 Today we have some big news to get out to you from Nintendo, I don't even know how to describe this. We have some weird information being passed around about tears of the kingdom that I believe to be fake and we need to spend some time talking about that. We also have some stuff going on with a potential, well not a potential, we are getting a form of a Nintendo Direct tomorrow so we have to talk about that as well. There's some updates on Nintendo lawsuit related things and yes a new game trial for NSO. Before we jump into all of this I want to remind you that we are giving away a Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Special Edition Switch OLED, we're also giving away a Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition, also a Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Pin from PAX East and maybe more I have no idea but that's what the giveaway has right now. To enter you just have to go to the link in the pinned comment or in the description. We're also now on our road to 133,000 subscribers so I would appreciate if you would subscribe to the channel, drop a like on the video and maybe even turn that bell notification on so you can be notified of all of our videos. Alright let's get into our first story here and this is just something Nintendo announced this morning and they put it out on their Twitter and other social media platforms and said a new indie world is happening tomorrow. So it is happening at 11am central time and they state tune in for roughly 20 minutes of reveals, announcements and updates on indie games for Nintendo's Switch. Now look indie worlds generally are pretty good and I have to say that to really get the first half of 2023 going Nintendo has been hitting it out of the park. Not only do we have a full Nintendo Direct back in February and obviously a lot of marketing lately for Tears of the Kingdom and this week marketing there's a new trailer that dropped for Advance Wars 1 plus 2 reboot camp coming out this Friday. Also dropping an indie world right now is really really good as well it felt like we were probably do one at some point here and there's one particular game people think will be in this indie world and it actually makes sense this time we've been hoping for every single indie world and that is Hollow Knight Silk Song. Now why do we expect it in this Direct? Well it was announced at an Xbox event last year and Microsoft boldly stated at this event which happened in June that hey everything shown in our event is releasing within the next calendar year so that's within the next 12 months so from June to June and right now Hollow Knight Silk Song does not have a release date so people think we might get the release date in this indie world of course that's not the only game is going to be when you have roughly 20 minutes of stuff to go there's going to be a ton of games packed in here and I'm really looking forward to it maybe this indie world more than any other because I'm really trying to see what is there to fill the slate between now and Tears of the Kingdom what's coming up when I'm done with Tears of the Kingdom and maybe fill a gap between Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4 if there even is a gap for me I'm just really looking forward to this indie world and I think many of you guys are as well of course we will be live stream reacting to this indie world tomorrow I'll probably go live about an hour before the indie world begins and search speculating away on on what news we can maybe here all right next up we need to talk about Tears of the Kingdom there's a piece of news floating out there I've seen it on Reddit I've seen it on Twitter I've seen it posted everywhere and it looks like it's an ad for Tears of the Kingdom a DLC outfit ad so here's the ad and it says receive a free DLC outfit for the legend of Zealot Tears of the Kingdom when you pre-order the game it includes a royal crush short shirt and the hero shorts which also the hero shorts you know based on this would confirm that there is no separate boot item what I find interesting about this ad is that it it looks fake because it probably is some people speculate this might have been AI generated I'm not sure the screenshot of Link wearing this these outfits is kind of blurry and not really a sort of shot that Nintendo would put in an ad right it would be link would be much taller much bigger much you know filling the screen with a much higher quality look at the outfit rather than what we're seeing here even the some fraying on the edges of the Nintendo switch logo and the Nintendo logo and the copyright Nintendo stuff it very much looks like this is a fake image if not made by AI made by a fan just be careful because you might see a lot of this stuff heading in the launch where you're gonna see something that looks pretty legit but probably isn't real and this is just one of those cases where this is likely fake ad I can't say like 1000% that it's fake but there's a lot of red flags to the point that there's a reason that you're not seeing this pop-up in a lot of videos there's a reason you're not seeing this reposted everywhere all the time and seeing how much a big Zelda youtuber is making a big deal out of it because it just looks fake it doesn't look like the quality of an ad Nintendo would put out so just throwing that out there I think that's not real you guys let me know what you think down in the comments below you team fake or team real now next up we need to talk about Nintendo and an update on a lawsuit that they already won so if you guys remember Nintendo brought down the hammer on Gary Bowser one of the members of team executor that was selling devices that could easily help cross pins and hack your Nintendo switch he was profiting off of it and that was really the problem here not that he was hacking switches but that he was profiting off selling devices that could help others hack their switch it's not illegal to hack your switch but you're not supposed to profit off of that kind of stuff and he was so he got busted and this was an already settled lawsuit and the thing is he was sentenced to a multiple years in jail along with ten million dollars in damages now here is the update on this because Gary Bowser has actually been released from prison so that's you know good for him he was released on good behavior and he has actually paid back about 175 dollars of what he owes that doesn't sound like much but here's the deal Nintendo can garnish his wages essentially for the rest of his life up to 25 to 30% now he was working when he was in prison and here's the thing he was actually a really upstanding citizen while he was in prison the problem is that prison wages are pretty low clearly because you're in jail so yeah he wasn't making a lot of money hence why he only paid back 175 dollars it does sound like Nintendo will be garnishing wages we have no idea if they're gonna be garnishing 25 to 30% I don't know if Nintendo ever plans to get their full 10 million out of him but clearly all of this is just occurred people from doing something similar in the future and setting an example for Gary Bowser this does suck to see 20 to 30% of his wages gone for the rest of his life but I also can't feel bad for him because he was profiting off selling devices to hack Nintendo switches which is against the law so yeah that's it's whatever there's also some other losses going on with appeals happening that Nintendo keeps winning as well we're not gonna dive too deep in to that one because it sounds like there might be another appeal being filed so we're just gonna let that play out in courts and then we'll talk about it once the appeal process is over all right and our last story today deals with the Nintendo switch online you guys know Nintendo does free game trials for Nintendo switch online just kind of here and there it's very random and now we know in our next North American free trial is coming and what the game is and that game is Star Wars Republic Commando an old game that has re-released on switch and it's actually pretty good these are one of the good old Star Wars games and they're doing a free game trial which for those of you know free game trials allow you to play the entire game and I would say for Star Wars Republic Commando you could probably beat the game in the time that this is available because it will be available the entire game from April 20th through April 26th so yeah plenty of time if you really want to buckle down you can actually beat Star Wars Republic Commando in that time frame however if you would like to just buy the game and don't care about the trial well during that time period they will be selling the game for 50% off and normally retails for $14.99 get it for about $7.50 I think it's worth the $7.50 personally and it helps support the people who ported it over and everything but yeah Star Wars Republic Commando is gonna be that next free game on Nintendo switch online the next free game trial pretty cool I would like to see some bigger games that would be cool if we got like a free Splatoon 3 weekend or something but what are you gonna do that Nintendo's already does that every once in a while anyways guys that is the big Nintendo news for the last 24 hours I'm really excited for what's coming next we'll see if we have another video later today I got a bit of a concert I need to go to for one of my children but hey you know what we'll still try to get a second video up later this afternoon you guys are awesome and I'll catch you in the next video
