it, but there's a lot of hype videos going on out there So Mario needs a little summer vacation. No matter where your summer odyssey took you We hope it was filled with sunshine. Obviously, there's a reference to Mario odyssey in there There's also a reference to summertime and sunshine and that makes people think of Super Mario sunshine There's been rumors and reports around that being remastered for quite some time I don't know how popular of a remaster. It would be but that is something that people are thinking will happen There's some other stuff going on as well because and this Nintendo direct speculation thread on reset air I got a couple things here where Emily Rogers speaks of Emily Rogers has been right on a lot of things Is an insider for switch in particular? Let's ignore everything that happened before For switch She's been writing a lot of things including like Mario plus Rabbids Kingdom Battle and a whole bunch of stuff that she's already been writing on so far this year Happening and one thing is she states that there is going to be a mystery fourth game For switch so the first mystery game was Astro Train and link so I can insert my maker to there's a mystery fourth game That's exclusive for switch That's going to be landing in December that has not been announced yet That is what she is sticking by her guns on that one So that is something to consider that they would need to unveil soon if it's coming out this December I wouldn't expect it to be like some major game But you know could be like a warrior wear or something along those lines kind of a tweener title that Maybe just needs to be announced outside of the hoopla of E3 and Breath of the Wild 2 and all that jazz So there's that going on there also She is saying that there was some sort of port from Wii U from 2013 We know 2013 is the year that Pikmin 3 came out and Kingzel as well over on reset era has basically said that Pikmin 3 is coming to switch and he's been right on literally everything. He's ever talked about with switch So actually he's been right on everything. He's ever talked about period. He's pretty well connected to ever Kingzel is so Yeah Pikmin 3 port and that's being suggested to release in January or February of 2020 That could be announced now as kind of a hey, you know, it's kind of new Super Mario Bros. You deluxe for next year So again a lot of this is all speculative a lot of this is just hey look at what's been happening with directs over the Past, you know, I don't know almost decade at this point But it's still very interesting to look at now There's some other evidence out there as well. That's kind of on the fringe That's really hard for me to find right now, but it was brought up in this reset era thread So I figured I would talk about it a little bit for starters as an old 4-chan rumor That listed everything that Nintendo was gonna do at E3 and they nailed literally everything except for two things And these two things were things they said might be at E3 and they weren't that being WarioWare a new WarioWare title for switch and then a 2.5d metro a game So those are pretty safe bets and could be something that would be announced Potentially at a direct so something to keep in mind if that 4-chan thread wasn't just completely lucky And actually, you know was right and insider information which it looks like it was so far But again, these are kind of the two titles people would ha ha those were daddy 3 even though apparently in the thread for it It said might be at E3 now that these two titles would be at E3 So that is basically the gist of it So what I really want to know is what do you guys think of all of this information? I think so in the most compelling is obviously the GameStop stuff and then The prior times that they have had Nintendo directs because September seems like a month that they're basically gonna do every single Time whether it's a mini whether it's a regular direct or an individual game direct and we know that September by the way We have the launch of the switch light. So again, could be another chance to hype that up We know where there's a whole there's like three major games coming out in September as well Link's Awakening obviously being the highlight that releases the same day as the switch light So there's just a lot of great stuff happening And we can't forget when we get to the end of August year with Astral chain coming as well So honestly, I want to get you guys thoughts on this on what you think in general of this Nintendo direct now to end this video. I kind of want to bring something up. It's an off topic But related to the channel and if you're not interested in what happens at this channel I guess you can click away. If you are interested obviously drop a like subscribe comment below Especially comment below on this. I am debating currently on Changing the name of the channel. I know going through rebrands is not something that is Generally smiled upon and I'll probably lose a bunch of subs over a rebrand, but One thing I want to do with this channel I've been thinking about a rebrand for a long time and now that I had this health scare and all the stuff I kind of want to make this channel an all-purpose channel So we'll still do Nintendo will stop the Nintendo Prime podcast We'll still be talking about Nintendo news a lot of it You know Prime news might come back at some point as well But I want to also be able to talk about other things happening in gaming I want to sometimes talk about things happening in pop culture like The spider-man MCU universe stuff or whatever. That's just an example And I don't want to have to make a second channel for all of that because I don't think I Personally have the ability to maintain two separate channels like that I'd rather just all be one channel and I am basically Nintendo Prime like Nintendo Prime is just a username. It's not really Me so the question is, you know, what what do I do about that? There's been a lot of rebrand names, you know, I could keep the MP initials and just go Nate Prime using my name That's obviously what I've been leaning towards but there's a lot of potential options out there So I want to get you guys's ideas on a potential rebrand. I mean do I just use my name? I know I use my name on another channel, but maybe I could use a shortened form of my name here like Nate Jantz or something I don't know you guys. Let me know what you personally are feeling here I want a more general username. So I'm not just locked into Nintendo only all the time I'll give you a prime example here actually a game explain a game explain is well known for like some of the best Nintendo coverage around Over a million subs biggest Nintendo channel around But they're slowly starting to cover more than just Nintendo and it's easier for them to shift to that because the name or the channel Game explain isn't in you know intrinsically. This is a Nintendo channel It's a we're a gaming channel and we just happen to cover primarily Nintendo And I feel like my channel is still going to end up being primarily Nintendo because that's what I'm interested in But the ability for me to do things like stream Madden, you know, like stream Madden and actually have it fit with the channel Because I have Madden on PC and it would be kind of cool to do that or While classic is launching it'd be cool to stream that as something else. I'm interested in it would be cool to Potentially talk about games on PlayStation 5 or like the heck that there's that PlayStation 5 dev kit leak Like that's just something that doesn't currently fit with the channel and these things interest me And I'd like to talk about them and I've come up with ways, you know to talk about them in the past But those ways weren't necessarily Fitting with the channel name and to confuse some people so I've already rebranded this channel once from Zelda informer to Nintendo Prime Moving it beyond Nintendo Prime is a pretty big shift and I don't know that I necessarily want to be like a gaming Primescentric name. I want it to be more centered around I guess me as a person as a human being You know, I'll try to segment things properly if I make a video about my family and my kids or whatever Have that kind of be its own thing. I have them have all the gaming news be its own thing Nintendo stuff may be on its own Sony Microsoft etc. However, I want to divvy that up, you know, maybe I Don't know maybe expand Prime news or have two different news shows I'm not exactly sure how I want to structure it just yet But what I do know is that I'm still going to be covering primarily Nintendo and mostly Nintendo But I want my name to not one not be a copyrighted name like Nintendo Prime Nintendo itself is a copyrighted trademark I can't technically use that as a business And I just want to free myself to kind of talk about the rest of the industry and what's going on When bad things are happening in Anthem, and I have something I want to talk about or happening with games aren't coming to switch I'm still gonna be hyped when games do come to switch and we'll talk about that But I kind of want to expand the horizons a little bit here and give me Some room to grow. Does that make sense room to grow? Obviously there's room to grow as a Nintendo content recreate creator Based on all the other Nintendo content creators out there and I know there's a lot of Nintendo focused general YouTube channels out there. So I get that some people are like, oh man, one thing we liked about you is that you were just Nintendo but Honestly, I need to be flexible and I need to have a flow of my interest or I could lose interest in the channel Now that's not happening yet. And as I said, I plan to cover Nintendo, you know hardcore for a long time But I would like to start maybe growing an additional audience that appreciates more than just Nintendo And honestly, I think some of you are already that way So I don't know those are just my thoughts a few stayed on for this little extra bit. I really thank you Thanks so much for and I won't waste any more of your guys's time I'm just glad to be back on camera chit chatting with you all and I'll you know what if you have any name suggestions for the channel Or whatever. Let me know down in the description. Otherwise, I will catch you guys all in the next video
