 Anyone who's been following my channel over the years knows that I talk a lot about rumors, especially when it comes to Nintendo stuff And a lot of times the rumors end up not necessarily being correct or coming true There are obviously times when they do when we talk about stuff that comes from like King's Elf from reset era as an example but more than that There are times that we cover rumors that come from Twitter and come from people that I don't necessarily know if I trust now Sabi here is a well-known leaker I mean most of this twenty seven point four K following is from leaks and Sabi has gotten a number of leaks correct But there's also been Reports and and kind of statements from people that Sabi isn't actually the source of this stuff That he's actually getting it from different people at reset era or neogaf or other places on the internet Sometimes 4chan and kind of regurgitating so it's hard to know Who is the source of what this information is? But what is kind of true is a lot of stuff that Sabi does put out there ends up being correct in the end now Sabi put up this new thing in 2020 so you can kind of figure out who this person is or at least who they claim to be Because we can't confirm if Sabi actually is a video game journalist But you'll see that they say you know that a recent college graduate working as a journalist in the video game industry I probably wait for spiel times and Nintendo soup now. I know about Nintendo soup. It's a side. I follow a little bit But it's not really a big site and it's not a site that I think would be able to pay someone to be a journalist So it's got to be more of a volunteer position, which isn't a bad thing But anyone can work that kind of position to be fair. It doesn't require you be a college college graduate We probably primarily tweets opinions on games tech video game news rumors and sometimes leaks due to my extensive history Sharing information from verified sources most found me through said Intel a little boss. They recognize that most people follow him because Of that. Oh, I also support another he says more importantly I try to use this Twitter to share my articles that share information from reputable sources Give me on games and tech and connected community people who like video games on all platforms All of me for a little up. So what he's trying to say is that he's not like a typical leaker he's trying to trying to tell you that that Sabi likes to think he or she is a Credible leaker because they're a journalist. No, I've been a journalist for many many years Sullivan former to game easier. I've written a little bit on Nintendo everything in the past I I've worked at various websites and I've had you know conversations with like Rami Cowboy who runs? Go Nintendo I've talked to people from Nintendo life I've been kind of all over in the Nintendo realm of game journalism And I don't necessarily think that that makes you any more credible to be fair when it comes to having sources I'm not saying that I don't have sources, but I'm not also going to act like my sources are like the most reliable things in the world They're actual people with actual jobs at places that could have access to certain bits of information but it doesn't you know information is always changing so fast behind the scenes that I don't really talk a lot about my sources because They might be right and they might be wrong and it's just not worth throwing out there We're someone else is gonna throw information out there at least comment on what I've heard and what I know And when all these direct rumors started coming up lately I have people behind the scenes telling me that hey look a directs coming like next week basically This isn't me saying that it's going to happen, but that's what I'm hearing So since rumors are already out there screw it. That's what I know But again, it could change and be the week after or I don't know I honestly couldn't tell you because I am not in charge of Nintendo directs But the reason we're talking about savvy is not just because they've gotten a lot of things, you know Quote-unquote correct over the past year or two It's because of some rumors that they're talking about in terms of what the major holiday title is gonna be now They talk about the wonderful one-on-one There's a new rumor out there that there's gonna be a Kickstarter for it coming up soon to bring it to PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo switch And savvy actually talked about this before that rumor popped up that the wonderful one-on-one was was going to be Rumbling muffled words of a platinum wonderful one-on-one in the distance But what's interesting here is this tweet right here? This is the one That that we're gonna pay attention to now you could talk about Paper Mario the savvy's been talking about Paper Mario for a little bit But this is the one right here that we're gonna kind of focus on Breath of the Wild 2 is taking longer than anticipated back during E3 of 2019 So it's making it sound like the original plan for Nintendo was Breath of the Wild 2 was supposed to be this year's holiday title Might not make it out this year. So it's kind of being pushed to 2021 at some time maybe even early 2021 But that is being pushed even though we never got a release date for it and that there's gonna be a different major title for this holiday and They are inferring that more credence to the major title I was referencing on a tweet the other day neither are set in stone to take himself the more likely one has tires Now if someone a major holiday title No, it could be F zero could you know it could be Diddy Kong racing coming back But if it's a major holiday title, it's almost assuredly Mario Kart 9 now There's been a lot of debate among me and some of my hardcore fans on the discord server I'm whether or not Mario Kart 9 even needs to exist this generation or should exist this generation Because Mario Kart 8 deluxe is the most popular and best-selling game on switch. It just sold 6 million new copies You know in 2019 basically like that's insane that that game that came out we you know age You know ages ago is selling that phenomenally well still at 60 bucks a pop on switch in 2019 and now 2020 so Do we really need a Mario Kart 9? But what's also true is that it's not like Mario Kart 9 is going to hurt switch sales It's just gonna hurt the final number for Mario Kart 8 deluxe Mario Kart 9 is a surely a good thing for Nintendo switch It's gonna move switch units and it is something that people are going to buy and buy a switch to play in the Mist of a PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox coming out We've talked in the past about how Breath of the Wild 2 would be the right kind of game to draw attention Away from those platforms because hey look Breath of the Wild was this must-have game Breath of the Wild 2 like who cares about PlayStation 5 I need to get a switch But Mario Kart kind of has an even bigger appeal than Zelda so not even kind of it's massively more appealing. It's one of Nintendo's most popular IPs So that is also a very good game to combat next gen or when I say combat I'm more like get attention while next gen is launching so The biggest thing obviously for me when Mario Kart 9 is not that it's you know, should it exist It's going to exist just from a business perspective. It needs to exist It's gonna make millions and millions hundreds of millions of dollars for Nintendo to be completely honest, but to me The question is always what else can they do? It's not gonna visually look much different than Mario Kart 8 deluxe They could add more characters and more courses of course and more items. That's what they always do They always had new features and I think Mario Kart 8 deluxe was was kind of the perfect Mario Kart game Maybe I am just You know too wrapped up in the moment or something But I've been playing Mario Kart 8 for a long time We you on forward and it always felt like basically the perfect Mario Kart so I don't I don't even know what they can do in nine What I do know is that I'll still buy it though because Mario Kart has never really let me down I just I just don't know what more they could do So I guess what I what I want to kind of throw here for the end of this video is I want to ask you guys What do you think Nintendo can do with Mario Kart 9 now? I don't know if it's coming again later this year It seems to be with Sabi is referencing or say be however you want to pronounce it as referencing that We're going to be getting Mario Kart 9 this holiday But I just I can't help but wonder what else can be done And does it not matter because even if it's just more of the same you're gonna buy it anyways because more of the same for my Like more of like if it's a Mario Kart, you know 8 deluxe, but more of the same I mean Mario Kart 8 deluxe is the best Mario Kart game in my opinion. Why would I not want more? So I don't know throwing that out there I think I think Mario Kart 9 by the way like you guys you guys were impressed by those Pokemon sword and shield numbers right 16 million I wouldn't be shot at Mario Kart 9 hits 20 million in the first like two three months. It's on the market That's how big a deal Mario Kart is so I don't know you guys let me know what you think about this down in the Comments below what what are your thoughts? What more could they do with it? Do you want to see you know, oh, maybe oh, maybe multiple play styles come back like bring back You know double-dash style or something There's a lot of things they can do but to me Mario Kart 8 deluxe is so like this close to perfection for a Mario Kart game I'm not really sure what to do With a Mario Kart 9 granted I don't work at Nintendo and it's not my job to figure that out But it is something that it's always in the back of my mind like, you know, what can they do with a Mario Kart 9?
