To enter all you need to do is comment on this video, like the video, subscribe to Nintendo Prime, and then hit the bell icon on the channel as well. You can do this on every single video from now through the end of July and we'll announce the winner of that giveaway at the end of July. I wish all of you luck. Now the first video today and I think I have a trifecta for you today so stay tuned a very unusual day where we're having three videos coming out. The first one though is going to deal with Nintendo and their plans for the rest of this year because there was the 80th meeting of the investors yesterday, this is not a sales update kind of meeting, this was just kind of a general meeting of shareholders where they go over things like you know electing different directors, I think Shigeru Miyamoto technically has a slightly new role at Nintendo, all that kind of stuff, but we don't know what any of those new roles mean so we can't really talk about what that means in the grander scheme. But what we can talk about is something that Shintura Furukawa answered from the investors because they were wondering, hey what's up with the pandemic, what's up with the coronavirus, and what's happening with the rest of the games for this year because right now we've got an animal crossing the new horizons, then we've got Paper Mario and we don't know anything else and Paper Mario actually comes out here in a few weeks so what gives? Well it turns out that Shintura Furukawa answered this quite directly, maybe to ease investors but probably with the truth and that is that none of their games currently slated or planned to be released in 2020 or fiscal year, the current fiscal year so it technically runs through March of next year have been delayed, aka all of the games that they have planned to come out from now through March 31st are right on schedule. Now he did mention that anything after that if a second wave hit that games in the following fiscal year so you know right after June of 2021 through March of 2022 could see delays and could be affected and he did mention that everyone at Nintendo is currently working at home. I think we understood that when we got the Super Smash Bros announcement and we got to see inside Masahiro Sakurai's home that clearly if he's working from home the rest of Nintendo is likely working from home as well even though technically Sakurai is an independent contractor so what we learned from this is that nothing coming out this year is actually delayed so then that leads us to guess what the hell gives they didn't do a June presentation like they would have if E3 happened and I think that's the key thing if E3 was not cancelled we'd already know what's coming the rest of this year but because it was Nintendo has decided to do something different and we don't know what that different is we don't know if we're gonna be getting a Nintendo direct they usually give the give one in September that feels a little late to not know anything happening in the second half of this year but what is clear that is whatever they had planned for this year is still coming we just don't know when they plan to announce it maybe they wanted to wait for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to blow their load and PlayStation 5 just blew their load we don't know yet with Xbox Series X they're supposedly having an event next month so then we should have a grander idea of what's happening there and then maybe Nintendo will hit us with all their announcements after Paper Mario comes out I'm not sure maybe they have something coming next week may they have something coming in a month we don't know it's also possible Nintendo decides to forego Nintendo Direct we talked about before where there's new management in charge and Taro Furukawa is not you know Takahashi is not you know Satura Iwata he could be doing something entirely different and try to scrap Nintendo Direct's in favor of social media announcements so trailer drops commercials Twitter and Facebook etc they could be doing a lot of stuff like that even TikToks if they really want to get experimental here to announce different games and they did this for Paper Mario and I know Paper Mario is considered a spin-off and they have yet to do this for like a major major game but what if the next time we saw Breath of the Wild 2 was through a trailer drop you know it's entirely possible that Nintendo won't be doing traditional Nintendo Direct's the rest of this year especially since everyone's working from home and it's a lot harder to create a studio environment with multiple people to try to get it done in a more professional way we saw this with the smash announcement which while it felt professional it also kind of had that homie vibe that they might not want to give a give with a Nintendo Direct so yeah we're gonna be seeing a bunch of game announcements and that leaves a lot to be speculated for the second half of this year Nintendo has traditionally started years slow where there's only one or two games in the first half but they have a back loaded second half of the year 2017 kind of not be withstanding at the launch of Switch so we could be seeing a lot of games in the second half we could be seeing a Mario Kart 9 we could be seeing you know those HD Mario you know rumors coming true we could be seeing things like Breath of the Wild 2 which is technically an announced video game we know it exists it was announced at E3 last year that could be a holiday title this year for all we know and is right on track to release with no delays we just don't know what Nintendo is gonna tell us and that is a game we already know actually makes me wonder if that is gonna be their holiday title and it would kind of be the perfect in my opinion I know I'm a Zelda guy but the perfect game to announce as a holiday title but yeah I guess we don't really know for sure what we do know is that anything they had planned for this year is right on slate now I know people are worried this year is gonna be a repeat of 2018 maybe even worse because 2018 at least ended with Smash Bros and let's go and we're not getting a new major Pokemon game this year we are getting a new Pokemon snap which is cool we're not gonna see like a new Jen or another let's go game come out so it's gonna be interesting to see what Nintendo's plans are for the rest of this year for the holidays and obviously at the very beginning of next year because again they said fiscal year so that includes all the way through March of next year of course with anything this leaves us all to speculate on what could be coming are we gonna see more Wii U ports the Pikmin 3 Super Mario 3D world is obviously widely speculated to come some are even demanding for doubles third to come over and that was some more polished the game might not actually be that bad my experience was it needs a lot more polish to not be that bad but you know it is what it is it'll be interesting to see you know maybe a more DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or an announcement of Mario Kart 9 maybe an arms 2 is coming although it feels like we're probably gonna get a Mario Kart 9 before we get a arms 2 but who knows at this point we do have our arms character in Smash so I mean yeah congrats Min Min I'm making the cut there I guess I should say congrats to the director of arms who specifically picked that character to be in but yeah I'm honestly just as baffled as you guys are what could be coming we know Metro Prime 4 exists that's been announced retro studios is working on it do we really think that's gonna be ready for this year no I don't know we saw some no more heroes 3 gameplay teased on Twitter a few days ago although the director of the game was kind of blocking it out so it was kind of a funny way to finally show up no more heroes 3 but that might suggest that that games on slate to come this year we know Shin Megami tense a 5 was announced for switch what years ago at this point maybe that's on target to come this year we know artifact travelers 2 is in development maybe that's on track to land this year from Square Enix it was a lot of potential maybe we're getting Hyrule Warriors 2 coming out after all the last Warriors game we got was fire emblem Warriors but Hyrule Warriors is a lot more successful you know in terms of money and sales and with Breath of the Wild being so popular it might be time to drop that Hyrule Warriors 2 game out there with a lot of Breath of the Wild content included maybe even teases for Breath of the Wild 2 which would be crazy if they did that because there's been something Zelda every year last year in Link's Awakening year before Hyrule Warriors year before that Breath of the Wild even though Hyrule Warriors is a port it was still something so we're probably getting something Zelda this year I just don't know what maybe it's just Skyward Sword HD or maybe we get an HD collection with Twilight Princess HD, Remembrick HD and Skyward Sword HD all packed in for 60 bucks I think that would be a great value that's 20 bucks per game and we haven't had Skyward Sword officially in HD although a lot of you ROM and emulator users out there are already well aware about what that game looks like in HD and it's actually pretty gorgeous even though the painter style was chosen because of the blurriness of we still it looks even better in HD who knew almost every game looks better in HD that being said there's just a lot to speculate on and I know I talked about a lot of potential ports and all that because they could fill out the year reports but they might have already been planning to fill out this year report so whatever they were planning to do this year is still on slate still scheduled it is the 35th anniversary of Mario so we could be seeing more Mario games coming up besides Paper Mario I know there's that big rumor out there of getting a whole bunch of HD old Mario games you know from the Galaxy games the Mario 64 I think it's the big ones and people are really excited to see what that looks like in HD you know if they're gonna do more to witness put it in HD like an emulator they're actually gonna like remaster remake it a little bit like we've seen of Unreal Engine 4 I don't know there's a lot to speculate on and I want to know what games do you want to see this year remember we could list every single IP and every single dream out there ban out of three maybe that's landing this year right we could be just dream wishing rest of this year you know a new wave race or something but we honestly I think we need to look at this year look at the last six months of the year and maybe give us your realistic guesses at what's gonna be coming personally I'm still on that breath of wild to pipe you know thing you know game over Jesse's put out some rumors about what's in that game from some trusted sources and if you know based on what we're hearing from those rumors that game sounds like it's really far along and Breath of the Wild 2 could very well be the holiday game and I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with that hope even though I don't know if it's happening I don't have my own sources on it but Breath of the Wild 2 for holiday makes sense it's one of the few games I think Nintendo could drop that could actually compete with it Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 hype and take some of that away because remember Breath of the Wild is widely considered either game of the current generation or game of the next generation it is one of the best and highest review games of all time even topping octane of time depending on which sites you're looking at so anyways folks I am the Thunder Robogeants from
