Now, I want to get into some of this news and the first bit we need to talk about deals with the Nintendo Switch Online service. Last night, Nintendo did another one of those late-night tweets they put out there to announce new games coming and we're getting this right off the Nintendo of America Twitter where it says Super Mario Advance, Super Mario World, Super Mario Advance 2, and Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Advance 3 are all coming to Nintendo Switch for Nintendo Switch Online Expansion right members on 526, so this would be a week from today. That's pretty interesting. Those are obviously all Game Boy Advance games. It's nice to see a big collection of Mario slash Yoshi Island-style Game Boy Advance games coming over. Look guys, I do think that the Nintendo Switch Online service at this point is a pretty good value if you're really into retro games. Of course, we also have to remind you that there was another piece of Nintendo Switch Online news which wasn't so great that came up and maybe that's why they dropped this news now and that is that Pac-Man 99 is going to be removed from the Nintendo Switch Online service later this year and to me, that is the big bugaboo about this service. If you're not into classic games, Nintendo Switch Online really doesn't offer a lot for you. Yeah, it gives you access to play games online like paid video games online like Splatoon 3 and stuff but that's not a good thing. People don't like to pay to access the internet they already pay for. So yeah, Nintendo Switch Online, if you're not into classic games, it still struggles and one of the things that you do get, one of the perks you get besides classic games is access to DLC but then again, they stopped adding DLC to the service. So yeah, you get the Mario Kart DLC. Yeah, you get the Splatoon 2 DLC we're playing Splatoon 3 now. It's kind of weird. They haven't added more DLC to the service and then the games that you would get like the Tetris 99s or the Pac-Man 99s or back when we had the Mario 35th anniversary, Mario 35, they're just removing content and not really replacing it. Now, one other benefit you get to the Nintendo Switch Online service are those random demo sessions, right? Where they're kind of like, hey, you can play this game over the course of a week for free and then you get a discount if you wanna buy the full version, which is weird because you can actually play the full version but you know, keep it basically and that's a really neat thing but I do feel like Nintendo Switch Online needs to be doing a bit more. Now, before we get into our next video, I just wanna thank you guys so much for being here. We are on our road to 133,000 subscribers and guys, it's utterly amazing what we've accomplished so far. I'm turning 37 this year, I have three children and I'm just trying to show my children and myself, if I'm honest, that it's never too late to chase your dreams. My dream is to be a full-time YouTuber, not only able to support my family but live a decent life so I would appreciate if you would subscribe to the channel and just help me, help myself but also help show my children that it doesn't matter how old you get, it's never wrong to chase your dreams. All right, now let's get into our final story in this deals with Tears of the Freaking Kingdom. Some of you guys have probably already seen this but Tears of the Kingdom updated to patch 1.1.1 and Oatmeal Dome went out there and tried to say, hey, the patch is out there but it doesn't look like you dug too deep into it. The patch notes themselves basically say general updates. They fix an issue where sometimes the player could not clear the main quest, the closed door even if they fulfill the conditions to advance the quest. If you've already encountered this issue, you will be able to clear the quest by downloading this update data. Now that's cool, right? They fixed a broken quest, that's nice especially for people who are trying to 100% the game but they also note in here, they fixed several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience. Now, some of you are worried that maybe they got rid of the duplication glitch. It's a really popular glitch. I'm not gonna go over how to do it. It's out there if you wanna know and they did not fix the duplication glitch. So if you're somebody afraid to update because you frequently use the duplication glitch, don't worry about it. I think it's a weird reason to not wanna update but some people wanna spam and have infinite Hylian shields or infinite gems or something. I don't know, whatever you guys like to do. I mean it obviously breaks the economy of the game but whatever, people like to play how they like to play but they did not fix that and who knows if they ever will. Maybe it's one of those glitches that are just gonna leave in the game for those that enjoy breaking the game in such a way. It's not like it affects other players anyways, right? So it's only your own personal gameplay session but I am curious what things they've addressed to improve the gameplay experience. Like the last patch they did, the 1.1 patch, that enabled FSR and gave us better performance. So I'm very curious, I'm playing a little bit since the patch and I haven't noticed much. I'm wondering if game performance has gotten even better. Like when you're using Ultra Hand maybe the frame rates drop a little bit less. I busted out Ultra Hand in Kakariko Village today just to see if it felt a little bit different and this could just be a placebo effect but to me after updating, it did feel like the frame rate was a bit smoother with Ultra Hand activated in Kakariko Village. For those that don't know, activating Ultra Hand in Kakariko Village is one of the number one ways to see your tears of the kingdom copy on Nintendo Switch really tank in frame rates. So to me it felt a little bit smoother so possibly we have a ghost performance patch here although we say ghost, it literally says they've solved issues to address the gameplay experience so improving performance could address gameplay experience. But I'm sure they went over a number of other minor bugs and small things that maybe we just haven't really noticed because after all, I gotta be honest, I haven't really experienced bugs in the game. Obviously Nintendo's well known to release pretty polished games or yeah, there might be glitches you could do but not actual like huge bugs or falling through the world but I have seen a few complaints on one particular shrine where people kept getting a ball stuck and then they would have to reset the shrine. I haven't had that happen yet. Also maybe I just beat that shrine the first time and never had a problem with it. I'm not really sure what shrine that is. So maybe that's a gameplay fix they put in there to be like, oh, the ball shouldn't be stuck. Maybe people just weren't thinking right with the mechanics and the ball was never really stuck. I don't know because I'm not even sure what shrine it is because every time I ask people what shrine it is I get different answers and most of those shrines I've done and I'm not even sure how the ball could get stuck in those shrines. So anyways, what I wanna know obviously is what you guys think about this news down below. Do you think they should do more with NSO? Are you excited about these Game Boy Advance games coming in? Are you a little sad that we're losing Pac-Man 99? Also, what do you think about this patch for Tears of the Kingdom? And more importantly, I think, and this is a discussion we have to have someday. Will Tears of the Kingdom have DLC? You gotta remember, breath of the wild they announced DLC before the game even came out. Now, I can understand why maybe they wouldn't announce DLC right now. Heck, I don't even know if DLC will come this year because what we need to remember is that if there is new hardware on the horizon say a year and a half from now, let's say holiday 2024 it's possible they wanna time their DLC with that release. Now that might seem weird but adding massive DLC a year after a game comes out isn't really unheard of. Some of the biggest games in the world have done stuff like that, like The Witcher 3, with their Blood and Wine DLC. Sometimes the biggest and best DLC is a year out. So I think it's possible that they're trying to time it with that and then maybe one thing you might get is a free upgrade. Like if the next system is backwards compatible maybe you can get a graphics upgrade or something included with your DLC purchase. It's also possible that since I haven't beaten this game maybe the way this game ends is so definitive. It doesn't need DLC. But then I also think that would be weird given comments they've said about Ganondorf in some of their interviews. Where they basically infer that Ganondorf has a bigger role and more to do in the future but then there wouldn't really be a definitive end at the end of this game then, right? So I'm very curious about all this but you know what? I guess we'll just find out more later. Thank you guys for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video.
