 Hey everyone welcome back to Nintendo Prime we actually have only two stories to talk about today one of them a bit more in-depth than the other uh but it's still really worth talking about now we

prime giving it is my way of giving back during the holiday season so thank you guys so much you guys are amazing that being said let's get into today's uh two big news stories so our first one deals with sales from japan and i really want to highlight well we're going to go over the sales charts but we're going to have a little bit of a longer conversation around the game at number one because it's kind of proving something that i've been saying about switch for years uh so let's just get into these sales for last week in japan um at number one we have pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl moving 1,395,642 units this is actually the second highest um switch debut in japan uh number two we have mario party superstars at 39,797 units uh we have number three we have battlefield 2042 a new release last week for playstation 4 at 25,268 units shimigami tense 5 is at number 4 at 22,513 units battlefield 2042 for the playstation 5 is at number 5 at 21,637 units and number six we have ring fit adventure at 11,822 units and number seven we have animal crossing new horizons uh and number eight we have minecraft at number nine we have minecraft eight deluxe at number 10 we have super smash result and number 11 we have pokemon sword and shield uh at number 12 we have call of duty vanguard for playstation 4 um and so on and so forth you guys see the rest of the list on the screen um also of note is obviously system sales and uh the nintendo switch dominated uh there was 167,778 total nintendo switch units uh sold last week uh switch oled is back on top nintendo finally provided enough stock for that uh 68,796 units of just the oled model another 60,512 units of the switch along with 38,470 units of the switch light now one thing i've been saying about switch this entire time and pokemon brilliant diamond shiny pro kind of proves a point because it didn't review very well by all expectations it should sell worse than uh sword and shield in fact maybe just based on reviews it should be better placed around pokemon let's go evie uh and pikachu which sold around 1112 million but it definitely feels like pokemon brilliant diamond shiny pro with this sort of debut in japan and obviously debuting really well in the uk is probably going to be a 15 plus million seller and it kind of proves a point that i've been talking about this whole time one there's the switch effect where every game is selling better on switch i don't know what the reasoning is we had the we sell 100 million units we have the dsl 150 million units and they didn't have this sort of impact on sales now specific game sure the we sports the we fits but we're seeing mario the best selling mario card game of all time it's on switch the best selling animal crossing in all time it's on switch the best selling zelda game of all time it's on switch the best selling 3d mario game of all time it's on switch everything is selling better on switch the best selling that we just mentioned is on switch it's really interesting to see this happen now technically the best selling pokemon is still the original um releases on gen one but man pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl which definitely looked like a game that didn't take a lot of development time now pokemon diamond and shining pearl which obviously didn't take a ton of development time is able to do this and not only show the health of pokemon and obviously show that the whole dexit situation really wasn't that big of a deal to the pokemon company and the overall fan base of pokemon i know there's a lot of you very passionate about the fact that we're at least according to game freak never going to have all the pokemon available in a single game again um yeah it really proved a point you know sword and shield sold 20 plus million this is the next game after that and it looks like it's on pace to sell over 15 million pokemon legends arceus next year which has even less pokemon is likely going to sell another 10 plus million uh pokemon is super healthy the switch is super healthy and if you release a much anticipated game on switch it's going to sell well i mean at this point we'll breath of the wild to outsell the original breath of the wild maybe we'll have to wait and see um so to me this is just another level of proof that not only does everything sell on switch and sell at high numbers but also if you create something that's highly anticipated which a gen for pokemon uh remake or reboot or whatever you want to call this um has been highly anticipated it's going to sell well so reviews be damned pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl is obviously a mega smash hit success for the holiday season for nintendo mario party superstars continues to perform really really well that has a chance to be another 10 million seller we'll see if it can outsell i think it should outsell the other super mario party but we'll have to wait and see on the long tail sales of that uh but yeah i can't wait for nintendo's official update uh after this holiday season because it these numbers are going to be astronomical i mean switch might have broke another holiday record let's just put it that way moving on our next story is about this really interesting um switch accessory that you can go support and buy for yourself it's called the orion up switch and it takes your handheld um switch gaming and basically gives you a tv an 11.6 inch tv so on the surface it kind of looks dumb but i think this is the right idea the wrong execution so look the switch form factor especially with oled i think is perfectly fine at essentially a seven inch screen i think that is the perfect big screen size for switch i don't think we need a bigger screen i think the premise here is something promising and that is being able to take the tv experience and make it handheld because in tv you get 1080p in tv you get usually higher frame rates and better performance on your games so being able to do that portably will be nice so really what i think this should be is a super thin you know that they do exist a super thin uh screen that can go over the top of the switch oled or base switch that's a 1080p screen and then behind that should be maybe maybe you want to make a little thicker it's up to you but behind that i feel like should be a uh a system that not only straps your switch into the back but adds battery power which this one does add battery power but you add that battery power in so you can get the full tv mode for at least two and a half to three hours on the go and suddenly on a seven inch display especially if they gave you an oled panel to match the switch oled you can end up with a seven inch oled panel at 1080p running the games at full resolution and full frame rates like you get in tv mode now wouldn't this add some extra heft absolutely so does the aryan up switch but the aryan up switch as it is is a little bit insane i mean they have this marketing material that says ever since the release of the nintendo switch more than 80 million gamers globally have made gaming on the go a huge part of their daily ritual unfortunately many of these gamers also believe that this handheld gaming experience is a bit underwhelming because of the miniscule size of the current nintendo switch screen and i think that is actually incorrect i think they just feel like the screen should be 1080p and we should have the full performance like we get when we dock it and my idea is to basically take what they're doing here but make it more user friendly on the go i think that this is a little ridiculous you're seeing some images of it you saw probably a little trailer of it the trailer itself isn't very good there's a lot of flash bang in it not a lot of form and function so yeah i look it's a cool thing um i mean it's on indiegogo uh it runs for you know it's not the cheapest thing 289 dollars for the hero pack i think 249 dollars for just the basic uh which i think the hero pack comes with a case um and a t-shirt or something so really 250 bucks it seems is what it's going to cost and honestly it still has massive bezels it's still i don't know i mean that screen they're giving you isn't OLED it's LCD so it's not going to be a better viewing experience um but it will be 1080p and you will be able to get higher frame rates in a lot of games so it's a good idea i think wrapped in the wrong way of doing it they're focusing more on basically giving you a giant tv to hold versus making a better screen technology with a battery that can enable tv mode on the go um that's what i would have focused on so um i'm sure a product now that i mentioned that's probably going to come into existence now because i think it's actually a brilliant idea add a few more pounds out of your switch it might add a little heft but you'll get that full 1080p with everything i think i think that there's some value here i think the way they're doing it it's a little bit more ridiculous uh it does come in the kickstand of course you can set it on but like at that point just play on your tv so anyway folks i am the tanya rubble james from nintendo prime thank you so much for tuning in um there won't be a live stream tonight like i planned i wasn't gonna do a gaming live stream if you can't tell my voice is a little hoarse not because i'm sick let's
