 Today folks, we have some massive news coming your way for Nintendo Switch 2, I can't believe we have some direct sources here from fellow content creators talking about the specs of what this system is and you know what, comparing it to a current generation system, not PlayStation 4 or Xbox. So this is going to be quite compelling stuff, we also have a friend of the channel giving us some happy news from third party developers making games for Nintendo Switch 2. We're not just stopping there, we have to talk about Unicorn Overload today and Ed Boone comes out to talk about the Switch version making some promises when it comes to Mortal Combat 1. Alright guys, well before we get into that I just want to remind you guys that we are on our road to 150,000 subscribers so I would appreciate it if you would go ahead and smash that validation button, subscribe to the channel and ring-a-ling that ding-a-ling to be notified of all future uploads, including the Nintendo Prime Podcast tonight at 8pm central. You guys are going to want to be there, we have lots of Switch 2 stuff to talk about. Our first story today deals with Unicorn Overlord, the biggest, well one of the biggest surprises from the last Nintendo Direct. Now today we got a PR email giving me some exact details on this game, I wanted to go over this because again, we don't really know a lot about Unicorn Overlord including its very strange name, so let's get into it. First it starts with the story portion and it says, The story takes place on the continent of Fevrith, a land home to five nations, Kornia, Draconhold, Elheim, Bistorius, and Abion, inhabited not only by humans but also by other races such as elves, angels, and a race of beast folk known as Besterals. After Kornia's general Valmor rebels against his nation's royal family, he starts a war that will soon tear the entire continent apart. Elaine, the protagonist of the game, and Prince Kornia, flees from his home during the uprising and is chosen to lead the Liberation Army that will free all subjugated lands from Fevrith. Ten years have passed and with the legendary Ring of the Unicorn in hand, Elaine raises the flag of rebellion to lead his people to freedom. The characters, for the protagonist we got Elaine who is the crown prince of the Fallen Kingdom of Kornia and son of its queen, Elenia. After losing his mother at a young age, admis Kornian, general Valmor's rebellion, he was ushered to the island of Palvia by the knight Joseph, who taught him sword and strategy alike until the age of 17. The protagonist's ally is named Scarlet who is a priestess of the Palvian orthodoxy who, after training tirelessly from a young age, now tends to the cathedral on the island of Palvia. In the end, she opts to leave the island and join Elaine on his journey. Now, an ally to the protagonist is Lex, a childhood friend of Elaine's, born on the island of Palvia to a local fisherman. After studying under Joseph, he resolves to join the quest to liberate Fevrith. Another ally is Joseph himself, a holy knight of the Fallen Kingdom of Kornia. He fled to Palvia with Elaine 10 years ago and Elenia's behest. He made his great strides toward forming the Liberation Army ever since. Now the protagonist's mother, Elenia, is the queen of Kornia who ruled with both a keen military mind and a steady hand. Upon realizing there was no quelling the tide of the rebellion, she entrusted her son, Elaine, and her loyal retainer, Joseph. Now the enemy, the protagonist's main enemy is Galerius, emperor of the reborn Xenorean Empire and once a renowned Kornian general by the name of Valmor. After leading a successful rebellion against the Kornian royal family, he claimed all of Fevrith as his own. Now, we got a little breakdown of the gameplay. You could freely transverse and expanse of world, gather new allies by forging bonds. There's over 60 unique characters in the game. Characters include humans and elves and massive beasts and heavenly angels. You can reclaim towns and rebuild them with materials that you've gathered and you can also train your allies. Now, some of the systems in the game include defeating Azornian forces, do control towns and fortresses to restore law and order, gain access to facilities such as armorers and provisioners, wandering enemies disappear after you restore law and order, battles include real-time combat and victory is secured once you clear certain conditions. Individual battles begin when your units make contact with the enemy during a battle stage and you can coordinate a unit's tactics with conditions that factor how and when skills will automatically be used. Now, there are difficulty levels, three of them to be exact, sweet is a difficulty focusing on story and those are for players looking to win battles without too much difficulty. Normal is the difficulty focusing on tactical gameplay for players who may be unfamiliar with strategy games and hard a difficulty focusing on pushing your tactical mind to its limits for players who are quite skilled at strategy games. Now there is an online mode that takes place in a Colosseum and enjoys PvP battles. So look guys this unicorn overlord game looks utterly fantastic and the unicorn ring I'm betting plays a major role in this whole thing and in the title of the game itself. So I'm really excited for this. This is one of my most anticipated games coming out for Switch. So hey I'm looking forward to the next information drop. Next up we have to dive right into Nintendo Switch 2 because look the rumors are swirling all over and we have a fresh batch of rumors today that include performance metrics and exact specifications and this comes from the form of a fellow YouTuber called Red Gaming Tech. Now I don't know a ton about this YouTuber. I had never heard of him before. He was being referenced over at WCCF Tech in an article that's how I found him but I want to give credit to the original source. So let's dive into the stuff that he is claiming he has heard from his own sources. So he heard that the system will indeed have 12 gigabytes of RAM matching the prior rumors and reports. The RAM itself will have 128-bit bus width. Look that means a whole lot. Some people thought it might be 64, 128 is a good thing. It's rocking an 8x Cortex a7-8 CPU cores. This is essentially what everyone was assuming the T239 was rocking anyway so that kind of falls in line with a lot of the heavy speculation around the chip in the system. It does have a 12x SM which is based on Nvidia's Ampere architecture. However the interesting thing is he's claiming that he has heard it does have some Lovelace features even though it's not the Lovelace architecture. I'm not sure what that means exactly. One of his sources says the clocks are 6,400 megahertz docked and 4,800 megahertz handheld. But then he had another source that claimed 4,267 megahertz but he doesn't know if that source was claiming that is docked or handheld. Now storage is apparently 256 to 512 gigabytes of EMMC but he's unsure if that's two different models or the size was undecided or they're just different sizes in different dev kits. Beyond that he does say DLSS support is true but I'm not going to go into deep details on this. Look guys we have much more credible information out there on DLSS at this point thanks to leaks we had out of Gamescom. Now maybe the biggest piece of info here is about the performance of the system and then it comes within 10 to 20 so roughly 15% of the Xbox Series S likely well docked. I'm just I'm just quoting him. Now that's very close to the ASUS ROG Ally in non-docked mode which by the way that's like an $800 system so that still is pretty good. Now he does think that this was with DLSS enabled but he wasn't sure and no one actually told him so he's just making an assumption. I don't know like I think you know when you're within 10 to 15% of you know the Xbox Series S and then I've been told behind the scenes personally that it's much closer to the PlayStation 4 Pro in power while the PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox Series S trade blows in different ways so I don't actually think it's too far fetched to think that this is actually the base performance not with DLSS but you know what I don't actually know nobody really does because no one's talking about that. Now a big feature he did here is that the system is backwards compatible that is music to some of you guys's ears but he does note that he doesn't want this to feel like it's a confirmation since there's other reports out there that maybe it's not backwards compatible. Does that mean he's shaky on his sources? I don't know I'm just sharing the information we'll have a full link to his video down below but that's not where things stop today. The Paul Gale Network stopped by our live stream last time to drop a little nugget he's heard from his third party connections and look Paul Gale Network is heavily connected he's been in the video game industry as a journalist for decades and he's a school teacher now he does a lot of amazing stuff he's got so many connections I honestly it makes me a little jealous sometimes but here's the thing he dropped a little nugget on my live stream but then he took that nugget and ended up putting it out on Twitter for the entire world so even though I heard about it first from him as did people at the live stream now the whole world knows and let's check this up because it's really exciting for Nintendo switch too. So Paul Gale Network says a friend that works at a third party so this is a third party studio told me the difference in the dev kit excitement slash working on Nintendo's next system is night and day to how they approach the Nintendo switch now he says there is nothing else beyond that but he he wants to put some hypotheses out there after all these are his friends he would know them better than us and he goes hypothesizing on my part but this is also likely true for multiple studios where we you left some companies less than optimistic on how well Nintendo NX Nintendo switch would perform and as a result not everyone had titles ready immediately and had to port later Nintendo has built such a high quality ecosystem with Nintendo switch that whatever its successor is is being highly welcomed good third party faith in Nintendo's next platform is great to hear Nintendo software output per generation never misses they always deliver okay it's a little some people might argue that's not always true but anyways managing tight relationships and satisfying indies and third parties including said folks enjoying their sales more moving parts I am very much looking forward to when Nintendo eventually reveals their next console and I think we're in for a major treat and you know what I tend to agree with his conclusion there it's just nice to hear from more people that third party companies are just stupidly excited about this platform and ready to start making games and releasing games and excited for fans to receive the games that they're working on so again just more and more and more good news pretty much everything we've heard about Nintendo switch 2 has been nothing but amazingly great news the only questionable thing was like hey if it doesn't have backwards compatibility that's not great but everything else we've heard about this thing is like damn this is exactly what we want in Nintendo to do so I guess we'll just have to wait and see I don't know what next is going to come out about Nintendo switch 2 because the floodgates have open now we get to a different type of Nintendo switch 2 leak this one coming from a somewhat no leaker online in Nash Weedle over on Twitter or X or did he z it I have no idea but let's get to his tweet so he basically says and it's in a different language that Yakuza and like a dragon collection is coming to Nintendo switch 2 at launch he doesn't go into which games will be part of the collection and I do believe there's roughly six of them maybe five I think it's like one of them is called zero and then one two and then there's like four five six I well I don't really understand the Yakuza series I haven't played it anyways when we think about the collection maybe it's just like the first three games I think that's what they did when they brought the games over to Xbox because these were originally PlayStation exclusive IP and I think they brought the first three in a collection to Xbox and then they brought four five six maybe that's what's happening now maybe it's all six games and one mega collection for 60 or 70 bucks I don't really know all I know is hey if we can get the Yakuza franchise which does regularly score in the mid 80s on Metacritic that to me means we're just getting a quality franchise maybe day one on Nintendo switch show I mean Nashville straight up says these are this is a launch collection pack for switch 2 so hey you know what the more the merrier baby give me all the high quality third party games on this next platform now our final story today deals of Mortal Combat 1 and I'm kind of rolling my eyes because look it didn't review very well on switch it's one of the worst reviewed games on switch actually lots of disappointment around this because Mortal Combat 11 ran pretty well and had really solid reviews so people had high hopes for Mortal Combat 1 and the switch version is apparently hot trash again not speaking from personal experience but we've all seen the videos we've all seen the screenshots some things are a little bit misrepresented and not being called bugs that are really bugs but either way a bug is still a problem so look guys let's just dive into what Ed Boone said in an interview in response to all of this because yeah we obviously don't want it to stay in this state do we so in an interview with BBC Newsbeat Mortal Combat series creator Ed Boone said this about the switch version of the game and a number of the concerns of the issues that have come up will absolutely be addressed it would have been ideal for us to have released the version we absolutely wanted but anything that we're finding a problem with is on our list and it's going to be fixed and he did later go on to note and clarify that anything his team finds to be unacceptable in this version are going to be addressed for Mortal Combat 1 now when I find really interested about this is following this up in the future I'm actually curious that they you know this is just one of those right things to say in the moment but nothing actually happens if you guys remember Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had a number of glitches and performance problems and Nintendo came out to say hey we're aware of these problems it's unacceptable and we're gonna work to work on a way to fix them and then lo and behold here we are a year almost a year later and Scarlet and Violet is not only getting DLC they still haven't patched and fixed all these performance problems so again it was the right thing for Nintendo to say at the time which was last holiday season but they'd never really addressed it and I'm worried that this might be Ed Boone making promises because it's the right thing to say but then because the sales aren't that great they just don't even bother to really patch and release any updates to fix anything again I'm maybe being a bit pessimistic here but we have already examples where companies including Nintendo themselves have said things and then not actually done it so I'm going to keep updating this story as we go and hopefully within a month or two we have some good news patches for Mortal Kombat 1 and then we can give Ed Boone credit for sticking to his word even though he fully admits look as we should have just released a better version and it seems in hindsight maybe the Switch version should have been delayed in this case for a better quality product but look they didn't port this directly the studio that made Mortal Kombat 1 they hired the same studio as it did Mortal Kombat 11's port and I'm guessing they just trusted them because hey the Mortal Kombat 11 port was great so why wouldn't they trust Saber Interactive and the rest but apparently this time around not so good also there's reports out there that Saber Interactive might be done porting Switch games in general it sounds like they might have a Switch 2 dev kit so now they're focusing on porting Switch 2 games so maybe they weren't giving their A team effort here as they're looking for the next you know system I don't know this is just reports of rumors out there I don't really know what's going on I can only do my best to deliver the news to you that being said guys I want to thank you so much for tuning in I am Nathaniel Robledes from NintendoPribe it's been an awesome episode today hopefully I see each and every one of you guys at tonight's Nintendo Prime podcast live at 8 p.m. Central right here on YouTube and you know what if you're not there I'll see you in the next video
