What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and it's
the one-year anniversary of the Nintendo switch
happy Anniversary switch let's talk about where Nintendo has in store for us
for the next year
first if you guys don't mind I want to give you a quick little 30-second update
on the channel I've been selected as one of only 40 content creators in the
entire world to be part of Facebook's new Facebook gaming pilot program I'm
the only one on there who's doing Nintendo and his family friendly so if
you guys want to see me do my Let's Plays and my daily streams Monday
through Thursday as well some on the weekends I'm gonna leave in link in the
description down below however I'm still gonna be doing a whole bunch of content
here tips and tricks whenever an awesome game comes out we reviews all the stuff
that you guys love also the streams right now are a little bit quieter over
there so feel free to come through if we're gonna have a conversation chat for
a little bit more intimate and with no further ado let's talk about the switch
the seventh major console from Nintendo brought the company out of a very dark
place that the Wii U left it in and they did something revolutionary
they made a handheld console that easily docks at home and provides an
easy-to-understand a fun experience for both modes they were launching a much
anticipated game Legend of Zelda breath of the wild the game that they've teased
for years before its release which Nintendo knew would be a hit as it went
to e3 in 2016 with one game one game that game and that game went on to win
Game of the Year of 2017 The Legend of Zelda breath of the wild when Nintendo
knows they can't win the console market race on their own so they decided to
play nice when the switch launched they announced that there were over 100 games
of development for the swish from over 70 different third-party publishers in
the first month alone they shipped over three million units which they only
projected to millions so kudos to them at the time there was a switch shortage
local and branch game stores will put up signs on the doors and if they had a
switch in stock or if they were sold out sold out more than in stock it was a hot
item hot items are good things on launch day the Nintendo switch had five games
available one to switch fast rmx I am setsuna probably still not saying that
right Just Dance 2017 yay and breath of the wild but with today's
day and age of the digital a shop that means that they don't need to have
staggered releases within two months of launch they're already 14 games
available in April we got a port of Mario Kart II originally for the Wii U
but now it has every DLC included in Mario Kart 8 deluxe in June we got
Nintendo's new IP arms that lasted long in July we got the second installment of
splatoon splatoon to August we got Fire Emblem warriors September there was a
port of pokken tournament for pokken tournament DX with all the DLC included
in October we got Super Mario Odyssey in November we got a port of Bethesda
Skyrim I felt as though as important to list that here because well that shows
that a major studios willingness to support the switch for a major
cross-platform release which they also release doom for the switch the
following month and on December 1st we got xenoblade chronicles to Alyssa's
games here because it shows Nintendo had plants they had a major first party
release almost every single month for the Nintendo switch and his Nintendo
doesn't shoot for the best graphics or frame rate on games they're acclaimed a
famous amazing first party titles that's why Nintendo fans buy a Nintendo console
you want to buy any Nintendo console if it didn't have Mario or Pokemon or Zelda
on it nah by December 2017 after the Black Friday rush Nintendo switch has
sold over 10 million units making a switch the fastest selling console in
the United States and its first ten months I'll paste in Louie's performance
of 4 million units in the same time period this also means that in the first
nine months and I sold the Wii U's entire lifespan that makes sense cuz no
one bought the Wii U coz there weren't games for it because it was hard to make
games for it and if you don't have games then you don't have a system Nintendo's
quarterly reports for the period ending December 31st 2017 New Year's Eve was
Nintendo's most profitable quarter since 2009 Wow the Wii days Nintendo plans on
having over 20 million units by the end of 2018 pretty much doubling what they
did Nintendo plans to have as good of a 2018 as they did of a 2017 and that's
could be a little bit difficult it means that the switch is here to stay ladies
and gentlemen Nintendo wants to have one in every household in fact some analysts
say that there's gonna be more than one in every household and it's
be more of a personal item than a family console item it also means a Nintendo is
making a lot of money that's good from a company and hardware standpoint that
means that the switch will be manufactured more more easily accessible
stories from Target to Walmart to Game Stop or getting regular shipments if you
walk into one of those local stores you're gonna find yourself a switch it
also means that there's more money for promotion more promotion equals more
exposure more exposure means more people know about it more people know about it
means more people who want it more people who want it more people that buy
it promotions lead to sales done from a
software side this means that there's money to fund new projects pokemon
ojisan ultra moon may have seemed like a cash grab to some people but the money
goes to the next generation of pokemon on the switch which to nintendo knows
will really help drive those sales some of the better selling games for the
switch have been its ports Mario Kart 8 deluxe pokken tournament DX and some
people also believe splatoon - although this one is arguable is also a port this
means Nintendo knows that it made a great game a great game that they want
to expose to more people a larger audience also with the switches handheld
mode a brand new way to enjoy a game that you already love I mean come on
Mario Kart 7 for the DS look like this and now you get this in handheld mode
with the switch with Mario Kart 8 deluxe I am added that January 11th 2018 we got
a Nintendo Direct mini it's a mini because it's nothing too crazy just way
to announce some games that they're working on although we did get some fun
reveals and also some actual release dates poker tournament DX is getting new
dlc there's a large competitive market who loves this game and they love its
new content the new kirby game kirby star allies is coming out March 16 2018
I loved crystal shards on the n64 out know about shield Hyrule warriors a hack
and slash game from the Wii U is coming out spring this year with all 29
playable characters from the Wii U and 3ds editions with new content as well a
new mario tennis game is coming out hooray and even though I'm not crazy
about it Mario sports games have a tendency of selling very well mario
odyssey is a new mode of balloon hunting which is actually pretty fun that mixes
your knowledge of a level and your ability to pull off speedrun tactics
turn a buttload of coins donkey kong tropical freeze is being ported over to
the switch i never played it on the wii u i don't know many people who did
and in a strange turn of events we're also getting Dark Souls remastered for
the switch we also got Bayonetta 1 and 2 for the switch an announcement that
Bayonetta 3 is currently in development exclusively for the switch also April
20th we're getting Nintendo labo a cardboard peripheral for the switch
which is well interesting nevertheless now that of all the games listed here
some of them are cool but nothing is a system seller no one's gonna look at
Donkey Kong tropical freeze and Mario Tennis is like you know what I didn't
want breath of the wild I didn't want to do Odyssey but this this is what I've
been waiting for I want to buy the Nintendo switch so I could play Mario
Tennis we still have a three ahead of us we may still get some more information
on the games that we've been teased on games that may come completely out of
the blue and features for the switch as well as his online service and release
dates for games that we've already seen let's look at some possible games we can
see at either III or an additional direct this year we may get some
information on Metroid 4 which we got a what 12 second teaser of the logo as we
may see a demo or some development footage although I don't really think
we'll be seeing this game out this year in a very rare instance we may see a
holiday release but my bets gonna be on 2019 Pokemon for the switch has no
information other than it will be disruptive of the franchise and possibly
use the Unreal Engine will have a title or a leaked codename or anything now I
feel as though this is normal for Nintendo Game Freak especially
considering that Sun and Moon and ultra Sun and Moon leaked online almost 10
days before the release they're playing this one close to the chest we may see a
teaser for design or development footage the way that we did for Sun and Moon you
know where we saw the hand-drawn pickup X and stuff the biggest question is will
we see a 2018 release and honestly I don't know no one does in the past the
release dates between generations are either next year or the year after for
diamond of pearl was 2006 but 2008 platinum then in 2009 we got a heartgold
SoulSilver and the following year black and white in 2010-2011 got nothing
before black and white - then right after that was X&Y then right after that
was horas they skipped a year for Sun and Moon and then the next year
ultrasone altra moon there you well established engine for the game so
they don't need to make their own and I feel as though the hardest part for them
is deciding the content and moreover the style of game it's gonna be setting a
tone for the upcoming generation they have a brand new much more powerful
system to take advantage of and I know that they won't release the game until
it's absolutely perfect one thing is for certain it will not be diamond and pearl
remakes one port that I know that everyone is thinking about is Super
Smash switch or as I like to call it s3 take the content from the Wii U and 3ds
add link from breath of the wild put copy on top of Mario adding all the DLC
and boom definitive edition easy nice nice everyone could agree on that yeah
some games from previous installments that I think that we could see is a new
Super Mario maker or a port of the original since it still does use the
touchscreen capabilities but I think a new one is more likely since the
miiverse is shut down we could see a New Super Mario Bros the
New Super Mario Bros for the Wii was one of the best-selling games of the
Nintendo's entire history however every year since then has kind of gone down
has to do with the Wii U of quite a bit we could see a new mario kart since 8
deluxe was pretty much just a port however that's more likely for 2019 we
could see a new Mario Party I just hope that they get rid of every single thing
that they did in 10 and a lot of things from 9 we could see a new Animal
Crossing we just got the mobile game and that sucks a whole bunch of people into
a franchise the same thing that they just did with Pokemon go and then Sun
and Moon and then we got Super Mario run and then we got Odyssey I also want to
be surprised if we saw our HD remake of a Zelda game or one ported over from the
Wii U Twilight Princess or winwaker or I don't know maybe they'll make a Zelda HD
remake of a game somewhere around that same generation that came out on the Wii
that also uses motion controls
we're probably gonna see how well la Bo's doing over at e3 and possibly see a
new kit being announced we're also probably gonna see it being used in
classrooms and how well it's helping special-needs people and things like
that and kids don't learn how to play the piano on it and all that beautiful
you know community stuff but I know one thing a lot of people are thinking about
is the online services that I think they're gonna start charging September
2018 and more over the Virtual Console the Virtual Console for the switch is
not the same as the Wii or the Wii U cuz now it's a handheld and playing ocarina
time or Paper Mario for the n64 and your hands fall on a plane that's a game
changer homie Nintendo is thinking long and hard but
how they're going to implement it and from their initial idea how they've
already changed it as far as the retro game in the month and what they wanted
to do with that all I know is I want to have all of my Wii and Wii U purchases
and Virtual Console purchases already on the switch they'd be really nice and
they just bring them over for free since I'm paying for the online service or
maybe like I don't know like a $2.00 porting fee although given the
versatility of the game I don't think that's gonna be the case I think they're
just gonna hit you for for a full dollar amount also like 5 10 15 hell maybe even
20 years from now people are still gonna own a switch if they have their entire
virtual console library on there let's think about that for a second there's
gonna be like aftermarket batteries there's gonna be like screen
enhancements that you're gonna get like modded switches that have 4k resolution
and internal up scalars they already are doing that with Zelda X pros GameCube
HDMI adapter and HDMI install for the n64 people are gonna have their entire
library on the switch for a long long time therefore making pretty much all of
the the retro consoles the nest classic the senesce classic the rumored n64
classic all those are gonna be obsolete cuz you know well you're not gonna see
those anymore cuz you're already gonna have all those games not only at home in
1080 but also in your hands and everyone wants them in the hands everyone wants
them in the hands you put a micro SD card in there
you throw a 2 terabyte in theoretically what else do you really need guys we
have a lot in store for us I'm honestly not too crazy about the games that are
coming out right now however right now Nintendo isn't working
on getting new sales Nintendo is working on re-establishing the audience of
people that did not own a Wii U and now own a switch they want to make sure that
all the people who own a switch are getting that we you experience that they
missed out on then possibly come summer III then we're gonna be focusing on the
other half of the year where we're gonna see some system sellers cuz you know
holiday season actually I think I think like twenty twenty-five percent of all
of the switches sales happen like within like a two or three week area right
around Black Friday Christmas time so they may be totally definitely possibly
are going that route once again but guys I want to know your thoughts I want to
know your thoughts on what games you're excited for everyone's gonna say smash
switch and diamond and pearl remix time Drupal remakes aren't happening we're
probably not going to see too much information as far as a new Zelda game
coming out a weird idea is getting all of the handheld games on the switch
anything that involved the DES like diamond and pearl in theory you could
hold the switch sideways and then have touch screen at the bottom and then it'd
be weird with the joy cons though so I don't really know what they're gonna be
doing as far as that although the possibility is there maybe we're gonna
have to wait for the homebrew community to figure that out but yeah guys I'm
wrapping this up i rambled on long enough
