 Well folks we have a few stories I want to share with you today, dealing with Tears of the Kingdom and well, another code recollection, some Hogwarts Legacy stuff and folks, the big coup de gras. We're going to spend a majority of the video on Nintendo potentially a new rumor about them launching a brand new subscription tier for Nintendo Switch Online, likely for Nintendo Switch 2 based on how this is being put out there where you are going to be able to play games for free. Oh baby, are you ready for this? I know Mr. Lama here is. Let's go ahead and dive into the news. So our first story deals with Google of all things because they released a nice little chart showing off the most searched for video games of 2023 and Tears of the Kingdom ranked at number 2 behind Baldur's Gate 3. Now that's fine and not really surprising. What does surprise me a little bit though is how this chart is. I don't really know the data is based on searches but I just don't understand what the chart is showing. Like what does 100% mean compared to 88% or 70% or 23% there's only the total amount of people who searched and then how many of those people searched for a specific thing. To me it's a little why I don't understand the chart is basically what I'm saying. If you just want to take it out of the server's value Baldur's Gate 3 is the most searched for video game then Tears of the Kingdom then you just keep going down the line. That part I get I just don't get the percentages but hey it is what it is. You know what folks that's alright it's time for us to dive into our next story. And look Pioro strikes again everyone for those who don't know who Pioro is he is a leaker for Nintendo stuff over on X and last time he did a bunch of leaks was right before the last Nintendo Direct and one of those leaks was actually for another code recollection and he quoted himself over on Twitter and said well hey you're going to get a demo and a new trailer for this game and now that was about 9, 10 days ago and people thought it was for the game awards but he never said that it was and then last night Nintendo dropped the goods and gave us a trailer and now a playable demo that you can play right now for another code recollection that comes out on January 19th. So again Pioro strikes again he posted it you know 9, 10 days ago but doesn't matter it happened and his 100% streak with all of his leaks continues the guy is literally the goat of goats in 2023 for leakers so yeah it's pretty hard not to pay attention to everything he says now in the future. And next up another little quick story for you guys is are you playing Hogwarts Legacy on Switch because it actually sold pretty well right we talked about sales data how it bumped up Hogwarts Legacy like number three in the sales charts number two out in the UK and yeah it's apparently selling very well on Switch so obviously if there's any issues with the game the developers are going to want to get them cleaned up so they released a new patch and that's fine because there really wasn't a ton of like game breaking complaints like people say it all the game is broken and doesn't play I'm falling through the world this isn't a Pokemon you know situation but they drop some patch notes and I'm not going to go through all the patch notes what I just wanted to show you is how shocking they are because take a look at this this is when you like click on the image of the patch notes if you see them on someplace like X they are the longest patch notes maybe in gaming history I don't know there might be some longer ones but there is a certain in one of the longest ones I've ever seen for a Nintendo Switch game holy crutter they fixed a lot now most of this isn't like game breaking bugs are fixing just at a quick glance there's a lot of graphical glitches you know things you know cutting through each other that aren't supposed to color fixes there were a few actual bugs fixed in the game something with the final fight was fixed and I want to spoil things for people but yeah look I on one hand this is a hell of a lot of things that needed fixed in the game on the other I'm really glad that they actually fixed them because all they did was take a game that people seem to be having a lot of fun with and just make it even better and obviously it just makes me more confident when I eventually pick up my copy on switch because I know some people make fun of the visuals but apparently the gameplay is holding up just fine so that's what I care about so I'm probably gonna pick up Hogwarts legacy and switch here right after the holiday season and enjoy my adventures for now I'm actually gonna be playing skull and bones because I got into the clothes beta so I'll be playing that over the weekend here on ps5 and before we dive into our last story I just want to let you guys know hey we have all the confetti going because I mean we technically haven't got there yet but you know what I am excited about possibly getting there if you're enjoying this content want more of it go ahead and hit the subscribe button maybe hit the bell to be notified of all future videos and hey look we've been raining down eggplants doughnuts and Oreos I'm gonna give you a break today and just say hey if you subscribe to the channel it's just a free smile from me now last up we have the rumor of rumors and look this stuff is pretty crazy it deals with Nintendo switch shoe it deals with Nintendo switch online a brand new tier a more premium tier being added but there's a very good reason for that before we talk about it give me a second we're not we're not dressed appropriately for the occasion alright now we are appropriately dressed for the situation because this rumor does come from 4chan and while leaks do happen at 4chan we obviously need to take this with the largest amount of skepticism humanly possible but it's such a really cool idea I want to talk about it anyways so here's the 4chan post and it says this is like a third hand info and I'm not sure how accurate it is but I've heard that Nintendo are contacting publishers to do more than just free trials for the Nintendo switch online service like how PlayStation Plus model works it's supposed to be a more premium tier I don't know the prices or anything I don't even know when it will start I just think it makes sense for the timing to match up with a console launch in September since that's when Nintendo will get an influx of resubscriptions I've heard very little about the new console basically nothing other than 2024 like Miyamoto has a gun pointed towards everyone's head and what he's inferring to a PlayStation Plus is where they have the free games that they hand out every single month that you could just download and keep so long as you are subscribed on Nintendo could you know entirely support this on their own but they're much more likely to do a service like this and they can get third party companies involved and hand out free indie games to be free you know AAA third-party games that are a year or two old I think that's the idea here that what Nintendo would want to do and it would be a more expensive tier I think Nintendo would have to rework all the tiers at this point to launch this thing next year but this does look like something they would probably want to include with Nintendo Switch to sweeten the pot with NSO maybe it's something they'll bring over to Nintendo Switch as well just because they're such a back catalog of games there they could offer I don't know this just seems like a really really obvious thing to do their competitors already do it and if Nintendo's considering this this gives me hope Nintendo might do other things their competitors do you know like the ability to message our friends you know what I'm saying like how about some of that basic functionality this is a standard feature on Xbox and on PlayStation so Nintendo decided that this into their subscription plan would be quite neat especially if they do decide to eventually include Nintendo published games in there even if it's just they're smaller ones like the Kirby games and stuff like that Yoshi that's totally fine like those games aren't ones are gonna keep selling oodles and oodles over time so why not include them in I think this just makes a lot of business sense I think this will increase people subscribing and paying even more money for their services but they've already done this with a couple things of DLC why not offer us games now I think it just makes a lot of sense and look we're not talking about Nintendo going the game pass route as much as some of you guys might want them to but all right we got to take this thing off it's a quite the design alright folks thank you so much for tuning in I am the theater over dance from Nintendo Prime let me know you think about all this stuff down in the comments below I am legitimately excited about this possible NSO thing that's just I have so much skepticism around it because it's 4chan but hey you know what now it's out there for you guys to chew on we'll see what happens in 2024
