the Switch 2 is among us right the
0:02
launch is coming June 5th That's less
0:04
than two weeks away and there's a lot of
0:06
compelling chatter about the Switch 2
0:08
coming around Now there's nothing really
0:10
earthshattering that's on the surface
0:12
but when you line up all the pieces a
0:14
very clear picture starts forming and
0:17
honestly it all adds up Now we know
0:19
again like I said it officially launches
0:21
June 5th And trust me coverage on this
0:23
channel is going to be wall to- wall
0:25
We're going to talk about hardware
0:27
launch games accessories upgrade pass
0:29
free and paid and anything else that we
0:32
could talk about Switch to related So if
0:34
you're even slightly curious about this
0:36
new console and the games coming out for
0:38
it hit that subscription button We're on
0:40
the road to 100,000 subscribers But
0:42
here's what I'm thinking about Let's
0:44
look at what we know with the launch
0:45
week right we got Mario Kart World
0:48
Cyberpunk Street Fighter 6 just to name
0:50
a couple that are all locked in here
0:53
guys and my underrated favorite Fast
0:56
Fusion Guys make sure you check that out
0:58
And then in July we got Donkey Kong
0:59
Bonanza coming But there's still a lot
1:01
of questions about that game itself We
1:04
know it involves exploration It's a 3D
1:08
but what's the story what's the point
1:11
what's the villain we haven't really
1:12
seen much about it to be completely
1:13
honest And that's why I feel we need a
1:17
Nintendo Direct which coincidentally
1:20
there is a rumor going around that
1:23
having a June Nintendo Direct whether
1:26
it's the same week as the Switch to
1:28
launch or shortly after according to
1:30
several sources including the always
1:33
interested PH Brazil Yeah that guy A new
1:36
Direct is supposed to be landing within
1:38
the launch week or a week or so after
1:41
which is believable Now supposedly he
1:44
dropped this info during a live stream
1:46
and now it's making its rounds on the
1:48
internet Reddit various message boards
1:50
and everywhere else that keeps an eye on
1:52
Nintendo leaks And say what you want
1:54
about PH Brazil but you know his track
1:56
record really isn't that bad as far as a
1:58
leaker goes Sure he's missed a few calls
2:00
here and there like every leaker but
2:02
when he does get it right he tends to be
2:04
on the money And if you honestly follow
2:07
Nintendo's patterns a June Direct makes
2:09
perfect sense Usually game companies
2:12
announce stuff in June because that's
2:14
when Summer Gamefest happens That's when
2:16
E3 used to happen It's a tradition
2:18
There's always a major presentation in
2:21
June And just because the new Nintendo
2:23
Switch 2 is coming out doesn't mean
2:24
they're going to skip that tradition In
2:26
fact I think they need it more than ever
2:28
now to flesh out the rest of the year
2:30
because you got June July and then what
2:32
what's else for the Switch 2 right so if
2:36
let's let's go ahead and just for
2:38
example talk about Donkey Kong Bonanza
2:40
right it's clearly a key summer title
2:43
That's like their July banger but
2:44
there's still so much about the game we
2:46
don't know Then there's the Kirby Airide
2:48
game which is supposed to drop this year
2:50
And of course Metroid Prime 4 which
2:52
where's the release date for it so where
2:55
better to drop that bombshell than a big
2:58
post launch Nintendo Direct to get that
3:01
hype going you know get the initial
3:03
launch week done get a big banger direct
3:05
and hype everybody up If I had to guess
3:08
I would bet on the Direct happening a
3:11
week after launch That gives Nintendo a
3:13
chance to ride the launch buzz get the
3:16
system into the players hands and then
3:17
followed up with more announcements to
3:19
keep the momentum going And don't forget
3:22
they delayed this system to stack its
3:25
first year lineup So there's definitely
3:27
more coming that we don't know and it's
3:29
pretty exciting So right now the
3:31
confirmed lineup for the rest of 2025
3:33
does include some solid stuff but for
3:36
the holiday season we're actually still
3:38
waiting to see Nintendo's big move We
3:40
got Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong
3:43
right at June and July which are good
3:45
for sure but they're not going to carry
3:47
the entire holiday window for Nintendo
3:50
They're holding something back here
3:51
There has to be a big holiday surprise
3:53
I'm guessing a fleshed out Mario title
3:57
Okay this is the 40th anniversary of the
4:01
franchise and why not being bring a big
4:05
banger out right there's also Nintendo
4:07
Switch 2 Tour the uh whatever that ends
4:10
up being which is technically first
4:12
party but it's more of like a side
4:14
product project that it feels like We
4:16
got Hyro Warriors which looks exciting
4:19
Nobody's talking about Age of
4:20
Imprisonment Sure it's technically a
4:23
second party game that's made by Quite
4:24
Techmo but it involves Zelda And yeah
4:28
it's not a main Zelda title but to me
4:30
the other two Hyrule Warriors games are
4:32
still exciting I don't think enough
4:34
people are talking about it So what's
4:36
the big first party holiday release it's
4:39
still unknown but I'm thinking we're
4:40
getting a Mario something going on And
4:42
of course there's third party support
4:44
which has only been partially revealed
4:46
We had some sizzle reels I think
4:47
Nintendo's obviously saving a lot of
4:50
that for a future showcase Right now
4:52
we've seen games from Sega Capcom CD
4:55
Project Red with Cyberpunk we've seen 2K
4:57
announced EA's Madden and others But
5:01
that's just the first initial wave right
5:03
and it's worth remembering that after
5:05
June 5th third party devs are free to
5:07
unveil whatever they got planned for the
5:10
Switch too Right now they don't want too
5:11
many companies to just start releasing
5:13
and making announcements I think we'll
5:15
see a much broader spectrum of games
5:17
once that NDA wall comes down Microsoft
5:21
has supposedly been working on multiple
5:23
titles for that platform too So when are
5:25
they going to show up i've saw a rumor
5:27
not too long ago of Master Chief
5:28
Collection probably as well as other
5:30
titles So who knows honestly Uh so yeah
5:34
I think a direct in June would be the
5:36
logical place to pull back the curtain
5:39
and all this uncertainty And even though
5:41
the focus will probably obviously be on
5:44
the Switch 2 not let's not forget that
5:46
the Switch One is still not dead that
5:48
they're still throwing some support for
5:50
it So it's not dead by a long shot It's
5:52
backwards compatible too which means
5:54
Nintendo could still show off enhanced
5:56
ports or dual platform releases that
5:59
will benefit both systems I think that
6:01
would be an honest way to go There's
6:03
still tens of millions of Switch One
6:05
units out there and publishers would be
6:07
insane not to tap into that installation
6:10
base of gamers whether it's enhanced
6:12
releases 3DS ports or even Wii remasters
6:16
or a summer direct that could easily
6:19
carve out a few slots for a Switch One
6:21
you know like a "Hey guys we got these
6:23
Switch One games still and if you have a
6:25
Switch 2 you put these in there you get
6:27
some kind of upgrade." I think that
6:28
would help out I think that would get
6:30
people to jump over slowly but
6:32
surely And I I think games that target a
6:36
broader or more budget conscious
6:38
audience that they can't afford a Switch
6:40
to would be smart You know it continues
6:42
to give them money right that and at the
6:44
end that's what Nintendo wants Right now
6:46
will we see actual performance upgrades
6:49
for older titles running on the Switch
6:51
too i think some companies will but some
6:54
definitely won't Some might offer free
6:56
nextG upgrades while others will push
6:58
the whole full full price Switch 2
7:00
editions right i don't think some people
7:02
will be offering free upgrades for
7:04
everything like like Hogwarts Legacy was
7:06
like a $10 upgrade and it honestly it'll
7:09
probably be a case by case scenario So
7:12
to wrap up my thoughts honestly yeah
7:14
this this June Direct is not confirmed
7:16
yet but there's all the signs that are
7:18
pointing to it happening The timeline
7:20
makes sense The content's there Nintendo
7:23
loves to control their own message And
7:25
with Summer Game Fest happening around
7:26
the same time they're going to want to
7:28
dominate the headlines with their own
7:30
show That's Nintendo does right it might
7:33
not be launch week It might not even be
7:34
mid June but there will be a June Direct
7:38
Honest Absolutely Like I feel it would
7:40
be the smart move So let me know in the
7:42
comments what you guys think Do you
7:44
think a June Direct is happening should
7:46
Nintendo split their showcases into a
7:48
Switch One or Switch 2 segment and which
7:51
games do you want to see covered first
7:53
my personal order right now is Mario
7:55
Kart World of course Fast Fusion Then
7:58
I'd like to see some Street Fighter 6
7:59
updates maybe some Switch exclusive
8:01
stuff with that Cyberpunk just to name
8:04
another one But I don't know It just
8:06
depends uh you know how much time I need
8:09
with each of those So once the Switch 2
8:11
drops expect multiple uploads per day
8:15
You know there's all sorts of stuff
8:16
coming on with it This is coming quick
8:17
guys performance comparisons full
8:19
reviews free upgrades it's all coming So
8:22
make sure you hit that subscription
8:23
button Again we're on the road to
8:25
100,000 subscribers I will see you on
8:27
the next one Thank you guys for watching
