 Hey everyone welcome back to Nintendo Prime we got a Sunday video for you guys because we have a couple stories to get to now I don't have my laptop here and all this so uh these notes are gonna have to just come off the top of my head but that's all right before we get into these stories I gotta remind you that we have a giveaway going on right now for prime giving all you need to do to enter is be subscribed and what can you win well you can win a switch OLED bundle so you would get the switch OLED you'd get some other stuff with it so that's always pretty pretty exciting and beyond that uh you also get to choose a charity of your choice of course we'll have to vet that charity but you get to choose a charity of your choice and we will donate a hundred dollars to that charity just to help out people in need during this well I guess there's still technically a pandemic going on and and obviously during this holiday season that being said let's get into the two stories I want to share with you guys today all right so this first story is more of a PSA uh Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have leaked online that's right folks there's rom files and all this stuff all over the internet and this happens every game so talking about a new game coming out this month leaking isn't really that much of a story these days the unfortunate truth is every video game in the world leaks before launch day especially on switch Nintendo switch in particular after being hacked seems to have a bigger leaking problem than say PlayStation 5 however however the thing about this is the game doesn't come out for like two weeks so this leak is way early and it's hard for me to imagine that reviewers even have their hands on copies of this game yet because they don't need two full weeks to review Pokemon now if they did get it two full weeks early kudos to Nintendo and the Pokemon company for actually considering the time of the person reviewing it because they have more to do than just review a single video game at their job however I highly doubt that's the case based on when I used to get review copies in the past you usually get a week early sometimes you only get a few days early so full two weeks early and then having it leak to the internet is very interesting and I'm really curious how this happened it is possible of course that some retail outlets already have copies of the game to you know to potentially give to people even though they're not supposed to so street date could be broken but it's hard to know right now no one can seem to pin down where the originating source was of this you know of these leaks but it's out there so if you're trying not to get spoilers for the game uh yeah maybe just block terms related to pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl on all social media channels now these are technically remake slash remasters so these aren't necessarily the biggest spoilery games out there pretty much if you played the original gen four games you already know basically everything that's gonna happen anyways but still uh it has been leaked so it is what it is I wanted to let people know in case they're worried about that in terms of my channel we don't do a ton of pokemon uh coverage in general at my channel anyways I mean we'll cover the news and we'll go you know we'll handle any uh directs or anything related to it but um we're not like the biggest pokemon uh fans here so uh you don't have to worry about us featuring most of these leaks if any of them here unless there's just something absolutely insane if there is something absolutely insane going on with it maybe we'll talk about it but I'm pretty sure that you won't have to worry about any of the pokemon leaks appearing on this channel all right the second story is actually this one's interesting because I actually know something behind the scenes about this uh and I've talked about this something in the past but we get to revisit uh things I've heard in the past uh because well samus hunter is at it again so samus hunter came out and dropped a new rumor on twitter and she's actually dropping little tidbits here and there all the time we don't just we just don't cover everything because I don't think everything is worthy of coverage even if it might be interesting to a handful of you guys out there this time around though she dropped something that might be of interest to a majority of switch owners including myself and that is that she has heard from a very reliable source that the rage engine from rock star is being fully ported to nintendo switch now this isn't too shocking if you consider the fact we're getting the GTA trilogy on switch and we're getting it fairly soon you can actually pre-install it I think so it yeah it's not shocking because that trilogy is going to be using the rage engine so you hear this initially and you go ah who cares right like they they have to have some form of the engine running on switch otherwise we can't have those games but here's the crazy thing the rumor is more than this the rumor says nintendo is directly working with rock star to fully port it over and not just for the GTA trilogy game because they don't really need the engine's full capabilities to have those old games being on switch they actually want the engine to be fully running on switch with all of its capabilities and nintendo is personally helping them do this now we all know nintendo knows their hardware better than anyone so yeah them getting personally involved is a big deal so what does this mean for you this means that there are more games coming at least one uh from rock star other than the GTA trilogy now of the games we know currently are using that rage engine is GTA 4 and GTA 5 so you consider those as possibilities GTA 5 I mean should have been on switch you know four years ago but whatever I think the boat is probably sailed on GTA 5 at this point red dead redemption one and two is also on there on the rage engine so is max pain three and I think one other title that I for some reason I just can't remember this is the problem I have the laptop here I don't have all my notes but so you could see that obviously they use the rage engine for all their more recent releases so this opens the door to what the hell could this be is it going to be max pain is it going to be uh red dead I would say uh there might be a safe presumption on getting the original red dem redemption on switch now I mentioned earlier that I actually have some background on this and this is because I actually know uh that red dem redemption two and I've talked about this on the channel before red dem redemption two was attempted to bring over to nintendo switch in the past and this was before the engine was actually supported on the platform and so when they originally tried bringing it over and I can't tell you how I know this information just know I attend E3 in person all the year and meet several interesting individuals that develop things within the industry and then one of these trips is when I found out about red dem redemption two attempted to come to switch they technically was running it just obviously wasn't running in a satisfactory way and the project was quickly abandoned and obviously we have not had red dem redemption to come on on switch but this is also why I think red dem redemption the original could be a higher possibility one with the engine fully pulled it over even red dem redemption two would run a little bit better than it did before it was fully supported and two red red dem redemption one originally ran on hardware worse than switch so getting like a remaster of sorts and and bringing that out on the platform would make a lot of logical sense and it fits in line with what rock star has done now with switch which was give us gta one two and three so give us like kind of remasters of older games they've done that will run a little bit better on switch than the more modern games so again my bet is kind of on red dem redemption coming over to switch but we can't rule out all the other possibilities maybe we do get red dem redemption two after all I know they attempted it at least once in development so we'll have to wait and see what happens but right now uh that is the exciting news I have for you today on a sunday obviously go pack go I have no idea what the hell is going to happen with Jordan love today so that should be uh interesting sorry for the the screaming blank back here if you can't tell I run it off the laptop the laptop sign here so there's no image on the screen hey you know what everything can't be perfect all the time here at nintendo prime and then of course I chose to wear my black nintendo prime podcast sweatshirt with the black screen and the black panels in the background because you know what I'm smart with the blackback chair so much black on my video today geez Nate don't you know anything about providing variants and colors in your videos to stimulate people's minds and make them pay attention all the way to the end no I'd honestly I'm completely self-taught and I have no idea
