 Hey everyone and welcome to this episode of Prime News and as always before we get into the news I want to remind you to enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate giveaway through the Gleam.io link down in the description. I also want to remind you guys to drop a like on this video, let's see if we can get this particular Prime News up to 150 likes, that would be amazing. I know we can do it if we all band together and hey why not share this video around and subscribe for more content. Alright without further ado, let's get into that news. Gearbox today had a presentation at PAX East, a presentation that had a lot of technical difficulties to say the least, but we have three major stories to talk about coming out of it. The first one being that Bulletstorm Duke of the Switch Edition is coming to, well I guess you can guess it, Nintendo Switch, some point this summer. They didn't really show any gameplay or anything of it off, but basically they just saying hey look this game is coming, we kinda had it speculated and rumored that Bulletstorm might be announced at this event coming to Switch, so it's nice to see it'll have all the DLC including Duke from Duke Nukem in there, I know some people thought it was weird back in the day when he was like a pre-order bonus, but he's in there, he's included, the version of it's literally named after him, so they're kinda pushing him to the front of the marketing. This was a game originally released in 2011 then fully remastered as the full clip edition in 2017 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, so hey it's on Switch, it's cool, I guess the big quote around this is essentially the team behind it, as soon as Switch came to market and they got their hands on the device they were like yeah we want to put Bulletstorm on it. Now hopefully someday they go yeah we want to put Borderlands on it because our next bit of news deals with that. So at the end of Gearbox's magic event today, literally they performed a magic trick at the event, that's the thing that happened, Borderlands 3 was announced and it looks really good, if you like Borderlands you're probably going to like this game. Now it did not announce any platforms yet, so if you're a Switch owner I guess you can hold on hope although I'll give you some reasons here, well maybe you shouldn't in a moment, but yes Borderlands 3 is coming to, well something, sometime, somewhere. No platforms listed, no release window listed, probably not going to arrive this year if I had to guess, because they have a whole bunch of other Borderlands stuff going on this year including a version of Borderlands 2 with all the DLC, they also have basically a 4K pack coming out that is like a collection that will have all of the Borderlands games so far all bundled together, all of them in 4K, so I think that's really exciting for people that have an Xbox One X or a PC, PlayStation 4 Pro, that kind of thing, obviously none of this has to do with Nintendo Switch, so while there was speculation about Borderlands 2 and that image maybe having to do with Switch, it really had to do with the fact that they were doing this 4K texture pack and all that jazz, so that's really good news for Borderlands fans out there, again I would love to see all this stuff on Switch but this stuff was not announced as coming to Switch and Borderlands 3 if I had to guess probably isn't coming to Switch either, but hey we got Bulletstorm, maybe there's another Bulletstorm in the works, that would be kind of cool but they had nothing to announce about it today, so hey whatever, let's move on. We learned today through an FAQ on the Wolfenstein Youngblood official website that Panic Button is handling the port of this game, it's not too surprising since Panic Button also did Doom 2016 and as well as Wolfenstein 2, the new order, they were the ones that ported those games to Switch where people seem to be pretty happy with those ports, not a surprise that they ended up going back to that company that being Bethesda contacting Panic Button and being like hey we want you to port this as well for the day-in-date release, we also know that Panic Button is also porting Doom Eternal, so they're basically just repeating what they did the last year and a half, that's exciting news for me and I'm pretty stoked about it, so at least it's with a company that we can trust will make at least a playable quality port of this game on Switch. Do you guys remember the Breath of the Wild champion Amiibo? I know I do because they sold out and I never got any, well they might be getting a reprint, so what happened is a Taiyuanese retailer has informed the consumers that on April 10th they will be getting a full restock of the champion Amiibo pack, this has not been stated anywhere else, we don't know if this will come to the US or I don't know anywhere else in the world to be honest, but it does suggest that a reprint is in the works and this could lead to obviously them selling out again because they sold out in the first place and I really want them to come back because I would like an opportunity to buy them without having to keep like you know refreshing buttons on my computer to grab one of like a thousand of them that they end up reprinting, so I always felt it was weird they didn't reprint that one in the first place, bringing it back I don't think it really signifies anything, I know there's a certain rumor floating out there about Zelda, but we'll get into that in a little bit. An online retailer called MediaMarket has FIFA 20 listed for Nintendo Switch, this isn't surprising since FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 also came to Switch, now FIFA was a lesser version of FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 on other platforms, it used an older engine, it was basically like an older version of FIFA with updated rosters and a couple new modes, we don't know if this is going to be the same thing just another version or if this will actually be on par with other systems at least feature set wise and gameplay wise because there are rumors out there that Frostbite is being imported to Switch and if Frostbite the engine that runs FIFA on the other platforms is on Switch it opens up the doors to bring the full FIFA experience to Switch, this also is a good sign if FIFA 20 is coming because it does suggest that FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 are selling well enough to continue to keep coming to Switch just like if they eventually announced the next NBA 2K game coming that would be three NBA 2K games in a row while if you guys remember Wii U could only get one so that would be very good sign that these games are selling significantly better on Switch than these companies are accustomed to seeing on prior Nintendo platforms, all good signs for future third party support on the Switch. There's kind of this big rumor floating out there it was kind of talked about by Liam Robertson he's the source on all of this and then first reported by Spawnwave a fellow YouTuber and it has to do with a new game from from software now a lot of outlets have already confirmed that from software the makers of Sekiro the Dark Souls series Bloodborne etc have two other projects in the works now Activision where there's a publisher on Sekiro and while one of the projects a lot of people think is the next Bloodborne game probably coming for PlayStation 5 they are the second game that we don't know much about that has people speculating and according to Liam Robertson that game is another Souls game not a surprise obviously the Souls games have been the most popular games from softwares made in quite some time so you have the Souls games it's another Souls game it is open world which is very different from the way the Souls games were in the past they were a lot more linear there's going to be multiple kingdoms that you can go to at any time if you kill the leaders at those kingdoms you gain extra special abilities a way to think about this is kind of look at how the Mega Man series works you know you beat one of the bosses you gain their ability that's kind of how this would work in this game and the most intriguing part of this rumor is that George R. R. Martin is one of the lead writers for this game for those who don't know George R. R. Martin is the one that penned the Game of Thrones series well I guess it's a song of ice and fire book wise but but the Game of Thrones TV version of it that has its final season this year that's all George R. R. Martin everything's based on his work he is widely considered one of the best writers in the world and yeah to see him working on a video game to see him create an original something for this is honestly very shocking now again just a rumor can't confirm any of it I will say that Liam Robertson doesn't typically open his mouth unless he has some pretty reliable sources on this he even admits that like when he heard this from the people he heard it from it's like what are you talking about open world Dark Souls okay multiple kingdoms Mega Man like ability stealing George R. R. Martin's really involved in this like what he's the lead writer like it all just sounds completely unbelievable which is probably why it's true because when you hear something this crazy from reliable sources it's pretty hard to yank your chain it's not April 1st yet so there's no April Fools here I think this is really interesting and I can't wait to see what happens yeah it's not gonna be probably coming to switch it'll probably be PlayStation Xbox whatever but you never know we did get Dark Souls remastered on switch so maybe this is a potential switch release I don't know but he thinks and Spawnwave and Liam Robertson kind of concluded that it's something we might actually hear about at E3. Stalker 2 the sequel to the original Stalker game has well it was actually kind of announced a long time ago and most people just figured it it's done right like the Stalker 2 website it's been up forever hasn't had any updates there's you know it's done they're not making that game anymore that just happens it got ambitious too big for its bridges and the guy canned right that's been the assumption for many many years well Stalker 2's website got updated today with new official art and this has led people to obviously speculate there's going to be more and you don't even really need to speculate much more than that because there's actually a tagline on the website that says expect news about this game soon so yeah Stalker 2 is actually happening I don't know what platforms it'll be on at this point but it's just exciting to know that a beloved what was supposed to become like a long-standing franchise is actually going to come back with a new entry here's hoping it can live up to the original game because the original game was fantastic I don't know if you guys played it but man I have some very fine memories of the original Stalker so Stalker 2 get hyped and our last story for today actually deals with not so much a rumor as it is speculation on some hiring happening at Nintendo's monolith soft I made a video on this and you can get more information if you would like from that video down in the description but essentially monolith soft is hiring a whole bunch of people for a Zelda project and the people they're hiring are actually like the exact same positions they used to be hiring for an action game that looked like it was based in the medieval ages so what does this all mean it just means that monolith soft is hiring people that they're going to be using to make a Zelda game does this mean monolith soft is making their own Zelda game not necessarily does it mean that monolith soft is making a spin-off game not necessarily does it mean that monolith soft is porting you know the win-maker HD Twilight Princess HD or maybe doing Skyward Sword HD not necessarily what we do know about monolith soft and their involvement with Zelda is they have actually been like a secondary dev team on many of the Zelda games of late though I think the earliest one they worked on was Skyward Sword and when I say worked on no we're not saying that monolith soft was involved in the development of these games right away but they were brought in as additional team members to the OG Zelda team to get Skyward Sword done and that also is around the time that Nintendo decided to merge their handheld and console Zelda teams to make one Zelda team so how it used to operate is Nintendo had two Zelda teams internally that a ginoma was overseeing that Miyamoto used to oversee and they merged them together so it's one Zelda team with the idea of getting games out quicker but it was weird because games haven't come out quicker in fact the gap to Skyward Sword and then the gap from Skyward Sword the Breath of the Wild is long and you might say well what about a link between worlds what about Triforce Heroes and Link's Awakening coming a lot of these games are handled by other companies that Nintendo just hires to do such as Grezzo the win-maker HD was handled internally but then Twilight Princess HD wasn't there is a lot of Nintendo outsourcing a lot of Zelda things and now we obviously know of Cadence of Hyrule as an indie crossover game and obviously Hyrule Warrior so you got to remember they consolidated the Zelda team to make games come out faster and they're actually coming out slower that being said it is well known at this point that on Breath of the Wild more people from Monolith Soft which consists of around 200 employees worked on Breath of the Wild then worked on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that's right the literal studio that's like dedicated to making Xenoblade had more employees working on Zelda than that so to see them hiring on specifically for Zelda tells me a couple things that one there's probably multiple studios inside of Monolith and two one of those studios that contains a majority of their staff is obviously dedicated to helping out the Zelda team and or they're just permanent members of the Zelda team or they're making their own Zelda game that's always a possibility I don't think that Monolith Soft is actually making their own Zelda game like heading up their own Zelda game but I do think that they are heavily involved in the next Zelda game because they were heavily involved in the last Zelda game and you can see some of those influences in how Breath of the Wild handled open world so I do think it's very interesting to see where this is going to lead in the future it's nice to see more talked about in terms of hiring people on that likely has nothing to do with Lynx Awakening that remastered version there is calling it Lynx Awakening but it's a remastered version it's interesting to see some progress towards whatever the next Zelda game is I do think we might see the next Zelda game at some point next year but yeah they're hiring on a whole bunch of people for a Zelda project I think that's really really cool and anytime there's Zelda news out there that indicates hey we might actually see something from a new you know sequel prequel whatever whatever comes after Breath of the Wild at some point in the future I kind of want to bring it up because Zelda is my favorite franchise and I just like to be hyped about Zelda I'm I've never been so hyped about an indie game in my life until Cadence of Hyrule was announced and I man Lynx Awakening you guys saw my live reaction to that if you didn't here's a here's a read here's a look back at that Lynx Awakening! Lynx Awakening! I broke my green screen anyways folks I am Nathan Robodance from the Tender Prime I want to thank you for tuning into this episode of Prime News it's been awesome I hope you guys enjoyed the new intro cards I've been doing with the timestamps I didn't want to over do too much text on them I thought that would look kind of bad so it's just hey you might not know exactly what the story is but that's why you're here to watch Prime News right right all right well I love your faces and I'll catch you in the next video
