 Hey everyone welcome back to a special weekend video at Nintendo Prime because we have some Nintendo Direct rumors to talk about including something that someone is making a particular bet like if you were to make a Super Bowl level bet against it you would be considered to be foolish that being said before we get into it I will remind you we are given away well a Switch OLED a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X to enter you just got to go down to the pinned comment or into the description click on that gleam.io link and I wish everybody who enters look so look it's been a bit of a crazy few days for us here at Nintendo Prime the studio is starting to fall apart at the seams we're preparing to literally rip everything out of our house and studio as we're going to be taking out all the carpet putting brand new flooring in and we actually already have started construction on two brand new sets for you guys this set you see here this look you're seeing right now it's not going to be around for much longer so enjoy the current set the current podcast set everything while it lasts this set will be gone as of the weekend of the 18th and 19th I believe of this month so that'll be the last time you see this set in its current iteration and we'll have to wish it farewell that being said let's get into the actual rumors here and oh boy we need to bring our tin foil hats we need to bring our skepticism to the uh to the fray and as this person says hypersponsibly always always always hypersponsibly think he stole the line from me but that's neither here nor there so this rumor comes from somebody that I have stated in the past to not trust and that's okay this person isn't out there stealing leaks from others this person also isn't out there pretending that he knows everything so they've gotten some things right call it predictions if you want sometimes they get some things wrong whatever supposedly still credible enough to be covered by comicbook.com so we're going to talk about it here and that is zippo so zippo over on his blog put up two interesting blogs one of them I think is being mischaracterized at least I think the game he's talking about being mischaracterized the others directly about the director so his blog post that he put up a few days ago says well here we are a new month and it's time to do what we do every year over hype a video game commercial aka a direct but seriously yes I'm hearing that the first director of the year will take place this month in February and could be as soon as next week he's talking about next week uh not you know not the current week that we're in now or ending uh this week is being ruled out because of Nintendo's imminent financial readings obviously we already got that I'm gonna go say it and he's it's gonna be a big one I'm not sure of the content at this point in time but it's safe to assume that Kirby and the Forgotten Lance between three advancements one plus two reboot camp and the heavily rumored Zeno Bay Chronicles 3 and a new Fire Emblem title will likely be featured in this one again that's all stuff we either know about or has heavily been rumored about Nintendo has a metric shit time to talk about so I expect some huge bombs to be dropped in this presentation so okay I wouldn't know that any of that many of the Fire Emblem game would be a new announcement but the rest of that's not really huge bombs but this is the line that has me this is why we're really talking about this because all that's just safe right okay there's traditionally a Nintendo director in February seven of the last ten um you know was it seven of the last ten uh February's also fun fact did you know that Nintendo has a nearly 100 track record outside of the COVID year where financial briefing one to two weeks later there's a direct I don't I don't know if people realize how Nintendo times those directs conveniently after financial briefings that being said uh let's just look at what he said here so if you made a super bowl sized money bet so millions and millions of dollars on a new blank not being real you're going to be out a lot of money and the new blank he's talking about is Mario Kart 9 10 crossroads whatever you want to call it it's had a number of rumored names but a brand new Mario Kart game there is essentially saying look you could pretend this game doesn't exist you can even put a super bowl like bet down so millions of dollars down this game isn't happening and uh he would say you'd be out all that money so one I'll say I think a new Mario Kart game comes someday so you can argue if this sentence will eventually be true but the inference obviously that is going to be a switch title which that's very interesting considering Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling Mario Kart game of the whole time it's also not a brand new Mario Kart game so it's going to be really interesting to see how this all plays out all I know right now is uh he is saying no matter how much money you put down you're just going to lose it all if you're betting against a new Mario Kart now he doesn't say the Mario Kart will be dropped at this direct but that it's coming it's happening and there's been even some rumors from others that it might drop this year now what I also really like is something he mentions I think just yesterday he says sometimes I really don't understand Nintendo as a company or as a developer this is one of those times one two switch is one of the most dull lifeless forgettable games I've ever played yet it's getting a sequel for some reason it's so well I think usually when I do a scoop it's usually the game I'm interested in this is not one of those games this year is really going to be 2017 part two isn't it so what's interesting about this part here is obviously that we've heard some slight rumors out there that we were going to get a sequel Nate the hate and others out there put we're getting a sequel to a game or we're getting some sort of game from Nintendo a casual game that nobody wants and I'm going to fight back on this a little bit one two switch to me is a good game I think it's a misunderstood title yes Nintendo pretended it was going to be some game that you go with Karen do a rooftop party with your okay yeah that was probably an unrealistic situation but I've actually played one two switch with a number of children with a number of adults I've actually had it out at parties it's fun one two switch is a fun game it's a party mini game experience that adds in the ability for there to be tons of people playing at once it is literally the definition of a party game and it's really good at it it takes full advantage of the hd rumble and does prove the concept of this rumble is significantly better than most of the rumbles we have gotten outside of the playstation 5 dual sense I honestly think that this game is only viewed the way it is because Nintendo sold it as a $60 product at launch when it should have been this generation to be sports impacted notice how we sports doesn't have a bad reputation who wants to play that oh it's sports games the sports are more except guys one two switch isn't a bad game I literally owned it at launch and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I've probably spent over a hundred hours playing multiplayer matches in it so yeah um a sequel called one two three switch or whatever they end up calling it I am all four and I'll probably end up picking it up again I think one two switch just gets a bad rap because it felt like it should have been a packing game and Nintendo maybe should have charged 60 bucks I could I could argue it's probably more like a $40 experience at launch than a 60 but you know brand new system launching I can kind of see where Nintendo was going with that that being said yeah these are all rumors um could be made up you know at well let me know down on the comments like hashtag team real hashtag team fake I'm probably on team fake here but that doesn't mean I think everything he is saying is wrong I do think a new Mario Kart game is happening which is one reason why I wanted to talk about this whether it gets revealed this month or later I don't know also interesting note about this direct so Nintendo has this thing on their website where they list upcoming games it gets updated every time there's a new financial briefing and the order in which they list the games uh has a 100 track record to be in the order at which Nintendo releases the games here's the interesting note Breath of the Wild 2 is listed before Splatoon 3 um a lot of us felt like Splatoon 3 be a summer title but as Splatoon 3 is going to be their holiday hitter is Breath of the Wild 2 a summer game obviously I think if it is we're seeing it at this direct probably with a full title reveal as Nintendo ramps up the next three four five months of hype for that game anyways obviously this is all speculation at this point but I am really really excited for the prospect of a future on Nintendo direct this month all right folks hopefully I'll be live reacting with you next week it'll still be on the set there'll probably be the last live reaction uh show on this set but uh I'm I'm still so really excited about it the countdown is on guys for brand new studio I can't wait to reveal we will do a quick pan over of the old studio before everything gets torn down even though there's already been some changes without any footage recorded it's okay it was to a section of the studio that was mostly off-limits to you guys it's now going to be part of the grander scheme in fact there's going to be a lot changing uh with our studio I don't want to go over everything we will go over in our studio tour uh that we actually want to do it's going to be a studio update one uh big thing about this tour it's going to be some some cable managing as well that I I need to perfect and see what additional cables if any I need to purchase I'm going to see that the things are going to be changing a lot but I'm really excited for the future of this channel I always say if you're not improving you're not improving you know we we we just dropped we don't have $3,000 yesterday um not all of it was specifically for the studio but a huge chunk of it was uh and we have more we're spending uh coming forward because as we bring the next generation of nintendo prime to all of you guys I I'm getting a little nostalgic looking around this room this has been our set now for over a year uh and it feels crazy that a year later you know a little over a year later we're we're changing it all we're uh tearing it down I mean this this part of this set was built you know back right before e3 last year and it's getting torn down and it's going to be uh it's going to be interesting that's for sure but some things will stay the same our audio equipment's not getting swapped out or camera equipment's not getting swapped out but I'm really I'm excited so catch you guys um in a couple weeks otherwise we'll just keep doing our regular content as long as we can um there's going to be I would say probably a four or five day period where you guys are going to end up getting a lot of either if not voiceover gameplay videos me using a pseudo green screen with probably not the best lighting uh just because hey that's when the studio is completely torn down and I will have to rely on my laptop and a more portable setup so all right folks I'll catch you guys in the next episode video live show episode do we do we call every video on my channel an episode what how many episodes would that be that like 2700 man I've been doing a lot of videos
