 Hey everyone welcome at the prime five your five biggest Nintendo news stories in the last 24 hours and oh boy We have some doozies today because yes folks the video I made I don't know a week or two ago at this point about how hey the switch sales are sinking to a point that maybe Nintendo needs to consider replacing it or price drop or something has just gotten worse and This was actually kind of surprising today We have some brand new holiday deals announced by Nintendo that gave us their black Friday deals, so we get to Take a look at that. Let's just say I'm I'm unimpressed Next up we have news on sonic frontiers a brand new trailer plus some information on the switch version specifically Oh and maria plus rabid sparks of hope Gave us an idea of what their DLC is gonna be so we had to talk about that and Last but not least we're actually ending with a PlayStation story. What why we talk about PlayStation? Well, you know what I'll tell you after I remind you hey We are on a road to 80,000 subscribers. I would love to hit it by Thanksgiving if possible So go ahead and drop a like and subscribe to the channel. I really appreciate it to help support what we do here It's the number one thing you can do to really support the channel is subscribe to the channel drop a like and hey Maybe even leave a comment down below letting me know which of these stories is your favorite So our first story is that we have the updated to Femitsu charts from last week and These charts are quite interesting. So we have bayonetta three launch sales We'll get into that because those aren't quite as impressive as maybe Nintendo would hope but we have to first talk about Hardware sales. Let's get this out of the way PlayStation 5 has officially surpassed Nintendo switch last week PlayStation 5's base system plus all digital so 38,866 Units meanwhile the Nintendo switch the switch OLED and the switch light combined for thirty eight thousand six hundred and thirty forty units This is the first time essentially in six years that Nintendo switch was not at the top of the charts And this does not bode well for Nintendo. This does kind of show even in Japan Nintendo switch seems to have hit market saturation now I do suspect obviously the sales were boosted a little bit with the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and other things coming out in Japan and I understand that but also that never seemed to stop the switch before these are some of the lowest switch sales Numbers we have seen I think it will pick up again with Pokemon and maybe they'll be all right through December But the writings on the wall Nintendo's gonna have to do something now another game we want to talk about is bayonetta 3 and It debuted at number two number one is still Splatoon 3 but bayonetta 3 came up at 41 1285 units now We need some context for those numbers so bayonetta 2 that came out on Wii U So we're talking with the Wii U release now the switch one the Wii U release had about 39,000 units sold so that means this basically sold 2,000 more units and bayonetta 2 on a platform That is significantly more popular. I don't know about you that doesn't bode well for bayonetta 3 at least when it comes to well Japan We'll see obviously it could be evergreen it could have a long tail of sales It also could have sold incredibly well in the West but right now these are not that impressive of numbers You gotta remember Kamiya recently thanked Nintendo for even allowing bayonetta 3 to exist Suggesting that bayonetta 2 lost money So Nintendo funding the third one was certainly not guaranteed and he really thanked Nintendo for letting it happen Here's hoping the Western sales pick up for this one Otherwise, I have to wonder if this is the last we're going to see of the umbra which next up We have a brand new trailer for sonic frontiers called showdown And yeah, it does exactly what you would expect the showdown to do It's a him facing off against a bunch of new enemies showing off a couple new locales and bosses and ending with you know the Supersonic going against a giant robot punching thing. It's a pretty cool But what I actually wanted to know here while we're watching that trailer is we find on the sonic frontiers is using FSR just like some of Nintendo's games such as Nintendo switch sports and life is strange true colors Which is also using it on switch and we don't know what version of FSR it's using we would obviously prefer it uses 2.0 But we haven't seen that implemented on switch yet So it's highly likely it's using 1.0 which uses spatial upscaling for a small resolution boost So I'm really glad just that the game's using it because that's good obviously make it look better on Nintendo switch I think it's always better to use FSR 1.0 than not to Now again, we don't know which version it is Maybe we got fortunate and they decided to heavily invest and go with 2.0 But it's likely the 1.0 version I think FSR 2.0 and above is something we could see on future Nintendo hardware now stop the presses Nintendo has announced their holiday deals and their switch bundle is Amazing it is the greatest bundle of all time at least in one context Yeah, the Nintendo switch bundle is just the Mario Kart 8 deluxe bundle not even with a switch OLED It's with the red box switch. It's the neon red and blue and it includes three months of NSO You know the same switch bundle they've been running since holiday 2017 it costs $300. This is the same price. It's the same bundle all they've done over time is add three months of NSO In because NSO didn't exist back in 2017, but yeah It's the greatest holiday bundle of all time because this will now be what 2017 2018 2019 2020 21 2022 this will now be six holiday seasons that this bundle has survived and probably gonna sell well That makes it pretty amazing in one regard. It's got a lot of longevity Not because it's a great deal or because Nintendo has a lot of creativity around the holidays next up though Nintendo did announce $20 off of select Nintendo switch games are physical or digital So Mario Party Superstars Breath of the Wild Animal Crossing New Horizons Link's Awakening Fire Emblem Warriors three hopes and bravely default to so a couple of those in there are nice to see But the rest are kind of your usual lot There's gonna be 33% off digital and physical copies of WarioWare get it together and big brain Academy They're also knocking $40 off of Mario Kart home circuit now making that a more affordable $59.99 versus the $100 it usually costs look I think these deals are good that they exist, but also they're not extremely impressive and Nintendo continues to Not really care about doing a lot around the holidays and just hoping that their IP and platform is popular enough that it's gonna sell Well, I don't know. We'll see this might not be the holiday season that Nintendo does best unless Pokemon Really helps push switch sales this holiday next up Mario Plus Rabbids announced their DLC plan if you have bought the gold version You got the season pass or even if you don't we have some details here for you So let's just look at the graphic first of you the DLC part one that's landing in early 2023 This includes the Tower of Doom and it says face your doom in a new combat game mode So that should be pretty pretty interesting DLC pass 2 is gonna be coming in middle of 2023 So we're likely summer and it says that heroes confront a mysterious foe on a new enchanting planet So a new planet to be an added new foe. Maybe a new playable character We'll see and DLC part 3 that has Rayman comes late 2023 2023 and you see it says Rayman rabbit peach and rabbit Mario embark on their own adventure now It's interesting that we're kind of stuck using those certain characters Maybe Mario isn't allowed to team up with Rayman. Maybe Rayman becomes playable in the whole game afterwards Anyways, I have no idea But this is pretty exciting stuff the DLC 2 and 3 can be bought individually You can only have DLC part 1 if you have the season pass or you bought the gold version which includes the season pass Yeah, I don't know. I'm really excited for this stuff You know as someone who's yearning for more content for this game already. Hey early 2023 Tower of Doom. No, dude I'm there man. I'm already there. I'm already waiting. I'm already ready right after I finish off Fire Emblem Engage Now our last story I told you we're talking about PlayStation and it's quite interesting because we're talking about God of War Ragnarok That's right. It comes out in a handful of days It just had its review scores dropped and it got a 94 on Metacritic Sort of confirming that it's going to be the top competition with Elden Ring for game of the year reminder Elden Ring got a 96 on Metacritic Notably the 94 is exactly what God of War 2018 received those that love the game So just checking out some of the reviews find that it's better than 2018 game in almost every way Those that criticize it say it relies on the same story pacing and beats as the first one But now that it's spread over a much larger and more expansive world It loses intimacy and just doesn't work as well Some wonder if the formula set up in 2018 is getting old for what it's worth I would love for a formula to get old while my game is still getting a 94 on Metacritic and going to be a bestseller I'm sure most studios would accept our formulas getting old if that's the result Anyways, it makes you wonder a smidge if for some critics anyways If they're gonna say the same thing about tears of the kingdom next year when they compared to Breath of the Wild Yeah, I mean hey is the formula getting old is it's not working for you anymore after using the same storytelling Aspect is that not working for you. It's gonna be quite interesting to see Obviously, if you don't know enough about tears of the kingdom But right now God of War right now It's looking to be a game of the year contender and honestly Can it did throne Elden Ring? I don't know I honestly don't know but it's gonna be right there Me personally. I'm also hoping that maybe Zenoblade 3 and or Bayonetta 3 one of those to get into the mix as well I don't think they have a chance to beat out God of War or Elden Ring I think these are the two top contenders, but still hey I wanted to let you know because this is a major PlayStation 5 game It's been a bit since we got one last one was Horizon Forbidden West earlier this year. So whoa, there we go Anyways, folks, thank you so much for tuning in. I am Nathan and RoboJance from Nintendo Prime That was our Prime 5 today, and you know what? We're gonna catch you guys in the next video
