 How you guys doing welcome back to Nintendo Prime we have three big stories for you today And you know not every new story we talk about always a positive. So we actually have Sort of at least for us Nintendo fans a couple negatives What we do end on a very strong note today with one of the best stories I think I've actually heard in 2022 for switch. So that's really exciting But before we get into that, hey, if you're brand new to the channel, why not drop a like and subscribe? In fact, I really love our subscribers a ton so much So we're giving away an Xbox Series X a PlayStation 5 or a switch OLED to one of our subscribers this month All you have to do is heads of that gleam that IO link down in the pin comment or the description to enter All right, let's start with well the bad, right? They always say start with the bad and with the good and that final story you really want to gun You know wait around for that one. We got timestamps down below Now another employee is leaving Nintendo of America We've actually seen quite the influx of employees leaving Nintendo of America really since the closure of the California, you know studio of theirs They're kind of focusing everything into Seattle, Washington where their main headquarters are located here in the United States We obviously saw kitten crystal leave they now have their own podcast They were the host of Nintendo minute. Well now we have Samantha Robertson leaving and if you don't know who Samantha Robertson is I guarantee You've probably seen her at one point because now we're showing you clips of her presenting things during e3's various e3's and various events She's been one of the main presenters for Nintendo at these events really making her one of the faces of Nintendo of America And she has left the company. She put out this statement on Twitter and a goodbye message. She said last week. I wrapped up at Nintendo It's been an honor to work with such wonderful people But the pandemic has emphatically underscored that life is short and not to be for granted I have roads yet to explore and as cliche as it is. There's no time like the present I recognize that being able to take this step back is a privilege and it's not a move I make lightly. I'm excited to share future updates with you as I figure out what comes next I'm going to recharge spend time with friends and family Dig into projects and creative pursuits that have been languishing on the back burner for too long and Consider new ways to contribute to the industries and people I care about Video games and the gaming community remain a huge part of my life. This is an industry. I am passionate about I think it's incredible I think it can be even better and I don't think I'm done with it yet So wherever she decides to pop up in the future obviously is up to her and not determined at this point So she doesn't seem like she left Nintendo because she has another job somewhere else I think she just feels exhausted after the pandemic wants to take a step back and then jump back into the industry Through a different Avenue venue company, whatever in the future. So thank you Samantha Robertson for obviously Be an incredible at your job and presenting and playing games for us And obviously everything you actually do for your job that isn't about be it on camera and presenting Nintendo games Obviously, that's what we see public-facing But we all know the Treehouse employees are busy translating games and testing games and you know putting in the real work That all of us just get to enjoy and sometimes not appreciate as much as we should I don't worry So Nintendo America is completely gutted. We saw Bill Trent in there, baby. We don't know him He's like though. I don't know. I'm almost surprised. He's not the president But hey Doug Bowser is so cool. Alright, let's move into our next story and again I told you bad stories to start today, but we end strong and this story is well It's a bit rough. So Nintendo has decided to go to archive org and take out something. That's very special. We're talking about of course The strategy guide for Mario 64 that only came out in Japan. It was a Japan exclusive Strategy guide there are scans of it that existed on archive org It only had a one-print run back in 1996 only released in Japan So the only way people could enjoy this little part of this little nugget of gaming history to enjoy the dioramas They actually made for the maps. It was actually pretty cool What's to go to archive org and actually well, you know look at it these things are decades old Never been reprinted. There's no money to be made off them for anybody archive org doesn't make money off it Nintendo doesn't make money off it and well Yeah, Nintendo decided, you know what? We're taking this out. You're not allowed to host this material. It's copyrighted material Goodbye, they pressed delete on it again. Nintendo. He likes to hit that delete button a lot lately So let's actually get into some comments made by the people who originally had this up at archive org because they really succinctly put what exactly happened here and why it doesn't make sense Sadly archive org sent me their usual take-down notice email telling me Nintendo of America challenged the copyright of the scan And it was removed frankly I'd love to challenge the legitimacy of that and how Nintendo of America would have anything to do with the Nintendo of Japan licensed gem books guide from 1995 but I can't really fight the Nintendo legal team here. It's incredibly Disappointed well, I fully understand protecting ones IP and copyrights I didn't think I was hurting anyone by scanning and uploading a 27 year old guide that is extremely out of print Truthfully, I think it helps Nintendo while only hurting the people selling this guide for literal hundreds of dollars on the open market All I wanted to do was spread my love of this incredible guide to the larger extent of my love for the company I'm a rookie to the video game preservation scene But I can't think of anything more depressing than how it's a bunch of hard-working people Spending their free time and money painstakingly archiving and preserving history While major corporations like Nintendo are doing nothing to help in fact they're actively hindering the cause now It's a bit extreme to obviously, you know take this case and try to apply it as a blanket across the entire industry But yeah, we obviously don't game preservation has been hard and obviously gaming media and guidebooks like this preservation It's very very difficult because yeah Somehow Nintendo of America is copyright-claiming a Nintendo of Japan only book. It's really weird I'm not saying that they don't have the legal right to do it It's obviously hosted on you know the American web servers and maybe Nintendo of Japan kind of poked Nintendo of America to go deal with this But it's weird. It's out of print. It's not coming back. There was 20 almost three decades old at this point It's just it's a bit baffling. There's really no negative side for Nintendo other than them saying nope Our characters our guidebook. No, I Don't understand Nintendo sometimes, but hey at least we end with a positive story our last and final story folks It's a rumor, but oh boy is it a doozy and we hope that it's true here at the Nintendo Prime studio And what are we talking about? Call of Duty coming to Nintendo switch and no Not what you think you might be thinking oh, we're getting the shitty Call of Duty mobile game Well to be fair. It's actually not that bad, but no, we are not getting that game. That's on all of your phones No, we are actually getting a real Call of Duty game on switch according to this rumor. Let's dive in Right now. So this actually comes from a user on Twitter. I know so that's a rumor You know supposed insider being reported by a lot of big outlets, which actually brought this to my attention Called Ralph's valve. I actually don't know his history. I just know a lot of big news outlets are covering it So hey, here you go. Here's what he said on Twitter to get a little confusing until the final tweet I don't know if it was intentionally confusing, but here here's exactly what he said in a little thread on Twitter Activision are reportedly considering releasing remastered Call of Duty titles repurpose for newer consoles to fill out the empty space between Premium Call of Duty titles. So this kind of makes sense They're planning to do away with the yearly release of like the brand new Call of Duty game So yeah, kind of like Pokemon company did fill it in with remakes and remasters That had to have some some validity there And then he follows it up a same world at war Call of Duty 1 and 2 backwards compatibility for Call of Duty 4 modern warfare Remastered are currently what's in conversation Everything else was described by an associate as complicated. So that's like what they're talking about But everything besides that gets a bit more complex And then he ends the thread by saying Addressing some of the confusion modern warfare remastered is supposedly coming to Nintendo switch It's first Introductory into the Call of Duty franchise for the console. So right there modern warfare remastered Which actually originally released in 2016 But now they're gonna like somehow make it forwards compatible and then backwards and cross-gen and do all this crazy stuff with it Really soon for PlayStation 5 XX Series X when they do that, they're also gonna bring it to Nintendo switch Supposedly that would obviously be the very first Call of Duty game on switch and you know look switch has some other alternative Military shooters sniper elite series. I actually find to be quite incredible But that's not really based around massive multiplayer like Call of Duty is so it's actually really exciting to me to see one Of the better Call of Duty games that have come out in some time Of course, it was a remaster of a really great Call of Duty game So go figure that that's one of the better ones coming to Nintendo switch I think this really sets things up for future Call of Duty games to come to Nintendo's next generation platform whenever that comes out But we'll see Microsoft obviously likes working Nintendo. They're buying Activision Blizzard something Activision is bringing Call of Duty to switch So yeah, I guess this actually turned out to be pretty good I actually presumed when Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard that we would see less games coming to switch Turns out maybe we're gonna see more so this is really good news really exciting news to end our video today I want to also end by reminding you guys that we will be streaming Kirby and the Forgotten Land By the way that game came out today If you haven't bought it yet Why don't you use our Best Buy affiliate link down at the top of the description because if you do so we actually get a 22% kickback to the channel.
