 Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime, and this is the first time you've ever checked out a Nintendo Prime video and you're into Nintendo news, discussion, opinions, and obviously debate. You guys should subscribe to the channel, hit that bell icon, drop a like, leave a comment. In fact today we're going to have a couple interesting topics here to talk about. Thanks to industry veteran industry, you can call him I guess an insider if you want. Journalist, someone who does put his name in front of everything he isn't hiding, he will answer if you attempt to contact him. Mr. Jeffery Grubb, Jeff Grubb who works for a number of actual, oh it's at this point from Giant Bomb and Venture Beat and I don't even know, honestly keep me track of everything that he's doing. It can be a bit difficult unless you just happen to be a Jeff Grubb mega fan, which yes, there are Jeff Grubb mega fans out there. For a while I was sort of one of them, but you know I got a lot of things I gotta follow, I got a lot of things I gotta do, I got people I gotta take care of around my house so I don't always get to follow everybody the way that I wish that I could, but it doesn't really matter because what does matter are things that he has been bringing up last week in particular, things that pertain to the Nintendo 2022 Switch lineup. Now these are things that he says he thinks are going to happen. He doesn't tell you and this is where you gotta be clarified and sometimes there's been a bad clarification about this in the past. Jeff Grubb, while he has inside information he's very careful to tell you this is what my sources are saying versus this is what I think will happen. Now he does base his opinions on what he thinks will happen from those sources, however there is a difference. So it's kinda like if I told you, hey I know somebody at GameStop that said this game is going to drop on this date, that is me telling you news based on information I have from a retail friend. Versus me saying based on that news I think this game is going to sell 50 million copies, I have no reason to think that, it's just hey because of this release date I'm going to start speculating away. So take what this is here with the grain of salt, take it as don't even call it a rumor. More of a he is setting the table of expectations based on things he has heard but not things he is hearing it will for sure happen on this date. But it's important that we preface this because people are going to get really hyped and I don't blame you because the games we're about to talk about are some of the most hyped games that there could be that's not currently on the slate and first off it starts off with Metroid Prime. Now look the Metroid Prime trilogy is something that we've talked about for a number of years, suppose a remake HD redoing and then last year the rumor sort of shifted thanks to Emily Rogers and others that said hey they never were really doing the Metroid Prime trilogy per se, they were working on games individually starting with Metroid Prime and yes giving it an HD remake but a remake, there was a lot more work put into this than just a simple remaster and yeah that's why it's taken so long and supposedly it's done and it's just sitting there for Nintendo to release whenever they feel like it. I don't know who did it, I don't know if it was Retro Studios but what I do know is that this is a supposed game that can come out at any time and after Metroid Dread last year it would make sense to continue some of that Metroid hype in 2022 especially since Metroid Prime 4 just feels like it's a long ways away. And according to Jeff Grubb he thinks this remake is going to actually be dropping in early November which could make a lot of sense, you got Pokemon likely coming in November and that will be later in the month and you can kick it off with Metroid Prime remake, I think that this would actually be a nice combination and obviously they released Metroid Prime basically during last year's holiday period so why not Metroid Prime, Metroid Dread during last year's holiday period and why not release Metroid Prime HD this year. To me it sort of just makes a lot of sense but we'll see, I think it also kind of depends on when Metroid Prime 4 is going to come because right now I'm really doubting that Metroid Prime 4 even comes to switch in the first place or if it does it'll be a cross generation title, I know, we don't want to think that because Metroid Prime 4 was announced back in 2017, I'm going to knock them out on switch or I don't know, it, we'll see what happens, we just haven't heard anything from the game. I think I am allowed to be skeptical on Metroid Prime 4 when we haven't actually heard anything in such a long time but that's not the funeral there because the Metroid Prime remake would be fantastic, it is an amazing game, came out back on the GameCube, is re-released on the Wii with motion controls, I just got to say it's an amazing game, it holds up to this day, I'd even think the visual style somehow over the years is held up and just HD in it alone would be impressive to me but you know what, hey they're going to go above and beyond, that's cool, I'll gladly have that paired in this holiday, I got no problem with that, it wouldn't be a game that they're looking at to be like this mega 10 plus million seller but it could fill the void, it could sell easily 3-5 million and I think that could be good enough for Nintendo especially since Rumor has it, anyways reports have it that Nintendo's sales are down 10% over expectations because of supply chain issues and if those supply chain issues are going to be cleaned up for this holiday they might want even more games to push holiday sales so yeah, I would love to see this and I really hope in this case Jeff is correct. Now, some other games that Jeff Grubb decided to open his trap about are back in the news and these games are ones that are beloved among Switch fans, beloved among Nintendo fans and beloved among Zelda fans with Breath of the Wild 2 being pushed to 2023, hey, could Nintendo have something Zelda coming this year as they have for every single year in recent history, while Jeff Grubb actually had something to say about this and here are the exact quotes and keep in mind he's talking about Nintendo here, they, aka Nintendo want to have a Zelda game every year and they have been holding onto this, why won't they just put it out there this year and if they don't put it out or some other Zelda thing this year again, this or something else, instead of just waiting for Breath of the Wild 2, I won't understand it, I think that this game, the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD bundle, as much as it's a joke as it was in the Mega64 video, I do believe it actually comes out this October. Now look, he's been talking about this obviously dating back to the Zelda 35th anniversary last year when he thought these games would come out and he wasn't just saying that he thought these games would come out back then, he stated that he had his own sources that the Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are done, they're already ported and ready to go on Switch, it's just a guessing game for when Nintendo is going to release them. And I honestly can find that believable given how many other Wii U ports we have seen, how could these ones not have been done and what is Nintendo waiting for? I think the bigger question is would they really bundle them together when they sold Skyward Sword HD on its own and each of these games were sold individually on their own for $60 again when they went HD, so I would like to see them bundle together, I think that would be good on Nintendo to do that, give us incredible value, yeah maybe it looks like it makes Skyward Sword HD look like maybe it wasn't as great of a value last year at $60, but you know what, that's in the past and I don't think Skyward Sword HD no offense is getting that long tail of sales, I don't really believe it's sitting there on store shelves right now selling in the multi-millions right this second, I think anyone who wanted to buy Skyward Sword HD pretty much already bought Skyward Sword HD. So I can see where they bundle those together and it could end up being doing incredible and October it makes a lot of sense, they could pair a dual release in that one, I think you could hit ban on a three later in the month, do Wind Waker and Twilight Princess early in the month, I mean obviously there's still August where we don't have anything technically announced yet, maybe Jeff Grubbs got some thoughts on that, but the point is this actually would make a lot of sense to come out this year, if it's already done it's simple and easy for Nintendo to drop, it had been widely speculated that Nintendo was holding onto these games in case Breath of the Wild 2 did get delayed out of 2022 and hey that did actually happen, so it would make a lot of sense to drop them, I do wonder about October being a little bit too close to spring of 2023, not that I think the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD are actually going to impact sales of Breath of the Wild 2, but Breath of the Wild 2 could actually impact sales of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD unless they think it's going to be like a Skyward Sword situation where you get a few months to take advantage of the sales and then people won't care. I don't know, I would like to think these games are a bit more beloved than Skyward Sword and could have a longer tail of sales and maybe Breath of the Wild 2 ends up boosting sales of these games, maybe references from these games being possibly present in Breath of the Wild 2 could help, but hey, he's just throwing it out there as an expectation and he's had sources that have told him that these things exist from the Prime Remake to the Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD being ready. His sources are saying these things have been ready and Nintendo is literally just deciding when they want to slot things in, whether it's this year, next year, or God forbid Nintendo just decides to scrap it even though the work's been done. Again, this is all according to Jeff Grubb and love ya Jeffy. Also big shout out to RGT85 as well, some people might note that he actually talked about this before I did because hey, I took a day off yesterday because I'm a loud days off everyone, like the Q&A yesterday that went up, that was actually recorded back on Friday and fully edited on Saturday morning, so I literally did not do any YouTube work yesterday, so hey shout out to RGT85 for BEING MORE ON TOP OF THIS THAN ME, that's what happens when you're competing with a guy who everyone says I look like, I don't know, he's a nice guy, he might light his chest on fire and then he did it on Sponkast and now if his video on this fedon is screwed I'll link to his video, go drop a like on his video because if it gets to 10,000 likes he'll light his chest on fire on his own channel because Sponkast apparently is more important to him than his own fans, that's kind of an interesting revelation, I like to ask you about that, how about that sometimes, Sean? Huh? Anyways, I am Nintendo RoboJazz from Nintendo Prime, you guys are awesome and I'll catch you in that next video.
