 What a week, huh? We obviously had a bit of a rough go of it this week Just as Nintendo fans in general, right? It was a partially exciting week because we finally got Nintendo's E3 plans confirmed 40 minute direct three Hours of epic treehouse goodness. I got to find the organize a bit of our E3 schedule and get that out to you guys as well I hope you're still planning to check us out during E3. We have a really big show going on But this isn't to talk about that I already did a dedicated video on that and obviously we'll have different announcements and stuff like that happening over the course of the next week Including who's gonna be getting opportunities to play against us for prizes during E3 Obviously, we could talk about more of the items that will be given away during E3, but That's either here nor there. What I want to focus on today is the week that was well All about that switch pro really I Am as Upset or disappointed or let down by the lack of a switch pro announcement as the rest of you and we need to talk about why we Expected a switch pro announcement this last week in the first place and then get into why well I mean honestly, I'm like you make some of you guys I'm still gonna be like holding my breath every day every hour of this next upcoming week and every day until It gets announced because I am someone who does believe the switch pro Actually exists. I don't think people like Takahashi Matsuzuki have just been lying for years He has sources at manufacturing That is something that obviously is a legit thing and then obviously there's game developer sources And we're getting some of that word from Tom Phillips a news editor at Eurogamer who you know responded to someone on Twitter Just yesterday saying hey a lot of the fervor around this is that he knows people that are actually making games for the switch pro or that are going to take advantage of the switch pro and They're kind of getting frustrated by the fact that Nintendo won't even release like a one-line Announcement about a new device so they could start showing their games running on it because they obviously Have information when of what when this device is going to come out which it sounds like this year So there is a bit of tepidation as well with the developers at least the ones that are planning to Release games on it and want to use this e3 marketing opportunity To do so and Takahashi Matsuzuki actually talked about that in his original Bloomberg report Where he mentioned that hey one of the reasons that he feels That there's a good chance it gets revealed before e3 is because third-party companies have put a little bit of pressure on Nintendo to reveal It now so they could actually talk about their games during the time when gamers are paying the most attention But obviously we know that Nintendo does beat to the beat of their own drum And if you think about prior announcements for other revisions and switch aka the switch light They did that on July 10th, and it was shadow dropped and nobody knew it was coming and yeah Takahashi Matsuzuki actually warned us that we were gonna get this device and people tried You know dig it up patents and all the shadows But nothing about the patents really lined up with what the device was and then everything that Takahashi Matsuzuki said The device was turned out to be true when it was revealed and he actually talked about that during June of 2019 about how Nintendo has this light device coming all all the you know how it's gonna be user Upgraded or a shrunk down SOC How it was going to you know have non detachable joy cons and it won't you won't be able to dock it and pretty much I gave us an idea what the form factor was gonna be like and how it was gonna be a little bit smaller and Turned out that he was completely right at all of it I think he even teased what colors were gonna be at launch and a lot of this came from manufacturing sources But also a couple developers that had access to it at the time Just because I don't really know why nothing in development really changed with this new device Maybe for battery life purposes because you know it did at the time have better battery life than the original switch Obviously they then move the SOC into the you know current You know normal version of switches and red box version which is what this is all these are third-party joy cons on here, but still We're left in this funny place where Takahashi machizuki set the table and he's such a trusted reliable source of information getting things from game developers and getting things From manufacturing sources in Japan That it kind of leads into this whole Kerfuffle around the switch pro because then Tom Phillips came out and backed up the reporting. They said Europe gamer has independently verified Exactly what Takahashi machizuki has been saying about the switch pro and he was the first person to actually use the words That it would be unveiled Eminently and that word Eminently is really what got the internet in a tizzy because Takahashi machizuki just said it's likely to be revealed Before e3 he didn't even guarantee it would be but obviously that was already getting people in a tizzy saying okay this past week Okay, next week in fact a lot of our base Expectations for it maybe even revealed next week is because Takahashi machizuki is such a reliable You know person a writer a researcher an editorial writer a news reporter for Bloomberg Previously Wall Street Journal is where as a prior element We're gonna have some big name places that there's still people that expect it next week just because of what he said Even though he never guaranteed it would be revealed before e3 He just knows that there's a lot of pressure on Nintendo for it and feels that it's likely to be revealed before that and again Tom Phillips used the word Eminently and that really just got the internet going and then all of course you had all the insiders Kind of hopping on this train Emily Rogers Reconfirming all this information as well also using the word imminent Then you had obviously That guy from the Xbox era podcast saying Thursday we have retailers getting some stuff up some of them fake some of them real About you know taking pre-orders. We have customer service lines right now doing really weird things So there's been all these reports coming out that oh Best Buy customer service is saying They'll be taking pre-orders on this day I'm June 18th was one date that was thrown on there on Amazon customer service rep said June 8th All these customer service reps by the way have no idea when these products are coming out If you wonder why I haven't made a video on this stuff event You know dozens of people send me all their DMs and personal conversations with these customer service reps I went out and started talking to these customer service reps as well and got very similar information Basically go to customer support on Amazon or Best Buy dot com etc And you do a little chat room with them and you ask them about the new Nintendo device And when it's going to be available pre-order and they eventually toss out a date And maybe it's because there is a date in their back end systems. I don't know what I do know is these are just You know bottom-rung people at these companies that might just also be giving you something so to leave you alone Or leave you satisfied so you give them a good review Uh, you know they actually have incentives to to maybe do that I'm not saying they're lying to you guys I'm just saying that is it really reliable when we're hearing different days, June 8th, June 18th I think I saw June 24th at one point and these are all for when they'll take pre-orders I honestly and I've subscribed to this until Takahashi Matsuzuki made his article That if it was going to come out around the same time the switch light did in September That it would be announced in July and if it's going to come out this holiday season Then it would be announced in September. That's what I was kind of subscribing to this whole time until Takahashi Matsuzuki opened his mouth So here we are now where everyone is all disappointed everyone's upset and I get it Whether you are someone who was super super hyped And and and just got felt like you were let down felt like you were lied to Or whether you're someone who hey, I've been saying the switch pro has faked this whole time And now I'm going to revel in all these people that are upset I don't know that any of these, you know attitudes are actually Conductive to being positive The bottom line is We have too many reliable people saying that this thing exists and A lot of the flak is being directed not at Takahashi Matsuzuki Not even at Tom Phillips who was the first person to use the word eminently It's being tossed out at a lot of the content creators. It's being tossed out At some of the supposed insiders, you know, whether it's Emily Rogers or this nick guy from xbox era or Whether it's, you know, I don't know Nate the hate out there who put out there a little twitter storm himself saying that hey, he's not as confident about the information He had a week ago You know today and that, you know, he doesn't feel like it's going to be revealed before e3 You know, maybe they end up showing, uh, you know at summer game fest Jeff keely was able to get the xbox series x reveal at the game award So why can we, you know dismiss that or is it possible that we're going to get a twitter drop? Any day is it possible that despite nintendo saying hey, there's going to be a focus on software That would actually make it even more shocking to unveil it at e3 Right, and I'm not even seeing that these things are going to happen I'm just throwing out there that we don't really know and As much as I've talked, you know over the last couple days where we all need to take responsibility for our own hype We need a hype responsibly Obviously, I've realized the role that I play in that and the role these insiders play in that the role that Takahashi machizuki and tom phillips and the media planet jason schreyer has actually gone out there and basically You know said hey, he knows that this thing is real as well. This isn't fake news. It's just kind of a hey, you know there's a lot of anticipation For one this thing's going to be unveiled not only by nintendo fans But by the developers that are touching on games and there has been some pressure put on nintendo to unveil it and nintendo is just Maybe concerned about unveiling it too soon Not because the system's not ready to show off because if it is going into mass production Which by the way, you don't have to believe emily rogers when she said oh, it's going into mass production now I mean heck takashi machizuki himself said by july it's going to go into mass production So she's kind of just regurgitating information that's already out there if you're if we're just honest about it So look if this thing is real, which i'm in the camp that it is I think you know especially when you set aside the the twitter leakers insiders Uh, you know people on reset era reddit doesn't really matter when you set them aside and you just focus on Okay, who are the people that would have contacts? Who are the people that it is their job to find out this information? Well, that's what you have takahashi machizuki tom phillips and jason schryer for and all of them agree even jeff grove agree This thing is real Okay, so the question is When is nintendo going to unveil it? And the reality is nobody knows Nobody actually knows nobody has heard from a nintendo representative when this thing's going to be Revealed and the frustrating part is that all these reporters out there are just going off of the information they have available Third party, you know people that are actually working on games You know have been saying that they feel like this thing is going to be revealed soon because they know around the time It's coming out, you know takahashi machizuki set the table for that september or october That could be revealed now Of course when they released in september last time, you know, they run veiled in july So if it's going to be in september one day unveil in july if it's going to be in october one day unveil in August You know, why would nintendo give us an even longer runway to release when it could actually hurt switch sales And i think that's what nintendo is ultimately worried about if this platform is coming out in september Why would they announce it before july if this platform is coming out in october? Why would they announce it before august if they announce it too soon it can actually kill hype remember nintendo's got games to sell They got systems to sell they got mario golf super rush coming out this month They got skyward sword hd coming out next month and as much as the hype would be built for this this thing We've been built for this anticipation and felt burned and burned and burned to the point that Many of us are just starting to be like hey, maybe this thing just isn't real We got to remember that A lot of our belief that this thing was coming soon started with takahashi machizuki Was exasperated by tom phillips and then obviously all these insiders You know kind of hopped on the train And obviously we as youtube content creators did the best that we could I don't know what more could be expected Setting aside all the insiders tom phillips said it's imminent Takahashi machizuki said it's likely to be revealed before e3 That was unknown enough for me to get hyped probably enough for you guys to get hyped as well So the question is what do we do moving forward? Well, we got to be patient You know, they say patience is a virtue and they say patience is a virtue for a reason because having patience is not easy I had to find it in myself to have patience for my three children every day I had to find her to myself to have patience at my work every day I had to find it in myself to sometimes have patience with my fiance when she's struggling with things I had to find it within myself That patience sometimes with my own youtube stuff We tried to do a live stream last night. We ended up streaming for a couple hours But I was so frustrated not just with the events of the day. I was frustrated with the equipment I'm frustrated the switch just fell Finding the patience to deal with the things in life that we can't control is hard And that's what we have to exercise right now with switch bro. Could it drop on monday? Yes Could it drop at e3? Yes Could it not be talked about till july? Yes Could it not be talked about until september or could it not be talked about till next year? All possible I'm fairly confident that this device exists I don't think takahashi machizuki would have been talking about it all this time if it didn't Anyone who's ever bet against takahashi machizuki's reports in the past has gotten burned So Yeah, it's probably real and we don't even need these people to confirm to us that it's real Just logically speaking look at what happened was something like the ds We got the ds light and then we got the more powerful dsi Look at the 3ds. There was the 2ds and obviously the new nintendo 3ds and 3ds xl All of those had different revisions smaller lighter more portable bigger beefier more powerful And like it or not no matter what nintendo calls a switch they refer to it as a home console Does this look like a home console to you? No, this looks like a tablet You know detachable controllers It's a portable gaming machine with a built-in kickstand That you happen to be able to set in a dock to use on your tv And yeah, it overclocks when you do that and yeah, it leads to better looking games and and all that jazz And yeah, it is kind of the idea of bringing home console games on the go And yeah, you know before this generation. It was unimaginable to be able to play a game like breath of the wild on the go Super mario odyssey on the go Splatoon 3 coming up on the go. It was unimaginable that this would even the witcher 3 I get it But also It's mobile technology Much higher chance and and if you're wondering well Okay, how do we know they're going to give it that kind of treatment in comparison to the handhelds? Well, what was one thing they did with the handhelds a lot different colors different themed versions And look what's happening with the switch there's been splatoon versions. There's been mario versions There's been monster hunter versions There's been fortnite versions These are all the kind of things that existed Exclusively in the hands of do you remember a fortnite version of we? I mean there was no fortnite back then but you know what I mean like we didn't have these custom themed home consoles The closest we got was a little trim on the black 32 gigabyte You know we you tablet For the wind waker like nintendo doesn't do themed home consoles Rarely ever Yet here we are when nintendo switch and there's tons of these themed systems Tons of these read colors tons of the docs being read on there's a super smash bros one right like tons of this stuff There's a whole bunch of different switch light colors. They keep coming out with new ones We just got the cool blue for metopia. What's going to come next? These are all practices nintendo has been doing with their handheld devices So why would we expect them to also not continue the practice of releasing a bigger more powerful version Or at least a similar size more powerful version We don't need takahashi machizuki to confirm to us that we're going to get what we've always been getting for the past decade or two It should be expected Is it going to be called the pro probably not now probably new nintendo switch switch plus switch advance It'll just say nintendo switch on the dock. It'll just say nintendo switch on the back But it's still a switch light. It's still a switch. It's still in the switch family It should be expected So that's why I believe Because it should have been expected from day one And like the new nintendo 3ds it possibly could become that new skew the new default skew that takes over So yeah We're just working with the information available We're doing our best And i'm just as disappointed as the rest of you Obviously would have been Really good for all of us if this thing would have been revealed last week on tuesday on wednesday on thursday or on friday It'd be really good if it was revealed this upcoming week And there's a lot of naysayers out there that I know a lot of us believers We really want to prove wrong in a way that we currently can't But we can look at nintendo's history We can look at the reliable reporters out there to know this thing is real now look I get it. Okay It's tough out there But i'm holding on fast and I know you're going to go down to the comments There's going to be a lot of naysayers. There's going to be a lot of you Coming at me a lot of you coming at the believers a lot of you screaming fake news A lot of you coming at me and going you are milking the hell out of switch pro You're just doing it for the clicks. You're just trying to make that cash Money and make it rain on all of you at least make it rain on me And i'm not going to sit here and say hey The videos don't make money do we have ads for none every video we we we do makes money But that's being disingenuous to the point It really is Because I only make videos about the things I care about I passionately care about a more powerful device The switch is the first nintendo portable system that I have actually cared about since the gameboy Yeah, I owned the gameboy advance and the ds and the 3ds But I barely played games on those platforms I only only grew up with the gameboy and then I became a pc gamer. I became a console gamer But the switch is my home console Also my handheld and I really appreciate it So for the first time in my entire Time of being a gamer, I actually care about an upgraded nintendo system So the pro matters to me a little bit more than say the new 3ds did or the ds I did But a significant amount more because while I own those devices too You know, I only played zelda on them I plan to play hundreds of games on my switch pro In the future and from the past games I already own and games I intend to buy So yeah, forgive me a bit If I tend to care more about this switch pro device, then I've cared about any upgraded device In the history of nintendo So sure Videos like this probably get the clicks get the views I don't know. I have no idea There's videos I drop all the time that I think are going to perform well and don't Real news videos Real information At the end of the day I'm only human And I'm really excited for the prospect of this device. So thank you guys so much for tuning in I am Nathaniel Robeljantz from nintendo prime As always hypersponsibly You know, we're all in this together And I'll catch you in the next video also by the way go bucks, baby bucks vs nets today Hell yeah, let's go bucks go bucks go go bucks go go bucks
