what's up folks my name is Brett and sometimes I wear a beret and I'd like to First apologize
for discussing Nerf news previously without a suit jacket on I have rectified that for today so with
that being said let's jump back into what I just talked about a couple days back Nerf ball because
there have been some interesting developments and by interesting developments I mean one video one
quick tease from Nerf that expands upon a tease that was just an image previously in a short
description if you haven't seen it it appears to be some quick test gameplay showing off those
bunkers that were kind of teased previously that orange filter sepia filter is back so it looks
beautiful beautiful orange tint but the biggest takeaway of course is that we can actually see
the ball the basket no you can actually see The Blasters being used and what is it well it does
still look like that modulus Strife kind of and it's got an adapter for half Dart magazines and
half darts and it's got a weird looking stock which might be a battery stock in this thing is
a modded strife and it's using half darts are we finally getting half darts into the nerfing
world that's what you've been asking for isn't it huh that's all what the comments are on all the
videos that Nerf is posting did I just hit like my settings people keep saying oh Nerf I don't care
what you're doing with this just make half darts and now we can joke that Nerf is going to put out
potentially potentially a half Dart Blaster half darts for their new Nerf ball whatever and I know
that these blasters still might not be the most powerful if they are released this does appear
to be kind of a prototype um you know like test gameplay but also the Blaster looks to be like a
modded Strife so it might not be the final product and I want to know more about what this potential
Blaster could be because it does appear to not be a gel Fire Blaster which is good thank you and we
can see a little bit more of what the basketball meets Airsoft and paintball description means
because there literally is a basketball and Hoops on the field I mean it's tested on like
a basketball court so this is probably going to be something that doesn't speak to everyone who
wants to play like competitive and I know some people are already squawking about like oh it
looks like they ripped off ion rush they ripped off Titan Ball and if we if we really want to go
down that road guys I mean didn't we like rip off Dart tag from Nerf didn't didn't we rip off things
from paintball as well like everyone borrows from everyone when it comes to ideas and I don't think
anyone in like the foam flinging scene is doing something with like an actual basket and a ball
You can disagree with me all you want but I think at the end of the day this isn't going to replace
just based off of this like test footage it's not going to replace something that's like 250 FPS
blasters bring your own blasters your own homemade stuff and try to like compete this is going to be
something different and that's why I'm here for it I'm here to see what Nerf can also bring to
the scene that might be something a little bit unique and that others who are interested can
get into that and if they want to do something a little bit more they can go into something even
more competitive the timing of this obviously is like suspiciously close to the Dart Zone
Pro tournament stuff now that it's all wrapped up for this first season Nerf maybe taking notice of
that and trying to push it out as soon as they did I don't think they just started developing
it yesterday it sounds like this has been in the works for a while but the release time obviously
is very you know clear that it's close enough to a previous competitive event announcing so soon
that they're going to be doing a summer event for next year and there's probably going to be more
information that develops in the coming months as they previously stated but this video this
video meant something and I'm very curious to see where it goes and Nerf if you are watching
definitely keep me in mind for whatever we're doing here because I would love to play I love
any chance to play anything more I want to test your gameplay but while people like me were so
distracted with Nerf ball something else kind of slid in under the radar that was pretty notable
news and that's what I wanted to talk about today Hasbro unveils strategic Partnerships
with Mr Beast and Luka doncic to launch new Nerf pro gel fire and social content apologies to Luka
I don't know if I pronounced your last name right but that's the same name as my dog because I'll
admit I'm a little less familiar with who Luka is but I definitely know who Mr Beast is and you
probably do too and you already probably have some thoughts about what I just said let's read
the first paragraph Hasbro Incorporated a global brand entertainment company has announced Nerf
brand Partnerships with massive digital creator of Mr Beast AKA Jimmy Donaldson and Big Time
philanthropist and basketball All-Star Luka doncic so okay basketball that makes sense but Mr Beast
you love him you hate them he's like the face of YouTube he's like the face of all social media
right now it's hard not to know who he is at this point he's done some crazy things on the platform
when I first found his videos back way back when he was still pretty big when I first saw
his videos but I I saw them and I was like that's pretty cool I liked some of his earlier stuff when
I first became aware of him he still makes good stuff obviously it's it's not so much for me but
I can still appreciate them and I can still enjoy them if I wanted to watch his videos it's hard not
to acknowledge just all the work that he puts in into his stuff and his team especially it's not
just him anymore and the the philanthropy they do as well is also pretty noteworthy so I do respect
him I know a lot of people might not be so keen on like his style because it it does go a little bit
towards the kids and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that especially like how he's doing
that because there are plenty of other channels out there and even just Nerf related ones that
Pander to children and are awful and maybe I'll make a video about those one day but Mr Beast and
a Nerf collaboration I'm just shocked we haven't seen this before so this kind of news doesn't
surprise me it makes a lot of sense just off the top of my head if they made a Mr Beast Blaster
holy smokes would that sell amazingly well I'm tempted to say don't do that but at the same time
you know what go for it I don't care just do your stuff if you make it a Nerf limited though and
you make it super expensive it's super exclusive I don't know about that one the two-year partnership
with Mr Beast kicks off this fall bringing Nerf together with one of YouTube's most viewed
creators of all time through another exciting social content campaign the popular Creator and
Nerf are also working together on a Nerf blaster collab to be revealed and launched for pre-order
I okay believe me or not I did not read that part yet and I oh my God I just joked that they
could do that and um yeah okay Nerf has been rapidly rising in the digital space being the
first Hasbro owned brand to join Tick Tock last year that continues to pump out fun hilarious
and unique content by collaborating with such a prolific content creator the brand is sure to
keep fans buzzing please continue to tell us about how you started a tick tock page and you're doing
so well you know Sophie is obviously a big part of that Nerf don't forget you didn't do this on your
own with Luka the two-year partnership with Nerf includes an action-packed branded social content
campaign featuring the Superstar athlete that just started to roll out followed by a Luka X Nerf pro
gel Fire Blaster collab item dropping in 2023 by it launching in 2023 it's definitely not in this
case the gel fire mythic and it also sounds like they've got another one planned your thoughts on
that may vary additionally Nerf will donate a slew of branded products and blasters to Luka's
charity of choice the Luka doncic Foundation which focuses on children's physical and mental health
and well-being through the power of play play now I like that of course anytime giving the donations
is great the power of play anything to get people outside and playing also great what's interesting
is when they say donate a slew of branded products like they don't specify how much they're going to
give it's like it's going to be a slow what a weird word and actually it says this in both
articles that I found initially we're gonna do like a hundred thousand dollars of stuff 10
000 blasters no no a slew you got a slew you got a slew slew you 2022 has already been such
a major year for Nerf as we unveiled the Brand's all-new mascot Murph and released a bunch of
exciting Nerf consumer products and blasters and the excitement continues with Mr Beast
and Luka said Teresa Pearson vice president and Global franchise strategy and brand management at
Hasbro partnering with Mr Beast and Luka to bring their iconic Brands to Nerf has been incredibly
rewarding and we can't wait for fans to see these come to life we're honored to work with Mr Beast
and Luka because we admire the purpose they bring to the world as Avid philanthropists and admirable
role models for kids and families everywhere we can't wait to unveil what's to come for these
two icons who we know will help the Nerf brand encourage responsible play I have no problem with
encouraging responsible play you know that is a thing that we always have to keep in mind when it
comes to toy blasters whether it's a gel blasters now especially or even Nerf ones like foam dart
flinging blasters and I have no problem with Nerf getting larger content creators or pro athletes
on board to to you know advertise our products that's what they've always done the athlete part
you know Nerf house they get a bunch of dudes together just to sit around and potentially
shoot their blasters at each other and of course for over 50 years Nerf has remained an unrivaled
category leader an action-based performance toys and the brand has continued to innovate
evolve and transform into a leading pop culture cross-denerational active play Lifestyle brand
you're not wrong I'm part of that but it's getting a little bit harder to say that the unrivaled you
know champions of the foam dart industry so once again it's a big old tease on what's to come not
so much this year I haven't seen Mr Beast post about anything related to this so I'm going to
assume 2023 for that one since no real specifics were given on what his Blaster might be or any
other social media campaigns he's doing but the Luka one I've actually seen one additional piece
of information if you go to tiktok if you're brave enough to do that go to tiktok and you
go to his tiktok page you'll find an AI generated man I did not expect that but you will see then a
non-ai generated man playing with a new Nerf pro gel fire mythic and it's very riveting content as
um as I would expect from a pro athlete playing with a new Nerf Pro jail fire mythic
good this this is good this is what I wanted okay so maybe his video isn't that interesting
but but but Nerf did share his video or Stitch it or whatever The tiktok phrase is
and announced something to be coming along with it why is this man posting a pro Nerf gel fire mythic
why am I saying the full name every time I don't know why did he share that because something soon
is coming 10 15 October 15th there is a gel fire thingamabobber on the horizon and well I waited
long enough that I actually do know what that is unfortunately that's what we got to talk about
next time these collaborations make sense the pro athletes have always been a positive thing to get
people out in play I have no problem with that if they make lazy content not so much then I'm like
get a load of this but when it's about you know making a game or you know just showing people
more you know activities that they could be doing whether it involves Nerf or just getting outside
that's all fine and dandy and the Mr B stuff are you really surprised is this really that
shocking it shouldn't be and maybe we'll get some really interesting blasters out of it we know at
least one might be on the horizon and hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg because for some
people this might be a pretty big collector's item so that's what I know and I'd love to hear
what you guys think in the comment section down below thank you everyone so much for watching
subscribe for more nerf half darts and I will see you next time inside of a Mr Beast video
okay okay I won't but that would be weird Nerf cross Mr Beast cross Bert
