 Here everyone welcome to another episode of prime comments and before we get into your comments today We have some good stuff here I want to mention that we have relaunched our Nintendo Prime net website and I say relaunch kind of loosely We're actually working on some new stuff behind the scenes To really bring Nintendo Prime to life, but there's no part of that is back There will be new stories there like this story we have. Did you know gaming how they released a new video today? Talking about unknown things with Nintendo GameCube These are the kind of stories you can expect to find at nintendoprime.net that we're just not going to be talking about here on YouTube YouTube we aren't going to post like 10 videos a day We're gonna probably increase our production up to two to three videos per day But yeah, Nintendo Prime and that's where we're gonna have all the Nintendo news including stuff we talk about here It's also the home of our forums I think at forums.nintendoprime.net or you can go to nintendoprime.net and click on forums But yeah, and I have a post talking about all the plans I have for Nintendo Prime beyond YouTube And I'll have a link to that down in the description for you guys to check out But yeah, I'm really excited about this direction for Nintendo Prime You're gonna be seeing a lot of content coming out of Nintendo Prime now both at YouTube the website patreon And yeah our forums. I'm really pushing things through here and I'm hoping by the end of the year We're talking about this really bright future for Nintendo Prime in 2018 But whatever let's get right into Prime comments. We have so much to talk about this week I think I got 12 different comments to go through. Let's just hop right into it as fast as we can rapid fire First thing we're to talk about is the podcast this past week we had two episodes of a podcast or two parts of a podcast go up instead of a full podcast and most of the comments were Generally dealing with My treatment of Eric and cutting him off and we just reached our stretch goal on patreon for this past week So that podcast was recorded before the stretch goal And I'm noting that because we have a new podcast coming out this week that I think you guys are gonna love We have a special guest on which I'm really excited to to bring to you guys and I'm hoping that you agree that The podcast now that we've reached our goal has changed I'm getting better that I'm maybe talking more directly into the microphone. That's something I'm working on Although I noticed this week my audio is a little low So I'm gonna have to adjust that on the mixer over here for next time But yeah, it's a Definitely something that I am personally excited about the direction of the podcast and I apologize if it felt like I was rude Eric doesn't think I'm being rude or anything. He's my best buddy. He knows the deal He doesn't in the past some early podcasts when I tried to let him talk He didn't really have anything to say so I really had to carry the podcast But now he's he has gotten more into the flow and paid a lot more attention to Nintendo And has a switch and is all involved in that stuff He's got more to say and I have to do a better job. We'll let him do it. Thanks for your feedback. Now. Let's move on So the first video with your comments is Nintendo is defeating the SNES classic scalpers by meeting demand As always links to every topic we bring up is in the description below No, okay, but this is a just checking in to say last night I checked brick seek and my local Walmart showed is having 22 I drove up went in and 15 minutes later walked out with my SNES classic never got an NES classic So I'm very pleased with the supply on this one. Good luck guys And that's where the general gist of it is that a lot of people are like, oh, but it was still sold out Of course, it was still sold out. It's a brand new piece of technology like any brand new piece of tech It's sold out almost every brand new piece of tech that anyone cares to own is sold out day one My local GameStop has already gotten a restock. In fact, if I had the money again yesterday I could have walked in and bought one And I understand that obviously supply is different in different areas or people that said Oh, I was in a town of 40,000 people and I only had 22 units available at each different retail store You remember how many units were available the NES classic each one of those retail stores at launch? Guarantee you it was less than 22 especially since most of those retail stores also took pre-orders So what you have to remember is you have to keep it all in perspective, right? And perspective is that the supply nintendo's Statement that they would increase supply was correct And again, a lot of these retail stores should be in the next two weeks Getting restocks, which is a month and a half quicker than the NES classic got restocked. We have to keep that in mind as well So yeah, let's let's wait till the restocks it, but I'm very confident nintendo delivered on their launch promise And I am guaranteeing you right now They're going to deliver on their promise of having plenty of these units available this holiday Patience people patience And this is just a prime example of someone who had a hard time getting the NES classic day one But was able to walk in and there was a lot more units available than there were of the NES classic. So moving on Uh another video from this past week FIFA 18 switch hits Sales a 1 percent of total FIFA sales in uk during launch week I had some hot take opinions on that, uh, which some people kind of didn't agree with So cookie cook games said this is a except it's sold out for switch on amazon and game in the uk Which means it must have reached their expectations Surely also was the number one selling switch game in the uk Also, the switch in the uk has nowhere near the install base at the playstation 4 and xbox one It's reaching number one in the switch chart should be enough It's about attach weight at this point now raw numbers seriously considering this top the switch physical chart And got the number two in the e shop in the uk It's doing okay considering the numbers of actual switches out there. You've made yourself look like an idiot By not doing your research first So that I say it is correct that I didn't do uh enough research on this one It doesn't change my stance until I get concrete sales numbers and we get, uh ea Committee more games. I'm gonna stand by what I said because We have to remember that ea has a history of treating, uh, nintendo poorly and Essentially for fifa, you know my bold statement was that fifa's a flop We'll know if fifa's a flop regardless like I even mentioned in the comments where if it sells over a million units I'm happy, but it's not about if I'm happy. It's about if ea is happy So we'll know if fifa was a flop if ea announces more games for switch If they don't announce more games for switch then fifa was clearly a flop So we should know as soon as I don't know Heck bare minimum We would know if they announced a new fifa for next year for switch Which again, we probably wouldn't find out took closer to e3. So yeah, um I don't know what else to say to that The the fifa situation in the uk seems to be really weird In terms of like no physical copies being available. That's really going to hinder things Obviously, there's been supply constraints to switch yourself and it's the first year But again, uh ea is going to be the one that ultimately determines if it was a flop or not Not me not you not anybody else. I happen to think it's going to be a flop But I want to be wrong. I said this in many comments. I want to be wrong I don't want to be right. I want fifa to be a success regardless of my criticisms So we get more of the titles from ea. I know a lot of people have this feeling. Oh, we don't need ea games I disagree ea has a lot of high quality games just because they've screwed up some games Doesn't mean all their games are messed up and I want their content moving on Uh another video from this past week a seven year old spaz is out over to the nintendo switch as his dreams come true I know there's some people that took uh It's an issue of my word spaz because in some countries that word has a very negative connotation And even one of the definitions in the united states has a negative connotation But to me spaz uh growing up and just culturally where i'm from in the united states spaz you know Is it akin to freaking out and I probably should have put freaking out But then freaking out also can have some negative connotations although it's more commonly used So I don't know it's kind of this weird thing up in the air But uh in general it's just he was extremely excited and I needed a way to summarize that in one word so Let's uh look at what the the comment on this one was and this comes from pica plays hd Uh people need to leave the kid alone. He's a child. Of course. He's gonna get excited I think it's great that he gets to experience something wonderful like this and he's clearly grateful He loves it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that are people not allowed nice things now the negative reaction actually baffles me And it wasn't a negative reaction on our video. This was a negative reaction From some of the other places that I found this video at And uh, some people like judging that the kids shouldn't be spazzing out the kids shouldn't be parents should be slapping that kid around Making them stop acting that way acting that was inappropriate kids materialistic blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and honestly, uh I'm a parent so obviously I feel like I have a right to give advice to other parents But I don't have a right to tell parents how to raise their kids I'm only going to give parents advice if they want advice And in this case, I'm just going to tell people who think they know better to stop it You know, I almost thought about saying He who uh He who has no sin cast the first song, but I don't think what the kid is did it was simple in the first place I don't think what those parents did was wrong. Uh, I am extremely excited that kid got excited We all should be excited and I think it is shameful that people Judge that kid based on a single video. He's a kid being a kid Uh, and I understand that not all kids are as privileged as that kid to be able to live in a nice home To have nice things like a nintendo switch To have even a mother and a father and a sister. I understand that not everyone is in that situation, but we shouldn't be Uh Punishing a kid because of the situation you grew up with and the things you experience with life Uh, that's the kind of situation. I hope I find my children in all the time I hope my kids are freak out and get really excited about things they get and are appreciative of it because Not everyone can have those things And I try to instill that in my children that just because you have this really nice thing doesn't mean everyone's going to get it So moving forward Another video from our past week Was square enix manager arrested for stealing and selling 3ds units and I noted that I wish this was fake I still wish this was fake And gabin rogerson had this to say the guy's a hustler. What can you say the risk is part of the high? unfortunately sometimes um, and I I actually agree with that comment that I think Part of the reason he did it wasn't so much he needed the money, but because It was exciting for him to get away with it And I can relate to this and this isn't a story. I've really told hardly anyone It's not something you generally want employers to find out about But when I was younger and when I'm saying younger I was 18 Uh, I'm 31 now. So I'm a lot older, but when I was 18, uh, I worked at kmart a local kmart It's no longer open. Uh, but I stole from them. I stole several things from them. I eventually got caught Interestingly enough, uh, I got the the item I got caught stealing was a nintendo ds No, I did not need the nintendo ds. I already owned a legal nintendo ds But I wasn't doing it because I needed the items. Uh, in fact, everything I stole was in the trunk of my car So when they caught me they only knew of like a handful of things I had stolen and obviously the ds Was the most valuable thing I stole Uh, but literally, uh, I instantly confessed to everything I had taken and literally handed it was all still not even out of its packaging all in my trunk. I gave it all back Um, and because I gave it all back and because I confessed to all the stuff that they didn't even have evidence for Um, and my mom obviously crying a lot about it. It got expunged off my record So employers can't look it up. Although now if they watch this video, they're going to know that it happened No, I regret it. Um, I was depressed at the time and it's not an excuse because we all we all have high emotions in our Teenage years and my girlfriend of five years had left me and I had no direction in my life And blah blah blah blah blah So I stole as a means to be excited nothing was getting me excited video games weren't even getting me excited But stealing and getting away with it was and once I got caught It's not just you know that it was wrong because I got caught It would have been wrong even after the fact if I had never gotten caught for it I'm probably what if I was I was the I'm the kind of person that Even if I would have never got caught as soon as I would have left that job and moved on in life I would have turned around and probably confessed anyways and handed all the items back hoping they didn't get the police involved But if they did it is what it is. I deserve punishment. So yeah, it's uh, I understand that high I get it. I don't know where he was in his life to do that. Obviously for me. I was a young man He's an older gentleman doing it. So I don't know what could have prompted that excitement, but I get it I understand it I hope you learned from it And I hope all of you guys learned from my experience too just because I had some thrill from it It wasn't worth it The fines I had to pay and the stress I put my family through the stress I put myself through and the fact that I lost my job When at the time I really needed that job. So yeah Moving on and obviously, uh, it could have never got expunged off my record which would have prevented me from uh From getting better jobs moving on We did an unboxing this week how to not put together the link breath of the wild nendoroid I don't do a lot of unboxings But this felt like the kind of item that should be unboxed and Hyrule gamer had this to say I need to get me one of these that look so cool and I would love to display them in my collection That's really the purpose to buy it is for collector's value. It's not a toy. You don't play with it Um, the parts themselves are actually kind of cheap and this is kind of true of all officially licensed things Generally, they're pretty cheap But once you get it in the pose you want, it's really really awesome It could just take a lot of work One of the hands I actually need the the reason I can't do any pose with the bow Is one of the hands the the actual hand that holds the bow Um, doesn't actually stay in any of the arms the the it's not even my fault. I can't make this out of the box Uh, it has no grip when you stick it in it just sits there and the moment you touch it It just falls out. Uh, and you could fix that yourself if you want to make it permanent You can glue it in. I don't want to make it permanent. Uh, but yeah, so it's That's something to be aware with items like this. I don't think it really devalues it per se Um The joy of these items are the multiple poses you can put in it not necessarily the ability to play with it It's great for photography and it's great just to make it and set it on your shelf somewhere Uh, so yeah Cool stuff. I'm glad you liked it moving on Uh another video from this past week is what if instead of releasing the we Nintendo winter party, uh a continuation of our what if series And Raymond bra had this to say One flaw people arguing over best console equal console wars equal annoying bickering Then arguing over games equal game wars equal annoying bickering You can't win people will complain and get salty about anything and everything Gaming is for all ages every year a bunch of nine year olds get their first console and complain online It will never end Huh how to address this There's obviously kids that are going to complain and overreact I think a lot of the overreaction you see online you'll find are surprisingly from people that are older than you think Uh, I think a lot of people grow up um Kind of immature and that's really a youth thing, right? It's not just like a nine year old There are teenagers 16 70 18 year olds that are really immature and there are some that are really matured as well Uh, and that doesn't necessarily mean parent team was bad Just we all go through different way different, you know forms in our lives And we ebb and flow and my kids now have to grow up During the social media and internet age when I was a teenager when like facebook came out and facebook was college exclusive Then so I had a wait till I got accepted to a college to even use it nowadays They're going to be on facebook, you know as soon as they realize how to trick the age thing and make an account Uh, same seems going to be true with youtube and everything else out there Uh, and thankfully because of what I do for a living, I'm highly in tune with that side of things I'm not a parent that's out of touch with all that stuff, uh, which is awesome But yeah, I I don't know kids are going to be kids people are going to complain console wars and game wars are always going to exist I mean, I still remember a whole bunch of people arguing back and forth about horizons zero dawn Crapping all over the breath of the wild and breath of the world crapping all over horizons zero dawn Yeah, these are both fantastic games We you know that the only reason people are even debating that stuff is because one's exclusive to Nintendo One's exclusive to sony and it all boils down to console wars and people wanting to justify the purchase of their consoles Guess what? You don't need to justify the purchase of your console to anyone but yourself As long as you're happy with your system and the games you're playing on it It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks That's what I always tell everyone whether or not you love pc playstation xbox Uh, ouya even uh switch 3ds for you It does not matter what matters is that you enjoy the system you have If you don't enjoy it and you feel like you need to go on the internet and try to justify it Then you probably don't enjoy it and you probably should Be looking at other spectrums or maybe you don't even enjoy gaming as much anymore I don't know. I can't I might you I can't tell you how you feel but uh, don't tell other people What they should and shouldn't enjoy You know what I mean? I mean let them read reviews and stuff Don't go around saying they're wrong because they like something more than something else or whatever Let them have their opinions opinions are okay All right moving on Uh the next video from this past week is nintendo switch is going to win holiday 2017 It was a hot take. I have no, you know proof that's going to happen and pc game boy I had this to say a very interesting comment Uh, loving the switch. I am a pc gamer primarily and I honestly have looked at my steam library of 500 plus games Then I look at my switch and grab my switch to play something Not saying my pc isn't superior in many ways it is But the switch really has a lot of games that have been getting my attention and currently playing golf story as I listen to this video The game is driving me crazy because I am terrible at golf games But it's still really fun and I keep coming back to it I just beat steam world dig 2 on it a few days ago Indie games have always been on my pc But now I have decided to get them on my switch because they play just as good as my pc But I can play them anywhere. I mean it's a given And in all the exclusives and it's just a really good console I just haven't paid attention to the other platforms when on my pc as I have with my switch It has this pull on me where I am glancing at it. Well on my pc playing pug g or something This console is really special. It is special and I think um I probably have some bias here because I have a nice pc granted. It's for editing, but I can game on it as well um Where pc and switch is kind of like the perfect combination, but again, there is no perfect combination of anything It's going to matter what what's your preferred method of play What games do you enjoy? I mean like as an example, I love madden Madden is not on nintendo system and it's not on pc So by default I have to own an xbox or playstation 4 if I would want to play Madden And there's other games I want to play as well tons of games on playstation 4 I haven't played that I want to do There's even tons of games on xbox one that I haven't played that I want to do Couldn't see if these coming out whether that you like that game or not. I think it looks good. I played it at e3. It looks exciting Um, but yeah, it's uh, it's very interesting The effect switch has been having on people who own other platforms including pc And I'm glad that you're enjoying your switch and it's not making you abandon your pc But it's making you realize uh that it provides something that that the platform that you enjoy doesn't so awesome Moving on tenth video or so from this past new nintendo switch production has ramped up to insane levels That are due to million a month reportedly Um and duty 294 this is a hey Can I just say I prefer the older format with gameplay instead of you not to insult you or anything But I don't like this way of making videos So yeah, um for a while I was experimenting with having me on camera and doing some things because that's the direction I want to take the channel In fact, I could tell you right now some day in the future some probably sometime in 2018 Almost every single video Is going to have me on camera in some capacity as we upgrade as we get new equipment as we get New cameras I hire editors yada yada yada, but until then here's the format We're going to do moving forward. So it's not confusing or as confusing anymore all news related videos are going to be Voice over over gameplay. So I'm going to play a game on my switch most likely It's always going to be a game available on a nintendo platform Play it on a nintendo platform as well I'm not going to download a game on 3ds on my pc and then record that I want it to be representative of what the game is like on a nintendo platform to nintendo fans So it'll be a game available on a nintendo platform Um, and it'll just have me talking about the news over the gameplay. You guys know what it's like It's the videos I've been doing for all year. You guys you guys get it. That's what news videos are going to be like discussion videos Are going to typically be Uh me on camera doing the more presenter style where I'm because it's my opinion I'm presenting my opinion. I'll probably have some notes on a piece of paper Make sure I hit some key points Try to keep it as raw as I can and I'm sorry bump the camera But yeah, that's what we're going to do for that with the green screen and all that stuff Our podcast is always going to be in person video as well But you could definitely tell the difference between that video type of video and the discussion video and the news video I'm also going to try to note it in the thumbnails Whereas like if you see a thumbnail that has me in the thumbnail, that's a discussion video The podcast has its own kind of thumbnail and the thumbnail that doesn't have me in it will be a news video Now there are exceptions to this. We just did a discussion video on Uh The nintendo world championships that wasn't news That was a discussion oriented video and because that was a discussion oriented video But was about something that has physical video of and I felt it was better to show Video of the nintendo world championships than to have me on screen for that video But again, that wasn't voice over over gameplay. That was voice over over the actual event. We're talking about So that could still happen with discussion videos as well As an example if I happen to be making a discussion video about a particular game And I happen to own that game You're probably going to see voice over over gameplay for that because it's more relevant than me on screen But when it's something that i'm passionately talking about that isn't necessarily Strictly about gameplay or something you're going to see me and we're going to have a good time Any other types of videos might be intermixed stuff. We'll see Everything's kind of up in the air at this point beyond our standard daily video content So yeah, thank you. Thank you for your feedback. Um, I always take the stuff into consideration I know there were people that love that format So just so you know that format is going to come back sometime in the future When I can war readily and easily create at a consistent pace Moving on Um, ea asked why fifa 18 on switch doesn't allow online play with friends They basically avoided the entire question and uh z Torm rage hero had this to say what a surprise ea avoided the question capcom included this in monster hunter double cross lazy lazy ea And i'm i'm torn on this in the video I said that I kind of lay the lay the blame on nintendo's feet But obviously there are third party games that have Uh, the ability to play with friends It's a big missing feature fifa 18 a big missing feature in mba 2k 18 So we could talk about lazy devs lazy this lazy that Reality is none of us are behind the scenes. We're all making presumptions based on Information both publicly available and maybe information we have from contacts like I have Some game developer friends I've talked to and they said that it can actually be a deterrent But then we have people who think oh that's bs because these are the third party games do it and nintendo games do it Well, I mean nintendo games are kind of their own separate thing and have their own separate issues by the way with hollyhandle multiplayer But yeah, it's uh, it's an interesting thing and thank you for your comment Maybe it is ea's fault entirely. I we don't know Someone needs to comment on it But no one's going to and we're probably never going to comment on because if ea actually responded properly They either make the nintendo look bad themselves look bad or themselves and nintendo look bad It's better to avoid the question It's it's a classic reggie way when you ask when you kind of trap reggie with a question Where there's a high chances response would upset people you just kind of avoids the question and talks around it That's what ea did. So, uh, yeah, that that could mean something bad somewhere or it could mean nothing We're never going to know Moving on on nintendo world championships the final winner from this week. I as I mentioned before Uh, reminding me why I love nintendo and tried on 64 I have this to say nintendo world championship 2017 was so much fun to watch My wife and I were both glued to the tv and hope nintendo keeps going I think every two years is fine as having it yearly would diminish its appeal Jordan was amazing as the league commentator and kept things interesting between games I never felt like there was too much talking as the game knowledge of every commentator was outstanding and on Point a very professional job by nintendo and one of the reasons I love them and their games so much I could see nintendo using this as a sort of stepping stone to a bigger event One where there is a 12 and under category as I mentioned. So, yeah, um, obviously I love the nintendo world championships I didn't catch all four hours of it. Although, uh, I've called like three and a half There's just a little period in the middle that I didn't catch that I'm going to actually go back and watch after I'm done with this video But yeah, I thought they did an excellent job It was interesting seeing a lot of people commenting on this video that they didn't that they're talking too much They you have to understand this is a live event right because it's live and because there's one stage And not multiple stages which would suck for like you don't bring to bring an in-person crowd And have a stage in front a stage on the left stage on the right stage behind Because they are doing all they're playing all these very very different types of games on very very different systems And have to have different setups For doing that and because you have different setups for that You have to take you have to set things up tear things down and you're doing all of this in a live setting And this is what led to some of the technical difficulties that had for like a little five minute period in there They actually had some real legit technical difficulties that delayed one of the competitions and uh, they made that know they didn't hide that they mentioned they were having technical difficulties So it wasn't like you saw them stretching out the talking To hide that that was happening. Uh, they were very transparent with that. So everyone knew what was going on Uh, what was nice. So is that yeah, these are nintendo treehouse people They Well, you can see from when they first appeared at e3 a few years ago to now They have gotten better and better and better at speaking into cameras speaking to an online audience and an in-person audience And they've really stepped up their game. Uh, they know what they're talking about because they worked on these games They have intimate knowledge and while some of the stuff might seem boring and mundane explaining How a mario kart works how to drift how to do this? We have to remember that they are they are broadcasting this to a really wide audience Including people that might not know these things about these games So them even going over some of the basics is important Uh, and I felt their commentary during the matches was great Right on power with some of the best commentary I've seen watching professional smash bros tournaments and seeing some of the commentary there. I felt the commentary was great Obviously, there wasn't like those big. Oh my gosh moments, you know the overexciting moments, but uh, it was fun It was fun. They were very professional about it. I think everyone there enjoyed it everyone They got in that tournament got to take home Sweet stuff, you know swag, of course They looked like everyone had a t-shirt and a really really cool sweatshirt Which I believe if you go to the nintendo world store, those are actually kind of pricey So they got they got that free swag on nintendo paid for their trip out And I think they paid for their hotel stay plus food So basically nintendo if you qualified for this they basically took care of everything for you To make sure you could attend or you and your family, especially if you're a younger person Obviously your family would have to come with you if you're in the under 12 category And as I said, I feel like they should have an under 12 and then an over 12 or yes over 12 You know is is probably going to be have a larger crowd at under 12 But whatever that way you have two nintendo world champions instead of throwing them together or you can have like an under 12 And you could have the uh over 12 and then the ultimate champions from those can play against each other at the end And they each could take home a trophy and then there's like the grand ultimate trophy Um, and then you make sure uh, the only way that would work Obviously is that it needs to be a game that we don't even know about it It would have to be a surprise game that no one knows how to play yet Uh to put them on an even playing field They did that with super mario odyssey But obviously people have been able to play it and you could kind of tell right away that there was more knowledge By one person than the other on how the mechanics worked and how they play it But then that person oddly enough john numbers ended up losing. So, uh, yeah, it was uh, really really interesting watching everything unfold Um, just just great fun. I love it. Thank you nintendo so much for it And I want to thank everyone again for tuning into another episode of prime comments And I didn't mention it much before I mentioned again You could always support us at patreon.com slash nintendo prime We just got another five dollar backer, which means right now actually That person and several other people who have backed us have access to a podcast the podcast I've talked about coming this week with our special guest on our new formatted episode And yeah, uh, they're listening to it right now or have already listened to it And you guys are only going to get it in segments throughout the week So that's the only way right now to currently listen to the full audio podcast.
