 Well Taking a break From what I've really been doing today, and that is playing a bunch of PlayStation 5 Because I'm getting me. Do we call it a review at this point? I don't know like I know I technically review the Xbox series X I'm not sure if we can call it a review. It's more like initial impressions. I have actually a lot of thoughts already But I want to get more gameplay experience Play around with some of the features a bit more and then we'll talk openly and honestly about the PlayStation 5 And obviously compare it to the contemporaries out there like Xbox series X and the Nintendo switch But this video we're talking about switch. So in the meanwhile while I'm doing all that I still have other content I want to get out and You see that bad boy back there. Yeah the switch red box version Well, there's probably gonna be a new one. Oh, and hey before I get into the rest of this video I got to remind you to enter our 99 dollar Nintendo switch eShop gift card giveaway. I had to think about that for a moment So I've been giving away 99 dollar Nintendo switch each other There's still a couple days left to enter to enter head down into the description or the pinned comment I wish all of you guys luck and I think this has been a common trend I have seen today actually in my social media feed and that is After the Pokemon event today where we got Pokemon legends Arceus or whatever. I'm sorry if I'm butchering the exact pronunciation of it. I know it's a legendary Pokemon. I'm anyways What's interesting is after Pokemon legends was revealed as coming next year in 2022 Early 2022 is their exact word. So definitely this game is planned to be in the first few months of the year We'll see if it hits that target date. It could be delayed It led me to a conclusion that I think is only fair That is well The rumors are right We are getting a Nintendo switch pro either this holiday or early 2022 and why why is that? Well, this holiday would just be hey It's a holiday period. It makes a lot of sense to release a new system then not because there's really gonna be a game showcasing the pro although, you know current games running in 60 FPS would be a selling point it being a new system These are on the holidays I mean, let's just be honest right now the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series extra selling right now with the promise of games Not with the reality of games. Yes, there's games technically on both platforms, but let's just be real. I Would not say there's a system seller for either one Just being honest here. I even if you're like the most die-hard Demon Souls fan of all time It's not a new Demon Souls game So it would be like buying the switch for Skyward Sword HD Maybe it's a back and maybe the Wind Waker HD how we like buy it a Wii U for the Wind Waker HD specifically instead of like, you know Breath of the Wild Anyways, so let's talk about this for a moment and why I think these rumors are actually becoming true Yeah, there's dev units supposedly out there and according to my own internal sources The dev units are real the Nintendo switch dev units exist for what they are even calling a pro model It's probably not, you know, that's just like the name. We were all using Obviously, it's gonna be like a new Nintendo switch or I mean, we'd love to see you call the super switch Wouldn't that be sweet? But whatever Nintendo decides to call it because Nintendo uses dumb naming conventions a lot of the time But they seem to get away with it and it seems to work except for when they did Wii U that was just Not good Nintendo It has an interesting prospect here lining up for 2022. So this year we know we're ending with Pokemon Okay, we have the Pokemon Diamond Pearl remake remasters, whatever you want to call them coming at the end of this year We know that's coming, right? That's so far like the one big end of your game We know is coming but we know now that Splatoon 3 is coming next year and Pokemon Legends Arceus is coming next year and highly likely Breath of the Wild 2 is coming in 2022 as well Although hey, it's still possible. It can't be written off that Breath of the Wild 2 could be coming this year And if switch pro is launching this holiday launching alongside Breath of the Wild 2 would make a lot of sense But here's the thing. Here's why I think these switch pro rumors are right Let's take a factual look at Splatoon 3 here is Splatoon 3 so This game from what we could tell in the gameplay segments I'm sorry. That looks way the hell better than Splatoon 2 like to a level of fidelity That we don't really see on switch today the level of polish that looks like There might be a little extra power beefing up that Splatoon 3 demo or trailer or whatever you want to call it Now let's look at Pokemon Legends now look I'm not gonna sit here and tell you this is a graphic powerhouse. It is not they did the thing They did the Breath of the Wild thing they they gave you the pan shot They actually did quite a few shots in the trailer That were Breath of the Wild esque To say that the dev team is not Inspired by Breath of the Wild in making this game would be an understatement and I am going to talk at length about this game later but what I want to note is When you look factually at what this game was happening in this trailer It's chuggin the game is chuggin. It is Struggling To run at a smooth frame rate Now that's okay. This is the first time we're seeing the game It's not coming out for a year maybe a year and a little bit longer Possibly could get delayed to later in 2022 if they need even more dev time And I agree the visuals aren't necessarily the greatest looking visuals of all time But whatever engine they're running on whatever tweaks they have going on the game is chugging You know what would help a game that's chugging in development Why if they ran it on a switch pro that's more powerful, of course If you look at the slate lineup that help boost we sales. We're talking Splatoon. We're talking Mario Kart We're talking was Zelda. We're talking Mario now imagine things are lining up Or you're talking open world Pokemon open world Zelda a sequel to the most popular open world Zelda ever Oh, and by the way just for shits and giggles We got Splatoon 3 coming out and potentially a Mario Kart 9 or some other major Mario IP, you know by the end of 2022 Think about that potential slate that not only tells you the switch is far from dead You do not give that kind of release slate when the system is dying unless your PlayStation because that's just what they do in the final year They gave you like their best of the best of the final year and then make you rebuy it again when the next system lands little nice marketing spin for Sony on that but What is so amazing? About this is it does tell you that this is the perfect lineup to launch new hardware with you're not leaving the old Hardware behind all these games will be playable on that switch back there the switch you guys is on right now the lights Whatever. Hey, don't worry. It's going to get all these games But would these games not be with higher resolution and better frame rate a nice sales pitch to buy that new Nintendo switch that switch pro there is too much goodness lining up right now for 2022 end of 2021 through 2022 for Nintendo not to take advantage of it with new hardware now That's the logical thing to do. Nintendo is not always logical at least to us But it almost seems intentional. It's between three Pokemon legends breath of the wild to probably Metroid Prime 4 at some point in here Bayonetta 3 Guys, it's lining up masterfully for Nintendo to release a switch pro and get another four years out of Nintendo switch At a time when switch is peaking This is a masterful plan and one I believe Nintendo is fully gonna follow through on now Again, this is just my speculation. I'm not sure what's happening but Dev units exist where there's smoke there's fire and Nintendo is bringing a lot of fire Before we even get the burning inferno that is the switch pro So you guys let me know when Nintendo is going to unveil this thing. When are they gonna release it? What game are they gonna launch alongside it cuz typically new hardware even a revision has some sort of game that launches alongside it Like you know, but Chronicles did for the new 3ds. So tell me what's gonna launch alongside this system Will it be a major third-party game that maybe hey it says hey We don't really want to be on the OG switch not good enough But this new switch and we'll throw a game out there. I don't know I keep hoping that for EA to do something But it's EA so you guys let me know what you think about this down in the console I entertainer over just from Nintendo Prime another great discussion piece for today Next on the docket is no no not the PlayStation 5 preview I'm hoping hoping I can get that done at you know at least in editing tonight So then I can get a video out to you tomorrow about that, but no no no next up We haven't talked about Zelda yet today So we get to make a video on Zelda and then after that We have some Pokemon talk I've got a lot of videos lined up. This is I'm inspired. Thank you Nintendo. Thank you, Sony Thank you x5. Thank you video games We came off a dull 2020 and it's just hot fire in 2021 Thank you game industry. You're really inspiring me, which I love. All right. I'll catch you guys in the next video
