waiting for head on over to Timu to use that hundred dollar coupon bundle today so sony CEO Kanchiro Yoshida is super excited for the legend of Zelda movie and you know what I can't blame him because so am I right like I'm okay all right calm down let's get to actually what he said so he brought it up on stage at CES and he simply stated that he is very excited for the movie and it will deliver an amazing tale of adventure and discovery look we're not going to get a lot of details on the Zelda movie until Nintendo and everyone else is ready to talk about it right they're only just starting to work on it there might be a script done for it I have no idea we don't even know who the cast is right this movie is probably at least 2025 maybe a 2026 movie we have no idea it's not anytime soon but it's just something to sort of throw out into the ether that hey we should expect news on the Zelda movie at some point now we talked about how there might be more Microsoft games coming to Nintendo switch beyond the highly rumored hi-fi rush now hi-fi rush has been rated in Australia for Nintendo switch and PlayStation so hey that seems to be a pseudo confirmation of those rumors we were talking about that originated from Nate the hate but this doesn't seem to be the end because of this clip from Jeff Grubb so the the like see a thieves right I'll say I've heard that that was one that might be coming to other platforms that so when I first started hearing these rumors I was like oh this is probably about see a thieves because I've heard that could come to switch and PlayStation and maybe that might be the kind of thing where it's actually all of this stuff is happening and Microsoft is trying to like rejigger its strategy and that kind of comes back to the point that you were making that we should expect more of this that's right folks see a thieves is apparently coming to Nintendo switch PlayStation 5 etc etc I don't really know how I don't really know why I don't really know what's going on all I know is rare you know rare made a good game and by the time we get see a thieves on Nintendo switch it's going to be pretty exciting because the game is so full of content it is an amazing experience and I think it's going to fit right in with that Nintendo switch slash switch to audience also by the way you know who's probably most upset about this Ubisoft right they have skull and bones coming out that was going to be on you know PlayStation and stuff and see a thieves people think is like a better version of skull and bones and so I look I might hear to make that comparison directly because hey I played skull and bones beta and I don't really think it feels like see a thieves but I get the comparison because they're both about pirates and boats and taking people out so whatever next we're getting to probably our biggest story today oh man this comes from game industry biz and I'm so excited about it because it looks like Nintendo is partnering with at least three studios to work on Nintendo IP so we're talking your Mario's your Kirby's your Talbus your Metroid etc etc so Nintendo already does work with several partner companies but they're looking to add even more and it looks like they're trying to do it for Nintendo switch to because this entire article game industry top is was about Nintendo switch to now here's the quote from game industry is Christopher drink I also know that Nintendo is actively meeting with independent developers to find new partners some of that is around publishing indie games which Nintendo does from time to time but it's also seeking studios that could work on some of its IP Nintendo regularly works with third party teams including Bandai Namco team ninja platinum games mercury steam way forward and grezzo but the company is looking to add to that roster and I know of three studios that are in deep conversations around making games based on Nintendo's brands and look if we think about this when Metroid Dread was made by mercury steam that would have been one of those kind of indie studios and Metroid Dread was up for game of the freaking year so these partnerships are a huge deal the Nintendo try to find the right partners to work on specific things now I think for a top down Zelda Nintendo would just work with Grezzo but what if they're looking for a team to make top down Zelda games all the time yeah maybe Grezzo isn't the team for that then and they want somebody else maybe they want a different team working on side scrolling Kirby so then they could take the main Kirby team and they can work on the 3d Kirby games maybe that's what's going on maybe they're trying to find better partners for Pokemon remakes I don't know I know that'd be on the Pokemon company but Nintendo is heavily involved in that stuff maybe they're looking for stuff for Mario or maybe they're just looking at other IPs maybe they want to bring f0 back and so they're looking at studios that maybe make racing games I'm just throwing out there that Nintendo could be doing anything and it gets me really excited that they're trying to expand the amount of games they have coming up Nintendo's slate of games is utterly insane already and with this conversation now being started by Christopher drink based on his sources this now gets me even more excited for Nintendo switch to because obviously these conversations are for switch to based on the timing of it based on the article it was included in and I'm just man Nintendo oh you're getting me excited already and switch shoes not even here you haven't even announced his damn thing but now we're talking about games and you let me know what studios you think make sense for Nintendo partner with from an indie perspective and what games and IPs you think they should work on because that's going to be the conversation I think the big brux of it for today's video now our last story deals with the legend masa heroes Sakurai so he's been doing this youtube thing for a bit now releasing game development videos and stuff like this going over all the various aspects and trying to pass his lessons on to the masses both in Japan and internationally with you know the youtube channel that we all pay attention to well he recently put up a community post that said happy new year and hey we're going to be wrapping up the channel this year now this is likely because he is already at started development on another smash bros game this has been widely speculated and reported on over the last few months and as you get deeper and deeper into that development you're going to have less and less time to make youtube videos he's already cut back on how many youtube videos he's making and how much he's releasing and I think he just reached that conclusion heading to 2024 that hey I need to step away from the channel and get back to focusing on making games full time so I think that's really what this is about he's just getting ready to work or already is working on the next smash bros game and that's really exciting obviously because if he's closing on the channel he's clearly getting back to game development he already talked in a prior video how he's still an active game developer sort of suggesting he was already actively working on something so I think this is just makes sense and I don't know I wouldn't say that he's never going to come back to the channel obviously this could be it and he could just be saying hey I said everything I had to say there was a set amount of videos I wanted to make I did it and I'm done and that's it or he makes this next game and then you know three four years from now whenever he's done doing the dlc and all that stuff maybe he comes back to the youtube channel I don't know but I do want to say thank you to Masahiro Sakurai for making these very informative videos letting us know about your creative process and all along with ideas like the scroll wheel buttons that you were trying to convince Nintendo to do I do appreciate your transparency and your lessons and I look forward to your next project whether it's smash or something else entirely you know I'm just really excited to have you basically to play another Masahiro Sakurai game whatever that ends up entailing all right folks that's going to do it I want to thank you guys so much for being here at Nintendo Prime hopefully you enjoyed that sweet little four pack of news man I've had a long day let's get this video out the door and I'll catch you guys tonight on our live stream at 8 p.m central time
